absolutely gorgeous !!!
Sun comin' up on a dream come 'round One hundred years from the empire now
Martyrs of our revolution Their spinning caused the earth to shake The problem brought its own solution They power now the world we've made
After all, darlin', I wouldn't sell the world For all the gold or sterling If it falls, I would hold on for all it's worth The future's so bright it's burnin'

Happy new year from @felassan and Solas!
This is exactly how I remember the scene now.
If I had to pick one idea and one idea only from the artbook cut materials to be realized in the end product, I would choose Reva, Solas's "bad cop" right hand. I had to sketch them, I love the idea of Reva literally burning away their vallaslin with flame so much.
Reva's backstory:
Reva with the wolf:
Reva's robe/design (I think the one we get in-game can still be a reference to them):
... Solas, why are your right hands so hot, I hate it here.
Now I want Reva and Felassan to meet, and Rook, of course.

I saw a post a while ago talking about how Varric ended up "winning" against Solas, and really liked it. I've been revisiting a lot of Inquisition dialogue lately and found perhaps my favorite conversation between the two when it comes to highlighting their ideological differences. It also foreshadows why Varric "wins" at the end of Veilguard (within the confines of the endgame choices we're given) even in death.
The crux of it: Varric lives in a world in which his very existence is an act of resistance, while Solas sees resistance as a trial that must be endured to get desired results.
As always, once I get started I'm sure this will be very long, but I love that we got the chance to see a very rare instance in which Solas concedes a point to one of his companions.
Thank you for this article! This is my favorite reading on the two characters now!!!
DAI was a long time ago, I almost forgot about their conversations. Now that I've been reminded so beautifully by your article, everything hurts a whole lot better!

Felassan related rambles vol.1
My take on the whole "his back, turned" ending for Felassan in the Masked Empire: he apparently knew he would die from his last attempt to persuade his friend, he did it anyway, like Varric. Solas killing Felassan mid-sentence, in my opinion, is because he simply couldn't risk actually being persuaded, he dared not to listen to another word of Felassan's speech, or everything they had done, the loss of everyone who had ever mattered to him, would be in vain.
I don't think he was so furious that he must kill the betrayer to their cause on the spot, not to mention Felassan was among his oldest friends and comrades if not his most valued one. But I think he was afraid.
Remember what Emmerich said before Rook's final battle? Solas is essentially a spirit, and a spirit can't resist the yearning for reflection. Rook in one (my favorite) ending was able to outwit Solas, leading Solas to admit that he was not above-it-all, not a god, but a fool who finally met his match, his reflection. (This paragraph is also my answer to the "how did Emmerich helped by being a fade expert" question I've seen among datv discussions, I would say he helped greatly simply by caring the spirits and understanding them.)
And the last thing Felassan was about to say was how Briala reminds him of Solas. Should the mirror be shattered, the reflections will be no more.

I'm really late to the fandom, my first time watch-through (and later read-through) of the story was when I was 24. So I never really had an innocent child's take on the whole story, I just see metaphors mashed up together. In the end, I associate him with Judas a lot. For the time being, I can only record some fragments as to why I have such association. This post is WIP.
In one version of the Bible's translation, after Judas returned the 30 silver pieces to the chief priests and elders out of regret, the chief priests used the silver to buy the potter’s field for burying strangers. And in another version, Judas bought the potter’s field himself, and instead of hanging, which is the most common-known version of his suicide, he basically dropped dead on the field, guts bursting out.
I don't think I'm trying to prove that there are direct Biblical inspiration for the characters, I'm sure someone has done better work on that. But the "would you feed my lamb/sheep" question that Jesus asks Peter 3 times when he reinstates Peter just really bugs me this whole time whenever I remembered Sev said "Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter...". To me the obvious metaphor here is a lamb (for sacrifice and salvation), even though he didn't choose the more suitable word to represent Harry because he was bitter and didn't know the whole plan.
