Full version No, i fucking hate it!! Pure speculation, but: Bioware is known of placing narrative context in their visuals. This suggests to me the likelihood of end game choice: Inquisitor vs. Solas. On the right, Solas is badly hurt and looks to be dying/tortured. But the Inquisition crest is whole. On the left, Inquisition crest is being burned down, blight and Elgar'nan are nearby. Both Epler and Weekes mentioned how they approach writing story beats: they select a story they liked and "borrow" parts that work for their progect. Weekes mentioned Highlander being an inspiration for Solas character. look at that film plot (it's about the climax of an age-old war between immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present-day storylines. Main hero is immortal being who falls in love with mortal woman (I watched it, it does have parallels between Solas and Lavellan). At the end of first film, the enemy captures protagonist mortal lover to lure him out. We do see Solas, in his Dread Wolf form, attacks Elgar'nan in blighted city in recent trailer.

Also Solas in the centre, with two wolfs -> good and bad perhaps? they have different shade of fur.

I have considered it, and it would make perfect sense. A romanced Lavellan would be the perfect bludgeon to use against Solas. Not sure about non-romanced inky, but it might work.

Capturing romanced Inky will definitely add to the drama and would be aimed at hurting Solas personally. But I think Elgarnan will have a reason to capture any Inquisitor. No matter how you RP your hero, Thedas considers them religious figure, directly linked to andraste. Elgar'nan would want to get rid of any competition to reestablish his "divinity". Capturing and killing/ enslaving modern day figures who may hurt this claim is expected of him. Additionally, such act will create chaos - exactly what's needed to take over.

Elgarn'an And ghili is, effectively, remnants of the past. Some elves remember then, but only from the stories and distant past. Elves aren't the only race in modern Thedas. Both of those loonies will have to start almost from the scratch to amass new followers and bent others to their will. Getting rid of Maker, Stone, Andraste etc. is logical step. Like with Christianity and paganism -> it wasn't done subtly.

Look up twitter/reddit if you aren't averse to toxic takes. I like DA content, so my feed is filled with tweets on the subject. Just the other days I've seen takes like "solavellans are a bunch of white trade wifes", we are spoiling solas for others, we are too obnoxious to think romance with him will have extra content. we have the main character syndrome and wastly overestimate Lavellan's influence on Solas etc.etc. Dark Horse’s Thedas Map is out, with high res pictures of the map. I do not like how Dread Wolf is depicted. I worry for him being blighted/badly hurt/dying Pictures: calling you guys trad wives is a wild take. ***** Also that map is amazing really interesting design for the figure on the bottom left as well...can't find Solas though.

I'm getting chills just thinking of this theory and if correct Corinne just lied to us big time, technically,but the good kind. Still having trouble FINDING the Inquisitor though.

Both of those loonies will have to start almost from the scratch to amass new followers and bent others to their will. Getting rid of Maker, Stone, Andraste etc. is logical step. Like with Christianity and paganism -> it wasn't done subtly. Carrying on with this theory, and assuming some theories are accurate:
Inky is a reference to Andraste
Andraste is a reference to Mythal
Both Mythal and Andraste were betrayed and murdered for "power." Andraste by her husband, Maferath. Unsure of who betrayed Mythal, but lets assume it was one of the other Evanuris. Perhaps Elgar'nan.
Who betrays Inky in this situation?

Oh, I like this theory. A captured romanced Lavellan. Solas and Rook work together to save her. Yes, that will do. Drama.
