I roamed around OOB in Trespasser the other day and I noticed that when I pressed my face right up to the Eluvian Solas passes through at the end of Trespasser, you can see it's destination - The Well of Sorrows.
I traveled OOB in the Well of Sorrows to confirm it was the same area.
Was this a hint?
Was Solas perhaps traveling there to track down Abelas and the rest of the Ancient Elves who left there?
This eluvian is looking at the broken eluvian at the former Well of Sorrows through another eluvian that we didn't notice when we were there? weird.

When I roamed OOB in the Well area, I noticed they were all broken...
... at least the ones we can see.
Oooo...maybe its another Well?
How do you OOB? I wanna go.

I'm fairly certain it's the same Well - the draping root, even the patches of grass in the well itself line up.
To get OOB - I recently found a PC trainer that allows you to make really big jumps (actually, really awkward semi-flying jumps) that lets me get over invisible barriers. It can be tricky though, as you will still insta-die if you fall too far.
Cool. Thanks.
I don't remember exactly where I got the one I'm using (I've tried a whole bunch...), but if you're on a PC it shouldn't be hard to track it down with a google search.

I saw there are two mods that reduce and fully nullify fall damage. 
Tho I haven't tried them, so no idea how they are. 
I wonder what does he have to gain to go back to Mythal's temple. Granted, there are Mythal's sentinels that he could recruit.
Also, if one is powerful enough, it seems you can lead an Eluvian to go anywhere so long as you have the coordinates kinda like what we see with Kieran and Flemeth.
Ooo... if this mod can nullify the auto-death from large falls this will be HUGELY HELPFUL as that is the #1 limitation of the trainer.
Thanks Gilli-chan!!
You're welcome
I was thinking of getting one of those mods too, but atm I don't have a use for them. 
Question Hrungr. Is the image on the final eluvian just a generic image for all eluvians?
I seem to recall Morrigan's eluvian having at least a similar picture.
That's a good question. It's hard to tell... her mirror is hugely distorted. Maybe?
Oh, also, the Temple of Mythal is swarming with Inquisition and Chantry personnel. There's no way Solas would go there. And Leliana states in the final scene that her agents have found nothing. Now, I know Leliana is incompetent, but I think even she would have enough sense to check the Temple of Mythal.
If that is where Solas goes, it's two years after we've been there and we may not necessarily have a presence there anymore. And if we did, it's right at the end of the game so any encounters with our people may not have been mentioned.

Abelas is coming back!
Perhaps a silly question since I haven't delved into OOB at all, but can't it simply be a way to efficiently use game assets? Areas usually consists of same-size squares, and this could just be a way to fill out an unused space. Sorry if I ruin someone's fantasies...
I'm thinking this might be the case too. When dealing with things that the player may never see, they usually don't bother to put in such detail. Only areas that were scrapped mid-development and things walled off last minuet tend to have any significant detail, but everything else is either base textures or empty copy-pasted structures that are only there for the scenery. It is most likely their default 'active eluvian glass' asset that they decided to reuse.
But if it was intentional, I do have to wonder why he would bother to go back at all. The Inquisition and its allies have likely picked it clean by now, and it is very likely that the Sentinels have moved on ever since their purpose (protecting the Well of Sorrows) was taken from them. At this point in time, the Temple of Mythal is no better than any other ruin aside from a few tidbits that are of academic interest.
Game assets is always my first thought when I see things like this.Perhaps a silly question since I haven't delved into OOB at all, but can't it simply be a way to efficiently use game assets?

If its not just asset reuse then its probably another Well like location, as even if there is longer an inquisition presence at the the Temple of Mythal, there is bound to be some kind of archaeological expedition still present to study the temple.
