These are purely my own thoughts, I don't claim to have any secret insight into Bioware's plans.

 

It's pretty well accepted that the next installment of the Dragon Age series will involve Solas and the elven gods. I also believe it will heavily involve the Inquisitor, though not as the main character. I believe that our Inquisition will serve as the antagonist. Thinking of Solas' final words to our character as he kneels over the shattered elven orb, "it was not supposed to happen like this. No matter what comes, I want you to know that I will always respect you", they come off as pretty ominous. When he kills Flemeth and we discover that he is actually the Dread Wolf, he sets himself up as likely being the big bad in the next game.

 

What's important to remember, though, is that Solas isn't Fen'Harel. Fen'Harel is possessing Solas, like Mythal possessed Flemeth. That distinction opens up intriguing possibilities.

 

I think Fen'Harel's goal is to undo the mistake he made a thousand years ago: sealing the elven gods away. He's seen what the absence of all that magic has done to his people. The elven gods may have been wicked and tyrannical, as it is suggested in all of those codex entries about them in the Temple of Mythal, but their power was necessary for his people to flourish. He wanted to undo it with the Orb he gave Corypheus, but he was too weak. He needed Corypheus to unlock it's power. He joined the Inquisition to get it back, but it was destroyed. So how will he undo the millennia-old bond he placed on the Elven gods? The only way would be to use the anchor. He wouldn't risk asking us to do this for him. So he'll take the choice away from us by possessing our bodies.

 

I suspect this will be done in the final DLC for Inquisition. Solas will send us a letter, claiming he's found some new threat and that he needs our help. We'll go to him, either in friendship or anger at his disappearance, and he'll ambush us. We'll resist, but be unable to stop him. The next game will take place in Tevinter, where our new character will strive to ward off a new Exalted March, led by our possessed Inquisitor. The march will ostensibly be in retaliation for the acts of the Venatori. But in truth, Fen'harel's goal will be sunken Arlathan, the site of the binding ritual he performed so long ago.

 

Thoughts?

Yes I believe so ..although the Solas continuation will be ( i hope ) a dlc and not DA4 ( please bioware don't drag this on to DA4) by now I think and hope its safe to assume what the solas dlc will be about being possessed by Fen'Harel and that's where I believe it will be tough for the people who romanced solas, I'm pretty sure he will become a bad guy wether he meant it or not ... he reminds me a bit of Anders in the sense that he betrayed and lied to "us" so ... that's my thoughts anyway, Inquisitor will have to battle Fen'Harel and which could mean losing Solas forever as a result ..I really can't wait for the dlc to drop.

Is there any reason to think Solas is only possessed by Fen'Harel?

His post game tarot card is pretty clear.

That's something I certainly wouldn't want to happen. The plot of Solas and the elven gods should either be solved through DLC or as a secondary plot in future games. It shouldn't be the focus of a whole new game. There are far better ways to continue the series.

A whole game dedicated to filthy elves and their heathen gods? Ugh, I hope not.

I don't know. A giant titan fight a giant great dragon?

That still wouldn't necessarily imply that Solas is just a host. It could just mean Solas is the image Fen'Harel projects to the rest of the world.

Makes sense for a final DAI DLC, kinda like the length that Awakening was in DAO. Don't know about the next installment though, kinda leading towards to being Tevinter vs. Qunari War centered. Have no idea how the different races/classes will all be involved with that going forward though. Don't think we'll be getting individual race origin stories. How is playing a Qunari but not being part of the Qunari Army going to make sense...I mean useless you are a Serbass(sp).

Something you said caught my eye so I'll just touch on that. You said the inquisitor would be the main antagonist in the next game, and, if true, would be one of the coolest things bioware could do. Imagine spending this whole game doing right but something happens and the world turns against thw inquisition. So u spend the whole game trying to kill the character that you made but they end up pulling a fable 3 on your ass. God that would be amazeballs

Why would he need to declare war on the Imperium to get to Arlathan? Wouldn't it be better if he remained in his current body or possessed some other unknown and then head north to Arlathan? Declaring war on one of thedas's strongest nations seems like the nuclear option

Pretty sure Solas is, and always was, Fen'harel himself. If you listen to him, he only lies when backed into a corner. So, he really is from an ancient village. And then there's that "I Am the One" song, which implies its narrator hasn't died since the fall of the elven empire. That, to me, is a huge hint.

Solas may or may not be the future antagonist. Masked Empire might be a good place to look...

There are several things that could be a base for a future DLC or installment of the saga.

- Something is going on in Weisshaupt linked to the warden

- Solas is an elven God (though I don't think he is 100% bad, he just made a huge mistake with the orb and several hints in the codex imply that Fen'Harel might now actually be bad and something else happened)... and there is also the theory about Sera that could make the elven god part in a future game more consistent.

I disagree. Given what we learned about Flemythal, Corypheus and what we know of Archdemons, there seems to be a trend going on with soul transference and physical hosts. Flemythal claims that the host she bonds with needs to be a willing participant for the transference to be successful. This would be a logical statement given what we know of The Archdemon transferring his essence into another darkspawn should he fall (given they are all linked via a type of hivemind/symbiosis with the Archdemon and follow him without question, making every vessel a willing one). It also then makes sense that a Warden (and unwilling candidate) would destroy (and be destroyed) by the Archdemon's essence once it was unwillingly transferred into the Warden's body.

 

Given what I believe the veil was created for (I believe it was created by Solas and Mythal with the help of their Elvhen Orb Foci) and the fact that Fen'Harel is stated to have woken up recently (from Uthenera), I would contend that Solas met him in The Fade. I believe Solas to be a willing vessel, much like Flemeth. I also believe the stories he's told us (the inquisitor) and his humble origins are the truth, just not the whole truth.
 

Lelianna: "But he did give the name of the village where he grew up, noting that it was small, unlikely to appear on any map."

 

Lelianna: "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"

So as stated above, I believe Solas (or whatever his name was at the time) encountered Fen'Harel during his time exploring The Fade. He must have been in agreement with Fen'Harel and gave his body willingly. Given the conversation between SolaFen and FleMythal (When SolaFen explains that he didn't have enough power to unlock the Elvhen orb given his long slumber and recent awakening), I'm guessing the village he said he was born in was simply misdirection and that Solas is not in fact centuries old.  I also say this because Mythal's vessel (Flemeth) is growing quite old physically and has already lived centuries. She needs willing replacements in order to sustain herself. If centuries mean nothing to Fen'Harel and Mythal however, than a long slumber might be millenia and being awake for a few centuries might be a recent awakening. I might be stretching it, but even if that was the case then SolaFen should also look as old as FleMythal does. Since that's not the case, I'll assume Solas was lying about his birth place and he bonded with Fen'Harel recently. If I had to guess, I'd argue that the location was in fact a place he visited while in the Fade, which is probably where he found it's name.

 

Also this conversation between Cole and Solas reinforces my belief that Fen'Harel's essence bonded with Solas (which became SolaFen)

 

Cole: "He hurts, an old pain from before when everything sang the same" (before the veil?)

 

Cole: "You're real, and it means everyone could be real. It changes everything. But it can't."

 

(I think this is a reference to him being physically present after the veil was created, as in bonded with Solas like FleMythal. With this knowledge, he could help his brethren do the same, however, if he does, then things will become what they were and Fen'Harel can't allow that, despite the love he holds for his kin. This potentially adds weight to my theory about the spirit/physical seperation of the Pantheon)

 

Cole: They sleep, masked in a mirror, hiding, hurting and to wake them... (Gasp) where did it go?

 

Solas: I apologize, Cole. That is not a pain you can heal.

 

(Cole refers to the Elvhen gods, masking or masked from their true aspects in an eluvian, sleeping and suffering. When he says where did it go, he refers to Solas' pain which Solas in turn confirms by stating that Cole cannot heal it. This is quite interesting. It would seem that the Elvhen god's might not be imprisoned in the Golden city, as I suspect, but rather in a realm reached only through an eluvian).

 

Anyways, just a small part of my theories given what we know so far.
