The final encounter

so i was scrolling reddit and someone was asking how come they can't seem to write solas dialogue correctly for fanfiction and someone in the comments pointed out that he, not always, but very often, speaks in IAMBIC TETRAMETER? and that's why he SOUNDS LIKE THAT?

Don't imagine him building a temple devoted to Lavellan over her tomb, filling it with murals depicting her deeds and devotion to her people. Please don't think about how he would make this temple the most awe inspiring building in the whole of new Arlathan, putting everything else to shame.

Oh and don't you dare think about how he would include every member of the inquisition in this temple's gravesite. Please, don't imagine him making sure that every single one of them had their own resting place inside this building, along with their stories painted on the walls with intricate detail because he refuses to let them rot in obscurity and all alone.

Spare yourself, don't imagine him dedicating his life to this project to bring honor to his dead lover and his dead friends, and once it is done, years later, he ends up in the final tomb because he ended himself over the crushing guilt that's eating him alive from the inside out.

First off, while the artwork is gorgeous, what I really want to praise is the background music. If this is what we can expect for the next Dragon Age game, holy shit, I am excited for the score.

But now, let's get to what I believe is confirmation of symbols for the Evanuris. This is something I touched on before, pointing out one of the figures in the mural released previously had the same head shape as one of the statues in Trespasser called "TyrantIdolHead" in the game files. Namely, these bad boys:

Now, take a look at the symbols surrounding the circle in this artwork:

Each "TyrantIdolHead" above has the same symbol shown in the cinematic art here.

More so, the one in the very centre correlates to the head of the figure on the right of the previously released mural below, and the one on the very right correlates to the figure on the left:

In total four have corresponding shapes:

Which begs the question, which one is for which member of the Evanuris?

I think the one that looks like a sunburst is obviously Elgar'nan. The one that looks like dragon horns could be Mythal. But the others, I really don't know.

The only other thing I want to comment, is in the centre of the large circle, looks like the outline of a city in gold. Then, the golden city turns to black, as the narration explains the creation of the veil.

light without darkness is blinding

Justin is the one measuring our thread (ok)

Travis is the one weaving it (comforting)
