He tricks no one. He helped Inquisition to fix mistake he made. No one forcing Morrigan to drink only her overconfidence. Solas tricked Cory? this is exactly opposite his plan failed. Flemeth can trick anyone she wants she is Hera of Elven pantheon, somehow she knows stuff before it happens. She told king Maric blight will happen before it happened, She told Loghain will betray and it was true. You aceptink that Solas is smarter then Flemeth like its a fact then actually it's opposite.
You're kidding right?

"Inquisitor,
Despite my efforts, I have been unable to locate Solas. From the site of your battle withCorypheus, he was last seen headed west, still distraught over the destruction of the orbCorypheus carried. From there he disappeared, evading my people so easily and so completely that I am forced to wonder how much he knew about them.
When Solas initially approached the Inquisition and offered aid, I questioned him extensively about his background and history. He was evasive, but he did give the name of the village where he grew up, noting that it was small, unlikely to appear on any map.
I hate loose ends, so I kept a few of my agents searching, to verify his story. They recently located the village... or what remains of it. It is a ruin, as it has been for centuries, its name preserved only in degraded form in Ancient Tevinter mysteries. Whoever Solas truly is, wherever he came from, he has deceived us from the very start.
I apologize for not investigating this more thoroughly while Solas was here. He was clearly helping us, and other matters were of greater urgency, but it was an oversight nevertheless, given how little he shared with us. It is not clear what his plans are, if any, but I will continue to search.

He tricked everyone in the inquisition. Heck, right now no one knows he's the one responsible for giving the orb to Cory. he does not lie but he does trick with half truths and reflective responses with everything but the source of his info. and yes, he tricked Cory. The only reason his planned fail because the inquisitor got involved, not because Cory saw through it and worked around it.
