Something that always makes me point at screen about Solas saying walking through a world of tranquil, is that the comparison isn't a one to one and he even admits that he was wrong for it.
But it makes me think about all the spirit theories when it comes to an unveiled world. How everyone is basically severed from themselves in a sense. Everyone used to have a connection to their spirit and therefore everyone could do magic. The reason why elves (modern) produce less and less mages is because the more you reproduce the more you become physical.
Solas talks and talks in a romance about seeing Lavellan's spirit, we don't know exactly what that is but they have given us a lot of hints about it. Specifically with the one person you wouldn't think, Varric.
When talking about being the Herald and what the people see, he says on some effect of
"The only Hope they have is you."
----
I mean what else other than a Hope spirit would get religious people to sing after their holy town was destroyed.
Hope would be able to stop Leliana from killing a man that might be valuable later, Hope would get her to move on from Justina.
Hope would be able to help Cassandra rebuild the Seekers, help her see the path as divine.
Hope would make it possible for Dorian to reconcile with his father AND inspire him to go back to Tevinter with the ideals of the Inquisitor.
Hope would be able to forgive Thom and help him redeem himself because we saw the hints of how good he tried to be.
---
And to really nail in the point, Hope would be able to show an Ancient Pride spirit that the world is real. That no, this isn't a world of tranquil and that a romance and hell even a friendship almost made him completely drop everything because he loved his friends.
And as Cole says about the Inquisitor:
"You're too bright. Like counting birds against the sun. The mark makes you more. But past it... [the part that changes due to origin] And past that, the weight of all on you. All the hopes you carry, fears you fight. You are theirs.
We've talked about Ghilan'nain and her monster making experiments.
And I saw a post somewhere about how the Dalish consider the halla "brothers and sisters" to the clan, and what if that is actually literal? Like, Ghilan'nain experimented on elves to make the halla?
And while that is horrifying, I want to point out the concept art for the varterral.
That torso certainly looks like it might have once been a fucking person to me!
Let me just drop my new gif here.
