Veiltober - Day 26, Ghilan'nain

The gentler spirits are far more rare

Fear, like every emotion, is a powerful thing.

solas stans who go “i hate him and i love him i love to hate him grr stupid egg etcetera etcetera” stronger than me cause im too far gone he has never done anything wrong ever sorry. killed varric? love you so much king but you wrestled a guy for a knife while your tits were out. oh he betrayed rook? good

Some Idiot: Solas deserves to die.

Me, Unapologetic Solavellan and Taker Of Zero Criticism: You try sitting on 8,000 years of guilt and regret because of your actions, tell me how you’d fare.

URGENT!!!!! can anyone find the image from the art book of an inquisitor's gloved hand reaching out to pet a small dread wolf's snout???? i can see it so clearly in my mind but cant find it in my tags and @kraujuota must witness it

Thinking about this data and seeing red.

There was so much space for a nuanced, beautiful exploration of one of the best and most complex characters they’ve ever given us, and instead he got reduced to a handful of regrets presented with zero empathy and a shit tonne of blame when Mythal was RIGHT THERE, dismissive comments about his trauma (“they were doin it” 🤢), and “god of lies”—not sure I will get over this aspect. There were many things about Veilguard I genuinely loved, but this? This can get in the bin.

Looking for a good post on why we should just let Solas tear down the Veil. I'm just interested in the perspective.

I know I saw a few arguments for this maybe a couple weeks back. But I have no idea where they went or who wrote them.

I just love that solas is an artist

he speaks in poetry, he covers his homes in murals that permanently alter the walls, plays stringed instruments, and composes music

the world he was shaped by rang together in song and beauty created from the force of life itself and even if he’s irrevocably changed how that world works, he’ll keep creating — if only to remind himself that his bloodied hands and shattered voice are still capable of it

As with every group of whispers, they often are thrown in as background noise and reversed. So I took the liberty to reverse the Well of Sorrows whispers and clean up the audio. A mantra of whispers going in circles, sung by a Well.

Some of the Whispers Heard:

Go to the Dirth Mythal speaks for the elves Travel Far She speaks for the elves She’s abelas Mythal She speaks for them both

Also, as a pleasant add on to this oh, so not creepy audio. The Dirth is another name for The Exalted Plains, as a Dalish elf there will tell you. The Exalted Plains/The Dirthavaren (The Promise) was were the last of elven nation fell.
