Big fan of that theory that Lace (if chosen at Tearstone) was actually swallowed up and encased in The Stone. Because of course whatever remains of the Titans would risk it all and muster all their remaining power to save their child. To save her from the Evanuris, to save her from their blight.
Especially the child that managed to figure out the truth of what happened in the past and see them for who they really were. The child who loved them dearly, who embraced their pain and righteous anger as her own, and who sought to find a future for the Dwarves that honored their history.
I want to believe that The Stone took her deep into the mountains - into the Titan's own remains - to protect and heal her. That one day soon she will rise to rejoin the world and people she treasures.

This was EASILY the most requested and I’m SOOOO glad we all agree Lucanis is a wrist kisser 🙂↕️
Would LOVE to hear your elaborate headcanon about Harding surviving because I love that idea! 👀
Sorry for taking so long to answer this! I'm also going to tag @ninfadeloslagos because she also asked about it
The tl;dr version is that she uses her powers to suspend herself in stone to prevent herself from succumbing to her injuries.
We see her do this on instinct after she fell off the cliff when she first discovers her powers, and we know that lyrium!Harding can do it too because we find dwarves encased in lyrium at the end of Harding's questline. These dwarves are suspended in time- they have no memory from the time they were encased to the time they were freed by Harding. Sure, you could interpret this as just being unconscious but that's not fun. I choose to think of it as a bug in amber, unable to bleed or decay.
The combination of Harding being able to encase herself AND the idea that doing so suspends her in time means that she should be able to prevent her injuries from killing her until she can safely be extracted and treated by a healer. Both the First Warden and Strife get stabbed through the middle and survive so I think she'll be fine actually
Hi hello I share this headcanon and I have proof.
The fade prison is the first instance of Rook thinking the companions are dead, right? But every mage knows that what we see in the fade might not be literally true. It's Rook's regrets that leave them trapped there. Bellara or Neve saying "You picked me to die" isn't true, because NEITHER OF THEM ARE DEAD.
So I sacrificed Davrin in my first run because I have never played the Mass Effect series and I didn't know T_T. I got to that scene before the final battle where Rook can go to Davrin's room to Remember Him, and it was all about his sacrifice and how he will never be forgotten, thanking him for what he did for the team.
Ok, fair enough I expected as much when a companion is presumed dead, but that's not what happened when I sacrificed Harding.
I know e x a c t l y how to feel
Alistair Theirin having elven blood, tainted blood AND great dragon blood coursing through his veins is very much main character energy.
