I have done some research and I have come to the same conclusion. They link Thedas to the Fade, as though the Veil itself was shattering around us. It is a strange and unfortunate set of events that has brought us to this point.

[ Solas, of course, knows far more about the Fade and the nature of the Veil then he is willing to let on. He is about to continue, but then her hand moves and rests upon his shoulder, and he is caught in whatever trap she has laid for him to fall into. He is frustrated, true, but his thoughts are distracted entirely as soon as she gets close to him.

He stands taller, he thinks; he feels stronger for the gentleness of her hand. It's almost as though time itself has bent around him, and there's anxiety that floods him as he shifts to try and step away from her. ]

I am sure it will come to pass in Thedas, too. [ It is his dream, after all, and he will find a way. ] It will simply take time.
