My Lavellan had nearly her entire clan die during the events of Inquisition, but found herself welcomed and championed by Keeper Hawen and his small clan in the Exalted Plains.
Which makes all the more heartbreaking discovering his fate in Veilguard. He finds himself taking a one-way trip through an Eluvian, finding himself just outside the set that takes you to Arlathan Forest, amongst other places. But none will open including the one he arrived through - and there's no bridge to the next island (since you have to do the puzzle on the other side).
He manages to write a note before he dies, and you find the note and his remains when you first reconnect the Arlathan Eluvian to the Crossroads. His final thought is to ask if the state of the Crossroads might be linked to the war between the Evanuris and Forgotten Ones (which, as we know, becomes important in Bellara's questline - set in the Arlathan Forest, where he died near).
BRB, writing an angst fic about Rook having to tell The Inquisitor that Hawen's dead. That every single time Lavellan finds Dalish she starts to see as family, they die.
