^ I think this is the exchange you're thinking of: Inquisitor: That’s the past. What about the future? Solas: I lay in dark and dreaming sleep while countless wars and ages passed. I woke still weak a year before I joined you. My people fell for what I did to strike the Evanuris down, but still some hope remains for restoration. I will save the elven people, even if it means this world must die. Option 3: Inquisitor: Solas, whatever you want, this world dying is not the answer. Solas: Not a good answer, no. Sometimes terrible choices are all that remain.

[...]With that said, IMO the color of lambswool in DAI looks like it's tailored specifically for him. It just hit me. "The wolf in sheep's clothing"... This can't be a coincidence.

I just had a massive brainwave...
This banter between Cole and Solas comes after completing All New Faded for Her. (Bolded points for emphasis)
Cole: Bright and brilliant, he wanders the ways, walking unwaking, searching for wisdom... Solas: I do not need you to do that, Cole. Cole: Your friend wanted you to be happy, even though she knew you wouldn't be. Solas: (Sighs.) Could you... if you would remember her, could you do it as I would? Cole: He comes to me as though the Fade were just another wooded path to walk without a care in search of wisdom. Cole: We share the ancient mysteries, the feelings lost, forgotten dreams, unseen for ages, now beheld in wonder. Cole: In his own way, he knew wisdom, as no man or spirit had before. Solas: Thank you.
Based on the timing the dialogue, I always thought they were talking about the Wisdom spirit. But both Cole and Solas call the subject of the conversation "her" or "she" not "it", which Solas uses to identify Wisdom and what Cole uses when describing spirits.
Ergo... *dramatically points finger at the defense stand* The friend that Solas and Cole are talking about is not the spirit of Wisdom!

Auirel I agree that Solas says "it" to talk about Wisdom previously. Maybe he just called her "it" to talk to people, besides Cole, who he isn't sure view spirits as people? He only refers to her as it when asking for help from the Inquisitor (who he's not sure will even help him or not) and to the Kirkwall idiots who summoned her as he's dressing them down.
Or maybe both she and it are just accurate pronouns for Wisdom, since she's clearly taking the form of a (glowing) female human when we get to actually see her?
Or maybe Patrick forgot and Karen (or other editors) didn't catch it.
Not meaning to harshly shoot you down or anything. I just don't see how the "she" can refer to anyone but Wisdom, given the context and wording. Do you have an idea of who you think it might be, instead?

No worries, I didn't really explain it as comprehensively as I should have. Its possible that Patrick and Karen missed it, but I prefer believing until proven wrong that what he wrote was intentional. Its a fairly common theory that Solas was once a Wisdom spirit that Mythal convinced to leave the Fade, but I've always been a bit hesistant about it. Looking back at a lot of Cole's cryptic dialogue though I believe it more and more. Basically I think Cole and Solas are talking about Mythal instead. Mythal is commonly viewed as the elven goddess of wisdom and Solas clearly saw her as the "best of them" and therefore the wisest. The ambiguous nature of the banter is just really throwing me, and I can't not ignore the fact that they both talk about "she" and not "it". It really doesnt seem like Solas would casually call Wisdom "her" after constantly calling Wisdom "it". Seems even less likely that Cole would make that mistake.

So in "He comes to me as though the Fade were just another wooded path to walk without a care in search of wisdom.", Solas is the wisdom spirit coming to corporeal Mythal, then?

When Solas says "The first of my people do not die so easily", does he literally mean the Evanuris were the first elves to ever exist?

Sso in "He comes to me as though the Fade were just another wooded path to walk without a care in search of wisdom.", Solas is the wisdom spirit coming to corporeal Mythal, then? I've always understood it as his ease to move across the Fade; his experience in traversing it as well as his lack of fear of it. Plus, we know that those who explore the Fade are oftentimes hampered not just by demons lurking in it, but also by things like physical distance - after all the Fade reflects the world it surrounds. It's what made young Solas leave the small village he was raised in to search for new areas to explore... though I think it's been a while since he's gained so much experience and power that distance isn't that much of an issue and he can reach far away places with relative ease. Plus, we know that Fade has layers and some layers are more difficult to reach than others, as exemplified by Solas expressing deep surprise that Inquisitor has managed to contact him via dreams in Skyhold, which - in his assessment - would be a feat even for a mage. So whoever he is walking to appears to be experienced and powerful. IMO this fits both Mythal and Wisdom, who isn't just a regular Wisdom spirit. Solas does call her one of his oldest friends, so at this point I'm curious who he's known first - Wisdom or Mythal?

Hi all! Just finished my first playthrough of Inquisition (in which I romanced Solas - I heard only female elves could, so I decided on that as my first romance) and I have so many feels! I'm glad this thread exists.
I desperately want it to be possible to work with Solas to find a better way to remove the Veil that doesn't destroy everything in the world. It seems like it ought to be possible, since elves survived the separation. Right?
Also, I missed Solas desperately when doing the DLC that I missed during my runthrough (because you can apparently only access that area if you are on the first floor of the Skyhold map when you look at the world map?!). Solas, you may have terrible plans for the world, but you're also sweet, helpful, and fun to talk to. Come back to me!

Good! I hope he came to steal our cakes and saw us all crying and it made him cry, too! So now he sits alone eating our frilly cakes while weeping because it's the only part of us he can touch now.

Aneth ara. I did SoLavellan for my first-ever playthrough of DAI (last year), though I don't know if a Lavellan who decided to keep her Vallaslin is tolerated here I've got a rusty grey warden helmet over here. Never really liked those wings. Would it help hiding the cakes in it?
