Q & A

How was Solas able to control the anchor in the same way as when he stopped it from killing the Inquisitor at Haven?

Solas reveals that he is stronger now, and although the mark was bestowed upon the Inquisitor by Fen'Harel, he has learned to control the anchor, much like when he stopped it before. His increased power and deeper connection to the mark allow him to manage the anchor's influence.

What is the relationship between Solas and Fen'Harel?

Solas was originally soulless, and Fen'Harel came later as an insult, which Solas took as a badge of pride. Fen'Harel was a figure who inspired hope among his friends and fear among his enemies, which aligns with Solas’s current actions and goals.

Why did Solas create the veil, and how did it destroy the world of the elves?

Solas created the veil to protect the world from the destruction of the Aures and their lust for power. However, in the process, the veil cut off the elves' connection to the Fade, destroyed their immortality, and caused the loss of much of their culture and wonders, including their dependency on the Fade.

What role did Methal play in Solas's conflict with the elven gods?

Methal was a voice of reason among the Aures, and her death at their hands was a major catalyst for Solas's rebellion. He viewed her as the best of them, and the murder of Methal was a crime that justified the punishment of the Aures in Solas’s eyes.

How did the Aures become remembered as gods?

The Aures started as respected leaders, eventually becoming gods over time due to the fear and reverence bred by war. As fear spread, people sought simplicity, eventually elevating the Aures to divine status.

What would have happened if Corypheus had died and Solas had recovered the orb?

Had Corypheus died and Solas recovered the orb, Solas would have entered the Fade using the mark the Inquisitor now bears. He would have torn down the veil, causing the world to burn in the chaos of raw Fade energy, ultimately restoring the world of the elves.

Why did Solas disrupt the Qunari plot if he planned to destroy the world?

Solas disrupted the Qunari plot because, through the Inquisitor’s actions, he realized there is value in the current world. Although he plans for its eventual destruction to restore his people, he does not take joy in the process and wishes to see those recovering from the breach in comfort before the end.

How did Solas regain control of the Eluvians, and why is it significant?

Solas regained control of the Eluvians after a failed attempt by one of his agents to seize control from a character named Bala. With the Qunari forces now gone, Solas has full control over the Eluvians, which are important magical artifacts that could further his goals.

What is the fate of the Inquisition now that it has been disbanded?

With the Inquisition disbanded, the group has no formal alliances or an organized army. However, they still retain the strength to face challenges ahead, and they are now focused on finding ways to deal with Solas and the challenges he poses.

What is the significance of Solas's anchor and its eventual fatal impact?

The anchor is a powerful magical mark that gradually draws the Inquisitor closer to the Fade and will eventually kill them. Solas expresses regret for causing the anchor's worsening condition but is unable to prevent it completely, though he offers a chance to save the Inquisitor for now.
