It's just a theory of mine but could it be that Solas was the reason that the old Tevinter mages (including Corypheus) breached the Golden city and caused the Blight to occur? There are various reasons I believe this and that's because:

 

A) Solas is one of the biggest expert of the fade. The Golden City was in the fade and he probably knew about it before it became the Black City. Since he's an Ancient Elf, he was probably there when it happened.

 

B ) Corypheus got the elven orb from Solas so we definitely know that Solas and Cory have history together.

 

C) In Legacy, Cory says that Dumat spoke to the Magisters and told them to breach the Golden City. He also implies that he was tricked. What is Fan'Harel famous for? Being the Lord of Tricksters. What if Solas pretended to be Dumat and spoke to the Magisters in their dreams/the fade in hopes of convincing them to breach the Golden City for him. If this is true, he probably knew that it would cause the Golden City to turn black and unleash the Blight on the world.

 

D) Solas really seems to hate Grey Wardens for some reason. He does give some reasons of them being fools but most of them is very vague about it. I believe it's because he wants the Blight to succeed but the Grey Wardens keep preventing that from happened every time so he has grown to hate them.

 

The reason I believe he wants the Blight to succeed is so he can destroy the human influence all over thedas and then use his eluvian keystone (that Briala currently has) to make all Elves join him in his new Utopia. Even elves who don't agree with him would have to go for the sake of survival after the Blight. He does say the in the after credit that his "people" need him.

 

This theory could turn out to be completely bull by the time DA4 rolls around and Solas might just be some old Ancient Elves/God who loves sucking other peoples soul but until then I'm guessing away.

That seems to be a bit of a stretch. One of the things he's angriest about is the plan to kill the other two Old Gods preemptively, and he says it could make things even worse. I think he knows something about the Blight and the Old Gods that other people don't, but I don't think that he was responsible.

You must really hate Solas to think he is that evil. Trickster gods are usually borderline between good and evil. In your scenario, he'd need a mustache to twirl as he laughs BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!  Do I think it possible that he unleashed the Blight unintentionally?  Maybe. Do I think he hates all humans, dwarves and Qunari? Nope! 

 

And he didn't "Suck her soul out." Flemeth's body was dying, even her magic could no longer sustain it. To exist at all, she had to have somewhere to go. She came into him willingly -- remember? No soul can be forced -- Flemeth told us that herself. Her only chance to survive was the chance he offered, to come into him. I think the Dread Wolf is desperately trying to undo that which he has done.

 

Now if Solas were an Altmer in Tamriel, I might buy your hypothesis, because they really DO want to end the mundane world (I think I got that right...Tamriel experts, feel free to correct me if I misunderstood the lore). But in Thedas? Nah.  I think his "hatred" for the Wardens is because the old gods are somehow a part of his culture (perhaps the forgotten ones or the elven gods "locked" away), not because he doesn't want the Blight to end.

If you ignore all the murder, enslavement, rape, eating of babies and bestiality anyway.

Seriously this Loki fixation has ruined the original douchebag.

The Trickster.

It does seem the old god dragons could be the elven gods.  I also tend to agree that Solas may have caused the blights, but if he did it is unclear if that was part of his plan or an unexpected side effect.  

 

It seems far more likely (to me) that he was trying to release them from their slumber by gaining the powers of the Golden city, but that went horribly wrong.  I suppose till we get more information any guess is as good the rest though.  

 

I know I was super glad that the really well thought out and exhaustively detailed theory about Flemmeth being an ancient demon (the Formless one) turned out to be false.   It just goes to show that if you take everything to be some clue or to have a deeper meaning you can justify almost any theory.

That kind of ties into what the OP is saying. Killing the last two would mean no more blights. Blights only occur when an Archdemon is leading it, and if those last two are dead, it's not going to happen, so that would be a problem for his plan of letting it destroy everyone.

I'm actually liking this theory. 

[Sweawm]

He most certainly (but only probably) is. After defeating the Elven Gods, he'd probably moved onto eliminating the Old Gods after Tevinter swooped in to vulture off the remains of the Elven Empire and probably wanted to do away with the Maker/Creator in one fell swoop. Since he didn't have the ability to fight all the Old Gods at once, he tricked the Magister's into breaching the City on behalf of their gods. Result?

 

The Old Gods are banished deep underground and the Maker gets all huffy and turns his back on the world. Mission accomplished! Thedas has been successfully liberated from all God like beings, but now there's only the Darkspawn that jerk of a Maker has unleashed upon the world.

 

If Shantan (didn't spell that right, did I? The Elven companion of Andraste) is also Fan'Heral, it would explain why he helped, possibly as some form of small repayment for unleashing the Blight upon the world.

He specifically says that it might make things worse. Which I can understand; without the song of the Old Gods mostly keeping the darkspawn underground, they could surge up to the surface and just start attacking everyone. They might not be as well coordinated, but their sheer numbers could eventually swamp the rest of the world.

I think the Blight is related to the fade or beings/powers residing in it, that manifests in the physical world.

 

I also believe it was Solas that caused its existence, but not out of purpose. Simply because I think he caused or helped cause the Veil to be in the first place.

Some things worth noting-

 

- Fen'Harel is known as the lord of tricksters to the Dalish, largely because of his betrayal of the elven gods. To the people of Arlathan, he was the god of rebellion.

- For a guy who wants to 'kill all humans', he spends most of the game giving a lot of approval for helping them.

- Andruil [goddess of the hunt] almost definitely introduced the blight to Thedas. One day she grew bored of killing elves and surface monsters, so she went down into the void to look for things to hunt. When she came back she was mad, and a sickness plagued her lands. Mythal eventually intervened by beating her senseless and erasing her memories.

- Solas is stated by Flemeth and Abelas not to be the one who betrayed the world. 

 

I think its possible that Solas goaded Andruil into hunting in the void because he himself was never harmed by trespassing there. But I don't think he directly caused the blight.
