I really don’t want an Abelas who serves at Solas’ side in DA4. 

I just don’t, man. I want an Abelas who gets whispered to from the darkness and realizes that Solas didn’t kill Mythal the first time, but that his hands definitely aren’t clean now.

I want an Abelas who looks at the people who lived in the temple alongside him, looks at what the Dread Wolf promises, and wonders where the poison in his gift is. 

I want an Abelas who wonders what will happen if, even if the Veil comes down, the humans still outnumber the Elvhen and have extra magic to wreak havoc with. What will happen if the Elvhen can’t quite beat back the demons created by the subsequent trauma. 

I want an Abelas who thinks about the war and who will be left to preserve all that remains of his history.

Please don’t give me an Abelas who falls in line. Give me an Abelas who fights.
