Simplified Rules Below the Cut
“But you were always stubborn. Insubordinate, unmanageable. Even by Mythal’s reckoning.” ~ Elgar'nan.
God I just love this line because it reveals so much about Solas. It basically suggests that Solas was never someone that anyone could fully control - though it certainly sounds like some tried to. Calling him “insubordinate” and “unmanageable” is just who he’s always been.
What really stands out for me is “even by Mythal’s reckoning,” because as close as him and Mythal were, she never could fully rein him in. Can you imagine how many times Solas would have pissed Mythal off? So whatever their relationship was, it was never about him blindly following her. If anything, she’s being used as the benchmark here - if she couldn’t manage him, no one could.
It also makes his rebellion feel like the natural result of who he already was.
In Elgar’nan’s Reply, Solas is addressed as Spirit Speaker before Second to Mythal. This order suggests Solas was first and foremost known (and even respected) among the Evanuris for his connection to spirits and the Fade, and that this was his core identity even before his political and military role beside Mythal. “Second to Mythal” reads like a title, while “Spirit Speaker” reflects who he was. That it's Elgar’nan's people who lead with that title implies Solas’ authority wasn't solely tied to Mythal.
It also makes Elgar’nan’s act of destroying an emotion - and in doing so, killing the spirits tied to it - come across as a psychological attack against Solas and the rebellion. It’s a very deliberate way to try and break someone who has a deep connection to spirits, especially when that Spirit Speaker is actively leading a rebellion against you.
Now everyone's following Solas like he's the only one who can save them. He'll save them from the blight or die trying. He's not lying about that. Still fighting, last we heard. If it weren't for Solas, they'd already be dead.
This is how charismatic Solas is: while he leaves Rook behind in regret prison, Solas is out there rallying people to his side and they follow. I wonder if it pissed the companions off to see this happen. While they're trying everything to find Rook, Solas is just out there getting the people on his side.
Once again he steps back into roles he knows well - rebellion leader, companion to the Inquisitor - where he's rallying people, organizing resistance, and throwing himself directly into the fight. He's fighting with them, defending them - because Fen’Harel was a protector first (Trespasser) and I think that instinct is always in him because he does care.
And yes, he's using the situation and the people fighting with him to reach his own goal, it's what he does, but the dialogue says that without Solas, many of them would already be dead and Solas does truly fear the blight. “He’ll save them from the blight or die trying. He’s not lying about that.”
He'll die trying. God I love the paradox that is Solas.
I would have loved to see those first moments after Solas rolls up and starts fighting alongside everyone else. The people seeing this powerful being step up and fight with them. Here he is the war general - calling out orders, strategizing, putting together attack and defense plans, fortifying areas that need it.
I just get delighted with this part of the story, because clearly it didn't take long for people to start following him. And this was just in a couple weeks, one can imagine the scale of followers he inspired over centuries.
"Pride of The People"
Something about his expression made him feel very boyish to me. Plus the buzzcut, it's giving military youth.

These prompts cover a range of scenarios inspired from the Dragon Age universe, providing plenty of inspiration for dialogues and action scenes involving magic, politics, battles, and complex character dynamics.
"The Fade whispers to me. Can you hear it too, or am I alone in this nightmare?"
"Why do you trust a Qunari? Our loyalties are not so easily won."
"You wield power, but do you understand the responsibility that comes with it?"
"My people have walked these forests for centuries, and you dare claim them as your own?"
"If the Blight taught us anything, it's that sacrifice is inevitable. But how much are you willing to lose?"
"I didn't fight through the Fifth Blight just to die at the hands of a mage rebellion."
"How do you fight an enemy that knows your every fear and desire?"
"A templar without a cause is just as dangerous as a mage without control."
"You speak of honor, but when has that ever stopped a blade?"
"This is more than a battle for land; it's a battle for the soul of Thedas."
"You think the Inquisition can save us? Sometimes, I wonder if they’re only delaying the inevitable."
"Blood magic is a tool, nothing more. It's the wielder who determines its purpose."
"The Wardens have secrets—old, dangerous secrets. Are you ready to face them?"
"I've crossed paths with demons before. They aren't as charming as you might hope."
"To some, the Grey Wardens are heroes. To others, we're monsters. Which are we to you?"
"An elf who fights for humans is an elf who has forgotten their chains."
"The darkspawn aren’t the only threat lurking beneath the surface."
"You think being a noble makes you powerful? Power is earned, not inherited."
"Mages and templars at each other’s throats—again. Will we ever see peace?"
"The Qunari are coming. Whether you fight them or not is irrelevant."
"Spirits of the Fade don’t bargain. They take what they want."
"How many more innocents have to die before you see the folly of your cause?"
"I’ve fought for Ferelden, bled for Orlais, and now, here I stand, fighting for nothing."
"The Maker’s silence doesn’t mean he’s abandoned us. It means he’s watching."
"We Dalish have survived without your help. We don’t need you now."
"The Empress has spies everywhere. You think you can trust the people around you?"
"A rogue templar is still a templar. Do you understand what that means?"
"Do you think the taint can ever truly be cleansed?"
"You were the hero once. But now... who are you without the title?"
"An assassin who questions their orders doesn’t live very long."
"Your magic will either save us all or doom us. Choose wisely."
"The Chantry’s teachings are not the only truth. There’s more to the world than you can imagine."
"Corypheus was just the beginning. What’s coming next is far worse."
"You've never seen true horror until you’ve faced an archdemon."
"How do you justify killing for a cause that doesn’t seem to care about you?"
"You were a hero, once. What happened to you?"
"The line between justice and vengeance is thin. Which side are you on?"
"Every time I look into the Fade, I see something darker waiting."
"Power corrupts, but you already know that, don’t you?"
"Loyalty to the Inquisition means nothing if it isn’t reciprocated."
"Not all demons are evil, but are you willing to take that risk?"
"The veil between worlds is thinning. Something’s coming, and it’s hungry."
"Do you think you can survive the Fade unscathed?"
"I've seen more bloodshed in my lifetime than you can even imagine."
"If we fight the Qunari, we’ll lose. But if we don’t, we might lose even more."

"The Circle was never about control. It was about fear."
"You wield magic like a weapon, but do you understand its cost?"

zodiac: Aries
last movie i saw: .....The 1980s movie version of the Broadway play "Camelot"....though I am debating rewatching Pirates of Penzance (classic musicals are so good okay)
last thing i googled: "how to describe breathing during a panic attack" (this should tell you everything you need to know about my angst tendencies as a writer lol)
favorite musician: Uh uh uh.....fudge. Um. Billy Joel? An argument can also be made for Harry Chapin, Elton John, Blackmore's Night, Van Canto, and Beast in Black....depending on my mood.
song stuck in my head: "Call Down the Dragon" by Lilith Max but also "Shattered" by OAR
other blogs: A Lot actually, but primarily @livestosave & @nieithryn
do i get asks: Usually yes, but Tumblr does hate me, so it's never a bad thing to ask if I'm taking a Hot Minute. Though I often do. I won't take it personally to ask tho.
following: I've taken to being more selective with my following in recent years, mostly because my ex still stalks some of my old blogs. Still, if I follow you, I wanna interact!
amount of sleep: 5-7 hours, usually, but can work on less or more
lucky number: 27
what i'm wearing: Wouldn't you like to know? ;)
dream job: Eh...I don't really have one? Honestly, closest is actually what I currently do, but with less stress from management, which is home improvement sales. Getting folks their pretty and functional plumbing and appliances and lighting when they do remodels and the like.
dream trip: Wales. I really don't have a reason other than seeing beautiful photos and finding it so close to where I'm from in the Pacific Northwest. There's just something so soothing about the hills and the green and the ocean...
favorite food: *holds the mic so close* Steamed whole artichokes with steak and 1-2 pounds of steamer clams, please and thank you
play any instruments: A few, though all are woodwinds. I play flute decently, and for the longest time; I can play piano when my fingers cooperate, at least somewhat. I actually play pretty decent recorder (both the altos we're all amusingly familiar with and the tenors most of us aren't)
languages: English, a bit of German (3 years of it was not enough for the adhd), weirdly a LOT of Latin for someone who has never been formally taught. Used to know more ASL but it's been too long since I practiced.
random fact: For anyone who has not met me in other fandoms, be prepared for this blog to spiral wildly out of control...I regularly hoard over 30 muses per fandom, and I can already see that's starting to happen here lol.
describe yourself as aesthetic things: Spacecore, Fantasy Astronomy, Dark Fantasy, Gothic, Art Nouveau, Dark Academia, Whimsigoth, Dragoncore, Dark Romanticism, Dandyism (tragically, my main fashion style lmao). Generous helpings of Medieval Fantasy & Medievalcore, among others....
