Happy Birthday, Gareth!

This zine is a small token of appreciation from a group of fans who have been very emotionally compromised by Gareth David Lloyd's portrayal of Solas and his ever-compelling relationship with Rook. Through his performance, he made us feel everythingโ€”from admiration to frustration, from awe to existential dread (sometimes all at once), and for that, we are incredibly grateful, and we want to offer at least a little bit back to him as well as the community as a whole.

Since Veilguard launched, we've been through some of the best times of our lives, and our community has only grown bigger and more productive. We were once just a handful of fans trying to find each other and talk about Rook and Solas, but now we can create our own events and zines, which is something that never ceases to amaze us.

Maybe it was the verbal jabs between Solas and Rook, or the intense looks these two shared, or perhaps it had something to do with the hand touches the devs hid from us so well that we needed a free cam mod to get a glimpse of. In any case, weโ€™ve poured our hearts into this collection of art and fiction. Every piece is a reflection of the inspiration Gareth gave us, the depth he brought to the character, and the way Solas continues to haunt our thoughts.

Each of us has different stories and tragedies we put our Rook through, and this little booklet will give you a little glimpse of that. The full picture is too big and complex, but this is the first of the many projects we have planned.

We hope this zine reflects the joy Gareth's work has brought us and inspires others to join our growing community.

With excitement and a touch of dramatic creativity,

Solas is so funny like... 'this is YOUR FAULT. YOU unleashed the Blighted Gods!' solas you did nothing but act weird, make people worry and imply you were going to destroy the world for ten years while acting all mysterious and distant. you rushed to do the ritual in the most worn down place possible and you did nothing to truly assuage fears that you were going to destroy the world, all while releasing demons on city streets. be serious. be so serious. how is this anyone elses fault. you were the shadiest dude in the world and you made everyone think you were about to destroy it, and you're STILL not denying those allegations. this isn't on anybody but you buddy.

this aged like fine wine in my opinion.

You had it in one

Unfortunately there's that group of fans who believes everything he says.
