So having gone through Trespasser again recently, one thing still kinda confuses me.

Now, possibly, Solas didn't want to go through his long and elaborate backstory, but it didn't seem implied that he was once one of the Evanuris. Rather, that he was (assuming Cole's dialogue was referring to Solas) a servant of Mythal who removed his vallaslin and rose up in rebellion. Maybe he was one of Mythal's highest ranking servants and went rogue, while she provided support. Maybe he was just a regular elf that liked to travel. But his beef with the Evanuris seems more personal than overthrowing the local feudal overlords.

So what's with Fen'harel iconography being everywhere? If one of Mythal's former top guys, that would make sense as an extension of her authority. Dirthamen would acknowledge Mythal's authority over him without the embarrassment of another god's image in his temple. But if not, then the wolf statues everywhere is kinda odd. What does everyone think Solas's relation to the rest of the Evanuris was?

Here are some of my guesses as to his relationships with the various Evanuris. If it seems far-fetched, well then I'm just telling stories:

 

Firstly, I think that Solas had to be one of the Evanuris, even if briefly, because he has mosaics dedicated to him alongside those of the others, most prominently in Mythal's temple (where Mythal's ancient guardians still hang out). He even has a puzzle set up in his honor. This indicates to me that if Solas was once Mythal's servant, that she supported him in gaining power, and may in fact have needed another person on her side because the balance of whatever political thing was going on (probably the decision of whether or not to continue to utilize some kind of weapon like blight magic, or red lyrium) was going against her. She wanted and needed him to have power, enough so that he could be useful to her against the other Evanuris.

 

Perhaps the Dread Wolf her dog was literally the only person she could trust. I'm still not sure if Solas apologizes to Flemythal in the end of DA:I because of what he is about to do, because he failed her, or because he betrayed her too in the end in some way. Maybe all three, knowing him.

 

Solas' statues/idols can also be found in Dirthamen's temple. Solas values wisdom and learning, Dirthamen is all about knowledge and secrets. Fen'Harel is a trickster, Dirthamen is the master of Fear and Deceit. I can see the two of them as having been pretty tight at one point, though that may have changed due to Solas' rise in power and what happened between Mythal and Falon'Din. Dirth certainly seems to have supported Solas until the end, though, because of the presence of those wolf statues in his inner sanctum which it seems were present at the time of the Veil's creation. Perhaps Dirthamen went along with Solas' plan, knowing he would be trapped with the rest? One-sided Solas/Dirthamen maybe? Aw hell now I ship it...

 

When speaking about the other gods at the ToM, Solas seems neutral about Andruil, though there is a story elsewhere about her coming after him for hunting the halla without her permission. I have seen this bandied about as a metaphor for him pursuing Ghilan'nain romantically, because in stories she takes the form of a halla, and Ghilan'nain was one of Andruil's favored servants before she became Evanuris.

 

I can definitely see a goddess getting more mad at another god for dallying with one of their high-ranking people, than over some random antelope.

 

He refers to Andruil as the Goddess of Sacrifice, and might have some kind of respect for her, as he didn't speak of her derisively like he did about Falon'Din. Solas would know her reasons for doing whatever it was that she was doing - something of which made Mythal have to go drag her own daughter back by the scruff of the neck and wipe her memory - even if he didn't entirely approve of her methods.

 

Falon'Din on the other hand. It's pretty clear that he hated his guts:

 

"I do not believe they sing songs about Falon'Din's vanity. It is said Falon'Din's appetite for adulation was so great, he began wars to amass more worshippers. The blood of those who wouldn't bow low filled lakes as wide as oceans. Mythal rallied the gods, once the shadow of Falon'Din's hunger stretched across her own people. It was almost too late. Falon'Din only surrendered when his brethren bloodied him in his own temple."

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Solas was there for that fight, and that he took great satisfaction in stomping on ol'Lethanavir's face, even though he was Dirthamen's brother.

 

Ghilan'nain kind of puzzles me because you have her stags hanging out a place where a Solas romance scene happens, the wyvern grotto (albeit a failed romance, maybe that's foreshadowing for, uh, backstory?), and there is also a shrine with his wolf statues bracketing it (and a clear space for a very large eluvian, which is missing) in a grove that is dedicated to Ghilan'nain. Something was up with these two, whether he was simply her counterpart in a conflict between Mythal and Andruil, both of the goddesses trying to get the upper hand by promoting their lieutenants to godhood, or some sort of competition to prove which one of them was a better servant to their lady, or yeah, maybe they were shagging... though Ghilan'nain seemed to have some sort of relationship with Dirthamen too, if you look at the sinner codex... oh my, was there some sort of sordid telanovela love dodecahedron plot going on in with the Evanuris? Sorry, I love that shit.).

 

June and Sylaise are kind of vague, and Solas doesn't bring them up except in the general sense of referring to all of the Evanuris.

 

The codexes give little to no information about June other than he made cool stuff. I bet he came up with a lot of ideas of how to use lyrium once the elves discovered it though. I bet he came up with eluvians and those weird magic tree things, and terrifying death weapons of all shapes and sizes. Yay, Junay.

 

As for Sylaise, all I know about her is that she was extremely envious of all of the other gods, and so she needed her servants to brag extensively about how much better she was:

 

Sylaise, whose heat rivals Elgar'nan's light.
Sylaise, whose temples rival Mythal's cities.
Sylaise, whose breath rivals Andruil's spear.
Sylaise, whose skill rivals June's craft.
Sylaise, whose fire cannot be quenched.

We give ourselves gladly to your service.

 

I wonder if she and June commiserated, because Sylaise's breath could heat his forge really, really well. Also I wonder if artsy-fartsy Sylaise was the one to invent vallaslin, because they were trying to find new and fun things to do with lyrium (because maybe, just maybe all vallaslin had lyruim in them once? Too far a speculation, I guess. Fenris' vallaslin has certain similarities to June's in the design, tho).

 

And then there's Elgar'nan.

 

I want to know more about this guy. Solas doesn't say anything about him, but he doesn't have to. Elgar'nan is/was Elvhenan. He was its progenitor, its heart, I think. So everything that was good or bad about Elvhen society, would have come from his initial influence and his choices. The first and probably wisest of which was to let Mythal primarily be the one to adjucate. Mythal tempered him, balanced him, but ultimately deferred to him if a conflict among the other Evanuris had to be settled, (see the sinner codex), unless it was something that was between him and another Evanuris, then she would intervene.

 

It seems like Elgar'nan, also, to put it lightly, was a difficult person, who sought out fights a lot. Like, he fought his dad who was the Sun and buried him for a while; he fought the Titans and turned them into glowing statues of himself just to be a dick; he and Falon'din just got into it... Solas probably finds him exasperating, and terrifying at the same time. But I think there might have been another side to him that could be very shrewd and calculating, not just mindlessly violent. Solas could never have been counted as one of the Evanuris if Elgar'nan did not at some point approve of him - perhaps appreciating his intelligence and his power, and, before everything came crashing down with Mythal's murder, might have considered him useful for putting the other Evanuris off balance. It's something to ponder on, in my opinion.

 

And that just got really long and I don't write essays. :P

Dirthamen would acknowledge Mythal's authority over him without the embarrassment of another god's image in his temple. But if not, then the wolf statues everywhere is kinda odd. What does everyone think Solas's relation to the rest of the Evanuris was?

 

It is a little weird. I'm having trouble really making sense of it myself.

 

My first instinct was to simply say he was a subordinate to Mythal. Maybe a "god" in his own right, but only a minor one - like Eros to Aphrodite, or Phobos and Deimos to Ares. The fact that the games go out of their way to point out that Fen'Harel is often shown to be serving Mythal - a relationship that doesn't seem to have existed between any other Evanuris - would suggest that that was his role, and that all the talk about Fen'Harel being a proper god on par with the others is just Dalish distortion.

 

But that mosaic throws a wrench into that explanation - the mosaics, and the fact the legends Felassan tell all spoke of Fen'Harel as an independent entity rather than Mythal's attack dog (Alternatively, maybe Felassan left all that out to seem more Dalish-y). He was deemed important enough to get his own piece, and apparently his own legends, which means either he was a god proper, or minor gods also got the same treatment, and Solas just happened to be the only around. I don't find explanation two to be fantastically probable (All the Evanuris and only one of them had a lieutenant?) so that's out. Maybe all the other lieutenants rebelled, and became the Forgotten Ones while Solas was honored for his loyalty - but then, why aren't any of the other Forgotten Ones remembered for rebellion like Solas was? Why don't we see any trace of said subordinates for the other Evanuris? And how the hell were these guys great generals if they had one batch of lieutenants rebel over one thing, and then had the last lieutenant rebel over something completely different? Rampant mutiny's not generally a sign of good leadership.

 

I guess it's also possible that the Forgotten Ones were Solas' generals, after he rebelled, which would explain why neither they nor any hypothetical subordinates of the other Evanuris gets as much attention or significance as him. But if that's the case, it makes me wonder about how Solas supposedly locked them away as well. Where they unstable, and had to be taken out? Were they betrayed - by Solas, by someone else? It would explain why that codex entry on Gelduran shows him as having a huge chip on his shoulder about the Evanuris - if he and the rest of the Forgotten Ones were liberated slaves fighting to overthrow the system, then of course they'd be angry. And if they were maybe taking that anger to extreme, irrational lengths... Solas does advise Sera that she needs to dispose of her chaos-causing agents if she ever wants to rebuild. 

 

And then there's that one line making oblique references to "her," who appears to have betrayed Solas in some way. Don't know what to make of that.

Hi guys just finish DAI and I have a theory about solas plan

Ok this is coming from trespasser and I don't know how to hide this like spoiler so 

SPOILER!!!

 

Didn't solas describe that the ancient empire was everywhere literally, so imagine all those floating cities that worked with magic, after the fall of the elves humans build their cities on top so what if the elven cities are underground and just waiting to be "brought online" when solas opens the door to the fade. I imagine humans cities will not survive when the ground falls from beneath, as for the humans ...well you get the picture

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't take this as proof of... anything, really. If it were explicitly laid out, even only in a codex entry, then maybe I'd give it some weight. But simply being there? I wouldn't chalk that up to anything - it's not like Weekes or Gaider or someone designed each individual asset and environment by hand, and I can just hear the conversation taking place at BioWare's dev offices now:

 

Random Underpaid Environment Artist One: "Okay guys, I know this is the third week in a row that we've had to work past sundown, but we've got one last area left to do! It's the lost elven temple of, ehm... *Squinting* Dirtyman. What do you think we should do?"

 

Random Underpaid Environment Artist Two: "What is this, some pointless side-quest area? You think anyone's going to actually look closely at this? Most players won't even see it! Phone it in so I can go home and actually see my family for the first time in months."

 

RUEA 1: "Oh, uh, okay, well, what assets should we use? Maybe we should ask the director? Or one of the writers?"

 

RUEA 2: "Just open up the elven assets pack and slap all the popular ones in there. I'm sure it'll be fine. Like that dumb coyote statue. It's big, it's pretty, everyone loves dogs, it'll work great."

I don't think Bioware has the resources to show us all of the Evanuris,honestly i think it would be better if they remain locked up in their pocket dimensions.
Whatever plan Solas has i don't think he understand that the Evanuris have their own plans as well and that this time around it would be difficult to catch them off-guard.
I think that Thedas as it is now sadly has no chance to beat the Evanuris.

Hey, Alexander of Macedon faced multiple mutinies from his officers.  :lol:

I could easily buy the Forgotten Ones being other lieutenants. However, we are overlooking one other god who had a lieutenant; Andruil.

In this theory, both Solas and Ghilan'nain were offered power by the Evanuris, but Solas used that knowledge to reject godhood and become a rebel, while Ghilan'nain continued her experiments and became part of the Evanuris. 

Ghilan'nain and the Taken Shape Codex entries in Trespasser is intriguing, as is the mention of 'Pride staying her hand' when it came to destroying the sea-creatures, especially because we know now that Solas (Pride) has always been his name.

 

I still want to know how the Executors Across the Sea fit into all of this!  <_<

I... don't think she's a Lavellan. She looks like a Trevelyan. *points at her rounded ears*

*Sunny Greatly Disapproves *  -_-

 

 

Ooooh..I didn't even notice that :(

 

*Night Greatly Disapproves* 

 

I don't get it?  What's the big deal.  I still stand by the stance that the only reason, the only, reason Solas only can love a Lavellan is because of time/budget restraints and possibly because of some lore thing they wanted to do in future chapters.

 

My reasoning being, Solas dislikes them all equally and if anything he dislikes the Dalish more than most and says at almost every opportunity possible that he doesn't consider the elves his people.  Character wise it makes zero sense that he wouldn't be able to fall in love with a woman of any of the other races if she was the right personality.  Solas values knowledge, compassion, and curiosity as well as openness and a willingness to accept spirits and the Fade as more than what they have been taught they are.  

 

I'd get it if he related to the modern elves in any shape or form or if he disliked the other races but liked the Dalish but this is not the case.  I don't blame BioWare for this.  For one I always chose to play an elf anyways so it didn't affect my play through and I would rather a company leave something out/take extra time to do it than do it poorly.  I'm just saying I don't think it is fair to shame or look down on those who chose to see him as loving their other races whatever that may be.

Solas - Female Adaar romance. It would be hilarious to watch because he is only as tall as the position her bosom so the kissing scenes would be him motorboating Adaar's rack. Then again he is a wolf, a big bad wolf so that would not be unexpected. I think I really should stop reading adult Red Riding Hood fanfiction.

 

:P

It's for the same reason you cringe every time you see fanart of Solas as a dad -- It's just not my thing.

 

Though if people want to ship Solas with someone else other than Lavellan, then that's their thing and are free to do so and I'm not telling people to stop drawing (or making fics of) their preferred ship. I personally just would rather ignore or not see artworks of a pairing that I'm not fond of. 

 

And forgive me if my reaction to that artwork came off rude. It's just that I clicked those links expecting Solavellan but what I saw instead was Solavelyan so you could imagine how I was feeling.  :wacko: (It doesn't excuse my rudeness but just thought I'd let you know.)

It's true about Tala's grumpy face haha.

 

Sorry if I came off as aggressive about it.  It is just I feel like the hate against any pairing besides the Solavellan one is consistently pointed out versus just saying "urgh not my thing" but leaving it be.  I guess it was the commenting on it instead of just ignoring that got me because I feel like any none Solavellan pairing gets a lot of vocal hate causing those who do like to imagine other pairings to feel bad/not create things.  That said I do see what you mean when you say you expected Solavellan and got something else.  I tend to get thrown off every time I accidentally stumble on a SolasxDorian artwork.  Also why I do try always make sure I tag my artwork in a way that people aren't surprised and can easily find my Solavellan stuff v.s. my Modern Girl in ThedasxSolas stuff so they can avoid one or the other accordingly.

Oh I don't really mind the Solas and Trevelyan art, I just was surprised, like Sunny said.. I thought it was Lavellan. I wasn't paying attention to her ears. It's also not my thing. *shrugs* People are free to draw what they wish. I see all kinds of odd pairings when I'm digging through Deviant Art. :blink:

For me it's because it's another example of humans taking anything elfy and making it about them.  Human Herald of Andraste takes the Dread Wolf as her lover!

Hey, Alexander of Macedon faced multiple mutinies from his officers.  :lol:

I could easily buy the Forgotten Ones being other lieutenants. However, we are overlooking one other god who had a lieutenant; Andruil.

In this theory, both Solas and Ghilan'nain were offered power by the Evanuris, but Solas used that knowledge to reject godhood and become a rebel, while Ghilan'nain continued her experiments and became part of the Evanuris. 

Ghilan'nain and the Taken Shape Codex entries in Trespasser is intriguing, as is the mention of 'Pride staying her hand' when it came to destroying the sea-creatures, especially because we know now that Solas (Pride) has always been his name.

 

I still want to know how the Executors Across the Sea fit into all of this!  <_<

 

Him being like Ghilan'nain is possible. I guess I just think it's weird that legends of Ghilan'nain's uplifting survive, but legends of Fen'Harel's don't. And it begs the question of what Solas did to get such attention. I doubt being a particularly loyal lieutenant would really cut it - maybe he killed the first Titan, or discovered/invented the Orb (Which is probably that "demense" talked about in that codex entry.) But I've always wondered about that codex entry on Ghilan'nain and the beasts of the sea, because I... I just can't think of any reason why Solas would care. It's not like he shows any interest in the sea or what lives in it. Sometimes I wonder if it's just a rare occasion where "Pride" isn't referring to Solas because... what has it got anything to do with anything? 

 

As for the Executors - I don't think they really fit into this at all. BioWare said they planned for five games, which means we've got two left (Maybe three, if Inquisition was split and they aren't going to combine the left-over story bits with 4). They probably figure if they want to extend the franchise beyond this current metaplot, they've got to start laying the tracks for it now. Which I greatly appreciate, because I loathe sudden and unforeshadowed twists to a plot, especially when they exist simply to justify another sequel. So, I'm not sure they've got any relevance right now - there's really no place to fit them in. 

 

*Shrug* But,  I could be wrong. It's not like it'd be the first time.

I'm one of the few that like Solas x Trevelyan  :ph34r: I find it ironic to see the human leader of an organization affiliated with the chantry not only being a puppet of an ancient elven god, but even falling in love with him. Lots of Andraste/Shartan parallels here, especially if you play as a mage. I can see why it could bother other people though.

People can like what they like.  As long as they're not shipping f!Inquisitor with Dorian or m!Inquisitor with Sera then I don't get offended.  It just makes me a little uncomfortable.
