Something something elvhen spirits brutally using lyrium to create physical bodies for themselves, as a war crime, and generations later the dwarves, now overrun by darkspawn aka the embodiment of their own anguished severed dreams, brutally using lyrium and stone to forge vessels for enslaved dwarven souls in an act of war and desperation.
Something about how much was taken from the dwarves, how much they forgot, Orzammar's obsession with ancestors and bloodlines and recording their history in lyrium, how they were once all a part of one whole and now the worst punishment they can conceive of is a dwarf's existence being erased, forgotten, severed entirely or never remembered at all.

Solas just had one of those cries and then he’s about to kiss his wife and that man looks like he’s about to die of sheer passion and they haven’t even kissed yet. Then in the other still, the way he’s just ever so softly lingering his lips against hers. Allowing a little space, savoring this. Like he’s drawing every single little millisecond into his mind. His soul.
until the world fades away
Solas & Lavellan at the end of DAI, Trespasser and DAV
Congrats to them for finally having an ending together!
(you know, there's something to say about how in every other one, they are separated from each other, but in their end slide they are reunited, embracing and not letting go)
