Elgar'nan and Mythal (Morrigan) Theory (GAMEPLAY SPOILERS)
So, we've more or less established from yesterday's gameplay reveal that one of these is definitely Elgar'nan while the other is probably Anduril or Ghilan'nain.
Which made me wonder about the identity of this dragon that was shown to us in the character trailer. I thought it was an archdemon or the main big bad but what if it is Morrigan? Having inherited Mythal's soul? Of course it won't be the same for all world states but if Morrigan drinks from the well of sorrows, she is forevermore controlled by Mythal and she clearly states she will do whatever Mythal (or her mother, Flemeth) asks if it meant she can keep Kieran safe. And guess what, at the end of Inquisition, Morrigan (if she drank from the well) can turn into a dragon and fight Corypheaus, and it looks eerily similar to the dragon we saw in the character trailer. Even if it is your inquisitor that drinks from the well, you have the power to control a dragon that is in some way tied to Mythal. So perhaps depending on your choice, this might play out differently.
Also, to further strengthen the argument that I think it is Mythal, is the eclipse happening in the background.
The old Elven legend for Elgar'nan goes:
"the sun grew jealous of the favor shown by Elgar'nan for the things of the earth, and so burned them to ashes. In retaliation, Elgar'nan threw the sun down from the sky, and only later relented because of Mythal's intervention."
Also,
"The Dalish believe that Mythal was born of the sea. They tell that when Elgar'nan threw the sun out of the sky in vengeance for burning the earth to ashes, Mythal calmed him and helped him see how his anger had betrayed him. Elgar'nan was convinced to free the sun. On the first night after the sun was released Mythal created the moon, from the glowing earth round its bed, to be placed in the sky as a pale reflection of the sun's true glory."
And what is Mythal associated with again? The moon, she created it. Her moon is eclipsing the sun, once again. Protecting it from Elgar'nan's wrath.
So, is Mythal back? We know Solas kills Flemeth as the end of inquisition but we also see her put something in the Eluvian before Solas walks up to her. I very much believe she was passing on her essence/consiousness/power/knowledge for Morrigan to find, or Kieran even. We still don't know what they talked about before Morrigan and the inquisitor found them in the fade and how Kieran was drawn to the Eluvian to begin with. If Morrigan is not in the game (as Claudia Black stated she's not unless she's not allowed to say it due to an NDA) then Keiran may as well take the mantle, the details of his old god soul are still fuzzy, we don't know if that's what Flemeth takes from him in the fade or if it was something else entirely but I bet we'll find out soon enough.

Flemeth Dragon Age's glow-up between games is truly the funniest thing, especially considering her hot dragon shapeshifter milf appearance talking to Hawke in the DA2 prologue is literally like 3 days after the Warden meet her as a bog witch hag at the start of DAO
This woman literally waited for the moment her daughter left before slipping into something sexy

The original plotter and instigator. I'm curious to see how they deal with her entity (for lack of a better term, I guess) in Veilguard.
