This is much better than the final version too. It goes more into why Solas is even doing this and Rook feels less like a bus driver.
URGENT!!!!! can anyone find the image from the art book of an inquisitor's gloved hand reaching out to pet a small dread wolf's snout???? i can see it so clearly in my mind but cant find it in my tags and @kraujuota must witness it

I'm so normal about them
At first I liked the fact that Emmrich was mentoring Dorian, but the more I thought about it, the more questions I had.
Dorian: My family once took me to Nevarra, Cassandra. Cassandra: You undoubtedly saw more of it than I ever did. Dorian: I was young, and all I wanted to do was visit a necropolis. I was desperate. Cassandra: They're dark. And full of undead. And the smell of stale incense still makes me want to vomit. Dorian: Ah. There goes that childhood fantasy. ─────── Dorian: So tell me this: are Nevarran cities of the dead actually filled with undead? Cassandra: Of course. The Mortalitasi lure spirits to possess every corpse buried there. Dorian: And then what? Let them… wander around willy-nilly? Cassandra: Only in the abandoned areas. The rest are sealed up in their tombs, I suppose. Dorian: Forever? I almost feel bad for them. Cassandra: After a time, the moaning grates on the nerves. Trust me.
Dorian has never been in a necropolis, he doesn't even know what it looks like, which is why he sounds disappointed after Cassandra's description, and he doesn't know what the Mortalitasi actually do, but in DATV it turned out that he was taught necromancy at the Grand Necropolis.
I'm fully aware that it was only made up to connect Emmrich with him and has no deep meaning but that’s the problem. Any new piece of lore should not contradict to established story. Dorian's story is well thought out, so the careless addition of details just for the sake of a new character is not a good thing, and in my opinion is even disrespectful.
It may seem unimportant, but it defines DATV. Let's add some facts that contradict the old character lore for the sake of a few cute moments.
Veilguard spoilers.
I've just noticed that the Fen'Harel statues of the place where you meet Mythal's fragment, are beheaded. I wonder if it was Mythal herself who did it, mad at Solas.
did I spend merely an hour just doing nothing during the fights just to take screenshots of Solas?
yes.

Just realized one of the rituals in The Temple of Mythal has Fen’Harel statues all over it. and it’s the most complicated one.
Solas, you ass. That gate trips me up every time. It’s the only puzzle I can never complete on the first run.
