At First I Liked The Fact That Emmrich Was Mentoring Dorian, But The More I Thought About It, The More

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.

He  has  always  been  what  I  most  feared  becoming.  Callous  and  uncaring,  his  arrogance  unchecked.  To  have  that  much  power  and  no  one  to  remind  him  that  he  could  be  wrong...   

Well,  he  had  you

And  I  suppose  I  had  you

Boop!

DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION EXTRACTS - SOLAS HEAD TURNAROUND

felassan things that kept me awake last night:

the 4,000 year time span between the veil and the masked empire during which felassan could only ever have spoken to solas in dreams when at all.

the years solas spent in the lighthouse with all those fucking notes from felassan around. "don't cause too much trouble before i get there."

the only time anyone says felassan's name out loud in the video games is when solas says it in an ancient arlathan memory

solas not painting felassan a mural in the lighthouse and only referring to him as "my agent," once, but still regretting what happened with him so much that it's one of the three big revenants powered by his regret, after the titans and mythal???? sir your repression

the ambiguity of "the betrayal of felassan" as the name of that revenant. whose betrayal of whom.

the heart of corruption/revenant dragon residing in the same place felassan used to go to get away from everything.

felassan calling it "our rebellion."

felassan being aware that he would die if he reported back to solas, seeing a plausible way he could run instead, and reporting back anyway.

the tone he takes during his death scene being so friendly and nonchalant, "what's the harm really" and "i suspect you'll hate this," like he's still trying to talk to solas like they are friends and equals even while he is aware solas is about to kill him.

felassan isn't even his real/original name and in one of his veilguard notes he refers to being felassan at all as being "solas's friend felassan" like that identity is inextricably tied to his friendship with solas, he cannot be felassan without also being solas's friend.

"and you are the slow arrow?" / "i hope so."

in conclusion,

i just noticed that lavellan's eyes well up with tears the moment solas starts sobbing

Harellan

looking at the pics in this post extra closely and um.... guys

this is joplin's version solas's ritual. first i thought oh how fun! the artifacts from inquisition were going to be relevant, heres a big one! and then i went. wait.

those headpieces look... familiar....

and then i counted the bodies around the table.

its 7, of course.

as he looks on in horror as the ritual goes wrong and it looks like... the blight interferes in some way? or just their spirits get released because rook interrupts?

so while ghilly and elgar'nan were always going to get released by solas's ritual, this literally shows solas using the evanuris bodies for the ritual. you can even see how the first is the most decayed and completely skeletal, while the 6th and 7th, edgar and ghilly, still have flesh.

so there was originally going to be some sort of explanation of what happened to the evanuris's bodies, and solas i guess was dragging them around to do blood magic on them. amazing. this is so much better than falling statues.
