FIRST OF ALL yes. Living for this. It’s a direct play on The Tower tarot from the end of DAI with a non-romanced Solas:

In this new mural, the man and wolf have melded, and now it would appear someone else is standing up against him (and bc that someone has a left hand, looks like not the Inquisitor.)

But wait! There’s more! That idol should look familiar from DA2: it’s the Red Lyrium Idol that drove Bartrand mad. 

Which looks quite a lot like what ultimately became of Meredith:

And quite a lot like Andraste. Does this mean Andraste was corrupted by red lyrium somehow?

Note that in the circle on the latest murals, there are seven circles: much like in the below. And we know from this mural that the asterisk in a circle = an orb, so the fact that 5 of them are empty and two of them contain orbs suggests that these 7 circles mean that seven orbs are somehow involved, which to me implicates the rest of the Evanuris.

As for 1) whose orbs are/aren’t being used, 2) what Andraste’s connection to Mythal,  the primeval thaig, and the rest of the Evanura is, 3) who corrupted the ed lyrium and why, and 4) what ALL means for the next game, anyone’s guess. Hopefully we can piece together more as more information becomes available!

I agree that the new figure on the left I more likely the new protag, and also not the Inquisitor (look mom, two hands)!

Great speculation here – more theories please, everyone??
