Come to think of it, is there any canon evidence...

No problem! Though I do think of him as a healer, I always see him as having been a general first and learning healing much later on out of necessity. I can see him preferring a combat style that relies heavily on sabotage and weakening his enemies while buffing his allies. My own headcanon though ;)

I could totally see that! But because I’m also trash, part of me kind of wants him to just have an impeccable, fade-enhanced bo staff skills. You know...for reasons. xD *flings self into dumpster*

Quick question: I've been doing some Elvhenan world building for a fic and I know LG is pretty much the standard for lore/past events. Just wanted to know what were the hardest things for you to come up with, maybe what you'd do differently or what you'd advise paying attention to? I know you're busy so you don't have to answer :3

Oh! Thank you!

Well, I think the hardest thing is just getting my head around how different a society must operate when everyone’s an immortal wizard. There are so many things that people are not going to look at the same way. Especially if they’re coming at this from being spirits, too. Time will be perceived differently. Death is no longer an inevitability. History feels different because there are good odds on someone being left alive who was actually there for it. Reproduction’s different because there’s no constant demand to replace people dying from old age.

Basically, my advice is to take all the factors you know were present, and just wrap your head around what you think they might do to people’s mindsets, or what might have caused them to occur. Stuff will kind of fall naturally out of that. For example, if immortal elves might be at risk for over-population due to their immortality, how do they control that? What would the methods of control entail for the average person’s life? Do they treasure children but restrict the number of births? Do they allow people to pro-create as they please but cull off the weak/inferior/untalented ones? Do they stick their kids in a Hunger Games-esque arena when they’re old enough and only let the survivor proceed to adulthood? Do they just let the numbers build up and deal with the fallout in cycles of famine and war?

When considering the factors to choosing one possibility over another, Solas’ confusions with the modern world are usually a good place to look. If you sit down and go ‘what does Solas just not get?’ it can usually lead to some answers about what his past was probably like. Because if he’s badly misunderstanding something, he probably hasn’t encountered it before. So. What does Solas not get? And why might he be misunderstanding or struggling with it? And what does that imply about the society he comes from?

If I have a regret for my world-building with Looking Glass... hmm. I can’t think of any right now, which is nice. But I will say that having people to talk to here has really helped flesh out a lot of details and made me think about stuff I otherwise probably wouldn’t have, so I definitely recommend Q&A’s, if you’re comfortable with them, and discussing stuff with folks.

Hope that helps!
