So I am assuming we all know who the Dread Wolf is. And this has me questioning Solas's reaction to you if you drink the Well of Sorrows. When you get back to Skyhold and talk to Solas, he gets angry at you that you are now the servant of old  elvan god.

 

Yet he is a god himself and he is friends with Flemeth or Mythal. So did I miss something? I am just trying to understand why he would blow up at you when he 1) a god himself and 2) has some relationship with Mythal/Flemeth.

He doesn't like slavery and is angry that you allowed yourself to become essentially that to Mythal since she can control your actions such as when she commands the Inqusiitor to stop Morrigan. Just because he's old friends with Mythal doesn't mean he approves of someone being her slave.

The Inquisitor unwittingly agrees to become Mythal's slave, Fen'Harel is defined by rebellion. That's one answer.

 

If he had a backup plan in place to take Mythal's essence, he could've known the Inquisitor might potentially become his.

 

Perhaps he thought you were being naive; repeating his mistakes with the orb.

 

On a similar note, he prides himself on wisdom. Literally speaking.

I was thinking he was afraid that the well would reveal who he truly was, but with Mythal able to control it she may have kept that knowledge from you for his sake.

That is a pretty interesting take on it. But if that is that case then Morrigan could know Solas's true nature if she had drank from the Well of Sorrows.

I wondered that too, he's obviously anti-slavery stance which is what he views the vallaslin and the Well as but he could have more personal motivation to object too.

 

Not that he does object until you get back to Skyhold but still.

He could have yelled at her too but the Inquisitor wasn't around to see it ;)

I was so not aware of this!

The whole thing is a bit odd.    He won't drink himself and clearly doesn't want the Inquisitor to but agrees that someone should drink from it, if only to ensure that Cory does not.    By default that person is Morrigan.    If he was afraid the drinker would discover about him, then surely he wouldn't want anyone to drink from it.

 

Actually all the drinker might discover is that the codex about Fen'Harel was correct and he was more rebel than trickster.     There is actually no reason why the voices in the well should know Solas' true identity.    If you were to challenge him and say "you're not really a simple apostate are you?" then I think the voices could tell you if he lied in his answer.    But I doubt they would whisper "Look he's a god".    

 

It may also be that he realises Morrigan is not someone to blab without good reason and if she did realise who he was, might well chose not to reveal the information or at the very least discuss it with him first.      Even if the voices only told her he was lying about his identity, she would be less likely to worry about this than the Inquisitor.

 

I think the main reason though, is that he doesn't want the Inquisitor to become the effectual slave of the well in view of the state of events and their position of power.   Whether or not he knows at this point that Mythal isn't really dead, the idea of putting your will under the control of the well is clearly not a good one.    Morrigan can easily be disposed of if she proves a problem - the Inquisitor cannot.
