What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

What I think (actually it's a general conclusion for most DA players) ...

1] One of the answers is Tewinter since they were the vultures that swooped down on the shattered elven realm, scooped up whatever they could find and planted their flag, gleefully declaring their "empire". The means of their magics is based on elven approaches, as Solas pointed out to Dorian. Hence, whatever there is to find to counter Solas falls on Dorian and whoever else he can find (Calpurnia might be one of these) because definitely, the Inquisitor and the former war council and those trusted inner circle will be working closely with him on this.

Another is Morrigan, if she drank from the well. Whether she's under geas to obey Solas depends on which god soul went to him since Flemeth was carrying two. I'd prefer to think she gave him Urthemiel and sent Mythal away, to Morrigan or * whoever she had prepared to receive it. Yes, prepared because she appeared to know future events or able to deduce how the dice would fall from the possibilities she saw.

* In an implausible scenario, the Inq might possibly receive it though it's highly doubtful she would readily accept it unless Mythal persuaded her. I say this because of the odd glow around the Inq at the Temple of Mythal. If this actually happens, the Inq would be on more of an even ground with Solas. She would also have a platform to undermine him if she goes against him; his supporters since she holds Mythal.

The third less palatable ally is the Qunari. Honestly, if they were a choice, I will not take it. I absolutely detest them / the Qun. Besides, they were no more able to stand against Solas. They were only good "scientists" & mechanics. If such a scenario happens; Solas persuaded to create a separate realm in which the elves would reside, forever cut off from the humans. All magic would also accordingly retreat to that realm, leaving the world the humans occupy, fully mundane. They would industrialise and the qunari would excel.




I originally supported a reduced Inquisition under the guidance of the Divine but I have to rethink it.

1] Solas know the people in the Inquisition and how they work.
2] There will be inevitably spies from opposing factions. Harder to root out in a big organization.
3] Once chaos erupted again, the bigwigs will point accusing fingers at the Inq once it's known and believed that Solas is the villain. They'll likely sprout all kinds of BS and make demands. I'm all for leaving them to scurry around frantically, as dumb as they were during the Corypheus crisis and this time, no one will be publicly stepping forward to do their jobs. Whatever will be done by the Inq and her friends, it will be done privately / quietly with aid from Tewinter.



It does. It could also be the reason why the elves left in droves and it is another reason for the Inq to dissolve the Inquisition.



It's all speculation. Creating the Veil might have cost Solas all his power, hence, he dropped into deep slumber to recuperate. When he woke up, he had recovered some but not to the level he was before which was why he gave the orb to Cory because he was too weak to open it himself.

I always get that recognition line because I'm such a busy bee collecting everything in every PT.
