Specifically, I've never seen a good explanation by anyone as to how Leliana survived at the Temple of Sacred Ashes should the HoF have chosen to kill her. This is one possibility which does not conflict with anything else Bioware has given us.
Assuming there is any connection at all between the Elvhen Gods and Andraste (which is not crazy given the almost identical appearances and stories of Mythal/FenHarel, Flemeth/Solas and Andraste/Shartan: the ashes of 'Andraste' may hold some sort of immortality magic within them. This would work within the concepts Solas gives us at the end of Trespasser about ancient elvhen immortality before the fade. That could have easily revived her within dragon age lore and without presupposing some divine miracle or the existence of the maker. Again, this theory does not actually demand that you accept that Mythal is Andraste, that's another theory, simply that there may be some connection between Andraste and the ancient elves.
