"Tear down the Veil, you bastards!!!! I can't stand this crap anymore…"
Poor Thia missed the old world terribly. At least the absence of the Veil, the oneness with her spirit friends and magic everywhere.

#hanal'ghilan 2022 FAQ
What is Hanal'ghilan? It’s a month-long event in which artists, writers and other creators produce content about Elvhenan, ancient elves, and spirits within the Dragon Age universe.
Who can participate in Hanal'ghilan? Do you like DA elves and spirits? Do you want to participate in Hanal'ghilan? Congrats, you’re in! Create something and upload it during the event with the tag #hanal'ghilan2022
I don't have an elf OC, can I still participate? Of course! Hanal'ghilan is meant to be a creative exploration of ancient Elvhenan in particular, with its elves and spirits, so if you like any of those you're good to go!
Do I have to stay canon-compliant? Nope! Let your imagination run wild. If you think Ghilan'nain was a Kossith or created the Kossith, that Ghilan'nain and Andruil were lovers, that Mythal was Solas's mother/mentor/lover/something else, you're welcome to explore that and more.
I’m a bit lost and don’t know what to create! Our prompt list for 2022 can be found here! Feel free to skip days, pick from later in the list, or loosely interpret the prompt itself for your work. The one-per-day prompts are suggestions, not hard and fast rules.
What does hanal'ghilan mean? Hanal'ghilan is the Pathfinder, the golden halla. It's believed to come to the elves in times of great need. Hanal'ghilan appears in ancient elven ruins or on cliff faces in places the elves have roamed. We chose it for our event to serve as a symbol of creativity and to encourage creators who'd rather follow a set prompt list as well as creators comfortable wandering off the beaten path.

So I remember seeing this comment about Solas on a DA:I video and it has stuck with me to this day
“I really like how they left [Solas] very grey in intentions and morals. He's not a bad guy per-se, you're just not on his side of things, he's trying to restore the world that he destroyed, and doing so will destroy the current world. But even though the sacrifices sound horrible, is the current world even worth saving? A world plagued by the Blight, where the dwarves are a dying race, where the Qun is spreading like a plague, subjugating more and more races to a type of slavery impossible to escape. And perhaps most important to him, a world that has considered both elves and mages as nothing but sub-races, Elves as nothing but slaves or cheap laborers, and mages as feared monsters that should be chained.
It's easy to see why Solas sees no future in the current world. The fact that he saves the Inquisitor to evade unnecessary chaos (and the fact that he stopped the Qunari from invading) shows that he isn't taking his path lightly. If he had found a less destructive way, he would have taken it. I really love this set-up, we're finally given an antagonist that's not mad, nor an abomination, nor just some over the top "evil" guy. He’s just a guy trying to save his people, and taking no enjoyment in the death and destruction this will cause.
I love the redemption dialogue at the end, or rather all of the dialogue between him and a Max Approval Inquisitor. The way he seems torn and almost begs you to stop him and show him a different path to save the world... it's a great way to end Dragon Age Inquisition”.
Many apologies, I do not remember your tag name on youtube but whoever wrote this, please come and claim your genius!!

Fenharel freeing elven slaves.
"Cowering, cringing, blinking in the light. Then cool hands, kind voices. Sleep now. You're safe." (Cole comment about Solas’s mosaics)
And that is the same person who said "I'll kill you all to save you all." :DDD
I was thinking that it doesn’t matter how many times Solas told elven slaves that he is no god and just as mortal as they are. They were fateful to stay enslaved for the eternity of their immortal lifes. But Solas gave them freedom they couldn’t even dreamed about.
He will be always kind of god for them.
May be that is why he stayed as a god in elven legends after ages.
