they truly could not have had him sitting any lower in that chair if they tried and yes I've seen what Cullen and Dorian do to each other off screen during the chess scene

I am a sucker for a smirk. Always have been.

These looks make me want to tear into Solas in the most unholy of ways.

I have never doubted that Solas can absolutely be seductive when he wants. It is all part of his intensity. So, while Solas is in for it in the Fade, so is Asena.

Look. \/

At. \/

Him.\/

Imma need to pray.

Bonus - This isn't a smirk, but the way he lifted his head high here when looking at his Vhenan... only to bow it low but a moment later. Yeah, this one also makes me want to wage war. Against his lips.

To the victor, the spoils. <3

It has been two decades but I just found out that the female elf's race card is mirroring to Solas Romance card.

Both drawings are drawn in the same body scale and when move female elf card to left or right side of Solas's card, their details are fit like a glove.

For left side

Their hands touch each other faces at eye level.

Golden leaves fully cover the female elf's right ear.

The glowing tree on her hand has line art shaped like Solas's left ear.

Solas's left hand placed on the female elf's left knee that resting on his leg.

For right side

Their height difference is similar to them in-game.

Solas's fingers stay at the same position of lower branches of the glowing tree.

Solas's left hand placed on the female elf's hip.

They look like walking side by side naturally.

From all the choices, They choose to draw Solas romance card reflecting the elf card as if he doesn't have a choice but to fall for an unknown elf from the world he going to sacrifice.

My life has never been bitterer since I shipped them ;)

I think it is important to remember, when sifting through lore for facts and fic reasons, that the memories of Solas' regrets we see in the Lighthouse are not going to be the Exact Truth about what happened during these events.

This is how HE remembers those things happening. And memories are not always reliable narrators. In DAI, Solas gives us the example of the memories he witnessed at Ostagar, about Loghain as both the power-mad villain, and the veteran commander trying to save his troops from needless death. And they are both true for the people who lived those experiences. But they don't tell you what ACTUALLY happened.

Solas is dragging around thousands of years worth of regrets and mistakes. He focuses a lot of blame on himself, even beyond what was actually his fault. And he is reluctant to admit that Mythal was anything other than 'The Good Evanuris.'

The most obvious example is the last panel, where he kills Flemeth. The conversation that Rook and Co. hear is NOT the one that happened. Mythal did not argue for the fate of the world. She didn't ask him not to bring down the Veil. She made no protest beyond saying that he shouldn't have let Corypheus find his orb. She did not sound indignant or angry with him at all. She LET him take her power, even knowing it would kill her. (which was why I was honestly expecting her to have some Big Plan where like...her power let her take control of him and even if you talked him down, she would force him to tear open the Veil herself, but...whomp whomp)

Flemythal had the same amount of power that Solas had in Trespasser, and Solas' magic at the time was about the same as any talented mage of the modern age. She could have wiped the floor with him. She could have called a dragon or turned him into stone.

He didn't take her life, she gave it to him. She forgave him, and then she died to give him what he wanted.

And oh boy, that is so so SO much worse than her still being angry and arguing with him and telling him he was wrong. He does not know how to handle that At All.

It's also interesting because that is the only memory where Mythal DOES sound sharp with him. Every other time she is trying to talk him into something and he is the one arguing against it, she is remembered as being calm and rational and patient. Soft-spoken and almost motherly. Which...after meeting the fragment in the Crossroads, I kind of doubt was her typical MO. Even Morrigan says that she is 'prickly.'

Solas remembers her as kinder than she was before her death, because grief softens a lot of rough edges when we love someone. And afterwards, he thinks of her as someone who is still angry with him. Who will never forgive him. Because he is still angry at himself for 'getting her killed' the first time.

Mythal herself says that these memories are things he has 'cultivated like a tree reaching for the sun.' He has twisted these memories within himself into the shapes that they are, regardless of 'truth.'

That is NOT to say that he is absolved of guilt for the things we saw in those regrets! Or even that he's less guilty! But perhaps more along the lines of... 'It's important to remember that Solas was not the only person involved in a lot of these events, and therefore is likely not the only person blame should fall on.' However, Pride that he is, Solas is the one who remembers all of these things as being entirely his fault.

A hidden Solas mural in Veilguard!

This one hit me right in the Solavellan feels because it depicts the ending of Trespasser. It can be found in the catacombs of Minrathous, after completing the mission Hidden Hoard.

My thoughts on Illario and Zara Renata.

Possible spoiler for Lucanis' companion questline below!

I haven't seen anyone else talking about this, but I believe Illario and Zara were lovers.

1. We know the word "amatus" is a Tevine term of endearment, likely similar to "my beloved". Zara Renata is a Magister from Tevinter.

2. In one of the bedrooms in Villa Dellamorte, you find a half-charred note in a fireplace that is addressed to Illario. The writer is unknown, but they refer to him as "amatus".

3. In Bloodbath, Illario makes a sudden appearance inside the bath chamber. When Zara turns and sees him, she only manages to get out, "Amat-" before Illario kills her.

4. When Emmrich interviews her corpse, she calls Illario "amatus" and claims that he "fooled us both". One could take that to mean that Illario fooled her into thinking he was in love with her and he fooled Lucanis into thinking he had no idea what happened to him.

Very interesting, no?
