LANAYA & FELASSAN / @felledarrow.

There was a time when Felassan believed he could let her go. If she chose to leave him behind and return to Solas's side, he thought he could watch her walk away if that's what she wanted. But he realizes now that he can't. He needs her more than the air he breathes, life filling his lungs. She is magic and sunlight and strength immeasurable. And he is hers. For as long as the ages are numbered, and longer still.

noooooooo i’m not writing solas wanting to try things eludysia’s way after he sees that she has power and plans to use the inquisition to better things for the elves and mages while felassan’s ghost hangs over him

aha 

noooooo what made you think that

i might have my tinfoil hat on rn... but does anyone else think it’s suspect that ghilan’nain’s ascension myth mentions a hunter and the story where fen’harel is captured by andruil mentions that fen’harel was hunting “the halla”? 

it’s not an exact parallel, because ghilan’nain’s myth says the hunter was someone “she did not know”; and he had first shot a hawk "through the heart by an arrow,” “an animal much beloved of andruil.” whereas the story of fen’harel’s capture only says that fen’harel was “hunting the halla without [andruil’s] blessing.” but both stories follow the same vague sketch: someone/something is hunted. gods are offended. someone is bound. someone has their ropes chewed through and flees.

the sketch could just be a case of recurring motifs in dalish culture’s folklore, and a way for the da writers to hint to us what’s in store for the narrative. the reason i feel it’s suspicious is because it’s hinted to us in da:i that solas and ghilan’nain had some sort of relationship, and she is going to be a likely antagonist in da4 if we’re going by the horror of hormak... and because of that mention of an arrow in ghilan’nain’s myth. felassan, whose name literally means the slow arrow, is the one who tells us that story of fen’harel’s capture by andruil. why are these four players (solas, felassan, andruil, and ghilan’nain) in two different stories that share the same sketch?
