So we are already inside the Titan's body when we entered the Wellspring. It seems unclear at what point we stopped being outside the giant and started being in one -- maybe the last lift? Maybe we entered the Titan when going through the darkest tunnel? The bigger question though, how the hell is the Wellspring so BRIGHT?! And having floating cloud-ish things at the bottom? Is it what the body of a titan looks like? So the light is fuelled by its life force? Does anyone have any ideas/theories about this?

I always thought it was lyrium. Either lining the high walls or a super bright deposit near the top of that cavern. Or perhaps super potent lyrium vapors.

Either lyrium dust or filtering in from further down. I didn't think about it much beyond that, to be honest, because I was distracted by all the pretty

I thought it was lit by lyrium too. But the Titan is so big it seems to have its own weather system too

It's the air filling the Titan's lungs.

It is the true lyrium causing the brightness, the lifeblood of the Titan. In the previous chamber it was literally flowing down the walls and into vast lakes of the stuff. It is why I couldn't understand why the mages in our party weren't bleeding from the eyeballs, since lyrium is meant to be dangerous to be around but may be that is the mineral that the dwarves mine, which is impure and crystalline.
The codex that goes with it talks about a dwarf king tunnelling through to the sky, which may be accounted for by the cloud and the brightness making him think he had gone all the way through to the outside world.
Here's another thought though. In more than one place in the Chant of Light, the Maker is referred to as the "Wellspring" and the Maker is associated with light. So does the Titan have some connection with the Maker? Even the Chantry believe that the mineral lyrium is the essence of all Creation, left over from the creation of the world, and some people call the sound it makes the "voice of the Maker".

It's the air filling the Titan's lungs. If that's the lungs, then that would make the subterranean lake it's ... bladder? Man, poor Titan, must have been holding it in for ages!

It comes from the sky. No, really. There's a sky on the bottom of Thedas, too. That's why Dwarves have that weird superstition about being able to fall into it.

I always thought it was a giant lyrium core-like structure that's further away from the wellspring that's giving off that light.

An interesting thought, one if I've wondered myself. There seems to be alot of parallels there. As to the OP's question, I'm with the general consensus already expressed. The glow is from a vast concentration of raw, undiluted Lyrium in distance.
