You are in the rotunda of Skyhold, where Solas has taken up residence. There are scaffoldings and buckets of paint at the walls, as well as torches are lit by veilfire. Construction staff passes by, in an attempt to fix the worst of the damage in Skyhold - providing a certain indignity to Solas, who has been given an office in one of the most crowded spaces here in Tarasyl'an Te'las -- or simply, Skyhold, to the ones who speak the common tongue. The only consolation was that Josephine did not receive preferential treatment, her office was also on the way to the war room, raising the question who designed this place -- certainly, no one had asked scholars for their opinions beforehand.

Solas is painting a mural on the rotunda's walls, with a craftsmanship that borders on masterwork. He notices you from the corner of his eye as you walk in through the archway from the main hall and pauses for a moment, before resuming to paint with quick, sharp brush strokes. The noise of Leliana's messenger crows can be heard from above, coming from the rookery on the highest floor of the rotunda.

"Inquisitor." Solas greets the Inquisitor in his usual formal manner.
