Not people saying "Solas want to destroy the world to bring back Arlathan'"
In Tevinter Nights he said this:
So 'Before this world ended' is contradictory with 'What I am doing will save this world, and those like you—the elves who still remain—may even find it better when, when it's done'
I think this is intentional, Solas often speaks in double meaning and half-truth. I have a weird feeling that his plan is not the apocalypse, this world ended could just be the world of Thedas that we know now end. Doesn't mean all lives will die apocalyptic level.
Still i have no idea whatever only elves who will survive or maybe all people surviving. It's possible even with the veil down, other races survives too (they just gonna be mages, which is the natural state of everyone)
What if tearing down the veil might be a necessary step to deal with blight? Evanuris? Other threats??
Who knows it remains to be seen. But i found it hilarious that some people are falling for 'solas is the next big bad' no, Dragon Age always have a secondary bigger threat that is revealed half-way through or in the end.
Also the last thing Solas wanted is the old Arlathan. You can tell from the way he talks about his fellow elven gods.
I bet all of my money theres another legitimate reasons behind his plan. And I bet with and without Solas, the veil is going down anyway. You can't keep the evanuris there forever.
@thedreadblog Morrigan also made a remark about how change is necessary, there's sandal and his prophecy, i also read Drakon's vision about the maker returned and make the world paradise or at least harmonious again from Felassan post (yes Drakon is a piece of shit egocentric zealot lying bastard but still it's a piece of lore) and WHO just returned from his long lost sleep? Solas.
Make the world harmonious again (or something like that) sounds like no-veil world again.
Also there's people who speculating that Solas doesn't care about his people because he wants to tear down the veil then that's mean all people will die including his followers
Look at this picture below:
This is a very modern looking ship, definitely inspired by aravel. But i think this is an ancient transportation from Arlathan era. What if there are thousands ships like this or even more??
Solas definitely has an ark or more prepared to save people, especially his followers maybe??
I just... It's just doesn't make sense if he let them all die. One of his plans is TO SAVE the elves, not damning them even further.
Also one more crucial info from Tevinter Nights
The nevarran mages thought that Solas is using demon army or bind Spirits to do his bidding, but no! Solas would never do that. Those necromancer are just delusional and arrogant, they think they know everything about Spirits.
They thought "NOOO justice and valor would never follow Fen'harel"
But what if they did? And because Solas is against binding spirits, that's mean spirits are following him out of their free will.
Do you honestly believe spirits of justice and valor would follow him if his cause is not justifiable or noble? Bold?
They wouldn't follow someone who is just 'Evilz'
Edit: This is something that I just remember, but i wonder if let's say the veil is down and not all people die and people just turned into mages (as their natural state should be, because I believe any races who can dream are connected with the fade) which will make them powerful
Mage inquisitor and mage hawke's power would be boosted up to an unfathomable level... I wonder if it'll be enough manpower to defeat the evanuris?? And blight??
LOTR style battle? And people who have their magic back fight alongside Solas to defeat their enemy? Just like what happened in the past??
