I need everyone who didn’t read the books to know that Felassan (who’s name means slow arrow in elven)

This guy

Who was in several of solas’ memories and has notes around the lighthouse and crossroads

Was in the masked empire. He was a friend and mentor of Brialas and helped her with her efforts to use her relationship with Celene to improve the lives of elves in Orlais (and tried to let her down gently when it became apparent that was not enough).

He refuses to let Briala tell him the code for the eluvian network so that he cannot give it on to Solas. Refusing to tell him would not be enough to keep it from him. When he meets with Solas he tries to convince him that modern elves should be given a chance. Solas murders him, his ally of thousands of years, for this.

In inquisition, Cole says this:

This is what the Betrayal of Felassan represents. Solas murdered his trusted friend and ally because he though modern elves were people whose lives had value.

Viago: I am at a loss for words-! Rook de Riva, narrating: Though he claimed he was speechless, Viago yelled at me for 45 minutes.

is there actually anything more irritating than depression apathy… like why am i sitting here arguing with myself “i kinda wanna play a video game but i kinda don’t because, what, i’m just gonna boot up a game and play it and have fun and close it when i’m done? get real”

romanced lucanis canonically finds listening to rook's voice comforting so now I'm just imagining him sort-of sneakily arranging for my mourn watch mage rook, bellara and emmrich to be in a room together and sitting back with a cup of coffee to listen to the inevitable three hour mage nerds geeking out session that follows (he understands, optimistically, about 10% of anything they're saying at any given time but it's just nice that they're all happy). it's like meditation for him, letting all that magitech babble wash over him entirely uncomprehended. who even needs sleep after that (you still need to sleep lucanis)

Spite was just as confused as Rook was🤣

Edit: I am so sorry that I never did this initially, credit to

new favorite banter just dropped

[variousxcruelties]

Rowan: Spirit of Determination: May your enemies die bitter and in pain Spite: Yes! Good! Lucanis: Don't encourage him.

So Spite was originally a spirit of determination. Good to know.

(You can trigger this in the hall of valor by the rivaini qunari seer named Rowan)

Bellara: "Solas killed mythal? After all that? Is this another memory from a different time?"

Scout Lace Harding, pride of the Inquisition, IQ 177: "no. He wore that same outfit in the Inquisition."

I'm sorry but I am sobbing this line of dialogue was so fucking funny. The implication that he only has two outfits, that he fucking frescoed himself in one of them, and that it was so iconically raggedy that Harding knew immediately it was from Inquisition Time asjhflamcnjfkwjajcbkwit
