For TMI Tuesday and your Inquisitors, what do they think of Solas after Trespasser? Do they have any plans for after things settle down?
Ohhhhhhoooo thank you for this ask!! Believe me I have some things about this.
Calliope is absolutely belligerent at first, she loses her arm, finds out her egg is the fucking dread wolf and holy shit it’s just a bad time. She tries activating any eluvian she finds because Creators help her she’ll save him at any cost, even her own life. Solas is the love of her life and she’s scared but her view will never change because she sees the good in him. Once things settle from that she moves to Kirkwall and helps the city guard, becoming a Red Jenny to help out the little people. After whatever happens in DA 4 she’ll settle down with Solas for sure.
Elessar, oh Elessar. ELESSAR IS PISSED. He’s so angry but also conflicted because if Solas had such a solid reason for shutting the ‘gods’ away then it should be okay, but the whole tearing the world apart, and you know, HURTING HIS TWIN SISTER. He is so fucking mad. Dorian helps soothe his nerves but it was so close for Elessar that he almost sucker punched that goddamn egg. He eventually snuck into Tevinter with Dorian and worked on the downlow to look for spies from Fen'harel. If he could even be called that. It took a long time for him to stop snarling about that name.
Ari is scared to say the least, not for himself but for Solas. Solas was a teacher and a confidant to him through his entire time in the Inquisition, he taught him things he never thought he’d learn and it really opened his eyes. But when it was revealed that Solas was the Dread Wolf? His guts clenched. He knew Solas had lied before, but not on this level, sure Ari felt betrayed but never had he been so terrified that his friend would die for a reason such as that. Ari and Krie both became Red Jennies afterwards, helping Calliope along during the harder years, they of course settled down somewhere near Denerim and keep Stab Jr close.
Ennis and Evra both have the same reaction, this idiot has got to be out of his mind, and then downright enraged. It’s a much different rage from Elessar’s as both of them were devout Dalish, screaming about how they should have known that they’re gods were shit, and basically slavers. They were also pissed that the person they had counted on was a fucking BAD GOD, and that Calliope had been duped by an asshole. Evra continued to be extremely angry about it, eventually telling her children about the true history rather than sugar coating it, and tells them they can have whatever faith. She believes hardcore in the fact that Andrastian faith is more tied in to Solas than anything else. She never tells Cullen however, not wanting to offend his faith, as she loves him too much. Ennis eventually just shrugs it all off and ignores it like everything else, he would rather tag along with his love Bull than deal with it. Although the both of them always help Calliope regardless.
Daisy is the one that quietly fumed at Solas although she tried to kick the Eluvian open to go and take a shit on everything Solas loves. Daisy welcomes Calliope every time she crawls into her shared bed with Sera, and snuggles the Inquisitors nightmares away. Sera and Daisy both end up living with Calliope to help out with the Red Jennies as well as give enormous amounts of emotional support.
August is confused, very confused. He never liked Solas to begin with but now it’s just like “what do I do now?”. His entire faith was questioned by Evra as she vented to him about the Andrastians possibly being duped by Fen'Harel himself, and he was just one big “I don'g fucking know”. It was so extensive that he couldn’t wrap his head around the whole idea even when Silvhen explained what had happened. He honestly never settles down due to the fact he married Cassandra, and they both are so justice driven that they constantly are in and out of finding things to do.
Silvhen is, happy almost. He feels angry that someone he looked up to lied to him, but he eventually agreed with what Solas said. He feels that it would be so much better with the Fade and the world as one, since he had been abandoned by his parents due to being a mage. He thinks that nothing would be better than that to show everyone how good mages can be, especially if future generations could be exposed to magic for so long they just became accepted. Eventually he has a falling out with Calliope and joins the Dread Wolf’s forces. It’s been undecided if Liri followed him or not.
And lastly the Adaar Twins:The twins feel very confident they should just crush Solas like they fucking bug he is at the end of Trespasser, they’re incensed with the idea that Solas only wants to restore the world for elves when there are so many others in Thedas. Genocide is not something that they think is a very good idea, and is certainly not going to win you over with anyone with common fucking sense. They protect Calliope in any way they can to make sure that the assassins know who exactly they’ll have to get through to sabotage the Inquisition, all the while helping their respective partners, Ranier, and Josephine. While they may not support the trusting of Solas anymore they will help Calliope until their last breath.
