The Blanketfort (crying and throwing up) - The Official Solas Thread [Spoilers]

You know one of the best bits about that scene was what is going on apart from the singers. With my male Lavellan and the CoJ run, Dorian is tending the dying cleric, the only one who is concerned about him, rather than singing to the Herald. I so much prefer Dorian in the CoJ run because you see the real caring person behind the glittering mask he puts up to hide his own inner hurt. To me he is showing far more true Andrastrian faith with his compassion in that scene, particularly when you learn later that everyone rejected him, the blacksmith even spat on him, when he first joined up. That was the moment when my Lavallen felt ashamed of his earlier mistrust simply because he was from Tevinter.

Then there is the look on Solas' face. There is a faint smile there. What is he thinking? Does he approve because he thinks it will help counter the backlash over the orb or is he thinking "This is how it starts." (If the PC has accepted the mantle of Herald Solas can be quite scathing about this later and knowing what happened with the Evanuris who progressed from inspiring leaders to gods, you can see why he feels the way he does).

Then after the singing when I'm alone with Solas. He says: "The humans have not raised one of our people so high for ages beyond counting".
I think that is probably the only time I remember him actually identifying himself with the modern elves. I also wonder who he is previously thinking of? Could it be that the humans worshipped Mythal?

Then he warns about the repercussions when the humans discover the orb Corypheus is using is actually elven in origin, particularly as it threatens the heart of the human faith.

I love giving the bottom response: "Even if we defeat Corypheus, eventually they'll find a way to blame the elves." (Solas slightly approves) That whole sequence was what really made me bond with Solas because we both seemed equally sceptical about the adulation.  Of course it is also somewhat ironic considering the ancient elf was responsible for the whole mess.
