❄️Waitlist 2026❄️
Cassandra in the Trespasser epilogue.
That's it, that's the post.
I was Solas first. “Fen'Harel” came later

Matt Rhodes uploaded old official concept art of Solas and Lavellan in Trespasser DLC, titled “ComeWithMe.jpg”
Given how symbolic the Inquisition made the Mark on the Inquisitor's hand, with the common people asserting it was some sort of blessing from the Maker, I really feel like there must have been massive political/religious backlash when they showed up back through the Eluvian missing the lower half of their arm.
It's not like they could tell the rank and file, much less the Orlesian Court, that actually it was raw/uncontrollable magic that was killing the Inquisitor until taken back by an ancient Elven diety.
Instead, it looks like the Maker is taking back their gift.
Maybe the Divine gets very good very fast at spewing some like about it being a sign of the Maker's love or Mercy because humans physically cannot bear divinity forever without pain, with the exception of the Holy Andraste. Or even that the Inquisitor had reached the turning point where they had to choose to ascend with the Anointed or remain to do the Maker's work in Thedas and they chose the latter. Depends on your Inquisitor and who you made Divine.
But God, the talk had to be awful after... and not just while the Inquisitor is suffering but about their suffering, so there's really no escape.
I almost would say I want to be a fly on the wall for those religious/political discussions, but there's a good chance I would be cringing with sympathy the whole time.
I just love the Trespasser DLC so much, it captures so much of my love for the series.
It’s not even about Solas, per se. It’s about the visceral feeling that you’re walking through a ruin of a world, that you’re witnessing desperation, it hammers in a message of being lost in time, lost to time, much like the best Deep Roads bits in the series have managed. You hear a dying civilization, you feel their disbelief and anger - what did he do, what did he do, the Evanuris will come for us - and you piece together the puzzle of what happened through fragments and murals (GOD THE MURALS) and conversations and Cole and the whole time there is immense pressure on the Inquisitor because the political landscape is imploding now that the urgent threat of Corypheus is gone and the bloody Qunari invade and your hand, your damn hand is killing you and you still have to chase these leads through the Deep Roads that are always evoking emotions of fear and beauty and the tragedy of history and through Crossroads that are broken and beautiful and haunted. The first time, I had tears in my eyes for large chunks of the playthrough simply because it was so emotionally charged. And when you replay it you realise Solas is there the whole time, telling you the truth, offering a trail to follow and you see another dimension of the wreckage, sees his grief, his desperation. My people were wrong about you, you can tell him and he protests, saying that what you’ve seen is just another version of the story, painted in desperation to give him more credit than he ever deserved. The score in the background is killing you with its emotions and the view from where you stand is so gorgeous you could cry as Solas tells you - in fucking Hallelujah cadence no less because poetry - what he did, how he caused the fall of his own people and must heal the wound he inflicted and you can tell him you would never have thought him the kind of person who could do what he is now about to do. Thank you, Solas says, as though it’s the kindest thing anyone’s ever said to him and it probably is. And it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t change anything though the epilogue hints that it might still be a fraction of hope left because even if a tragedy states that the main character is doomed, his downfall must not be brutal, perhaps there is a path through all the debris and broken worlds, perhaps you will find it.
someone made this exact joke back when trespasser first dropped and i can't for the life of my find it in any of my tags. so i've recreated it
