emynii asked: Do you think the Old Gods/Archdemons are the keys to the Evanuris' prison? And that the grey wardens killing them would have unleashed them? I think it has to be something like that, or he wouldn't get so worked up. But I'm not convinced the Archdemons are imprisoning the Evanuris in particular, cause the Evanuris' prison is the Veil itself, and Solas wants to take down the Veil - he seems to agree that tearing down the Veil would free the Evanuris, but says he 'has plans' for dealing with that. Whereas he gets very upset at the idea of killing the Old Gods and freeing whatever they're holding back.

Q: if the Old Gods are really the Evanuris, are the Blights and getting the Magisters to breach the Fade actually elaborate revenge on humans (+ also the dwarves or they just didn't care about them)? A:The Evanuris have absolutely no reason to give the faintest fuck about humans, except as a means to get out of the Fade. (Assuming they are, in fact, the Old Gods.) Humans have done … nothing to them. [...]

We know that the evanuris were god-like figures. It is constantly and heavily implied that this status of 'godhood' was beyond simple reverence, it affected their nature. As Solas says 'the first among our people are not killed so easily'. In the canonical comic 'Until we sleep' we learn of a tevinter magister forming a cult of somniari, 'dreamers' with the goal of using the blood of great dragons to shape the minds of dreamers, and subsequently, reality itself.

about Titans and the Blight and the Evanuris, etc. (answer to a question I got before) from what I've discovered, my best guess is that the Titans (more specifically, the Blight unleashed by killing the Titans) were the last straw for Solas, in addition to Mythal's murder. It was a war against the dwarves/Titans that caused the Evanuris to be worshiped as gods, then "an aeon seems to pass" and, apparently, about the same time when Fen'Harel was rebelling against the gods about the slaves, something ominous starts to emerge from deep within the earth, where the Titans were killed…

There's something suspicious about Solas being agnostic but also talking about "great (religious) rituals" and that you should "tread lightly, this is sacred ground" in a reverent voice - what is up with that? Why are rituals worthy of respect to him when he hates the evanuris and finds modern religious organizations to be bad, and he doesn't think gods are real?
