The concept artist for DA:I just posted these very good (and high quality) murals and Tarot cards from Trespasser and Jaws of Hakkon http://nthornborrow....w-tarot-cards-i
Spoilered due to size
So I'm terrible at art and interpretation of it. Anybody have a perspective into what is going on in each one? 1st one is obv him removing slave markings, are those two enuvaris behind him? And the last one looks like a titan being destroyed, but it seems to show Solas helping in this endeavor? Whereas posterity gives Elgarnan, I believe, credit for killing a Titan.
Thank you for posting these!
I wonder what is going on with all those eyes.
I don't know why there's two elves when I pretty sure one of them is Solas (probably the one with glowing orb). Then who is the other one? Is there two Solases? (Maker preserve me if so 
)

1st: I don't think the two bare faced elves behind what appear to be Solas are not enuvaris as they were his enemies so to speak. Probably freed elves and followers of Fen'Harel.
2nd: Looks like a depiction of Solas' being from a spirit as an elf. The three eyes on the giant wolf look like a spirit to me.
3rd: Creation of the Veil? Using his orb and 7 artifacts that act as a barrier? Who is that other elf?
4th: Blue lines that stretch out from the broken Titan is obviously lyrium, but why is the Titan cut in half like that? And what's with its heart shooting upward? And who is that second elf?

...What if the orb in made out of a titan heart?

That's an idea I haven't thought of. And give the Evanuris enough reason to go to war beside fighting for lyrium as resource. Titans could be useful as a whole, not just their blood.

The third one clearly documents the ancient elves' love of onions

The other elf in black may be Mythal.
I hope they keep up this art theme in the next game, It'd be a shame to loose it its just so beautiful!
I'm pretty sure it was Mythal that killed the Titan. That would be her on the right, and the symbol in her hands matches the symbol that is tearing the titan in half, although that symbol may represent a foci.
The two elves behind Solas in the first mural are freed slaves that have had their markings removed already.
Not sure about the second one, but it appears that the point is to draw attention to the three eyes. It could be showing that Solas is/was a spirit, or is possessed like Wynn or Anders were.
The third one I have no idea. The one on the right could be Mythal, as the symbol matches the Titan-killing symbol in the bottom mural, but I think it's more likely that that symbol represents foci. It looks like they're sealing something, could this be Solas creating the Veil? I'm sure there's a codex entry about something with a lot of eyes, but I don't really remember it.
Food for thought, Cole says Solas exists on "both sides". I think it was he is "real" in the fade and out of it. The picture with the Titan, and the two elves on either side. If you look closely, one side looks very fade-like. The other looks like it has mountains on it.
I think they're the stories of why he decided to make the veil. Is that the order we see them in? I don't remember and don't have a way to play it and find out.
Are those eluvians in the third mural? Maybe the circles with wavy lines are location indicators. Fourteen flowers? Have we seen those flowers before? The only flower I can think of that somewhat resembles those is embrium.

If they are Eluvians, there are enough for the Elven Gods. If we take out Mythal and Fen'harel, we are left with 7.
Elgar'nan, June, Falon'din, Ghilan'nain, Dirthamen, Andruil and Sylaise. Am i missing one? I feel like i'm missing one
If you look closely, one side looks very fade-like. The other looks like it has mountains on it.
I'll be curious and playful:
Yes, and the yellow hand could be raised in celebration of a creation. The gold/yellow formed around the halo is imperfect, that bit of grey: intentional. The elf on the right seems almost protruding from below as if rising out of the earth. A small bit of the green if the fade is connected to this elf on the right.
The green stuff if the fade blackens at the head of the left elf forming imagery of horns, his clothing has folds the other doesn't. There is something about the folds like the dread wolf above slightly folded in darkness. The folds are more natural away from the center. The fist could be focus.
Triangles, 3, wisdom, could also be creation, destruction, preservation.
There is too much here and I tire of playing.
Oh fudge, I just noticed something about the third image. So in the image there are three...embedded(?) circles. In the smallest circle is the sun. In the circle surrounding that circle is a bunch of eyes on either feathers or tentacles. In the circle surrounding that circle are a bunch of dots (well actually they look vaguely like a human torso and head with no legs, so spirits maybe?) and what I just noticed is a building or Temple or city behind the dots. The Oil City perhaps?
Also within each half smaller circle in what which some have said maybe eluvians are parts of the oil city, maybe. The trinity remains though, three are golden with red outlines blocked by the two elves, the third though. That thing in the middle reminds me of a peacock, I may have seen something like this before. A weird, disgusting peacock if so.
I don't want to play, but I'm still curious.

I can't be sure. I think they are
Well, I'm off to work hopefully more will come to play. Perhaps this will spark something and I could return with curiosity to thing I could not see.
The second one: A dreaded path followed by a dreaded wolf. Mind, body, spirit. A spirit full of pride oversteps in the mind. The body almost trips, maybe it was gliding all along. It is short sighted, the lines formed around the circle which forms around the eyes are longer looking back and the opposite looking forward. The red triangle and the faded yellow at least it is still illuminated in some spots.
O solas.
I understand the reason why, probably due to being able to find out as a female elf the true meaning of the face markings, but it is strange that the Inquisitor would just assume that the first mural is Solas removing the markings. An otherwise uninformed person could just as well see that he is putting them on instead.
Anyone think there's anything connecting the 3 eyed wolf with
I mean, if you looked at the pride demon from the side...
HOLY CRAP!!!! Good catch!
Especially considering the meaning of the name Solas.
I thought the middle things were spider eyes.Also within each half smaller circle in what which some have said maybe eluvians are parts of the oil city, maybe.
