[Fate of Thedas (SPOILERS)]

If as a elf, even an elf who is in a romance with Solas you select the "why must the world die?" dialogue option instead of "let me help you", you get the same response that all the other races get. Solas is not talking about restoring modern day elves, he's talking about restoring ancient elves. Unless this is a dialogue mess up of "Who's Mythal?" proportions, he does not see modern day elves as "people", not in the way that Mythal clearly does. Watch the youtube videos if you're not convinced or replay it yourself. He doesn't see modern day elves being restored, but killed like all the other races. People like Abelas will be the only ones left standing when he's done. Yes, he came close with a romanced Lavellan, but didn't quite make it in the end and I think one modern elf being "people" to him is still not enough to steer him from his course.

 

Of course all that is a moot point, because clearly it will go about as well as all his other plans have gone. :wink: And there is the issue of Mythal now inside Morrigan who will be making a comeback to show us just how much she has been playing with him. "As long as the music plays, we dance."

 

I doubt he'll need blood magic to enter the fade and tear down the veil, now that he has The Hand.

 

If that is true why is he waiting? And why gather the People to him if he's going to kill them all?

Argh, he makes my head hurt.

[Fate of Thedas (SPOILERS)]

The bloodshed might be all he needs to bring the veil down. It would just take some time, and for an immortal elf he has all the time he needs. It's the Evanuris that worries him. 'I have plans'. Yes, Solas, so why don't you divulge those plans to our Inquisitors like you did with the Veil? Stupid egg-head. I hope he isn't going to try to pull some Aslan s#*! or take them down with him. My Lavellan would have some s#*! to say about that.

I posted this with a screenshot in the gallery outside of the forums but am moving it here. YES it does contain spoilers for the Trespasser DLC along with a lot of analytical eyeing of events over the course of the game and dlc's.

 

If you’re reading this you love Solas. I know I love the egg-headed bastard. Or if you don’t love Solas the title caught your attention. Our ancient elf has good intentions for his people, but suffers from a near sightedness that seems to blind him to the fate of his people in the semi close future. What he is planning to do may destroy more than just the current world of Thedas, it may destroy his people.These thoughts came about while I daydreamed about my Inquisitor speaking to Solas about his folly.

It latched onto my brain and would not let go as I pondered the realistic reactions of Thedas and the elvhenan to these drastic changes that Fen’harel wants to bring about. The fate I saw was not a happy one and makes the sundering of the Veil all the more dangerous. It is now my head-canon.

The ones to be affected the most would be the elvhen. A people that for two millennia have been stepped on, abused, used, usurped and betrayed; with lifespans equal to humans and mages random in their society would suddenly find their entire world, their entire culture, in upheaval. The impact of their almost immortal lifespans would sink in slowly, however the resurgence of magic among all elves would be felt immediately. Dalish and City Elves would have the means of overwhelming anyone who dared to try and force them back into servitude. Most amongst the Elvhen would want retribution for the suffering of their people, the power of their magic filling their head with a sense of godhood. City elves and most Dalish would have no training in controlling this newfound power and those already mages would be overwhelmed. Elves would fracture into groups: those wanting revenge, those confused and scared, and those who want nothing to do with the magic at all.

For the rest of Thedas the cities that housed a Circle would suffer catastrophic damage: Kinloch Hold, White Spire, Pemberton, Minrathous, etc. So much magical energy is stored in the Circles in the forms of artifacts, stable with the Veil in place. The might stored there would become unstable and explode, causing widespread death. Chaos would consume the kingdoms with everything in shambles; armies scattered, trade lines disrupted, a sudden enemy in the Elvhenan inside their lands and some seeking
revenge.

This would pale in comparison to the destruction that would come forth from the Qunari. Their elvhen converts would be forced into being Saarebas, or outright killed. Once the Qunari had purged the elves they would turn their sights on the mainland. The Viddasala’s planned attack on the South would be nothing compared to the Army that would take advantage of the turmoil to sweep across the lands. So many would be slaughtered, the human kingdoms scrambling to defend themselves and the elves would be key targets.

The Qunari would want Fen’harels’ head if he still lived.

I cannot see the future of Thedas being a pretty one. There would be a blood bath of extreme proportions staining the soil of the land.

 

Extra thoughts: Does the Veil encompass all of the world Thedas resides in or would it have a gradual end to it?

 

 

Extra Extra thoughts: I just realized that I forgot something else that he said that would have an effect on the future of Thedas.

He says that the world is colorless and full of Tranquil. The people of Thedas still have emotions, but what were they like before the Veil then? Would these feelings be doubled, or tripled, with the Veil torn down? Such a sudden strength of ones emotions would likely cause insanity as no one is used to dealing with them in such a force.

Is this also why Solas fell for Lavellan so deeply in such a short time? (I think they said the game branches over 3 years before Trespasser) This could also be why he's so manic on bringing back the past. His own emotions are stunted, or out of control next to a Thedosian, he could be being driven insane by it.

 

 

Extra Extra Extra thoughts: Unless... one of the ways to weaken the Veil that we already know about is through blood shed, through war, where spirits gather close to such spots and weaken the barrier. We've seen it in the games, the old Warden Keep in Origins, Ostagar, the Brecilian Forest, etc. A great war was to have been fought in the Brecilian Forest before humans ever settled there.

And Solas is collecting the elvhenan to him (as seen in the end game slides). Is he planning on a war? Blood spilt to weaken the veil enough that the power he's accumulated thus far can achieve his plans? He waged war on the Evanuris with freed slaves before the construction of the veil. What if part of the Veil's birth was widespread blood magic from battlefields?

Starting a war of elves vs. humans/qunari would weaken the Veil, give the power of blood (which he has said is just another form of working magic with no inherently evil base! ) to supplement what he has already. And if Lavellan knew... she could stop him in his tracks. Then Inquisitor still holds sway in nations and could rally an army while he gathers his, taking away the advantage of surprise.

 

 

DON'T FORGET: Patrick Weekes says there is HOPE for Solavellan!

[Blindsighted Quest Glitch/Bug]

So I worked my way through The Thieves' Guild main quests and just got done with Trinity Restored. Karliah and Brynjolf will speak with me about going to the Dwarven Ruins but I can't speak to Brynjolf about about becoming a Nightingale, or Mercer. The quest also does not show up in my logs. I've looked everywhere online but haven't found anything about this, only glitches and bugs about the final room in Blindsighted.
