 It has been almost a year, hasn't it?{S}
 Do you miss the tower at all?{S}
 You can take a mage out of the Circle, but you can not take the Circle out of the mage.{S}
 Or so Irving used to say.{S}
 The only thing one can do is to be aware that this is a possibility, and ask yourself often why you do what you do.{S}
 You do not live in isolation.{S}
 Your actions have consequences and they affect those around you.{S}
 I do not want to, so try not to give me cause to do so.{S}
 You start a conversation and I just run away with it, do not I?{S}
 I have been mentoring apprentices for so long, it is become something I do unconsciously.{S}
 I do not know if I could stop even if I wanted to.{S}
 It is a perfectly acceptable way to get around.{S}
 People do not become mages, they are born mages.{S}
 But you are asking how I ended up at the Circle?{S}
 I was brought there by the templars, just like many of the other apprentices.{S}
 I do not remember very much.{S}
 I set a boy on fire.{S}
 Oh, yes, he did.{S}
 He was the eldest son of the woman who took me in.{S}
 I do not think he ever liked me.{S}
 I did not have a family...{S}
 My earliest memory was of hiding in a hay loft on a farm, trying to keep warm.{S}
 I was found, and the farmer's wife was kind enough not to send me away.{S}
 But they had children of their own and I was never made to feel welcome.{S}
 He was always calling me a 'stray', and throwing anything he could get his hands on at me.{S}
 And I do not know how it happened, but one day, he just found his hair on fire.{S}
 So many are gone... they will need new enchanters.{S}
 Irving knows what to do and he does not need me underfoot.{S}
 For now, I will support those that battle the darkspawn.{S}
 I do feel I left things unfinished in Ostagar.{S}
 There is so much left to do and I would be part of it.{S}
 Just remember you did not have the benefit of the training most Grey Wardens have had in the past.{S}
 Just a little... but do not worry.{S}
 I am sure you will work out just fine.{S}
 Yes, I did leave them, but if the Blight is not stopped, all of them will face suffering greater than what was seen in the tower.{S}
 The Grey Wardens... all two of you... need all the help you can get.{S}
 I will see this through to the bitter end.{S}
 You can bet your fuzzy little socks I will.{S}
 No, of course I am do not.{S}
 I am old and unsure of what I am doing.{S}
 Actually, I would rather be in a warm chair in the sun, being served pudding, or some other easily digestible food.{S}
 Well, get on it then.{S}
 And make sure there is a blanket in my chair and that it is soft.{S}
 And that the pudding does not have cream on it.{S}
 Cream gives me gas.{S}
 People often jest about my age and I have learned to just play along.{S}
 You need a sense of humor when you are as old as I am.{S}
 What do you want from me?{S}
 I should not have disturbed you.{S}
 I will do what is right, and I do not care what people think.{S}
 I could not care less about others.{S}
 I will do what I want.{S}
 I suppose I could try to think about my actions a bit more.{S}
 I think I have had enough of your advice for now.{S}
 I will try.{S}
 I am glad you take the time to counsel me.{S}
 At least you do not repeat yourself like other old people.{S}
 How did you become a mage?{S}
 How did they know you were a mage?{S}
 I bet he deserved it too.{S}
 What do you think will happen to the Circle now?{S}
 Why did not you want to stay at the tower?{S}
 Just do as I say.{S}
 We will get along fine as long as you pull your weight.{S}
 I am sure you will be able to return, if you so choose.{S}
 I wanted to make sure you really wanted this.{S}
 There is no need to be snide.{S}
 I did not mean it that way.{S}
 I had singed his hair and eyebrows, but injured little other than his pride.{S}
 Who knows what they would have done to me had he been more seriously hurt.{S}
 Thankfully, all I had to endure was a few nights locked in a cold barn, with a bowl of water and a crust of bread.{S}
 And you would have seen yourself trussed up like a festival turkey and paraded about the square for it.{S}
 Village folk have little love for 'witches' like us.{S}
 Serves him right.{S}
 He was lucky, I would've done much worse to him.{S}
 That must have been years ago.{S}
 The barn kept me safe from the village children and the stones they would hurl at me.{S}
 I was afraid, yes, but it could have been much worse.{S}
 I will never forget the moment the templars led me into the entrance hall of the tower.{S}
 I had never seen anything so grand in my life.{S}
 He gave me sweets and even sat me on his shoulders once, when I wanted to look over a high wall that ran along the road.{S}
 Do not get sentimental on me now.{S}
 No child, not even a mage child, is a match for an angry mob trying to place blame for a failed crop, a hard winter, a baby born dead.{S}
 But those walls are there to keep non-mages out, as much as to keep mages in.{S}
 Little did you know it was just a prettied up prison.{S}
 Superstition and fear is what makes these people behave in this manner.{S}
 It will be difficult for a while, but I have no doubt that the Circle will recover.{S}
 First, there were rules, and we were constantly watched to make sure we behaved appropriately.{S}
 We had to cast the spells just so, control the effects completely.{S}
 A single word spoken incorrectly, a gesture out of sync, meant lack of focus, and we needed to have perfect focus, or we would be in danger.{S}
 I was given the opportunity to develop my skills, to learn...{S}
 The people outside may have shunned you, but you did not care, because you were surrounded by your kind, your family.{S}
 Without the Circle and my mentors, I would not have been where I am today.{S}
 So, tell me, how did you become a Grey Warden?{S}
 Duncan took me from the Alienage and saved me from prison.{S}
 I was tainted and only the Joining could save me.{S}
 I was cast out to die in the Deep Roads, where I met Duncan.{S}
 I met Duncan and he liked me.{S}
 Do you mind if I ask what you did?{S}
 A nobleman kidnapped my bride and I killed many to free her.{S}
 I should not have brought it up.{S}
 I would have done the same.{S}
 Do not apologize.{S}
 People need to know what we go through.{S}
 You did not know.{S}
 It sickens and saddens me to hear what men in power inflict on those who they ought to serve and protect.{S}
 I have heard stories that some templars who hunt maleficarum do not end the hunt with a clean death.{S}
 Regardless of what happened in your past, I am glad you found a place with the Wardens, as I am sure you are too.{S}
 I am sorry you had to go through such an injustice.{S}
 I did not really want to be married anyway.{S}
 I understand your need for privacy.{S}
 But Duncan must also have seen something special in you.{S}
 The order does not take in recruits just to save their life.{S}
 Why would he do such a thing to you?{S}
 I had no idea... my lady.{S}
 I had no idea... my lord.{S}
 Ah, you are keeping this tale to yourself, I see.{S}
 Do not.{S}
 Howe will pay for what he is done to me.{S}
 I always took my family and our name for granted.{S}
 You can no longer have a title, can you?{S}
 But that does not mean you must forget utterly where you came from.{S}
 Do not be blinded by your desire for revenge.{S}
 Rendon Howe will get what he deserves, in time.{S}
 I have learned a little of the strict caste system of the dwarves, and I apologize for saying this, but it seems terribly backward.{S}
 Take heart, dear friend.{S}
 We do not know yet what lies in store for you, or the name you carry.{S}
 It is the hope of confronting my brother that kept me going.{S}
 I feel like I abandoned everyone in the Alienage.{S}
 I am finally being shown the respect I have always deserved.{S}
 I am happy as long as I get to test my steel in battle.{S}
 I would rather have died.{S}
 I would give it up if it meant I could see my family again.{S}
 Being exiled has given me a freedom I never had before.{S}
 I was honored to be chosen by Duncan.{S}
 I just wish my house did not have to fall.{S}
 I will do my duty, but I will not forget what Howe did.{S}
 Orzammar has forgotten me, but I will protect her.{S}
 Sometimes it gives me comfort to think that everything will end up the way it is supposed to, that it will be all right.{S}
 You were chosen; you survived the Joining when others did not.{S}
 My old life does not matter anyway.{S}
 I just do not feel like talking right now.{S}
 I respect the decision you made, and the way you handled it.{S}
 And it did not seem to affect Duncan's desire to recruit you.{S}
 I stand by the decision I made back then.{S}
 I still wish it hadn't turned out the way it did.{S}
 Yes, I am sure you do, and I respect that.{S}
 Irving told me he was relieved Duncan was still willing to recruit you.{S}
 That is not something either of us can alter, so it is best to put it behind you.{S}
 If you do not wish to remember your beginnings, I will not waste my time trying to remind you.{S}
 You can agonize about how you should have been at the tower, or you can imagine that you were not there because you had to be elsewhere.{S}
 I do not care how it feels about me.{S}
 If I was there perhaps I could have prevented...{S}
 I wonder what Irving saw in me that made him recommend me.{S}
 I am grateful that I can use my gift for something good.{S}
 Do not squander this time trying to explain why Irving picked you.{S}
 You are a true child of the Circle--raw power tempered with learning, wisdom and the desire to serve others.{S}
 Have you encountered many abominations apart from the ones in the Circle Tower?{S}
 No, the ones in the tower were the first I have ever seen.{S}
 Well, I have heard many stories.{S}
 You are younger than I, and your nerves yet have some steel in them.{S}
 Did you feel any fear facing the abominations?{S}
 Every mage is vulnerable, no matter how accomplished or powerful.{S}
 And over-confidence can lead to recklessness.{S}
 One slip... all it takes is one slip, and everything you are is simply gone... replaced by madness.{S}
 Of late I have begun to wonder if... if there is any way an abomination can be... cured.{S}
 You have doubts?{S}
 The only way to get rid of an abomination is to kill it.{S}
 We cannot let them be simply because they might get better.{S}
 Do not trouble yourself, though.{S}
 This is only an old lady giving voice to her musings.{S}
 Why do you care so much about this anyway?{S}
 Have you heard much about the Grey Wardens of old?{S}
 Only what I have heard in the old tales.{S}
 Unfortunately, they have all passed back into the Maker's hand, so that wish will have to go unfulfilled.{S}
 Well, I wish I had a griffon.{S}
 It was said that watching the Wardens ride in on their white griffons was enough to rouse a weary heart, and put the dance back in the step of an old man.{S}
 But no one cares, or remembers what the Grey Wardens did for them centuries ago.{S}
 Do you object to this?{S}
 Does the story have griffons in it?{S}
 So does it have griffons in it or not?{S}
 If it does not have griffons in it, I do not want to hear it.{S}
 I do not really care if there were griffons in it.{S}
 I do not have time for children's tales.{S}
 I have no time for stories.{S}
 The Blight had ravaged the land for months, and the armies of the great kings had amassed for one last stand.{S}
 These stories do not move me.{S}
 There are things more important to me than made-up yarns.{S}
 They formed a shield of their own bodies and held that line until the archdemon was dead and the last darkspawn lay trampled in the dirt.{S}
 When the clouds finally rolled back and the sun shone full upon the blighted ground, the great kings knew that they had lost no men, and none of their blood had been spilled.{S}
 This is a tale about no battle the Grey Wardens have fought, and yet about them all.{S}
 Both sides always take losses.{S}
 They have always defended us from the darkspawn, taking losses so we do not have to.{S}
 People may have forgotten over the centuries, but nothing has changed.{S}
 This knowledge has been blessing and burden to Grey Wardens past, and now, it shall be your blessing, and your burden.{S}
 I must ask: What does being a Grey Warden mean to you?{S}
 It means everyone needs to show me some respect.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Does it have to mean something?{S}
 Ultimately, being a Grey Warden is about serving others, about serving all people, whether elves or dwarves or men.{S}
 It means I have been chosen to do something important.{S}
 It is the guardian who serves, not the one who is being guarded.{S}
 Or did you think it was the other way round?{S}
 You have ears, but you use them only to hear the sound of your own voice, it seems.{S}
 I do not quite understand.{S}
 You mean to say I serve as a protector?{S}
 I serve no one, and do not you forget that.{S}
 You are not making this Grey Warden job better.{S}
 And you guard them because their continued existence is more important than you are.{S}
 Thus it is you who serves, not they.{S}
 I will keep that in mind.{S}
 A Grey Warden should put aside the person that he used to be.{S}
 It has shaped the person that he is, but he has become something greater.{S}
 Grey Wardens have no titles, they owe no allegiance to a king or lord.{S}
 They cannot serve one people, they must serve them all, and protect them all.{S}
 But I have lectured enough for today.{S}
 I should stop before I wear out my welcome.{S}
 Yes, you should get some rest.{S}
 Starting to slow down a little, are we?{S}
 As you may have noticed, I am no spring chicken.{S}
 But in all honestly, I do not know how many years I have left in me.{S}
 I have lived for such a long time.{S}
 But there is always something else to do, and I have to keep going in order to do it.{S}
 I think I will be glad when I am... done.{S}
 Hey, do not say those things.{S}
 We still need you.{S}
 There is still some life in those old bones, I bet.{S}
 You are not allowed to be done quite yet.{S}
 Oh, I do not know.{S}
 I really do not.{S}
 I am fighting a human war that has nothing to do with me.{S}
 You said I had to serve.{S}
 I always had others serving me.{S}
 A good king--a true king, who cares for his land--uses his power to rule firmly but fairly.{S}
 He serves his people first and foremost.{S}
 The king who does not do this, who believes that he is entitled to his power, who abuses it and uses it for his own means, is a tyrant.{S}
 If you live apart from others, and your actions affect only you, then you may do as you wish.{S}
 But if you have power, influence and strength, your every action will be as a drop of water in a clear still pond.{S}
 The drop causes ripples, and ripples spread.{S}
 So in a way, having power confines you.{S}
 I do not want power.{S}
 I have never wanted it.{S}
 If I am strong enough to take power, then I deserve it.{S}
 But we are not talking about how you came by the power, but what you do with it afterwards.{S}
 Your king serves you, does he not?{S}
 You have to change how you see the world and what your place in it is.{S}
 I wish I could be served instead.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 The Blight will find its way to the Dalish eventually, if we do not stop it.{S}
 You have to stop thinking yourself as separate from the humans.{S}
 It may not mean much to you, but thank you... for having the courage to continue to fight.{S}
 And that gives me hope.{S}
 You always have a choice.{S}
 You could have turned away and ignored the Blight until it claimed you.{S}
 But you did not.{S}
 I do not give up easily.{S}
 I did not have a choice.{S}
 As a Grey Warden, I will never lead a normal life, will I?{S}
 You will have dozens of babies and die happy and old in your bed."{S}
 If I had said that, it would have been a lie and I would have been doing you an injustice.{S}
 I could try, but it would not work.{S}
 But I do not think I was ever meant to be 'normal'.{S}
 Do not know why I asked.{S}
 I do not think so either.{S}
 You would not have been happy living a dull, uneventful life, dying in obscurity.{S}
 You wonder sometimes, do not you?{S}
 I did not.{S}
 And that makes me sad.{S}
 Family, love, a simple life--these were things that others took for granted, that I would never have.{S}
 I do not think you are missing out.{S}
 It made me very moody.{S}
 All I could think of was being trapped in that tower, with no way out and no end in sight.{S}
 I started hating my life, and myself, and one night I found myself in the tower's chapel.{S}
 I was seeking refuge, maybe answers...{S}
 The revered mother had lived in the Chantry all her life, as I had been in the tower for all of mine.{S}
 Not all priests choose their path.{S}
 Some children are given to the Chantry to raise, and become initiates.{S}
 Did you find anything?{S}
 I suppose priests have to give up a lot too.{S}
 But priests have to choose to be priests.{S}
 Mages do not.{S}
 She taught me that you can find your family in the people around you, that you can love your work and find fulfillment in duty.{S}
 And there is joy even in self-sacrifice; if you put others before yourself, then their well-being is yours, and their happiness is your happiness.{S}
 I must have looked tearful, or made some noise, because the revered mother came out and decided to speak to me.{S}
 And because I had no one else to talk to, I talked to her.{S}
 I must have said many silly things...{S}
 But she told me that the Maker puts us all on our paths for a reason, and fighting our intended course is what causes so much anguish. <desc>Scoffs</desc> I thought the old biddy was full of rubbish.{S}
 And that made you feel better?{S}
 The Chantry does not offer much of either.{S}
 You must have come to terms with your life eventually.{S}
 But I always found my way back to that chapel, and as the years passed, I began to see the truth of her words.{S}
 That does not sound healthy.{S}
 You can scream and cry and be angry about life as a Grey Warden, or you can accept it and allow yourself to see the good in it.{S}
 I like making sure all my companions are well.{S}
 If you do not keep up, we might have to leave you behind.{S}
 Please let me know if there is anything I can do.{S}
 I have always had an affinity for the spirits of the Fade.{S}
 I have always been able to feel the spirits, even if I never saw them.{S}
 I began to notice, every time I was in the Fade, whether it was in a dream, or in magical practice, that I was being watched.{S}
 It did not feel evil.{S}
 Do spirits watch people like that?{S}
 They have never been seen before and perhaps I am wrong, but something tells me I am not.{S}
 There were times, when I was in the Fade, that it seemed to stretch forth to shield me, keeping me safe.{S}
 And I think it gave me strength in my most terrible battles, Ostagar being one of them.{S}
 It was the kindly spirits of the Fade that took the fear from me.{S}
 Why did the spirit choose to help you?{S}
 I have never experienced that before.{S}
 You must have been a strange child.{S}
 I do not know why I was chosen.{S}
 I like to think that I was given a rare chance, and I am going to make the best of the time so generously given to me.{S}
 And so I will fight alongside the Grey Warden, and help prepare her for the task that is yet before her.{S}
 So you had better listen to me, because I swear, if I should fall before the end and you do not seem to be doing things properly, I will get up again to give you a good finger-wagging.{S}
 And so I will fight alongside the Grey Warden, and help prepare him for the task that is yet before him.{S}
 I can not believe you are spending it here, on the road.{S}
 I will hold you to that promise.{S}
 You need rest, that is all.{S}
 I did not realize it would take this much out of me.{S}
 Did you summon the spirit?{S}
 I did not know you could do that!{S}
 It seemed a good idea at the time, if a little rash--I think it may have weakened the spirit a little.{S}
 I suppose I should not be using that particular trick to entertain children at parties.{S}
 So you could kill yourself doing this?{S}
 That makes sense.{S}
 It took you that long to figure it out?{S}
 Is there something we can do to cure you?{S}
 People fear, not death, but having life taken from them.{S}
 Many waste the life given to them, occupying themselves with things that do not matter.{S}
 When the end comes, they say they did not have time enough to spend with loved ones, to fulfill dreams, to go on adventures they only talked about...{S}
 I do not fear death.{S}
 But why should you fear death if you are happy with the life you have led, if you can look back on everything and say: "Yes, I am content.{S}
 I think I have led a good life, a full life, and I, for one, am not afraid of death, whatever it may bring.{S}
 I try not to dwell too much on the mistakes of my past, of which there are many.{S}
 I would go quite mad if I did that.{S}
 But I do have one regret--the greatest misstep of my life, made even more grave because it had dire consequences for someone else.{S}
 Aneirin was an elf, raised in one of the elven Alienages, and he was very mistrustful of humans, especially humans in authority.{S}
 What Aneirin needed was time.{S}
 Time to get used to his new home, time to emerge from his shell so we could build a rapport.{S}
 I gave him no such time.{S}
 "He is a mage," I thought, "he needs to grow up and act like one."{S}
 He can not have liked me very much.{S}
 All he knew of the humans was what he had seen in the Alienage.{S}
 I aspire to it, but have fallen quite short. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Quite short indeed.{S}
 Do you have any regrets at all?{S}
 It might make you feel better.{S}
 And you took him from his people and put him in the tower.{S}
 But the mages treat the elves and humans alike.{S}
 I gave no consideration to his origin, or his feelings.{S}
 He might have thought I was a demon in disguise.{S}
 Oh, age and wisdom have mellowed me.{S}
 And what did he think of you?{S}
 Sometimes I would catch him practicing on his own, but if I asked him to show me what he could do, he would freeze up, or fumble terribly.{S}
 You cannot plant crops in the cold wintry ground; you cannot teach a student who is closed off and unresponsive.{S}
 Patience is what is needed, and I learned that too late to help him.{S}
 I had berated him over some trivial, ridiculous matter that I no longer remember.{S}
 They had his phylactery and they hunted him down...{S}
 I just wish I had been more aware... stopped for a moment to put myself in his shoes...{S}
 The phylactery is a vial of blood taken from a mage.{S}
 But blood is connected to life, and your blood can be used to track you down.{S}
 That is what they do, they hunt down and neutralize rogue mages.{S}
 Why did not they just bring him back to the tower?{S}
 I begged the templars to tell me if he suffered, if they gave him a quick death.{S}
 I got no answers from them.{S}
 All I had to do was listen to him.{S}
 He would try to talk to me, and I would tell him to concentrate on his spells.{S}
 Maybe he did find the Dalish.{S}
 It was you that brought this up.{S}
 This is getting maudlin.{S}
 These woods are a danger to those who do not know the paths--{S}
 I thought they had killed you.{S}
 They very nearly did.{S}
 The templars found me while I was searching for the Dalish... they ran me through and left me for dead.{S}
 I did, for some years.{S}
 The tribe made me feel very welcome, as though I were a lost child.{S}
 They taught me elven magics and told me the old stories.{S}
 I owe them much, and so I stay close by, but I do not count myself among their number.{S}
 I learned to listen to them, and they taught me well.{S}
 I brought this on you.{S}
 I am sorry for the way I treated you.{S}
 I have put that behind me and you should too.{S}
 I did not fit in with the templars and your Chantry... my path lay elsewhere.{S}
 Why did not you stay with the Dalish?{S}
 He will find some way for you to return.{S}
 The Circle needs new blood.{S}
 It needs to change.{S}
 I have fond memories of Irving.{S}
 Perhaps the mage you seek is right in front of you.{S}
 Now, it is getting late and you have much to do.{S}
 No, we have spent enough time on my personal affairs.{S}
 We have dallied long enough.{S}
 I am pleased to have made your acquaintance, Aneirin.{S}
 I learned more than I let on.{S}
 You did teach me, Wynne, even if you did not know it.{S}
 Is there something I can do for you?{S}
 Let me see...{S}
 You know about Wynne's condition, do not you?{S}
 Is there anything you can do for her?{S}
 I do not bear grudges, and it was Wynne who showed me that the Circle wasn't really where I was supposed to be.{S}
 She always tries to do what she thinks is best for others.{S}
 She tried so hard with me.{S}
 Unfortunately, I wasn't listening, and all she knew to do back then was yell more.{S}
 It is a shame she carried that guilt for so long.{S}
 Perhaps the spirit felt that she had a task to perform, one last apprentice to teach...{S}
 Why do you think that happened?{S}
 She is spending her last days in your company, helping you in your quest.{S}
 Perhaps this is what she feels she needs to do.{S}
 You led me to Aneirin.{S}
 You persisted, even though I was sure all you were going to find was a dead end.{S}
 For leading me to Aneirin, of course.{S}
 Have you given any thought to what Aneirin said?{S}
 You are a mage, and you could be what the Circle needs most.{S}
 It always feels good to get resolution.{S}
 But you never really left the Circle, like Aneirin did.{S}
 But if you do?{S}
 It does not have to be.{S}
 I do not want to go back to that oppressive place.{S}
 Your life as a Grey Warden has given you a chance to venture abroad, farther than many mages have been.{S}
 You have seen the world, dealt with kings and lords, templars and apostates.{S}
 You have seen the good and bad of all of these.{S}
 You could bring these experiences back to the Circle, improve it with what you know.{S}
 It will take time but it can be done, slowly.{S}
 I will not live to see the Circle rebuilt and made stronger and more glorious.{S}
 This will be a dream I take to my grave.{S}
 It does not have to be a dream for you.{S}
 I should have known better.{S}
 I had the best mentors; they were kind, compassionate... why did not I learn from them? [: There may be a puzzle here, or the Illuminated Diagram may just be a key to open it.{S}
 Let Ferret know if you would like a Cool Little Puzzle(tm) here or if you would just like to get to the action.]{S}
 You do not have the Illuminated Diagram so you can not get in.{S}
 Open the door with the Illuminated Diagram.{S}
 We have the finest armors in Denerim--maybe in all of Ferelden!{S}
 But everything he makes is of good, solid quality.{S}
 No matter what he says about it.{S}
 The dwarves of Orzammar make the finest armors around.{S}
 These piles of rust droppings <emp>you</emp> force me to make are worthless compared to their work.{S}
 You never let me have the time, the materials to make something special!{S}
 That happened <emp>once</emp>, just <emp>once</emp>, and you never let it drop.{S}
 What is an extra year here and there to make something <emp>wonderful</emp>.{S}
 Your fine point has made my life so much... richer.{S}
 Did I hear right?{S}
 You have drake scales?{S}
 Will not know until I try, will I?{S}
 Let me see...{S}
 Sadly, you do not have enough to make armor.{S}
 But if you find more--and you <emp>must</emp>--come straight here.{S}
 Oh, the things I could make with it!{S}
 Really, take your time, friend.{S}
 No need to come back with any of those at all.{S}
 I must make this.{S}
 I will drop everything to work on this immediately!{S}
 Where is your humility when we really need it...{S}
 Make the customer come back, Herren.{S}
 We have other orders.{S}
 We are making art here!{S}
 I am trying to stop.{S}
 It will take however long it takes.{S}
 You do not rush a masterpiece, my good man.{S}
 It could take months, years even.{S}
 It will not take that long, Herren.{S}
 Unless I did some inlays.{S}
 Of course, the customer would have to agree...{S}
 It will take however long it takes.{S}
 Do not rush a masterpiece, my good lady.{S}
 I should be paying <emp>you</emp>, friend.{S}
 Pay him?{S}
 This is my shop, and working on drake scales will not cost a bloody Orlesian penny!{S}
 I give up.{S}
 Did I hear right?{S}
 You have drake scales?{S}
 You need more scales, blast it.{S}
 Find more or kill more drakes!{S}
 Well, I need more bloody scales.{S}
 They found some already.{S}
 I just want them to find more. <desc>Laughs</desc> Sorry.{S}
 Have you reconsidered?{S}
 I can make such fine armor with your scales!{S}
 Have you reconsidered?{S}
 I can make such fine armor with your scales!{S}
 Wait, you found more scales.{S}
 You have enough now!{S}
 Oh, what I can make with this!{S}
 Do you wish to make another purchase?{S}
 I have barely even begun and you are pestering me!{S}
 Oh, get back to work.{S}
 Come to see our fine goods before they sell out?{S}
 Wade is not doing any more orders today.{S}
 And I have the joy of dealing with customers who had orders that were supposed to be done today.{S}
 Wade is working as quickly as he can.{S}
 And it <emp>is</emp> free.{S}
 It will take a long, long time for Wade to make the armor.{S}
 If you say you want it quickly, I can make sure he is done with it faster.{S}
 I do not think our "customer" realized exactly how long it would take.{S}
 I am very, very pleased to say it is done--{S}
 I would not let a festering swine wear it.{S}
 I do not see <emp>anything</emp> wrong with it.{S}
 It is a work of art.{S}
 Here, wear it well.{S}
 There is still a great deal to do.{S}
 It is done.{S}
 I made the armor...{S}
 Did you bring more scales?{S}
 I want to try again; I have learned so much!{S}
 We were working on your order for a long time.{S}
 We have lost some customers...{S}
 But things are getting back to normal.{S}
 We are done, no--{S}
 Find more and I will happily craft another set.{S}
 This time, I will do it right!{S}
 Please, in Andraste's name, do not come back.{S}
 I can make another set!{S}
 I have been thinking every night about what I would do different.{S}
 Dear Herren, do not worry.{S}
 I can make it faster this time.{S}
 Just give me the scales, friend, and I will have my finest work for you.{S}
 My previous work shames me.{S}
 I will just close the shop until he is done.{S}
 Do you have any i--{S}
 Well, there are a <emp>few</emp> alterations I could make.{S}
 And if you have any more scales, you can shove them... <desc>Sigh</desc> Just leave.{S}
 Smiths of my people pass work over generations.{S}
 Can Wade make something with these drake scales?{S}
 Can you make drake scale armor?{S}
 Are you sure you can make quality armor with this?{S}
 Make the armor, but be quick about it.{S}
 I will pay ten sovereigns extra.{S}
 Make it good and quickly.{S}
 Will it take long to make?{S}
 You can look at them, but do not touch.{S}
 I do right here.{S}
 Let us see what you have for sale.{S}
 How are you getting by?{S}
 How much longer will the armor take?{S}
 Take your time, then.{S}
 I have more drake scales.{S}
 It will be better than the last set?{S}
 Have my flowers enticed you?{S}
 Or perhaps you tire of the smells of the city and would buy my Orlesian oils?{S}
 You have heard of us, no?{S}
 The Avenue of Flowers this time of year has so many colors.{S}
 Orlais has many, many good things--but it is sometimes not so good to be... common?{S}
 My brother had trouble with a chevalier and we departed shortly after.{S}
 A chevalier... took an interest in me.{S}
 I-I feel a touch light-headed.{S}
 For their service, they are allowed... privileges.{S}
 They can do <emp>whatever</emp> they want to the lesser-born.{S}
 There are so many wonderful things about Orlais, but Ferelden has something precious.{S}
 Here a man, or a woman, is born free and lives free.{S}
 I do not understand it, but the nobles here are not so high.{S}
 Circle ensorcelled objects can be found in the Wonders of Thedas, in the alleyway north.{S}
 Perhaps you seek the armorsmith, Wade.{S}
 I have the finest selection of flowers and Orlesian scented oils in all of Denerim.{S}
 Roses can open any woman's heart, you know.{S}
 Why did you leave?{S}
 What sort of trouble did you get in?{S}
 Those beasts are allowed to rape women?{S}
 But what your brother did is right!{S}
 Why do people put up with them?{S}
 Yes, my people are so <emp>free</emp> locked in their alienages.{S}
 Have you lost your way, ser?{S}
 Do you know your letters?{S}
 If so, we have a fine collection of books here.{S}
 Feel free to browse the books.{S}
 Only in Orlais will you find better.{S}
 I also search for more to add to our collection, which is more difficult than it sounds. <desc>Sigh</desc> I have heard them, too.{S}
 A hawker on the street will claim to have an actual finger bone of Andraste.{S}
 In this city alone, you could make the skeleton of ten prophets from fingers alone.{S}
 I have often thought of that.{S}
 We want to believe that what we hold in our hands is the <emp>actual</emp> sandal that slipped from Andraste's foot before the fires consumed her.{S}
 When the heart is ungoverned by reason, charlatans have powerful tools to deceive.{S}
 Even false symbols have the power to inspire.{S}
 But it seems every year we fall more out of touch with the real Andraste.{S}
 I have always been fascinated with history.{S}
 We have access to whole worlds beyond the reach of most.{S}
 One might think you have a touch of the scholastic, as well.{S}
 That does not stop hawkers from selling pinches of the ashes of Andraste to gullible pilgrims.{S}
 I could not prove it wasn't.{S}
 Possibly two, if the Rod of Emperor Drakon you found is real.{S}
 You have shown admirable patience listening to my diatribe before.{S}
 You have returned, ser.{S}
 I will still pay you in gold for those relics.{S}
 I have got to go.{S}
 What is a curator do?{S}
 People are selling holy relics on the streets.{S}
 Why do other curators fall for it?{S}
 Sounds like the hawkers have a good business.{S}
 There are still relics to be found after all these years?{S}
 Of course I can read and write.{S}
 I have got to go.{S}
 Do you think the Urn of Sacred Ashes is real?{S}
 How many real relics have you found?{S}
 What do I pay you for, anyhow?{S}
 Truly, you will be astonished by his work.{S}
 But he does not deal with customers.{S}
 If you need anything, <emp>please</emp> ask me.{S}
 And tell him I do not want anyone looking over my shoulders, either!{S}
 And tell her I do not want her looking over my shoulders making doe-eyes at me, either!{S}
 You simply <emp>must</emp> let me make you that scale armor, friend.{S}
 I am bloody working.{S}
 The scales require all my concentration you daft fool.{S}
 Do not tell me you are wearing that garbage.{S}
 Find me more scales.{S}
 I will make you some <emp>real</emp> armor.{S}
 The second set will be far better.{S}
 Do not bother me.{S}
 This will be my life's work!{S}
 Even if it takes years--it will be <emp>perfect!</emp>{S}
 I am glad Herren let me make something decent for a change.{S}
 There is something that can be done, though it is not a simple matter to accomplish by any means.{S}
 Only a mage can do so, but it requires a ritual that calls for both lyrium and a group of mages... and we possess neither of those things, obviously.{S}
 And even had we those things, there is no guarantee that a single mage alone could defeat the demon that controls the child.{S}
 This should not have happened.{S}
 The child should have received proper schooling.{S}
 Connor's not the victim, he is the one causing this trouble.{S}
 He brought it on himself.{S}
 Jowan did not even take the Harrowing test before he fled from the Circle.{S}
 He is no more qualified to teach than a rabid squirrel.{S}
 Connor was probably never made aware of how dangerous his powers were.{S}
 They must learn discipline, before they even try experimenting with spells.{S}
 Who knows what bad habits Jowan may have encouraged, what haphazard form his lessons took?{S}
 This could have been avoided.{S}
 You of all people should know that he is woefully ill-suited for teaching.{S}
 I am sure Jowan tried his best.{S}
 But Isolde did not want him taken from her.{S}
 She was not thinking about what was best for Connor, she was concerned with what was best for her, that she did not lose him.{S}
 If I had to blame anyone, it would be the Lady Isolde.{S}
 It needs to be watched and tended to, that it may burn brightly, but safely.{S}
 You do not throw a rug over it, or shut it in a closet, trying to smother it.{S}
 I fear that there will be no solution that will make everything "better."{S}
 Is there anything we can do for Connor?{S}
 I will find some way to save Connor.{S}
 We will have to put out this raging inferno then.{S}
 And so we meet Jowan again.{S}
 It must hurt you to see what he has become.{S}
 It seems he is made several bad decisions over the course of his life.{S}
 Yes, it does.{S}
 Jowan chose his path.{S}
 Vows made to a faceless organization are hardly a match for young love, are they?{S}
 I tried so hard to help him escape.{S}
 All he wanted to do was be with Lily.{S}
 He deserved what he got for being a blood mage.{S}
 It is difficult sometimes, to see people stumble and fall, wanting to pick them up, knowing you can not... you just have to live with that, do not you?{S}
 You will always have my gratitude.{S}
 It is not a demon that requires controlling.{S}
 Really, you need not fear it.{S}
 Your concern is touching.{S}
 I do not want you exerting yourself.{S}
 You can see intelligence in his eyes, as well as a great deal of pain.{S}
 This animal is very ill.</desc> <desc>The mabari growls weakly, but does not challenge you.{S}
 After you are done, he whimpers plaintively.</desc> <desc>The dog is muzzled and blinks at you with bleary, pained eyes.{S}
 Perhaps he is aware of the help you gave him, but you are not sure.</desc> <act>Put the muzzle on the dog.</act>{S}
 What is your name?{S}
 Err... it is Pick, ser.{S}
 Go tell Teyrn Loghain that the war party is ready to begin scouting.{S}
 We will send word if we find anything amiss.{S}
 What do you need?{S}
 You haven't brought more instructions from the teyrn, I hope.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain has changed our scouting route a dozen times.{S}
 If you are not from the teyrn, what do you want?{S}
 There is hunting to be done, and I will not be kept from it.{S}
 His chieftain sent him to the dwarves of Orzammar to negotiate an alliance, where he fell in love with the king's daughter, Scaea, and brought her back to his tribe.{S}
 She taught Luthias to use the dwarven battle wrath, to summon his strength and ignore all pain.{S}
 Luthias then taught this to the Clayne, who made him their chieftain.{S}
 He sent Morighan'nan away, but this only vexed her and began a long war between their tribes.{S}
 In the end, Luthias slew Morighan'nan in single combat.{S}
 However, his wounds were great, and he perished when the rage ended.{S}
 The dwarves came from Orzammar that day and gave Luthias an honored burial in the mountains.{S}
 I doubt I have done his tale justice.{S}
 It is said that before the final battle, she returned to Luthias and gave him a shirt of dwarven chain along with a final night of passion.{S}
 They use scent to distinguish us from our enemies.{S}
 Would you steal our kaddis and give it to the darkspawn hordes?{S}
 We would kill you if you tried.{S}
 Even if you succeeded, the monsters would offer only death as your reward.{S}
 If you tried, we would kill you.{S}
 With luck, we will find and slaughter many stragglers.{S}
 We do not fret over their safety as if they were children.{S}
 Our training has been passed down since Luthias the Dwarfson first harnessed the battle-rage of the dwarves.{S}
 It is a dwarven discipline, but we have adapted it to let us fight alongside our hounds.{S}
 We do not speak of a city pet or those things that sit in an old woman's lap.{S}
 I have never been, so I cannot say for certain, but I am told our traditions are the same.{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 Make it quick.{S}
 You make good messengers sometimes.{S}
 Maybe things have changed.{S}
 We have no time for idle chatter.{S}
 You do not look like a surface dwarf.{S}
 So what do you want?{S}
 What would you have of me?{S}
 You could have just said he was the first Ash Warrior.{S}
 The name sounds familiar.{S}
 Not to me, but that does not mean he wasn't honored.{S}
 Why have you painted your dogs?{S}
 What are you preparing for?{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 You do not look like the other soldiers in the army.{S}
 So what does an Ash Warrior do?{S}
 You have a problem with elves?{S}
 I had little choice in the matter, actually.{S}
 I did not expect--{S}
 I was beginning to worry you would miss all the fun!{S}
 Then I will have the mighty Duncan at my side in battle after all!{S}
 The other Wardens told me you have found a promising recruit.{S}
 I take it this is she?{S}
 Allow me to introduce you, your Majesty.{S}
 No need to be so formal, Duncan.{S}
 Might I know your name? <desc>Chuckle</desc> You have got yourself a lively one, Duncan.{S}
 And I was beginning to think the Wardens were all stodgy priests!{S}
 If my ears serve me, your accent comes from the western hills.{S}
 I have only the deepest respect for your people.{S}
 I have always wanted to learn more.{S}
 I do.{S}
 I will make sure to have the finest dwarven brew brought up from the palace cellars... after we have dealt with the Blight, of course.{S}
 I have been to Orzammar.{S}
 King Endrin invited my father to a Grand Proving, long ago.{S}
 How does Endrin fare these days?{S}
 I hope to work with him as well as my father did.{S}
 I doubt Loghain will give me a moment's rest until then.{S}
 I trust you have some spells to help us in the coming battle?{S}
 We have too few mages here, another is always welcome.{S}
 That the Grey Wardens have recruited you says much.{S}
 But I am glad to have it in the battle.{S}
 We have too few mages here.{S}
 From where do you hail?{S}
 I suppose growing up in an alienage would make one mistrustful.{S}
 One day I will see those walls taken down.{S}
 Your people have suffered enough.{S}
 As do I!{S}
 Though I have not been in the palace for some time.{S}
 Do you come from the Alienage?{S}
 You think I care nothing about these things, but I do.{S}
 Your Majesty, I would not have put it so bluntly.{S}
 I will hear more about this matter later.{S}
 For now, we have a war to attend to.{S}
 Allow me to be the first to welcome you to Ostagar.{S}
 We have won three battles against these monsters and tomorrow should be no different.{S}
 There are plenty of darkspawn on the field, but alas, we have seen no sign of an archdemon.{S}
 But I suppose this will have to do.{S}
 I admire you for being so civil to a race that is treated yours so terribly.{S}
 We do sometimes seem experts at fear and treachery.{S}
 Pleased to meet you!{S}
 No need, Duncan.{S}
 I do not think we have ever actually met.{S}
 Your brother has been concerned about him.{S}
 Your brother has already arrived with Highever's men, but we are still awaiting your father.{S}
 Has he fallen ill?{S}
 News from the north has been unreliable.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 Duncan, do you know anything about this?{S}
 Arl Howe has shown himself a traitor and overtaken Highever Castle.{S}
 Had we not escaped, he would have killed us and told you any story he wished.{S}
 How could he think he would get away with such treachery!{S}
 As soon as we are done here, I will turn my army north and bring Howe to justice.{S}
 You have my word.{S}
 But I will need an army to bring him to justice.{S}
 Of that, I have no doubt.{S}
 I apologize, but there is nothing more I can do.{S}
 Nothing can be done until your brother returns, and that will not be until the battle is over.{S}
 I know that will not bring your family back, but Howe will not profit from this.{S}
 Then I will have the mighty Duncan at my side in battle after all!{S}
 The other Wardens told me you have found a promising recruit.{S}
 I take it this is he?{S}
 How much do you know about dwarves, your Majesty?{S}
 You must not have met many members of the noble caste.{S}
 Personally, I could not pick him out of a crowd.{S}
 I do not know and I do not care.{S}
 Do not you have a battle to fight, first?{S}
 I will do my best, of course.{S}
 I do not cast spells on command.{S}
 Are you aware of what your lapdog does, exactly?{S}
 Where do I start?{S}
 You have no idea how bad it is, do you?{S}
 I could not care less for your welcome.{S}
 Yes, I am, and I bring important news.{S}
 My name is <FirstName/>.{S}
 You do not know what is happened?{S}
 He died when our castle was taken.{S}
 There is not anything you can do sooner?{S}
 In the name of Andraste, I bless you today.{S}
 May you find favor in the Maker's eyes.{S}
 So let it be.{S}
 I do.{S}
 Take your hatred and begone!{S}
 Then I bless you, Grey Warden, in the name of Andraste and the Maker above.{S}
 May the Chant of Light carry your name to the ears of our Lord.{S}
 I must perform the Maker's work for those who appreciate it.{S}
 I understand your Joining is complete.{S}
 Keep your worthless mumblings to yourself, priest.{S}
 You administer blessings to elves, do you?{S}
 Does He destroy the homeland of those who will not?{S}
 I do not worship your gods, human.{S}
 I have no objection to the blessing of your god.{S}
 I will do no such thing.{S}
 Keep your blessings to yourself.{S}
 The name's Daveth.{S}
 I was beginning to think they cooked this ritual up just for our benefit.{S}
 Just to give us a good scare?{S}
 No, they do not really seem the type.{S}
 I am told the Blight started in the forest, so the army's here waiting for them to come out.{S}
 Then why do the Grey Wardens only recruit folks who can fight?{S}
 I guess we will have to wait and see.{S}
 Like we have a choice.{S}
 I suppose I could do that.{S}
 I will try to keep my wits about me.{S}
 Anyway, I expect it is time to get back to Duncan.{S}
 That is where I will be, if you need me for anything.{S}
 You take what you get, right?{S}
 I got nowhere else to go after what Duncan saved me from.{S}
 Makes my nose twitch.{S}
 Oh, me and ser knight were just betting on what the third recruit would be.{S}
 Well... in for a silver, in for a crown, as my dear mum always used to say.{S}
 You heard the same speech I did.{S}
 We got everything, so let us go back.{S}
 We do not have the blood yet... not that I relish sticking one of those things just for its blood, right?{S}
 We still have to find those documents.{S}
 I have never heard of a tower that stood for more than ten years in this forest.{S}
 I found them.{S}
 You got a similar tale?{S}
 I gave the garrison the finger while I was walking away.{S}
 Do not know why Duncan wants someone like me.{S}
 You bet your boots I am.{S}
 Besides, it beats getting strung up.{S}
 Little blot you would not even find on a map.{S}
 I have been in Denerim for, what... six years now?{S}
 Who would ever guess <emp>I would</emp> end up a Grey Warden?{S}
 Maybe they did.{S}
 What do you know about this ritual?{S}
 Just do not get too distracted back there.{S}
 I would not be here if I did.{S}
 What did you think I would be?{S}
 What do you think we should do now?{S}
 So what do you think of Duncan?{S}
 So how did the Grey Wardens find you?{S}
 Guess Duncan's got a taste for street rats.{S}
 They have won several battles against the darkspawn here.{S}
 Every recruit must go through a secret ritual we call the Joining in order to become a Grey Warden.{S}
 Feel free to explore the camp here as you wish.{S}
 All I ask is that you do not leave it for the time being.{S}
 There is another Grey Warden in the camp by the name of Alistair.{S}
 When you are ready, seek him out and tell him it is time to summon the other recruits.{S}
 Until then, I have business I must attend to.{S}
 You may find me at the Grey Warden tent on the other side of this bridge, should you need to.{S}
 No, there are two other recruits here already.{S}
 They have been waiting for us to arrive.{S}
 The Joining is dangerous.{S}
 Until then, you must trust that what is done is necessary.{S}
 The Joining is what will cure you of the suffering your tainted blood surely brings you.{S}
 If it had been possible, I would have done it before now.{S}
 The Joining is what will make you a Grey Warden.{S}
 I had hoped he would be back by now.{S}
 Then you will need to locate Alistair and tell him it is time.{S}
 She forced you to sass the mage, did she?{S}
 We do not need to give anyone more ammunition against us.{S}
 Now then, since you are all here, we can begin.{S}
 There was once a Grey Warden archive in the Wilds, abandoned long ago when we could no longer afford to maintain such remote outposts.{S}
 It has recently come to our attention that some scrolls have been left behind, magically sealed to protect them.{S}
 Alistair will guide you to the area you need to search.{S}
 It is possible the scrolls may have been destroyed or even stolen, though the seal's magic should have protected them.{S}
 I do not understand& why leave such things in a ruin if they are so valuable?{S}
 A great many things were assumed that have not held true.{S}
 Promises of support made to the Grey Wardens long ago. <desc>Laughs</desc> Without a doubt.{S}
 Darkspawn are not renowned for their willingness to offer up their blood.{S}
 You must work together to collect the components, however.{S}
 It is as much a part of the Joining as what comes after.{S}
 For the Joining itself.{S}
 I will explain more once you have returned.{S}
 Have you been successful?{S}
 Then you would best start soon.{S}
 You do not want to be in the Wilds when night falls.{S}
 I have had the Circle mages preparing.{S}
 With the blood you have retrieved, we can begin the Joining immediately.{S}
 You will need that courage to face what comes next.{S}
 Let me be very clear on that point.{S}
 Whether you were conscripted or recruited, you were chosen because you are needed.{S}
 I will not lie; we Grey Wardens pay a heavy price to become what we are.{S}
 Fate may decree that you pay your price now rather than later.{S}
 You would not have been chosen, however, if I did not think you had a chance to survive.{S}
 Let us go, then.{S}
 I am anxious to see this Joining now.{S}
 Let us have it done.{S}
 Then let us begin.{S}
 Alistair, take them to the old temple.{S}
 There was a woman at the tower and her mother had the scrolls.{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 We have the scrolls; let us focus on the Joining.{S}
 Now all we need is the darkspawn blood... unless you think it is too dangerous, Alistair.{S}
 No, but maybe you should know how we found these treaties.{S}
 You do not have much time before nightfall.{S}
 Did you find the archive?{S}
 Then I suggest you get back out there.{S}
 We encountered a creepy woman named Morrigan who says her mother has them, but I do not trust her.{S}
 What are she and her mother doing in the Wilds?{S}
 But she... made no threats, and seemed helpful.{S}
 Then perhaps you should see if she spoke the truth, and not give up just out of suspicion.{S}
 At last we come to the Joining.{S}
 As the first Grey Wardens did before us, as we did before you. <emp>This</emp> is the source of our power and our victory.{S}
 Those who survive the Joining become immune to the taint.{S}
 We can sense it in the darkspawn and use it to slay the archdemon.{S}
 The meeting is to the west, down the stairs.{S}
 We speak only a few words prior to the Joining, but these words have been said since the first.{S}
 Join us, brothers and sisters.{S}
 Join us in the shadows where we stand, vigilant.{S}
 Join us as we carry the duty that cannot be forsworn.{S}
 And should you perish, know that your sacrifice will not be forgotten and that one day we shall join you.{S}
 In my Joining, only one of us died, but it was... horrible.{S}
 I am glad at least one of you made it through.{S}
 Such is what it takes to be a Grey Warden.{S}
 It brought me no pleasure to end his life.{S}
 Thankfully, you stand here as proof they are not all made in vain.{S}
 Did you have dreams?{S}
 I had terrible dreams after my Joining.{S}
 Such dreams come when you begin to sense the darkspawn, as we all do.{S}
 Take some time.{S}
 When you are ready, I would like you to accompany me to a meeting with the king.{S}
 I am not sure why he has requested your presence.{S}
 So he needs two Grey Wardens standing up there holding the torch.{S}
 You will need to cross the gorge and head through the gate and up to the tower entrance.{S}
 Then I must join the others.{S}
 If you are needed, we will send word.{S}
 Yet you do not sound very reassured.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 Am I the only recruit you have?{S}
 I need to find Fergus.{S}
 Why did not you tell me about this cure before?{S}
 He did not seem to take the darkspawn very seriously.{S}
 I am ready to begin the Joining ritual.{S}
 Find the archive and three vials of blood.{S}
 How will we find this archive?{S}
 What do we need darkspawn blood for?{S}
 We have.{S}
 And what if we have second thoughts?{S}
 I have no problem facing what is to come.{S}
 Is that why the Joining is so secret?{S}
 We have retrieved the scrolls, but not the blood yet.{S}
 We have the blood, but not the scrolls.{S}
 What kind of meeting?{S}
 When do we light the beacon?{S}
 I know what I have to do.{S}
 Can we join the battle afterwards?{S}
 You are Duncan's newest recruit, are you not?{S}
 Allow me to introduce myself.{S}
 Mages have always helped in past Blights.{S}
 Well met, and good luck to you on the battlefield.{S}
 And I am sure you have plenty of that to offer.{S}
 He does seem to find his enthusiasm easily, though.{S}
 Still, we have our parts to play.{S}
 To defeat the darkspawn, we have to work together.{S}
 Well, do not let this old mage distract you from your duties.{S}
 I am sure Duncan has much for you to do.{S}
 Do you?{S}
 Do you know about the connection between them and the Fade, for example?{S}
 I wonder... how much do you know of the connection between darkspawn and the Fade?{S}
 But when mages from the Tevinter Imperium found a way into the City, it was tainted with their sin.{S}
 It may be allegory, meant to teach us that our own evil causes human suffering.{S}
 It is worked well for me in the past.{S}
 Why would you need advice from an elder?{S}
 But I am certain Duncan has more for you to do than talk to me.{S}
 You are Duncan's newest recruit, are you not?{S}
 What do we have here?{S}
 I heard the new Grey Warden recruit was from the Circle.{S}
 Irving always said you had promise.{S}
 Mages have helped defeat every Blight.{S}
 Ah, child... you have been taught well.{S}
 Use what you know and have faith in yourself.{S}
 Mages have always been pivotal in the fight against the darkspawn.{S}
 Good, you will need them when you face the darkspawn.{S}
 I do not believe I ever mentored you, and no doubt you do not remember meeting me.{S}
 I do not believe we have met, but I have certainly heard a lot about your talent.{S}
 My name is Wynne, and I congratulate you on your Harrowing.{S}
 Marvelous work, the Fade is a dangerous place.{S}
 Oh-ho, you know all there is to know already, do you?{S}
 Do not the Grey Wardens need you?{S}
 Off you go, I have preparations to make for the battle, and I will not be distracted.{S}
 Pleased to meet you.{S}
 I have seen quite a few mages today.{S}
 I should get going.{S}
 Do you know much about darkspawn?{S}
 You have faced darkspawn before?{S}
 What does the Fade have to do with anything?{S}
 I have heard that story before.{S}
 Do not you have any proper advice?{S}
 I did not expect to see so many people from the Circle.{S}
 I hope I do not disappoint anyone.{S}
 How do you know me?{S}
 I found it terrifying, to be honest.{S}
 Indeed, the Circle makes tranquil those with insufficient skill to become a mage.{S}
 We lose our emotions, but can still play a vital role in the Circle.{S}
 The brand is a minor price to pay.{S}
 I am pleased to serve as a merchant and artisan, and people do not fear me as they do mages.{S}
 I am of the Circle of Magi, but instead of casting spells and reading tomes, I spend my time enchanting.{S}
 Enchantment provides the Circle its wealth.{S}
 Certainly, we would not get by on charity.{S}
 Allow me to put it this way.{S}
 Do you know why those with magical talent are feared?{S}
 Thus, I was made tranquil.{S}
 I am content to serve in my role.{S}
 Do you not recognize my brand, good mage?{S}
 You must be familiar with the Tranquil who serve there.{S}
 You said you were made tranquil?{S}
 How is someone made tranquil?{S}
 You Grey Wardens get to ride with the king while I am left with the drudgery of guarding this deserter.{S}
 They should have just hanged him.{S}
 Put his head on a pike as an example.{S}
 Maybe you could find me some ale?{S}
 Just do not give him nothing, and do not try lettin' him go.{S}
 I can not just let him go, can I?{S}
 The army will figure out what to do with him.{S}
 Probably just waiting for someone important to make a decision.{S}
 Then they will hang him, I expect, and I can do something else.{S}
 Why does anyone want to desert?{S}
 'Cause he thinks he is going to die and he is a bloody coward, that is why.{S}
 Either that or he is been listening to a bunch of hogwash about how the darkspawn'll drag you off and eat you.{S}
 They say he was recruited before the war, up in Denerim.{S}
 Probably figured he would never have to fight if he served the king, right?{S}
 Do not you have anything better to do?{S}
 Do not expect it was an enlightening conversation.{S}
 You have got better things to do than speakin' to prisoners, I hope.{S}
 Did he, now?{S}
 Since nobody sends me nothing to feed him with, the only way he will get that is if I give him <emp>mine</emp>.{S}
 It is not up to me to make sure he gets fed.{S}
 I guess the poor fella could stand to have one meal in his belly before he hangs.{S}
 Do not know why you care.{S}
 I had nothin' to do with it, though.{S}
 If anyone asks why he is burpin', I am gonna say it was you, just so you know.{S}
 He will get his day to plead his case, or he will not.{S}
 You got your food and water, now off with you.{S}
 What in Andraste's name did you do that for?{S}
 Just because yer a Grey Warden does not give you the right to go and kill anyone you please!{S}
 You will have to explain yerself to <emp>someone</emp>.{S}
 You got some nerve, Grey Warden or no.{S}
 I suppose you did, at that.{S}
 You killed my only prisoner, so I think I will take a nap.{S}
 Why did he want to desert?{S}
 What if I buy it?{S}
 I do not have to explain myself to you.{S}
 He got what he deserved.{S}
 I had to defend myself.{S}
 You must be the third recruit we have heard about?{S}
 Ser Jory is my name.{S}
 I hail from Redcliffe, where I served as knight under the command of Arl Eamon.{S}
 You have the bearing of a man who knows how to fight.{S}
 I... had heard mages joined but...{S}
 I had not... that is...{S}
 I have always found magic unnerving.{S}
 I was not aware they permitted women to join the Grey Wardens.{S}
 None of those I have seen thus far have been.{S}
 I have only seen a few of your folk in the castle, dealing with the smithy.{S}
 Since the Grey Wardens protect human lands, I guessed a dwarf would not wish to join.{S}
 I wasn't aware elves could join the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Clearly, the Grey Wardens pick their recruits on their merits.{S}
 I did not mean to offend you.{S}
 Clearly, your skills have impressed Duncan.{S}
 I hope we are both lucky enough to eventually join the Wardens.{S}
 Is it not thrilling to be given that chance?{S}
 I fought hard to get here.{S}
 Tell me, has anyone told you what this Joining ritual entails?{S}
 I had no idea there were more tests after getting recruited.{S}
 I suppose since you are finally here I would best get back to Duncan.{S}
 We should see what Duncan wants us to do next, do not you think?{S}
 We need to find those documents and the darkspawn blood.{S}
 If we are fortunate, we have completed the Joining and all passed.{S}
 We still need the darkspawn blood, though I wonder about its purpose.{S}
 We should find those documents.{S}
 He has a seemingly impossible task, with a scarce handful of Grey Wardens, yet he does not complain or flinch from his duty.{S}
 Last month, Duncan visited Highever, and the bann held a tournament in his honor.{S}
 We married only a year ago, and she is heavy with child now.{S}
 Ferelden needs my blade, and I shall not falter.{S}
 I hail from Redcliffe, but Duncan recruited me in Highever, a city off the northern coast.{S}
 Have you traveled there?{S}
 It was in Highever that I met my Helena.{S}
 She has the most beautiful eyes, my Helena.{S}
 For years, I found any excuse to return there.{S}
 We married a year ago.{S}
 Arl Eamon gave me leave to serve in Highever, but I was attempting to persuade Helena to come to Redcliffe with me.{S}
 At least, until I was recruited.{S}
 You have heard about me?{S}
 No, I have never been a soldier.{S}
 I was not a soldier, but my father did train me to fight.{S}
 There is no need to cower, fool.{S}
 I can handle myself.{S}
 Do you have a problem with that?{S}
 Maybe they need to start letting fewer humans in.{S}
 I would not be here if I had a choice in the matter.{S}
 What do you think of Duncan?{S}
 How did the Grey Wardens find you?{S}
 As a mage, you would know more of such matters than I do.{S}
 I do not know and do not ask.{S}
 What are they doing in the Fade?{S}
 He could not contain his excitement over your meeting.{S}
 His majesty could not contain his excitement after your meeting.{S}
 Are you aware his father brought your order back to Ferelden?{S}
 They have an honored place in the hearts of our people.{S}
 But Maric would have understood that it takes more than legends to win a battle.{S}
 You have some experience to bring to the Wardens, do you?{S}
 You do not seem half as green as most of the men here.{S}
 I do not suppose you will be riding into the thick of battle with the rest of your fellows, will you?{S}
 If Cailan has his way, you will.{S}
 Do not let anyone tell you that you do not belong.{S}
 The first Warden Maric brought to Ferelden was a woman.{S}
 Best warrior I have ever seen.{S}
 Smart of the Grey Wardens to look for new recruits in Orzammar.{S}
 Have I seen you at the Landsmeet?{S}
 How do you know that?{S}
 Yes, I have heard that.{S}
 No, I did not know that.{S}
 I do not suppose you have come to sentence me.{S}
 I do not suppose you have a bit of kindness in you?{S}
 I bet there is no arguing them out of it, though--armies are funny that way.{S}
 I wasn't deserting, but when you catch someone sneakin' around camp in the middle of the night, what else are you gonna think?{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 They will not listen to you, no matter what you think.{S}
 Hope that does not spoil your opinion of me.{S}
 I am still hungry enough to eat my shoe. <desc>Laughs</desc> You are a funny one.{S}
 They would not listen to some elf, unless you are volunteering to take my place in here.{S}
 How about you marry me instead?{S}
 At least I could get a kiss before they hang me. <desc>Laughs</desc> You are a funny one.{S}
 They would not listen to some dwarf, no matter what you think.{S}
 It is not that I would not have, but I wasn't then.{S}
 Because you might want something I do not need.{S}
 Them Circle wizards got a chest they keep things in, magical things... and I stole the key.{S}
 I got one of them drunk, took his key, and tried to sneak to the chest.{S}
 I can not use it from here, but I would trade you for some food and water.{S}
 Yeah, well, do you want the key or not?{S}
 But... you can not do that?!{S}
 I already told you, I will give you the key to the mage's chest.{S}
 He is still got some dinner; I saw him put it in his coat.{S}
 No, they put someone like me in a cage until someone important has time to decide what to do with me.{S}
 Brought me some food, have you?{S}
 Use it in good health, heh.{S}
 At least if I am hanged, I will have a little weight on me.{S}
 Did you desert?{S}
 It matters to me, if your cause is just.{S}
 They did not find the key when you were arrested?{S}
 I need to go.{S}
 And if I have?{S}
 No, I haven't brought you anything.{S}
 I will take that. <act>Kill him and take the key.</act>{S}
 Here is some food. <act>Give the food to the prisoner.</act>{S}
 Blast it, where did she go?{S}
 That suit better be patched up when she gets back, or by the Maker, I will--{S}
 Did you come for supplies?{S}
 Let me know what you would like.{S}
 It is for the king's men, but you Grey Wardens can buy what you need for a modest price.{S}
 I also have some... goods on the side I can provide.{S}
 To keep morale up, you understand.{S}
 So long as you keep it quiet.{S}
 I am sure you have better things to do than run errands for me.{S}
 I can find her myself.{S}
 Hello again, is there something you need?{S}
 Can not say I have, no.{S}
 What kind of supplies do you have?{S}
 Let me see your "other goods."{S}
 Do you need help tracking this girl down?{S}
 I am sorry, is there something you needed?{S}
 You have a message for me?{S}
 Are you the one I am supposed to give Ser Garlen's sword to?{S}
 Because I think the smith's done with it.{S}
 I am afraid I can not do that.{S}
 I am sorry, but I do not know who that is.{S}
 I am here with the king's attendants, so I do not know everyone.{S}
 You... you tried to trick me!{S}
 Do you have any idea how much trouble I would be in if I gave Ser Garlen's sword away?{S}
 I am sorry, but& I need some kind of proof from Ser Garlen before I hand it over.{S}
 I can not read, but...{S}
 I do not know what came over me, it is...{S}
 Please take the sword to him.{S}
 And, err... who do I say I gave it to?{S}
 I am begging you; do not do this!{S}
 I give up.{S}
 If you fall behind, you get the switch from the quartermaster!{S}
 Are you the new Grey Warden recruit?{S}
 You need something now?{S}
 You are just going to get me in trouble!{S}
 Not from you. <act>Lie</act> Yes, I do.{S}
 No, I need you to bring a message to Teyrn Loghain.{S}
 Could you bring a message to Ser Alistair, then?{S}
 No, I need you to bring a message to Alistair.{S}
 Could you bring a message to Teyrn Loghain, then?{S}
 Yes, you are supposed to give the sword to me.{S}
 I will do that, then.{S}
 I have a note. <act>Hand him a piece of paper.</act>{S}
 And a Warden, too, do not forget.{S}
 Just give me the sword, and make up whatever story you like.{S}
 What do I care?{S}
 I heard they made you a Grey Warden.{S}
 You are one of Duncan's new recruits, correct?{S}
 I can not let you through to the Korcari Wilds until he gives the word.{S}
 They say the Great Blight began deep within its forests.{S}
 One of our scouting patrols has been gone for three days.{S}
 We are taking bets on who got them first: the darkspawn, or the witches of the Wilds.{S}
 Took her head right off, so they say.{S}
 No doubt those patrols met some darkspawn...{S}
 At any rate, that is why Duncan does not want you wandering out without his say-so.{S}
 I do not think it is my place to discuss his activities.{S}
 Do not be absurd!{S}
 He can not give an audience to everyone who walks up here, you know.{S}
 I did not know.{S}
 Hold on, I will get him.{S}
 I suppose you have a message for him.{S}
 Hold on, then...{S}
 He and the king have been arguing for days.{S}
 The teyrn's known the king since he was swaddled, so they do not stand on ceremony.{S}
 Personally, I think the king should do what Teyrn Loghain tells him.{S}
 Without the teyrn, we would not be doing as well here as we are.{S}
 He helped free Ferelden.{S}
 King Maric rewarded him by making him a teyrn.{S}
 Without Loghain, you can bet the king would not be winning against these darkspawn.{S}
 What is he doing?{S}
 I suppose I do, but it would not be prudent to discuss the king's business with you.{S}
 I suppose I do, though he is spending most of his time with the Grey Wardens.{S}
 The king wants to end the Blight with a single huge battle the bards will sing of for centuries.{S}
 Do you think that is possible?{S}
 He will do what the king wants in the end, though.{S}
 He holds them in high regard, you know, as his father did.{S}
 I have my doubts.{S}
 Do you know where the king is?{S}
 I could use some help.{S}
 I have medicine that might help, but I need him muzzled first.{S}
 Dogs and I do not get along.{S}
 You do it, if you are so eager.{S}
 Let me know if you change your mind.{S}
 Otherwise, I will have to put him down.{S}
 They can remember and carry out complex orders.{S}
 We can try.{S}
 But first we need to muzzle and medicate him.{S}
 Go in the pen and let him smell you.{S}
 Let us hope this works.{S}
 I would really hate to have to put him down.{S}
 Have you changed your mind?{S}
 If you are going to put the dog down, just do it.{S}
 I do not like to see him suffer.{S}
 I gave you the muzzle.{S}
 Go in and see if you can calm or subdue the dog, then you will be able to put it on him.{S}
 Well done!{S}
 Now I can treat the dog properly--poor fellow.{S}
 There is a particular herb I could use to improve the dog's chances.{S}
 If you happen across it, I could use it.{S}
 If he does not get it, chances are he will need to be put down.{S}
 And I have many other hounds under my care.{S}
 As it is, if we can get this hound better, we can re-imprint him on someone.{S}
 Very well, I will do what I can, but I am not optimistic.{S}
 In the meantime, I will begin treating our poor friend.{S}
 Unless I get that herb I told you about, there is not much hope.{S}
 I hope you do.{S}
 If he does not show improvement by then... well, we will see.{S}
 Let me see... yes, that is exactly it, wonderful!{S}
 Give me a moment and I will make this into an ointment.{S}
 There is enough ointment for him to make a full recovery.{S}
 Come back after the battle and just... take another look.{S}
 As I said, come back after the battle's done.{S}
 Well, what is done is done.{S}
 The mabari's dead and probably spared a good deal of pain.{S}
 I will give it a shot.{S}
 Why do you think I could muzzle him?{S}
 I do not know anything about dogs.{S}
 Where in the Wilds would I find this flower?{S}
 Why do not you get it yourself?{S}
 Do you think I have nothing better to do?{S}
 I will see if I can find one.{S}
 I will see if I can find it.{S}
 Where in the Wilds can I find this flower?{S}
 You should put the dog out of its misery.{S}
 I am not sure I would have time to care for him.{S}
 The tower... it is been taken!{S}
 Taken how?{S}
 Then we have to get to the beacon and light it ourselves!{S}
 I have got to& return to camp&{S}
 "We do not have time?"{S}
 What, you have an urgent meeting somewhere?{S}
 You are doing the Joining, not me.{S}
 So, I have time to bandage injured strangers.{S}
 I will do just that.{S}
 It will just take a second.{S}
 Does the word "insane" mean anything to you?{S}
 Remind me not to get injured anywhere near you.{S}
 I have got to get out of here!{S}
 If you just... bandage me up, I... can get back myself.{S}
 We do not have time for this.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 We have work to do, and this is not it.{S}
 Shut up and do what I say.{S}
 I said we do not have time for this.{S}
 Let us try to bandage him up, at least.{S}
 We can take you back.{S}
 Try to avoid falling into any mud pits.{S}
 You will have to face him.{S}
 We need to overthrow Loghain.{S}
 I do not know, there is still so much to do.{S}
 You face death every day, you know you are unlikely to live long... does it frighten you?{S}
 To tell the truth, I do not know if I could do what you do.{S}
 And perhaps one day they will forget, but it will not erase what you did.{S}
 And nothing in this world will ever make that untrue.{S}
 I would gladly give my life for others.{S}
 I am honored to have served with you.{S}
 I will do what I have to, because it is my duty.{S}
 But you will find that taking joy in what you do is the best reward of all.{S}
 I see you have kept your sense of humor through all this.{S}
 It will serve you well, in the coming days.{S}
 King Cailan <emp>Find three vials of darkspawn blood</emp>{S}
 Duncan has asked Alistair to lead you, Ser Jory, and Daveth into the Korcari Wilds to find stray darkspawn and collect three vials of their blood.{S}
 This blood will be used in the secretive Joining ritual. <emp>Find three vials of darkspawn blood</emp>{S}
 You have successfully obtained three vials of darkspawn blood.{S}
 Once you find the Grey Warden treaties, you can return to Duncan.{S}
 You have successfully obtained three vials of darkspawn blood.{S}
 As a second task for the Joining ritual, Duncan has asked Alistair to find a ruined Grey Warden outpost in the Wilds.{S}
 Supposedly, it contains a cache of old and important treaties that need to be recovered.{S}
 You have recovered the treaties.{S}
 You should return to Duncan once you have acquired enough darkspawn blood.{S}
 You have recovered the Grey Warden treaties. <emp>Find the Grey Warden, Alistair</emp>{S}
 You have arrived at the king's camp, just outside the Korcari Wilds in the ruin known as Ostagar.{S}
 Duncan has told you that when you are ready to begin the Joining, you should seek out the Grey Warden named Alistair somewhere in camp.{S}
 You found and spoke to the Grey Warden, Alistair, as Duncan had requested.{S}
 Joining the Grey Wardens <emp>Join Duncan at the strategy meeting</emp>{S}
 You have survived the Joining and are now a Grey Warden!{S}
 When you are ready, join Duncan at the strategy meeting.{S}
 Apparently, the king wishes to meet with you again.{S}
 You attended King Cailan's strategy meeting, where the upcoming battle was discussed.{S}
 After the Joining <emp>Light the beacon at the top of the Tower of Ishal</emp>{S}
 King Cailan has asked you and Alistair to light the beacon to signal when the darkspawn horde have committed themselves to the battle.{S}
 You lit the beacon as you were told to, but the reinforcements did not come.{S}
 The prisoner at the king's camp has begged you for some food.{S}
 You waited until night had fallen and used the prisoner's key to open the mages' chest.{S}
 Inside, you found a number of useful items.{S}
 The kennel master at the king's camp has a mabari, a hound bred for intelligence and combat ability.{S}
 It has been poisoned by darkspawn blood.{S}
 You have offered to put the hound out of his misery. <emp>Gather the strange flower from the Wilds</emp>{S}
 The kennel master at the king's camp has a mabari, a hound bred for intelligence and combat ability.{S}
 It has been poisoned by darkspawn blood.{S}
 You have muzzled the hound, but the kennel master needs a flower that grows in the Wilds to treat him properly.{S}
 The mabari hound has been treated with the flower you found, and will recover within a day or two.{S}
 You put the sick mabari out of his misery.{S}
 You have taken a sizable bribe from Vaughan and left the women to "entertain" him and his men.{S}
 You are quite taken with each other, are not you?{S}
 It is hard not to notice the doe-eyed looks he gives you, especially when he thinks no one's watching.{S}
 It is almost too sweet for my tastes, and I am an old lady who should be making lace hearts and fuzzy blankets with animal motifs.{S}
 I have seen the way she looks at you, the familiarity with which you speak, how she always finds a way to place herself next to you.{S}
 I almost wish I did not.{S}
 Half of us are not getting any sleep, the way you two carry on all night.{S}
 I do not see how this concerns you.{S}
 No, I will not be making socks with pom-poms for you anytime soon, but that is hardly my point.{S}
 I have noticed your blossoming relationship, and I wanted to ask you where you thought it was going.{S}
 I would hate to see him get hurt.{S}
 You have responsibilities which supercede your personal desires.{S}
 You may be forced to make a choice between saving your love and saving everyone else, and then what would you do?{S}
 You may have to, to save one or both of you unnecessary anguish later on.{S}
 Leliana is a remarkable girl, sincere and guileless, and she has opened her heart to you.{S}
 It seems he only ever has one thing on his mind.{S}
 She will use you for her own ends.{S}
 Alistair does not want to be king.{S}
 You are making things sound more dire than they are.{S}
 I do not want to have to make that choice.{S}
 What am I supposed to do, tell Alistair to go away?{S}
 What am I supposed to do, tell Leliana to go away?{S}
 What am I supposed to do, tell Zevran to go away?{S}
 What am I supposed to do, tell Morrigan to go away?{S}
 I can handle my responsibilities and my relationships.{S}
 Not worried about me getting hurt?{S}
 We are just taking it one day at a time.{S}
 I do not appreciate your scrutiny.{S}
 Maybe you should go make a fuzzy blanket and leave us alone.{S}
 You cannot take anything for granted.{S}
 I apologize if I have offended, I was just trying to point out why this affair may be a bad idea.{S}
 Are you trying to get me to end this?{S}
 I will consider what you have said.{S}
 Alistair and I can handle whatever comes our way.{S}
 Leliana and I can handle whatever comes our way.{S}
 Zevran and I can handle whatever comes our way.{S}
 Morrigan and I can handle whatever comes our way.{S}
 Keep your nose out of this.{S}
 I am not giving up what we have, no matter what you say.{S}
 I am just trying to minimize the suffering that may come to either of you.{S}
 I have given my advice.{S}
 Do with it what you will.{S}
 I know more about love's enchantment and its perils than I care to tell, but perhaps this is one lesson that cannot be taught.{S}
 You have responsibilities which supercede your personal desires.{S}
 You have responsibilities and I fear you will neglect them.{S}
 What do you know of love?{S}
 You have never left the Circle.{S}
 Zevran is special, and I have fun with him.{S}
 I need to be myself sometimes.{S}
 You do not know her.{S}
 Everyone has responsibility.{S}
 As a Grey Warden, you have more than most.{S}
 The title is not a coat that you cast aside at the end of the day.{S}
 Why do you care so much anyway?{S}
 I am going to keep Zev around, no matter what you say.{S}
 She can certainly try, but she will fail.{S}
 She does do that, does not she?{S}
 We will try to keep it down next time.{S}
 It is so easy to get to you.{S}
 I have watched you for a time and... perhaps I was wrong.{S}
 He seems less guarded when in your company, allows himself to relax.{S}
 What you have may not last forever; death and duty may part you, but love's worthiness is not diminished because of that.{S}
 I should have seen this before.{S}
 Instead, you learn to cherish every precious moment that you spend together, knowing that it may be the last.{S}
 And for those of us watching... well, it brings warmth to these old bones to know that something so beautiful can be found in the midst of chaos and strife.{S}
 I think she feels she is truly found her place with you, that after all her wanderings, she is finally home.{S}
 Perhaps he just allowed you to see it.{S}
 It does not happen often but I see her smile to herself, sometimes, when she watches you.{S}
 Have you changed your mind about Alistair and me?{S}
 You had better be sorry.{S}
 Are you trying to apologize for what you said?{S}
 But I have seen it from the start.{S}
 Does she?{S}
 I have to tease her now.{S}
 Have you changed your mind about Leliana and me?{S}
 Have you changed your mind about Zevran and me?{S}
 Have you changed your mind about Morrigan and me?{S}
 I will never be able to repay you for what you have done for me.{S}
 It was you who asked me if I had any regrets.{S}
 Still, it is a good thing you decided to seek Aneirin out.{S}
 Finding Aneirin allowed me to bring that chapter of my life to a close.{S}
 I feel free... a great weight has been lifted off my heart.{S}
 This moment... it feels like the moment before the sunrise, when all the world is still, holding its breath waiting for first light...{S}
 Orzammar Proving{S}
 What do you want to have done?{S}
 I am honored to serve you, your Highness.{S}
 Nothing here rivals your amazing Aeducan armor, but if you wish something made...{S}
 You know very well House Aeducan has its own royal armorers.{S}
 I buy only the finest iron ore, and personally oversee the armor's crafting by the most skillful of the Smith Caste.{S}
 Let us leave, Gorim.{S}
 Let us leave.{S}
 Tell me about the armor you make.{S}
 It looks as if the heads of House Bemot and Meino are keeping your father busy.{S}
 I have always said so.{S}
 If I had a daughter, I would give her to you and make you the noble you deserve to be.{S}
 I would never do such a thing!{S}
 First let me congratulate you on your commission.{S}
 It does great honor to your house.{S}
 There is a vote coming before the Assembly next week, and a word from you could go a long way towards helping our cause.{S}
 Well, you do cut to the point, do not you?{S}
 You will be quite a shock if you ever join the Assembly.{S}
 I have no desire to obligate you or force your hand.{S}
 Lost to the Stone, air-touched, and so forth.{S}
 I seek only to remedy an injustice, to retie the bonds of anyone who can trace himself to one of the noble houses, wherever he may live.{S}
 Please, agree to speak for this noble cause.{S}
 They are honorable and... um... <desc>Sigh</desc> Let us be honest.{S}
 I do not care a whit for those who have wandered from the Stone.{S}
 She has a cousin, a useless sort, but she is quite fond of him.{S}
 He joined a speculative venture to the surface, hoping to make his fortune, and went bust.{S}
 Now he wishes to come home, but he cannot, for he has no house and would be casteless.{S}
 For my wife's sake, I take up his cause.{S}
 I keep my ears to the Stone, my lord.{S}
 If hard currency is what you wish, hard currency is what you will have.{S}
 How does a hundred sovereigns sound?{S}
 When your father presents you to the noble houses, I will ask for your opinion on the matter.{S}
 You have merely to say that you feel our surface brothers should be returned their noble rights.{S}
 I keep my ears to the Stone, my lady.{S}
 Oh, I would never ask a favor with nothing given in return.{S}
 All I ask is an open mind.{S}
 And of course, I do not presume to ask for something with nothing given in return.{S}
 No, I surely did not.{S}
 Let us just pretend we spent another ten minutes wishing good things on each other's houses, yes?{S}
 Of course, I did not stop you just to express my loyal affections... <desc>Laughs</desc> You are a clever one, always have been.{S}
 You have returned.{S}
 Might you have time to talk now?{S}
 Well, when you do...{S}
 Could it be you have changed your mind?{S}
 You have my thanks.{S}
 And what senile prattle did she have to share?{S}
 I shan't keep you.{S}
 Of course she did.{S}
 She has sought revenge since I thwarted her plan to use orphan children as forced labor for her house.{S}
 Do not let her distract you.{S}
 Well played, your Highness.{S}
 You haven't made a friend here today.{S}
 You have won.{S}
 Do not be stupid about it.{S}
 We shall see what the future holds.{S}
 Now, let me be.{S}
 Our Lord Aeducan has challenged the honor of Lord Dace!{S}
 My son is already testing his reach?{S}
 My lord, are you sure you wish to do this?{S}
 You realize that it is Lord Dace's son Mandar, a formidable duelist, who will defend the honor of House Dace in a Proving?{S}
 There is to be a Proving, then.{S}
 Let the ancestors judge who has the right of their cause!{S}
 To the Proving Grounds!{S}
 My lady, are you sure you wish to do this?{S}
 Our Lady Aeducan has challenged the honor of Lord Dace!{S}
 What would that do besides get you cast into the Deep Roads or put down like a beast?{S}
 Do you have even the slightest idea who you are talking to?{S}
 You have not made a friend here today.{S}
 That is the way the games of the Assembly are played.{S}
 I was warned you had a clever turn of mind.{S}
 Something to do with tomorrow's battle.{S}
 Now, I must be off to prepare for tomorrow.{S}
 Do excuse me.{S}
 The chamberlain at my estates will pay you after the battle tomorrow.{S}
 Gorim, how much time do I have?{S}
 You did.{S}
 Get to the point.{S}
 Why so interested in this particular cause?{S}
 What do I get in return?{S}
 What can I do?{S}
 You have a deal.{S}
 What do I do?{S}
 What do you need me to do?{S}
 It is the right thing to do.{S}
 You know I do not do favors, Lord Dace.{S}
 I do not play politics.{S}
 What cause?{S}
 You did not stop me to exchange pleasantries.{S}
 Let us make this fast.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 I have.{S}
 I have no idea, but she was upset.{S}
 She said you were playing me false.{S}
 I have spoken to Lady Helmi.{S}
 Your plan would have forced my house to pay surface debts.{S}
 Gorim, what do you know of this Mandar?{S}
 Bring him on.{S}
 Get out of my sight.{S}
 You are lucky I did not just kill you.{S}
 One who needs to be leaving.{S}
 I have no time for this.{S}
 What about your part of the deal?{S}
 I thought the darkspawn had got you for sure.{S}
 Well, abandoned is not vacant, apparently.{S}
 Still, two months ago, we could not get within a mile of this place.{S}
 I will follow your lead, Commander.{S}
 Then I will make sure I am behind you if we are swarmed.{S}
 Let us get moving, then.{S}
 I thought these tunnels were mostly abandoned.{S}
 Have you seen the thaig door yet?{S}
 We got lucky.{S}
 We need more Grey Wardens like you.{S}
 A Blight has begun.{S}
 Grey Wardens go where they are needed most.{S}
 I have my doubts he will relent, but there is always hope.{S}
 Show the darkspawn what your people are made of.{S}
 Being a Grey Warden means abandoning all ties to your old life.{S}
 Over the centuries, many dwarves have made names for themselves in our order.{S}
 A pity, since dwarven warriors have the most experience fighting darkspawn. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Alas, I do not think he would take kindly to that suggestion.{S}
 Your humility aside, I have no doubt you will be a fighter of great renown.{S}
 I have no doubt it is deserved.{S}
 I have had the opportunity to recently meet with your father.{S}
 Do you have a moment now?{S}
 Have you been waiting for me?{S}
 I do not know as much as I should about the Grey Wardens.{S}
 I shall take my leave of you.{S}
 Could I join the Grey Wardens and still stay in Orzammar?{S}
 I wish I could join you.{S}
 What does joining entail?{S}
 I wonder if Father would allow me to join you.{S}
 My father does me great honor.{S}
 Frandlin Ivo is my pick for the easy win!{S}
 I wonder if Ser Blackstone will make an appearance?{S}
 All are equal in the Proving ring!{S}
 Let us see some blood!{S}
 You made it, Commander.{S}
 Did you run afoul of any darkspawn?{S}
 Well, thank the Stone you got through.{S}
 Most tunnels are dead ends.{S}
 May today's battles bring us even more glory.{S}
 I will take rear guard.{S}
 Would that I had been good enough to beat you.{S}
 We did not expect any activity in these tunnels at all.{S}
 Did you hear that?{S}
 Let us move.{S}
 Let us be cautious, then.{S}
 Were not you at the Proving yesterday?{S}
 Nothing we could not handle.{S}
 I yearn to face the darkspawn and prove my worth as your second.{S}
 I am here to serve.{S}
 I will do my best.{S}
 May the Stone support us, and the ancestors look down with pride.{S}
 Not much that you do not already know.{S}
 My father's father was a great hero of the Deep Roads excursions and raised the family to the top of the Warrior Caste.{S}
 He was even nominated to join the Assembly and found a noble house, but the honor was in the nomination; he wasn't afforded a single vote.{S}
 My father served your father for many years, and now I serve you.{S}
 Why did you take that scholar's money?{S}
 You do not need it.{S}
 How can I serve, then?{S}
 What did you think of the Grey Warden?{S}
 You have always been a good judge of character.{S}
 I suppose the life of a Grey Warden does not offer many opportunities for social graces.{S}
 We have fought darkspawn since time unremembered, and we will keep doing so.{S}
 I do not know that I trust Lord Dace.{S}
 Your father has allowed the merchants to show their wares in the Diamond Quarter during these celebrations.{S}
 If we are going to have some fun, we should go to the Provings now.{S}
 Just try not to embarrass me.{S}
 You will do fine.{S}
 What do you mean, escape?{S}
 Let us go see the Provings first.{S}
 We should be able to sense the darkspawn and avoid them once the way is open.{S}
 Do not you think it looks a little... cowardly to allow these humans to take our place where the fighting is thickest?{S}
 Take your men and make ready.{S}
 Harrowmont and I need to have words with your sibling.{S}
 Your father has a special mission for you.{S}
 The door leads to a thaig abandoned long ago by your ancestors.{S}
 The darkspawn have made it impossible to reach.{S}
 We have sent two scouts ahead to make sure the tunnels are cleared, but be careful.{S}
 One of the scouts will meet you at the first crossroads you come to; the second will be further in.{S}
 When you get to the door, use your signet ring to open it.{S}
 The crossroads where you meet the first scout will be the rendezvous point.{S}
 There may be countless other treasures, but only the shield matters.{S}
 As always, Gorim will accompany you, and we have sent scouts ahead.{S}
 Where do we go from there?{S}
 Meet the scouts, find the door, grab the shield.{S}
 Got it.{S}
 The Shield of Aeducan would be quite the find.{S}
 I am supposed to do this alone?{S}
 Your mother would melt the Stone if she knew what you just did.{S}
 Do not mock me, boy.{S}
 Lord Dace is playing you false.{S}
 Do not say you were not warned.{S}
 If you are to play in the games of the Assembly, make sure you know the motivations of the players.{S}
 Lord Dace backed the merchant guild, pouring a great deal of money into the venture.{S}
 The surface guild has no way to repay the investment.{S}
 But it does have several leading members who are descended from noble houses.{S}
 Let me spell it out for you.{S}
 Your house and mine would be forced to pay the surfacers' kin debts.{S}
 The surface caste gave up their noble ties willingly, generations ago.{S}
 Well, do not think too long.{S}
 Do what you will, then.{S}
 That should take Lord Dace down a peg or two.{S}
 You give up the initiative, but... do as you must.{S}
 Remember this when my house needs your assistance.{S}
 Let him think he has you.{S}
 She is saying that if the air-touched dwarves have their connections to their houses restored, you will end up footing the bill for Lord Dace's disaster.{S}
 Oh, if I were twenty years younger, I would bed you just to get some of that quick wit in my house.{S}
 You begin to see the whole picture.{S}
 Lord Dace lost a <emp>great deal</emp> of money and prestige.{S}
 Do not mock me, girl.{S}
 Did you hear something?{S}
 Get away from me, old woman.{S}
 If you have something to say, do so.{S}
 I know you are getting at something, I just do not know what.{S}
 Standing up for the surfacers is the right thing to do.{S}
 Let Lord Dace think he is fooled me.{S}
 I will do that.{S}
 It seems I need to have a talk with Lord Dace.{S}
 So this is Lord Dace's play to recover his losses?{S}
 I do not see how this relates to anything.{S}
 I have no idea what you are talking about.{S}
 The trade contracts alone could bring great prosperity to our houses...{S}
 Denial of the traditions of our people does not qualify as a political technicality!{S}
 The Assembly of Kal Sharok will respect the rule of Orzammar, or they will rot and die alone, surrounded by enemies.{S}
 But look, we have company to spare us further wrangling.{S}
 These rituals have their place.{S}
 It behooves you to get to know the nobles and let them know you.{S}
 Who seeks to know the prospect better?{S}
 I give you Orzammar's next commander!{S}
 Tomorrow, our newest commander will lead part of a mission to strike a great blow to the darkspawn.{S}
 Not only does this recover access to some of our most important mines, but it also allows our honored guest Duncan, head of Ferelden's Grey Wardens, to strike far into the Deep Roads.{S}
 This could mean a Blight, and my men and I will discover the truth.{S}
 We are honored to have you with us, my friend.{S}
 Now, feast, drink, and celebrate, for the morning brings battle!{S}
 As for you, my new commander, find your brother Trian and send him to me.{S}
 He may be watching the Provings, or getting some rest in his rooms.{S}
 Do not question everything.{S}
 I have a question.{S}
 I seek to know the prospect better.{S}
 What does the commander prospect think is the proper place for these lost souls?{S}
 Do you feel you have learned something about the prospect?{S}
 Lords, ladies, you have seen the ancestors honor my house today.{S}
 With their guidance, I bring a question concerning the plight of our lost surface kin.{S}
 Very well, let us begin.{S}
 I find myself wishing it'd been to the death.{S}
 House Dace could certainly use one less champio--{S}
 Well put!{S}
 Our new commander taught House Dace a serious lesson--{S}
 These deshyrs have waited patiently, as have the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Quickly, find Trian and send him to me.{S}
 What do you want with Trian?{S}
 They are as we are and should have their rights returned.{S}
 None of these fighters could hold their own against Ser Blackstone!{S}
 It is a great day for a Proving!{S}
 You handle that sword well.{S}
 You make quite the impression these days.{S}
 They do that well enough.{S}
 I am what the ancestors made me.{S}
 So glad you could finally join us.{S}
 We feared you would gotten eaten by darkspawn.{S}
 Turns out the shield is not quite as easy to retrieve as I was led to believe.{S}
 So maybe you tell me where it is, and I will not mutilate your body so bad your father does not recognize you.{S}
 Just what the world needs.{S}
 Just what I needed.{S}
 I will try to hide my disappointment.{S}
 We will find this shield on our own.{S}
 And as to how I got in, that is a question you will have to ask the Stone after I butcher you.{S}
 No deal.{S}
 Get 'em, boys!{S}
 One of Prince Trian's men brought me this ring.{S}
 It opened the door just fine.{S}
 So maybe you tell me where it is, and I do not let my boys have a go at you before I kill you.{S}
 Gorim, we need to kill these men.{S}
 How did you get in here?{S}
 Tell me how you got in--I will tell you where the shield is.{S}
 Wait--I have questions.{S}
 I am going to make such a mess of you.{S}
 You sure you do not want to surrender?{S}
 What have we here?{S}
 A man takes his caste from his father, and these women hope to bear a noble lord's son.{S}
 If one is successful, she is raised up to concubine in the noble house to care for her child.{S}
 It provides new sword arms for the house, and many nobles look favorably on such women.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Shall we carry on?{S}
 And I know how to give my lord a night he will remember.{S}
 Oh, my lord has his energy about him!{S}
 We both require full experiences all to ourselves.{S}
 This should prove most interesting.{S}
 I will see you when the ceremony ends, my lord.{S}
 My name is Mardy and this is Teli.{S}
 We do, my lord, and quite the sum it cost us!{S}
 He wears both his vambraces... unmarried and eligible!{S}
 Teli, we did not pay gold for these permits to take Warrior Caste.{S}
 Because a man takes his caste from his father, they hope to bear a noble lord's son.{S}
 If a noble-hunter succeeds, she is raised up to join the house as a concubine to care for her son.{S}
 It brings new swords to a house, so many nobles look favorably on such women...{S}
 Even your brother Bhelen has had his dalliances.{S}
 I apologize if our presence has offended, my lady.{S}
 We paid many weeks' wages to get these perm--{S}
 Have you changed your mind, my lord?{S}
 Then, if it please my lord, we have things to do.{S}
 Please do.{S}
 No, let us just leave.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 Do I really have to pick just one?{S}
 I will take just you then, Mardy.{S}
 Then let us get to it.{S}
 Sounds like a good deal to me.{S}
 Why do you care if Gorim is noble?{S}
 Should not we get to know each other first?{S}
 What brings you here?{S}
 I thought you had to have a permit to be here.{S}
 Let us go, Gorim.{S}
 Let us leave, Gorim.{S}
 I bet they do.{S}
 Up-jumped nobles only make the caste weaker.{S}
 Let them be.{S}
 We could certainly use more Aeducan swords.{S}
 Why does it matter if you are noble, Gorim?{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 House Aeducan is blessed to have such talented heirs.{S}
 Tomorrow will bring much glory.{S}
 I suppose they will never prove who killed the Vollney pig.{S}
 Your Highness, it is an honor to have you here.{S}
 Have you come to watch these brave warriors do battle in your honor?{S}
 Thank you for making an appearance.{S}
 It will bring courage to the fighters.{S}
 Your Highness, this Proving is in your honor...{S}
 Then honor him by doing as he says.{S}
 My Lord Aeducan will fight in the Proving.{S}
 Men and women of Orzammar, we have a late entry to these Provings, held on the eve of battle for the honor of House Aeducan.{S}
 I give you... the Lord Aeducan, himself!{S}
 Let me know when you are ready.{S}
 Then let us begin!{S}
 I give you... the Lady Aeducan, herself!{S}
 Then honor her by doing as she says.{S}
 Lady Aeducan will fight in this Proving.{S}
 I hope you are enjoying the Proving so far.{S}
 Try to learn as you bleed.{S}
 With backbones of stone and wills of iron, they have defeated all others this day!{S}
 I did not expect her to actually win her first match.{S}
 I never meant to cause offense.{S}
 Many were waiting to see that woman put in her place.{S}
 Then, let us begin!{S}
 I can not remember the last time we had two female warriors of such skill.{S}
 Well done.{S}
 You have proven that even the best of the Warrior Caste cannot match a noble Aeducan.{S}
 He too has had many victories today.{S}
 He is expected to take a full command of his own soon.{S}
 Frandlin Ivo is as fierce a competitor as I have ever seen.{S}
 You have vanquished every warrior of note in today's Proving.{S}
 Much glory was brought to your house tonight.{S}
 Men and women, lords and ladies, may I have your attention, please!{S}
 We are gifted to have in our presence the Lord Aeducan, in whose honor today's Provings were fought.{S}
 Today, House Aeducan makes a challenge of honor against House Dace.{S}
 These two brave combatants have come to prove the righteousness of their causes.{S}
 The Proving begins now!{S}
 We are gifted to have in our presence the Lady Aeducan, in whose honor today's Provings were fought.{S}
 The Proving is at an end.{S}
 Lord Aeducan has been found wanting by the ancestors, and House Dace is innocent of dishonoring House Aeducan.{S}
 Come, let us return to the feast.{S}
 The Proving is at an end.{S}
 Lady Aeducan has been found wanting by the ancestors, and House Dace is innocent of dishonoring House Aeducan.{S}
 This Proving is at an end.{S}
 Mandar Dace has been found wanting by the ancestors, and House Dace is guilty of dishonoring House Aeducan.{S}
 I apologize, your Highness, for the dishonor done to your house.{S}
 With that business out of the way, let us return to the feast and celebrate!{S}
 Let us return to the feast with the honor of our house increased by your victory.{S}
 Well done.{S}
 Come, let us return to the feast and celebrate both the mercy and martial skill of Orzammar's newest commander.{S}
 Actually, I have changed my mind.{S}
 I just need a good workout before tomorrow's battle.{S}
 No, I need some time to prepare.{S}
 I will go take my place, then.{S}
 No, I have come to fight.{S}
 I have decided I want to join the Provings.{S}
 Be proud of getting this far.{S}
 I will make you eat those words.{S}
 Old men do not frighten me.{S}
 Glory is for the one who can take it.{S}
 You dare show me up in my own Proving?{S}
 You did well.{S}
 I could use a rest first.{S}
 I need to rest before I fight again.{S}
 You let a woman fight in the Proving in my honor?{S}
 I am done with this Proving.{S}
 If I have to.{S}
 I need to rest first.{S}
 I need to rest.{S}
 I need some rest time.{S}
 Well, let me fight this Frandlin Ivo.{S}
 Let me at him.{S}
 I have no need of such trinkets.{S}
 I will wear it proudly.{S}
 Are you enjoying the Proving so far?{S}
 This is the lead trainer of the Provings, my lord.{S}
 He teaches nobles from lower houses without their own trainers and the best young men from the Warrior Caste.{S}
 Did the two of you hear about the scandal here last week?{S}
 We have been preparing for tomorrow's battle, and have had little time for gossip.{S}
 The Grey Wardens are in Orzammar searching for recruits, so the Warrior Caste arranged a Proving.{S}
 The goal was for the Grey Wardens to recruit the winner, bringing him honor and a chance for glory.{S}
 Ser Everd, fresh from fighting darkspawn, got dead drunk before the Proving.{S}
 Then some casteless bruiser took Ser Everd's armor, wore it, and won the Proving!{S}
 The Proving master had to be bodily restrained.{S}
 They took the imposter to jail, I assume to be thrown into the Deep Roads as meat for the darkspawn.{S}
 An incident like this raises many questions.{S}
 Well, how the brand got in here to begin with.{S}
 They are not even allowed to possess weapons.{S}
 I have heard they fight in the slums with the old cast-offs.{S}
 All right, I have to go check on the fighters.{S}
 Well, shake up the world it did.{S}
 However, Ser Gorim has helped teach many classes on small-scale tactics, especially shield work.{S}
 This is the lead trainer of the Provings, my lady.{S}
 He does Orzammar a great service.{S}
 It was a pleasure meeting you, trainer.{S}
 I take it that did not happen?{S}
 I will bet it does.{S}
 Let us move along, Gorim.{S}
 Did he teach you, Gorim?{S}
 I am just here to acknowledge the Proving in my honor.{S}
 House Aeducan is blessed to have you.{S}
 Please, Master Vollney, my work is accredited by the shaper!{S}
 I write only what I find in the ancient records!{S}
 You can vouch for my work, can not you?{S}
 This... worm has written a book that slanders my house!{S}
 That man had the patronage of many powerful houses.{S}
 Nothing we can not handle.{S}
 You hold none of the blame.{S}
 Power and a small man will always end in mischief.{S}
 I do not think the poor nobles of Orzammar know what they are in for.{S}
 If this worm's patrons do not like this, they can take on House Vollney.{S}
 If they do not, House Vollney will be ready for them.{S}
 It does not matter!{S}
 My work tells the stories of all of those raised to Paragons in the last five hundred years.{S}
 When the Assembly names a Paragon, that man or woman is then, by definition, everything one can aspire to be in the world.{S}
 But Paragons start off as men.{S}
 The records of that vote are kept in the Shaperate and are a matter of fact.{S}
 Not liking history does not make it any less true!{S}
 Just because it happened, does not mean it is the truth, old man.{S}
 Your Highness, allow me to kill this worm for his disrespect.{S}
 You would have me write lies, just to appease some idea about honor?{S}
 Nobody cares about your truth, old man!{S}
 You are taking his side?{S}
 Do not order me about like some low-caste peon!{S}
 That fool has no idea how weak his house is or how low he sits in it.{S}
 Shall I have him killed, my lord?{S}
 You have shown House Aeducan a friend to research, history, and the glory of our people.{S}
 I will just be about my work, then...{S}
 I will just be about my work, then.{S}
 Heroism and pity for the small man have always been hallmarks of House Aeducan.{S}
 Now, I must try to make sense of these notes.{S}
 Whatever the motivation, you did a wonderful service for me this day.{S}
 I have much to document and organize.{S}
 You have shown yourself more daring and aggressive today than most believed of you.{S}
 Word has been sent.{S}
 Well... historically it has been prudent to eliminate a small threat before it becomes larger...{S}
 How do you want it done?{S}
 Shall I have him killed, my lady?{S}
 You have made a huge mistake.{S}
 Would you allow this coward to slander your ancestors?{S}
 I have written no slander!{S}
 He deserves to die for what he has written of Paragon Vollney!{S}
 The king, as well as several other lords, are quite fond of his work.{S}
 You can vouch for my work, can not you?{S}
 I am sure we can work this out reasonably...{S}
 There is nothing I can do!{S}
 Do you fear an old man?{S}
 House Vollney has some new enemies, then.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Perhaps I should not have encouraged him.{S}
 I do so love the games of the nobles.{S}
 They will get over it.{S}
 What does it say?{S}
 Gorim, does any of this make sense to you?{S}
 Make it bloody.{S}
 Do as you like; it is nothing to me.{S}
 Drive him off, but do not kill him.{S}
 The truth does not always need to be shared.{S}
 That will do nicely, thank you.{S}
 It was mostly to put Bruntin in his place.{S}
 Carry on with your work, scholar.{S}
 Do, but make it look an accident.{S}
 What do you think, scholar?{S}
 Let the poor fool live.{S}
 Do the prudent thing.{S}
 Make sure everyone knows why.{S}
 Get to the point.{S}
 What exactly has he written, Bruntin?{S}
 Gorim, does this scholar truly have my father's favor?{S}
 Your mere presence brings me uncountable honor.{S}
 Because he has forgotten his place.{S}
 These merchants form alliances with those who have abandoned our ways to live on the surface.{S}
 If it can not be used to polish my shield, what good is it?{S}
 Perhaps some nice young man will get you a bolt so the servants can dress you in something frilly.{S}
 Perhaps we should get going?{S}
 You do not need frilly, my lady.{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 All ladies love a bit of silk, do they not?{S}
 Such luxuries only make us soft.{S}
 It is nice to have such pretty things.{S}
 I do not wear frilly.{S}
 You have something I might want?{S}
 Especially since duty requires that you attend our king father at the feast today.{S}
 Have you so little respect for him to disregard his wishes on a day set aside for you?{S}
 Lord Harrowmont told me we would not be needed for hours at least--{S}
 I have been dealing with him all afternoon.{S}
 I have been having a great time.{S}
 The speech you gave to the legless boy about hard work and making something of himself was fantastic...{S}
 As heir to the throne, it is my duty to impart wisdom and judgment upon those who need it.{S}
 Now then, you, get to the feast!{S}
 Let us get back to enjoying it, shall we?{S}
 Perhaps we should get going?{S}
 I wish I had your understanding...{S}
 When I am king, I will help you get over that.{S}
 I expect after tomorrow I will spend much time apologizing to the heads of the noble houses for the deaths of their children under your incompetent command.{S}
 Now do as I say.{S}
 In name at least.{S}
 I would have been at the feast, but Trian had need of me...{S}
 The world does not stop and start with your meager achievements.{S}
 Now, do you have some purpose in bothering us?{S}
 Bhelen, get to bed.{S}
 We have a big day tomorrow.{S}
 All day I have put up with that.{S}
 Trian has begun to move against you.{S}
 I never thought his much-proclaimed honor would allow him to actually act on his jealousy.{S}
 Big brother, Trian is going to try to kill you.{S}
 I would not have believed it myself if I hadn't overheard him giving orders to his men.{S}
 Trian's decided you are a threat to his taking the throne.{S}
 Trian's the named prince, but only the Assembly can proclaim a king.{S}
 It would be unusual for the Assembly to ignore the king's choice, but it does happen.{S}
 The first Aeducan king wasn't even part of the house's leading family.{S}
 But at least a half-dozen times, the Assembly named a lesser family member--or even someone from another house--as king.{S}
 You probably do not want me listening in...{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 You do not want to keep those lovely ladies waiting.{S}
 You know his pride will never allow him to step aside.{S}
 It seems Trian has shown that brothers can not always be trusted.{S}
 If Trian succeeds in his plot against you, how long do you think I will live?{S}
 I will respect any decision you make, but please, be careful.{S}
 I do not want to lose the brother I actually like.{S}
 One of us has to.{S}
 I am taking your place as Father's second, so I will be at hand tomorrow.{S}
 For now, try to get some sleep.{S}
 I hope you are right, but my heart says this will end badly.{S}
 I do not want to lose my dearest sister.{S}
 Tomorrow's battle is the time to do it.{S}
 I will find out the rendezvous and buy you the time to do what must be done.{S}
 I will follow your lead, as always.{S}
 I will keep my eyes open.{S}
 You have always been there for me.{S}
 He has just enough backing in the Assembly to make it ugly when your father dies, but not enough to become king.{S}
 Killing him now makes your house stronger now and saves a great deal of bloodshed later.{S}
 You entered the Provings held in your own honor just for glory and to please the crowds.{S}
 I overheard him giving orders to some of his men, and I was shocked.{S}
 Then it began to make sense.{S}
 Probably not, but you need to all the same.{S}
 And what I am going to tell you next will not make you any more fond of him.{S}
 Well, time is something you may not have much of left.{S}
 I honestly do not know how you put up with him.{S}
 There was a time I would have agreed with you, but I have recently had to rethink my views on our brother.{S}
 Of course he does.{S}
 Bhelen, stay here and stroke the new commander's conceit if you like, but then get to bed.{S}
 Wait--what is that you are wearing?{S}
 If your favor is bought so cheaply, it is your own shame.{S}
 He is got to be alive to be king.{S}
 I did not even get to tell him about the pretty girls.{S}
 Do not speak to Gorim like that.{S}
 Keep barking orders.{S}
 I am sure I will care someday.{S}
 Tomorrow should prove most interesting.{S}
 Does Trian think I am courting the Assembly?{S}
 Trian will not do anything stupid.{S}
 Trian needs to die.{S}
 What should I do?{S}
 See what Trian does.{S}
 See what he does.{S}
 Gorim, what do you say?{S}
 See what Trian does.{S}
 I asked, did not I?{S}
 Well, I would make a good ruler...{S}
 I am just waiting for the right time to get rid of him.{S}
 Smile, nod, do my duty.{S}
 My patience is beginning to wear thin.{S}
 A gift, made for me by a loyal subject.{S}
 I am... so honored to have you visit my booth.{S}
 I have a& proposition, but I dared not approach.{S}
 I had a dagger made.{S}
 Prince Trian had him thrown out.{S}
 I do not know what offense he caused, but I had him beaten severely.{S}
 You do me much honor, ser.{S}
 The blade has been crafted over a period of two years by masters of every art.{S}
 I wish to bless the Lord's first command, and hope that someday, when he rules, he will wear it.{S}
 He will rule when King Endrin returns to the Stone.{S}
 Forgive me, ser, but whispers say the second child of Endrin will be chosen.{S}
 You bring uncountable honor to me.{S}
 What he means is that you will bring uncountable gold to him if you wear that piece in public.{S}
 I wish to bless the Lady's first command, and hope that someday, when she rules, she will wear it.{S}
 If it would please your Highness, I would gladly have him killed.{S}
 We need none of your wares.{S}
 You have nothing to offer me, scum.{S}
 If you have something to say, say it quickly.{S}
 Let me see this dagger.{S}
 I will take the dagger.{S}
 I will take it.{S}
 You only had the messenger beaten?{S}
 I am done here.{S}
 I am sure Trian had his reasons.{S}
 I will take a look, but no promises.{S}
 Try to be more friendly.{S}
 Their progress has been slow, but it is nothing you need worry about.{S}
 If I had reinforced our border levies earlier, my troops could have left before the rains.{S}
 The topic has come up from time to time.{S}
 To be honest, I have no expectations.{S}
 And your father seems determined to let you find your own way.{S}
 If something did happen... well, we would address it as befits a family of our stature.{S}
 Your father's permissiveness has made you willful, indeed.{S}
 It may not always serve you so well.{S}
 The years since have not held the same promise.{S}
 That man took care of his friends.{S}
 The girl <emp>did</emp> ask, your Lordship, as per the latitude you allow.{S}
 The boy <emp>did</emp> ask, your Lordship, as per the latitude you allow.{S}
 I got the impression Delilah did not like me.{S}
 I do not remember returning the interest.{S}
 I got the impression Thomas did not like me.{S}
 Do not hold your breath.{S}
 How long have you and Father been friends?{S}
 You do not think much of King Cailan?{S}
 I... do not know.{S}
 Nobody has come to look at the treasury.{S}
 I honestly do not know, my lord.{S}
 Taking a break?{S}
 Do not worry about it, men.{S}
 Did my father fear someone would steal something?{S}
 Who has the key to the treasury?{S}
 Do you always question your duties?{S}
 Continue your game.{S}
 Then perhaps you would better get back to work.{S}
 Playing cards?{S}
 Get that bloody mutt out of the larder!{S}
 It will not let us near!{S}
 If I can not get into that larder, I will skin both of you useless elves, I swear it!{S}
 We have come to help...{S}
 Your bloody mongrel keeps getting into my larder!{S}
 That beast should be put down!{S}
 Just get him gone!{S}
 I have enough to worry about with a castle full of hungry soldiers!{S}
 Get out of the way!{S}
 We will get the dog.{S}
 If I locked it any tighter, <emp>we</emp> could not get in!{S}
 How am I supposed to work like this?{S}
 That wretched creature is likely eating my beautiful roast as we speak!{S}
 That wretched creature is likely eating my beautiful roast as we speak!{S}
 I do apologize.{S}
 I just need to feed all the soldiers here, and the arl... and Lady Landra and her entourage...{S}
 I have so much to do!{S}
 Get the dog out... and keep him away, I beg you!{S}
 I do apologize.{S}
 Just get the beast out.{S}
 I can not make anything if I can not get into the larder.{S}
 I see it in his eyes: He does this on purpose, just to torment me!{S}
 Just get the dog out of the larder!{S}
 Snuck into my larder once again and makes off like a free thief, he does.{S}
 Oh, do not even start with the sad eyes!{S}
 Take these pork bits and do not say that Nan never gives you anything!{S}
 Now we can get to work.{S}
 Now we can get to work.{S}
 Now you have gone and scared the servants!{S}
 I bet that dog led those rats into there to begin with.{S}
 Now, if you will just hold on a moment, yes?{S}
 Adney, get moving with those casks!{S}
 And Cath, do you think you can serve that to the teyrn with dirt from the floor all over it?{S}
 We have got to work double-time on supper!{S}
 Do not even mention that!{S}
 Oh, there is no need for that.{S}
 Do not think I do not see you there, Cath!{S}
 She is got eyes on the back of her head, she does.{S}
 Just keeping order.{S}
 That is why your father keeps me on.{S}
 The good Maker knows I needn't take care of you anymore.{S}
 Do not start with me!{S}
 You have gotten all you are getting today.{S}
 That mouth of yours will get you into trouble one day.{S}
 Do you remember that bedtime tale I used to tell you?{S}
 I used to tell you that one every night, I did.{S}
 You remember how it begins?{S}
 Then you can start.{S}
 And do not get into any trouble you can not get back out of.{S}
 They named him Hohaku and gave him everything.{S}
 The young hound became arrogant, taking food from his kin and warning them--in the way of dogs--that the chief's family would punish them if they tried to attack him.{S}
 Years passed, and the time for the chief's son to take a war hound came closer.{S}
 But the old chief chose Hohaku's brother as his son's hound.{S}
 The hound ran into the village, seeking shelter in the tents and kennels.{S}
 Before the chief could reach him, the tribe had torn Hohaku apart.{S}
 Now, what should you carry from this tale?{S}
 Did not I teach you not to make fun of your elders?{S}
 Not, "The weak pull down the strong when the strong treat them unfairly?"{S}
 Hohaku took advantage of a position he thought he was entitled to.{S}
 He should not have done it at all.{S}
 You would do well to remember that.{S}
 And that is why you made your nanny old before her time.{S}
 To be truly good is doing right by others even when it does not suit you.{S}
 I have a whole army to feed, and then some.{S}
 And do not think you two will get away from me anytime soon!{S}
 I would beat you black and blue if I did not need your arms working!{S}
 Maybe <emp>you</emp> should be put down.{S}
 You will keep a civil tongue or I will cut it out.{S}
 How did he get in the larder this time?{S}
 Yes, well, what can you do?{S}
 I took care of it.{S}
 No need to be afraid.{S}
 My faithful war hound made sure it is safe.{S}
 Do you know wh--{S}
 Have you considered whipping them?{S}
 I do not have time for stories, Nan.{S}
 I have to find Fergus.{S}
 I have no time for this.{S}
 I do not remember how this goes.{S}
 Hohaku wanted nothing to do with it.{S}
 The dog found the idea tedious.{S}
 I will just go get a drink.{S}
 Strong or not, he chose a more reliable dog.{S}
 How you treat the least is remembered by the greatest.{S}
 Do not abuse your power.{S}
 Why did you tell me that story?{S}
 So he made a weaker dog his son's partner.{S}
 I am sure you have much to do, yet.{S}
 I am sure you have much to do, yet.{S}
 What did you have in mind?{S}
 I would be glad of the chance to get to know you better.{S}
 Did I not just overhear you asking my mother's lady-in-waiting this exact thing?{S}
 I... do not actually know you that well, my lord.{S}
 I... do not actually know you that well, my lord.{S}
 I... do not actually know you that well, my lady.{S}
 That the Cousland line has never been stronger.{S}
 I do not know about here, but outside your castle, people discuss your family a great deal.{S}
 Some say your father should have been king instead of Cailan.{S}
 Have you met him?{S}
 What a strange rumor for someone to start.{S}
 I would join the Grey Wardens in a heartbeat.{S}
 I will have to be happy under your father's command.{S}
 Yes, though I do not know when.{S}
 I will leave when your father does.{S}
 I will care for his horse and armor and such.{S}
 Writing such an important work is one of my ambitions.{S}
 What do you wish to discuss, then?{S}
 I have grown used to putting duty first...{S}
 No doubt you have experienced that.{S}
 I have... heard rumors about you, to be honest.{S}
 That is an odd area of interest, though I had heard the rumors about you...{S}
 I find it utterly fascinating, to be honest.{S}
 Do you have a favorite book?{S}
 I have, ah, never read it, myself.{S}
 You... had me going there.{S}
 I shall see you tonight, my lord, after dinner is done and everyone has retired.{S}
 I would like to get to know you a little better.{S}
 Why do not you come to my room later tonight?{S}
 Why do not we go somewhere more private?{S}
 Let us talk about me.{S}
 What have you heard about me, exactly?{S}
 Perhaps we should get to know each other better, then.{S}
 Do you know anything about the Grey Wardens?{S}
 I have met him.{S}
 You consider it an honor to do menial tasks?{S}
 I have important duties here at the castle.{S}
 I do not want to talk about books, Dairren.{S}
 I do not want to talk about my grandfather.{S}
 You have an interest in magic?{S}
 My father and I do not always agree, either.{S}
 Making love.{S}
 Taking what I want.{S}
 It was my grandfather's, but I come here often to read.{S}
 It is not really meant for reading.{S}
 Your Lordship, you did not mention that a Grey Warden would be present.{S}
 We rarely have the pleasure of seeing one in person, that is true.{S}
 Pup, Brother Aldous taught you who the Grey Wardens are, I hope?{S}
 That Aldous has nerve, teaching my children such slanderous nonsense.{S}
 I take no offense.{S}
 I will not have the Wardens spoken ill of in my household.{S}
 Without them, the darkspawn would have killed us all in the first Blight.{S}
 They are the heroes of legend, who ended the Blights and saved us all.{S}
 Without their warning of the darkspawn rising now, half the nation could have been overrun before we would had a chance to react.{S}
 Duncan is looking for recruits before joining us and his fellow Wardens in the south.{S}
 I believe he is got his eye on Ser Gilmore.{S}
 Do you hear that, Duncan?{S}
 You did just finish saying that Grey Wardens are heroes, old friend.{S}
 I have not so many children that I will gladly see them all off to battle.{S}
 Have no fear.{S}
 While we need as many good recruits as we can find, I have no intention of forcing the issue.{S}
 Yes, you do.{S}
 Duncan is an honored guest and it is your duty to make him welcome here.{S}
 And do not strain my patience.{S}
 In the meantime, find Fergus and tell him to lead the troops to Ostagar ahead of me.{S}
 Be a good lass and do as I have asked.{S}
 Be a good lad and do as I have asked.{S}
 You will have plenty of time after we are gone.{S}
 Upstairs in his chambers, no doubt, spending some last moments with his wife and my grandson.{S}
 I have only found a couple of worthy candidates in my travels across Ferelden.{S}
 If he is not suitable, I will head south and join up with the king.{S}
 King Cailan is an eager young man who has shown great wisdom in responding to the darkspawn threat.{S}
 I have heard he is a bit enraptured with the Grey Warden legend, and that is why he caters to your order.{S}
 He only repeats what we have all heard.{S}
 Whatever the king's reasons, I will take his support.{S}
 The Grey Wardens do not recruit simply anybody, and I intend no flattery when I say you show promise.{S}
 The old treaties allow me to conscript you even against your father's wishes, but I will not do so.{S}
 But I am content to see what other candidates your castle offers.{S}
 Many of the finest Grey Wardens have been women.{S}
 I understand the first battles have gone easily.{S}
 No archdemon has been sighted yet, my lord.{S}
 Luckily, King Cailan took us at our word and marshaled Ferelden's forces quickly.{S}
 The first battles have already been fought.{S}
 Your father has left you in charge of the castle?{S}
 Honestly, the Wardens would be thrilled to have you.{S}
 If you wish to discuss this further, however, let us talk after your father and the arl depart.{S}
 Then let us meet in the morning.{S}
 I will seek you out before Ser Gilmore's testing.{S}
 As I have had a long journey, I will be retiring to my quarters and putting these old bones to rest.{S}
 As do I.{S}
 Howe's men have not yet discovered this exit, but they surround the castle.{S}
 Getting past will be difficult.{S}
 The teyrn and I tried to reach you sooner.{S}
 My daughter helped me get here, Maker be praised.{S}
 Whatever is to be done now, it must be quick!{S}
 Duncan& I beg you& take my wife and daughter to safety!{S}
 Duncan& you are under no obligation to me, but I beg you& take my wife and son to safety!{S}
 I came to your castle seeking a recruit.{S}
 The king will see justice done.{S}
 I will take the teyrna and your daughter to Ostagar, to tell Fergus and the king what happened.{S}
 Then, your daughter joins the Grey Wardens.{S}
 I will take the teyrna and your son to Ostagar to tell Fergus and the king what happened.{S}
 Then, your son joins the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Then I offer you a place within the Grey Wardens.{S}
 I am sorry, but a Grey Warden's duties take precedence even over vengeance.{S}
 Howe thinks he will use the chaos to... advance himself.{S}
 Make him wrong, pup.{S}
 See that justice is done!{S}
 Then I have no choice.{S}
 I hereby invoke the Right of Conscription and recruit you into the Grey Wardens despite your objection.{S}
 She will live, and make her mark on the world.{S}
 He will live, and make his mark on the world.{S}
 You have a better chance to escape without me.{S}
 I will kill every bastard that comes through that door to buy them time.{S}
 But I will not abandon you.{S}
 I doubt I have saved him.{S}
 I did not wish to leave your father alone.{S}
 My younger son helped me get here, Maker be praised.{S}
 Is there a reason I should care?{S}
 Perhaps <emp>that</emp> would get me into battle.{S}
 I have no interest in becoming a Grey Warden.{S}
 Is there a reason I should not join them?{S}
 I doubt I have to be here for that, do I?{S}
 Do not strain my abilities or anything.{S}
 But I am not done talking to you, yet.{S}
 Are you trying to get rid of me?{S}
 Did you really come all this way to see Ser Gilmore?{S}
 Would you really recruit me into the Grey Wardens?{S}
 What are you doing after you finish?{S}
 Can you do something about Howe?{S}
 But what if something has happened to Fergus?{S}
 My duty is to take vengeance on Arl Howe!{S}
 No, I will not do it!{S}
 I accept your offer.{S}
 We can find another way.{S}
 I will not let you sacrifice yourself!{S}
 Mother, are you sure you want to do this?{S}
 Though we both had less gray in our hair then.{S}
 I am sorry pup; I did not see you there.{S}
 Your brother is riding out with our forces today, but the arl and I will lead his men tomorrow.{S}
 They do send their best wishes.{S}
 Perhaps I should bring him with me next time.{S}
 As you get older, those years make less difference.{S}
 My fierce girl has her own mind these days, Maker bless her heart.{S}
 Only a token force is remaining here, and you must keep peace in the region.{S}
 There is also someone you must meet.{S}
 I ask you to take a great responsibility.{S}
 I am certain you would more than prove yourself, but I am not willing to deal with your mother if you join the war.{S}
 She would kill me if I let you go.{S}
 You will have your chance soon enough. <desc>Laughs</desc> Do not make me choose which of the women in my life to fight.{S}
 Your mother has the stronger sword arm, after all. <desc>Laughs</desc> Now, do not make me choose between fighting you or the teyrna.{S}
 You know your mother, and she made it clear there is no debate.{S}
 No doubt because you have trained her as a warrior.{S}
 My fierce boy has his own mind these days, Maker bless his heart.{S}
 Well done, your Lordship.{S}
 My son saw you at a Denerim fair and has talked about you ever since.{S}
 Ha! "To what end", she says!{S}
 Ha! "To what end", he says!{S}
 Perhaps I should bring her next time.{S}
 I am sorry pup; I did not see you there.{S}
 Just let me finish my meeting with Duncan.{S}
 Do not worry, pup.{S}
 But I want you to prepare the men left here.{S}
 If we can not hold them... you must prepare for the worst.{S}
 But let us not speak of ominous things.{S}
 I trust you to do what is best.{S}
 And do not be afraid to ask your mother's advice.{S}
 But we are Couslands, and we do what must be done.{S}
 I <emp>will</emp> tell you, however: you are my darling daughter, I love you, and I trust you completely to carry on the Cousland name if the worst should happen.{S}
 But do not worry about me, dear girl.{S}
 You will have enough to occupy your mind while I am gone.{S}
 I <emp>will</emp> tell you, however: you are my cherished son, I love you, and I trust you completely to carry on the Cousland name if the worst should happen.{S}
 But do not worry about me, dear boy.{S}
 You will have enough to occupy your mind while I am gone.{S}
 I would hope, dear boy, that you planned to wait for us before taking your leave?{S}
 I keep telling you, no darkspawn will ever best me.{S}
 And miss having both my children in one place before I leave?{S}
 Watch over our sons, husbands, and fathers and bring them safely back to us.{S}
 And bring us some ale and wenches while you are at it.{S}
 Is that what you pull on to get the bucket out of the well?{S}
 Thankfully, I have a daughter. <desc>Chuckles</desc> I will miss you, Mother dear.{S}
 You will take care of her, Sister, will not you? <desc>Chuckles</desc> I will miss you, Mother dear.{S}
 You will take care of her, Brother, will not you?{S}
 Howe's men... found me first.{S}
 Almost... did me in right there.{S}
 Duncan... found me.{S}
 Brought me here.{S}
 We must get you out of here!{S}
 Someone... must reach Fergus... tell him what has happened.{S}
 We can flee together, find you healing magic!{S}
 The castle is surrounded& I cannot make it.{S}
 Once Howe's men break through the gate, they will find us!{S}
 Ah, my darling girl... if only will could make it so.{S}
 Ah, my boy... if only will could make it so.{S}
 He can not... get away with this!{S}
 We must get you out of here!{S}
 Was I brought here for a reason?{S}
 I have no interest in an arranged marriage.{S}
 I will do my best, Father.{S}
 I will do what you think is best.{S}
 If you do not send me, <emp>I will</emp> kill you.{S}
 Let me talk to her.{S}
 To what end?{S}
 And what can I do with a handful of guards?{S}
 I will do my best, Father.{S}
 Where do you think Fergus is?{S}
 He just might need those prayers.{S}
 You could have delivered your message yourself, Father.{S}
 I will <emp>kill</emp> Howe for what he is done!{S}
 How did you get here?{S}
 We need to get you out of here!{S}
 Then we will simply have to drag you out.{S}
 Howe must have something planned for him, too.{S}
 And take <emp>vengeance</emp>.{S}
 Get up, and let us go!{S}
 Why is Howe doing this?!{S}
 Is there really gonna be a war, papa?{S}
 Will you bring me back a sward?{S}
 And I will get you the mightiest one I can find, I promise.{S}
 Do not frighten the boy, love.{S}
 Such a thing would bring shame upon this house, Sister.{S}
 I am... not sure how I should take that, love.{S}
 You like to play in the stable too, Uncle?{S}
 Do not you listen to this.{S}
 One day you will meet someone who can handle you.{S}
 No need to be grim.{S}
 Well, I would better get underway.{S}
 Word from the south is that the battles have gone well.{S}
 Did he say why he is come?{S}
 You would think every Grey Warden in Ferelden would have headed south already.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 I hope he makes it.{S}
 If I were a Grey Warden, though, I would have my eye on you---not that Father would ever allow it.{S}
 If I were a Grey Warden, little sister, I would have my eye on you.{S}
 Not that Father would ever allow it.{S}
 If I were a Grey Warden, little brother, I would have my eye on you.{S}
 Not that Father would ever allow it.{S}
 This from the woman who serves me my tea. <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 Mother and Father have been fighting about it for days.{S}
 It is too bad; I could have used you at my side.{S}
 Who said I do not have one now?{S}
 I bring a message: Father wants you to leave without him.{S}
 Do you really think the war will be over quickly?{S}
 Did you know there is a Grey Warden in the castle?{S}
 He says he is recruiting.{S}
 Just let me know when you two are finished.{S}
 Your mother told me the teyrn had summoned you, so I did not want to interrupt.{S}
 I fear your hound has the kitchens in uproar once again.{S}
 He will listen to his mistress, but anyone else risks having an arm bitten off.{S}
 Your mother insists that you take care of this now.{S}
 You are quite lucky to have your own mabari war hound, you know.{S}
 Smart enough not to talk, my father used to say.{S}
 I have heard from several people that a Grey Warden is here.{S}
 It is just that... the gate guards said this Warden asked after me by name.{S}
 Do you know if that is true?{S}
 Although it is going to drive me mad until I find out.{S}
 It would be everything I have dreamed of!{S}
 Of course, I should not get ahead of myself.{S}
 Have mercy!{S}
 Your mother was quite specific--"unless the castle is under attack, you get that dog before doing anything else."{S}
 When Nan's unhappy, she makes sure everyone knows it.{S}
 They listen only to their master; anyone else risks having an arm bitten off.{S}
 No matter how the maids try to keep him out, he always finds a way in.{S}
 It is simply that I have been looking all over the castle for you.{S}
 It is simply that I have been looking everywhere for you.{S}
 We really should go after your hound, my lady, before he does something worse.{S}
 We really should go after your hound, my lord, before he does something worse.{S}
 Lead on.{S}
 Lead on.{S}
 Well, you know I have served your father for years, since my own father sent me to squire here.{S}
 I do miss it, though.{S}
 I take great pride in serving the teyrn.{S}
 Still, if I had the opportunity to join the Grey Wardens, I would not hesitate.{S}
 Joining the Wardens is the highest service one can render.{S}
 I should make sure that Nan is settled, anyhow, or your mother will have my hide.{S}
 Once we have dealt with your hound, I am happy to let you go.{S}
 As you wish... but what if the Grey Warden tries to recruit you?{S}
 Have you thought about it?{S}
 I suppose you have many other options.{S}
 Me, I would give anything to be recruited.{S}
 Grey Wardens are notorious for doing whatever is necessary to fight the darkspawn.{S}
 Scribe Aldous once told me that the Grey Wardens used to burn entire villages to keep them out of darkspawn hands.{S}
 If they have to.{S}
 A few villages are a small price to pay to save the world.{S}
 I hear they only recruit the most skilled.{S}
 I do not want her angry at me.{S}
 It is like the start of every bad adventure tale my grandfather used to tell.{S}
 Your hound must have chased them in through their holes.{S}
 He is certainly done the castle a favor by rooting them out.{S}
 Look at the garbage they got into... your hound does not eat like that.{S}
 I have seen larger.{S}
 But seeing as you have got your mabari well in hand, I will be on my way.{S}
 I am to prepare for the arrival of more of the arl's men.{S}
 We would best get to the kitchens before Nan decides to up and leave, do not you think?{S}
 I was certain Howe's men had gotten through!{S}
 He told us to hold the hall as long as possible.{S}
 When I realized what was happening, it was all I could do to shut the gates.{S}
 But they will not keep Howe's men out long!{S}
 If you have another way out of the castle, use it quickly!{S}
 They will not hold!{S}
 If I do that, you will not make it out before the gates fall.{S}
 I urged him not to go, but he was determined to find you.{S}
 I believe he thought to find you at the servants' exit in the larder.{S}
 Do not worry about me, your Ladyship.{S}
 Keep those bastards out as long as you can!{S}
 Do something.{S}
 Do not let it concern you, Ser Gilmore.{S}
 His name is Duncan.{S}
 I met him.{S}
 I really do not have time to gossip, Ser Gilmore.{S}
 He thinks you might be recruit material.{S}
 I need to talk to my brother, first.{S}
 Did the dog get into the larder again?{S}
 Let us keep going.{S}
 I really do not need you to accompany me, you know.{S}
 Do you know much about the Grey Wardens?{S}
 I really do not know how I feel about it.{S}
 I wish he would recruit me.{S}
 Why would he recruit me?{S}
 He assured my father he would not recruit me.{S}
 What happens if the Grey Wardens recruit you?{S}
 Have you ever seen darkspawn?{S}
 So my hound put me in danger.{S}
 Have you seen my father?!{S}
 I will help you hold the gates!{S}
 We need to find Father!{S}
 They <emp>did</emp> get through!{S}
 Does he live?{S}
 Are not we doing just that?{S}
 What else did you have in mind?{S}
 Did I not overhear you proposing the same to Lady Landra's son?{S}
 I am an open book, my lord.{S}
 Perhaps I should not take up your time further, then.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 But to be honest, we elves have lost much of our history.{S}
 Few speak our language anymore, and many do not know what being elven means.{S}
 We live amongst you, worship as you do, sing the same songs, eat the same foods.{S}
 I am a Fereldan woman, yet my race will always set me apart.{S}
 I think that conversation would take far more time than we have now.{S}
 I have little time for such things.{S}
 But I take comfort in time with my daughter.{S}
 Between caring for my daughter and Lady Landra... very little.{S}
 Though I would not rule it out if... the right person came along.{S}
 There we do not& stand out quite so much.{S}
 So much of our history has been lost.{S}
 My family has been in service to hers for many years.{S}
 I have risen very high, for my people.{S}
 Forgive me; I should not have mentioned her.{S}
 She... does.{S}
 Many people say she looks a great deal like me.{S}
 Her... name is Amethyne.{S}
 You will know when you have children.{S}
 Lady Landra has been very good to me.{S}
 If I may& your mother has no ladies-in-waiting, herself.{S}
 If I may& I see that you have no ladies-in-waiting.{S}
 You make me blush.{S}
 I think we should get to know each other better.{S}
 Getting together and talking, after all this is over?{S}
 What do you think of humans?{S}
 Do you find them very different from your own people?{S}
 Do you resent humans for what they have done to your people?{S}
 Do you find humans attractive?{S}
 It must get very lonely.{S}
 Have you thought about it?{S}
 Do you enjoy living there?{S}
 How did you come to know Lady Landra?{S}
 It sounds like Lady Landra has been good to you.{S}
 You do not hope for more for your daughter?{S}
 You have a daughter?{S}
 I bet she has your beautiful eyes.{S}
 If she found a maid like you, I might encourage her.{S}
 She does not care to be fussed over.{S}
 I have never needed one.{S}
 If I had a maid like yourself, I might consider it.{S}
 I do not like others serving me.{S}
 Maker prepare a place for us.{S}
 Have you come to pray for your brother and father?{S}
 I would think that a woman who desires to spend her life on the battlefield would show more humility.{S}
 I would think a man who desires to spend his life on the battlefield would show more humility.{S}
 Perhaps we should pray as she did.{S}
 So let it be.{S}
 So let it be.{S}
 Join in if your heart compels you.{S}
 It troubles me to see cares hang heavy on such young shoulders.{S}
 Your father does well to put such trust in you.{S}
 Join in if your heart compels you.{S}
 Would it not make <emp>you</emp> feel better?{S}
 I have known you since you were a wee babe, after all.{S}
 Creator of the Sky, the Land, and the Sea, hear your people in our time of need.{S}
 I will be keeping a vigil tonight.{S}
 We shall talk once the soldiers have departed.{S}
 It is the least I could do.{S}
 If the worst comes to pass, child, take comfort in knowing that the Maker's will takes many forms.{S}
 I am sorry, child, but I must attend to the spiritual needs of those heading into battle.{S}
 I do not see the point.{S}
 I have told you before I do not believe in the Maker.{S}
 I do not think anyone hears our prayers, Mallol. <act>Say nothing.</act>{S}
 I just have a bad feeling.{S}
 If it will make you feel better.{S}
 Then let us pray, Mother Mallol.{S}
 And my dear Bryce brought this back from Orlais last year.{S}
 The marquis who gave it to him was drunk, I understand, and mistook Bryce for the king.{S}
 I take it by the presence of that troublesome hound of yours that the situation in the kitchen is handled?{S}
 Do not say such things.{S}
 I will assume that means Nan is back to work, so my guests may eat soon.{S}
 Well, at least one of us will have had a decent dinner.{S}
 You have always had a way with her.{S}
 I take it by the presence of that troublesome hound of yours that the situation in the kitchen is handled?{S}
 Darling, do take care of that.{S}
 Do not give Mother a headache.{S}
 With any luck, I will be able to feed my guests before the end of next week.{S}
 I think we last met at your mother's spring salon.{S}
 Can you believe I haven't found a husband for my delicate flower yet?{S}
 And I just happen to have brought my son!{S}
 Perhaps he uses it for better things than words.{S}
 How much have you drunk this time, Mother?{S}
 Did not I spend half the salon trying to convince you to marry my son?{S}
 And made a very poor case for it, I might add.{S}
 Did not I spend half the salon shamelessly flirting with you?{S}
 Which would not be much, considering we had to pour you into the carriage afterwards.{S}
 Do not be rude.{S}
 Dairren is riding with your father, and I am going to spend some time with Lady Landra while he is gone.{S}
 He is not married yet, either.{S}
 Do not listen to her.{S}
 Do say something, dear.{S}
 I have heard many wonderful things about you.{S}
 Do not look now, Eleanor, but I believe the girl has a crush on your lad.{S}
 You must have many things to do before Fergus and your father leave.{S}
 You can go to the kitchen and deal with your hound.{S}
 You would think that would make it easier to make a match for her, not more difficult.{S}
 Perhaps your daughter simply has a mind of her own, your Ladyship.{S}
 Proud does not get me any more grandchildren.{S}
 You are talking about the woman who helped raise you and your brother.{S}
 Do not be unkind.{S}
 The least you could do is keep him out of trouble.{S}
 Not to mention that I do not need my kitchen servants eaten.{S}
 I will take that as a yes.{S}
 Good work, darling.{S}
 Now you should say goodbye to Fergus before he leaves, do not you think?{S}
 You know that, do not you?{S}
 You know that, do not you?{S}
 Go do what you must, then.{S}
 You have grown up so fast.{S}
 But that does not mean I have to like it.{S}
 Then I will travel with Lady Landra to her estate and keep her company for a time.{S}
 I needn't have been concerned.{S}
 Do not worry, my dear.{S}
 As do I.{S}
 All the assurances in the world do not comfort me.{S}
 But it would not help for us to take up arms and follow.{S}
 Fergus and your father have their duty and we have ours.{S}
 You understand that, do not you?{S}
 Trust me, you will get your chance for excitement soon enough.{S}
 Trust me, you will get your chance for excitement soon enough.{S}
 You haven't gotten it into your head that you want to be recruited?{S}
 Keep it that way.{S}
 You have enough to do here at the castle without chasing darkspawn.{S}
 I do not need you off chasing danger like your brother.{S}
 And I do realize you did not answer my question.{S}
 Perhaps if you hurry, you can keep her from having a fit.{S}
 You should say goodbye to Fergus while you have the chance.{S}
 Did you see their shields?{S}
 Have you seen your father?{S}
 We must find him!{S}
 Let us check on them!{S}
 Your father needs us both.{S}
 I am no Orlesian wallflower--give me a sword and I will use it!{S}
 Now let us go!{S}
 We must find him!{S}
 You do not think Howe's men were delayed... on purpose?{S}
 We have bandages here--I will get them.{S}
 They never got through the door, thanks to you.{S}
 We must go downstairs and find out what is happening!{S}
 We must get to the castle gates!{S}
 We must get to the larder quickly!{S}
 I pray that Mother Mallol has escaped.{S}
 We will have to go around!{S}
 We are getting close to the treasury.{S}
 Here, darling, take my key.{S}
 Use that key I gave you.{S}
 What do I care about danger?{S}
 The servants' passage leads out from the larder.{S}
 But we must find your father, first.{S}
 We must use the servants' entry in the larder to escape.{S}
 Do you hear me?{S}
 Then lets find out for ourselves.{S}
 But if Howe's trap has snapped shut, escaping may not be easy.{S}
 Then let us be swift.{S}
 If we can not find your father, you <emp>must</emp> get out of here alive.{S}
 I have my treasury key.{S}
 We could go there first and take the Cousland sword from the vault.{S}
 If anything is worth fighting to keep out of Howe's hands, it is that sword.{S}
 Do not be foolish!{S}
 Did you not hear Ser Gilmore?{S}
 I would rather not keep chasing this stupid dog.{S}
 Nan's head exploded and my hound ate the kitchen staff.{S}
 Nan is back to work as we speak.{S}
 I can handle my own affairs, thank you.{S}
 Perhaps we need a new cook.{S}
 I will just get rid of him, then.{S}
 What brought this on?{S}
 I do not think you should go.{S}
 I have a bad feeling about all this.{S}
 I could make a difference!{S}
 Do you know where Fergus might be?{S}
 Did you know there is a Grey Warden here?{S}
 Father would not allow it.{S}
 The darkspawn have returned.{S}
 Grey Wardens are needed.{S}
 Maybe you want to find Howe and ask him?{S}
 Can you still handle a weapon, Mother?{S}
 I do not know, Mother, but we need to get out of here.{S}
 I need some aid.{S}
 I do not want you in danger, Mother.{S}
 How can we get out of the castle?{S}
 You do not need to tell me twice!{S}
 We do not know that is true.{S}
 We can not just let Howe win!{S}
 Is there nothing else we can do?{S}
 We can not just let Howe win!{S}
 Then let us go to the treasury.{S}
 What should we do?{S}
 Then we should take the fight to them!{S}
 Hello, my dear girl. <desc>Groan</desc> Do we have to?{S}
 Might you join me in teaching this lesson?{S}
 Perhaps you could make the topic more... palatable for these lads and their miniscule intellects?{S}
 Does that mean we have to listen to you, now?{S}
 I will not have you two becoming smart-mouthed hooligans!{S}
 I doubt they need any more distraction.{S}
 Where shall we start?{S}
 The history between the Couslands and the Howes reaches back to the Orlesian occupation.{S}
 Your grandfather openly supported the rebellion, but Howe sided with Orlais.{S}
 The Howes eventually joined the rebellion, when all of Ferelden united behind King Maric and General Loghain.{S}
 That caused a rift between the two families, as you might imagine.{S}
 True, but if you expect to rule simply on writ, you will find yourself ousted by a coalition of angry arls.{S}
 In keeping the town, your family drove Orlais from its lands.{S}
 During your grandfather's rule.{S}
 Of course, Orlais found it difficult to hold these lands.{S}
 Well I am glad some of my lessons do not disappear into that yawning chasm between your ears, young lady. <desc>Sigh</desc> I am glad some of my lessons do not disappear into that yawning chasm between your ears, young man.{S}
 A pity you do not spend the same care whetting the edge of your mind as your tongue.{S}
 It seems you have already plumbed the depths of your potential, then.{S}
 I expect one who holds sway over the lives of others to keep a sharp mind... as does your father.{S}
 At any rate, your family has held the teyrnir of Highever since before King Calenhad united Ferelden.{S}
 The boulder where they held council still stands today as a memorial of the event.{S}
 When Calenhad's army reached Highever, Teyrna Elethea led the local banns against him.{S}
 I am pleased some of my lessons seem to have stuck.{S}
 At that time, your family held only the minor title of "bann."{S}
 When the werewolves reached this area, Bann Mather Cousland organized a curfew and patrols within the city.{S}
 Several other local banns supported his efforts by swearing oaths of fealty, making him their teyrn.{S}
 If the mind is not exercised, it withers just as the body does.{S}
 Perhaps you would care to join me in teaching the lesson?{S}
 Perhaps it would benefit you to join our lesson?{S}
 They could do with some discipline.{S}
 I am quite familiar with the subject matter.{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 Carry on.{S}
 Come to think of it, I have things I must do.{S}
 Time to end the lesson, I think.{S}
 When did Orlais occupy Highever?{S}
 Your lecturing <emp>does</emp> lead to yawning.{S}
 I am doing the best I can.{S}
 I do not advise insulting me, old man.{S}
 And Calenhad let us keep the teyrnir?{S}
 We will serve you while the teyrn is away.{S}
 It will be such a long night! <desc>Sigh</desc> We will be up very late tonight giving the arl's men proper quarters.{S}
 The castle is so eerie with everyone preparing to ride south.{S}
 We must get out!{S}
 We will serve you well while the teyrn is gone.{S}
 It will be a long night. <desc>Sigh</desc> We will be up very late tonight so the arl's men can be given proper quarters.{S}
 I have to read this whole chapter?{S}
 Why do we have to read books, anyway?{S}
 I want to learn how to use a sword!{S}
 We are gonna die! <desc>Screams</desc> Run!{S}
 The castle has fallen!{S}
 I am getting out of here! <desc>Screams</desc> Here they come!{S}
 Do not be a coward!{S}
 Conversations <emp>Support Lord Dace's cause</emp>{S}
 Lord Dace has asked you to show your support for his cause in front of the gathered nobles.{S}
 You did what Dace wanted, and spoke out for the surface caste.{S}
 The other nobles may not like this development, but it was probably the right thing to do.{S}
 You led Lord Dace to believe that you would speak for his cause, but instead you humiliated him in front of all the nobles.{S}
 Proving your Worth <emp>Win the Provings being held in your honor</emp>{S}
 You have decided to fight in your own Proving.{S}
 It is time to show everyone how a real warrior does battle.{S}
 You have been declared the champion of your own Provings.{S}
 This is a glory Proving, fought under the watchful eyes of the Paragons of Orzammar for the honor of House Aeducan.{S}
 You have dealt with your dog and Ser Gilmore has gone back to his duties.{S}
 After some flirtation, Lady Landra's son Dairren has agreed to join you in your rooms for the evening.{S}
 Sweet Dairren <emp>Give the guard's food to the prisoner</emp>{S}
 The prisoner in the king's camp has begged you for some food.{S}
 You acquired some from his guard, and now must decide if you will give it to the prisoner.{S}
 After some flirtation, Lady Landra's maid Iona has agreed to join you in your rooms for the evening.{S}
 Dairren has decided against joining you this evening.{S}
 The more I hear about this Joining, the less I like it.{S}
 Have I not earned my place?{S}
 Maybe they are just trying to annoy you.{S}
 If they had warned me... it just does not seem fair.{S}
 Would you have come if they would warned you?{S}
 Maybe that is why they do not.{S}
 The Wardens do what they must, right?{S}
 I would sacrifice a lot more if I knew it would end the Blight.{S}
 Yeah, ser knight, try not to wet your trousers until the ritual starts.{S}
 I have just never faced a foe I could not engage with my blade.{S}
 Do not we?{S}
 The Grey Wardens have saved the world from darkspawn before.{S}
 I would say they know better than anyone what it takes.{S}
 Did you hear?{S}
 How do you know?{S}
 I still do not relish the thought of encountering an army.{S}
 Whatever their cunning, I guarantee they will not take us by surprise.{S}
 That does not mean I am here to make this easy, however.{S}
 So let us get a move on.{S}
 I... am simply trying to stay alive.{S}
 You do not see me fleeing, do you?{S}
 Few relish meeting darkspawn up close.{S}
 I know I do not.{S}
 Did you know that?{S}
 I do not like this any more than you do.{S}
 You make a good point.{S}
 But we do not know that, Daveth.{S}
 You are giving me a headache.{S}
 There is nothing we can do about it now.{S}
 You forget I have magic at my command.{S}
 Iona has decided against joining you later.{S}
 Your light flirtation with Iona has ended in tragedy: She was killed by Arl Howe's men as they took the castle.{S}
 Your light flirtation with Dairren has ended in tragedy: He was killed by Arl Howe's men as they took the castle.{S}
 The kennel master at the king's camp has a mabari, a hound bred for intelligence and combat ability.{S}
 It has been poisoned by darkspawn blood.{S}
 The kennel master has asked you to muzzle the hound so that he may be treated. <emp>Bring the strange flower to the kennel master</emp>{S}
 The kennel master at the king's camp has a mabari, a hound bred for intelligence and combat ability.{S}
 The poor thing has been poisoned by darkspawn blood.{S}
 You have found the flower the kennel master needs to treat the hound, and should return it to the camp as soon as possible.{S}
 You know, one good thing about the Blight is how it brings people together.{S}
 I am trying to find a bright side to all this.{S}
 Just trying to find a bright side to all this.{S}
 Wait, we haven't met, have we?{S}
 I do not suppose you happen to be another mage?{S}
 I just like to know my chances of being turned into a toad at any given moment.{S}
 You do not look like a mage.{S}
 Wait, I <emp>do</emp> know who you are.{S}
 You are Duncan's new recruit.{S}
 It is just my background makes mages nervous.{S}
 And nervous mages make me nervous.{S}
 I do not want to be a toad; I like the way I am.{S}
 Allow me to introduce myself: I am Alistair, the new Grey Warden, though I guess you knew that.{S}
 You did not exactly catch me at my finest with the mage there.{S}
 Did Duncan mention me?{S}
 As the junior member of the order, I will be accompanying you when you prepare for the Joining.{S}
 Try not to worry about it.{S}
 So, I am curious: Have you ever actually encountered darkspawn before?{S}
 When I fought my first one, I wasn't prepared for how monstrous it was.{S}
 Anyhow, whenever you are ready let us head back to Duncan.{S}
 I imagine he is eager to get things started.{S}
 The Circle is here at the king's request and the Chantry does not like that one bit.{S}
 They just <emp>love</emp> letting mages know how unwelcome they are.{S}
 Which puts me in a bit of an awkward position.{S}
 Not that that is all templars do, but yes.{S}
 The Chantry raised me until Duncan recruited me six months ago.{S}
 I never would have agreed to deliver it, but Duncan says we are all to cooperate and get along.{S}
 Apparently, they did not get the same speech.{S}
 I have only fought them once up close.{S}
 And that was before the battles here started... which Duncan has kept me out of so far.{S}
 Tell me, did you find them as monstrous as I did?{S}
 Most new recruits have never even <emp>seen</emp> darkspawn.{S}
 I would read so much, but it just can not prepare you.{S}
 I do not look forward to seeing them again.{S}
 You know... it just occurred to me that there have never been many women in the Grey Wardens.{S}
 I am getting that impression.{S}
 But if you are here, what does that make you?{S}
 The recruit Duncan's been bragging endlessly about?{S}
 I, uh, guess you have got a more colorful background than Duncan let on.{S}
 But do not worry, you will see plenty of darkspawn now, and probably sooner than you would like.{S}
 But the Grey Wardens have always believed it is important to know your enemy.{S}
 I never saw one before this began.{S}
 I felt the same way when I did this.{S}
 Unfortunately, they do not give us much choice.{S}
 That was the name.{S}
 Wait, I <emp>do</emp> know who you are.{S}
 You are Duncan's new recruit, from Highever.{S}
 Wait, I <emp>do</emp> know who you are.{S}
 You are Duncan's new recruit, from the Circle of Magi.{S}
 Wait, I <emp>do</emp> know who you are.{S}
 You are Duncan's new recruit, the elf from Denerim.{S}
 Wait, I <emp>do</emp> know who you are.{S}
 You are Duncan's new recruit, the Dalish.{S}
 Wait, I <emp>do</emp> know who you are.{S}
 You are Duncan's new recruit, from Orzammar.{S}
 Then let us get a move on, shall we?{S}
 I do not know if you will be with them.{S}
 If we do not break the horde here, Duncan says it will spread until it engulfs all of Ferelden.{S}
 Then it will take an alliance of nations to fight it.{S}
 I am sure Teyrn Loghain has the battle planned to the last detail.{S}
 Still... no Blight has ever been defeated with so little cost.{S}
 I guess I should be thankful the king favors us Grey Wardens, but I know who is keeping the lid on the pot.{S}
 The Joining is kept a secret for a reason.{S}
 The Joining is... very unpleasant.{S}
 I do not envy what you are going to have to go through.{S}
 But you get through it.{S}
 You have to.{S}
 The Joining is the price we pay, all of us, for being able to defeat the darkspawn.{S}
 I guess you could try.{S}
 Duncan does not usually recruit cowards.{S}
 I do not know anything about the Harrowing.{S}
 We do not do any spells, if that is what you are asking.{S}
 If becoming a Grey Warden were easy, we would not recruit the best.{S}
 Duncan is the leader of the Grey Wardens in Ferelden... which he would say does not mean much, as there are not many of us here.{S}
 I owe him a lot.{S}
 What do you think of him?{S}
 They have had centuries to build up their numbers.{S}
 The Grey Wardens keep watch.{S}
 You will understand after the Joining, if you... well, you will understand.{S}
 Not to mention people start to notice when darkspawn pour out of the Wilds and taint everything around them.{S}
 According to texts, the most famous Grey Warden leader, Garahel, killed the archdemon Andorhal in personal combat at the Battle of Ayesleigh to end the last Blight.{S}
 The truth is, we do not really know.{S}
 They come up from the ground and that is as far as we have gotten.{S}
 The magisters used their gift to enter the Golden City, tainting it and themselves.{S}
 They fled underground, bringing their taint to their gods.{S}
 The tainted Old Gods were the archdemons, who rose from their prisons and led the darkspawn against the world.{S}
 When defeated, the darkspawn flee back underground and seek out another Old God to taint, thus bringing another Blight.{S}
 The Grey Wardens killed so many darkspawn by the end of the last Blight, people decided they were gone for good.{S}
 They have controlled the Deep Roads ever since they defeated the dwarven kingdoms.{S}
 Your people have been trying that for just about ever, haven't they?{S}
 People are beginning to think this is just an unusually large darkspawn raid without an archdemon to unify them.{S}
 Just because it hasn't shown itself does not mean it is not out there. <desc>Laughs</desc> They seldom are.{S}
 King Maric, Cailan's father, reaffirmed the power the Grey Wardens were given during the Blights.{S}
 In practice we can not conscript too often without hurting our cause.{S}
 We were exiled from Ferelden once... best not to let that happen again.{S}
 The king's given us a position of honor at the vanguard, despite our small numbers.{S}
 Maybe he thinks that is what his father would've done?{S}
 Well, let us see.{S}
 Surely you have heard of Weisshaupt Fortress?{S}
 That is where the Grey Wardens once kept their griffons.{S}
 The griffons died out, however, and our numbers have dwindled since the last Blight.{S}
 Each time, the Grey Wardens led mankind to victory.{S}
 Nobody knows more about darkspawn, and nobody's better equipped to deal with them.{S}
 I... do not know if I would go <emp>that</emp> far.{S}
 Duncan says the Grey Wardens do whatever is necessary to protect mankind from darkspawn.{S}
 Whatever it takes to bring victory.{S}
 Did you want to become a Grey Warden?{S}
 Not that I did not want to join.{S}
 I was training as a templar for the Chantry before Duncan recruited me.{S}
 But joining the Chantry wasn't my idea.{S}
 The grand cleric would not have let me go if Duncan never forced the issue.{S}
 I spent years in that chantry, hopelessly resigned to my fate.{S}
 Duncan was the first person who cared what <emp>I</emp> wanted.{S}
 I was raised in the Chantry.{S}
 Duncan rarely needs to do that, I hear.{S}
 As I said, I was trained as a templar before Duncan recruited me about six months ago.{S}
 The Chantry raised me and becoming a templar was a decision made for me a long time ago.{S}
 Do not worry; I will try not to embarrass you.{S}
 If the king wants to see you and Duncan, you probably should not keep him waiting.{S}
 He might get mad, start crying, you will feel bad, and... well, it will not be pretty.{S}
 We need to get to the beacon!{S}
 The king needs Loghain to charge!{S}
 Would that make your day worse?{S}
 Do not worry, I am no mage.{S}
 If you have a problem with my magic, say so now.{S}
 No offense taken.{S}
 What can you tell me about this Joining?{S}
 You do not <emp>have</emp> to accompany me, do you?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 How monstrous did you find them?{S}
 You want more women in the Wardens, do you?{S}
 I can handle myself better than most.{S}
 Eager to get going.{S}
 I spent more time fighting guardsmen, myself.{S}
 I have fought a few in my time.{S}
 We have been fighting them for centuries.{S}
 I can not prepare on my own?{S}
 Pleased to meet you.{S}
 My name is <FirstName/>.{S}
 I have a few questions for you.{S}
 The Joining ritual.{S}
 What if I refuse to do the ritual?{S}
 But what actually happens in the Joining?{S}
 I owe him, as well.{S}
 I can not say I care for him much.{S}
 I would rather keep my thoughts to myself.{S}
 How did anyone even know about this Blight?{S}
 How do Grey Wardens defeat Blights?{S}
 Where do darkspawn come from?{S}
 Give me the truth, then.{S}
 I have other questions about the Blight.{S}
 So the Grey Wardens have the right to recruit anyone?{S}
 What makes you all so special?{S}
 Yes, I did.{S}
 I do not have anything else to ask.{S}
 You did not want to join the Chantry?{S}
 I still do not want to be one.{S}
 You do not really have to accompany me, do you?{S}
 Have you not left yet?{S}
 Secrets you think old Flemeth has cooked up over the years?{S}
 Well, they are of no use to you without years of practicing my ways.{S}
 Believe me, you do not want that.{S}
 If I were you, I would take the darkspawn...{S}
 What good would it do you?{S}
 It is sufficient that I have passed on my knowledge to Morrigan, and I pass her on to you.{S}
 Like a worn dress or an old pair of shoes.{S}
 You cannot give them away, apparently...{S}
 But enough, you have your task to complete.{S}
 You will need that smart mouth for more than asking me silly questions.{S}
 It is the core of this taint and while it lives, so does the Blight.{S}
 You must deal with the repercussions of his deeds before you can face the archdemon... unless it finds you, first.{S}
 Other than darkspawn, the forest denizens will not give you much trouble.{S}
 Then hear this: I laugh at a world full of stupid humans who ignore the Blight's evil and abandon their vigilance to chase mortal goals.{S}
 Then we are done.{S}
 Now, if you will excuse me, I have some dinner to eat.{S}
 Considering what the world has done to me, I have already done more than it deserves.{S}
 It is not a matter of power.{S}
 No one person in all of Thedas has enough power to stand against a Blight.{S}
 I am but an old woman whom the world has largely forgotten.{S}
 You have a whole lot of darkspawn to get past before you sleep. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 This does not seem real.{S}
 Do not talk about me as if I am not present, lad.{S}
 I did not mean... but what do we call you?{S}
 You never told us your name.{S}
 Names are pretty, but useless.{S}
 I suppose it will do. <emp>The</emp> Flemeth from the legends?{S}
 And what does that mean?{S}
 I know a bit of magic, and it has served you both well, has it not?{S}
 Well, we cannot have all the Grey Wardens dying at once, can we?{S}
 Someone has to deal with these darkspawn.{S}
 Then why did not you save Duncan?{S}
 I am sorry for your Duncan, but your grief must come later... in the dark shadows before you take vengeance, as my mother once said.{S}
 It has always been the Grey Wardens' duty to unite the lands against the Blight.{S}
 Or did that change when I wasn't looking?{S}
 If you think small numbers make you helpless, you are already defeated.{S}
 Someone else will realize what needs to be done and act in time and with sufficient sense to solve the problem.{S}
 No need for you.{S}
 The king had nearly defeated them!{S}
 Why would Loghain do this?{S}
 Men's hearts hold shadows darker than any tainted creature.{S}
 Perhaps he does not see that the evil behind it is the true threat.{S}
 If Arl Eamon knew what he did at Ostagar, he would be the first to call for his execution!{S}
 The arl would never do what Teyrn Loghain did.{S}
 You could wait for the archdemon to make its appearance.{S}
 Nobody will take it seriously until it is too late.{S}
 I still do not know if Arl Eamon's help would be enough.{S}
 So can we do this?{S}
 Go to Redcliffe and these other places and... build an army?{S}
 If there is better motivation for doing what is right, I have yet to see it! <desc>Laughs</desc> And when is it ever?{S}
 So you are set, then?{S}
 Now that you mention it, I do have one more thing to offer.{S}
 Such a tone to take with your rescuer!{S}
 I have lost everyone!{S}
 For the love of the Maker, do not back out on me now!{S}
 Then we have to do something!{S}
 I will not let their deaths be in vain!{S}
 But I can not do anything on my own.{S}
 I will not let his death be in vain!{S}
 But I can not do anything on my own.{S}
 Maybe it would help to think that it could have been you out there.{S}
 We can not let their deaths be in vain.{S}
 But I expect Loghain has already taken steps to stop them.{S}
 Still, I can not see how he will get away with murder.{S}
 If Arl Eamon knew what he did, he would never stand for it!{S}
 The largest part of the horde has moved on.{S}
 How long have you lived in the Wilds?{S}
 You do not seem happy about that.{S}
 Are you sure they did not just die from horror?{S}
 That <emp>must</emp> have been a long time ago.{S}
 What will you do once we are gone?{S}
 I have no more questions.{S}
 And what has the world done to you?{S}
 It takes more than a few darkspawn to kill me.{S}
 So why <emp>did</emp> you save us?{S}
 Let someone else do it.{S}
 Keep in mind that Loghain was also an honorable man.{S}
 And say he does not help us?{S}
 Is not that what Grey Wardens do?{S}
 Let us not get ahead of ourselves!{S}
 I do not suppose you could offer any more help?{S}
 Do not push us.{S}
 I have been exiled from my homeland.{S}
 I had to leave my clan behind.{S}
 This is a lot to take in, all at once.{S}
 Mother Mallol <emp>Find Fergus</emp>{S}
 Your father, Teyrn Bryce Cousland, and Arl Howe have been summoned by King Cailan to the battle at Ostagar.{S}
 However, Arl Howe's forces have been delayed.{S}
 You have been sent to tell your brother, Fergus, that he should leave for Ostagar ahead of your father.{S}
 Howe Treachery <emp>Find your family before it is too late</emp>{S}
 You went to sleep after the pleasant family reunion, only to find that Arl Howe's men had infiltrated the castle, and had begun killing everyone in it.{S}
 Your mother does not know what happened; she has joined you as you search the halls of your home for the rest of your family. <emp>Find your father</emp>{S}
 You went to sleep after the pleasant family reunion, only to find that Arl Howe's men had infiltrated the castle, and had begun killing everyone in it.{S}
 Ser Gilmore has told you that your father was last seen headed towards the secret exit from the larder; you and your mother should probably look for him there.{S}
 Proving Master{S}
 Proving Trainer{S}
 What are you doing here alone?{S}
 I am aware of your family's experience with these tunnels, but no dwarf has set foot here for years.{S}
 You have been made to walk the Deep Roads, then.{S}
 I do not think matters of dwarven honor are any business of ours.{S}
 You need not answer, friend.{S}
 The brutal intrigue of the dwarven court continues, then.{S}
 You are the child of my old friend, and do not deserve to die in this pit.{S}
 There is no reason for you to walk these Deep Roads and die for something you did not do.{S}
 You have already proven yourself both resourceful and skilled, and I would expect nothing less from an Aeducan.{S}
 When last we spoke, you told me you wished to join our order.{S}
 I imagine this is not quite what you meant, but you may still find great honor here.{S}
 I have been searching for those with your level of ability.{S}
 Your exploits in the Deep Roads set you apart.{S}
 As leader of the Grey Wardens in Ferelden, I would like to formally invite you to join our order.{S}
 You may indeed kill some darkspawn, but eventually you will die of starvation, and then what will your life have accomplished?{S}
 Or take the easy route and die a quiet death knowing your ancestors will reject you.{S}
 I shall meet my Maker soon enough, I think.{S}
 For now, I will take that as a sign you still have some life in you.{S}
 Come, take your punishment with me.{S}
 I have left Orzammar.{S}
 I have been exiled.{S}
 Bhelen has betrayed me.{S}
 I was made to think he was plotting against me.{S}
 I do not want to speak of it.{S}
 I do not wish to speak of it.{S}
 Well, I can not see as I have much choice.{S}
 For what I did, I deserve this death.{S}
 I will work off my crime with you.{S}
 You have convinced me.{S}
 If it gets me out of the Deep Roads, I am yours.{S}
 Anything you have to say can be said here, in front of our men.{S}
 I... did not wear it today.{S}
 I did not wish to risk losing it in battle.{S}
 Do not attempt to cast your dark shadows back on me.{S}
 Do you think I am blind?{S}
 I have eyes and ears everywhere!{S}
 Do you think I fear to name your treachery?{S}
 You have plotted to murder me, so you could take my place as heir.{S}
 You convinced Bhelen to help take my men and me by surprise.{S}
 Do you deny it?{S}
 I have every right to judge you.{S}
 Every tradition, everything that makes us who we are, demands your loyalty to me!{S}
 Still, I will not give you the glory you so desire.{S}
 And do they tell you I am weak and ripe to be displaced?{S}
 Then they are fools, and you have been used.{S}
 You have gone too far this time.{S}
 Selling your favor to Lord Dace, I could overlook.{S}
 That the nobles love you when you have accomplished nothing... this I have learned to forgive.{S}
 I know I will never be loved in Orzammar, but I will rule.{S}
 You and your companions will throw down your weapons, confess your treason, and be tried in front of the Assembly.{S}
 It will be <emp>your</emp> end, Sister.{S}
 It will be <emp>your</emp> end, Brother.{S}
 Are you sure you want to do this, my lady?{S}
 Are you sure you want to do this, my lord?{S}
 A warrior does not surrender meekly!{S}
 You and I need to speak.{S}
 You gave it to mercenaries so they could steal the shield.{S}
 You do have to admit it was a good plan.{S}
 You have no right to judge me, Trian.{S}
 I have eyes and ears of my own.{S}
 You have got it wrong, Trian.{S}
 We will do no such thing.{S}
 So arrogant, even at the end.{S}
 I know that look--you have something on your mind, do not you?{S}
 Something you need?{S}
 People have always spoken of dark and mysterious woods, haunted by beings unseen.{S}
 I wonder how the name came to be.{S}
 I think it started as a settlement by the river, and then grew when it became the place where two roads met.{S}
 Perhaps there is little to know about this place, or I simply have not discovered its secrets yet.{S}
 What do you know of this place?{S}
 They say the Veil is thin here and spirits from the Fade pass over, drifting through the trees and giving them an unnatural and sinister intelligence.{S}
 Perhaps Redcliffe has one such tale... but I do not know it.{S}
 We have got the shield, and we are all alone out here.{S}
 I wish I had your confidence.{S}
 Just keep your eyes open.{S}
 Whoever opened the door is most likely still in there.{S}
 It could have been stolen, recently or generations back.{S}
 Let us move, men.{S}
 I did not mean to say--{S}
 I guess that is how they got in here...{S}
 I suggest you shut your mouth and do your job.{S}
 It would have been a major victory to get the shield first.{S}
 Or it may be a warning for us to keep our guard up.{S}
 Now, perhaps we should find this shield?{S}
 The first way we can hurt him is to find that shield ourselves.{S}
 Let us not waste time.{S}
 Carry on, men!{S}
 You have your orders, boys.{S}
 How do we get the shield?{S}
 Well, see what you can find.{S}
 We have got it!{S}
 It does not look like much.{S}
 The skill of our crafters has come far since then.{S}
 We need to get to the other rendezvous point.{S}
 I trust you had a restful night.{S}
 Oh, believe me, I was doing <emp>plenty</emp> of imagining.{S}
 I was sort of hoping Mardy would take me as a consolation prize.{S}
 I sort of thought Teli might come find me.{S}
 I can not believe you did not invite me.{S}
 Would I do that, my lord?{S}
 Anyway, we should keep moving.{S}
 We should keep moving.{S}
 Keep your wits about you, then.{S}
 Keep your mind on the mission.{S}
 My brother Trian may try to ambush us.{S}
 They had to have an Aeducan signet ring to get in.{S}
 Let us not do anything rash.{S}
 Then let us make sure they do not find the shield.{S}
 Be prepared to kill anything that moves. <act>Lie</act> No, it is a fake.{S}
 It must have been stolen from him.{S}
 It must have been stolen from him.{S}
 My brother has been sloppy this time.{S}
 Let the schemers come, if they dare.{S}
 Trian will pay for this.{S}
 Let us move, then.{S}
 Whatever the plan was, it has failed.{S}
 Let them try.{S}
 Let us get back to business.{S}
 Shut up and let us just find the thaig.{S}
 Soaring ceilings grand enough to make any man forget the sky and the sun and to question the reason for their existence.{S}
 I have heard of these things and more, but none prepared me for what I have seen here.{S}
 Do you know any Fereldan legends?{S}
 What do you know about Andraste?{S}
 How did Andraste die?{S}
 Do you know anything about the Dalish?{S}
 Of course I do.{S}
 I love stories far too much to keep them to myself.{S}
 Do you have tales to share?{S}
 I have heard of failed Harrowings.{S}
 I was to strike the killing blow if you had... become an abomination.{S}
 I am glad you did not.{S}
 Honestly, I have never seen an abomination... or been called on to slay one.{S}
 As I said, I have never seen one.{S}
 Greagoir would have guided me.{S}
 I do not share their enthusiasm.{S}
 I try to serve the Maker first and foremost.{S}
 I do so with a heavy heart.{S}
 You have always been so confident... or so I hear.{S}
 I have heard of failed Harrowings, and the consequences were... unpleasant.{S}
 But... but I serve the Chantry and the Maker, and I will do as I am commanded.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 Th-they picked me as the templar to strike the killing blow if...if you became an abomination.{S}
 How would you have known if I had become one?{S}
 You do not know what an abomination looks like?{S}
 So you could have made a mistake?{S}
 You had best be on your guard, then.{S}
 Everyone has a job to do.{S}
 What do you care?{S}
 Would you really have struck me down?{S}
 Maybe we could go elsewhere and... continue our discussion?{S}
 I have seen the way you look at me...{S}
 We should get to know each other.{S}
 I have no more time to discuss this.{S}
 Is there something else I can do for you?{S}
 The mages whose connection to the Fade has been severed?{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 So I have heard.{S}
 It keeps them--and those around them--safe.{S}
 Once, in my youth, just after I had joined the Grey Wardens.{S}
 He would have escaped had he not overlooked one templar, who snuck up behind him and cleaved his head in two.{S}
 I have seen many people--great leaders--consumed by it.{S}
 There have been mages within the Grey Wardens who have needed to resort to blood magic to deal with the darkspawn.{S}
 I asked King Cailan's permission to come and seek a greater commitment from the Circle.{S}
 Do not let me keep you.{S}
 I cannot do with just seven.{S}
 Mages will make all the difference in this battle.{S}
 The darkspawn have their own magic, and our resources must exceed theirs.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Do you?{S}
 It takes decades for the world to recover from a Blight.{S}
 An old man's rantings can not be very interesting. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Yes, I am sure they did. <desc>Chuckles</desc> You are too kind.{S}
 Let us hope the darkspawn give them the option to continue doing so.{S}
 I imagine you do not leave very often, do you?{S}
 I am sure Irving is very proud to have had you as a pupil.{S}
 Well, let us continue on.{S}
 Greagoir serves the Chantry, and the relationship between the Chantry and mages has always been strained.{S}
 You have realized by now that the Chantry merely tolerates magic?{S}
 Any mages who join the king's army can unleash their full power on the darkspawn.{S}
 My opinions end there.{S}
 It was the pride of mages, they say, that brought the darkspawn upon us in the first place.{S}
 Some of our most honored Wardens have been elves.{S}
 They do not distinguish between the races, and neither should we.{S}
 Has being an elf in the Circle been difficult?{S}
 Elves are often treated as lower class in the cities.{S}
 Being a mage has its own set of problems, I expect.{S}
 Taken from your families at a young age, told you are the prey of demons... it is not a life many would choose, had they a choice.{S}
 I have tried to reason with many, and failed.{S}
 If one has always seen elves as less than human, it is hard to imagine them as something else.{S}
 A good attitude, though be careful not to take it too far.{S}
 Do not let that discourage you.{S}
 Let it temper you and make you stronger.{S}
 A horde has formed within the Korcari Wilds in the south.{S}
 We Grey Wardens believe that an archdemon is leading the horde.{S}
 Darkspawn do attack the surface in ragtag bands, but archdemons are capable of rallying the darkspawn, turning them into an unstoppable force.{S}
 I fear this is what we will have to face.{S}
 Do not let me keep you.{S}
 Yes, let us.{S}
 Avoiding a problem does not make it disappear.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Perhaps it will be enough... if we play our cards right.{S}
 Come, let us be on our way.{S}
 I hardly expected to meet you here. <desc>Laughs</desc> Of course you are.{S}
 The Circle of Magi is fortunate to have so many wonderful books at its disposal.{S}
 Might I ask what you are doing?{S}
 Perhaps, but I seldom get a chance to speak with its members.{S}
 Mages like yourself must have opinions on current affairs such as the war.{S}
 If the darkspawn surface in Ferelden, would not you try to defend this country?{S}
 You do not fear using the power at your disposal, do you?{S}
 Do you deny that these things exist?{S}
 A word of advice from someone who is battled abominations and worse: a cavalier attitude will only get you into trouble.{S}
 Irving has taught you well, I see.{S}
 Well, I am sure you have better things to do than chat with an old man.{S}
 We shall meet again.{S}
 I certainly do hope the army is enough to quash the darkspawn threat.{S}
 Do you know anything about the Tranquil?{S}
 Do not you think this is cruel?{S}
 Have you ever seen someone use blood magic?{S}
 I am sure he was just trying to survive.{S}
 I wish I had that power.{S}
 How many mages have joined the king's army?{S}
 How many mages could you possibly need?{S}
 Why does not the king come himself?{S}
 I should take my leave now.{S}
 Do you think I could join the army?{S}
 I doubt I would be allowed to go.{S}
 As an apprentice, old men talking have defined my life.{S}
 True, but I do not need your pity.{S}
 Apprentices are not allowed to leave.{S}
 Let us just move along.{S}
 I have always done what Irving asks of me.{S}
 I did not have much choice.{S}
 I just wanted to say how honored I am to meet you.{S}
 What are your opinions on the matter?{S}
 I do not see why the Chantry and mages can not get along.{S}
 What do Grey Wardens do?{S}
 Should it have?{S}
 I have never been treated badly here.{S}
 I suppose some people have commented about my heritage.{S}
 I do not care what others think of me.{S}
 Have there been many darkspawn attacks?{S}
 I thought the darkspawn had been driven away.{S}
 I would like to talk more, but I have duties to attend to.{S}
 We should continue on our way.{S}
 I have heard about darkspawn sightings, but an entire horde?{S}
 Let us just be off.{S}
 I suppose all we can do is hope.{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 I am not allowed to be in the library?{S}
 Keep your nose out of my business, Grey Warden.{S}
 Sorry, I do not have time for this.{S}
 The king's actions do not really concern me.{S}
 I have never felt endangered by magic.{S}
 Do you need something?{S}
 This is a chance for me to prove I can achieve as much as any human.{S}
 Do not you want more for yourself?{S}
 Our ancestors must have been great wielders of magic.{S}
 If that is how you feel, we have nothing more to discuss.{S}
 Many humans do.{S}
 I am trying to study.{S}
 Have some consideration for a fellow mage.{S}
 I have studied hard, and this opportunity will not pass me by.{S}
 We are probably more attuned to magic than humans are... or at least our ancestors must have been.{S}
 Maybe the Dalish elves would, but I have never met one.{S}
 When elves were taken as slaves, we lost most of our culture.{S}
 I hear the Dalish try to keep the old ways alive.{S}
 It must be easier for them, outside human rule.{S}
 I have heard they keep the old beliefs alive.{S}
 To know who you are, you must know where you have been.{S}
 I did not know anything about elves until I came here.{S}
 As do I.{S}
 Perhaps one day I will have the chance to learn it.{S}
 My mother worked as the cook's assistant there.{S}
 They must've taken you away when you were very young.{S}
 I am glad I did not grow up in one of those.{S}
 Life was hard on the farm, but at least we were treated fairly well.{S}
 I suppose it does not matter where we are from, does it?{S}
 But I should get back to my books.{S}
 What does that mean?{S}
 With so many elves living in alienages, apart from humans, it is difficult for you to get a true idea of who we are.{S}
 Ironically, many of us do not know who we are, either.{S}
 Elves have lived under human rule for so long that much of our history and culture has been lost.{S}
 As a mage, I have an opportunity to prove myself.{S}
 I am sorry, but I am quite busy with my work right now.{S}
 I have never thought of it.{S}
 You should not try to rise above your station.{S}
 Most elves I have known have been servants.{S}
 I do not believe that.{S}
 The past has gone.{S}
 I suppose that makes us luckier than other elves.{S}
 I do not take orders from elves.{S}
 You will need it.{S}
 That sounds like a noble goal. ... many have already gone to Ostagar--Wynne, Uldred, and most of the senior mages!{S}
 We have committed enough of our own to this war effort--{S}
 Since when have you felt such kinship with the mages, Greagoir?{S}
 Or are you afraid to let the mages out from under Chantry supervision, where they can actually use their Maker-given powers?{S}
 There is something else, but I wanted you to meet Duncan first.{S}
 You have heard about the war brewing to the south, I expect?{S}
 Duncan is recruiting mages to join the king's army at Ostagar.{S}
 I wished to congratulate you on a successful end to last night's ordeal.{S}
 With the darkspawn invading, we need all the help we can get, especially from the Circle.{S}
 We need all the help we can get.{S}
 They are twisted monsters that dwell underground, where the sun's light cannot touch them.{S}
 They have formed into a horde in the Korcari Wilds and threaten to invade north into the valley.{S}
 I fear if we do not drive them back, we may see another Blight.{S}
 You have been through an ordeal.{S}
 Let us not rush things.{S}
 Joining the Circle is a reward as well.{S}
 It goes without saying that you shall not discuss the Harrowing with those who have not undergone the rite.{S}
 Now, then... take your time to rest, or study in the library.{S}
 You are an apprentice no longer; I expect you to set a good example.{S}
 Now, if you will both excuse me, I have matters to discuss with Greagoir.{S}
 Do not dawdle.{S}
 I wanted you to meet Duncan.{S}
 You should have taken the opportunity to get to know Duncan.{S}
 I am glad you met him.{S}
 He has much to be proud of, but he is hardly puffed up.{S}
 I am glad you did.{S}
 He must have told you about the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Now, did you need something?{S}
 And how does he know this?{S}
 You think I did not know?{S}
 I did not become first enchanter by keeping my eyes and ears shut.{S}
 What more do you know?{S}
 Do you know anything else?{S}
 I suspected Lily would tell him of the impending Rite if she found out.{S}
 But I never expected they would have the gall to break into the repository.{S}
 If the Circle must punish one of its own, I will see the Chantry done the same courtesy.{S}
 Lily will not walk free while my apprentice suffers.{S}
 She is also breaking every vow she ever took.{S}
 They would make us all tranquil if they could, and call it a kindness.{S}
 If you want to survive, you must learn the rules and realize that sometimes, sacrifices are necessary.{S}
 How did you learn of their plan?{S}
 Do they trust you?{S}
 Will you return to them and carry out their scheme?{S}
 You felt comfortable enough to bring this to me.{S}
 Do not shy from your duty now.{S}
 Then do this: Learn the plan, and offer to help carry out their scheme.{S}
 Greagoir says he has proof--and eyewitness testimony--that Jowan has been practicing blood magic.{S}
 I am sorry, but it must be done.{S}
 Let us not speak ill of my colleague... our colleague.{S}
 You know little of this, and I ask you to hold your tongue. <desc>Sighs</desc> Lily should know better than to tell Jowan, though it is difficult to fault her actions.{S}
 The templars and priests should have been more discreet around her.{S}
 Jowan knows, and nothing can be done about that.{S}
 You have returned.{S}
 Does something require my attention?{S}
 You seemed to make a good impression; he was pleased to have met you.{S}
 You should speak to him more if you get the chance.{S}
 Now, you haven't seen your friend Jowan since this morning, have you?{S}
 You would not know what brought about this behavior, would you?{S}
 I have known him as long as you have and he has never been skittish.{S}
 Are you sure you do not know why he is acting strangely?{S}
 You are doing a service for the Circle.{S}
 Yes, I have known for some time.{S}
 I understand your need to protect your friend, so I shall make this easier.{S}
 Jowan is having an affair with an initiate, is he not?{S}
 Yes, I have known about this for some time.{S}
 And she revealed the plans to make him tranquil?{S}
 I understand why, though she should have known better.{S}
 What did he say?{S}
 So you realize Jowan is breaking the Circle's rules.{S}
 If he wishes to destroy his phylactery and escape, help him do it.{S}
 I could simply report Jowan to the templars, but Lily has also broken her vows and must face like consequences.{S}
 For this, we need irrefutable proof of her crime.{S}
 The Chantry will stand behind her, claiming she has been framed or is in the thrall of a blood mage.{S}
 Convince them you will risk all for their cause.{S}
 Let them see the mischief into which their initiate led our student.{S}
 I apologize for disrupting your work, but I wish to discuss a matter of some urgency, concerning your friend Jowan.{S}
 Do you know what brought this on?{S}
 Forgive me if I do not believe you.{S}
 Has something gone wrong with the plan?{S}
 You are doing a great service for the Circle.{S}
 If you do your job, I will do mine, and everything will go smoothly.{S}
 Why do you-- I understand.{S}
 Trying to break through the door this way?{S}
 The phylactery chamber door is warded and resists all magic worked upon it.{S}
 Even if I did, Greagoir always keeps his on his person.{S}
 Age and dampness seeping up from the ground have weakened a segment of it.{S}
 We have an old Tevinter device in the vault.{S}
 It may have been used for defense, or possibly entertainment.{S}
 Use the rod on this artifact, and aim it at the wall.{S}
 Do not be quick to suggest there is another way in.{S}
 I do not want Lily and Jowan to suspect.{S}
 Make it seem like you came up with the idea yourself.{S}
 As good as can be expected given the circumstances!{S}
 If you had let me act sooner, this would not have happened!{S}
 Now we have a blood mage on the loose and no way to track him down!{S}
 Believe me, we will use our every resource.{S}
 Do not you think I know that?{S}
 You have been a friend, but you needn't defend me any longer.{S}
 Get her out of my sight.{S}
 As I said, he was working under my orders.{S}
 As I said, she was working under my orders.{S}
 I had my reasons.{S}
 You do not know how much influence the blood mage might have had.{S}
 How are we to deal with this?{S}
 I am not only looking for mages to join the king's army.{S}
 I am also recruiting for the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Irving spoke highly of this mage, and I would like him to join the Warden ranks.{S}
 Irving spoke highly of this mage, and I would like her to join the Warden ranks.{S}
 Duncan, this mage has assisted a maleficar, and shown a lack of regard for the Circle's rules.{S}
 It is a rare person who risks all for a friend in need.{S}
 I will recruit this mage.{S}
 I refuse to let this go unpunished!{S}
 Perhaps not all our lessons have been lost.{S}
 Perhaps not all our lessons have been lost.{S}
 Do not be a fool.{S}
 You have assisted a maleficar.{S}
 I offer you something more.{S}
 What is he doing?{S}
 You are not taking this mage away!{S}
 Greagoir, mages are needed.{S}
 This mage is needed.{S}
 I take this young mage under my wing and bear all responsibility for his actions.{S}
 I take this young mage under my wing and bear all responsibility for her actions.{S}
 Are our rules nothing?{S}
 Have we lost all authority over our mages?{S}
 This does not bode well, Irving.{S}
 We have no more say in this matter.{S}
 We must make our way to Ostagar, where the king's army is camped.{S}
 You will have ample opportunity to hone your skills, I assure you.{S}
 This mage does not deserve a place in the Order.{S}
 Do we not reward service?{S}
 This mage has served the Circle well.{S}
 You have an opportunity few even dream of.{S}
 Do not squander it.{S}
 You have promised him a new Grey Warden?{S}
 He has served the Circle well.{S}
 He would make an excellent Grey Warden.{S}
 She has served the Circle well.{S}
 She would make an excellent Grey Warden.{S}
 We look for dedication in our recruits.{S}
 Fighting the darkspawn requires such dedication, often at the expense of all else.{S}
 You say he operated under your instructions, Irving, but I do not trust him.{S}
 You say she operated under your instructions, Irving, but I do not trust her.{S}
 You have... a truly rare gift that should not be squandered.{S}
 Your time is just beginning.{S}
 The Grey Wardens offer a chance for something more.{S}
 Take it.{S}
 What is he doing here?{S}
 Is this why you had me summoned?{S}
 That is all I get?{S}
 I will do that.{S}
 Does Duncan not know where his quarters are?{S}
 Why did you ask me to do that?{S}
 It was my privilege to have met him.{S}
 I just wanted to tell you that I have done what you asked.{S}
 Jowan fears he is going to be made tranquil.{S}
 I just thought it odd that Jowan has not been tested yet.{S}
 Jowan says that he is going to be made tranquil.{S}
 No, Lily has the plan.{S}
 What should we do now?{S}
 What will you do with Jowan?{S}
 Lily is just trying to save the man she loves.{S}
 But did not you say the Chantry protects us?{S}
 The Chantry would do the same to us.{S}
 You are using Lily to get back at the Chantry?{S}
 Jowan told me their intentions, but I do not know the plan.{S}
 Do not do this to Jowan.{S}
 Why are you doing this to Jowan?{S}
 I shall take my leave now.{S}
 I have nothing more to say.{S}
 Greagoir must be making it up.{S}
 It was an honor to meet a Grey Warden of his stature.{S}
 Duncan and I did not talk much.{S}
 Jowan has always acted like that.{S}
 I do, but I do not want to get involved.{S}
 Jowan says he is going to be made tranquil.{S}
 I gave him my word.{S}
 Will I get into trouble if I tell you?{S}
 He found out he is going to be made tranquil.{S}
 I should not get involved.{S}
 Do you realize what you are asking?{S}
 What does this have to do with me?{S}
 There is no way to get proof like that.{S}
 I will do as you ask.{S}
 I am honored to serve the Circle.{S}
 He is trying to destroy his phylactery.{S}
 I have no idea.{S}
 What am I supposed to do, again?{S}
 How will you know when we get into the repository?{S}
 Do you expect something to go wrong?{S}
 I need this form signed.{S}
 This will work, will not it?{S}
 The sooner you sign the form, the sooner I can be done.{S}
 Can you give me your key?{S}
 What am I supposed to do then?{S}
 How would I do this?{S}
 I shall do this.{S}
 You know more about these things than I do.{S}
 I can not believe he just did that!{S}
 He can not have gone far.{S}
 She did it for love.{S}
 Lily did not know Jowan was a blood mage.{S}
 I had no idea he was a blood mage.{S}
 I was just doing as I was told.{S}
 Do what you like.{S}
 If the Grey Wardens will have me, I will gladly go.{S}
 I have always hoped to prove myself as a mage.{S}
 But I haven't done anything wrong.{S}
 He has greater authority than you?{S}
 Then let him invoke it.{S}
 Then I shall let my fate be decided for me.{S}
 Just... try to relax.{S}
 Take a deep breath...{S}
 They carried you in this morning.{S}
 I did not even realize you would been gone all night.{S}
 I have heard about apprentices who never come back from Harrowings.{S}
 Is that why they do not tell us what it is about?{S}
 And now you get to move to the mages' quarters upstairs.{S}
 I hope I get there some day.{S}
 That... makes sense.{S}
 And now you get to move to the nice mages' quarters upstairs.{S}
 I am stuck here and I do not know when they will call me for <emp>my</emp> Harrowing.{S}
 I have been here longer than you have...{S}
 Sometimes I think they just do not want to test me.{S}
 I have been ready for a long time.{S}
 I am afraid they do not want me to take the test.{S}
 You do the Harrowing, the Rite of Tranquility... or you die.{S}
 If... if they do not call apprentices to the Harrowing, it probably means...{S}
 You have seen Tranquil around the tower.{S}
 He is been made tranquil.{S}
 I do not know how they do it exactly, but you are cut off from the Fade.{S}
 It takes away your magic abilities, along with your dreams... and emotions.{S}
 Apprentices can ask to be made tranquil if they fear the Harrowing.{S}
 He did not tell me.{S}
 You would better not keep him waiting.{S}
 Are you done talking with Irving?{S}
 Does it really matter?{S}
 I need to talk to you.{S}
 Do you remember what we discussed this morning?{S}
 Please, I need you to listen.{S}
 I just want to make sure we are not overheard.{S}
 I do not feel safe talking here.{S}
 It will not take long.{S}
 I have been troubled...{S}
 So you can see why we wish to keep it a secret.{S}
 Lily's been given to the Chantry.{S}
 She is not allowed to have... relations with men.{S}
 If anyone finds out... we will both be in trouble.{S}
 I will not give Lily up for anything.{S}
 I wish that was the only thing I needed to talk about.{S}
 They will take everything that I am from me--my dreams, hopes, fears... my love for Lily.{S}
 That makes it so much worse, does not it?{S}
 Not knowing how much you have lost...{S}
 I will not put Lily through the pain of seeing me like that.{S}
 They think that making me a Circle mage will endanger everyone.{S}
 You do not... like me as something more than a friend, do you?{S}
 Why bring it up now, especially with... you know, things?{S}
 I mean, maybe if you had...{S}
 That was... an odd thing to bring up...{S}
 No, and I do not care.{S}
 I do not really want to think about them.{S}
 I came here a year or so before you did.{S}
 I must have been... five or six years old.{S}
 Mother could be cruel... especially if you got on her bad side, which was easy to do.{S}
 She would fight with my father, saying that she did not want "that thing"--meaning me--in her house.{S}
 I have heard the Chant many times, but I never realized how beautiful the words were until then.{S}
 You need a senior mage's stamp?{S}
 He does not teach or mentor anymore.{S}
 Spends his time reading the same few books in the library over and over.{S}
 Sweeney was married to a non-mage.{S}
 His children came here a few years ago to take him home.{S}
 They thought an old mage who might not have full control over his faculties was a danger.{S}
 In a few years, he will not be able to defend himself from a stiff breeze, let alone a demon.{S}
 I bet they would have put him down if they could.{S}
 We choose Tranquility or Harrowing, or turn apostate and get hunted down by the templars.{S}
 Or become abominations, go mad, and <emp>then</emp> get hunted down like dogs by the templars.{S}
 Should you survive all that, your reward is spending the rest of your lonely days gibbering to yourself in a cold tower.{S}
 I hope it keeps you warm at night when you are old, drooling, insane, and templars are still watching your every move.{S}
 The Chantry makes us out to be monsters when we are not.{S}
 I have never seen an abomination, have you?{S}
 And apostates are usually just trying to eke out miserable existences in spite of their magical curses.{S}
 It makes me ill.{S}
 Anyway, try old Sweeney.{S}
 Lily and I will get married somewhere... away from the Circle and its rules.{S}
 Maybe we can buy a farm one day.{S}
 I am trying.{S}
 Well... let us just concentrate on what we are doing.{S}
 I am not giving up!{S}
 We have come too far.{S}
 Can we try not to touch anything and just do what we came here to do?{S}
 It worked!{S}
 I can not wait to get out of this dank basement and smell the free air!{S}
 We did it!{S}
 Thank you... we could never have--{S}
 The initiate has betrayed us.{S}
 The Chantry will not let this go unpunished.{S}
 And this one, newly a mage, and already flouting the rules of the Circle.{S}
 You could have told me what you knew of this plan, and you did not.{S}
 You do not care for the mages!{S}
 And this initiate has scorned the Chantry and her vows.{S}
 Take her to Aeonar.{S}
 I will not let you touch her!{S}
 I take full responsibility for his actions.{S}
 I take full responsibility for her actions.{S}
 Wait... you... you led us into a trap?!{S}
 Do not you dare speak to me!{S}
 Your plan worked, after all.{S}
 We will get out of this, Lily.{S}
 We are friends but do not ask this.{S}
 I had to enter the Fade.{S}
 I had to defend myself from demons.{S}
 I have passed my test; that is all I care about.{S}
 Do not worry so much about it.{S}
 Does not everyone go through a Harrowing?{S}
 What does this have to do with you?{S}
 I think you are reading too much into it.{S}
 What did they do to him?{S}
 Of course I do.{S}
 You are starting to worry me, Jowan.{S}
 I was beginning to doubt her existence.{S}
 And you will only have yourself to blame.{S}
 You can not have brought me here to chat about love.{S}
 And what does this have to do with me?{S}
 How did you find out about this?{S}
 Jowan, why did not we ever...{S}
 Do not be stupid.{S}
 Do you know where your family is?{S}
 How could you not care?{S}
 I do not believe you have ever talked about your family.{S}
 I do not know where my family is either.{S}
 She must have been afraid of you.{S}
 How did you meet Lily?{S}
 You are making me ill.{S}
 Jowan, I need this form stamped.{S}
 What should I do?{S}
 Where would I find him?{S}
 I do not think I know Sweeney.{S}
 He is dangerous, if he no longer has strength of will.{S}
 Why did not they just make him tranquil?{S}
 It is not as bad as you make it out to be.{S}
 We just have to accept it.{S}
 What will you do after you escape?{S}
 Do not worry, Jowan.{S}
 It means that people get what is coming to them.{S}
 I knew this would end badly.{S}
 The first enchanter does what he can to protect us.{S}
 Jowan, please do not make it worse.{S}
 You do not care for the apprentices.{S}
 Your foolish plan was doomed from the start.{S}
 I had no choice.{S}
 Blessed are the penitents who seek His return.{S}
 I did not see you there.{S}
 Would you like to join me?{S}
 I will start over.{S}
 Blessed are the penitents who seek His return.{S}
 Perhaps I should lead?{S}
 May the Chant reach the Maker's ears and tell Him of our contrition.{S}
 So let it be.{S}
 It brings me peace in troubled times.{S}
 It gives me hope that one day, the Maker will hear us.{S}
 If He did not care, He would not have left.{S}
 I fear my magic will remain a constant reminder of how mankind has failed the Maker.{S}
 Magic causes such misery.{S}
 That does not take magic.{S}
 If I could, I would dedicate my life to the Chantry, but they would never take me in.{S}
 Perhaps this is just something I will have to suffer through.{S}
 That takes the magic from me?{S}
 It does, does not it?{S}
 I had heard that... but life without magic is so tempting!{S}
 My mentor only allows a few minutes each day for religious contemplation.{S}
 It is just... <desc>sigh</desc> I do not want to bore you with this.{S}
 I will join you.{S}
 I do not exactly know the blessings very well.{S}
 Blessed is... that woman, Andraste, who... um... did stuff.{S}
 I do not find comfort in such things.{S}
 Just speaking words brings you peace?{S}
 Your problems do not concern me.{S}
 I do not think the Maker really cares.{S}
 Magic has made me suffer, too.{S}
 You do not like having this power?{S}
 You could use your abilities to help people.{S}
 So do I, but I make do.{S}
 You could ask to be made tranquil.{S}
 It also takes away your ability to feel.{S}
 Andraste must have smiled upon you.{S}
 We will need another way into the phylactery chamber.{S}
 Let us explore the repository.{S}
 We did it!{S}
 We must find Jowan's phylactery quickly.{S}
 It should not be hard to find.{S}
 I do not think they will be able to catch you, once you are out of here.{S}
 Let us just find my phylactery.{S}
 We must find Jowan's phylactery!{S}
 You have our gratitude, always.{S}
 Let us look around, then.{S}
 It is a pity they have taken mine to Denerim.{S}
 My name is Owain.{S}
 I find this state agreeable.{S}
 Am I to be denied personhood because I do not feel as you do?{S}
 I have thoughts and memories.{S}
 I do not have the capacity to be offended.{S}
 Therefore, we should let this rest.{S}
 Tranquility has its merits.{S}
 Your mentor should have clarified this.{S}
 The stockroom stores components used in magical and alchemical experiments.{S}
 Do you require something?{S}
 Do you find my greeting disagreeable?{S}
 Do you need something?{S}
 Rods of fire serve many purposes.{S}
 Why do you wish to acquire this particular item?{S}
 Some mages require them for their research; others merely want to light fireplaces.{S}
 Have you lost the key to a lock?{S}
 I will set down that you require the rod to deal with a personal matter.{S}
 Have it signed and dated by a senior enchanter.{S}
 I will release a rod to you once I have the signed form.{S}
 I need a senior mage's authorization to release an item.{S}
 I do not need anything.{S}
 What is it like not having emotions?{S}
 You might as well be an artfully made construct.{S}
 But a person has emotions.{S}
 You do not.{S}
 Do not you think what they did to you is cruel?{S}
 What can I buy here?{S}
 I need a rod of fire.{S}
 Why do you need to know?{S}
 What can the rods be used for?{S}
 I need the rod for my research into... burning things.{S}
 I anticipate having to light a fireplace.{S}
 I do not see how this is your business.{S}
 Can not we take anything we need from the stockroom?{S}
 Why can not you give it to me now?{S}
 I do not believe we have met... are you new to the Circle?{S}
 There are so many of you, and I get confused.{S}
 Not to mention these old eyes are starting to go...{S}
 If they did, it was an hour in the freezy chair.{S}
 Not any magic I would be caught doing.{S}
 Anyway... did you need something?{S}
 Too much chatter makes my head throb.{S}
 Do not you have lessons to get to?{S}
 Gets worse with every telling, I imagine.{S}
 Yes, spending time with the family is nice.{S}
 I get to see them when they visit on Andraste's Day.{S}
 But honestly, I am used to being here.{S}
 At my age, you do not like moving around much.{S}
 When you get to my age, you do not care who knows about your inner workings.{S}
 Well, I will not ask why you need it.{S}
 Tell you what, I will put my name on this form... like so... ... and if you get the chance, burn a big hole in the seat of the trousers of the templar that patrols the library.{S}
 Do that for old Sweeney, will not you?{S}
 Bastard's always giving me the stink-eye.{S}
 I have been here longer than just about anyone else.{S}
 You give that templar a good toastin'?{S}
 That will bring some warmth to these old bones.{S}
 I have seen you in here many times.{S}
 I am a newly Harrowed mage, but I have lived here all my life.{S}
 Starting?{S}
 I would say they have already gone.{S}
 That does not sound pleasant.{S}
 I do not think I will have time.{S}
 I am getting itchy about the armpits.{S}
 I trust you are keeping out of trouble?{S}
 We should be able to find something that can knock some of the bricks loose.{S}
 I can not do it on my own!{S}
 You have to help me.{S}
 If we work together, we can shift it.{S}
 It should be pretty easy to get this out of the way.{S}
 There is no need to move it further.</desc>{S}
 You will have to help me, then.{S}
 I do not think we should even bother moving this.{S}
 Let us move it out of the way first.{S}
 What do you think this does?{S}
 Why does the Circle keep so many Tevinter artifacts in storage?{S}
 I have seen pictures of things like this.{S}
 I bet we could use this to break into the phylactery chamber.{S}
 Let us take a closer look.{S}
 Use this with the rod.{S}
 I am sure it will work.{S}
 Are you saying we should use it to amplify a spell and break our way into the chamber?{S}
 No magic will work.{S}
 The mortar in that wall does look weak.{S}
 That might work.{S}
 I can not imagine what this does, though.{S}
 I have heard of these.{S}
 We will not use it on the door.{S}
 Do not worry about the bookcase.{S}
 We will just have to move it.{S}
 This will work.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 Stand back and I will show you how it is done.{S}
 I never realized the Circle had amassed this much treasure!{S}
 You should not touch anything, Jowan.{S}
 The Circle must have good reason to secret these artifacts away and store them behind lock and key.{S}
 Jowan, do not...!{S}
 Lily, we have to get out of here!{S}
 I can not hold them for long!{S}
 I thought it would make me a better mage!{S}
 I am going to give it up.{S}
 I do not know who you are, blood mage.{S}
 Keep your wits about you and remember the Fade is a realm of dreams.{S}
 The spirits may rule it, but your own will is real.{S}
 It is built of two hundred and seventy-seven planks, one for each original templar.{S}
 The doors can be opened only by a templar and a mage, entering together.{S}
 The Chantry provides the password, which primes the ward, and the mage touches it with mana, to release it.{S}
 Now it must feel the touch of mana.{S}
 Any spell will do.{S}
 I got it from a templar who recently accompanied a mage into the vault.{S}
 We have chatted on many occasions.{S}
 The ward only responds to the touch of one who has been through the Harrowing.{S}
 Initiates must learn the Circle's history if they are to work with templars and mages.{S}
 But how do we get past it?{S}
 So what must I do?{S}
 I trust you have the password?{S}
 Since you have the password, can not Jowan help you enter?{S}
 How do you know this?{S}
 Within the high stone walls, the Circle practices its magic and trains apprentices in the proper use of their powers.{S}
 Found to be sensitive to magic at a young age, you were torn from your family and grafted here as an apprentice. <desc>You see Jowan's phylactery in a corner of this case.</desc>{S}
 You found it!{S}
 So fragile, so easy just to be rid of it... to end its hold over me... ... and I am free.{S}
 Well, it is done now.{S}
 Let us leave.{S}
 I do not want to stay here a moment longer.{S}
 Why... why would you do that?{S}
 I thought you cared about me.{S}
 But you only care for yourself.{S}
 So would you let them... even help them to make me tranquil?{S}
 Why did you lie and say you would help us?{S}
 Do you realize what they will do to Lily if she is caught?{S}
 Irving made you?{S}
 Do not you have a mind of your own?{S}
 We can still get away.{S}
 Do not talk to me!{S}
 Leave us alone; you have done enough!{S}
 This tiny room could not hold the phylacteries of every mage who has passed through the tower doors.{S}
 We are done here, and we should leave. <desc>You see the phylacteries of the Circle's apprentices.</desc>{S}
 That certainly took a while.{S}
 Then let us move on.{S}
 I need to tell you that I told Irving what you are up to.{S}
 I should not have.{S}
 If they found out I helped you, I would be punished.{S}
 Irving would have found out, anyway.{S}
 It was the right thing to do.{S}
 Irving made me do this.{S}
 I doubt it, but you could try.{S}
 I am sorry I brought this on you.{S}
 Do you have the rod with you?{S}
 Melt the locks off! <desc>You use the rod on the locks, but nothing happens.</desc>{S}
 What is the matter?{S}
 Why is not it working? <desc>Nothing happens.</desc>{S}
 Nothing works.{S}
 These wards carved into the stone... this must be the templars' work.{S}
 I should have guessed!{S}
 Why would Greagoir and Irving use simple keys for such a door?{S}
 Because magical keys do not work!{S}
 How do you keep mages away from something?{S}
 Make their powers completely worthless!{S}
 Let us hurry...{S}
 We have wasted enough time.{S}
 It can not be opened!{S}
 We need another way into the phylactery chamber! <act>Use the rod on the locks.</act>{S}
 Maybe the rod's broken. <act>Try the rod again.</act>{S}
 That door there, where does it lead?{S}
 Yes, I would have to agree with you on tha--{S}
 Did it just say something?{S}
 But my lord found death at the hands of his enemies and his once-proud fortress crumbled to dust, as I foretold.{S}
 Do not listen to it!{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 It must have been here for years.{S}
 Stone they made me and stone I am, eternal and unfeeling.{S}
 No help can be given me, for this is my doom and my destiny.{S}
 I can do it too: The sun grows dark, but lo!{S}
 I do not like it.{S}
 Uh, let us leave it alone.{S}
 How did they do this?{S}
 How did a Tevinter statue get here?{S}
 Yes, we have much to do.{S}
 You have got ten minutes, ser.{S}
 I bring little but bad news, though.{S}
 I have bad news, though.{S}
 It is going to get worse, though.{S}
 Bhelen has taken Trian's place in the Assembly.{S}
 He... had fully half the Assembly ready to vote on something completely against tradition and justice!{S}
 He must have been making deals and alliances for months, if not years.{S}
 I do not know that you will get that chance.{S}
 The Assembly has already sentenced both of us.{S}
 My knighthood will be stripped, my name torn from my family records... but I will be allowed to attempt some sort of life on the surface.{S}
 It does not have to be.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont says the king has taken ill.{S}
 That may have been Bhelen's first mistake.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont gave me access to see you so I could tell you this:{S}
 If you survive long enough to find the Grey Wardens, you may be able to escape with Duncan.{S}
 The Grey Wardens do not care about a person's past.{S}
 They recruit for daring, intelligence, and martial power.{S}
 If you can find them, I am sure you can join them and escape the Deep Roads.{S}
 It is just a matter of surviving long enough to track them.{S}
 I would give up all the safety in the world to go down this dark path with you.{S}
 I am going to try to go to Denerim, the human capital.{S}
 If you make it out, find me.{S}
 May the Paragons guide your sword and the Stone hold you up.{S}
 We have no time, my heart.{S}
 The guards will not keep quiet about something like that.{S}
 But I do have to go.{S}
 Do not grant Bhelen this victory.{S}
 Do not be so hard on yourself.{S}
 Do not compound it by taking your own life.{S}
 As a Warden, you could make up for all that happened.{S}
 You were lied to, made to think that you acted in your own protection!{S}
 Why has the Assembly not sent for me yet?{S}
 How do you think I am?{S}
 How do you think I am?{S}
 You have to respect Bhelen's ability to play the game.{S}
 I am guessing I do not get a full pardon?{S}
 What does my father say about this?{S}
 The Grey Wardens would take an exile, a murderer?{S}
 Duncan said he would ask my father if I could join the Wardens.{S}
 How do I find the Grey Wardens?{S}
 Just hold me one last time.{S}
 Who cares what people think now?{S}
 I did not mean it like that.{S}
 The Chantry says the Maker has left us.{S}
 I understand, let us move on.{S}
 And this made you want to help me?{S}
 Did you... hear voices?{S}
 Having been found guilty of fratricide by the Assembly of Orzammar, you are hereby sentenced to exile and death.{S}
 Your name is, from this point forward, stripped from the records.{S}
 Do you have anything to say before the sentence is carried out?{S}
 I would have prevented it if I could.{S}
 Everyone should have the right to face his accuser and defend himself.{S}
 You should have been allowed to defend yourself.{S}
 Had I the power to stop this, I would have.{S}
 Look me in the eye and tell me you did not do this.{S}
 That means Bhelen planned this from the start.{S}
 Believe me, I will spend the rest of my days making sure Bhelen does not profit by his deeds.{S}
 It makes what we do here a thousand times worse, but at least I can tell your father the truth about you.{S}
 Your father asked me to give these to you.{S}
 This sword and shield are of fine dwarven make.{S}
 He is old and this tragedy has hit him hard.{S}
 I will do everything I can to make sure he does not profit by it.{S}
 Open the doors and let the condemned walk through.{S}
 Bhelen will destroy you, just as he did me.{S}
 I did not kill Trian. <act>Lie</act> I did not kill Trian.{S}
 Bhelen convinced me I had to do it.{S}
 I did it and I enjoyed it.{S}
 They said my ideas were blasphemy, but is it so bad if what I believe gives me comfort?{S}
 If it could give someone else comfort?{S}
 Just make sure your beliefs are not a hindrance.{S}
 I know what I know, and no one will ever make that untrue.{S}
 It is nice to find someone who agrees.{S}
 In ages past, the mages of the Tevinter Imperium ruled much of the world we know.{S}
 So thinking, they invaded His golden city, planning to take it for themselves and depose their own creator.{S}
 Any land that was touched by the taint became blighted, and would suffer no life.{S}
 He had hoped for a son, not a daughter, and so he told his wife to abandon the child in the woods.{S}
 Before the cold could claim her, the baby was found by a tribe of Dalish elves, who took pity on the poor mewling thing and raised her as their own.{S}
 Actually, I do not have time for this right now.{S}
 Continue please.{S}
 Perhaps we could continue this at a later date.{S}
 Aveline's Dalish guardians saw that she could easily best any Orlesian chevalier in battle, and wanted to show the cruel humans the child they had left to die.{S}
 They bestowed upon her a fine horse and armor, and sent her to prove herself to her people in the Grand Tourney.{S}
 Now, in those days, no woman was allowed to take up arms, let alone compete in the Grand Tourney, but Aveline kept her helmet on and was not discovered.{S}
 Aveline had already bested him in the joust and Kaleva was determined not to lose a second time.{S}
 Many legends have familiar forms and themes.{S}
 Did she win the tourney?{S}
 Out of desperation to regain his honor, Kaleva tripped Aveline and tossed her to the ground, ripping off her helmet as he did so.{S}
 Kaleva declared the previous competitions invalid--a woman had taken part, and this was not allowed.{S}
 Kaleva was furious, for he had lost to a woman, and was now being shamed.{S}
 He recognized Aveline's skill and bravery and began to see the injustice done to the women in his land.{S}
 When he was made king, he rewrote the laws of Orlais so that women could also become chevalier.{S}
 I was hoping for a happy ending.{S}
 Maybe you have heard of Flemeth?{S}
 I met a Flemeth, in the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 Yes, I have heard of Flemeth.{S}
 No, I do not believe I have heard of Flemeth.{S}
 You have been thrown into the Fade, to fend off the demons that see you as a gateway into the world.{S}
 Prove that these demons have no hold over you, and that you are fit to wear the mantle of a Circle Mage.{S}
 Flemeth Demon-Touched, Who Dwells in the Mists?{S}
 What does it matter?{S}
 She did not really introduce herself as such.{S}
 They probably just had the same name.{S}
 I suppose that is possible, but why would one adopt the name of a feared abomination?{S}
 I do not have time to discuss Flemeth right now.{S}
 She had hair like unto a moonless night, skin as pale as winter's first snow and eyes as beautiful and perilous as the sea.{S}
 When she came of age, she came to the attention of the lord of Highever, Conobar, and he took her for his wife.{S}
 Conobar soon learned that his young bride had the gift of magic.{S}
 He kept this a secret, for he feared that she would be taken from him.{S}
 And then one day a young poet named Osen came to the castle.{S}
 Flemeth longed to be with her true love and she and Osen fled from Conobar's lands, seeking refuge in the Korcari Wilds with the Chasind tribes.{S}
 I do not think we have time for the rest of this story.{S}
 They say she took to her side many Chasind men, and with their help begat her daughter-witches who even now prowl the dark places of the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 Andraste was the Maker's Chosen.{S}
 The Maker had long since abandoned the world when the sound of Her singing turned His ear.{S}
 Beauty, grace and wisdom enraptured Him and He offered to take Her from this flawed world to become His Divine Bride.{S}
 But Andraste had an earthly husband and would not forsake him.{S}
 So earnest was Her plea that the Maker was moved, and promised that He would create a paradise on earth, if all abandoned their false gods and turned once more to Him.{S}
 And this is why Andraste began Her Exalted March on the idolators of the Tevinter Imperium.{S}
 Andraste brought the Imperium to its knees, and Her victories converted many to the worship of the Maker.{S}
 You have completed the Harrowing.{S}
 She was also revered as the Maker's Betrothed, and Maferath began to see their own bond waning in significance, as Andraste became ever more devoted to the Maker.{S}
 Out of envy and spite, Maferath made a pact with the Archon Hessarian of Tevinter, allowing his beloved Andraste to be ambushed and captured.{S}
 But Tevinter has a Chantry, does not it?{S}
 Why did the Maker not save Her with His power?{S}
 I have heard enough now.{S}
 The Tevinter Chantry claims that in Andraste's last moments, Hessarian's heart softened, and he heard the voice of the Maker telling him to end Her suffering.{S}
 Dissenters say that the archon only converted because he could not stem the tide of Andraste's cult, and was forced to do so to stay in power.{S}
 I have thought on this too.{S}
 Did He withdraw His sight from Her at that moment?{S}
 This question has come to me many times and I have no answer.{S}
 I have heard a little about how the elves gained their freedom from the Tevinter Imperium.{S}
 We do not care what humans think of us.{S}
 When Andraste began Her Exalted March against the Imperium, the elves joined Her cause to fight their masters.{S}
 The great elven leader, Shartan, born in captivity, rose up to lead his people.{S}
 He foresaw a future where the elves were free.{S}
 Shartan was killed when Andraste was betrayed, but the elves continued to fight, eventually breaking free of the Imperium.{S}
 They resurrected the worship of their elven gods, and would allow the building of no chantry.{S}
 This angered the Chantry, and the hostility between the two factions finally broke out in open war.{S}
 The Chantry says the elves struck first, but I do not know whether to believe it.{S}
 The Chantry declared a holy Exalted March against the elves, named for Andraste's similar march against Tevinter.{S}
 Some of the elves bitterly accepted their fates, and surrendered to human rule, living in the human cities as second-class citizens.{S}
 But the humans had to take that from us too.{S}
 It did not last.{S}
 Let us discuss this another time.{S}
 What would someone like you be doing in Lothering's chantry?{S}
 Did you think I was always a cloistered sister?{S}
 The Chantry provides succor and safe harbor to all who seek it.{S}
 I chose to stay and become affirmed.{S}
 And my skill in battle... well, you pick up different skills when you travel, yes?{S}
 The Chantry does not pry, and you should?{S}
 You just do not seem to belong in a cloister.{S}
 What did you do before that?{S}
 And why were you seeking safe harbor?{S}
 They do not teach you how to fight in the cloister, do they?{S}
 I have met my share of these, and they are quite unpleasant to deal with.{S}
 In the cloister, away from the fuss and the flurry of the cities, I found peace.{S}
 When I talked about my beliefs--that the Maker reveals Himself in the beauty of His world--they... treated me with disdain.{S}
 They want to believe that He is gone, so that when He turns His gaze on them, it means they are special--chosen.{S}
 He cannot possibly have love for all--the sick and weary, the beggars and the fools.{S}
 What did you say to them?{S}
 Yes, I know this is what the Chantry teaches.{S}
 I do not really want the Maker looking in on me anyway. <emp>Obtain a rod of fire from Owain</emp>{S}
 You got a senior mage to sign your form.{S}
 You got your hands on a rod of fire.{S}
 Return to Jowan, he will want to put his plan into action as soon as possible. <emp>Find a senior mage willing to sign a permission form for a rod of fire</emp>{S}
 Owain, the tranquil who oversees the running of the Circle's stock room, has told you that you need to get a permission form signed by a senior mage to obtain a rod of fire from him.{S}
 Now to find a senior mage who is willing to sign the form for you...{S}
 To break through the doors that stand between you and Jowan's phylactery, you need a rod of fire.{S}
 The rod may be used to burn off the locks on the doors, allowing you, Jowan, and Lily to enter the repository.{S}
 Jowan believes that he is going to be made tranquil--emotionally neutered, with his connection to the Fade terminated.{S}
 Jowan is determined to escape this fate and wanted your help to destroy his phylactery, which can be used to track him down.{S}
 You can choose to help Jowan and Lily, but you could also consider alerting the Circle to their plan. <emp>You refused to help Jowan and Lily</emp>{S}
 Jowan believes that he is going to be made tranquil--emotionally neutered, with his connection to the Fade terminated.{S}
 Jowan is determined to escape this fate and wanted your help to destroy his phylactery, which can be used to track him down.{S}
 However, there may be more you can do for the Circle; perhaps someone should be told of Jowan's plan.{S}
 I try to be a good host, but you see what I have to work with?{S}
 I cannot get the smell out.{S}
 And this way, I do not have to pay them.{S}
 Ferelden does not smell like wet dog.{S}
 Now you must go the basement of the tower and venture into its massive repository, part of which is set aside to hold the phylacteries of apprentices. <emp>Enter the phylactery chamber and destroy Jowan's phylactery</emp>{S}
 The rod of fire proved useless against the second door.{S}
 It has been warded by the templars to resist all magic.{S}
 You must now find another route into the phylactery room. <emp>Enter the phylactery chamber and destroy Jowan's phylactery</emp>{S}
 You found Jowan's phylactery and he has destroyed it.{S}
 It is time for you to make your escape.{S}
 Get out of the repository and make your way to the Circle's main doors!{S}
 Of course you do not notice it.{S}
 You wallow in the muck with your beasts so much you are used to their scent.{S}
 I have more men watching, ready to attack on my word, so perhaps we just talk now, yes?{S}
 You framed me, had me caught and tortured.{S}
 I thought that in Ferelden, I would be free of you, but it seems I am not.{S}
 They were sent to give you cause to come to me.{S}
 I know how she works.{S}
 You have knowledge that you can use against me.{S}
 For my own safety, I cannot let you be.{S}
 Did you think I did not know where you were?{S}
 Did you think I would not watch my Leliana?{S}
 You could have just sent her a letter.{S}
 We do not believe you.{S}
 Why did you send assassins after Leliana?{S}
 You almost had me fooled.{S}
 She will use you.{S}
 I left because I did not want to become you.{S}
 No one will understand you the way I do, because we are one and the same.{S}
 Do you know why you were a master manipulator, Leliana?{S}
 It is because you enjoyed the game; you reveled in the power it gave you.{S}
 She should not have to listen to you.{S}
 Let us just deal with her and go.{S}
 I trust Leliana, no matter what you say.{S}
 What you do is no longer my concern.{S}
 But you carry a dangerous secret of mine, Leliana.{S}
 Leliana has put the past behind her.{S}
 You can not let her get away with what she did.{S}
 Jowan escaped through the use of blood magic--showing that he was lying to both you and the woman he claimed to love--and Lily was taken away for her part in his folly.{S}
 And you accepted a place within the Grey Wardens, a role that Irving had intended for you all along.{S}
 You have caused too much pain for too many, Marjolaine.{S}
 It ends here.{S}
 I made you, Leliana.{S}
 You think I still have some plan for... for revenge?{S}
 Where did you hear this?{S}
 Many use the two words "minstrel" and "bard" interchangeably, but to do so in Orlais would cause misunderstanding.{S}
 I do not remember.{S}
 I read it in a history book.{S}
 Who cares?{S}
 Some say there is a bard order, but I do not think this is true.{S}
 Many bards work alone, or in small groups, doing the bidding of a patron who pays for their services.{S}
 He is been very secretive about something and it is time you found out why he is been skulking about the tower.{S}
 I have revealed too much, it seems.{S}
 But it does not matter what I used to be.{S}
 My skills served me well, but the day finally came when I decided to just put them aside.{S}
 The excitement of the life wears off very quickly, I am afraid.{S}
 I... found myself in Ferelden and sheltered from bad weather in the Chantry.{S}
 And when the storm passed I just... did not want to leave.{S}
 I like to say the Maker brought me here.{S}
 Mother served an Orlesian noblewoman who lived here when Orlais ruled.{S}
 When Orlais was defeated and the common folk began to resent the presence of any Orlesian, the lady returned to Orlais.{S}
 She took my mother with her.{S}
 Why did you decide to come to Ferelden?{S}
 I was born in Orlais, and did not set foot in Ferelden till much later.{S}
 Lady Cecilie let me stay with her.{S}
 I had no one else.{S}
 She was quite old then, and she had me study music and dance to entertain her.{S}
 It is unfair, that I have more memories of Cecilie than my mother.{S}
 She had served Cecilie--the Lady Cecilie--for many years and was loyal to her.{S}
 We had a good life, and she liked Orlais well enough.{S}
 Do you remember nothing of your mother?{S}
 Why did she leave Ferelden then?{S}
 She had impeccable manners and taste, more so than a lot of Orlesian ladies.{S}
 It was scandalous, and Cecilie had every right to turn my mother out.{S}
 She did not.{S}
 She kept dried flowers in her closet, amongst her clothes. <emp>Enter the phylactery chamber and destroy Jowan's phylactery</emp>{S}
 You have found a cannon that you can use to break into the phylactery chamber.{S}
 I just wish I had a little something to remember her by.{S}
 Maybe you just do not understand.{S}
 So you did not get tired of the life?{S}
 Is my usefulness all that matters to you?{S}
 I hoped that my company, at least, would be cause for some cheer.{S}
 I must have been wrong.{S}
 I really do not care why you left.{S}
 Make sure you use your bard skills to help me.{S}
 I did not mean to offend.{S}
 39194 : In a way I did, but these feeling were triggered by events which I did not tell you about.{S}
 She taught me the bardic arts--how to enchant with words and song, to carry myself like a high-born lady, to blend in as a servant...{S}
 But they cannot do this openly, because it is impolite, and in public they wear smiling faces and pretend to be civil.{S}
 How did she betray you?{S}
 What happened to make you hate me so?{S}
 Why do you want me dead so badly?{S}
 I do not know who this man was.{S}
 She gave me a name and a description, and I hunted him down.{S}
 I found documents on his body--sealed documents.{S}
 You opened them, did not you?{S}
 My curiosity got the better of me.{S}
 Something told me that I needed to know what was in those letters.{S}
 Is not that what bards do?{S}
 Orlais has been at war with so many countries.{S}
 It takes a harsh view on such things... as I later discovered.{S}
 Did you give the documents to someone?{S}
 I kept believing, up till the moment they showed me the documents, altered by her hand to make <emp>me</emp> look the traitor.{S}
 It was a traitor's punishment I endured, and at the end of it, all that awaited me was eternity in an unmarked grave.{S}
 How did you get out?{S}
 And you never sought revenge on Marjolaine for this?{S}
 The skills Marjolaine taught me were good for something, at least.{S}
 I broke free when I saw the opportunity.{S}
 I do not think you would have.{S}
 It is done and I cannot change it.{S}
 Is having you here a threat to us?{S}
 Maybe you are right and it does not matter.{S}
 Do not kill him.{S}
 Their weapons and armor are of fine make, and they are well-trained.{S}
 You know what I am talking about, do not you?{S}
 Who are you? <desc>Coughs</desc> Someone who regrets taking you on.{S}
 Kill the little red-haired girl, deal with the others as we pleased.{S}
 You had better have a good reason for this.{S}
 Who is trying to kill Leliana?{S}
 Does this have something to do with Orlais? <desc>Coughs</desc> It do not pay to ask why someone wants someone else dead.{S}
 I just need to know what to do, and where to get my money.{S}
 I can not keep gambling on you forever, precious.{S}
 You got a sweet look, something to light a man on fire.{S}
 But you got to make it count.{S}
 Can we not do this in front of my brother--{S}
 He knows the slope of the land, do not you, boy?{S}
 You have told me a lot of things, not one of which meant more than a fart in the middens.{S}
 She can recite elf-poetry and play the string-harp.{S}
 All she is gotta do is find a lord, squeeze out some kid who looks like him, and we are all living the easy life in the Diamond Quarter.{S}
 Please do not get involved.{S}
 She can do whatever I tell her, even if that means walking into the king's own palace naked.{S}
 He knows the deal you made.{S}
 He lays low and does whatever jobs I do not want to risk anyone valuable on.{S}
 In return, I put out coin so you can doll yourself up and get a bellyful of some nobleman's brat.{S}
 She knows the deal you made.{S}
 She keeps her head down and does whatever jobs I do not want to dirty my fists with.{S}
 I will treat her however I like, as long as you both eat off my plate.{S}
 You keep your head down and say, "Aye" to any job I decide is low enough for scum like you. <emp>Then</emp> you both go free.{S}
 And I get to join the family and be called, "my lord," for the rest of the little prince's life.{S}
 And right now, they do not bear much gold.{S}
 Well, unless I start seeing results, we are going to renegotiate.{S}
 I am giving you another week, precious.{S}
 If you haven't found a patron, you are back to sweeping streets.{S}
 I have.{S}
 I have met someone...{S}
 That is, I did not want to promise, but he seemed interested.{S}
 Everyone needs me.{S}
 Because everyone has things they want and my carta, we are the ones who provide.{S}
 Until you can do that, you are nothing but my errand-boy.{S}
 So shut up, and do as you are told.{S}
 Until you can do that, you are nothing but some whore's little sister.{S}
 So shut up and do as you are told.{S}
 Excuse me if I do not start knitting booties.{S}
 Until I do, you are the one who is going to keep paying her debts with your service to the carta.{S}
 Do a good job, and you might work your way up to footpad one of these days.{S}
 He knows what I will need from you today.{S}
 Do not even think about bungling this job.{S}
 And I know you do not have anywhere else to turn.{S}
 But I did not come for the joy of your company.{S}
 I have been looking at my investments, and this one hasn't borne much gold.{S}
 I do not want to do this in front of my sister--{S}
 She knows the slope of the land, do not you, girl?{S}
 His rule will not hold much longer.{S}
 Bhelen has some tastes of his own that he knows I can provide-- We will finish this later.{S}
 Now did you find out what I asked you for or not?{S}
 What kind of rot are you trying to feed me?{S}
 You want me to believe that is all he got off with?{S}
 He said he kept most of it topside.{S}
 That was all he had on him.{S}
 They got anything that looks like more coin than they are worth, take it.{S}
 I am going to give you one more chance.{S}
 If Oskias had a hiding spot up there, I want us up to our elbows in it.{S}
 And the matter of... punishment?{S}
 I guess the duster was smart enough to keep his main stash topside.{S}
 Does that sound like what I asked?{S}
 Jarvia, what does that sound like to you?{S}
 Sounds like some jumped-up face-brands thought they could take a bribe and let him walk free.{S}
 We did not want to take care of him right there, being how he is your blood, but I guess he hoped you would kill us before we could tell you.{S}
 He might do it.{S}
 Find him for me, Jarvia.{S}
 We will see what he has to say about this story.{S}
 You going to prove me wrong?{S}
 I mean, no one's gonna say spit to you, Beraht, but we can not move that free.{S}
 We needed to get Oskias somewhere private.{S}
 We took him to the lava sinks behind the mines.{S}
 This one's been thinking to defy me since the day we met.{S}
 Thinks he is got some big britches to fill, but there is just not much there.{S}
 But I will give you one more chance.{S}
 Thinks she is got some big britches to fill, and she is never checked to see she does not have anything to put in them.{S}
 I do not like you making me look weak... but it is smart to try to keep the Sword Castes from asking questions.{S}
 Now, I got something else for you.{S}
 Make some use of your... unique skills.{S}
 Do you really think right now's a time to get clever with me?{S}
 Screaming for mercy, telling the ancestors to bless your name.{S}
 I will send someone out to... handle the clean-up.{S}
 I have another job in mind for you.{S}
 Aw, that is touching.{S}
 Wait, I forgot; I do not care.{S}
 The Warrior Caste is hosting a Proving today--all the best fighters, last man standing--you know the sort of thing.{S}
 Now, it is not often we get every name fighter in Orzammar lined up like that, and I have certain acquaintances who... take an interest in this sort of thing.{S}
 Topsiders see a couple of darkspawn, they start crying and run to Papa Orzammar.{S}
 They know dwarves are the best when it comes to darkspawn, so they are here to recruit a couple of bodies to prevent another Blight.{S}
 Because why should humans have to live with what we get every day?{S}
 Then learn to sodding read!{S}
 All you should care about is who wins that fight.{S}
 No brand's allowed to hold steel in the Proving ring!{S}
 I just want you to make certain the right man wins.{S}
 There is a lot of coin to be made when people get the fever up.{S}
 Favored fighter's an officer named Mainar, veteran of four darkspawn campaigns.{S}
 Just got back from a Deep Roads offensive.{S}
 Some young buck who has all the ladies drooling.{S}
 I have got a lot of money riding on him.{S}
 I expect to see that eight-to-one pay off.{S}
 Normally, casteless are not allowed on the grounds, but I got you a pass.{S}
 It says you are there to clean up the waste trenches, not watch the fights, so do not look conspicuous.{S}
 The fight only gets announced to contestants themselves... to prevent illegal gambling.{S}
 So first, you will have to find Everd, see who he is fighting, and when.{S}
 When the name Mainar comes up, I want you to slip this drug into the bastard's water.{S}
 It will slow his reflexes, just enough to take the edge off, not enough to show.{S}
 But it wears off quickly, so do not use it until just before his fight.{S}
 You bet you will.{S}
 Here is your pass to get on the grounds.{S}
 The Proving starts as soon as the clock strikes.{S}
 And when I say I have coin on this, I am not talking about some pittance, like the value of your life.{S}
 If I do not see Everd's name on the winner's sheet, you would better make sure I never see you, or your sister, ever again.{S}
 He should have an alcove for his pre-fight preparations.{S}
 All the fighters are provided basins of water.{S}
 That is all you need to know.{S}
 You think he wants scum like us making money on him?{S}
 Do not let him know what you are doing.{S}
 Just find his chamber, see when he is fighting, then go to Mainar and dump the drug.{S}
 He should have known: You do not lie to me.{S}
 Do not I make that clear?{S}
 I thought I made that clear.{S}
 If you have got any questions, ask Jarvia or Leske.{S}
 I am cutting the whore free.{S}
 If that turncoat brother of hers does not know his place, I do not need precious Rica, either.{S}
 That the one you got all done up in lace?{S}
 I been wanting to get my hands on that.{S}
 And let me tell you... it tastes as good as it looks.{S}
 What in sod-all is <emp>that</emp> doing out of its cage?{S}
 Let us teach this little duster a lesson.{S}
 If that freak of a sister of hers can not stay in her place, I do not need precious Rica, either.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 She will find a man or she will answer to me.{S}
 We owe you everything, Beraht.{S}
 We will not let you down.{S}
 Did not I tell you not to talk that way to my sister?{S}
 How much more does he think you can do?{S}
 Whatever it takes to get out of this cesspool.{S}
 I do not like to see him treating you that way.{S}
 So what are you doing here?{S}
 We have kept our part of the deal.{S}
 We may not need you pretty soon.{S}
 See, she is found someone.{S}
 You have some more... errands for me to run?{S}
 And her son'll call you uncle and come visit on name-days? <act>Lie</act> He did not have any lyrium or gold on him. <act>Lie</act> All he had was this one nugget.{S}
 He was carrying these two nuggets. <act>Lie</act> He is guilty.{S}
 Here is the lyrium. <act>Give 1 nugget.</act>{S}
 Here is the lyrium. <act>Give 2 nuggets.</act> <act>Lie</act> Do not worry.{S}
 We just did not want to do it in public. <act>Lie</act> I am not stupid enough to kill Oskias in public!{S}
 Let me guess; I do not really have a choice.{S}
 I was kind of hoping to spend time with my sister.{S}
 Do I get to make some other duster cry?{S}
 Do you want me to get their attention in the Proving?{S}
 And you are going to bet on who the Wardens pick?{S}
 You want me to enter the Proving?{S}
 What does this have to do with us?{S}
 You are taking bets on the fighters.{S}
 Aye, I do.{S}
 Where is the Proving?{S}
 How do I find Everd?{S}
 How am I supposed to get to Mainar's water?{S}
 Does Everd know you are doing this?{S}
 We found Oskias.{S}
 He had a side-deal going for lyrium. <desc>Groan.</desc> Whozzat?{S}
 I got important things to do here.{S}
 Do not you sass me, you ungrateful brat!{S}
 I made you and I can make another just like you.{S}
 What've I got that is worth living for?{S}
 I hate it when you get like this."{S}
 Do not want anyone to see that dear old mam's a lush, is that it?{S}
 Oh, did I scare you now?{S}
 Do not you sodding tell me my life is over!{S}
 I was crowned the Paragon of Beauty at my eighteenth name day!{S}
 Do not you look at me like that, girl!{S}
 So take your pity and get out of my sight!{S}
 Do what?{S}
 Do not you talk to me like I am an idiot!{S}
 You think I do not know my own kid?{S}
 What're you doing here, anyway?{S}
 Rica said you were finally making something useful of yourself.{S}
 You tell me, just what do I got that is worth living for?{S}
 I do not need your pity.{S}
 I got everything I need.{S}
 I-I know what I done to you, but...{S}
 She is got the body.{S}
 Might as well use it before a couple of kids twist it out of shape.{S}
 Take her!{S}
 You think I need you here?{S}
 You think I need anyone?{S}
 All you can give her are casteless brats that no one wants.{S}
 You are lucky Rica stuck up for you, 'cause I would have put you out there with her.{S}
 What, you thought you would get a seat on the Assembly?{S}
 Do what you are good for.{S}
 Got your head in the smoke.{S}
 You can try, but you will never get it off you.{S}
 You do not bleed red enough for them, and nothing's gonna change that.{S}
 All you can do is find some way to forget.{S}
 Had to join the clean crew for the smoke vents.{S}
 Spent ten years in those chimneys, soot a finger thick all over my body.{S}
 So are you gonna show some sodding gratitude, or do I have to beat it outta you?{S}
 You... you had to learn that.{S}
 You think you would be where you are now if I would let you hide from a few slaps?{S}
 Everything you are, I made you!{S}
 Oh, I should not keep doing this to you.{S}
 Do not leave me!{S}
 Why do not you just lie down?{S}
 Do not leave me!{S}
 Do not you talk to me that way!{S}
 My walls, do you hear me?!{S}
 Do not you walk away from me...{S}
 You will always end up back in Dust Town.{S}
 I tried my best!{S}
 They treat us like dust, tell us we are cursed.{S}
 We got nothing!{S}
 Make yourself useful and pick me up another bottle while you are out.{S}
 Did not I show you what happens when you bother me?{S}
 You trying to make me feel bad?{S}
 Get out before I sodding show you what feels bad!{S}
 Rica's always telling me we do not have enough for one little bottle.{S}
 Does not even care I got my palsy acting up.{S}
 Can not bring me one little bottle.{S}
 "Oh, let us keep everything away from Mam.{S}
 She do not deserve what we got."{S}
 Where'd you get this?{S}
 Do not walk away.{S}
 I just get so angry sometimes, and there is only one way to stop it.{S}
 I know you have been sneaking around.{S}
 Get out!{S}
 I do not need you!{S}
 I-I just...I just need a bit.{S}
 Rica never brings me what I ask for. <desc>Mother has passed out.{S}
 I hate it when you get like this.{S}
 Fine, yell at me because you have thrown your life away!{S}
 You promised you would not do this anymore.{S}
 Get upset!{S}
 You said you would try to remember better times.{S}
 Buy wine!{S}
 We need money for lava-stones to heat the house.{S}
 You have to stop this, Mother.{S}
 Oh, there is no talking to you when you get like this.{S}
 Does not it bother you that Rica has to whore herself out?{S}
 I am getting Rica out of here just to spite you!{S}
 I am going to make something of my life.{S}
 At least he managed to get out of here!{S}
 I have got work to do.{S}
 Try to dry out by the time I get home.{S}
 You can drown in that thing for all I care.{S}
 Do you think that is something to be proud of?{S}
 I do not know why I even try.{S}
 I brought you more wine.{S}
 Rica's trying to make sure we do not all starve.{S}
 I should have known better.{S}
 I bought it in the Commons.{S}
 Does this mean you will be happy now?{S}
 I am sorry you had to see that.{S}
 You have been lucky so far; he thinks it is funny when you and Leske get vulgar.{S}
 Some of the nobles I have met, they would as soon have your head for speaking your mind.{S}
 And I feel like every time you do, it kills something in you.{S}
 You were such a loving child; I hate what this place made you into.{S}
 That is why I did not tell you.{S}
 You have always been a good brother, always tried to protect me.{S}
 I have always tried, though.{S}
 At least I have kept you from buying your future with what is between your legs. <desc>Sigh</desc> I should have told you.{S}
 They have been getting gifts already.{S}
 Lord Rousten gave Elsye a surface-silk gown and she is not even pregnant.{S}
 Beraht's getting impatient.{S}
 Just go and walk the Deep Roads until we find a magical crystal kingdom and live happily until the Stone's embrace.{S}
 No, unless you find a way to save us all from darkspawn and become a Paragon, we are pretty much on Beraht's leash for life.{S}
 Money gives him power.{S}
 He is got family on the surface, which means he can smuggle up lyrium and smith crafts, and bring down silks, wines, and furs.{S}
 And he played it smart.{S}
 When he started expanding, he made sure it was only the casteless he shook down for protection, so the guardsmen did not care.{S}
 You have still got the chance to get out of here.{S}
 Do not stop at becoming another Beraht.{S}
 He is got money now, but you can not buy caste, you know?{S}
 His only chance to join a noble family is to claim kinship with a concubine who bears a noble's son. <desc>Sigh</desc> And that is what he wants more than anything.{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 Imagine what it would be like not to have people look at us like we are sewer sludge, to think our lives are worth something...{S}
 Do not underestimate him.{S}
 Beraht has thugs who would kill their own mothers just to work for him.{S}
 Many Paragons have humble origins.{S}
 All that matters is that the Assembly recognizes their achievements.{S}
 And once they get that vote, they found their own house, and are as noble as if the ancestors themselves had made it so.{S}
 Oh, do not pay attention to her.{S}
 Make something of yourself just to spite her.{S}
 Go do something great!{S}
 But until then, we can only serve as Beraht demands, and he will not like it if either of us is late.{S}
 They say casteless soldiers are more danger to each other than to darkspawn... that it is an insult to the smith to let us touch a fine-made weapon.{S}
 Truly, they just do not wish to insult the Warrior Caste by showing that given the same opportunities, we could lead an army just as well.{S}
 I have little love for the nobles, but they know--more than we ever will--what the darkspawn have taken from our kind.{S}
 Every noble I have met has had a brother or a nephew killed in the Deep Roads.{S}
 Yet they let their arrogance blind them to the fact that we could help defend the city against the darkspawn.{S}
 I have heard they have even been harrying the surface.{S}
 There is been talk of an alliance against the darkspawn, even that the Grey Wardens have stepped up.{S}
 But we do not have time for this now.{S}
 You have worked hard to keep him from throwing us out.{S}
 I can only imagine the horrible things he is made you do.{S}
 He could buy any one of them to run messages and knock skulls.{S}
 They can barely field enough soldiers to hold the walls against the darkspawn.{S}
 If I could... give one of them a son, the whole house would celebrate.{S}
 And we would all be raised up to noble caste to join the family. <desc>Sigh</desc> It is what Beraht's betting on.{S}
 That is why he paid for my clothes, my voice lessons.{S}
 He treats me like a real lady, not just someone to tumble and forget.{S}
 How about I keep the details to myself, and you do not tell me why you come home covered in blood every night?{S}
 But I hope you only find that out with someone you truly love.{S}
 I-I do not want to say... in case I am wrong.{S}
 Anyway, time is rusting, and I need to get dressed.{S}
 Get Leske out of here before he starts drooling, then.{S}
 Well, you have seen more of his bad side than I have.{S}
 He says he has the contacts to get almost everything into or out of Orzammar.{S}
 I can not stand what he makes you do.{S}
 I never thought my little brother would keep us fed by beating old men for their debts.{S}
 Mother can not work, and there is not enough coin to be made sweeping streets to live even in this pit.{S}
 You will have to do what he asks, and just... hope it is nothing unforgivable.{S}
 Some day, one of us will find a better way.{S}
 I hate what he makes you do.{S}
 Believe me, I did not intend for my little sister to become a thug.{S}
 It is a big risk, gambling that a girl will get pregnant with a son.{S}
 The only thing in Orzammar Beraht wants is the one thing he can not buy.{S}
 Then will you let me finished getting dressed, or are you determined to talk right through my appointment?{S}
 Well, there are enough of us now that they have a name for us.{S}
 If they did not want what we are offering, believe me, there'd be nobody doing it.{S}
 If you want to talk about something less... icky... you will have to think of it yourself.{S}
 If I give birth to a noble's son, I would become his concubine, an official member of his house as long as the child lives.{S}
 My family comes with me to ensure I keep no ties to Dust Town.{S}
 With the boys lost every year in the Deep Roads, Orzammar will only keep shrinking.{S}
 The noble lords all need to provide new sword arms for their house.{S}
 And their wives can not do it alone.{S}
 A lord's son wants a girl he can show off, so Beraht gets us fine clothes, makes certain we know the right songs, the latest gossip.{S}
 If we get some... attention... and bear a son, we will be raised up to noble caste.{S}
 And if I claim Beraht as an uncle, he joins the clan, too.{S}
 The soldiers who guard the Deep Roads bring mixed tales.{S}
 Attacks on Orzammar have died down, but the breeding sites are bigger than ever.{S}
 Whatever you like, as long as we finish in the time it takes me to fasten this sleeve.{S}
 She is hurting no matter what we do, brother.{S}
 You were a baby, and I remember they used to talk about what it would be like if they could bind a marriage.{S}
 Mother used to smile, then.{S}
 She used to wear a necklace he made her of polished slate.{S}
 And you wonder why I keep telling you to find a way out of this gutter?{S}
 So get moving, unless you know how to do a double-cross lace on the back of this thing.{S}
 He wanted to try his luck among the humans.{S}
 She did not want to risk it.{S}
 Do not you have some work to--{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 Beraht does not like us spending time with anyone from the surface.{S}
 It is bad luck if you are trying to get pregnant.{S}
 The baby wont take.{S}
 You could try Tapsters, though.{S}
 Beraht never lets us go there because too many traders come in.{S}
 Just... do not tell me what Beraht wants you to do to the poor sot.{S}
 We, uh, do not have to go so soon, you know.{S}
 I could not believe it when Ser Duncan said he wanted to recruit you.{S}
 I was ready to kill you when I heard what you did at the Proving--but it worked out for the best.{S}
 This is like... like being raised to nobility.{S}
 There are separate rooms set aside for the Wardens.{S}
 You... you could recruit the king's own sons if you want.{S}
 Those are the rules of the order.{S}
 You have to go.{S}
 You will never have a better opportunity.{S}
 Please do not hold yourself back because of me.{S}
 I spent the afternoon with my new patron.{S}
 If everything works out... maybe I can even greet you as an equal if you return.{S}
 My patron would never allow it.{S}
 He has already promised to move Mother and me into better lodging, where he can find me more quickly when he wants me.{S}
 Do not let her ruin this day.{S}
 I will tell her you have gone to the surface for a better life than she ever gave you.{S}
 I could never make a life fighting darkspawn.{S}
 But if I can bear a son who makes his house proud, that is all I can ask.{S}
 Make the world a better place.{S}
 He has a voice like a poet.{S}
 When I heard you would been arrested, I ran straight to the Proving Grounds, but you would already disappeared.{S}
 When Ser Duncan said he wanted to recruit you, I almost fell over.{S}
 When I heard you were arrested, I rushed to the arena, but by then you were gone, and Ser Duncan was telling everyone they had to find you.{S}
 The rules of the order say you must leave your family behind.{S}
 We may not need it for much longer.{S}
 This has been a lucky day for both of us.{S}
 I can not stand the way he treats us!{S}
 I have seen it before, and I will see it again.{S}
 You do not have to hide anything from me, Rica.{S}
 I want you to stop working for him.{S}
 I just wish we did not have to kiss up to that cave tick.{S}
 It is not fair that Beraht gets to push us around.{S}
 And now he has everything a dwarf could want.{S}
 So why does Beraht care about hustling you to some noble?{S}
 Keep dreaming, Rica.{S}
 I do not know why I can not join the army and fight darkspawn.{S}
 Are not they doing anything to protect us?{S}
 They know we would turn our weapons on them, if we had any.{S}
 The darkspawn are not likely to touch us here.{S}
 Is anyone doing anything about it?{S}
 Is not the work I do for Beraht enough?{S}
 I need to get going before Beraht comes back.{S}
 Did you say there was a noble who was interested?{S}
 I do not want to think about my sister... doing that.{S}
 I did not mean to bother you.{S}
 I do not want to work for Beraht anymore.{S}
 Why do the guardsmen let Beraht get away with so much?{S}
 Have you had much competition lately in attracting nobles?{S}
 That is enough about you and getting pregnant.{S}
 Why would a noble raise our family up if you have his kid?{S}
 Why do the nobles want children so badly?{S}
 I do not understand what Beraht wants you to do.{S}
 Have you heard anything else about darkspawn recently?{S}
 Let us talk about something a little closer to home.{S}
 Actually, I should get going now.{S}
 How far do the Deep Roads extend?{S}
 I have never seen a darkspawn.{S}
 What do they look like?{S}
 I do not want her to hurt herself.{S}
 Do you ever remember her being different?{S}
 Why did he leave?{S}
 Have you ever met a surfacer named Oskias?{S}
 It does not seem that great to me.{S}
 Well, when you put it that way...{S}
 I do not want to leave you alone here.{S}
 But how will you take care of yourself?{S}
 I do not want to join the Grey Wardens.{S}
 What are you doing here, Rica?{S}
 I will try to send you money.{S}
 Please, I just need a bed.{S}
 Soon's you start to wrinkle up and Beraht's got no use for you.{S}
 Do not think you got anywhere to go but here!{S}
 You do not know from needy.{S}
 I used to work in the mines, checking the new tunnels for bad air.{S}
 Sent me down with a candle, and there must've been a pocket of gas, 'cause it went up like dragon's breath.{S}
 What is a man supposed to do?{S}
 You got some spare feet?{S}
 No woman's gonna let you in her sheets, not as long as your face is branded.{S}
 Only place for you to end up is here.{S}
 Unless you find some man to fill you with babies and give you the care for 'em, you will be gone soon enough.{S}
 Stone keep you warm at night... 'cause no one else is gonna.{S}
 Keep you warm at night?{S}
 Beraht do not like it when you do killings off his books.{S}
 I do not know much, but I know that.{S}
 I would not take your coin, anyway.{S}
 Beat up an old man, if it makes you feel better.{S}
 You think I got nothing for you, but you will see.{S}
 But I saw another brand there with his surface money, and they served him.{S}
 You think I got that close?{S}
 Tavern-keepers, they know all I have to pay with is dirt.{S}
 Now get out of here.{S}
 Let us just get out of here.{S}
 I have got my dignity.{S}
 Not making any threats now, are you, solider?{S}
 I do not have time for this.{S}
 Who do you think you are looking at, old man?{S}
 Is there anything you can give me for my money?{S}
 You do not know anything about a man named Oskias, do you?{S}
 You have something to give me for my money?{S}
 Just tell me, have you seen a surfacer named Oskias?{S}
 Tell me, or your body might end up blocking a mine shaft.{S}
 If you can find him, I can dig him up myself.{S}
 Did you see what he had on him?{S}
 I was starting to think I would have to bust in and get an eyeful of that spicy sister of yours.{S}
 One of his smugglers is holding out on him.{S}
 Name's Oskias.{S}
 Beraht got word that he is been selling shipments topside that never make it to Beraht's ears down here.{S}
 He wants us to find the rotter and see what goods he is holding back.{S}
 All he told me is "Find him."{S}
 Duster's got some family from the Merchant Caste.{S}
 First, we take back anything he stole and <emp>then</emp> we kill him.{S}
 Whatever lets you sleep at night, my friend.{S}
 I mean, Beraht does not let anyone swindle him and live.{S}
 Bringing his head on a plate is completely optional, though.{S}
 Anything that Beraht might cut someone's head off to get. <desc>Sigh</desc> What can I say?{S}
 It starts, "Oh, you are really, really cursed to have no caste.{S}
 I guess we will have to stick to playing the heavies for Beraht.{S}
 Unless Rica picks up a patron who fancies casteless boys, this is pretty much it.{S}
 Those perfect lips, just made to be screaming my name...{S}
 You must have had a few naughty thoughts yourself, huh?{S}
 Did you ever sneak a peek when she was bathing?{S}
 Do not tell me.{S}
 That does have its appeal...{S}
 At least I would have something to eat.{S}
 But much as I would love to keep chatting, we would better get down to business.{S}
 So, you ready to find this surfacer, or what?{S}
 We will not get very far if you keep stopping to chat.{S}
 Hey, what Leske do not know about the carta's not worth knowing.{S}
 Unless you are maybe higher up and you know things I do not.{S}
 I haven't met most of them.{S}
 Beraht does not like the grunts to get too cozy.{S}
 You try to get Beraht's attention by being too good, he will think you are a threat and dump you in the Deep Roads.{S}
 Stay too quiet, he may decide you are worthless and do the same.{S}
 A lot of stuff grows up top that folks down here got no other access to.{S}
 And the skyers up there'll give 'em by the wagon in return for gold or some shiny magic lyrium.{S}
 Plenty of smuggling went on before, but Beraht put it all under his protection and spread around enough coin and muscle to back it up.{S}
 He practically has a private army on his estate, and he is bought enough guardsmen that no one ever looks.{S}
 Humans have their lords and their peasants, and everyone hates the elves.{S}
 They do not even notice it.{S}
 They do not want anybody polluting Orzammar with skyers' ideas, so they say if you come back, you come back casteless.{S}
 Prove to the Assembly that you are the embodiment of virtue and convince the majority of noble families to elect you a Paragon.{S}
 Short of that... if your sister can get herself stuffed with some noble's son, she will be raised to be an official concubine.{S}
 Man's a surfacer, so all he usually gets is that swill they make from grain or whatever.{S}
 Do not start dipping into that moss-wine.{S}
 You know what it did to your mother.{S}
 We are supposed to look for Oskias, that surfacer Beraht thinks has been swindling him.{S}
 My best guess would be to find where he is hiding, drop a few names, and maybe a knife.{S}
 Then we take back any gold or lyrium he might have been skimming.{S}
 We have to get this stuff back to Beraht before he starts wondering what we have been doing.{S}
 We have got to trade this lyrium in quick and get back before Beraht starts wondering what we have been doing.{S}
 Un& unless you think we should give it all to Beraht.{S}
 Free money.{S}
 He would probably buy that.{S}
 If he knew what Oskias was hoarding, he would not have sent us to look, right?{S}
 We do not need to go that far.{S}
 Let us just head over to Olinda.{S}
 Then we would better go find Olinda.{S}
 She used to give me crusts off her week's-end loaf when I was little.{S}
 She is got a soft spot for me.{S}
 Woo, you should hear her go about how it is blackmail to pay protection money and the casteless deserve better.{S}
 She is got a stall in the commons not too far from Tapsters.{S}
 She will give us a fair deal and Beraht will not hear about it.{S}
 Then let us head back to Olinda.{S}
 If Beraht finds out Oskias ran, he will kill you.{S}
 He will make you kill me, then yourself.{S}
 Then he will probably stew us and serve us to the poor.{S}
 We should bring Beraht the lyrium as proof of what Oskias was doing.{S}
 We should sell this quick and report back before Beraht starts wondering what is taking so long.{S}
 We really should get back to Beraht.{S}
 I have never been to a Proving.{S}
 Go north on the commons and take the first door that says, "No Brands."{S}
 You really should pay attention.{S}
 We are going to find some fighter named Everd and make sure he wins every fight.{S}
 We will have to check his schedule and see who he is up against.{S}
 Take these humans and elves who've spent their whole lives flitting around and eating figs and teach them to fight darkspawn.{S}
 Of course they are going to need a dwarf to help them.{S}
 Here they get to pick from the best of the vein.{S}
 They say you can go an entire lifetime without a single darkspawn setting foot on the surface.{S}
 They are the only surfacers who care what happens here.{S}
 They drove the darkspawn back in every Blight, and people say they have got some secret magic that lets them do it.{S}
 Put on that armor and everyone hails you as a hero...{S}
 It'd be great, except for the part where you have to hunt darkspawn.{S}
 I have spent my whole life trying to <emp>save</emp> my skin.{S}
 I was in the Diamond Quarter once when they brought back a trophy from the Deep Roads.{S}
 We do not.{S}
 Unless there are enough darkspawn to go up there, because that means there is something leading them.{S}
 Which means possibly the end of life as we know it.{S}
 Not like turning your back on the Stone to take a caravan topside.{S}
 The king decreed long ago that a dwarf who joins the Wardens retains his caste.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 To save a bunch of elves and humans who would otherwise end up as a darkspawn buffet?{S}
 You know, two sweaty Warrior Caste men, all oiled up by servant girls and wrapped in shining smith-wrought steel.{S}
 Do not tell me you never wanted to sneak in and see one for yourself.{S}
 And no warrior wants some brand watching while he gets laid out.{S}
 It makes it harder to take him seriously when he flogs you.{S}
 I bet you could beat the beards off most of those overstuffed swaggers.{S}
 We should find the fighters' preparation chambers.{S}
 Make sure you have everything and go tell the Proving guard you are ready to fight.{S}
 And do not forget to keep your helmet down!{S}
 I got him!{S}
 How hard did they sodding hit you, anyway?{S}
 Did you have to put up such a fight?{S}
 Oh, you did.{S}
 And do not think they did not show <emp>me</emp> their appreciation.{S}
 Keep your voice down.{S}
 After they locked us in the Proving master's booth for a while, a whole squad of guards transferred us here.{S}
 Loss of your <emp>right</emp> hand for befouling a smith's work...{S}
 Public flaying for impersonating a higher caste, and if that does not kill you, they will put you to death for polluting the Proving.{S}
 That Grey Warden suggested exile, but it did not seem like anyone was listening.{S}
 I checked, and the cell is built straight into the cave wall.{S}
 That door's the only way out and they confiscated my lock-picks.{S}
 You think I did not look for a way out?{S}
 But these cells are built straight into the wall, and they confiscated all my lock-picks.{S}
 I mean, I have been in most of them.{S}
 They do not usually have... this many bloodstains on the walls...{S}
 One of the guards recognized me and figured we must be working together.{S}
 They burned three candles to the stump interrogating me about who put us up to this.{S}
 I do not want to die!{S}
 What do we do now?{S}
 There is nowhere in Orzammar that Beraht will not find us.{S}
 Let me out of here!{S}
 Do not leave me!{S}
 If we want to get away with this, we can not leave one man alive to tell Beraht what we have done.{S}
 Did you see him there, all, "When we are done with you?"{S}
 You have to be the luckiest duster in Orzammar.{S}
 But I will not turn down the chance to go take another peek.{S}
 I mean, it does not do you any good if she thinks you are most virile warrior in all the Stone...{S}
 Now let us go find somewhere to hide.{S}
 Do not push it, salroka.{S}
 Beraht kept his place by making sure it was always dusters like us who took the fall.{S}
 We have got to lay low for a while.{S}
 Fortunately, if Beraht's got them trained like he says, it should be a good long time before any guardsmen turn up here.{S}
 And <emp>maybe</emp>, if Beraht's family topside does not figure out who killed him, they will keep doing business with us.{S}
 And then, maybe, we will have the chance to take over.{S}
 Until then, let us just get out of here.{S}
 I am trying to make sure you do not do something stupid.{S}
 That was as close to begging as Beraht gets.{S}
 We should get out of here before the guardsmen come.{S}
 Oh, if wishes only made it so, salroka.{S}
 We would need to build up the whole thing from scratch.{S}
 If you stay here, you are more likely to end up on the headsman's block than sitting pretty in Beraht's estate.{S}
 Well, do not you worry about that.{S}
 Ol' Leske'll take care of her...{S}
 And up there, no one cared about the brand on my face.{S}
 Everyone in that Proving fought darkspawn, and you sure flogged them.{S}
 But it will be good to keep you around to blame things on.{S}
 You do not watch out, salroka, you will end up a Paragon.{S}
 And then I will never hear the end of it.{S}
 I mean, why should I have to work when you are going to be living the easy life, fighting darkspawn?{S}
 Why do I think you mean that literally?{S}
 I will check in every night, make sure no one's slipped anything poisonous down her blouse... sleep beside her...{S}
 I will make sure she is all right.{S}
 Before I make a fool of myself.{S}
 Now get out of here, before the Warden realizes what you are like without all that armor.{S}
 Get going already... before I start to cry.{S}
 Just tell me what we are doing.{S}
 I want to get this over with.{S}
 So, what does Beraht have for us?{S}
 Let us show this duster what Beraht does to cheaters.{S}
 I do not think it is right to just kill this guy.{S}
 But let us at least find out what he is done.{S}
 What do we do with him if he has been holding out on Beraht?{S}
 What sort of goods are we trying to find?{S}
 Give it to me; I am ready to crack some heads.{S}
 There has to be something better out there.{S}
 What is he got for us today?{S}
 I would not try for a public recital just yet.{S}
 Shut up about Rica, or you will not have a tongue left.{S}
 That I might have to feed you your spleen.{S}
 I was hoping our mission was me making fun of you.{S}
 Let us get this skyer before Beraht gets angry.{S}
 You have been in the carta a long time, huh?{S}
 Let us go see what this smuggler's been doing.{S}
 How do I rise higher in the carta?{S}
 How did Beraht come to control the carta?{S}
 How'd someone like you end up casteless, anyway?{S}
 Where do you think we can find Oskias?{S}
 And what did Beraht want us to do to him?{S}
 Let us just go to Beraht.{S}
 We will sell one and tell Beraht we found one on Oskias.{S}
 Stop worrying and let us go back to Olinda already.{S}
 We are keeping it all.{S}
 I just wish I could have left with him.{S}
 He will never find out.{S}
 Maybe we will get to see some fights.{S}
 Let us hurry.{S}
 Do you know where to find this place?{S}
 What did Beraht want us to do again?{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 What is the Proving like?{S}
 What would the Grey Wardens want from a Proving?{S}
 Humans and elves do not normally fight darkspawn?{S}
 Why does everyone respect the Grey Wardens so much?{S}
 I have never actually seen a darkspawn.{S}
 Have you?{S}
 I do not want to think about that.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 Why should we care what happens topside?{S}
 Does not joining the Wardens mean going to the surface?{S}
 Why would a dwarf want to join the Grey Wardens?{S}
 Let us get going before we miss the Proving.{S}
 Neither have I.{S}
 Why would the Grey Wardens care who wins this Proving?{S}
 Do not stain anything.{S}
 Now we have the chance.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Why do not they even let us in to watch?{S}
 Well, let us at least watch.{S}
 I just hope I took some of them down with me!{S}
 How did you get here?{S}
 We need to go.{S}
 This does not look like a typical guard's cell.{S}
 As long as he never made it to Rica.{S}
 Let us just get out of here before the guardsmen show up.{S}
 Do you really want to say that when I am holding a weapon?{S}
 And now we step up and take things over.{S}
 Let us get out of here.{S}
 Let us just make sure Rica's okay.{S}
 I want to take over the carta.{S}
 Are you trying to ruin my moment of triumph?{S}
 I was hoping he would have time to beg for mercy.{S}
 Let us get out of here before anyone comes to investigate.{S}
 I do not know what I was thinking.{S}
 I do not want to leave Rica.{S}
 But everyone says the surface is so awful and open.{S}
 I do not know how to fight darkspawn.{S}
 Take care of Rica for me.{S}
 This is the end!{S}
 There is a vent behind Gevast's, and he do not mind if you use it.{S}
 Do you mind?{S}
 I have nothing you can afford, and as long as you are here, no one else will come.{S}
 Are you going to take that tiresome, "The world is against me," attitude?{S}
 I am sorry, I have nothing <emp>you</emp> would want.{S}
 I do not sell rags and rotten food.{S}
 I do not know how you casteless can live like that.{S}
 Nothing we need here anyway.{S}
 I do not care what you do.{S}
 But if you try to steal anything, I am calling the guards.{S}
 That is what I do not understand.{S}
 You think life has knocked you so far down, you can take whatever you need to pull yourself up.{S}
 Yet you will not go somewhere you would be allowed a trade of your own.{S}
 According to the Assembly, that makes me casteless, so I have to wear a temporary brand.{S}
 Fine, but try to steal anything, and I am calling the guards.{S}
 That is what I find so exasperating about you casteless.{S}
 You live off charity and do nothing to better yourself.{S}
 That does not make me like you.{S}
 I have a trade, a role in society.{S}
 It is true that in Orzammar, I have no accepted caste.{S}
 I use a washable ink and when I return home, it is gone first thing.{S}
 I cannot imagine wanting to wear the beastly thing every day.{S}
 You like being denied the chance to do a job when you know you have strength and skill?{S}
 You like having to beg?{S}
 Or maybe you think being casteless gives you a license to steal from those who do make an honest living?{S}
 You certainly do not choose to live any other way.{S}
 If you were on the surface, you could open a shop, claim land and start a farm, and get legally married by the human Chantry.{S}
 Orzammar is the only place in the world that will treat you like this, yet you all stay.{S}
 This is why none of you ever get out of Dust Town.{S}
 And what has the Stone done for you?{S}
 Well, according to them, Orzammar is tiny and cramped and dank and ugly, so I think it is all in what you are used to.{S}
 Now unless you are going to buy something, I need to unload and get home before the rains set in.{S}
 I hope you make better luck for yourself in the future.{S}
 My name is Ademaro.{S}
 Are you going to have me arrested for standing here?{S}
 Just let me see what you have for sale.{S}
 Leske, let us go.{S}
 You think I am just going to stand here and take that?{S}
 I do not have much choice, do I?{S}
 Shut up and let me see your wares.{S}
 You can not treat me like that.{S}
 Why do you wear a casteless face-brand?{S}
 You have another suggestion?{S}
 You think I choose to live like this?{S}
 They say surface dwarves lose touch with the Stone.{S}
 The vein at Korbeth is starting to run low.{S}
 We will need to strike out for new ground.{S}
 I am going to watch the Proving.{S}
 No casteless are allowed at the Proving!{S}
 I think what my friend meant to say is we have passes to clean the trenches between bouts, see.{S}
 He, uh, took a few too many kicks to the head as a training stand-in, you know.{S}
 She, uh, spent a little too much time with the tanner's fumes, you know.{S}
 Grey Wardens do not need some eyesore getting between them and the fighters.{S}
 But I have a pass right here.{S}
 You look like someone who could use a spare copper.{S}
 What do you say?{S}
 I am a happily married man.{S}
 All you will get from me is good solid coin, and it will not take any work on your part.{S}
 No work.{S}
 Just money for something you are not even using.{S}
 You look like you still got all your teeth, nice and healthy.{S}
 I craft replacements for nobles who have lost theirs.{S}
 I can pay you real handsome for some of those.{S}
 One silver for two; what do you say?{S}
 You looking to make a quick bit?{S}
 You haven't even heard my offer, boy.{S}
 You haven't even heard my offer, girl.{S}
 I have got a different offer.{S}
 We do not need that high a profile.{S}
 Now let us get back before you land us both in a cell.{S}
 No work's legitimate if they let you do it, boy.{S}
 No work's legitimate if they let you do it, sweetness.{S}
 The Assembly declared back in Darbir's reign that it insults the ancestors for casteless to perform any work the recognized lineages can do.{S}
 Now, do you want it or not?{S}
 One and a half silvers, and that is my best offer.{S}
 You will not get a better price.{S}
 There are some who would just take what they want off someone like you.{S}
 I am offering an honest deal.{S}
 What do you say?{S}
 That depends what you are thinking, but you got some good fortune that it does not look like you are making full use of.{S}
 Offer withdrawn.{S}
 I am sure I will find some other brand who is happy to have it.{S}
 You have got a job for me?{S}
 I am not going to sell my teeth!{S}
 Do you have any idea who I work for?{S}
 Do you think you could call a guard before I knock you out?{S}
 Do not you have any legitimate work for me?{S}
 Maybe I should just take that silver for myself.{S}
 You old scamp, what're you doing here?{S}
 Trying to charm me out of another set of ribbons for your girl?{S}
 Trying to talk you into being my girl, Olinda.{S}
 Do not you go saying that around my husband.{S}
 Get out of here, then, before that silver tongue gets you in real trouble.{S}
 Where exactly would someone like you pick up lyrium?{S}
 I can guess who you might have got this gift from.{S}
 Leske, you know I do not do his business.{S}
 You will not get in with Beraht if you buy it.{S}
 Did not I tell you she is a gem!{S}
 How much do you have?{S}
 I can give you thirty silvers per nugget.{S}
 It is less than it is worth, I will not lie to you, but the market for it is topside and that will not be easy for me to reach.{S}
 And I will have to find a buyer who will not ask where it came from.{S}
 I will tell you plain, you will not find another merchant in this quarter who will not feed him whatever he asks.{S}
 Because we have it, and the folks topside need it.{S}
 It is what their mages use to power their spells.{S}
 And it is the only metal that will let magic stick to a shield or sword.{S}
 Now do you want the deal or not?{S}
 It is dangerous to start playing secrets with Beraht.{S}
 Let me take that off your hands.{S}
 I can slide you the mark-up, being that you are friends, but I can not give anything away for free.{S}
 I will slide you on the mark-up, being that you are friends, but I can not give anything away for free.{S}
 I will slide on the mark-up since you are Leske's friend, but I can not give anything away for free.{S}
 Just do not touch anything if you can not meet the price.{S}
 What are you two doing back here?{S}
 Well, come back when you have time to gossip.{S}
 We should not make deals behind Beraht's back.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 We have got some lyrium to sell you.{S}
 Where do you think?{S}
 Maybe we will just take it somewhere else.{S}
 I do not think we will sell.{S}
 I will sell you two nuggets.{S}
 I will sell you one nugget.{S}
 Pleased to meet you.{S}
 We should really get going.{S}
 Actually, we have got some lyrium to sell you.{S}
 The shaper does not need your footprints all over his clean clothes.{S}
 I happen to be doing the personal washing of the third assistant to the shaper of memories!{S}
 It took my mother five years of sewing dresses for the head maid to get me noticed.{S}
 After my mother took five years of her personal time sewing fine dresses for the head maid at the Shaperate?{S}
 Mother tells me they never considered a single other candidate when the position opened for under washer.{S}
 I serve my betters, as is my place, decided by the ancestors who granted my mother my birth.{S}
 Everything we do or are.{S}
 Casteless and criminals are not allowed in a shaper's presence.{S}
 Get away from me.{S}
 I will tell my father you tried to violate me!{S}
 Whatever horrid deviants you are descended from were written out of the histories and deemed unworthy to join the ancestors.{S}
 I am not going to risk my position by having someone see you near his robes.{S}
 I will let you get back to your washing.{S}
 You work for a shaper?{S}
 What exactly does a shaper do?{S}
 Is working for a shaper that prestigious?{S}
 I did not touch anything!{S}
 The ancestors were smiling on my bets today.{S}
 Hey, I am trying to have a drink here.{S}
 I did not see anything.{S}
 Take a close look before you finish that sentence.{S}
 Are you sure you want to make us insist?{S}
 I did not realize who sent you.{S}
 I did not realize you are one of <emp>his</emp>.{S}
 He is got that look about him, surfacer and all.{S}
 You know I always do.{S}
 Paid up front, though, good silver.{S}
 What is he done?{S}
 You are free to drink here any time.{S}
 And, uh, whatever else you got to do.{S}
 Just trying to make conversation.{S}
 You, uh, do what you have to.{S}
 Just... try and keep it neat.{S}
 I am still paying for this space.{S}
 You, uh, you do what you have to.{S}
 You do what you have to.{S}
 Seems you have got an open-door policy on martyrs, though.{S}
 Just tell me if you have got a customer named Oskias.{S}
 Take a closer look before you say that.{S}
 Tell me if you know where to find a man named Oskias.{S}
 Refused to serve me ale.{S}
 You want to make that your business?{S}
 Made Beraht unhappy.{S}
 It is tiring work looking for you.{S}
 H-how do you know my name?{S}
 This is a public place; you got no right...{S}
 Try stealing from me and he will--{S}
 I have known him since we were both on the teat.{S}
 What did he tell you?{S}
 He does not think I would play the turncoat, does he?{S}
 I do not know what you are talking about.{S}
 You probably have the wrong Oskias, see.{S}
 I just got here this morning.{S}
 I never did anything.{S}
 Beraht's got no reason to send you after me!{S}
 I do not think I could handle--{S}
 I just want to make sure nobody, uh, does anything too hasty.{S}
 How's a man supposed to think when you start threatening like that?{S}
 Making sure you did not <emp>accidentally</emp> pocket any processed lyrium, you know.{S}
 He is been good to my family; I-I know how much I owe him.{S}
 I do have some lyrium.{S}
 I-I made a side deal with one of the mining families.{S}
 If it worked out, I was gonna bring Beraht his cut, I swear.{S}
 I will give it back!{S}
 I will find more.{S}
 I will get Beraht double what he can make in a year, triple.{S}
 Just please do not kill me.{S}
 Y-you can not do this!{S}
 You two let me know if you need anything.{S}
 Then let me go.{S}
 He is never got to hear of me again.{S}
 I will give you the lyrium; do whatever you want with it.{S}
 Give it to Beraht, sell it yourself, I do not care.{S}
 I-I will get out of the business, open a... a dry goods shop.{S}
 Keep the lyrium.{S}
 I have uh, got a lot of lyrium... maybe we could work something out.{S}
 Surfacers pay good coin for lyrium.{S}
 Mages up there, they use it for their spells, smiths use it in enchanted weapons...{S}
 I just took the money and ran.{S}
 Oh, please do not kill me.{S}
 I just picked up a few nuggets down here.{S}
 If I were to... maybe give you a piece, that is a lot of coin.{S}
 I-I do not got any coin myself.{S}
 I make that topside.{S}
 But you can take the ore, sell it, maybe get enough to get out of this nest?{S}
 Take it.{S}
 Will you let me go now?{S}
 I got buyers up top who will take me down fast if I turn up empty.{S}
 Please, I-I can give you one nugget; th-that is a lot of silvers.{S}
 All I have is the two nuggets, but they are yours if you let me out of here.{S}
 We would need to sell it before we go back to Beraht.{S}
 Not unless you find a merchant who does not work with Beraht, you will not.{S}
 She likes me and refuses to work with the old man.{S}
 We will have to tell Beraht he is dead.{S}
 If he ever finds out...{S}
 Tell you what--cut me in fifty and we will take it to Olinda.{S}
 She likes me and refuses to work with the old man.{S}
 Keep him still.{S}
 I am gonna search his bags.{S}
 I-I am getting out of here.{S}
 I do have some lyrium ore.{S}
 I have a little deal with one of the mining families.{S}
 If we like what we see, you keep breathing.{S}
 And what will he do when he finds out you are cheating him?{S}
 Did you think Beraht would not find out you are cheating him?{S}
 We are here to stop you from making a big mistake.{S}
 Let us just say we have got a mutual friend.{S}
 If you did nothing wrong, you have got nothing to fear, right?{S}
 There is no reason we can not keep this civilized.{S}
 I may be, but blubbering'll just make it take longer.{S}
 If Beraht ever found out about that, he would kill me.{S}
 Why would I take that kind of risk?{S}
 You should not have tried to buy me with them.{S}
 Give me one good reason not to kill you.{S}
 Who have you been selling to?{S}
 How long have you been cheating Beraht?{S}
 How much ore did you take?{S}
 Hold him still, Leske.{S}
 We do not steal from Beraht, and you should not either.{S}
 Actually, I would better not take that risk.{S}
 Give me all you have, and I will pretend you were not here.{S}
 Fine, I will take it.{S}
 One nugget, and I let you live.{S}
 Sorry, salroka, that offer's not good enough.{S}
 We would better do this straight.{S}
 I will sell it before we go back to him.{S}
 Let us just play this straight.{S}
 Deal.{S}
 Got it?{S}
 But I just need to make sure.{S}
 Then why have you been holding out on him?{S}
 You think that is going to convince me? <desc>Contestants in the Proving drink from this water to cleanse themselves before the fight.</desc> <desc>Despite the drug, the water appears untouched.</desc> <act>Drug the water in the basin.</act>{S}
 All you have got to know how to say is, "Aye, Mistress."{S}
 Go to the northern end of the commons and show the guard your pass.{S}
 Without it, you will not be allowed on the grounds.{S}
 Go to the Proving, make sure his fighter wins.{S}
 Find out who he is fighting, and if it is Mainar, use the drug to make sure he will not be a problem.{S}
 If this is too tough for you, I am sure we can find something that suits you better.{S}
 You do not recognize me?{S}
 All you need to know is that I am Beraht when Beraht's not here.{S}
 And I am getting mighty impatient...{S}
 Did you want me to tell Beraht you are prying into his private life?{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 You will get a chance to speak to him.{S}
 They might be the last ones you will get.{S}
 Do not dig us in deeper by insulting Beraht's top lieutenant.{S}
 Get you out?{S}
 Who do you think put you <emp>in</emp>?{S}
 You caused a lot of trouble today.{S}
 The entire Proving was declared invalid, and the Assembly already called for an investigation.{S}
 You can not imagine the state Beraht was in when he told me to get you.{S}
 And I do not think I appreciate the time and money it took to bribe the right people to get you back.{S}
 You have got every guardsman at that Proving thinking if he takes your head off, the ancestors will bless him forever.{S}
 But they know whose hand holds the whip.{S}
 When Beraht claimed you, they knew who is going to get to watch your last breath.{S}
 I do not think scaring you is what Beraht has in mind.{S}
 That is right, you have never had the privilege of being down here.{S}
 He built it into the ruins of old Orzammar.{S}
 All he needs to know is that you exposed him before the entire Warrior Caste.{S}
 Now they are asking questions, and as long as you have tongues to answer them, you are a threat.{S}
 Beraht'll be by soon to make sure you maintain your silence.{S}
 Sorry we had to put you in separate cells, or I would suggest you have a last tumble.{S}
 I brought you.{S}
 Where can I find the Proving Grounds?{S}
 What did Beraht want me to do again?{S}
 What exactly do you do for the carta?{S}
 Do I know you?{S}
 Did you come to get us out?{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 Let him come.{S}
 He will see I do not scare so easily.{S}
 All we did was follow his orders.{S}
 Let me talk to Beraht.{S}
 But how did we get here?{S}
 Stone-met and blessings on your house.{S}
 Has it changed?{S}
 Do they say the Grey Wardens are disrespectful, then?{S}
 We do the same in my part of Ferelden.{S}
 You are not here for the Proving, are you?{S}
 My name is Duncan.{S}
 Pleased to meet you.{S}
 Then you have certainly proved your courage, though I hope I am not quite so fearsome as all that.{S}
 The Wardens are always looking for those who have the courage to spend their lives in battle against the darkspawn.{S}
 It is rare we find those with both the skill and the will.{S}
 It is a lot to look for, but I hope to find it here.{S}
 And I hope you also may find what you are looking for.{S}
 Actually, I am glad I met you.{S}
 I never turn down the chance to meet someone new.{S}
 And let us hope we both find what we are looking for.{S}
 We will use force if you resist.{S}
 Your escape from Orzammar's prison had the guards baffled, it seems.{S}
 Do not take that tone with a Grey Warden!{S}
 So, I think you and your guardsmen owe us a little gratitude.{S}
 Beraht had many enemies, but also powerful allies.{S}
 Beraht would have butchered us if he hadn't killed him first!{S}
 Your friend has once again demonstrated his courage.{S}
 We Grey Wardens travel far and wide in search of those with the potential to join our ranks.{S}
 It seems I have found one.{S}
 Let me make my offer formal.{S}
 I, Duncan of the Grey Wardens, extend the invitation for you to join our order.{S}
 You can not do this!{S}
 It would mean traveling to the surface lands and thus leaving your people, but it does offer you the chance to strike a blow against the darkspawn and the Blight.{S}
 Fighting the darkspawn is something we can teach, the rest that you know must come naturally.{S}
 From what I have seen you have not only the skill to best the most promising warriors in Orzammar, but also the courage to take on your betters.{S}
 Few I have met are so qualified to join.{S}
 Then you will be subject to whatever sentence the shapers choose to impose.{S}
 I would spare you from it, and for an excellent cause.{S}
 I can also give nothing in return for these hazards.{S}
 In joining me, you leave all you know behind.{S}
 Why do not you see what they have to say before you give your final answer?{S}
 We must be off to meet the king of Ferelden.{S}
 Do you have any goodbyes to say?{S}
 Then do so, and return to me as soon as you can.{S}
 Before we brave the Deep Roads, I would like to make you a gift of this mace, since you have so few possessions of your own.{S}
 I know you will continue his proud example.{S}
 You can not do this!{S}
 That I have found what I sought in Orzammar.{S}
 Beraht would have butchered us if she hadn't killed him first!{S}
 Your friend has once again demonstrated her courage.{S}
 You do not speak until the shapers have judged you!{S}
 Did you not suggest this Beraht might have arranged their convenient escape?{S}
 Have you spoken with your friend and sister?{S}
 Our agreements with the Assembly of Orzammar give the Grey Wardens the right to conscript any warriors we require.{S}
 This man's quick wits and strong arm would strengthen our order, and I am conscripting him to join.{S}
 I am sorry you do not come willingly, but you <emp>will</emp> come.{S}
 I hope that eventually you will recognize this as a fresh start.{S}
 This woman's clever mind and quick hand would strengthen our order, and I am conscripting her to join.{S}
 Then before these witnesses, I hereby recruit you into the Grey Wardens.{S}
 I am glad you were able to speak once more with those who care for you.{S}
 I would not like to return and discover we have arrived too late.{S}
 Uh, Stone-met yourself.{S}
 Well, I do not exactly have a house...{S}
 Is it true you are here looking for recruits?{S}
 And yes, you can have me arrested for harassing you.{S}
 Now you have to stop talking to me?{S}
 I have to go now.{S}
 What are you all doing here?{S}
 What does this Grey Warden care what happens to me?{S}
 But I have never ever seen a darkspawn!{S}
 I am not going no matter what you say.{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 Get me out of here.{S}
 Let us go now.{S}
 On second thought, that does sound like a better plan.{S}
 You can not do that!{S}
 I need more time.{S}
 I have.{S}
 I am ready to join you.{S}
 I have more I want to do, first.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Only fighters are allowed in these chambers!{S}
 You have got that right.{S}
 And I bet you are the envy of everyone in Dust Town, working so close to the ancestors' favorites.{S}
 You have got my permission to brag.{S}
 How about you come back after the fight and I will show you how I like being served...{S}
 I do not care about your name, brand.{S}
 And do not let them tell you Mainar is not generous with his favors.{S}
 But for a pretty lady like yourself, I would be happy to make an exception.{S}
 You got used to the smell of your brothers' blood, but never to the genlocks' reek.{S}
 If they had not just called my bout, I would show you what happens to insolent soldiers under my command.{S}
 It takes great skill, for if you let one wound you, the taint festers until you run mad.{S}
 But it is what I was born to do, like my father and his.{S}
 It is ill luck for me to touch someone the ancestors have cursed.{S}
 If you wish a tale to bring your children, return when my fight is over.{S}
 But if you like, I could tell you tales that would make your friends weep with envy.{S}
 I bet you will still be telling your grandchildren about the day you met the great Mainar.{S}
 You may fill your eyes with whatever you need to tell your tale, but touch nothing.{S}
 I still have to prepare.{S}
 I will not have it.{S}
 Tell them Mainar is insulted that he did not get a real servant.{S}
 I need to finish my preparations.{S}
 Here is three bits to keep you motivated.{S}
 May the ancestors choose the best blade... and may it be mine!{S}
 I do not need luck!{S}
 I led a darkspawn campaign, with over a hundred of the vermin killed.{S}
 You have been through a single raid and you think you know everything about darkspawn.{S}
 But it is the taint you have to watch.{S}
 That is what will get you.{S}
 That is what it takes to lead a good campaign.{S}
 You are trying to rattle me, but after what I have faced, both you and this Proving are small-scale.{S}
 You have promise.{S}
 I already told him I have my victory speech prepared.{S}
 That old man has overstepped his bounds.{S}
 He is lucky I do not march over and demand he face me in the ring.{S}
 If he wants to insult me, he will have to come to me himself.{S}
 He will have to wait until after my preparations are done.{S}
 And you might want to get a tincture for that head cold.{S}
 Good luck getting one yourself.{S}
 May the ancestors choose the best blade...{S}
 What are you doing sneaking around here like that?{S}
 I did not mean to bother you.{S}
 Can...can I tell them I touched you?{S}
 That would be such an honor... just to touch you...{S}
 Maybe I could meet you inside your chambers...{S}
 I am working the waste trenches.{S}
 I did not mean to bother you.{S}
 How did you become such a fearsome fighter?{S}
 You do not look so tough.{S}
 I heard you have survived two darkspawn campaigns.{S}
 How do you fight such creatures?{S}
 Can... can I touch you.{S}
 I have always wanted to meet you.{S}
 Can I take a peek inside?{S}
 I just wanted to wish you luck in the Proving.{S}
 I will take your words to heart.{S}
 The Proving master wants to talk to you.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 He wanted to know if you were getting too feeble to fight.{S}
 He wanted to set up a private meeting with the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Do not keep the Proving master waiting.{S}
 I do not know why everyone's so excited about Mainar.{S}
 Do our unit proud, Everd.{S}
 Stone choose the... honor of... the heart...{S}
 Let us just fight.{S}
 The ancestors have withdrawn their blessings, and embrace a new champion on their field.{S}
 Remove your helmet, warrior, and let all who watched you see your face.{S}
 Show yourself, lest I call the guards and have them do it for you!{S}
 This man has Everd's perfect likeness.{S}
 If you would have me believe you, let me look upon your face.{S}
 Hold your men, I pray you.{S}
 This warrior has defeated the best you have to offer.{S}
 Is that not what this Proving is for?{S}
 We are honored by your presence, Warden, but this Proving is not solely for you.{S}
 There are laws which have governed this arena for a thousand years.{S}
 He has no place here.{S}
 She has no place here.{S}
 I cannot believe Duncan would offer such an honor.{S}
 Let us win some glory for the Wardens!{S}
 You take all the fun out of this part.{S}
 Let us fight.{S}
 Do not challenge me unless you want to taste my blade!{S}
 I am of no caste or clan, but I have defeated you all!{S}
 My victories have earned me your respect. <desc>Snorts and grunts</desc> <desc>Snores</desc> <desc>This heavy, barred door is locked from the outside.</desc> <act>Leave door alone.</act> <act>Use lock-pick.</act> <act>Use cell key.</act>{S}
 You are giving me a headache.{S}
 I do not see nothing wrong.{S}
 Oh, I-I could not do that.{S}
 Mistress Jarvia, she said wait here till the boss gets back.{S}
 She did not lock me up, but she yelled a lot.{S}
 Said if it wasn't treated right away, everyone who would seen her would die.{S}
 I do not want to die.{S}
 Mistress Jarvia said not to let you out.{S}
 I-I will come in there and take a look.{S}
 Now, hold still while I tie your hands behind your back&{S}
 I do not suppose you want to let me out, do you?{S}
 Oooh, I am getting dizzy...{S}
 That is how it started for me, too. <act>Grab his head and slam it against the bars.</act> <act>Pick his pocket while he is distracted.</act>{S}

 Orzammar Proving Grounds{S}
 I will be lucky to get away with my life, it seems. <desc>Gasps</desc> Maybe we could work something out?{S}
 I have no real quarrel with you.{S}
 Wasn't me that wanted you dead, but I know how you can find the one who does.{S}
 Never found out.{S}
 Got the feeling the man I spoke to was doing someone else's bidding too.{S}
 I have some directions written down on how to get to the house.{S}
 Here... it is the best I can do.{S}
 What is his name?{S}
 Do not just stop there.{S}
 Get lost, before we change our minds.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 It is Marjolaine... it has to be.{S}
 Maybe someone saw me... maybe she is finally found me and wants to finish what she started.{S}
 I thought you had escaped from her.{S}
 What do you wish to do?{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I will not let anyone harm you.{S}
 She needs to answer for what she is done to me.{S}
 If we are ever in Denerim, I would like to seek her out.{S}
 We may not have time to spare.{S}
 I doubt it will take long.{S}
 I think I have been running for too long.{S}
 They smell just like Mother used to.{S}
 Do not you recognize them?{S}
 Patron <emp>Find out what Beraht wants you to do</emp>{S}
 You work for the crime lord, Beraht, as one of his enforcers.{S}
 He has a task for you to carry out today.{S}
 So you do not trust me then?{S}
 Is this what you are trying to say?{S}
 I have heard some rumors about Orlesian spies.{S}
 They say you will do almost anything to achieve your goals.{S}
 Something I heard that made spies seem... dangerous.{S}
 I admit I have done many despicable things in my lifetime.{S}
 I do what I have to do.{S}
 So do you.{S}
 So does everybody.{S}
 Sometimes we must do terrible things to get what we want.{S}
 If it is any consolation I always tried to use non-violent means to achieve my ends. <emp>Report to Beraht</emp>{S}
 It often takes more effort though.{S}
 It gives you an element of danger.{S}
 Some bards rely on torture to get what they want.{S}
 It works effectively, as many will bend under the threat of bodily harm.{S}
 You will be surprised how easily a person will open up to you even if all you offer is a listening ear.{S}
 They seek approval, friendship... sometimes love.{S}
 You do not think it is?{S}
 I took what I wanted from them, leaving them none the wiser, and unharmed.{S}
 It is a game, one that can be won with little bloodshed if one plays well.{S}
 You must always use the resources available to you, no?{S}
 Not to do so is a waste.{S}
 I do not believe what I did was particularly villainous.{S}
 How do you live with yourself?{S}
 Good, let us keep our relationship professional.{S}
 I did not say that.{S}
 I did say it would be a something to see, did not I?{S}
 What if I decided to use my charms on you instead?{S}
 Do not you find me attractive?{S}
 Try again.{S}
 You are an interesting person... sometimes I do not know what to make of you, but...{S}
 But I made you laugh!{S}
 Ah, no... do not say that.{S}
 If it will make you feel better, I can fake being charmed.{S}
 I would hate for you to have to fake anything with me.{S}
 I see what you did there.{S}
 You do not have to worry about that.{S}
 Since we are relying on each other, we should not have a relationship based on insincerity, yes?{S}
 You could try to charm me, sincerely.{S}
 All right, when I feel the urge to charm you, I promise it shall be with an open and honest heart.{S}
 I have seen the looks you give to Alistair--the downcast eyes, the coy smiles...{S}
 Oh, no...do not try to protest.{S}
 I know how a woman tries to snare a man.{S}
 Maybe it is subconscious, but you do it.{S}
 I could never do that.{S}
 I suppose that is a compliment, though I do not want to be a person others think of as dangerous.{S}
 I do not like hurting others and even back in Orlais, I would try to use non-violent means to achieve my ends.{S}
 It is a game everyone plays, even if they do it unconsciously.{S}
 Do you miss anything about Orlais?{S}
 Proving Guard{S}
 If you get the chance, you should see it, at least Val Royeaux.{S}
 And you will laugh at this but I miss the fine things I had in Orlais.{S}
 I have never been to Orlais.{S}
 Oh, it would take me a day or two to talk about the many splendors of Orlais--her golden fields, her lush meadows... <emp>Make sure Everd wins the Provings</emp>{S}
 The Warrior Caste is hosting a Proving today.{S}
 Beraht has lots of coin riding on the young fighter Everd and wants you to make sure he wins.{S}
 Beraht gave you a drug to use on Mainar, Everd's opponent.{S}
 Proving Loyalties{S}
 Yes, I am sure it is, but every city has a different personality.{S}
 You have to be there.{S}
 It must have been a big change, moving to Lothering.{S}
 Do you not have fine things now?{S}
 It is sad that many have lost sight of this.{S}
 You can get nice shoes in Denerim.{S}
 I had my eye on a pair my shoemaker was working on.{S}
 You have lost me.{S}
 I just have a weakness for pretty shoes... it is so frivolous of me, I know.{S}
 The shoes made in Orlais were exquisite.{S}
 Not at all like these clunky fur-lined leather boots you have in Ferelden.{S}
 I would not want to run in it, or have to enter battle, but for lounging in a lady's sitting room?{S}
 It is so frivolous and wasteful, I know, but I have such a weakness for lovely shoes.{S}
 Must have cost a lot of gold.{S}
 They are sturdy shoes, but sometimes, a girl just wants to have pretty feet.{S}
 I do not see them making use of something simply for its looks.{S}
 At least they keep the cold out. <emp>Make sure Everd wins the Provings</emp>{S}
 You found Everd, unconscious and too drunk even to stand.{S}
 But first, you need to find some way into Mainar's quarters to poison his water basin. <emp>Make sure Everd wins the Provings</emp>{S}
 You found Everd, unconscious and too drunk even to stand.{S}
 Leske is going to put the drug in Mainar's water; you just need to find a way to distract Mainar. <emp>Make sure Everd wins the Provings</emp>{S}
 You found Everd, unconscious and too drunk even to stand.{S}
 You have also decided not to drug Mainar.{S}
 If you are going to win, you will win by skill alone. <emp>Make sure Everd wins the Provings</emp>{S}
 You have managed to drug Mainar.{S}
 It is time to put on Everd's armor and win the Provings.{S}
 You have seen... and touched, Andraste's Ashes.{S}
 They are the holiest thing on this earth--the remains of the Maker's Chosen.{S}
 I do not know if I am worthy to look upon Her.{S}
 I know... it seems almost irreverent to use Her as a... curative.{S}
 I would not have disturbed them but for the arl's sake.{S}
 How can something so mundane have power?{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 If the Maker has not truly abandoned us, why would Andraste need to intercede with the Maker on our behalf?{S}
 I have never thought of this...{S}
 I do not have any other explanation.{S}
 Why do you even revere Andraste?{S}
 We do not need Andraste if the Maker speaks to you.{S}
 Make up your mind, you can not have both.{S}
 We should get this to the arl as soon as possible.{S}
 If the Maker has not abandoned us, does that make it necessarily true that Andraste was nothing?{S}
 But we do not, so all we can do is believe.{S}
 It makes Her begging the Maker to return completely absurd.{S}
 We should get moving anyway.{S}
 Do you want to win or lose this fight?{S}
 I have heard much about the halls of the dwarven kings, but the stories do it no justice.{S}
 And have you seen those tiny pig-like burrowing animals?{S}
 I wish I could have one as a pet.{S}
 I do not really like being in caves.{S}
 The dwarves have lived here for thousands of years.{S}
 Did you get them topside?{S}
 My mam used to say they do not got no stone to protect them topside.{S}
 If I go up there, I am a-gonna fall into the sky.{S}
 No, that does not happen.{S}
 You just have to hold on real tight with your feet.{S}
 I am <FirstName/>, pleased to meet you.{S}
 Who is to say he did not fall up, eh?{S}
 Do not fall into the sky when you go back up there!{S}
 Do you know anything about the small rodents down here?{S}
 They do not got much meat on them, but down here, you can not be picky.{S}
 Yeah, I can find a nug for you.{S}
 Could even get one from outside the city.{S}
 Those ones in the deeps do not eat as much garbage.{S}
 I will get you a big one for that.{S}
 Give me some time.{S}
 Do not know.{S}
 Lots of people sell them, here in Dust Town.{S}
 I will decide when you bring it.{S}
 How much do you want?{S}
 Stop asking questions and do as I say.{S}
 I will pay you to get me one.{S}
 How would I get one of those?{S}
 That is very interesting, but I need to go.{S}
 I got him.{S}
 Nice doing business.{S}
 You said you would pay me!{S}
 I did?{S}
 I must have lied.{S}
 I went down beyond the mines to get him for you!{S}
 I could buy something proper with that.{S}
 You have made my day.{S}
 He just needs a bath.{S}
 Do not listen to the mean lady; you are not dirty.{S}
 He just needs a bath.{S}
 Do not listen to the mean man; you are not dirty.{S}
 Have fun.{S}
 Ah, Denerim... if we have time, I would like to look for Marjolaine.{S}
 We have a score to settle.{S}
 He told us he would been putting together a side deal for lyrium, but he would already sold it.{S}
 Do share.{S}
 Set Origin.{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 You should be getting ready for your wedding!{S}
 Did you now?{S}
 A couple of weddings are starting soon.{S}
 Yes, we old men are doing our best to keep you kids in the dark.{S}
 Go get married already!{S}
 If you want to hear more, we will go for some ale after you are married.{S}
 Now get going!{S}
 Nothing right now--I have to prepare for the wedding, too!{S}
 I wish there was more I could have done to help.{S}
 Do not take your anger out on me, lad.{S}
 I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, angering the few friends we have in this city.{S}
 Truthfully, I do not know much about the Dalish, except that they are not a myth.{S}
 They appeared as if by magic, emerging from the woods and making quick work of bandits that attacked the caravan.{S}
 Do not harbor any romantic images about the Dalish.{S}
 It still hurts to stand by and do nothing.{S}
 Trying to hide the truth from us.{S}
 I get the point.{S}
 Let us talk later.{S}
 Hey, let me enjoy my last moments of freedom.{S}
 I am just making sure you are attending.{S}
 Well, standing there doing nothing was sure useful.{S}
 I should get going.{S}
 I do not know where my head was.{S}
 This may be the last chance I get.{S}
 Imagine living free like that...{S}
 Do you have any weapons or supplies?{S}
 Well put.{S}
 If this goes badly, we may need somewhere to go.{S}
 There is nothing anyone could have done.{S}
 Spare a coin for a man who was ruined trying to help his family?{S}
 Well, then give me a smile, I will give you my blessing, and we will call it gift enough.{S}
 I worked on the docks, living day to day, never knowing if my family would go hungry...{S}
 The humans always left us the dangerous work in the high beams of the warehouses, or in the water.{S}
 The human foreman had me hauled out and dumped in an alley.{S}
 My sons did not find me until day's end.{S}
 So now I live on the charity of those who do not even have enough for themselves.{S}
 It is my wedding day. <emp>You</emp> should be giving <emp>me</emp> gifts.{S}
 The last thing I need is a beggar's blessing.{S}
 I will give you a boot to the backside.{S}
 Here you go. <act>Give one bit</act>{S}
 The bride is supposed to be pretty and caring <desc>laughs</desc> and <emp>definitely</emp> not late!{S}
 Only humans do not care about being respectful!{S}
 Father said it this morning when my brothers did not want to get out of bed.{S}
 The groom is supposed to be handsome and caring and <desc>laughs</desc> <emp>definitely</emp> not late!{S}
 I wish I was getting married... <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I am not getting married.{S}
 Get lost, will you?{S}
 Where did you hear that?{S}
 Do not worry, it will not start without me.{S}
 Why are not you getting ready?{S}
 Did you see those drunks?{S}
 You are going to love the present I got you!{S}
 I wish I was getting married, too!{S}
 Do not be nervous; it only hurts for a few dozen years! <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 It would have been nice if they would let you have the wedding in the Chantry.{S}
 Do not go do anything rash.{S}
 I wish there was something I could've done.{S}
 You should not have made them angry before.{S}
 Somebody should make a complaint...{S}
 What are we gonna do?{S}
 I hope this does not go poorly.{S}
 Do you even know how to use that weapon you are carrying?{S}
 I do not think this is such a good idea.{S}
 Make sure nobody sees you.{S}
 I do not recognize you, elf!{S}
 The guards will make quick work of--<desc>unnngghhh</desc>.{S}
 You have no idea how long that shem's had it coming.{S}
 He has little respect for women... or elves.{S}
 Now, if you will excuse me, I am getting out of here before the storm hits.{S}
 Look, you will have to do a lot worse than that if you are going to make it out of here in one piece.{S}
 You are one of the girls they brought in, are not you?{S}
 Do not talk to me like that, scum, or I will have the life beaten out of you!{S}
 The last thing this kitchen needs is more disgusting elves stealing silver and spreading their diseases everywhere.{S}
 We could use another hand.{S}
 Get somewhere safe.{S}
 We will do what we can.{S}
 Have you seen a group of elven maidens?{S}
 Do not mind us.{S}
 He probably does not remember us.{S}
 Your father still does not speak of her, does he?{S}
 It is sad she never got to see you all grown up.{S}
 Then we will let you be on your way.{S}
 We have saved a bit of money for this day.{S}
 We would... we would like you to have it to help start your new life.{S}
 Please, we want you to have it.{S}
 Take it.{S}
 When are you going to get this much money again?{S}
 We all did.{S}
 She probably does not remember us.{S}
 Do not hesitate to do what is right if you get the chance.{S}
 Fascinating, but I have got to go.{S}
 I am <emp>not</emp> getting married.{S}
 I do not take charity.{S}
 End of story.{S}
 I will take it.{S}
 Have you seen Soris?{S}
 Any luck finding Soris?{S}
 Have you met my cousin?{S}
 He is getting married today, too.{S}
 They... left to find the Dalish, you see.{S}
 They are elves who supposedly live free, wandering the forests.{S}
 I do not think they really exist, though.{S}
 Well, my brothers certainly believe they do.{S}
 The king would not allow elves to just run free through his woods.{S}
 He told my brothers that, when he was fleeing his homeland, he found the Dalish--or they found him.{S}
 I do not really remember.{S}
 They were probably just taken in by another old story.{S}
 Still, better to be married and have a real life than to remain a child.{S}
 We have met on occasion.{S}
 If I see him, I will let you know.{S}
 We need to go, Soris.{S}
 I do not think Soris considers himself lucky.{S}
 Spends easier!{S}
 But we was thinking you would give ten bits back to buy us some drinks&{S}
 We got to drink to your happiness!{S}
 Do not mind us.{S}
 Now, you go celebrate your big day and we will do the same!{S}
 Did you see that human scum lurking over there?{S}
 I got half a mind to go show him what part of town this is.{S}
 We will, just give us some time to...{S}
 To prepare!{S}
 We will be right here if you need backup!{S}
 Just doing the rounds, collecting wedding presents.{S}
 It will do, I guess.{S}
 Do it.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 Soris and I will take care of it.{S}
 I am sorry, but I have no intention of leaving.{S}
 Surely it has not escaped your notice that I am both armed and armored.{S}
 Try not to die; I will run for help!{S}
 No need, I am not here to fight you.{S}
 Still, I find such bravery most impressive... do you not agree, Valendrian?{S}
 It has been far too long.{S}
 The Grey Wardens are deserving of respect, no matter who wears their crest.{S}
 The worst has happened: a Blight has begun.{S}
 I had heard the news.{S}
 Children, treat Duncan as my guest.{S}
 And for the Maker's sake, take your places!{S}
 Please, do not let me interrupt further.{S}
 I suggest you have your celebration while you can.{S}
 Valendrian and I have known each other for almost twenty years... since the time I tried to recruit your mother, in fact.{S}
 I did.{S}
 She would have made an excellent Grey Warden.{S}
 I never made the offer.{S}
 As there was no Blight and thus no immediate need for recruits, I deferred to his wishes.{S}
 You do not have to trust me, in fact.{S}
 I have already heard a great deal about you, if you must know.{S}
 You have a wedding to attend.{S}
 You do not have to trust me, in fact.{S}
 In fact, some of our greatest heroes have been elven.{S}
 I could tell you a great deal more about them... but I suspect you have other things to do at the moment.{S}
 We dedicate our lives to fighting darkspawn wherever they appear, doing whatever it takes to stop them.{S}
 It seems your temper is not as fiery as I have been led to believe.{S}
 What do you say, Valendrian?{S}
 I would say the world has far more use of those who know how to stay their blades.{S}
 She keeps her composure, even when facing down an unknown and armed human.{S}
 He keeps his composure, even when facing down an unknown and armed human.{S}
 Thank you, Soris, but I want to hear what he has to say.{S}
 Thank you, Soris, but I want to hear what she has to say.{S}
 That may be, but I will point out it <emp>is</emp> being held in public.{S}
 I apologize if my presence has caused a stir.{S}
 I do.{S}
 I believe, however, that I may have already found what I was seeking.{S}
 Then allow me to offer my best wishes on your wedding.{S}
 Are you prepared for what you are about to do?{S}
 An enraged fighter makes mistakes, perhaps fatal ones.{S}
 To find recruits.{S}
 I had hoped to speak to you, but your elder outmaneuvered me.{S}
 I suspect this is why your wedding was moved forward: in hopes that I might let you remain.{S}
 Valendrian did the same thing when I came to recruit your mother.{S}
 I have seen the lad in tournaments and he does know his way with a blade.{S}
 I doubt he had ever seen real combat, however.{S}
 If I have assisted you, then I am pleased.{S}
 Is there anything else I can do?{S}
 Then finish your business; we have not much time.{S}
 Then leave, or we make you leave.{S}
 Then let us start with your thrashing...{S}
 Do you intend on using that weapon?{S}
 Then let us see just how good you are with it.{S}
 And why should I care?{S}
 We should get going.{S}
 Are you recruiting?{S}
 How do you know the elder?{S}
 You tried recruiting my mother?{S}
 Well, we should get going.{S}
 But she did not join.{S}
 How did you know that?{S}
 What exactly do Grey Wardens do?{S}
 Well met, Duncan.{S}
 I had no idea...{S}
 Bring it on.{S}
 Do not speak for me, Soris.{S}
 Let us talk about your impending beating.{S}
 No, just offering greetings.{S}
 So are you going to recruit me or not?{S}
 Do you know anything about Vaughan?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I think so, but I have questions.{S}
 I know you are upset, and with good reason... but there is nothing we can do right now.{S}
 Running after them will just make matters worse.{S}
 So we do nothing?!{S}
 They took my sister!{S}
 Last year, the blacksmith's daughter worked as a chambermaid at the arl's palace.{S}
 Local children found her washed up under the dock.{S}
 Vaughan had his way with her.{S}
 The servants all said that Vaughan had his men to bring her to his chambers.{S}
 When he was done with the girl, she was killed and disposed of.{S}
 Vaughan has never been so bold, but with Arl Urien away, who knows what he thinks he can get away with?{S}
 We must do something!{S}
 Elder, may I offer a suggestion?{S}
 I work inside the palace.{S}
 For that, you will need weapons.{S}
 Allow me to offer you my own longsword and bow.{S}
 But you will do better if you do not have to resort to a simple club or knife and that is all you will find in the Alienage.{S}
 Then your path is set.{S}
 You have had your say.{S}
 They shall try, for their own honor and the honor of the women.{S}
 I will make sure the way is clear.{S}
 When you are ready, meet me at the Alienage gate.{S}
 Trust me when I say my intervention would cause you more trouble than it would solve.{S}
 But what can we do?{S}
 They were taken to the arl's palace, I suspect.{S}
 I am afraid she became a bit uncomfortable after that fiend took the women.{S}
 A few of our drunken wedding guests started threatening her, as she was the only unarmed human around.{S}
 You have always been so strong, such an amazing fighter.{S}
 I thought we might get you in the town guard or...<desc>Sigh</desc>{S}
 When Duncan sent word he was returning, looking for recruits...{S}
 I hope you understand I had your best interests in mind.{S}
 You have always been so clever, so resourceful.{S}
 Do not let anger blind you.{S}
 Vaughan may have taken our women, yes, but Duncan offered you help.{S}
 You have very little time.{S}
 You have returned.{S}
 Has Shianni been hurt?{S}
 Nola did not make it.{S}
 Would you ladies please take Shianni home?{S}
 She needs rest.{S}
 Does he live?{S}
 You have little time.{S}
 Do not panic.{S}
 Let us see what comes of this.{S}
 I seek Valendrian, elder and administrator of the Alienage!{S}
 I take it you have come in response to today's disruption?{S}
 Do not play ignorant with me, elder.{S}
 You will not prevent justice from being done.{S}
 I need names, and I need them now!{S}
 I know that no matter what happened, it has gone too far.{S}
 Your silence puts the entire Alienage at risk.{S}
 I have nothing to say, captain.{S}
 He did it!{S}
 You two certainly match the descriptions we have.{S}
 Get this elf out of the city. <emp>Today</emp>.{S}
 Now, I need to get my men on the streets before this news hits.{S}
 Do not take long.{S}
 I agreed to have you out of the city forthwith.{S}
 I needed a Grey Warden and I found one.{S}
 You did what you had to do to accomplish your mission.{S}
 We need people like you.{S}
 There are far more important matters arising that endanger more than just your people.{S}
 I did not do this for your benefit.{S}
 This one will have to be enough.{S}
 Please, do not leave me here...{S}
 She did it!{S}
 You expect me to believe one man did all of that?{S}
 I do not envy your fate, but I applaud your courage.{S}
 You expect me to believe one woman did all of that?{S}
 I do not envy your fate, but I admire your courage in stepping forward to save your kin.{S}
 Do so and you will put us all in danger!{S}
 Ahh, that it has come to this!{S}
 That will never work.{S}
 Someone will eventually give you up.{S}
 Would the rest of you ladies please take Shianni home?{S}
 She needs rest.{S}
 You have returned!{S}
 I wish we could have done more for them.{S}
 Did anyone see you?{S}
 We... need to get out of town for a while. <desc>Sigh</desc> Thank the Maker they are safe.{S}
 Well, I guess Duncan got his recruit after all.{S}
 Goodbye, young one, and Maker keep you.{S}
 He can not possibly think he will get away with this!{S}
 We do not need any help from you, human.{S}
 Why do not you come with us?{S}
 Let us show them what we think!{S}
 Then we need to do something. <emp>Now</emp>.{S}
 Where did the priest go?{S}
 Why did you move my wedding forward?{S}
 I take it they did not threaten Duncan?{S}
 I will make the humans pay.{S}
 We had no choice.{S}
 Perhaps we should try to find the Dalish. <act>Stay silent</act>{S}
 And if I do not want to be a Grey Warden?{S}
 You do not have to do this.{S}
 You can not touch me!{S}
 You can do that?{S}
 What about Soris? <act>Step forward</act> It was my doing. <act>Step forward</act> It was Soris and me.{S}
 We may need to leave Denerim for a while.{S}
 I am not sure what we should do.{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 You saw what he did.{S}
 He did not deserve to live.{S}
 The arl's family just got a bit smaller.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 We will have to wait and see on the rest.{S}
 We killed some guards, but had to get out.{S}
 The women are fine, but we could not free them.{S}
 So, you landed yourself a pretty little prize, did you?{S}
 Excuse me if I do not congratulate you.{S}
 Your father has the money to get you a great match.{S}
 Meanwhile, what did I get?{S}
 A fat, old man who smells like the docks and would not know what to do with a woman even if he was sober.{S}
 I may have got a poor match, but at least I have some dignity.{S}
 Do not give me your pitiful reassurances!{S}
 Do not act like you care.{S}
 So I see you got yourself a big handsome hulk of a husband.{S}
 You are gonna bring the whole garrison down on us!{S}
 Then excuse me if I do not stay and talk.{S}
 Get out of my face.{S}
 So you are insane, I get it.{S}
 What does that have to do with me?{S}
 Oh, I wish your mother could have been here!{S}
 Maker, your mother would have been so much better at this than I.{S}
 I hope the match I have chosen brings you happiness.{S}
 Since Soris is without parents, his match will be whoever the elder could find...{S}
 It is time for you to have your own life.{S}
 The dowry has been paid, the Chantry has issued the permit, and everything is ready.{S}
 All we need is you.{S}
 You will do well, son.{S}
 Before I met Adaia, I was ready to go hunt for the Dalish.{S}
 Just be glad I chose the match.{S}
 Without parents to represent you, children like your cousin Soris end up marrying whoever the elder can find.{S}
 Do you want to marry someone fifteen years your senior?{S}
 All right, time for you to go find Soris.{S}
 The sooner this wedding starts, the less chance you two have to escape.{S}
 We do not want to seem like troublemakers, after all.{S}
 Adaia made that mistake.{S}
 Well, it is not exactly something that would have made it easy to find a match for you.{S}
 Oh, one last thing before you go, my dear. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Still have your mother's smart mouth, I see.{S}
 I do not know; I haven't met the girl.{S}
 One side gets new blood and a new face, and the other side loses a family member.{S}
 The elder took it in stride, at least.{S}
 Or the family did not want your betrothed traveling later in the season.{S}
 Whatever the reason, I paid the dowry, the Chantry issued the permit, and everything worked out fine.{S}
 Oh, I wish your mother could have been here!{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 But, you and I both know this crime cannot be allowed.{S}
 If... this is what the Maker has planned for you, then I guess it is for the best.{S}
 I suppose you do.{S}
 Take care, my son.{S}
 Take care, my girl.{S}
 Get going before I embarrass us both.{S}
 I am getting married!{S}
 Do I really have to get married?{S}
 But I do not want to get married.{S}
 Instead, I have to marry who you say.{S}
 He will find out sooner or later.{S}
 I take it you did not say anything?{S}
 Do not worry; It will be fine.{S}
 So who did the elder find for him?{S}
 You paid a dowry for my groom?{S}
 You paid a dowry for my bride?{S}
 Why can not I choose who I marry? <desc>Groan</desc> Why today?{S}
 Do not say anything.{S}
 You do not need to say anything.{S}
 Tell me I am doing the right thing.{S}
 I have to go.{S}
 I need another drink.{S}
 Sure, to celebrate taking all your money. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Stop counting and start shuffling.{S}
 Get us those drinks!{S}
 I will blacken your eye if you do not move your arse.{S}
 Why did not you say so?{S}
 Do not give me your back-talk, knife-ear!{S}
 Pour and get out! <desc>Ungh</desc> That is a nasty kick there.{S}
 Drink up boys; it will put hair on your chest. <desc>Coughs</desc> Nasty kick, indeed.{S}
 Nice work!{S}
 Now, let us go before anyone comes.{S}
 Less talking, more serving.{S}
 Do you have our drinks?{S}
 Well go and get them!{S}
 Boys, I think we have got a spy.{S}
 Where did you get a weapon, elf?{S}
 You maggots are gonna die slowly...{S}
 Get out of here.{S}
 I have your drinks right here.{S}
 You would not let me. <act>Give brandy spiked with poison</act> <act>Give brandy</act>{S}
 Sorry, I got confused.{S}
 Get back to your game, and maybe you will live.{S}
 I found it nearby.{S}
 I was bringing it to the armory.{S}
 We have got company.{S}
 You know how this works, boys.{S}
 We wanted to look for work in Highever...{S}
 What my husband means is, you are very generous, but... we do not need charity to solve our problems.{S}
 You can not do anything.{S}
 Enjoy your special day, and put us out of your mind.{S}
 I have heard the ones in Highever are worse than here.{S}
 The human who owns our building has decided to sell it for storage space.{S}
 And if we got another ten silvers, we could rent a house here.{S}
 Maybe one large enough to start a business.{S}
 Nobody has that much money, and if they did, why would they give it to us?{S}
 So my daughter thinks we can not handle our own problems?{S}
 You have embarrassed us both.{S}
 I do not take advice from children, nor do I plan to split up my family.{S}
 Then it is ours to make.{S}
 He would shelter and provide for my daughter?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 What do you think, love?{S}
 When we have made enough, we can return...{S}
 Does he?{S}
 We do not have time for games.{S}
 We have packing to do.{S}
 Fine, have a proud death on the road.{S}
 You should learn to let others help you.{S}
 Is there anything I can do to help?{S}
 Sure, but make it quick.{S}
 Let us go back to the idea of you staying.{S}
 It is a lost cause.{S}
 Take it.{S}
 I think I have a way that she can stay here.{S}
 You are just going to let her become a camp follower?{S}
 You are making a mistake.{S}
 I did not want to go to no stupid wedding, anyhow.{S}
 She made it up.{S}
 We each choose someone from the elder's stories and do furious battle.{S}
 That is 'cause you cheat!{S}
 Do you know any stories about elven heroes?{S}
 You do?{S}
 Oh, what'd he do?{S}
 Did Blargha defeat monsters?{S}
 Did Tathas steal from the humans?{S}
 Did Tathas ever get caught?{S}
 Did Korin defeat great enemies?{S}
 We are playing King Korin!{S}
 We are playing Tathas.{S}
 We are playing Blargha and the Evil Monsters!{S}
 Well, then back to your play.{S}
 What were you two playing?{S}
 Why not play as elves?{S}
 I guess I do not.{S}
 I do not have time for this right now.{S}
 She stole from seven human kings and built a sky palace.{S}
 When the people were in need, she turned herself in.{S}
 She stole from the rich and gave to the poor.{S}
 Yes, she took back what the humans stole from her.{S}
 No, I do not.{S}
 You made it.{S}
 I sent word ahead to get the servant's entrance unlocked.{S}
 I have got some things.{S}
 Put away those weapons and follow closely.{S}
 Try to look natural.{S}
 Keep your wits about you.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Maybe, but do not think every elf you see is your friend.{S}
 Should not we find a change of clothes?{S}
 Where would they take the women?{S}
 Where do I find Vaughan?{S}
 Will we get any help in there?{S}
 Get on with it!{S}
 Maybe Soris wasn't the bravest man, but he gave his life to save mine.{S}
 There is something I need to say first...{S}
 You have always been there for me, but what happened... was beyond what anyone could ever expect from another person.{S}
 Make us proud out there.{S}
 Then get going, already!{S}
 Then get going, already!{S}
 I just do not want them treating me like some fragile doll.{S}
 I will never forget what you two did for me.{S}
 You took all the responsibility for what happened.{S}
 That is what you have always wanted.{S}
 There is something I have to say, though...{S}
 You always do.{S}
 We are still here; that is what matters.{S}
 How are you holding up?{S}
 I wish I could do something.{S}
 I got my reward.{S}
 I have to leave soon.{S}
 I just did what had to be done. <desc>Mmph... mmwa...?</desc> What is going on?{S}
 Do not kill me!{S}
 Let us hope no one finds him before we leave.{S}
 I, uh, think they are in a holding room, just west of here.{S}
 I do not recognize you.{S}
 When did...{S}
 Now get out of here and let me sleep.{S}
 I do not recognize you.{S}
 When did you start? <desc>Ungghhh.</desc>{S}
 Someone would have told me, elf.{S}
 Get out of here and let me get some sleep.{S}
 I do not know if I can do this, Cousin! <desc>Mm... mph... mmmbmm!</desc>{S}
 Answer our questions and we do not gut you.{S}
 Vaughan brought some elf maidens here.{S}
 We are trying to find Lord Vaughan's quarters.{S}
 Yes, Lord Vaughan's having a theme party...{S}
 We start tomorrow.{S}
 Do not you remember?{S}
 Care to celebrate the end of our independence together?{S}
 Let us go introduce you to your dreamy betrothed before you say "I do".{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I will spend the next fifty years with a "nice" girl who hides grain away for the winter...{S}
 Not that we would know where to find them.{S}
 Well, let us get this over with.{S}
 Do not worry; the good part of arranged marriage is that she is stuck with you.{S}
 Let us just talk to your betrothed and get the introductions over with.{S}
 Do not look now, but we have another problem.{S}
 Either way, we need to move him along before someone does something stupid.{S}
 Let us just try to handle this without everyone getting killed.{S}
 Let us just get him out of here.{S}
 Wine is flowing, and I do not think we want another incident.{S}
 Let us just move this human along and get to the wedding.{S}
 Anyway, we should get this show going.{S}
 We know nothing about living in the wilderness and have no money to get there.{S}
 Have you ever gone to Alarith's shop and heard his stories of running from his homeland?{S}
 Well, the humans choose and their marriages do not seem any happier.{S}
 Maybe it is wise to let the elders decide.{S}
 I am trying not to.{S}
 You handled him well, but he seems like the type to hold a grudge.{S}
 But you have never backed down easily.{S}
 You made that up.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 Vaughan took Shianni, Nesiara, Valora, and the rest of the women in the wedding party back to the palace.{S}
 Everyone is getting upset.{S}
 Let us go then.{S}
 Some are calling for blood; others say any action will just make it worse on the rest of us.{S}
 It is getting ugly, fast.{S}
 Let us see what they are talking about.{S}
 You took a hard headshot.{S}
 You will have to worry about that later, though.{S}
 You took a good headshot.{S}
 Hurry, let us find out what is going on.{S}
 I know I said I wasn't thrilled about her... but I did not want this.{S}
 She is always been bitter, but she has a point.{S}
 Let us get moving.{S}
 They burned our house to the ground& and pushed my mother back inside when she tried to escape.{S}
 So... let us just be careful, all right?{S}
 It is not an easy thing to let go.{S}
 Do not start that.{S}
 Getting ourselves killed will not help the women.{S}
 Let us get to the gate.{S}
 We should try to be quiet.{S}
 They... did not hurt you, did they?{S}
 That Grey Warden, Duncan, gave Nelaros and me his sword and crossbow, but that is all we have.{S}
 Nelaros is guarding the end of the hall.{S}
 Let us figure this out with him.{S}
 We snuck in, although Nelaros took down a guard.{S}
 I... did not know what to do.{S}
 I could not let him go alone.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Let us make sure it wasn't in vain.{S}
 Let us keep moving.{S}
 I did not think I would be, but I am.{S}
 Let us keep moving.{S}
 A few moments could make the difference! <desc>Heavy breathing</desc> He... he is dead.{S}
 Tell me we did the right thing, Cousin.{S}
 Shianni needs you.{S}
 Did we... do the right thing back there, Cousin?{S}
 What do we tell the elder when we get back?{S}
 Let us just get back.{S}
 I have a bad feeling about all of this...{S}
 Let us just get back to the Alienage, first.{S}
 I guess that is all we can do.{S}
 But it does not feel right.{S}
 Let us just get back.{S}
 Valora's a good woman, and she has ideas on making life better for everyone here.{S}
 Your father had the women take Shianni back to your place.{S}
 It will break her heart if you do not.{S}
 You have been my hero since we were kids.{S}
 I guess you did, at that.{S}
 I wish I had your nerves, or skill, or... well, anything.{S}
 As you always do.{S}
 I am just not thrilled at the idea of being married.{S}
 Maybe you will get a cage for a wedding present.{S}
 Do not worry, Soris.{S}
 Getting cold feet, Soris?{S}
 What if she does not like me?{S}
 What if he does not like me?{S}
 Anything to put the wedding off for a while.{S}
 Let us go talk to him.{S}
 Let us just kill him.{S}
 One human should not cause much trouble.{S}
 Has he returned?{S}
 Still eager to get married?{S}
 Do you know who is performing the ceremony?{S}
 So you are all right with not picking your own bride?{S}
 Then let us go get married.{S}
 What did you think about that lordling, Vaughan?{S}
 Let us change the subject.{S}
 Anyone would have done the same.{S}
 What, you do not like children?{S}
 Children need elven heroes.{S}
 Maybe he will help get our women back.{S}
 I do not trust humans.{S}
 Let us go see what is happening.{S}
 Let us go listen in.{S}
 Do I look all right?{S}
 Let us do this quickly.{S}
 Do not let it cloud the issue.{S}
 We are gonna kill some humans!{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 We will get them back.{S}
 The others need us.{S}
 Did you have to fight your way in?{S}
 Always have been.{S}
 That is what matters.{S}
 Why did not Duncan come?{S}
 Lucky us, we have nothing to lose.{S}
 Where'd you get the sword?{S}
 Well, I never wanted to get married anyway.{S}
 Let us keep moving.{S}
 Let us find the others and leave this place.{S}
 We need to save the others!{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 But it is done now.{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 It does not matter.{S}
 Just let me do the talking.{S}
 I can keep your half if you are having second thoughts.{S}
 I feel like I just gave up my life.{S}
 Do not mention it.{S}
 I did what was right.{S}
 Do not expect any thanks.{S}
 You abandoned Soris and left me without a husband.{S}
 The Grey Wardens can not have wives or families.{S}
 I guess we will never know what might have been.{S}
 Maybe Valora and I will start a business...{S}
 You have been called to do something truly noble.{S}
 I guess you do not have to get married after all, hmm?{S}
 I will let you two... well... goodbye.{S}
 I guess we will never know what could have been.{S}
 Well, I will not take up your time.{S}
 Now go be a hero or whatever it is you are going to do.{S}
 Nesiara, your betrothed has returned!{S}
 Let us give him time with a woman he actually cares about.{S}
 You abandoned him!{S}
 She seems better... if you care.{S}
 To what end?{S}
 Shianni seems to have regained herself.{S}
 If I can ever do anything to repay you, I will.{S}
 We both lucked out, did not we?{S}
 Well, it would not have been <emp>that</emp> bad...{S}
 You are already taking up my time.{S}
 We elves need to stick together.{S}
 Let go of me!{S}
 Grab a whore and have a good time. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Take this little elven wench, here... so young and vulnerable...{S}
 Touch me and I will gut you, you pig!{S}
 I know what you are thinking, but maybe we should not get involved...{S}
 But let us try to be diplomatic, shall we?{S}
 Another lovely one come to keep me company? <desc>Scoffs</desc> Do you have any idea who I am?{S}
 You have a lot of nerve, knife-ears.{S}
 Let us not endanger ourselves needlessly.{S}
 You will regret what you have done here!{S}
 Then just imagine what we will do to you two.{S}
 Maybe his father should've taught him better manners.{S}
 Take him home.{S}
 If you do not mention this, we will not.{S}
 Look, things got out of hand...{S}
 You need to leave at once.{S}
 Let us just talk this over, shall we?{S}
 I would welcome you getting what you deserve.{S}
 Now get out of my way.{S}
 Shianni will get herself killed!{S}
 I will not let these humans abuse our women.{S}
 I can not get what happened out of my head.{S}
 She did not trust me.{S}
 Maybe she never did.{S}
 She loved me when she could use me and control me, and now that she can not, she wants me dead.{S}
 I knew she was ruthless, but I did not know how far she could go.{S}
 She is self-serving, cruel... she uses people, then discards them, but that is how she survives in the life she leads.{S}
 I should just have stayed in the Chantry.{S}
 Maybe you did and did not want to admit it.{S}
 Is there anything I can do?{S}
 Get over it, we have work to do.{S}
 I did not have to watch my back all the time.{S}
 I could have been wrong about the Maker!{S}
 We would never have met, if you hadn't.{S}
 She would have attacked you there eventually.{S}
 And you think that would have made it better?{S}
 That is what made Marjolaine the person she is, do not you see?{S}
 Even now, I feel some regret at not ending her life, in order to protect my own.{S}
 You do not understand.{S}
 Seeing her dead gave me satisfaction.{S}
 What is important is that you did not act on it.{S}
 I told you we should have killed her.{S}
 What we are doing... what we have done--hunted men down, killed them--part of me loves it.{S}
 What have we here?{S}
 Do not worry; we will make short work of these two.{S}
 What do you think that means?{S}
 All right, let us not be too hasty here.{S}
 You know how this ends.{S}
 Or we could talk this through... now that you have my undivided attention.{S}
 Kill me and destroy everything you care about, or hear me out and change your life for the better.{S}
 You think people care about elven whores?{S}
 You think my father will ignore my death simply because I used some animals as they were meant to be used?{S}
 My father will not let that go.{S}
 You take that money and leave Denerim tonight.{S}
 Does this woman speak for you?{S}
 Does your friend speak for you, as well?{S}
 I do not know, Cousin.{S}
 I do not know... but that <emp>is</emp> a lot of money.{S}
 You two disappear and make a rich new life for yourselves.{S}
 Will you let the women go?{S}
 They will go home tomorrow, slightly worse for wear, and you will be long gone.{S}
 That is the deal.{S}
 Take it or leave it.{S}
 Then... it is a deal?{S}
 Nobody hears about this--not my father, not your neighbors, <emp>nobody</emp>. <desc>Sigh</desc> One of my men will bring you your money once you are outside the palace.{S}
 Start talking, you have only seconds to live.{S}
 You are going to pay for what you have done!{S}
 I have come this far.{S}
 After what we have done?{S}
 Then we will deal with it.{S}
 I am done talking.{S}
 If you have something to say, say it.{S}
 Will you let them go?{S}
 You can not buy me.{S}
 He took your bride, Soris, as well as mine.{S}
 You think we should take it?{S}
 No deal.{S}
 I said yes, did not I?{S}
 That is the deal.{S}
 So long as we get our money.{S}
 Marjolaine chose who she became.{S}
 Do you really think so?{S}
 Hearing you say that gives me comfort.{S}
 I have many things to consider.{S}
 Evil does not worry about not being good.{S}
 I know... and I have thought about pursuing her and... and I take great delight in this thought.{S}
 Do not punish yourself for doing something you enjoy.{S}
 I admit that I took great pleasure in the intrigue back in Orlais.{S}
 I thought I was done with this life... am I wrong?{S}
 All you were doing in the Chantry was running away.{S}
 But even in the Chantry, you know you did not belong.{S}
 There is this thought that floats into my mind constantly--that I lie when I say the Chantry gave me peace when in truth it... it bored me.{S}
 Just... just give me some time alone, for now.{S}
 That is what she would do.{S}
 I do not want that.{S}
 She did you a great injustice.{S}
 Do not punish yourself.{S}
 Do you remember our discussion?{S}
 Do not make me use cold water again.{S}
 Because I begged your father to let me share the good news.{S}
 I sweet-talked your father into letting me share the good news.{S}
 You <emp>do</emp> remember what today is, do not you?{S}
 You are getting married today!{S}
 And who else are you going to marry?{S}
 And who else are you going to marry?{S}
 Well, it is going to happen anyway, so hold your breath and jump in!{S}
 I should go talk to the other bridesmaids and find my dress.{S}
 Did I oversleep? <desc>Argh</desc>...{S}
 According to your breath, it is get-drunk-before-noon day.{S}
 Then I guess I do not have a choice.{S}
 I do not like the idea of this arranged match business.{S}
 So that means we do it now?{S}
 I did not want to admit it, even to myself, but those years in Lothering, I yearned for the freedom and the recklessness that I knew in Orlais.{S}
 The Maker made the world beautiful, but He also made it dangerous.{S}
 To really experience it, I have to embrace this, not... not hide away in some nunnery.{S}
 It was perhaps a clumsy way of starting a conversation.{S}
 Do you think my memory's really that bad?{S}
 Sometimes it takes another to show us the truths we hide from ourselves.{S}
 Maybe... you will just have to wait and see, will not you?{S}
 I have already pledged myself to your cause, so I can not give that again...{S}
 I have a half-eaten heel of bread and some cheese from breakfast?{S}
 You have proven a true friend and I thank the Maker for you.{S}
 I do not really like you and you are a terrible friend.{S}
 I am glad you have realized that.{S}
 So do I get a reward?{S}
 I am sure there is more you can give me.{S}
 Yes, yes... let us not get all sappy here.{S}
 I have found peace in knowing the Maker and nothing will change that.{S}
 I followed you to make the world a better place and as long as I keep that in mind, I will not fall.{S}
 Long ago, the elves lived as slaves to humans, and though they have been free for many generations now, they are far from equals.{S}
 Despite these hardships, Denerim's elves are a strong people who take pride in their close community.{S}
 This is the only world you have ever known... until now.{S}
 I wish things had happened differently but knowing her and knowing me, I do not think it could have.{S}
 I was just trying to say that our experiences shape our personalities.{S}
 Mine made me who I am and...{S}
 You do not have to talk all fancy.{S}
 I just wanted to make sure you were all right.{S}
 We had good times though, and I look back on those fondly.{S}
 I would have done anything for her, once.{S}
 She used to be different.{S}
 She loved music... and had a weakness for sugary cakes...{S}
 I am sorry it ended so badly.{S}
 She did not deserve you.{S}
 That is what they say, and the rest of us just have to move on.{S}
 Look, now I have new friends, new loves... in spite of it all, life... life is good.{S}
 Look, now I have new friends, a new family... in spite of it all, life... life is good.{S}
 I have not met someone that affected me the way she did.{S}
 Have you felt this way about another person? <emp>Talk to your betrothed</emp>{S}
 Soris thinks you both should go have a chat with the people you are about to marry.{S}
 You agreed to join the ancient order of the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Yes, I would do anything for you.{S}
 You have been there for me when no one else has.{S}
 In spite of what has happened, and knowing what might happen soon, I am happy and life is good.{S}
 I think I have.{S}
 You are how she used to be, years ago--a joy to be around, a constant companion and a listening ear in times of need.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 You know you can talk to me if you need to.{S}
 I do not think you would ever do what she did to me.{S}
 I think that day has already come and gone.{S}
 You and Duncan have left the Alienage to join the other Grey Wardens in Ostagar where they prepare to battle the darkspawn. <emp>Talk to the servant at the Alienage entrance</emp>{S}
 You have decided to sneak into the palace to rescue your bride.{S}
 One of the servants will help you get inside.{S}
 We should not talk about these things if it makes you sad.{S}
 Hmm, I have not given this a lot of thought.{S}
 What will I do...?{S}
 I left quite abruptly and I should tie up loose ends if I can.{S}
 What will you do, when this is all over?{S}
 I gave the woman numerous headaches.{S}
 She is probably glad I left and took my strange ideas with me.{S}
 She was always kind to me, even if she did not understand me.{S}
 There is so much out there--adventures to be had and stories to be told.{S}
 I might need some company... and you are not too irritating.{S}
 You and I... wandering the world, seeking our fortunes.{S}
 Before one plans for the future, one should be sure one has one, yes?{S}
 When you put it that way, how can I say no?{S}
 Let us just try to stay alive for now.{S}
 If you see your life as dreary and hopeless, there is nothing I can do.{S}
 Ugliness can be found anywhere, if you look hard enough; the same can be said of beauty.{S}
 I do not want that to change.{S}
 We have traveled far and wide... does it need to end?{S}
 I am going to hold you to your word.{S}
 Do not... do not say that.{S}
 I am not ready to give up on this life, and I do not want to go through it alone, without you.{S}
 We will prevail in the end...{S}
 Whatever life has in store for you, my Grey Warden, I will be at your side.{S}
 I love you and I would follow you to the ends of the earth.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I may have other responsibilities.{S}
 I do not know...{S}
 Marjolaine may be dead, but who knows what other events she set in motion in the years I was away.{S}
 I deserve a fresh start, and I cannot have that if I am pursued by people from my past.{S}
 They must be dealt with.{S}
 I may have to seek a more permanent solution.{S}
 Marjolaine is not done with me.{S}
 Should we keep the knife-eared bitch alive?{S}
 Let us see if you do, too.{S}
 Do not worry, sweet thing; they are being taken care of.{S}
 When Lord Vaughan's done with them, we get our turn.{S}
 There is still beauty to be found in this world.{S}
 Go help Alistair make supper.{S}
 Do you know it?{S}
 She had many suitors, but spurned them all, for she did not love them.{S}
 As their eyes met, he fell in love with her, and she with him.{S}
 I can not say I have heard it.{S}
 I do not know many stories.{S}
 When Alindra told her father about the man she had chosen, he was furious, for Alindra was high-born, but her love nothing more than a common soldier.{S}
 To keep them apart, he had Alindra imprisoned in the highest tower of his castle and sent her soldier to the wars.{S}
 Alas, not a month had passed before news of the soldier's death reached Alindra.{S}
 The gods also raised up the soul of Alindra's soldier love and there he dwells, across the horizon from her.{S}
 They say that when Alindra has cried enough, she will be able to cross the river to be reunited with her soldier.{S}
 Sometimes I ask myself, does such a love exist?{S}
 It is just a story, but sometimes, it is refreshing to set aside what makes sense.{S}
 It does not end so badly.{S}
 It ends hopefully.{S}
 We do not know when, but she will.{S}
 The stars are not made of tears.{S}
 Why do stories always end so badly?{S}
 I have to say there is a certain severity to you.{S}
 Finding a person behind that all is nice.{S}
 Maybe you should let your softer side show more often.{S}
 Sometimes following your heart, not your head, leads you to remarkable places. <desc>Giggles</desc> Of course not.{S}
 Do not tell the others I said that.{S}
 The world gets lonely too quickly, if there is no one to share it with.{S}
 Do you not believe in a pure, true love?{S}
 One day you will find a person worthy of that love.{S}
 I am a Grey Warden; love only makes my life more complicated.{S}
 But maybe this is what gives it value.{S}
 If it is easily gained, if it lasts forever, what reason do you have to cherish it?{S}
 You must put duty before self, I see.{S}
 I pray that one day you will find someone who will restore your faith in love.{S}
 Let us move on now.{S}
 M-make supper?{S}
 So, you have found something other than darkspawn to occupy your time, haven't you?{S}
 Some of us are actually working, not just gazing into space.{S}
 He will ruin it if you do not help him.{S}
 I do not think she was there to tell you a bedtime story.{S}
 I do not see how this is any of your concern.{S}
 Yes, we spent the night together.{S}
 She was... you are.... you are giving her...{S}
 Morrigan was with me because we had something to discuss.{S}
 Well, that is one way of putting it.{S}
 Keep your nose out of our business.{S}
 I suppose I could have made a mistake... well, this is certainly embarrassing.{S}
 I should not have.{S}
 You must have imagined it.{S}
 No, you should not have.{S}
 She got what she wanted, did not she?{S}
 Your relationship might affect our entire group, do not you think?{S}
 You could... could take unnecessary risks for her, putting us all in danger.{S}
 Do not evade the question.{S}
 So you are just playing with her then.{S}
 You... you are bringing up what I might have done to justify...{S}
 You have done the same.{S}
 Just keep your nose out of this.{S}
 You have my word.{S}
 Do whatever you want.{S}
 However, for the benefit of the rest of us and our ultimate goal, do try to be discreet.{S}
 I wish I had never brought this up.{S}
 You think it does not hurt anyone, do not you?{S}
 You have played with men before.{S}
 Do not flatter yourself.{S}
 I have done as you have.{S}
 I have toyed with men in the past.{S}
 There is a particular kind of amusement that only another person can provide, and I certainly indulged myself, back then.{S}
 I was just so angry because you had made a true statement I could not refute.{S}
 Everything I said made me sound like a complete hypocrite.{S}
 That is definitely something I should learn to do... sometimes I get carried away.{S}
 Let us forget it.{S}
 And what you do with yourself in your private moments is up to you.{S}
 Let us just move past this, shall we?{S}
 I am sorry I ever let my pettiness jeopardize our mission.{S}
 Sometimes I succumb and fall asleep, and wake to find you still watchful and I know you are watching out for me.{S}
 W-what I am trying to say is... is that I trust you.{S}
 I know you will be there when I need you.{S}
 You... you felt the same way and did not do me the courtesy of informing me?{S}
 My feelings have been laid bare.{S}
 It is not silly to seek moments to lay down your burdens.{S}
 I have always wanted us to be more than just friends.{S}
 Do not change the subject.{S}
 Yes, go do that before you embarrass yourself further.{S}
 You never have to feel afraid with me.{S}
 That is what friends do.{S}
 Y-you made me say all those things!{S}
 Why could not you have said them first?{S}
 Making the lady spill her guts like that...{S}
 I am fond of you and I care about you... and let us go about our business before the others suspect something.{S}
 Well, yes, b-but.... d-do not question me!{S}
 What, are you saying I have bad taste?{S}
 You are welcome, I try.{S}
 Your spilled guts make me feel loved and accepted.{S}
 I feel the same way, and I am glad you do too.{S}
 He seems to seek pleasure above all things, but there is more to him, is not there?{S}
 He is more complex than he lets on.{S}
 And Zevran deserved special scrutiny, seeing that he tried to kill you.{S}
 If you do, then I do too.{S}
 You haven't led us astray yet.{S}
 That aside, you do have good taste.{S}
 Thanks for the offer but I do not think my delicate health could take so much excitement.{S}
 He owes you his life.{S}
 That debt alone makes him beholden to you.{S}
 Have you been watching him?{S}
 I am sure he would not be opposed to you joining in the fun.{S}
 Well, I suppose that does sort of make him mine.{S}
 He is not my elven slave or anything, so do not get ideas.{S}
 So, had important things to discuss with Morrigan last night?{S}
 Seems you had important discussions every night of the week.{S}
 I do not care what you did with her; what hurts is that you lied!{S}
 What are you playing at?{S}
 You tell me you like me, that I mean something to you, and you have her on the side?{S}
 Do you say the same things to her, that you say to me?{S}
 Oh, I bet she is!{S}
 Could not be her winning personality you keep coming back to.{S}
 Tell me, does she use dark, forbidden magics to enhance your enjoyment of her?{S}
 Alistair's a Grey Warden too... does she share her knowledge of darkspawn with him as well?{S}
 Get to the point, Leliana.{S}
 She has a lot to say about darkspawn.{S}
 I suppose you need different girls for different days of the week?{S}
 Stop playing with my feelings.{S}
 I care for you... more deeply than I can say, but...{S}
 I am sorry I had to force this on you.{S}
 I have to be alone for a while.{S}
 Wonderful people have their limits too.{S}
 Morrigan when you want some rough tumbling, Leliana when you need a bedtime story and someone to tell you what a nice boy you are?{S}
 I should've ended it with her a long time ago.{S}
 Then we can not be together, because I can not give her up.{S}
 There wasn't too much harm done.{S}
 So do I.{S}
 I would hate to be the cause of anyone's pain.{S}
 I thought you said she did not mean anything to you.{S}
 I am sorry it had to come to this.{S}
 It has been some time since I left Lothering.{S}
 When I stepped out of the cloister I had no idea where my path would lead.{S}
 I walked where the Maker led me and...{S}
 He has rewarded me for my faith.{S}
 I found you.{S}
 I am glad your path led you here too.{S}
 What do you want to do?{S}
 But now it is getting late.{S}
 I did not know you had a journal.{S}
 Well, maybe you could bring it to my tent and I could watch you write.{S}
 I could give suggestions.{S}
 Well, I do.{S}
 I want to make a special entry.{S}
 You do not want to talk to me anymore?{S}
 Well, I shan't keep you.{S}
 Leliana has shown much affection for me.{S}
 Oh, now he gets it.{S}
 Oh, now she gets it. <desc>Giggles</desc> Where is the fun in that?{S}
 You could have just asked me.{S}
 I do not think that would be appropriate, Leliana.{S}
 I understood your suggestion, I just do not think we should.{S}
 I just do not think this is the right time.{S}
 He will not tell anyone an elven woman took him down.{S}
 I should get cleaned up.{S}
 What was that about? <desc>Nervous laughter</desc> Looks like the arl's son started drinking too early.{S}
 Um, well let us not let this ruin the day.{S}
 Hey, I just wanted to give you a sporting chance to run. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I am... sure the two of you have a lot to discuss.{S}
 Pleased to meet you.{S}
 Soris has said much of you--some even positive. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Do not get me in trouble, Nesiara.{S}
 I cannot believe this--<emp>this</emp> is the man I traveled so far to marry?!{S}
 I could barely keep calm during the trip here.{S}
 Do I really make such a poor first impression? <emp>This</emp> is my bride-to-be?{S}
 It is all I can do to keep myself calm.{S}
 I will spend every waking moment learning to make you happy.{S}
 The trade caravan we accompanied had little of value; I think that kept the bandits away.{S}
 Denerim itself seems friendlier than Highever... perhaps because it is so large that humans take less notice of us.{S}
 You have a lot of nerve talking to me like that!{S}
 I see I am going to have my hands full.{S}
 Are you saying you do not want to marry me?{S}
 I imagine I am going to have my hands full. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 We should let them get ready.{S}
 Do not disappear on us.{S}
 Or we will come find you.{S}
 How do you feel about moving to Denerim?{S}
 Well, things can only get better.{S}
 I am just not interested in this whole deal.{S}
 I just do not want to get married at all.{S}
 I do not think I could turn down such a proposition.{S}
 Oh, do not second guess me!{S}
 Oh, of course I do.{S}
 But it is getting a little chilly and I would prefer to be in my bedroll.{S}
 You are welcome to join me, of course.{S}
 I... <emp>do not</emp>.{S}
 Stop pretending you do not know what I want.{S}
 I did not know you collected pressed flowers.{S}
 I have no idea what is going on.{S}
 Oh, the games you play.{S}
 Listen, I want to spend the night with you.{S}
 I would prefer to wait till the darkspawn have been routed.{S}
 Perhaps we should spend more time together first.{S}
 You are putting your life on hold because of... darkspawn?{S}
 I suppose you are a Grey Warden, and that is what is required of you.{S}
 I will not make demands on you.{S}
 But now I have a greater incentive to kill those hideous monsters.{S}
 Did you sleep well?{S}
 Did not you sleep well?{S}
 Start the origin story.{S}
 Knowing you will be the first thing I see when I wake gives me no small amount of comfort.{S}
 I suppose I should get up.{S}
 We have a long day ahead of us.{S}
 Come on, darkspawn await with bated breath for you to put them out of their misery!{S}
 Should not keep the others waiting.{S}
 I do not feel like getting up.{S}
 This does feel right, and natural.{S}
 I see... hmm, I suppose the darkspawn will just have to wait a bit longer...{S}
 Let us go to bed.{S}
 You have no idea how good.{S}
 Do not make me come over and grab you.{S}
 I should have done this long ago.{S}
 Ooh, now you have got me curious...{S}
 Ah, pulling rank... you do know how to woo a lady...{S}
 I do not think this is going to work.{S}
 You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.{S}
 Not going to work?{S}
 Do not give me that!{S}
 Do not you dare!{S}
 Nothing is certain but the love you have for others, and the love they have for you.{S}
 Love is that... that constant star on the horizon that leads you to safe harbor.{S}
 Love, friendship... these are the things you hold on to.{S}
 I do not think I should be where I am not wanted.{S}
 I have grown weary of you.{S}
 I do not have one.{S}
 If you do not know, or do not want to tell me your reasons, then I will not press you.{S}
 Nothing lasts forever... but I did not expect this to be over so soon.{S}
 And so you are abandoning our love?{S}
 But does this mean we should never try to love?{S}
 Every moment I have with you is a gift from the Maker.{S}
 I do not want to lose this.{S}
 Maybe when all this is over we can start over?{S}
 Do not apologize.{S}
 It is something you felt you needed to do.{S}
 I am sorry I had to end it.{S}
 If you were really sorry, you would have thought about what you said before saying it.{S}
 For the sake of our task, I will put my feelings on this matter aside.{S}
 I do not want our messy personal matters affecting our ultimate goal.{S}
 No... no, you never think, do you?{S}
 I do not know why I try to mend bridges with you.{S}
 Those initiates can not have been more lovely than you.{S}
 I, however, did not take vows and so perhaps I am not as enigmatic?{S}
 Well, it is not technically forbidden... b-but it is not freely given either!{S}
 Not everyone gets a bite.{S}
 I can not believe I am having this conversation.{S}
 But no, I did not take vows.{S}
 I did not take those vows that the initiates took.{S}
 You would abandon your Grey Warden duties to seduce an initiate into forgetting Chantry and Maker?{S}
 I have put it behind me.{S}
 So, do I get a kiss?{S}
 There are certainly many to choose from.{S}
 Thank you for picking me last.{S}
 So did you take any vows?{S}
 Ah, I see what you are getting at.{S}
 They never complained... well, they did, but usually after they found out what I had done.{S}
 That the female ones use skills of seduction?{S}
 I am sure they did not mind being exploited by you.{S}
 It is kind of you to say so, even wearing these mud-covered horrors.{S}
 You do not need fancy shoes to make you beautiful.{S}
 You even have a... glow about you.{S}
 She is... interesting, once you get to know her.{S}
 There has been sadness in her life.{S}
 For having me?{S}
 Most men do, actually.{S}
 I was just making conversation.{S}
 The Join--oh, that Grey Warden ritual that involves the darkspawn blood.{S}
 You definitely have the glow of someone in love.{S}
 Sometimes he gets too excited to listen.{S}
 I do not have to discuss this with you!{S}
 I think that is a side effect of the Joining.{S}
 He does make me very happy.{S}
 Men, like puppies, can be trained, especially when it comes to... dealing with their women.{S}
 The little templar is all grown up and apparently he... ahem... plays well with others.{S}
 You must keep me updated on any new developments.{S}
 Sometimes he has brilliant ideas of his own too.{S}
 I do not really believe you but I do not want to find out either.{S}
 What performance... and why does it warrant giggling?{S}
 We are just talking about how you treat her in bed.{S}
 Jump directly to the Prelude (Ostagar - plot start){S}
 So will you let me help you?{S}
 Will you let me come?{S}
 I told you: I do not need you.{S}
 When I heard about the darkspawn, I felt something urging me to leave my sheltered life in the cloister and do something.{S}
 It cannot be coincidence, that you are brought here so soon after I was called by the Maker.{S}
 How do you think you can help me?{S}
 I suppose you did at that.{S}
 I would have been fine without you.{S}
 You almost got into trouble yourself.{S}
 Her plea seems wholehearted and even though she seems a little... strange, she does have skill.{S}
 I vote to let her come along.{S}
 We do not need her.{S}
 The Maker does not talk to people, and certainly not <emp>you</emp>.{S}
 I will not let you down, I promise!{S}
 I do not need your opinion.{S}
 You do not know how it makes me feel to hear you say that.{S}
 I should have done it in Denerim.{S}
 I do not know what I was thinking.{S}
 I do not believe she will leave me alone.{S}
 Where'd you get injured, soldier? <act>Give 1 sovereign</act> Hope this will get you off the street. <act>Give 1 silver</act> This can get you a hot meal.{S}
 You made yourself clear, ser.{S}
 No need to bother with us folk at all.{S}
 Darkspawn took off half my foot.{S}
 No need to mention that, Ollie.{S}
 Well, let us go Ollie.{S}
 Are you really a veteran? <act>Give 3 sovereigns</act> Here is your chance at a better life. <act>Give 30 silver</act> Here are a few silvers for each of you.{S}
 I do not seem to have any coins on me.{S}
 Now, no crowding--let the good ser breathe.{S}
 I still do not have my parents.{S}
 Yes, ser, and poor Ollie still does not have his parents.{S}
 Do not have a copper between us.{S}
 Ollie and I hadn't eaten for a week before you showed up.{S}
 I... uhh... found it?{S}
 All I heard was there was free coin over here.{S}
 Even that fellow with the fine outfit? <act>Give 50 silver</act> Someone has to help you.{S}
 Thank you for what you have done.{S}
 I am not giving you anything more.{S}
 Do you think I am a fool?{S}
 Honestly, most every one here has a sad tale.{S}
 You have been good to me and Ollie.{S}
 I have never met no one like you.{S}
 All of us are eating tonight!{S}
 We will meet on the field of honor, and my blade shall see justice done.{S}
 Meet me in the back alley behind the Gnawed Noble Tavern.{S}
 You really do look like... too much ale.{S}
 You... you almost had me there, but I recognize you too clearly.{S}
 I will not be played the fool.{S}
 I do not like your tone, ser.{S}
 I cannot take that chance.{S}
 If I find proof, we will meet again.{S}
 I have... heard of the Grey Wardens' prowess.{S}
 And you seem... more capable than you did at Ostagar.{S}
 Your threats do not deter me, ser.{S}
 Use your wits.{S}
 What did you mean by satisfaction?{S}
 I have to go.{S}
 Do not try to worm your way out of it, traitor.{S}
 If you insist on dying, you will get your duel.{S}
 Make peace with the Maker, ser.{S}
 I would not take advantage of you.{S}
 Let us fight one on one.{S}
 Everyone get him! <act>Attack</act>{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 You have held yourself with honor.{S}
 Begin!{S}
 I would prefer to fight with honor, but over scum like you, I will take any victory I can.{S}
 You have got one chance to surrender.{S}
 The arl has been very... generous to his servants.{S}
 Especially those who get bloody jobs done.{S}
 That our work is legal makes it ever so <emp>delicious</emp>.{S}
 The arl offers much more than coin, Warden.{S}
 Not that I particularly care.{S}
 I think you need more practice to sound believable.{S}
 Shaevra, Tennant, and Jarvy--let us kill ourselves a Warden.{S}
 Why are you doing this?{S}
 Whatever the arl is paying you, I will pay more.{S}
 You work for that bastard?{S}
 I do not see the rug... we did not leave it, did we?{S}
 I just do not want to leave.{S}
 If these axles hold, we can make it in a few days.{S}
 Nessa does not want to leave for Ostagar.{S}
 Perhaps you can find some way to help her and her family. <emp>Help Nessa</emp>{S}
 You offered to talk to Nessa's father.{S}
 Perhaps you can persuade him to let her stay in the alienage.{S}
 You have given Nessa's family enough money to allow them to remain in the alienage.{S}
 They will not have to work as laborers in Ostagar.{S}
 You have given Nessa's family enough money to allow them to travel safely to Highever, where they can make a new life. <emp>Help Nessa</emp>{S}
 You offered to find some way to help Nessa's family.{S}
 I still do not see it.{S}
 Well, you have got the freedom to think so.{S}
 I did not love her, but I think she loved me,{S}
 I brought her diamonds, rubies, silver, and gold,{S}
 We made love in the sea, we made love on the shore,{S}
 I was just there for playing, but she wanted more,{S}
 My wife gets suspicious when I come home smelling like fish!{S}
 Let me tell you something... about something.{S}
 What will I do if I never find a wife?{S}
 I would not mind taking one of those bridesmaids home.{S}
 Yes, I could use help.{S}
 I got a pretty popular... establishment... that is crawling with mercenaries.{S}
 If I send my boys in, someone might get--Maker forbid--hurt.{S}
 And I will have to explain to their noble fathers that being a guard is actually dangerous.{S}
 Actually, do you need any help?{S}
 What is the pay?{S}
 The name of the whorehouse is the Pearl.{S}
 Let me make that really clear.{S}
 Sorry... used to giving orders to my boys.{S}
 Do a good job, and I will see you get some silver in your pockets... maybe even some gold.{S}
 I do not blame you.{S}
 Remember--do not kill the troublemakers, just knock them unconscious.{S}
 Do not bother sparing these louts.{S}
 Things are about to get messy.{S}
 I was hoping I would find you.{S}
 Just go before you make matters worse.{S}
 But they were trying to kill me.{S}
 Do not take that tone with me.{S}
 I rule over all the good elves!{S}
 I am a giant dragon and I ate my gold!{S}
 I am going to kill you and take your castle!{S}
 I have got the barbarian army with me!{S}
 The Maker brought me back and made me into a giant to stomp you!{S}
 I have a million, million knights!{S}
 That is why I was paying you.{S}
 To put yourself in harm's way.{S}
 But I know how the heat of battle can get.{S}
 Thanks for trying to help.{S}
 Let us get to the Pearl and clean up, men.{S}
 Your offer to help has resulted in lives lost--the teyrn's own "soldiers."{S}
 And <emp>I</emp> did not want to answer to the bloody captain of the guard.{S}
 Looks like we both wanted something different. <emp>Nobody</emp> gives orders to my men but me.{S}
 We are the toughest, meanest, and <emp>loudest</emp> mercenary band from the Free Marches.{S}
 Now get out.{S}
 Get a load of this guard.{S}
 You are telling <emp>us</emp> what to do?{S}
 Ehh... you have a point there.{S}
 Men, let us clear out.{S}
 Do not... do not want to get on Loghain's bad side, do we?{S}
 That is <emp>exactly</emp> what I am telling you to do.{S}
 Men, let us clear out.{S}
 The Falcons get to hunt.{S}
 Here they live in a walled-off community known as the Alienage, working as servants and laborers when they can.{S}
 I do not want any more of your "help."{S}
 I have got complaints in the Gnawed Noble Tavern that some mercenaries have "invaded."{S}
 Nothing violent has happened; the sellswords are probably just disturbing the nobles' rarified conversation.{S}
 Need any more help?{S}
 I still have some sight to see you by.{S}
 The scars have healed, but my sight will never recover.{S}
 Do not be.{S}
 They are mages who have forsaken the tower.{S}
 But I have years of hard-won experience.{S}
 It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.{S}
 So I do the Maker's work in whatever way I can.{S}
 I have found no evidence of maleficarum in the Alienage.{S}
 But over time, I have felt the wrongness runs far deeper than that.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I do not suppose I could impose upon you?{S}
 I have other matters to attend to.{S}
 Have you found anything?{S}
 I did not mean to cause any discomfort.{S}
 People are usually curious, even if they do not voice it.{S}
 What is a templar doing here?{S}
 You do not sound very certain.{S}
 When you have more time, that is.{S}
 Do you have time to help me now?{S}
 It took patience, but some elves opened up to me and I have heard their sad tales.{S}
 But I have found no real evidence to support my fears.{S}
 Ears alone have done all they can.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I have a feeling that there is something to be found, though.{S}
 Sometimes the doing is its own reward.{S}
 I am a poor templar with little to offer.{S}
 I have hope that you will find what I seek.{S}
 Any idea where I should start my search?{S}
 What have you found?{S}
 We have talked before.{S}
 I hope your matters were resolved satisfactorily.{S}
 What are you doing here in the Alienage?{S}
 If you do not, I understand, of course.{S}
 Besides the coppery smell of blood, you also pick up the faint scent of bad eggs.</desc> <desc>This is the corpse of a rabid dog.{S}
 It looks like he was skewered with a spear.</desc> <desc>Nobody has cleaned up the body, and it appears to have been dead for some time.</desc>{S}
 The house has eyes... but grandma calls...{S}
 What is a girl to do.{S}
 Have to be a good girl, but <emp>have</emp> to avoid the bad men.{S}
 I just want to make grandma happy. <desc>Mumbles</desc>{S}
 Never met her, but she protected me.{S}
 Grandma, make the voices go away!{S}
 You do not seem quite right in the head, lady.{S}
 They make the dogs so confused, so angry.{S}
 Make them stop!{S}
 What do the voices say?{S}
 Do not go into the orphanage; the bad men will take you, too!{S}
 I will keep looking.{S}
 I have heard such afflictions can spread--even from a corpse.{S}
 I suppose someone may not have known that...{S}
 The riot took its toll not only on the body, but on the mind, as well.{S}
 I know of whom you speak, although she opened up more to you than me.{S}
 I have heard of similar problems throughout Denerim.{S}
 Let us head to the orphanage.{S}
 Did you find anything else?{S}
 I am sure your friends can keep me safe.{S}
 I have faith in you.{S}
 I am sure you can keep me safe.{S}
 I have faith in you.{S}
 Oh, undoubtedly, but the Maker has blessed me with more than my share of stubbornness.{S}
 Let us proceed.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 You found it, ser.{S}
 May I have it?{S}
 I have to... to live my life.{S}
 I found it in the orphanage. <act>Give amulet</act> Here you go.{S}
 I think I will hold onto it.{S}
 I know not if it is the work of the maleficarum--but there is definitely <emp>evil</emp> here.{S}
 Leave, mortal, you do not belong <emp>here</emp>!{S}
 Let us see if your precious Maker can protect you now, worm!{S}
 We make our own path in life...{S}
 Make yours matter, my ch...{S}
 The building next to us.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Though the Golden City has fallen, I have seen your face and your light, I am your--{S}
 Save your pedantic Chant for your sermons, templar. <emp>You</emp> have killed my brood.{S}
 We have done it again.{S}
 I have seen the work of demon before.{S}
 But the Maker must have guided--{S}
 My name is Weylon.{S}
 All actions have consequences.{S}
 Perhaps Genitivi brought this on himself.{S}
 If I have time I shall search for Brother Genitivi.{S}
 May you find the answers you seek.{S}
 A callous attitude to have, for a devoted assistant.{S}
 I refuse to abandon him, or the knights.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 All I discovered from going through his research was that he was staying at the inn.{S}
 Y-yes, of course he told me, but I also went though his things to see if I could find other clues to his whereabouts.{S}
 And I suppose you found no other clues?{S}
 Genitivi could not see how the search had consumed him.{S}
 I will find Brother Genitivi.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I may find the time to look into this.{S}
 What do I know of daring rescues?{S}
 N-no, I did not.{S}
 If anyone is to find him, they should do it sooner rather than later.{S}
 Or do you just not like me asking all these questions?{S}
 You do not like me asking these questions, do you?{S}
 W-what are you doing?{S}
 Do not touch that door!{S}
 I am afraid I have to insist.{S}
 I could find more clues to Genitivi's disappearance.{S}
 You tried to kill me.{S}
 It does seem that way, does not it?{S}
 If you live, then my fellows have failed.{S}
 I have been chosen to serve Andraste Herself!{S}
 I have never seen such squalor in my life!{S}
 As filthy and rotten as one of those knife-eared ne'er-do-wells... <desc>pfaugh</desc>!{S}
 Is there something I can get for you?{S}
 We have quite a fine selection at the Spoiled Princess.{S}
 Please, take a look.{S}
 Have you seen any suspicious activity around your inn?{S}
 He ran the inn before me, and he named it for my sister.{S}
 Well, she was found murdered, robbed of all the trinkets my father bought her with his hard-earned money.{S}
 My father died of shock and heartbreak, Mother stopped eating, and I got the struggling inn.{S}
 The name stuck.{S}
 If there is anything I can get you, just let me know.{S}
 We have our girl clean the rooms every day!{S}
 And we offer the best service this side of Denerim!{S}
 I have never heard of him.{S}
 Have you seen any?{S}
 I know everyone staying at my inn and I have not heard of this person.{S}
 I do not care what he is.{S}
 His name is Genitivi.{S}
 I can not speak openly... do not!{S}
 Do not look around, and keep your voice down.{S}
 They told me to act like nothing's wrong, and just deny ever having seen the brother, or the knights.{S}
 I do not know what happened to the knights, but I doubt it was anything good.{S}
 He has never passed this way, but the knights were here asking about him, just as you are.{S}
 What can you do?{S}
 I-I do what they want because they will hurt my family.{S}
 I have no choice.{S}
 So you have seen them, then.{S}
 Is there anything I can do to help you?{S}
 If not, I have nothing else to offer.{S}
 I do not care for your tone.{S}
 Keep your voice down!{S}
 I have a wife, a three year-old son.{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 Have you seen a Brother Genitivi here?{S}
 Have you seen any knights from Redcliffe?{S}
 You are trying to kill me.{S}
 I have nothing to do with any of this, I swear!{S}
 I-I do not know who this person is, I swear!{S}
 How may I serve you today?{S}
 Please stop bringing it up.{S}
 I do not want them to know I said anything.{S}
 Do you know anything more about the men threatening you?{S}
 You... you dealt with them!{S}
 Oh Maker, I thought this nightmare would never end!{S}
 Do you know who they were?{S}
 I am just an innkeeper, trying to make his way through life.{S}
 There are some things I do not need to know.{S}
 I have been the innkeeper here for years, just ask anyone.{S}
 They came in here several weeks ago... just about took over the place.{S}
 No, but I am going to find out.{S}
 Are you sure you had nothing to do with this?{S}
 They are trying to stop me from finding Andraste's ashes.{S}
 We have nothing you would want.{S}
 Come, come, bonny Lynne; tell us, tell us where you have been.{S}
 Come, come, bonny Lynne; we have a bed to put you in.{S}
 I have heard you are putting up the good fight against Loghain and Howe, right?{S}
 The name is <emp>Slim</emp> Couldry, and if you have heard of me, I have been doing a sad job of it, haven't I?{S}
 How did you know I am a Warden?{S}
 What did nobles do to you?{S}
 I--uh--did not know that.{S}
 Besides feasting and holding revels while my family starves, why not much.{S}
 They just need taking down a rung or two.{S}
 Your likeness has been shown to some of the guards.{S}
 Managed to get a peek at it myself.{S}
 My share goes to a good cause.{S}
 I have got fifteen cousins.{S}
 But unless you plan on personally robbing every rat-bastard out there--and bully to you if you do--you will not know which fruit is the most ripe and delicious, eh?{S}
 And what will you do with your cut?{S}
 Well, it was a pleasure meeting you.{S}
 Keep sticking it to those pea-brained louses, eh?{S}
 Well, one of my mates noticed your skills--nice piece of work that, uncommon caliber if you do not mind me saying--but I need to know what else you can do.{S}
 Ever done bump-and-grabs?{S}
 Do much blending in shadows?{S}
 Stealth I have covered, but I do not pick pockets.{S}
 Do not get much of that in these parts.{S}
 Since the guard'll hang or skewer you if you get caught, it makes advancement dicey.{S}
 Now that we have that settled.{S}
 One point--I do not like blood much.{S}
 Oh, if you ever need to fence something I can help with that.{S}
 I sell trinkets, as well.{S}
 Call me old fashioned, but the Maker says thou shalt not strangle, decapitate, or what not unless the other fella really had it coming, eh?{S}
 I realize sometimes you do what you have to.{S}
 What do you have for sale?{S}
 You have a mark for me?{S}
 You do not want to know anything about me, and I already know all I need to about you.{S}
 Makes for a healthy partnership, eh?{S}
 Can you help me get into the Palace District?{S}
 I have got one.{S}
 She is wearing bright green--should be easy to spot.{S}
 She is got a purse with some of her mistress' ill-gotten gems.{S}
 Just relieve her of her purse and then we both come out ahead. <act>Pay 50 silver</act> Tell me about it.{S}
 You already got one.{S}
 Let us not get greedy now.{S}
 Keep trying.{S}
 I got one.{S}
 One sovereign. <act>Pay 1 sovereign</act> Who is the mark?{S}
 I will be here when you need me.{S}
 Ser Nancine has a fancy and <emp>expensive</emp> sword.{S}
 I have a large family and all.{S}
 Just come back when you have enough.{S}
 Just come back later when you have the funds.{S}
 Paid for courtesy of her oppressive taxes on her lands.{S}
 This swipe will be tougher--she is got good eyes and stealing a sword from a scabbard is not easy.{S}
 Once Ser Nancine realizes she is robbed I bet she will be <emp>furious</emp>.{S}
 Truly well done.{S}
 You have time for another?{S}
 Maybe do something else in the city?{S}
 Get a drink, visit a brothel, err--whatever Grey Wardens do to pass time.{S}
 Master Tilver, the bann's silversmith, has been on holiday for the past couple weeks.{S}
 All of his valuable, expensive goods are locked up tight--but he has the key.{S}
 He is got two guards with him.{S}
 If you can get by them, you should be good.{S}
 Luck to you, Warden! <act>Pay 3 sovereigns</act> Tell me about it.{S}
 So you have struck again, eh?{S}
 I bet all of those rich louts will be afraid to go out, ha!{S}
 I am not sure if I have anything else handy.{S}
 If I find a way, I will let you know.{S}
 I figure you would like to get back at him, right? <act>Pay 6 sovereigns</act> This better be worth it.{S}
 Word is that his seneschal has been getting the teyrn's crown all nice and sparkly for the Landsmeet.{S}
 The seneschal is taking a bit of a rest at the Gnawed Noble Tavern.{S}
 He has a heavy guard, but if you can make off with the tyrant's own crown--think of the embarrassment!{S}
 You have to admit that was worth every copper you paid me, eh?{S}
 What do you think of that?{S}
 Too bad no one can know; you could get a lot of <emp>action</emp>.{S}
 There is nothing more I can offer you like that.{S}
 Do not want you to get ahead of yourself.{S}
 You need anything else? <desc>This altar appears to have been used recently.{S}
 I have got a place for you.{S}
 I have a big opportunity for you.{S}
 It is a lot to ask, but the pay off is more than worth it.{S}
 Arl Howe uses a warehouse in the Market District from time to time.{S}
 I have one last job.{S}
 A paltry 10 sovereigns is my take.{S}
 Bann Franderel is one of the richest men in the entire kingdom. <act>Pay 1 sovereign</act> Tell me the details. <act>Pay 4 sovereigns</act> This better be worth it. <act>Pay 10 sovereigns</act> So I am going to be a legend?{S}
 I am following up a lead in the Palace District.{S}
 I know you can not get in now... but you never know.{S}
 They are turning the market upside-down to find the burglar who bested Arl Howe.{S}
 Used for food preparation, perhaps?{S}
 I am just trying to be optimistic.{S}
 I was not expecting to find something so unsettling.{S}
 Does meat bleed that much?{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 And if you succeed here, Arl Howe gets a big black eye.{S}
 I am going to work hard to find something worthy of your talent!{S}
 I wonder... the Crows often made sacrifices of blood, and it gave them uncanny abilities. <desc>Licks the altar</desc>{S}
 She is visiting the country--because that is what rich folk do when the whole bloody kingdom's in danger.{S}
 Sorry, they just get me so <emp>angry</emp>.{S}
 That means her valuables are just there for the taking.{S}
 You got the tavern staff to worry about, plus she has hired a guard.{S}
 A very over-worked, tired, and bored guard, though.{S}
 I feel like a bloody fool, I do.{S}
 Listen, I have to go.{S}
 Here is your coin back--I will not take a silver because of the way that went down.{S}
 Give me some time and come back.{S}
 We will get our revenge, we will!{S}
 If it all works out, it will make you a <emp>legend</emp>!{S}
 I do not have much, but I suppose you can take a look.{S}
 Have you seen a man called Brother Genitivi?{S}
 Mages have put up magical wards, but I have got a route that will bypass that.{S}
 Once inside, I have no idea how you will deal with the guards--but if you do, you will be rich and infamous.{S}
 I have never heard that name.{S}
 I did you bad with that last tip.{S}
 It can not end like that!{S}
 Those noble ponces will not have the last laugh, eh?{S}
 Well, we had a good run, then.{S}
 You take care.{S}
 Give those darkspawn what they deserve.{S}
 I have got more important things to do.{S}
 You may not make much either.{S}
 You care about the history?{S}
 Do not know how much of a Chantry-going folk you are.{S}
 Legend has it before the Maker spoke to Andraste She despaired at the fate of Her fellows.{S}
 We... we do not get very many visitors.{S}
 Why does everyone tell me that like I do not already know it?{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 They... they have sent you to finish it?{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 Weeks of scant food and water, the torture... oh, I have never felt better!{S}
 My name is Genitivi.{S}
 I would not be this sarcastic if I needed help.{S}
 I read your notes, back in Denerim.{S}
 I thought I would never find you.{S}
 If you have that view--<emp>trust me</emp>--you will want to do this job.{S}
 On second thought, I do not need a history lesson.{S}
 You said I would want to do this job.{S}
 So who has it now?{S}
 Because the Tears of Andraste <emp>do</emp> belong with the Divine and the Chantry.{S}
 But they are not the ones who have it.{S}
 I have faith, not everyone does.{S}
 You really believe that story, do not you?{S}
 Do the Tears do anything?{S}
 And his son still has them locked up tight.{S}
 Afterwards, I will see that the Tears of Andraste are given to the Chantry.{S}
 But Franderel's secret vault has other treasures--things a Warden may find useful.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 Well, that rich bastard has things in his vault that you could use.{S}
 We have tried under, now we can give over a go.{S}
 Right before it, there is a wine cellar that is got a secret door.{S}
 Go through it and find the <emp>real</emp> vault.{S}
 How do I get in?{S}
 I can not spare the time to do this.{S}
 You did it!{S}
 You really did it!{S}
 Can I have the Tears?{S}
 I have arranged an anonymous delivery to the Chantry.{S}
 How do I know I can trust you with them?{S}
 It better make it there safely.{S}
 After everything we have been through?{S}
 I know I am a criminal--but I fight the bastards that oppress my people with the skills the Maker gave me.{S}
 Trust me, the Chantry will get it.{S}
 I considered that, but I did not want <emp>anything</emp> to trace the crime back to us.{S}
 But you have a more legitimate reason to be there than I.{S}
 I wonder if history will ever know the full story of what we have done.{S}
 So the matter is closed!{S}
 I have nothing to do with these villagers.{S}
 I should not be taking it out on you.{S}
 Well, do you need my help or not?{S}
 Give me the medallion, and let us see if I remember.{S}
 "The Maker's gaze has fallen on Andraste's final resting place.{S}
 I should never have dragged you into this...{S}
 Maker take you into His hands, my boy.{S}
 I thought I would stay calm, but finally seeing you has made me...{S}
 Well, let us just say I am not calm.{S}
 I thought I would stay calm, but now we have met...{S}
 Let us just say I am not calm.{S}
 This sacred duty is given to us alone; rejoice, my brethren, and prepare your hearts to receive Her.{S}
 Blessed fire cleanse and consecrate our souls: Make us worthy.{S}
 Lift up your voices, and despair not, for She will raise Her faithful servants to glory when Her--{S}
 If you find the Urn, you will return to Denerim to tell me about it, will not you?{S}
 It was designed to protect the Urn from those who would steal it, or do harm to it--namely, the Tevinter Imperium.{S}
 Over time the temple has grown, halls winding through the very rock from foot to summit, till the mountain itself became a celebration of Andraste and Her life.{S}
 And if the legends speak truly, you will never reach the Urn with malice in your heart.{S}
 I do not intend to harm the Urn.{S}
 I have no choice.{S}
 The arl needs the Ashes.{S}
 Did I fall to my knees in front of it and weep?{S}
 Did I discover its location?{S}
 Did you find the Urn?{S}
 Alms for a man who can no longer work?{S}
 Anyway, that can be discussed once we actually have the Ashes and the arl is better.{S}
 If it does not work, we will find another way.{S}
 Read between the lines, however, and you will understand that it is merely a simple truth draped in hyperbole and metaphor.{S}
 What I would give to have seen this hall in all its splendor, as it was meant to be...{S}
 You need to stay alert now, Brother.{S}
 Yes, yes... get moving, you old geezer.{S}
 These carvings were created just after Andraste's death, and they may reveal things about Her life that we do not yet know&{S}
 I think I need more time to study these statues and carvings.{S}
 I could not keep up with you with my injuries.{S}
 I should be safe; I do not think there are any villagers here.{S}
 That might keep you out of trouble for a bit.{S}
 Have you reached the Urn?{S}
 They... they believe Andraste has been reborn as a dragon?{S}
 I do not know if I should laugh or cry.{S}
 The villagers are trying to protect her and her children.{S}
 Do you know anything about wraiths protecting the Ashes?{S}
 Have you heard anything about a Guardian of the Ashes?{S}
 Mm... now, I need something to write on....{S}
 There was a passage in one of the books I read... how some of Andraste's followers gave their lives to the fire, to become Her eternal guardians.{S}
 No... nothing I have read has mentioned this.{S}
 What do you know about this Guardian?{S}
 You have disturbed the slumber of the children!{S}
 You have defiled our temple.{S}
 You have spilled the blood of the faithful, and slaughtered our young.{S}
 The Ashes you seek reside atop this mountain, watched by an immortal guardian who refuses to accept the truth of the risen Lady.{S}
 Blood carries power, strength, knowledge.{S}
 Through it, all the power that is held in the Ashes will be returned to our Lady.{S}
 Just get to the part about me helping you.{S}
 The Beloved needs to reclaim the Ashes, to make them Her own again.{S}
 All it would take is a drop of Her blood.{S}
 The Guardian has foiled all our attempts to reach the Urn.{S}
 He keeps what power remains from the true Andraste.{S}
 He knows the Disciples, and we cannot touch him, for he draws his strength from the Ashes themselves.{S}
 Why have you not done this then?{S}
 What makes you think I can do this?{S}
 What exactly will I have to do?{S}
 Many have been led here, but only you had the fortitude and skill to survive the temple.{S}
 You were led here by Andraste's hand to do Her work.{S}
 The task is simple: I give you a vial of the holy Andraste's blood, and you empty the vial into the Ashes.{S}
 Whatever magic was held in the Ashes will be undone... and our great Lady will be freed from the shackles of Her past life.{S}
 Once that is done, you will have earned your place as our honored sister.{S}
 Once that is done, you will have earned your place as our honored brother.{S}
 I will do as you ask.{S}
 Putting blood in the Ashes sounds like a bad idea.{S}
 Through Andraste's guidance, we have learned to harness it.{S}
 I believe we can work together, Kolgrim.{S}
 I shall do as you ask.{S}
 Take this--the blood of the dragon.{S}
 You know what you must do.{S}
 Now, I shall beseech the holy Andraste to let you pass safely into the Inner Sanctum.{S}
 I will not make this offer again.{S}
 What exactly must I do?{S}
 "Andraste" the dragon has children?{S}
 This does not strike them as strange?{S}
 They say she has become like the Old Gods.{S}
 We have to consider the possibility that whoever started this was simply delusional.{S}
 I suppose you shall have to.{S}
 Being eaten is generally not a goal one should aspire to.{S}
 Do not think too much on it.{S}
 I shall have to look further into this.{S}
 What should I do?{S}
 But how are we to deal with this?{S}
 Whatever you do, I hope you can live with it.{S}
 I do not know yet.{S}
 They have to die for their heresy.{S}
 What would happen if blood were put in the Ashes?{S}
 But if they are just Ashes, what harm could be done?{S}
 For generations, your family, the Couslands, has stewarded the lands of Highever, earning the loyalty of your people with justice and temperance.{S}
 When your country was occupied by the Orlesian Empire, your father and grandfather served the embattled kings of your land.{S}
 Today, your elder brother takes up House Cousland's banner in service to the Crown--not against the men of Orlais, but against the bestial darkspawn rising in the south.{S}
 I found these... <emp>humans</emp> lurking in the bushes.{S}
 Please do not hurt us!{S}
 W-we have never done nothing to you Dalish!{S}
 We did not even know this forest was yours!{S}
 You have stumbled too close to our camp.{S}
 You shems are like vermin--we can not trust you not to make mischief.{S}
 What do you say, lethallan?{S}
 What should we do with them?{S}
 What do you say, lethallin?{S}
 What should we do with them?{S}
 L-look... we did not come here to be trouble.{S}
 We just found a cave...{S}
 With ruins like I have never seen!{S}
 I have proof!{S}
 Here... we found this just inside the entrance.{S}
 This stone has carvings...{S}
 We did not get very far in, though...{S}
 We did not even know you elves were here!{S}
 We-we were just trying to find the treasure!{S}
 And this is all you found?{S}
 Why did not you look for more?{S}
 I have seen something similar on the keeper's scrolls...{S}
 This will not take long...{S}
 You... you can not do this!!{S}
 Run along then, shems... and do not come back until we Dalish have moved on.{S}
 Do you trust them?{S}
 Shall we let them go?{S}
 I have never heard of ruins in these parts.{S}
 Letting them go might bring more of them.{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 Hunting or banditry, we will need to move camp if we let them live. <desc>Scoffs</desc> You are too soft.{S}
 These carvings make me curious.{S}
 Let us see if these ruins actually exist.{S}
 Then we will worry about what to do.{S}
 She might be interested in these carvings, but let us see if there is anything more before we get excited.{S}
 And if we find anything, the keeper will want to know.{S}
 Let us look for this cave.{S}
 I do not recall seeing this before, do you?{S}
 Fine, but I am not running back until I know there is something worth making a fuss over.{S}
 And I am not running back for help unless there is something worth making a fuss over.{S}
 Come on, let us at least see what is there.{S}
 With luck, we will find something that will make us clan heroes!{S}
 This place makes me nervous.{S}
 Lead on, lethallin.{S}
 Lead on, lethallan.{S}
 He said that spirits are jealous of us, and always try to steal our souls.{S}
 More likely, we would get possessed too.{S}
 Neither do I.{S}
 This place must have been important for so many to have died here.{S}
 Let us press on...{S}
 I saw a picture of it in one of those old books the keeper never lets anyone touch.{S}
 It does not seem right that a place so... wrong... would be his.{S}
 Maybe if you would paid more attention when we were fledglings, you would know yourself.{S}
 He was some sort of guide who took people to their final rest in the Beyond.{S}
 He did not bring them back.{S}
 He was a guide who took people across the spirit land to their final rest in the Beyond.{S}
 How did you end up coming with me?{S}
 What did you do?{S}
 Let us just find whatever's here and get out.{S}
 I have never known anyone so eager to wander.{S}
 I bet you will end up a flat-ear someday, living in the cities like a shem.{S}
 We could be discovering our history.{S}
 If I were to bring some valuable ancestral artifact back to the keeper, she might forgive me for... well, you know.{S}
 And you get into far too little... which is probably why the keeper sent you with me.{S}
 Because I was caught and would not give up any names. <emp>Of course</emp> she was angry with me.{S}
 You know I would do anything for you.{S}
 Why did the they build this?{S}
 She takes any opportunity to gather elven lore.{S}
 When the clans come together, they exchange whatever they have found.{S}
 The keeper said it took a long time for slavery to erase our ancestors' history.{S}
 It does feel... sinister here, does not it?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I have this odd sensation that we have... disturbed something.{S}
 You are not going to leave without taking a closer look at the mirror, are you?{S}
 This is the only thing we have seen here that is not broken.{S}
 Maybe this is not--hey, did you see that?{S}
 I just need to take a closer look...{S}
 Hold on, I just want to know what it is.{S}
 Do not you see it?{S}
 Do not you see it?{S}
 Do not worry; I will not break it.{S}
 It is the only thing we have seen in here that is not broken.{S}
 Kill them--what do I care?{S}
 Do not believe it.{S}
 How do you know that is elvish, Tamlen?{S}
 So they can bring a mob to drive us out?{S}
 The others will make sure no one else comes.{S}
 You have frightened them enough.{S}
 If you have been there, you should have treasure to prove it.{S}
 Give them a warning.{S}
 Killing them will only bring trouble.{S}
 Let us find out what they are doing here.{S}
 Let them go.{S}
 I have a bad feeling about this "demon."{S}
 No, and I do not think we should go in alone.{S}
 No, I do not.{S}
 Let us check it out.{S}
 I do not like that idea.{S}
 Do you want to turn around?{S}
 How did you know all that about the statue?{S}
 What does that mean?{S}
 I wanted to keep you out of trouble.{S}
 I get away from camp whenever I can.{S}
 I got out of it.{S}
 Why did you want to come down here so badly?{S}
 You get into far too much trouble, Tamlen.{S}
 I do not see why you got punished.{S}
 What do you think all this is?{S}
 Do you think the keeper will want to come here?{S}
 This does not feel like anyone's home.{S}
 "Do not touch the glass?"{S}
 Get away from it, Tamlen...{S}
 Let me see.{S}
 I do not trust it, and neither should you.{S}
 I have raised you since your poor mother died and that is how you speak to me?{S}
 I have been outside the keeper's tent the whole time.{S}
 I have never been so relieved as when I heard you would pull through!{S}
 Your mother and father, may they rest in peace, would be horrified to see you take such risks.{S}
 Try to make the evening meal, will you?{S}
 Your mother was... well, let us not talk about that.{S}
 I am sure you have plenty on your mind.{S}
 You have much to do tonight with Tamlen still missing.{S}
 If I do not tell you now, you will only wonder.{S}
 Your mother was from another clan, and her elders did not approve of the match.{S}
 She and your father had to meet in secret.{S}
 Those of our kind living with humans do not hold to the old ways.{S}
 Your mother held to life long enough to give birth to you, but grief wracked her heart.{S}
 Our people have learned to live with much sorrow; it seemed only right that we not dwell on it.{S}
 Your mother did leave you a gift, something of your father's for you to have once you were older.{S}
 Perhaps the time has come...{S}
 Take this key.{S}
 Do not say that.{S}
 Perhaps you will feel differently once <emp>you have</emp> been in love.{S}
 She just... could not carry on without your father.{S}
 I know how much you and the lad care for each other.{S}
 It was always my hope that you two... well, let us not dwell on it.{S}
 I have raised you since your poor mother died.{S}
 All that time you were ill, the keeper did not know if you were going to live or die!{S}
 I do hope you find Tamlen soon.{S}
 Do not get into too much trouble. <desc>Sigh</desc> Thank the Creators you are safe!{S}
 I have been so worried since that shemlen brought you back.{S}
 Please, take care of yourself and get better.{S}
 You make me very proud.{S}
 I do not need to be mothered by you anymore.{S}
 You have never spoken of my parents much, Ashalle.{S}
 Do not we Dalish strive to learn of our past?{S}
 You should have told me!{S}
 I can not believe I have never heard this tale.{S}
 That was a foolish and weak thing to do.{S}
 My mother abandoned me?{S}
 I do not want to talk about it.{S}
 Why have you never spoken of my parents much?{S}
 I think I need to go.{S}
 We never found his body.{S}
 Why do we have to leave again?{S}
 This accursed place has brought us no good.{S}
 You have the gods' own luck, lethallin.{S}
 You have the gods' own luck, lethallan.{S}
 How do you feel?{S}
 We do not know.{S}
 The shem who brought you here saw no sign of him.{S}
 A shem brought you back two days ago.{S}
 You do not remember him?{S}
 He said that he found you outside a cave in the forest, unconscious and alone.{S}
 The keeper's been using the old magic to heal you.{S}
 I will get her.{S}
 Stay here--I will get her.{S}
 Stay here--I will get her.{S}
 But I doubt those shems have anything to do with the one who found you.{S}
 I doubt you could have driven this one off.{S}
 The shem who brought you here said there wasn't much hope.{S}
 The clan's been talking about it since that Grey Warden brought you back.{S}
 Keeper Marethari probably will not approve, but I can help find Tamlen.{S}
 I will follow you, just to make sure Merrill does not go running to the keeper when you tell her I am coming.{S}
 I want to help find him!{S}
 Let us go talk to the keeper.{S}
 I suppose I would just get you into trouble.{S}
 Good luck finding Tamlen.{S}
 You have my prayers.{S}
 You do not think you will find him?{S}
 Have you spoken to Merrill, yet?{S}
 Then let us find Merrill.{S}
 Let us not waste any time.{S}
 If Tamlen's alive, he needs us.{S}
 I am so glad everyone made it back safely.{S}
 I wish we could have found Tamlen.{S}
 Why do you think the Grey Warden will not tell you about this cure?{S}
 Keeper Marethari will not let him withhold it.{S}
 I say we get your cure, move the clan north, and put this all behind us.{S}
 Have you talked to the keeper and the Grey Warden yet?{S}
 How did I get here, Fenarel?{S}
 I do not remember anything.{S}
 I have been here for two days?!{S}
 I need to talk to the keeper right away.{S}
 Does everyone know about the cave?{S}
 I am only supposed to take Merrill.{S}
 I do not think that is a good idea.{S}
 No, I can not take you.{S}
 Yes, though I do not know why.{S}
 I have no idea.{S}
 It brought us nothing but ill luck.{S}
 Why has the Grey Warden returned with you?{S}
 We have much to do before we can travel.{S}
 I am glad you have recovered.{S}
 Once we find Tamlen, we can concentrate on the journey northward.{S}
 It is light and sturdy... much better than the one I made last year.{S}
 My father made it and used it in battle against the Clayne tribes.{S}
 I will carry it with honor.{S}
 Take whatever you need.{S}
 I have relinquished nothing.{S}
 All Dalish are united in this: One day we shall have a homeland again.{S}
 Then I will keep my crafts for those who need them.{S}
 It may not have a history, but you will provide one for it soon enough, yes?{S}
 We did not wait for them to attack us.{S}
 Every Dalish clan in Ferelden united to bring the battle to them.{S}
 In Ferelden, in Orlais, wherever there are wild lands the humans cannot hold, we bring our aravels.{S}
 You met some at the last Gathering.{S}
 It was this very bow that my father used that day.{S}
 They would have slain us without a second thought.{S}
 I am glad to see you well, da'len, though you bring sorry news.{S}
 I see you have not returned with young Tamlen.{S}
 Why would you give away your father's bow?{S}
 Serves the humans right!{S}
 Let them fear us!{S}
 I did not find him, but I do not believe he is dead.{S}
 The Grey Warden says he will not be found.{S}
 I have heard of you.{S}
 A Grey Warden brought you back here!{S}
 I just found your camp a couple of days ago... a lucky thing.{S}
 I heard rumors in a nearby human village that a Dalish camp was close, and I hoped to find your hunters in the forest.{S}
 You were fortunate I did not shoot you, Pol.{S}
 I am sure you will find life among us more satisfying than with the shems, if no less harsh.{S}
 The clan has been very kind and welcoming.{S}
 I will do my best.{S}
 I hope they... we... find your missing friend very soon. <desc>Laughs</desc> That is funny!{S}
 You do not actually do that?{S}
 I hope you find him soon.{S}
 He will have to learn how to handle that bow quickly.{S}
 You have nothing to worry about, Pol.{S}
 Just do not be a coward like some and flee.{S}
 Prove yourself useful and the clan will be your home.{S}
 Do you know about Grey Wardens?{S}
 The hunter's name is Tamlen.{S}
 It is fortunate Duncan found you when he did...{S}
 I know not what dark power held you, but it nearly bled the life from you.{S}
 It was difficult even for my magic to keep you alive.{S}
 If he encountered the same thing you did, yes.{S}
 The Grey Warden said he found you alone outside a cave, already stricken.{S}
 I know only that the Grey Warden found you in front of a strange cave, sick and alone.{S}
 Do not worry, da'len.{S}
 Even I might have been intrigued enough by such a cave to explore it further.{S}
 Duncan thought there may have been darkspawn creatures inside the cave.{S}
 I know not what the other creatures might have been.{S}
 Why he thought there were darkspawn, I do not know.{S}
 What else did you find?{S}
 And it caused all this ?{S}
 I have never heard of such a thing in all the lore we have collected. <desc>Sigh</desc> I was hoping for answers when you woke, but there are only more questions.{S}
 Do you feel well enough to show us the way, da'len?{S}
 Without you we will not find it.{S}
 Remember, he has already been out there for two days without the magical aid you received.{S}
 Your fever broke, and the signs of whatever illness snared you are gone... but truthfully, I do not know if you are free from it or not.{S}
 We must watch your condition, but without you we will not find this cave.{S}
 Take Merrill with you to the cave.{S}
 Find Tamlen if you can, but do it swiftly.{S}
 He said he had been looking for our clan and had a hint of our whereabouts.{S}
 It is possible he sought a volunteer to join their order.{S}
 I know of no Dalish joining them since the days of the darkspawn wars, however.{S}
 It would be a great honor, though I do not know why any Dalish would choose such a life.{S}
 Regardless, he has not asked.{S}
 Joining the Grey Wardens would be a great honor.{S}
 But he has not asked.{S}
 He seemed honorable, and his care for your safety speaks well of him.{S}
 It seems the humans have little use for them if darkspawn are not actively razing their lands.{S}
 I suppose the thought of darkspawn returning one day did not occur to them.{S}
 If so, we must get as far away from it as possible.{S}
 Let the humans fight their battles, as we must fight our own.{S}
 Remember that Tamlen needs your help.{S}
 Then do not tarry.{S}
 Find Tamlen, quickly.{S}
 They are mostly boogeymen, used to frighten human children.{S}
 But rumor holds that great numbers dwell in the ancient tunnels of the durgen'len-- the dwarves.{S}
 Since you did not meet any darkspawn, I do not see how that could be.{S}
 They may have befouled the cave, but they did not build what is there.{S}
 From the Warden's description, it may have been a temple devoted to an old god.{S}
 It does not mean they extinguished them all.{S}
 She has a sense for these things, and could shed light on the nature of this illness.{S}
 Still, be careful... should you come upon this strange mirror again, do not touch it.{S}
 I send you back with hopes of finding Tamlen, and that is all.{S}
 We must get away from that horde.{S}
 Did you encounter any other humans out in the forest?{S}
 Well, a nearby village has taken exception to our presence.{S}
 I fear that they will try to drive us out.{S}
 You have stirred up a hornet's nest, da'len.{S}
 We have stayed too long, and we must move on--quickly.{S}
 Our clan could slaughter their entire village if we cared to... but at the cost of bringing their king's rage down on our heads.{S}
 These people are simple and have simple fears.{S}
 The Grey Wardens are an old and honorable order, da'len, and we Dalish have enough enemies.{S}
 I see you have not left with Merrill yet.{S}
 Is there something you need?{S}
 I am already putting Merrill at risk; I do not want to lose you too.{S}
 If we can find Tamlen, it is worth the risk.{S}
 You have my permission.{S}
 I am relieved you have returned!{S}
 And I did not expect to see you again so soon, Duncan.{S}
 What did you find of him?{S}
 Did you bring anything back?{S}
 I intended to use it to find a cure for this mysterious illness.{S}
 I trust you had good reasons for your actions?{S}
 I have learned a great deal since I was last here.{S}
 Let us speak privately within my aravel then, Duncan.{S}
 Da'len, allow me some time to speak with Duncan.{S}
 Seek us out at my aravel later, and we can discuss your cure.{S}
 It will not take long.{S}
 Tell Hahren Paivel what has occurred.{S}
 He now has the sad task of preparing a service for the dead.{S}
 I am eager to hear what you have to say.{S}
 If darkspawn are about, I want the clan prepared.{S}
 We need more time to discuss matters, da'len.{S}
 Please, allow us to talk privately.{S}
 I kept telling Tamlen that we should have come back!{S}
 Did he not go inside the cave himself and see?{S}
 What does a darkspawn look like?{S}
 What does a darkspawn look like?{S}
 Tamlen touched it.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Take Merrill to the cave and find Tamlen.{S}
 I need more equipment before I go.{S}
 I have questions about this Grey Warden.{S}
 I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper.{S}
 How did he know where to bring me?{S}
 Dalish have joined these Grey Wardens before?{S}
 Why did you believe anything this shemlen said?{S}
 I thought the Grey Wardens had disappeared.{S}
 And have they returned?{S}
 I have no more questions about the darkspawn, Keeper.{S}
 Could that bear-like monster have been a darkspawn?{S}
 I have never seen one before.{S}
 Why did the Grey Warden think I had met a darkspawn?{S}
 Did not the Grey Wardens destroy the darkspawn long ago?{S}
 Why do you want me to take Merrill?{S}
 But does not Merrill risk getting ill, as well?{S}
 You are going to let those shemlen drive us off?{S}
 I want to bring Fenarel with us to the cave.{S}
 The Grey Warden says we will find nothing.{S}
 The keeper called for the clan to move on, and they will be ready to take us.{S}
 Some say the clan will leave before we find him.{S}
 At any rate, I do not envy the keeper's decision.{S}
 At any rate, I do not envy the keeper's decision.{S}
 We do not dominate them as the shemlen do their horses and dogs.{S}
 It is good to see you again, though you bring sad news.{S}
 You bring sad news.{S}
 Should that make me happy?{S}
 We are going to find him; do not worry.{S}
 I will not allow that to happen.{S}
 Truthfully, I do not think he is dead.{S}
 The Grey Warden says we will not find him.{S}
 We must make haste; he may not have much time.{S}
 Then let us make haste while daylight lasts.{S}
 You did not think I would notice him?{S}
 Have you asked the keeper about this?{S}
 Master Ilen could help you, but do not tarry.{S}
 Even if I get sick, finding Tamlen--or something valuable--will be worth it.{S}
 I do not want to get you in trouble.{S}
 You want to risk Fenarel getting hurt?{S}
 I am not making the keeper angry with us for putting him in danger.{S}
 I do not believe you.{S}
 Are you trying to get me into trouble with the keeper?{S}
 Fine, but if the keeper gets angry, it is on your head.{S}
 Do you remember it being here?{S}
 And we have seen no sign of Tamlen.{S}
 Do you hear that?{S}
 It seems whatever you woke up inside that cave has... spread outside.{S}
 The sooner we find this cave, and Tamlen, the sooner we can leave.{S}
 Take us there quickly.{S}
 Did not he say he was headed back to the cave?{S}
 Even if the worst has happened, we cannot leave his body unburied.{S}
 The ruins are intriguing, but it feels like they have been... tainted by something.{S}
 Let us just see what there is and get out of here.{S}
 I wish we would had more time to examine those artifacts.{S}
 I have never seen anything like them!{S}
 Where did they come from?{S}
 What would darkspawn have to do with our people?{S}
 Well, we will find out soon enough.{S}
 Let us hope we do not find any more of these monsters.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Well, I will keep an eye on you.{S}
 You have only just recovered from your illness.{S}
 But let us not think of that now.{S}
 You... do look quite pale, now that Merrill's mentioned it.{S}
 Let us move on and hope we do not meet any more of these monsters.{S}
 But we must find Tamlen--or what is left of him.{S}
 Let us just hope he is here... somewhere.{S}
 Still, even if he is here somewhere... we need to find his body.{S}
 Let us just pray we are wrong.{S}
 Let us head out now.{S}
 I need supplies.{S}
 How much did the keeper tell you?{S}
 Are not you worried about getting sick?{S}
 We will do that.{S}
 I say he comes. <act>Lie</act> I did ask.{S}
 It is abandoned, whomever it belonged to.{S}
 Careful, I do not like this.{S}
 Maybe it belongs to the shemlen who found me.{S}
 What do you think happened to Tamlen?{S}
 What do you know about the Grey Wardens?{S}
 That would make sense.{S}
 I do not know!{S}
 Maybe the mirror has something to do with it.{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 I think I would have noticed.{S}
 Maybe they took him hostage.{S}
 Do not talk like that!{S}
 You do not know.{S}
 How do we know he did not hurt Tamlen?{S}
 Have you fully recovered?{S}
 I heard the keeper was confounded, that she had never seen anything like it.{S}
 Search parties have been looking for Tamlen since the Grey Warden brought you back.{S}
 If only you two never found that cave.{S}
 It would have been better off undiscovered for another millennia.{S}
 You did not return with Tamlen...{S}
 Why did that shemlen return with you?{S}
 Does he have further business with the clan?{S}
 So you have returned to us, da'len.{S}
 At least you still have fire in your belly.{S}
 I will take that as a sign of your improved health.{S}
 I will take your disrespect as an indication of your good health.{S}
 Sadly, Tamlen pays the price.{S}
 Or do you not remember?{S}
 Obviously, you do not remember why we struggle, or why that is important. <desc>Sigh</desc>Would you even know the reason behind your efforts?{S}
 Let us tell these children of the fall of the Dales.{S}
 All Dalish should know this tale and hold its lessons close to heart.{S}
 Hear the tale of what makes you Dalish.{S}
 Would you care to begin, da'len? <desc>Ahem</desc> Let us start with the <emp>history</emp> that makes us Dalish.{S}
 Yes, slaves to a terrible empire the humans built on the darkest magic.{S}
 When it fell, we became free.{S}
 We built a homeland in the Dales, worshipping the Creators and rebuilding the culture and history we lost in our long years of slavery.{S}
 They were resentful: because we would not worship their gods, and because we put our people first.{S}
 They took our lands and dispersed our people, forcing us to live in their cities and abandon our gods.{S}
 We instead chose to scatter to the winds, wandering the lands.{S}
 To survive and preserve our culture, the clans stay apart until the day the Elvhenan have a homeland once more.{S}
 I will let you get back to your tasks.{S}
 I pray you find Tamlen quickly.{S}
 You certainly do not need to ask an old storyteller twice.{S}
 I have never heard of such a thing.{S}
 But in the days of ancient Arlathan, we lived free and spread far across the continent.{S}
 Only that they eat living flesh and lurk in underground tunnels once ruled by the durgen'len: the dwarves.{S}
 The one who brought you back?{S}
 Members of our own clan joined their ranks in ages past.{S}
 Then I am sure you have much to do, unless you have other questions...{S}
 We can hope to find a new home one day, where the Dalish and the flat-ears will build a land greater even than Arlathan.{S}
 We shall teach the flat-ears the lore they lost... and perhaps they will teach us to understand the shemlen at last.{S}
 They remain in human cities, forgetting all they once had.{S}
 A few may return, but we must accept that they know nothing of the lore or why we keep it.{S}
 Perhaps they have no choice.{S}
 Dalish clans are scattered to the winds and rarely gather... which makes us difficult for any organized effort to destroy.{S}
 We have nothing they want... no land, no treasure.{S}
 And we always move on, allowing no one to grow too angry with us.{S}
 When the humans enslaved us, they took away our language, our history, and our immortality.{S}
 We were slaves for so long that even when we became free, there was little for us to recover.{S}
 If books still exist, I do not know of them.{S}
 I will let you get on with your business now.{S}
 We shall then return the old ways to those of our people who have lost them.{S}
 The humans invaded our homeland in the name of their one god, denouncing our "sacrilegious" nation.{S}
 How our history stays alive when our young have no interest, I will never know.{S}
 Once you saw what was inside, you should have returned.{S}
 But you kept exploring, did not you?{S}
 And you have no mind of your own?{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 So... another of our children has perished.{S}
 It seems the will of the Creators that I sing the dirge for those I held in my arms as babes.{S}
 Did you bring this news for a reason?{S}
 Our ancestors did not age as we do.{S}
 The shemlen brought a quickening to our blood that changed us forever.{S}
 In doing this, they made way for the young.{S}
 Alas, we have no such ceremonies these days.{S}
 We have no body to return to the soil, but we shall still sing for Tamlen.{S}
 Tell the keeper it shall be done before the clan is ready to move on.{S}
 We shall sing for him anyway, and pray he does not suffer.{S}
 You have met him now, yes?{S}
 You have done nothing of the sort, da'len.{S}
 Do not blame yourself.{S}
 You should not keep her waiting.{S}
 So I made a mistake.{S}
 I will try harder next time.{S}
 Well, children, it starts with a mommy and daddy elf...{S}
 Why do not you tell it from here, Hahren?{S}
 If you have ever lost your bow, it was a lot like that.{S}
 But the humans would not let us be.{S}
 We chose wandering the lands rather than the human rule.{S}
 Just think of the celebration we will have <emp>then</emp>!{S}
 We shall return the old ways to those who have lost them.{S}
 Let us hear that story you mentioned before.{S}
 Did elves ever live in caves?{S}
 What do you know about darkspawn?{S}
 What do you know about that Grey Warden?{S}
 Do you think we will ever find another homeland?{S}
 What happened to the elves who did not join the Dalish?{S}
 Why do the shems allow us to exist if they hate us so much?{S}
 Do no books record our history?{S}
 I have important things to do, Hahren.{S}
 I do not recognize that poem.{S}
 The keeper wants me to tell you to prepare a service.{S}
 That is all you need to know.{S}
 Do not look at me like that.{S}
 I do not think we have met.{S}
 It was good to meet you.{S}
 Perhaps I will get to hunt with you some day.{S}
 I got into trouble for stealing.{S}
 I am not a thief... we just never really had a choice.{S}
 Mother was a maid, and I was lucky if I could get work at the docks.{S}
 You make a living however you can, right?{S}
 When Mother died, I got drunk, and was caught picking a guard's pocket.{S}
 I will do my best to adjust and fit in...{S}
 Even if they did, I honestly do not think most of them would want to leave.{S}
 Wandering and hunting does not sound like much of a life.{S}
 At least they would live as free men, and as equals.{S}
 But to most elves I know, the only difference between them and humans is how much coin they have.{S}
 Coin is the great equalizer, not living free.{S}
 No one is allowed to walk around with <emp>any</emp> weapon.{S}
 Fighting just gets you arrested.{S}
 And I have never had to leave the city before, much less learn how to hunt.{S}
 You have never been to a city?{S}
 Surely you have at least visited a town?{S}
 I can not imagine never having seen a city.{S}
 We do not think about it like that.{S}
 Why did you leave the city?{S}
 You will not have to resort to that anymore.{S}
 Sometimes we must take what we need.{S}
 We do not have much call for thieving.{S}
 We hear city elves do not know what it means to be elven.{S}
 They just do not know the truth.{S}
 Do elves from the city learn to fight or shoot a bow?{S}
 I have never seen a shemlen city.{S}
 You are the elf I found wandering the forest, are not you?{S}
 I am surprised you have recovered.{S}
 I would have, had I not been battling them myself.{S}
 Perhaps you will do the same for me sometime.{S}
 Then I should be thankful we are having this discussion.{S}
 My name is Duncan, and it is a pleasure to finally meet you.{S}
 She owes me nothing.{S}
 He owes me nothing.{S}
 Even if you did not owe this human your life, a Grey Warden deserves respect.{S}
 It is a pleasure to finally meet you.{S}
 Your keeper did not send you after me, did she?{S}
 It is a good thing I do not return that feeling, would not you say?{S}
 The Grey Wardens have seen artifacts like this mirror before; it is Tevinter in origin, used for communication.{S}
 Tamlen's touch must have released it...{S}
 It is what made you sick--and Tamlen, too, I presume.{S}
 You have it still.{S}
 Do you want to lead them to your clan?{S}
 First, we deal with the mirror.{S}
 It is done.{S}
 Now, let us leave this cursed place.{S}
 Lead on.{S}
 You are sick, whether you feel it or not, and it does you no good to linger.{S}
 I care little for your manners, only that you attend to your health.{S}
 There is nothing we can do.{S}
 Let me be very clear: There is <emp>nothing</emp> you can do for him.{S}
 Through your keeper's healing arts and your own willpower, you did not die.{S}
 But Tamlen has no chance.{S}
 The darkspawn would have taken it.{S}
 Why would they take his body?{S}
 Not to... eat it, I hope...{S}
 For now, we must deal with the mirror...{S}
 I do not fear this sickness.{S}
 She may have weakened it, but she cannot cure it.{S}
 No, nor do I think I will.{S}
 Not when I found you.{S}
 I needed to get you to your people quickly.{S}
 But I knew I would find something like this.{S}
 Did you... come here alone, human?{S}
 Though I must admit, you took a great deal of pressure off me.{S}
 We still need more time.{S}
 Please, it will not take much longer.{S}
 Your keeper and I have spoken, and we have come to an arrangement that concerns you.{S}
 My order is in need of help.{S}
 You are in need of a cure.{S}
 When I leave, I hope you will join me.{S}
 You would make an excellent Grey Warden.{S}
 The Grey Wardens can prevent that, but it means joining us.{S}
 I would not offer this if I did not think you had the makings of a Grey Warden.{S}
 Let me be clear: You will likely never return here.{S}
 We go to fight the darkspawn, a battle that will take us far from your clan.{S}
 But we need you and others like you.{S}
 The cure is only found by joining the Grey Wardens.{S}
 We enlist only the worthy, and you have certainly proven yourself.{S}
 Should you join, it is unlikely you will ever be able to return here.{S}
 It is rare to have a Dalish amongst us, but they have always served with distinction.{S}
 I know you will do your clan proud, da'len.{S}
 Take this ring.{S}
 Say your farewells, then let us be off.{S}
 We have much ground to cover.{S}
 Before the Creators guide you from us, let your clan embrace you one last time.{S}
 We have much ground to cover, but I cannot deny you that.{S}
 I have already waited longer than is wise.{S}
 You can afford less delay than I can, and we have much ground to cover.{S}
 Then say your farewells, and let us be off.{S}
 We have much ground to cover.{S}
 But if this is what the Creators intend for you, da'len, meet your destiny with your head held high.{S}
 No matter where you go, you are Dalish.{S}
 We all pay a price for what we must do, I am afraid.{S}
 This way, you can find a cure <emp>and</emp> protect your clan.{S}
 Have courage.{S}
 If you heard the fighting, why did not you help?{S}
 I do not know you, human.{S}
 Nor do I owe you anything.{S}
 Most humans I meet are not worth talking to.{S}
 I had the darkspawn plague.{S}
 We need to take it to the keeper.{S}
 Let us leave.{S}
 I am not ready to give up the search just yet.{S}
 I did not mean to be rude.{S}
 I just want to look around to make sure.{S}
 I am not leaving until I find him!{S}
 Let us go back to the camp.{S}
 I do not know if I believe you, human.{S}
 Yes, Tamlen touched the mirror and I blacked out.{S}
 You have found some trace of Tamlen?{S}
 You would do that?{S}
 I will not join out of pity.{S}
 Can not you just give me the cure?{S}
 I am honored by your offer.{S}
 Then I accept this privilege, Duncan, if you will have me.{S}
 I suppose I have no choice.{S}
 You will pay for this, human!{S}
 This had better be worth it.{S}
 You cannot make me serve against my will.{S}
 Please, do not cast me away.{S}
 This is all I have ever known!{S}
 I would rather take my chances.{S}
 I would be honored, but how did this come about?{S}
 What does this have to do with my cure?{S}
 You recognize this statue, do not you?{S}
 I would never have guessed ancient elves might have lived here!{S}
 We must have lived in other places, too.{S}
 Even if elves did not live here, its architects knew of our gods.{S}
 Yes... time and decay take their toll.{S}
 Let us keep looking around.{S}
 It is worn, but it looks vaguely familiar...{S}
 We are nowhere near Arlathan, and this proves nothing.{S}
 Why should I care?{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 I do not know if it would really harm the Ashes.{S}
 And in matters of faith, I am inclined to follow my heart.{S}
 I have waited years for this.{S}
 Why have you been here for so long?{S}
 Humans Near the Camp <emp>Find the cave</emp>{S}
 You and Tamlen found humans near the camp and ran them off.{S}
 The humans had with them elven artifacts that they said they picked up from some ruins in a cave near here.{S}
 If the cave really contains some of the lost history of your people, it would be worth locating. <emp>Find the cave</emp>{S}
 You and Tamlen found humans near the camp and killed one of them as a warning to the others.{S}
 The humans had with them elven artifacts that they said they picked up from some ruins in a cave near here.{S}
 If the cave really contains some of the lost history of your people, it would be worth locating. <emp>Find the cave</emp>{S}
 You and Tamlen found humans near the camp and killed them so they could not cause any trouble.{S}
 They had with them elven artifacts that they said they picked up from some ruins in a cave near here.{S}
 It has been my duty, my life, to protect the Urn and prepare the way for the faithful who come to revere Andraste.{S}
 For years beyond counting have I been here, and shall I remain until my task is done and the Imperium has crumbled into the sea. <emp>Investigate the cave</emp>{S}
 You have found the entrance to the cave the humans were blithering about.{S}
 I do not know, and I do not question.{S}
 No one can take the Ashes.{S}
 For someone to take the Ashes?{S}
 There is joy to be found in my duty.{S}
 Who are the men who have taken over the rest of the temple?{S}
 Kolgrim and his followers do not regard you very highly.{S}
 What can you tell me about the Urn of Sacred Ashes? <emp>Find Tamlen</emp>{S}
 You have been brought back to the Dalish camp by a human.{S}
 The clan is moving north soon and you must make haste.{S}
 Merrill has joined your search party to look for Tamlen in the ruins.{S}
 Fenarel <emp>Take another look around for Tamlen</emp>{S}
 You met Duncan, the human Grey Warden who saved you in the ruins.{S}
 He said that the mirror Tamlen touched was tainted and that it had made you both sick.{S}
 He broke it to stop it from doing any more harm.{S}
 Duncan has returned to camp.{S}
 When my brethren and I carried Andraste from Tevinter to this sanctuary, we vowed to forever revere Her memory, and guard Her.{S}
 I have watched generations of my brethren take up the mantle of their fathers.{S}
 For centuries they did this, unwavering, joyful, in their appointed task.{S}
 You met Duncan, the human Grey Warden who saved you, in the ruins.{S}
 He said that the mirror Tamlen touched was tainted and that it had made you both sick.{S}
 He broke it to stop it from doing any more harm and you returned to the camp with him. <emp>Speak to Keeper Marethari</emp>{S}
 Duncan and the keeper needed to speak in private.{S}
 You have performed the tasks the keeper asked of you, and now it is time to discover what she and Duncan were discussing.{S}
 You have been recruited as a Grey Warden.{S}
 Duncan has explained that you are still infected with the illness that came from the ruins and that only his organization can save you.{S}
 His heart is laced with poison and he has led many astray.{S}
 But now they have lost their way.{S}
 They have forgotten Andraste, and their promise.{S}
 Will your task ever be done?{S}
 The dragon is a fearsome creature, and they must have seen her as an alternative to the absent Maker and His silent Andraste.{S}
 Then perhaps this is the beginning of the end...{S}
 A true believer would not require audacious displays of power.{S}
 What do you know about these Disciples of Andraste?{S}
 They have forgotten that Andraste was just a messenger.{S}
 How did the belief spread to the rest of the disciples?{S}
 It began with an ancestor of the one known as Kolgrim.{S}
 Would you like me to get rid of these disciples?{S}
 You have come to honor Andraste, and you shall, if you prove yourself worthy.{S}
 The Gauntlet does that.{S}
 Still, you must prove yourself worthy.{S}
 So I have to fight you?{S}
 I need the Ashes to cure a noble man.{S}
 All right, let us get this over with then.{S}
 I demand that you take me to the Urn.{S}
 You are not looking to get across to the tower, are you?{S}
 Because I have strict orders not to let <emp>anyone</emp> pass!{S}
 No one gets to the tower.{S}
 I have one job, and one job only, and by the Maker's shiny gold cutlery, I will do it!{S}
 Oh, and He is told you that, has He?{S}
 Well, you are still not getting in this tower.{S}
 Prove it.{S}
 See if you get into the tower on your own.{S}
 Do not question royalty.{S}
 And if you can not prove you are who you say you are, I am not letting you in.{S}
 Let us see some righteous Grey Wardening.{S}
 Good thing I do not have to kill them then.{S}
 I do not know... my instincts tell me darkspawn should not have blood like ours.{S}
 We have been through this before.{S}
 Pay attention.{S}
 Not that I am saying I will eventually let you in.{S}
 Look, I am uh, just trying to do my job.{S}
 I will take you right now... just like you wanted.{S}
 He will not know if you never get in, will he?{S}
 Ooh, I have outsmarted you!{S}
 You think Greagoir would be upset with me for not letting you in?{S}
 I bet he could deal with one Grey Warden.{S}
 Well, you want that I should take you there now?{S}
 Do not mind me...{S}
 I bet you can not even sense them!{S}
 Why do not you go away and I will not bother you anymore.{S}
 Ooh, I do not know.{S}
 I think I am going to have to think about this.{S}
 Come to chat a little, have you?{S}
 Not so nifty, is it, the tower, once you get in?{S}
 You did good things here.{S}
 Let me in and I will not bother you anymore.{S}
 I am a Grey Warden and I seek the assistance of the mages.{S}
 I need to get to the tower.{S}
 I am a mage, let me in.{S}
 I have some documents that compel the Circle to help me.{S}
 As a Grey Warden, I demand to be brought to the tower.{S}
 This is official Grey Warden business, now take me there.{S}
 I need the first enchanter's help.{S}
 Just take me to whoever's in charge.{S}
 I really have business here.{S}
 The Maker probably does not have cutlery.{S}
 Let me in.{S}
 I do not have to prove anything to you.{S}
 I have these documents here...{S}
 Prove it?{S}
 Grey Wardening is not something you do.{S}
 It is not black, but it burns you when it touches you.{S}
 Kill a darkspawn and find out for yourself.{S}
 I will deal with you later.{S}
 I warn you, my patience is wearing thin.{S}
 Your superior will not like that you have given me trouble.{S}
 Yes, he will be very mad if you do not let me in.{S}
 Well, we should try our best to avoid that, should not we?{S}
 Yes, please do.{S}
 I have killed more darkspawn that you can imagine.{S}
 I do sense darkspawn.{S}
 I am a Grey Warden; I need to see the first enchanter.{S}
 In the prototype it is treated as a skill however.{S}
 What skill level would you like to have?{S}
 Select which plots/backgrounds to set.{S}
 Lock-picking.{S}
 The player [did not speak] with Wynne at Ostagar.{S}
 The player has [not] completed the Arl Eamon plot.{S}
 The player [did not go] undercover in the mage origin.{S}
 Set plots completed/background.{S}
 Jowan has been banished.{S}
 The player has completed the Arl Eamon plot.{S}
 Why, bless my soul, what is a distinguished personage like yourself doing here?{S}
 Of course someone does!{S}
 Do not hold your breath.{S}
 No one's been allowed across the lake for days.{S}
 I am the ferryman, leastwise I used to be.{S}
 I do not got a clue.{S}
 Oh, Carroll told you that, did he?{S}
 Greagoir just came down, and said, "Do not you worry, Kester.{S}
 We got it all under control, we do."{S}
 Did not say nothing else.{S}
 And then he puts Carroll in charge of my boat, Lissie!{S}
 Named for my grandmum, she was.{S}
 They did not tell me nothing.{S}
 And if I know them mages, I am better off keeping out of their business.{S}
 If I had to guess, I would guess it had to do with magic.{S}
 But the tower's always got something to do with magic.{S}
 Do I look like a templar?{S}
 Do not look at me.{S}
 But I am telling you, some storms do not blow over easy.{S}
 Your type do not usually give my type the time of day.{S}
 You could try swimming, but I do not recommend it.{S}
 Wow, I have never seen one of you knife-ears dressed like the king of Ferelden before.{S}
 You made good for yourself, eh?{S}
 Oh, I do not mean no offense.{S}
 I am just not use to your kind trussed up all fancy.{S}
 I do not mean nothing by it, I swear.{S}
 I should start over.{S}
 I am mighty pleased to be making your acquaintance, ser.{S}
 I was just saying it is nice to meet someone such as yourself.{S}
 I am mighty pleased to be making your acquaintance, miss.{S}
 I remember taking you across when you left with that fellow, Duncan.{S}
 And now you are a Grey Warden... my pap used to tell me stories about them.{S}
 Templars took the boat.{S}
 They took my boat and Greagoir will not tell me nothing.{S}
 Used to be the ferryman.{S}
 Now they got me just sitting here, waiting.{S}
 Come to see how old Kester's doing, eh?{S}
 Keep safe, you hear?{S}
 I am lucky he is good enough to give me the time of day.{S}
 He is polite as can be, but he is always a little distant, if you get my drift.{S}
 I know what they say about mages but... the Maker made them for a purpose.{S}
 I do not like the tone of your voice, but I will not pry.{S}
 Maker have mercy.{S}
 Did you come from the tower?{S}
 What in Maker's name is going on there?{S}
 I guess I do not got a choice but to ask Greagoir next time he stops by.{S}
 I appreciate you coming by to give me the news.{S}
 Maybe they will give me my boat back soon.{S}
 I was looking to get across the lake to the tower.{S}
 So I can not get across?{S}
 The guard on the docks would not let me by.{S}
 You have no clue why they would stop people from going across?{S}
 But I have to get there.{S}
 I have to find out what is going on.{S}
 I could convince the templars to let me in.{S}
 Is there no way to get across?{S}
 So is there no way for me to get to the tower?{S}
 I made good.{S}
 You mean you are used to seeing us as slaves or servants.{S}
 Well met.{S}
 Do you know how I can get to the tower?{S}
 Do you know why I am not allowed to go to the tower?{S}
 Why would they take your boat?{S}
 What do you know about that templar, Carroll?{S}
 I found out what is going on in the tower.{S}
 They have taken over the tower.{S}
 I am supposed to help get rid of the abominations.{S}
 Greagoir is taking steps to stop this from going further.{S}
 I am busy, find out on your own.{S}
 The Circle had some trouble, but it is over now.{S}
 I think you will be getting your boat back soon.{S}
 The Circle has been saved.{S}
 Most of the mages have fallen, but the tower is safe now.{S}
 If we get out, we are going to need gold.{S}
 Keep your mouth shut and we will be right as rain.{S}
 Do not open the doors without my express consent.{S}
 I do not have time to entertain visitors...{S}
 I explicitly told Carroll not to bring anyone across the lake.{S}
 We are dealing with a very delicate situation.{S}
 We cannot help, no matter which side of the civil war you represent.{S}
 The Circle's fate hangs in the balance, and the templars that serve it must remain.{S}
 I am weary of the Grey Wardens' ceaseless need for men to fight the darkspawn, but it is their right.{S}
 You will find no allies here.{S}
 The tower has fallen.{S}
 My men did what they could, but it wasn't enough.{S}
 They took us by surprise.{S}
 We were prepared for one or two abominations--not the horde that fell upon us.{S}
 We will stand guard to make sure nothing leaves.{S}
 We do not mean for the doors to stay closed forever.{S}
 I have sent word to Denerim, calling for reinforcements and the Right of Annulment.{S}
 The Right of Annulment gives templars the authority to neutralize the mage Circle.{S}
 There is no alternative--everything in the tower must be destroyed so it can be made safe again.{S}
 If there was, do you not think I would have chosen it?{S}
 If any are still alive, the Maker Himself has shielded them.{S}
 No one could have survived those monstrous creatures.{S}
 It is too painful to hope for survivors and find... nothing.{S}
 Denerim must have its hands full.{S}
 I pray they have not forgotten our plight.{S}
 The civil war has no doubt caused much turmoil.{S}
 Has the Chantry been caught up in it?{S}
 While the door holds, we wait.{S}
 Denerim must have received our message--it cannot be much longer.{S}
 I too would like to know how this started.{S}
 What can you do?{S}
 Are you saying you will help us deal with this problem?{S}
 It is the innocent folk of Ferelden who matter.{S}
 I should wait... but I do not have the luxury of refusing help when it is offered.{S}
 What do you propose?{S}
 You must face and slaughter the abominations to get to the bottom of this.{S}
 Are you sure you can handle them?{S}
 If, by some miracle, you destroy the abominations, yes--the templars will join your army.{S}
 A Grey Warden has many other things to be concerned about.{S}
 Did you manage to put it down?{S}
 But you have seen one, have you not?{S}
 If you have fought an abomination, then you understand their evil.{S}
 I knew Jowan would cause no end of trouble.{S}
 Still, you have seen what we face.{S}
 You know what they are--madness and cruelty made flesh.{S}
 You think you can deal with them, when even templars are loathe to enter the tower?{S}
 Ah, that arrogance hangs about you like some fell cloud, does not it?{S}
 If you succeed, I would owe you much, enough that I would pledge my templars to your cause.{S}
 We have nothing to offer you but gratitude and service.{S}
 I have heard the tower holds many valuable artifacts.{S}
 I expect we will have to consider them lost or destroyed.{S}
 I will open them for no one until I have proof that it is safe.{S}
 If Irving has fallen... then the Circle is lost, and must be destroyed.{S}
 Where you lead, my men and I shall follow.{S}
 And what was I to do?{S}
 Leave the door open as the abominations poured out?{S}
 All the Circles have doors like these, to prevent abominations from... getting loose.{S}
 Any abominations remaining in there must be dealt with no matter what.{S}
 The grand cleric has granted the Right of Annulment, but we must wait to attack the tower until reinforcements arrive from Denerim.{S}
 I would guess the darkspawn fight has pulled too many templars from their rightful duties.{S}
 I had no choice.{S}
 Creatures of the Fade can use mages to enter our world.{S}
 They may as well have.{S}
 What does it matter?{S}
 Do not think I have forgotten your role in Jowan's escape.{S}
 Do you not realize the damage he might have already caused?{S}
 He is one man in all the world, and we have no way to locate him.{S}
 I suppose I cannot fault you for that... though Irving could have done more to prevent what happened.{S}
 It set a dangerous precedent.{S}
 I should have been more vigilant... and urged Irving to be more wary.{S}
 I can only hope that someday Jowan gets what he deserves.{S}
 But right now I have other pressing concerns.{S}
 Do you?{S}
 That is a relief, though I do not know if I should trust you.{S}
 Now, we are dealing with a situation that does not involve you, <emp>Grey Warden</emp>.{S}
 Are they keeping people out?{S}
 The tower has been quiet for awhile.{S}
 I suppose I have time to answer your questions.{S}
 Do not misunderstand.{S}
 I do not want to do this.{S}
 I do, however, see that the Right of Annulment may be necessary.{S}
 We cannot allow it.{S}
 And the mages... if any live, I do not know what they may have become.{S}
 We may have to kill them, to be certain.{S}
 My history does not concern you.{S}
 I am sure you have better things to do than pry into someone else's personal life.{S}
 As I said, I do not know.{S}
 Perhaps you will find answers in the tower.{S}
 If you can destroy the abominations, I will pledge my men to your cause in return.{S}
 Maker's breath, I did not expect to see you alive.{S}
 We have won back the tower.{S}
 You have proven yourself a friend of both the Circle, and the templars.{S}
 They are free to help you, however.{S}
 The templars guard and advise, but the first enchanter has the last word in what happens in the Circle.{S}
 For now, I will have to oversee a sweep of the tower.{S}
 There may be some survivors and we should do our best to tend to them.{S}
 And Irving... it is good to have you back.{S}
 Before we go any further, I would like to bring something up, if I may.{S}
 I will hear what Wynne has to say.{S}
 I must thank you for what you have done, but I have watched you, and I have seen some things that cause me concern.{S}
 The spells you use are unfamiliar and not taught by the Circle.{S}
 Where did you learn to do this magic?{S}
 Yes, you do.{S}
 You owe us all an explanation.{S}
 But I know a great deal.{S}
 The Grey Wardens do not teach such magic.{S}
 Who taught you?{S}
 The Wardens have many books reserved for themselves alone.{S}
 I have not forgotten that.{S}
 Then I apologize for bringing the matter up at all.{S}
 I believe you had something else to discuss?{S}
 I can believe that the Grey Wardens teach their recruits spells that would be... frowned upon in the Circle.{S}
 I hate to say this, but some of the things you were doing were hardly distinguishable from what those blood mages were doing.{S}
 You know what happened to Jowan and you saw what they did to the tower.{S}
 You did help us, and for that, we will give you a chance to surrender.{S}
 You shall be held here, of course, under templar supervision.{S}
 This is a generous offer.{S}
 You were seen using blood magic.{S}
 Then I am sorry it has come to this, but you must be eliminated.{S}
 It pains me to see you have fallen so far.{S}
 Do what you wish, Greagoir.{S}
 I suppose I may have been wrong.{S}
 It has happened before...{S}
 You must have been on edge.{S}
 We do not know how many of them have turned.{S}
 Do not you know what they did?{S}
 I will not let this happen again!{S}
 I know and I... would do anything to prevent this atrocity from re-occurring.{S}
 I will do what I believe is in the best interests of the Circle, as I have always done.{S}
 Do what you think is necessary.{S}
 They will undoubtedly have plans for you.{S}
 We still have things to discuss.{S}
 Cullen, take these mages away and watch them carefully.{S}
 Make sure they get the healing they require.{S}
 I will have no more blood on my hands.{S}
 And we will not make the same mistakes twice.{S}
 I am grateful for what you have done, and I did give you my word that we would aid you in your battle against the darkspawn.{S}
 Once we have secured the tower, my men and I will make our way to battle.{S}
 After all, we still have not heard from Denerim, and the darkspawn threaten all of Ferelden.{S}
 It falls to me to decide what we must do.{S}
 There are loose ends to be tied up, and the Chantry must be informed that the situation here is under control.{S}
 We will meet again soon.{S}
 The king has given you the authority to gather forces to defend Ferelden.{S}
 We will serve you, as we would our monarch.{S}
 But--as was brought to my attention some time ago--you were just following orders.{S}
 It seems you have gained some maturity and wisdom during your time away from the Circle.{S}
 I certainly appreciate your efforts to make up for past... mistakes.{S}
 You said you have proof.{S}
 I will not risk leaving the doors open.{S}
 We no longer have to fear their dark powers.{S}
 There is so much to be done here.{S}
 I have work here, but we will head to the battle before long.{S}
 Trust me, I will not let you down.{S}
 The Circles there will send us senior enchanters, and they will make up the new Circle.{S}
 I shan't keep you then.{S}
 Where did you hear about this?{S}
 Where did you get this?{S}
 He intended to sell this lyrium to the templars?{S}
 The templars are only to use it at the command of the Chantry.{S}
 I will seek out this Godwin and learn more about this.{S}
 Do you know where Godwin is?{S}
 I will get my men to search for him, assuming he is still alive.{S}
 I would have liked to have questioned him.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I need more information before I can come to a decision.{S}
 I shall have to find out which of my templars has been purchasing this smuggled lyrium, of course.{S}
 My gratitude, and the satisfaction of knowing you have again helped the templars.{S}
 That is all I can offer.{S}
 Sell it?{S}
 It is your lyrium now, and yours to do with as you wish.{S}
 Thank you for bringing this to my attention.{S}
 It reflects badly on the templars and I hope this has not colored your view of us.{S}
 The dwarves have no connection to the Fade and magic.{S}
 Likely she is been taken in by fantastic stories about the wonders of magic, more fiction than fact.{S}
 The Circle is in no shape to take apprentices, let alone dwarven tag-alongs.{S}
 Her childish dreams of magic will have to suffice.{S}
 May they give her comfort.{S}
 My men have scouted the tower.{S}
 Doubtful, but it does not hurt to be optimistic sometimes.{S}
 And I am thankful you arrived when you did.{S}
 Well, I could hardly get a straight answer out of that man, what with all his begging and snivelling.{S}
 But he has told me all about his lyrium smuggling racket.{S}
 I must have been blind to not have noticed it.{S}
 Thank you for bringing it to my attention.{S}
 No, I need mages to battle the Blight.{S}
 Yes--I need the mages' help.{S}
 We need all the help we can get.{S}
 The mages have an obligation to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 But I seek the mages' help to defeat the darkspawn.{S}
 Sounds like the templars haven't been doing their job.{S}
 How did this happen?{S}
 I would have done the same.{S}
 You should have fought them.{S}
 Why do not you rally your men and kill them all?{S}
 Has nothing emerged yet?{S}
 What good will that do?{S}
 It is unfortunate, but I see that you have little choice.{S}
 The abominations cannot be allowed to leave.{S}
 When did you send word to Denerim?{S}
 If I help you deal with the Circle, will you lend me aid?{S}
 If I help you do this, will you join my army?{S}
 There must be something I can do.{S}
 I could find out what really happened in there.{S}
 Will you lend me aid if I do the same for you?{S}
 People in there might need help.{S}
 You can not abandon them.{S}
 I can make sure this never happens.{S}
 This tower must be purged--I will do this for you.{S}
 I will investigate the tower and see what can be done.{S}
 I help you, and you join my army to defeat the darkspawn.{S}
 I have confidence in my abilities.{S}
 I have faced abominations before.{S}
 Yes--it was a demon that had possessed a child.{S}
 Yes, I dealt with it.{S}
 Yes--it was the child that Jowan had been teaching magic.{S}
 I need to think this over.{S}
 I must try.{S}
 It is the right thing to do.{S}
 Of course I can deal with them.{S}
 I need to think about the right course of action.{S}
 Is that all you can offer me?{S}
 I must give this some consideration.{S}
 Very well, we have a deal.{S}
 We have an agreement, then.{S}
 What does that mean?{S}
 Have all the mages become abominations?{S}
 I would expected you would have caught him by now.{S}
 I was just doing as I was told.{S}
 What has become of the first enchanter?{S}
 Actually, I have news of Jowan.{S}
 I saw him, but I do not know where he is now.{S}
 That is all you need to know.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You do not mean that.{S}
 As a Grey Warden, I have a right to know what is happening.{S}
 I had a few other questions.{S}
 Do not you feel guilty about wanting to slaughter everything?{S}
 How did you become a templar?{S}
 How did this trouble start again?{S}
 That sounds like a fair deal.{S}
 I have resolved your duty here, as you said.{S}
 You owe me.{S}
 I require aid.{S}
 It had to be done.{S}
 And what will the templars do?{S}
 I do not owe you an explanation.{S}
 You do not know everything that is taught in the Circle.{S}
 Do not forget that these spells also helped this Circle.{S}
 I have only used such spells against the greatest evils.{S}
 I dealt with the Circle's problems.{S}
 You owe me.{S}
 I require aid, as I said before.{S}
 Yes, Greagoir and I had an agreement.{S}
 I do know spells not taught by the Circle.{S}
 I do not know how to respond to this.{S}
 Everything I have done has made me better at battling evil.{S}
 You have got this wrong.{S}
 Oh, you make it sound so bad.{S}
 You cannot do this to me.{S}
 I will not put my life in the hands of some Chantry fool.{S}
 Why do you let the Chantry dictate the extent of your power?{S}
 I have only ever used spells I learned here.{S}
 Everyone makes mistakes.{S}
 Well, what does the knight-commander think, then?{S}
 I have delivered what you asked.{S}
 We still need to discuss what you promised.{S}
 So I have the aid of the templars then?{S}
 You will make a fine addition to my army.{S}
 It was the best thing to do.{S}
 I serve Ferelden now, not just the mages.{S}
 I feel some regret, but I did it for the good of the Circle.{S}
 Perhaps it makes up for the part I played in Jowan's escape?{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I have killed Uldred, the mage responsible for all of this.{S}
 I need to go.{S}
 You need to leave for the battlefront as soon as possible.{S}
 I have things to attend to.{S}
 Do you know about templars buying smuggled lyrium?{S}
 Talk to Godwin, he is been selling the templars lyrium.{S}
 Well, I have this lyrium here...{S}
 Just know I was told to give it to a mage named Godwin.{S}
 A smuggler dwarf in Orzammar wanted me to give it to Godwin.{S}
 I do not know where he is.{S}
 What will you do about this problem?{S}
 Do not I get something for bringing this information to you?{S}
 If you have this all in hand, I should go.{S}
 And what am I to do with this lyrium?{S}
 What shall I do with this lyrium?{S}
 I think I will hold on to this for now.{S}
 You take it.{S}
 Someone had to do it.{S}
 I do not suppose this is what you expected the Circle to be like, is it?{S}
 We did not talk much.{S}
 Then I would not have been here when all this happened.{S}
 I keep thinking this is our punishment for being mages.{S}
 That is why the templars have to... do away with us.{S}
 We need to atone for this.{S}
 We should let the templars come.{S}
 May we abandon our tainted bodies to find peace with the Maker.{S}
 Oh, come, swift sword, and deliver me, that I might find the Maker again...{S}
 Actually, I am surprised this does not happen more often.{S}
 This is not a common occurrence, I take it?{S}
 I do not remember you.{S}
 Hello, how have you been?{S}
 Would not it have been better if Andraste hadn't died at all?{S}
 You are delirious and I do not want to talk to you.{S}
 That is one way of putting it.{S}
 The horror of this ordeal has unhinged you, I see.{S}
 It is given freely.{S}
 I am sorry that your homecoming has been... marred.{S}
 I would never have imagined the teyrn a traitor.{S}
 We do not need your sympathy.{S}
 They should have seen it coming.{S}
 I would have died if I was in the thick of things.{S}
 I was lucky to have escaped.{S}
 I knew he was up to something the minute I met him.{S}
 How did you find out?{S}
 It is a mess and I have not been able to get it into a state fit to be seen.{S}
 I was trying to tidy up, but there was little I could do.{S}
 I must keep it clean.{S}
 I tried to leave, when things got quiet.{S}
 Finding no other way out, I returned to work.{S}
 My emotions were taken from me a long time ago.{S}
 I do not know, but he came here with several others, and took the Litany of Adralla.{S}
 He came here, with several others, and took the Litany of Adralla.{S}
 This is what I have heard.{S}
 Blood magic allows one to dominate the mind and will of another.{S}
 If Niall wanted the Litany, it stands to reason that he believes it will be needed.{S}
 Is blood magic at work here?{S}
 Niall was in the meeting.{S}
 We should find Niall.{S}
 The Litany will give us a fighting chance against any blood mages we encounter.{S}
 The Tranquil do not have emotions.{S}
 Owain, you should have said something!{S}
 I would have opened the door for you.{S}
 Do you not remember?{S}
 Please do not draw attention to me.{S}
 Do not you want to get out of here?{S}
 What is this Niall trying to do?{S}
 We will be able to handle it.{S}
 What am I supposed to do now?{S}
 I wish she did not get so worked up over things.{S}
 And she is holding up the barrier...{S}
 I do not know if she is up to this...{S}
 This ordeal has been hard on her.{S}
 I do not know what I would have done if she had died... for me.{S}
 I owe her too much.{S}
 Just try not to upset her, all right?{S}
 I should not take up any more of your time.{S}
 She might be completely fine, but then again, maybe she did not come away from that totally unharmed.{S}
 I will, do not worry.{S}
 Well, she is getting on in years.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 Well, she seems to have survived.{S}
 You probably could not have survived without her.{S}
 She just had the wind knocked out of her then.{S}
 So have I, and no one has any sympathy for me.{S}
 I will try my best.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 We are running low on supplies and I do not know how much longer we will last.{S}
 We need the abominations and demons out of this place, if that is what you mean.{S}
 If you have anything to trade, that would be helpful too.{S}
 I did not think it was possible.{S}
 I am sure you need supplies after that.{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 You have supplies for sale?{S}
 All right, let us trade.{S}
 They will rip you apart and eat you from the inside out.{S}
 Have you ever seen an abomination?{S}
 You proved that.{S}
 I wish this had never happened, but I am glad it is over.{S}
 I owe you my life.{S}
 I have been assigned bringing out the bodies and burning them.{S}
 I have a crick in my back and my bum's gone numb.{S}
 Those demons did not know what hit them, did they?{S}
 Not as pleased as I am that you came along when you did.{S}
 What do you think I could do to you?{S}
 Have you seen you?{S}
 Or more accurately, have you seen the demons you made short work of?{S}
 We do not have to argue.{S}
 You do not like me, and I would rather be out of here and out of your hair.{S}
 I decided that the best thing to do in that situation was to hide and be very, very quiet.{S}
 The templars have locked the door.{S}
 But do not take this the wrong way.{S}
 May we meet again, in happier, less life-threatening times.{S}
 Did he, um, have anything for me?{S}
 Well, mages need lyrium.{S}
 You know the Circle always needs lyrium...{S}
 You should not even have to ask...{S}
 I am sure you have far better things to worry about, after all.{S}
 Ah, no offence meant, but I do not see how it is any of your business.{S}
 Just... keep your hands to yourself.{S}
 However, you will forgive me if I choose to withhold some information.{S}
 I suppose you did at that...{S}
 Well, yes, but you see... the templars use lyrium, too.{S}
 They cannot manipulate natural energies like mages can, but they need to be able to fight us.{S}
 The big problem with lyrium is that it has... diminishing returns.{S}
 They see things that are not there, or have trouble holding onto a thought.{S}
 One of the fellows here has it pretty bad.{S}
 If it wasn't me and Rogek, someone else would do it.{S}
 I get by.{S}
 I think I will take the risk.{S}
 Fine, take this.{S}
 It is all I have on me at the moment.{S}
 You will not give me my lyrium and now this.{S}
 Take all of this.{S}
 It is all I have right now.{S}
 And what do you think you will do about it?{S}
 I feel like an apprentice, having something confiscated because I misbehaved.{S}
 Be reasonable, I did not do anything really bad...{S}
 You can not do that.{S}
 Greagoir does not have time for trivialities!{S}
 Oh, you will do what you will do, will not you?{S}
 Saving me from the demons does not give you the right to preach.{S}
 Those that know what I do have good reason not to get me in trouble.{S}
 You are... you are taking advantage of the templars!{S}
 I will take it off your hands right now.{S}
 Out of curiosity, do you know why this lyrium took so long to get here?{S}
 Always causing trouble... how is the situation now?{S}
 Hmm, I suppose you do not have much invested in our little operation.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 I have got this shipment.{S}
 Maybe I will see you once all this trouble has died down.{S}
 Please, do not hurt me.{S}
 I just... do not want to die.{S}
 I will try to calm down.{S}
 It is hard to remain quiet and hidden when you keep approaching me like this.{S}
 Is there something you need from me?{S}
 Well, the demons are gone, and I figured that if you really wanted to kill me, you would have done it by now.{S}
 What do you want now?{S}
 You know, it is hard to stay hidden when you keep finding me.{S}
 And do not think I have forgotten you still have the lyrium.{S}
 Do not you have demons to kill or something?{S}
 You are going to lead them right to me.{S}
 I would kiss your feet if I did not think you would kill me.{S}
 I shan't take up more of your time.{S}
 I am sure you have better things to do.{S}
 And I would like some rest after my ordeal, so... well met and perhaps we will speak later.{S}
 I would kiss your feet if you did not look as though you would kill me if I did that.{S}
 Might not seem like much coming from me but I appreciate what you have done for us.{S}
 You still have my lyrium though... and I am not going to soon forget that.{S}
 I am pleased to meet you.{S}
 Keep your hands where I can see them.{S}
 I do not trust you.{S}
 I will do the same to you, if you do anything suspicious.{S}
 Well, I still do not trust you.{S}
 How did you end up in that closet?{S}
 I have killed most of the demons.{S}
 Do what you wish.{S}
 Take care.{S}
 Your name is Godwin?{S}
 I met a dwarf who mentioned you.{S}
 Lyrium, but I bought it so you are dealing with me now.{S}
 Why do you need all this lyrium?{S}
 Keep your secrets if you wish.{S}
 I think I will take my leave of you now.{S}
 The Circle gets its lyrium from Orzammar's miner's guild.{S}
 You must make a lot of money off of this.{S}
 I am going to do something about this.{S}
 Share some of that wealth, or people will find out.{S}
 I am not going to let this continue.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Greagoir is going to find out about this.{S}
 You are not getting this lyrium.{S}
 If they find you dead, they will assume a demon got you.{S}
 I will spare you, but I am not going to let this go on.{S}
 I have made up my mind.{S}
 You have, and you should reflect on your actions.{S}
 How do you keep this operation hidden?{S}
 There is trouble in Orzammar and they are keeping people out.{S}
 Why do not you go to Orzammar and find out for yourself?{S}
 I think the unrest will continue for some time.{S}
 They have a new king.{S}
 You would have to ask Rogek.{S}
 I do not feel like explaining it.{S}
 Why should not I do away with you right now?{S}
 I suppose I might have been unnecessarily harsh.{S}
 I did not mean to frighten you.{S}
 Stay where you are and do not move.{S}
 I see you have calmed down a little.{S}
 And I am still not giving it to you.{S}
 I just wanted to see that you were doing all right.{S}
 I am curious about why you needed the lyrium.{S}
 Well, I am pleased to meet you, Godwin.{S}
 What are we doing?{S}
 Have you thought about it?{S}
 We are making sure no one disrupts Uldred's plan.{S}
 Neither did I, but this is what we are faced with and--{S}
 Please, please do not kill me.{S}
 I know I have no right to ask for mercy, but I did not mean for this death and destruction.{S}
 We were just trying to free ourselves.{S}
 Uldred told us that the Circle would support Loghain and Loghain would help us be free of the Chantry.{S}
 You do not know what it was like.{S}
 We thought... someone always has to take the first step... force a change, no matter the cost.{S}
 And now Uldred's gone mad, and we are scattered, doomed to die at the hands of those who seek to right our wrongs...{S}
 I would like a chance to atone for what I have done.{S}
 I could escape and seek penance at the Chantry.{S}
 I will find a way.{S}
 I swear I will do something good with my life.{S}
 I will do anything.{S}
 I do not want to die.{S}
 What should I do now?{S}
 Yes, I will pledge my life to your cause.{S}
 You know they will never take you.{S}
 They are very picky about who they let in.{S}
 The Chantry accepts all, regardless of what they have done.{S}
 What else can I do?{S}
 Nothing is worth what you have done to this place.{S}
 It would be like talking to a brick wall... a brick wall that would rather you did not exist in the first place.{S}
 The magic was a means to an end.{S}
 It gave us... it gave me the power to fight for what I believed.{S}
 Fighting for what you believe is commendable, but the ends do not always justify the means.{S}
 You do not really believe that do you Wynne?{S}
 Andraste waged war on the Imperium; she did not write them a strongly worded letter.{S}
 She reshaped civilization, freed the slaves, and gave us the Chantry.{S}
 Do not you remember what it was like living here?{S}
 Maker show you mercy, maleficar, for you will find none here.{S}
 The people you killed did not want to die either.{S}
 What you have done will make things worse for future mages.{S}
 You know we cannot allow blood mages to live.{S}
 How will you get out?{S}
 Do not make me regret this decision.{S}
 Your pleas do not move me.{S}
 I can always withdraw the offer if you would rather die.{S}
 You have power.{S}
 I have use for you.{S}
 Join the apprentices downstairs.{S}
 Do not say who you are.{S}
 Maybe so, but I need all the help I can get.{S}
 She deserves a chance to prove herself.{S}
 I know what I am doing.{S}
 I am sorry, but I do not know what I can do for you.{S}
 And all you do is wallow in self-pity.{S}
 You should have expressed your concerns to the Chantry.{S}
 Do you hear something, love?{S}
 I will get it.{S}
 The children have finished supper.{S}
 Do not be long, the children will want to kiss you goodnight.{S}
 I have given him what he always wanted.{S}
 No one else would have known his heart.{S}
 He did not know it himself.{S}
 You do not see what I see of him.{S}
 You do not know.{S}
 I give him what no one else can, and through him, I experience what it is to be mortal.{S}
 This I will do.{S}
 I vow to do no harm to you, nor those who travel with you.{S}
 He has gone through life empty, resentful of his vows.{S}
 If one perishes, so does the other.{S}
 Though much of my strength is spent maintaining this link, I am his wife, and his children; he will defend me to the death if need be.{S}
 I have what I need.{S}
 You have my thanks, if that means anything to you.{S}
 They will not get past me!{S}
 How long will you keep him in this stupor?{S}
 Apparently you can get your desire and still suffer horribly.{S}
 But it is normally caused by something real--real events, real people.{S}
 What you have done to him is... is abhorrent.{S}
 I command you to stop what you are doing to this man!{S}
 What in Andraste's name is going on here?{S}
 You have this templar ensorcelled, do not you?{S}
 How did you manage this?{S}
 I can not bring myself to destroy what you have done for him.{S}
 I do not think this is what he really wants.{S}
 So you think you are doing a good thing?{S}
 You have made him into your slave.{S}
 Let him go, or I will kill you.{S}
 I will leave you alone, if you do the same for me.{S}
 He deserves to be free from you, to find his own happiness.{S}
 Even if I do, the templars will come for you eventually.{S}
 I will let you live.{S}
 You are too dangerous to let live.{S}
 Fine, then do with him as you wish.{S}
 I must free him, even though it may mean his death.{S}
 What are we having tonight?{S}
 What have you learned, my son?{S}
 Mother has me practicing my penmanship.{S}
 Mother is teaching me to play the harp.{S}
 The children have gone to bed, my pet.{S}
 It will not work.{S}
 I have never seen anything like it.{S}
 He is been tortured... and has probably been denied food and water.{S}
 Filthy blood mages... getting in my head...{S}
 But that is always worked before.{S}
 I close my eyes, but you are still here when I open them.{S}
 Do not blame me for being cautious.{S}
 Did Greagoir send you?{S}
 How... how did you get here?{S}
 Kill them all for what they have done.{S}
 And... there was nothing I could do.{S}
 Do not think I am not grateful... but why should I live when my friends lie dead, their bodies and spirits broken?{S}
 Only mages have that much power at their fingertips.{S}
 Uldred has them.{S}
 He is doing something to them, I can feel it.{S}
 You do not know what they have become.{S}
 They have been surrounded b-by blood mages whose wicked fingers snake into your mind and corrupt your thoughts.{S}
 You have to end it, now, before it is too late.{S}
 He is suffered pain and anguish like few have had to endure.{S}
 That and his lust for revenge have confused the issue--{S}
 Do <emp>not</emp> presume to judge me, mage!{S}
 Then you are a fool who does not see to the heart of the situation.{S}
 Are you really saving anyone by taking this risk?{S}
 To ensure this horror is ended... to guarantee that no abominations or blood mages live, you must kill everyone up there.{S}
 That is your choice to make, but I beg you to consider what I have to say.{S}
 You understand what you must do.{S}
 I would help, but as you can see, I am in no position to do anything.{S}
 It must be done.{S}
 You do realize the fool is deranged, yes?{S}
 His mind has been twisted by hatred and jealousy.{S}
 But what can I do?{S}
 As you can see, I am in no position to directly influence your actions, though I would love to deal with the mages myself.{S}
 My cage is Uldred's doing... or one of his mages.{S}
 Once they are dead, I will be free.{S}
 Do not waste time on me... deal with Uldred, if that is what you plan to do.{S}
 Once he is dead, I will be freed.{S}
 Sometimes terrible things must be done to protect the greater good.{S}
 What good is done by killing the innocent?{S}
 I cannot let you harm them.{S}
 I knew you would make a rational decision.{S}
 Do you understand the danger?{S}
 Did a mage not start this?{S}
 I think you need a tall mug of ale to calm you down, lad.{S}
 I may need one myself, come to think...{S}
 Have we met before?{S}
 What do you know about the mages' evil, anyway?{S}
 You did not see what they did to the others.{S}
 Why have you returned to the tower?{S}
 How did you survive?{S}
 And look what they have done to it.{S}
 I am beyond caring what you think.{S}
 Sifting through my thoughts... tempting me with the one thing I always wanted but could never have...{S}
 Using my shame against me... my ill-advised infatuation with her... a mage, of all things.{S}
 Only too well... how far they must have delved into my thoughts...{S}
 You did it...{S}
 I feel almost sorry for them, but it had to be done.{S}
 I wanted to make sure things were all right.{S}
 We will have to start over, but there will always be mages, and the Circle will always be needed.{S}
 Greagoir will want to know that the situation has been resolved.{S}
 All right, but make it quick.{S}
 I do not like wasting time, and I do have injuries that need tending.{S}
 Please try to be quick.{S}
 Greagoir will be grateful for the help you have given us.{S}
 I am feeling better, now that I am free.{S}
 Those responsible have got--or will get--what they deserve.{S}
 I wanted to be a knight, but I never really thought about why we were needed.{S}
 Now, my eyes have been opened.{S}
 The naivete I once had is gone forever.{S}
 But I welcome the change as long as it helps me better serve the Chantry.{S}
 What will not work?{S}
 I have no time for these games.{S}
 Do not be foolish, we are not some kind of illusion.{S}
 I am a Grey Warden, and I am trying to help save the tower.{S}
 Uldred will pay for what he is done.{S}
 Your opinion does not count to me.{S}
 I have heard talk of others.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Then let us just hope it is not too late.{S}
 What do you propose we do?{S}
 We will come back for you after we deal with Uldred.{S}
 I could free you, and then you could help us.{S}
 I would prefer to keep you out of danger, anyway.{S}
 I do not fear maleficarum--they should fear me.{S}
 I will get rid of these pesky mages.{S}
 We do not know that they are all blood mages.{S}
 I do not want the blood of innocents on my hands.{S}
 It is not as bad as you make it out to be.{S}
 We will deal with you once Uldred lies dead.{S}
 Then you can not cause any trouble.{S}
 Perhaps I can free you.{S}
 Yes, everyone will be freed.{S}
 It is unfortunate that so many have to die for his mistakes.{S}
 And then I will also decide what to do with the others.{S}
 The Circle has gone bad.{S}
 Is it so surprising that I have returned?{S}
 Greagoir told me what happened; I knew I had to help.{S}
 Makes you wish you hadn't said those things, does not it?{S}
 I am sorry if I ever led you on.{S}
 It would never have worked.{S}
 Why does it cause you so much pain?{S}
 I do not think I should be hearing this.{S}
 Do not you recognize me?{S}
 I wish I could have saved them.{S}
 What are you doing up here?{S}
 I have had enough of this tower.{S}
 Very well, let us leave now.{S}
 Yes, let us leave now.{S}
 You have changed since I last saw you. <desc>This is Niall's dead body.</desc> <desc>You find a scroll tucked neatly into a pocket on the inside of Niall's robe.</desc> <desc>Leave Niall alone.</desc> <desc>Search the body for the Litany of Adralla.</desc>{S}
 You want to join us, do not you?{S}
 I feel like I have had a bellyful of warm meat and cool ale...{S}
 Some ridiculous ploy to get me to let down my guard?{S}
 Can not... keep eyes open.{S}
 You have no... power over me...{S}
 Why do you fight?{S}
 What do we have here?{S}
 An escaped slave? <desc>Laughs</desc> My, my... but you do have some gall.{S}
 You have to go back now and be good.{S}
 I could make it like the real world, if that is what you want.{S}
 I could keep you happy indefinitely.{S}
 Do you want that?{S}
 I made you happy and safe.{S}
 I gave you peace.{S}
 I did my best for you and you say you want to leave?{S}
 You have returned?{S}
 I can not have my subjects running about willy-nilly.{S}
 Who is that man and what have you done to him?{S}
 Good, that will make you that much easier to kill.{S}
 You can not keep me here.{S}
 I am not doing anything you tell me.{S}
 I will make my own happiness, thank you.{S}
 I do not want anything you offer.{S}
 I want to be free.{S}
 I will take my chances.{S}
 I will do nothing you say.{S}
 I got lost.{S}
 You should have guessed I would return to defeat you.{S}
 I think it is time for me to take you down.{S}
 I made no such agreement.{S}
 Let me go, or perish.{S}
 My friend, the Circle owes you its thanks.{S}
 I would not have thought our next meeting would be under such circumstances.{S}
 I have... ngh... been better.{S}
 I suppose that is your doing, is not it, Wynne?{S}
 I had help.{S}
 The Circle owes both of you a debt we will never be able to repay.{S}
 We shall let them know that the tower is once again ours.{S}
 I will need you to guide me down the stairs...{S}
 But I am glad you have returned.{S}
 Here we are, the tower in disarray, the Circle nearly annihilated... though it could have been much, much worse.{S}
 I am glad you arrived when you did.{S}
 From what Greagoir said, it seems that you came here seeking allies.{S}
 The least we can do is help you against the darkspawn.{S}
 We will do what we can for now, but if the Blight spreads, the tower itself will be lost.{S}
 Do not underestimate us.{S}
 You have my word, as first enchanter.{S}
 The Circle will join the Grey Wardens in the fight.{S}
 There is much to be done here, and I must go.{S}
 Irving, I have a request: I seek leave to follow the Grey Warden.{S}
 Wynne... we need you here.{S}
 The Circle needs you.{S}
 I appreciate the sentiment, Irving, but the Circle will do fine without me.{S}
 The Circle has you.{S}
 My offer still stands; you know where to find me should you require my assistance.{S}
 You were never one to stay in the tower when there was adventure to be had elsewhere.{S}
 Then I give you leave to follow the Grey Warden, but know that you always have a place here.{S}
 You have already done much for the Circle.{S}
 You have piqued my curiosity.{S}
 She will never be able to weave the simplest magic, no matter how hard she tries.{S}
 Knowledge should not be withheld from those who seek it.{S}
 Tell Dagna, of Orzammar, that this path will not be easy, but if she chooses it, then she is welcome here at the Circle.{S}
 I shall take this as an indication that perhaps things are starting to look up for the Circle.{S}
 You have done us proud.{S}
 Very well, lead on.{S}
 The Blight drove me here to seek aid.{S}
 So I have your word?{S}
 Do not you have to stay here?{S}
 Till we meet again.{S}
 I do not need you tagging along and nagging at me.{S}
 I think you are needed here and should stay.{S}
 I would be honored to have you join me, Wynne.{S}
 Forgive me, but I must take my leave.{S}
 Is there anything else I can do for you?{S}
 She is aware of this, but her interest has not waned.{S}
 I do not think she minds.{S}
 Do not disappoint her.{S}
 She is willing to give up caste and clan for this.{S}
 Perhaps, but it was her choice to make.{S}
 You will have an extra pair of hands to help rebuild.{S}
 Ah... look what we have here.{S}
 Care to join in our... revels?{S}
 But you just got here.{S}
 That does not help our relationship.{S}
 Yes, you understand, do not you?{S}
 I am freeing these people, too long shackled by the Circle.{S}
 I am giving them what they truly wanted all along.{S}
 Wait, wait, wait... let us not be hasty.{S}
 I am trying to have a civilized conversation here.{S}
 And freeing them in the process!{S}
 Your Chantry vilifies us, calls us abominations, when we have truly reached our full potential!{S}
 The Chantry has them convinced.{S}
 It is a beautiful gift you have given us.{S}
 It would be so much easier if they all simply accepted it and opened their hearts to me.{S}
 And what good did that do?{S}
 I even have the first enchanter on my side, do not I...{S}
 Stop him... he... is building an army.{S}
 And here I thought he was starting to turn.{S}
 He will serve me, eventually.{S}
 I serve <emp>no one</emp>.{S}
 I have plans for you.{S}
 Do you think I am going to let you wander around this tower, knowing you are a pawn of the templars?{S}
 No, but it served to bring the point across.{S}
 I cannot let you be, but killing you... such a waste.{S}
 I can do that--I can give you power, and a new life.{S}
 I do not think your opinion matters.{S}
 That is what I have decided, and that is what will be done.{S}
 It will just make my victory all the sweeter.{S}
 What have you done to him?!{S}
 Wait... what do we have here?{S}
 Do not mind the blood.{S}
 He is had a... hard day.{S}
 There is nothing glorious about what you have become, Uldred!{S}
 I could give you this gift, Wynne.{S}
 Ah... look what we have here.{S}
 Uldred did not think much of you then, and I certainly do not see your appeal now...{S}
 Stop what you are doing immediately!{S}
 I take it you are Uldred.{S}
 Those blood mages and abominations got what they deserved.{S}
 What exactly are you doing here?{S}
 This ends now!{S}
 I do not want this!{S}
 I do not converse with abominations.{S}
 This must not be allowed to continue.{S}
 What are you trying to accomplish by torturing these people?{S}
 You are trying to destroy their lives!{S}
 No, I think it is you who should serve me.{S}
 Did you have to use such a disgusting analogy?{S}
 You can certainly try to get rid of me.{S}
 That does not sound very appealing to me.{S}
 I am sorry, I can not let you do that.{S}
 I am still a Circle mage, and what you have done concerns me.{S}
 I have been close many times, but I never quite made it all the way.{S}
 You have been at Weisshaupt for some time now.{S}
 Do you like it here?{S}
 We need no longer fear the darkspawn.{S}
 It will stand as a testament to the time when the Grey Wardens were needed to fight the darkspawn.{S}
 We have eradicated the darkspawn, and the world is at peace.{S}
 And you played a part in the making of that history.{S}
 Do you not remember?{S}
 It was a triumph for all of us, bringing down the archdemon and setting the underground lairs ablaze.{S}
 I have learned to be tranquil.{S}
 And I suppose you know the Grey Wardens better than I do?{S}
 I have given you so much and you cast it back in my face.{S}
 Can you not be content with the peace I offer?{S}
 All we need do now is rest and take pride in what we have accomplished.{S}
 Have your war and your darkspawn!{S}
 I just wanted to make sure you were happy here, in Weisshaupt.{S}
 These grand halls were built by the first Grey Wardens.{S}
 I can not quite remember what I was doing.{S}
 Do you need something from me?{S}
 Why do not I have to fear then?{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 Do not we still have to fight?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Something does not seem right.{S}
 Then what shall the Grey Wardens do?{S}
 If the darkspawn are gone, then we are no longer needed.{S}
 I do not think you are Duncan.{S}
 I suppose I could try.{S}
 You offer complacency, not peace.{S}
 I have thought about it and something feels amiss.{S}
 Let him go.{S}
 You do not fool me, demon.{S}
 Why do not we just fight and get it over with?{S}
 I will not let this continue.{S}
 Then I suppose I will have to get rid of you.{S}
 Where did you come from?{S}
 Congratulations on getting out of that trap.{S}
 The demon traps everything that comes here in a dream it thinks they can not--or will not--try to leave.{S}
 I thought I would escaped, too, but I have been wandering these empty, grey spaces for a lifetime.{S}
 My name is Niall.{S}
 My name is Niall.{S}
 I was trying to save the Circle when I encountered the sloth demon.{S}
 I had just retrieved the Litany of Adralla.{S}
 They can get into your mind and take control of your body.{S}
 You can not stop what they make you do... but the Litany protects against that.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 They must have been practicing in secret, even teaching others.{S}
 I try to do something heroic for once in my life, and I get trapped by sloth.{S}
 My name is Niall, by the way.{S}
 I suppose we never had much to do with each other.{S}
 I know you, do not I?{S}
 Who would have thought you would end up here, with me?{S}
 Good job for getting out of that trap.{S}
 I do not want it to end like this.{S}
 Do you feel it?{S}
 It is getting so cold...{S}
 Demons have their own hierarchies.{S}
 They play their own games and mortals serve as... pawns, perhaps even bargaining chips.{S}
 The demon keeping us here probably rules this entire section of the Fade.{S}
 It will not let us go easily, if at all.{S}
 Nothing dampens your spirit, does it?{S}
 I do not know whether to admire or pity you.{S}
 Uldred made excuses but we were having none of it.{S}
 He panicked then, tried to leave...{S}
 Irving would not let him.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I do not believe we got to that part.{S}
 I was barely paying attention.{S}
 Some things make you sit up and pay attention.{S}
 Uldred let loose a bolt of energy that flung us all against the far wall.{S}
 It might have been a signal.{S}
 It was like they brought the wrath of the Maker Himself down upon our heads.{S}
 No, I do not.{S}
 I would never take that power, even if it were offered to me on a platter.{S}
 I was just getting to that.{S}
 Uldred must have also dabbled in demonology.{S}
 When the fighting started he tried to summon something... or some things.{S}
 Once I calmed down, I thought about what would happen if... that thing... got out.{S}
 Oh, have you?{S}
 I doubt you have seen anything like this before.{S}
 Uldred is a powerful mage, possessed by a mad thing that cares not a whit for human life.{S}
 The abomination you met cannot compare to him.{S}
 I thought if we disabled the others, we could throw everything we had at Uldred.{S}
 I know that it stops blood mages from taking over your mind.{S}
 I do not even know who, or what, Adralla is.{S}
 Let us just change the subject.{S}
 Every time you take a step you think: maybe this step will take me home... but you would be wrong.{S}
 I never expected you to free yourself, to free us both.{S}
 When you return... take the Litany of Adralla from my... body.{S}
 Do not be foolish.{S}
 This is not something to take chances with.{S}
 I have been here far too long.{S}
 For you it will have been an afternoon's nap.{S}
 Your body will not have wasted away in the real world while your spirit lay in the hands of a demon.{S}
 Every minute I was here, the sloth demon was feeding off of me, using my life to fuel the nightmares of this realm.{S}
 I do not fear what may come.{S}
 Take the Litany off my... my body, when you return.{S}
 Perhaps trying to be one was foolish.{S}
 Before I was taken to the Circle, my mother said I was meant for greatness, that I would be more than my ancestors could have ever dreamed.{S}
 The Circle is all that matters now.{S}
 Of course I did.{S}
 I was taken by surprise.{S}
 What were you doing before you were attacked?{S}
 Looks like you will not get to save the Circle.{S}
 You have the Litany of Adralla, do not you?{S}
 We will find a way out.{S}
 I do not remember you from my time here.{S}
 What do you know about the sloth demon?{S}
 If we work together we can escape.{S}
 Then I will have to defeat the demon.{S}
 It is worth a try.{S}
 What did Irving plan to do?{S}
 Did Uldred confess?{S}
 So are you sure you did not make a mistake?{S}
 When did the blood mages show up?{S}
 But how did the trouble start?{S}
 You know you want that power, do not you?{S}
 But the abominations, where did they come from?{S}
 What do you mean gone?{S}
 But I thought you were trying to save the Circle.{S}
 I have fought an abomination before.{S}
 What do you know about the Litany of Adralla?{S}
 I am sure I can do without it.{S}
 I do not have time to listen to you.{S}
 I will do this.{S}
 You did a lot to help the Circle.{S}
 It was a nice try, but you should've left it to the experts.{S}
 Ordinary people can do great things when they have to.{S}
 Are you done reminiscing?{S}
 You did not, Niall.{S}
 I do not want to d-die.{S}
 P-please, I do not want to die.{S}
 If... if you are sure it is safe, I could take a peek outside.{S}
 Oh, please do not hurt me.{S}
 Please do not... <act>Kick the door open.</act>{S}
 Come out here, or I will make you come out.{S}
 You do not have to be afraid of me.{S}
 I have dealt with them.{S}
 I see that the path that led you here was not easy.{S}
 Return when you are ready, and I shall open the way.{S}
 Take me to the Urn, or I will cut you down.{S}
 I see you have returned.{S}
 Do you still seek the Ashes?{S}
 You abandoned your father and mother, leaving them in the hands of Rendon Howe, knowing he would show no mercy.{S}
 Just open the door.{S}
 Tell me, pilgrim, did you fail them?{S}
 Tell me, pilgrim, did you fail Tamlen?{S}
 Do you think you failed Trian?{S}
 Tell me, pilgrim, did you fail Shianni?{S}
 By the time you reached Shianni, she was broken, brutalized.{S}
 You allowed yourself to be manipulated by Bhelen, and you murdered your elder brother, Trian.{S}
 Bhelen's machinations led to Trian's death and your exile.{S}
 You allowed this to happen.{S}
 He was almost killed, and he lost the one thing that mattered: Lily.{S}
 Jowan was discovered by the templars.{S}
 Tell me, do you think you failed Jowan?{S}
 Jowan brought it on himself by dabbling in blood magic.{S}
 I tried my best.{S}
 He should have known I would do the right thing.{S}
 Is there any religion that does not thrive upon guilt like a glutton at his lunch?{S}
 Accept your failings, but do not let them govern your life.{S}
 You could not have known what would happen.{S}
 You did what you thought was best.{S}
 Ah, everyone makes mistakes.{S}
 I say have an ale and let it go.{S}
 I should not have betrayed him.{S}
 There must have been something more I could have done.{S}
 Alistair, knight and Warden... you wonder if things would have been different if you were with Duncan on the battlefield.{S}
 And you... why do you say the Maker speaks to you, when all know that the Maker has left?{S}
 Do you believe yourself Her equal?{S}
 Then you do not dwell on past mistakes--neither yours, nor someone else's.{S}
 It is easy for others to judge what you have done, in hindsight, but it does not make it any better.{S}
 It is sometimes difficult to see how our actions affect an outcome, but that does not mean our actions had no effect.{S}
 Why bring it up and open old wounds?{S}
 I do not really know about these Guardian types, but I think the correct answer was yes?{S}
 For a moment there I thought you were going to go on a weepy tirade and try to "share" your feelings.{S}
 Now you have got me curious about how you really feel.{S}
 This question has nothing to do with our goal.{S}
 The way is open.{S}
 Good luck, and may you find what you seek.{S}
 You could have shielded him from the killing blow.{S}
 You wonder, do not you, if you should have died, and not him?{S}
 If Duncan had been saved, and not me, everything would be better.{S}
 If I would just had the chance, maybe...{S}
 I will not play your games.{S}
 Do you wonder if you spout only platitudes, burned into your mind in the distant past?{S}
 Perhaps you are only a tool used to spread the word of the Circle and the Chantry.{S}
 Does doubt ever chip away at your truths?{S}
 I do doubt at times.{S}
 It made you special.{S}
 You are saying I made it up, for... for the attention?{S}
 I did not!{S}
 Why do not I save you some time?{S}
 Yes, I wish I could have saved my family from Branka.{S}
 I wish I would been a better mate; maybe she would have stayed home with a bellyful of baby Oghren and never gone for the Anvil.{S}
 I have lost my caste and my house and I have nothing else to lose.{S}
 Many have died at your hand.{S}
 But is there any you regret more than a woman by the name of--{S}
 I do.{S}
 I know much; it is allowed to me.{S}
 Do you regret--{S}
 Have you failed your people, by allowing a qunari to be seen in that light?{S}
 I have never denied that I failed.{S}
 And with the awakening, the slow realization of all you have lost.{S}
 You have my respect.{S}
 I could have run faster, perhaps.{S}
 Yes, I should not have let her be taken in the first place.{S}
 We could've continued the search.{S}
 I could have pulled him away from that mirror.{S}
 No, the keeper was the one who gave up on him.{S}
 It was his own fault for touching strange things.{S}
 Do you think you failed your parents?{S}
 I should have known Bhelen would do that to us.{S}
 Trian deserved what he got.{S}
 I could not have known that was what Bhelen had planned.{S}
 I only wish I had killed Bhelen too.{S}
 I should have done more to get them out of there.{S}
 I should not have left.{S}
 I should have defended them to the death.{S}
 I should have insisted that my mother come with me.{S}
 They made me go.{S}
 I had to survive, to tell Fergus that we were betrayed.{S}
 Do not mean nothing...{S}
 You never really cared about us.{S}
 Haven't seen me for months and all you have to say is, "Hello, Leske?"{S}
 She wants to take me apart layer by layer.{S}
 Did not know I had that many layers.{S}
 Did I mention she is real upset about Beraht?{S}
 Hey, I did that today--ran from another bunch that Jarvia sent after me.{S}
 You know I had to leave.{S}
 I do not care what you are.{S}
 I will not play your game.{S}
 I know it is been playing on your mind, how you left us in the darkest muck-pit this side of the Deep Roads.{S}
 Do not want to be all mopey.{S}
 You can let go and forgive yourself.{S}
 You have to look forward.{S}
 Here, I found this lying around and I have no use for it.{S}
 I know you will do something good with it.{S}
 Do not you remember what you said?{S}
 You do not think you failed us.{S}
 You have forgotten us.{S}
 They say the Maker knows your heart, no matter how much you try to hide it.{S}
 You may discover new things about yourself.{S}
 Why do you torment me with this vision?{S}
 You know that I am gone, and all your prayers and wishes will not bring me back.{S}
 I know you miss me, but my death, and my life, no longer have a hold on you.{S}
 I see the pain and anger you carry.{S}
 I know you fear to give it voice, but rest assured, my child, the Maker knows your heart.{S}
 Take the pain and the guilt, acknowledge it,and let go.{S}
 You have such a long road ahead of you, and you must be prepared.{S}
 I know you will do great things with it.{S}
 Now go, carry with you my love and my forgiveness, pup.{S}
 Take the pain and the guilt, acknowledge it, and let go.{S}
 Set your eyes on the horizon, do not look back, and do not falter.{S}
 Uldred has been destroyed, and the surviving mages have been taken into questioning.{S}
 The damage done by the blood mages, abominations, and demons will take years to repair, but that can wait, as there are more dangerous threats on the horizon.{S}
 The templars promised to join you in your fight against the Blight.{S}
 The Circle has been saved, thanks to you.{S}
 While there is much rebuilding to be done, First Enchanter Irving has promised you the Circle's aid in the coming battle. <emp>Destroy the corrupted Circle</emp>{S}
 You met a rather stubborn old mage who refused to let you into the tower.{S}
 You dealt with her, and the barrier she had erected to stop your progress is now gone.{S}
 Your goal remains the same: Destroy all hostile, dangerous creatures in the tower so that the templars are free to join your army. <emp>Investigate the Circle Tower</emp>{S}
 You met a stubborn old mage, Wynne, who insisted that there were innocents within who could be saved.{S}
 Wynne has joined with you in the hopes that she can still save the Circle.{S}
 Had fun with the riddle game?{S}
 I did not think I would fool you.{S}
 Honestly, I do not know.{S}
 To speak to you, and to offer advice.{S}
 You have wondered, many times, if what happened to me was your doing.{S}
 Perhaps things would be different if you had not gone to Irving.{S}
 But it is too easy to obsess over "what if" and "what could have been."{S}
 These thoughts will eat away at you, if you let them.{S}
 Forgive yourself, just as I have forgiven you.{S}
 Perhaps if we had taken another route, or we would been more prepared, things would be different.{S}
 You have come so far since I saw you last.{S}
 The last vestiges of your shackled life in the Circle have all but fallen away.{S}
 But they do speak plainly.{S}
 Are you trying to make me feel guilt over what happened?{S}
 You are here to bring up the past, are not you?{S}
 I have something for you.{S}
 Use it well.{S}
 It makes me happy, knowing you will be the mage that I never could.{S}
 You are free of the past, and nothing will hold you back.{S}
 Do not falter.{S}
 Is it so bad to admit that mistakes were made, by both of us?{S}
 Do you remember us, where you came from, and what some of us still face every day?{S}
 Yes, I do, Shianni.{S}
 Using guilt on me?{S}
 I wish I could free you all.{S}
 You have a great task to complete.{S}
 I want you to take this.{S}
 I think you should have it.{S}
 Seeing you now gives me hope... for all of us.{S}
 You do not even feel much anymore when you remember it, do you?{S}
 You have moved on, past the horror of that night.{S}
 You have gone on to other things, things I can only dream of.{S}
 Thank you, but that will take time, more time than you can spare.{S}
 Some things are learned only when you find them for yourself.{S}
 Still, you have come far.{S}
 Do you feel it?{S}
 The chill eats at my bones.{S}
 Do you feel it?{S}
 The chill eats at my bones.{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 I do not feel the cold.{S}
 I wish I could have told Tamlen that I tried to find him.{S}
 Some things lost can never be found, some mistakes never unmade.{S}
 You have suffered enough, thinking that you could have done something.{S}
 What happened in those ruins holds no power over you.{S}
 You have accepted it, and moved on.{S}
 You have remained strong, just like our ancestors--determined to forge their own path.{S}
 Take this.{S}
 It is nothing compared to the crafts of our fathers, but it should serve you well.{S}
 We will not meet again.{S}
 Do you still dwell in the past?{S}
 Do you even know the answer?{S}
 You have been cast out to walk the surface, whereas I... hmph...{S}
 You allowed Bhelen to make you his lackey.{S}
 Are you proud of what you have done?{S}
 Bhelen made fools of us both.{S}
 However, I find it hard for me to remain... unbiased in this regard.{S}
 I know it has been hard for you.{S}
 Let the past stay in the past.{S}
 Let the past stay in the past.{S}
 But the betrayals of Orzammar do not weigh down your steps.{S}
 You have not faltered, and I am proud of you.{S}
 I do not have to answer you.{S}
 Are you trying to make me regret my actions, spirit?{S}
 The one you have seen in your dreams these past months.{S}
 Take this, and use it well.{S}
 I give you this... and my blessing.{S}
 Nay, you have made your feelings clear on the matter.{S}
 I am sorry for what I did.{S}
 I should never have trusted Bhelen.{S}
 Do you feel nothing about your eldest brother's betrayal and death?{S}
 You have a long path ahead of you.{S}
 I hope you will be ready. <emp>Use the Litany of Adralla to save the Circle</emp>{S}
 You took the Litany of Adralla from Niall's body.{S}
 The Litany will make it much easier for you to battle Uldred and his mages.{S}
 They loved Her, as did the Maker.{S}
 The debt of blood must be paid in full.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 My husband, Hessarian, would have chosen a quick death for Andraste.{S}
 I made him swear that She would die publicly, with Her warleaders, that all would know the Imperium's strength.{S}
 The darkspawn horde is too dangerous for you to be playing hero on the front lines.{S}
 If that is the case, perhaps we should wait for the Orlesian forces to join us, after all.{S}
 I must repeat my protest to your fool notion that we need the Orlesians to defend ourselves!{S}
 And this is the recruit I met earlier on the road?{S}
 Every Grey Warden is needed now.{S}
 You should be honored to join their ranks.{S}
 I suppose none of us do.{S}
 But every Grey Warden is needed.{S}
 Every Grey Warden is needed now more than ever.{S}
 I have a few men stationed there.{S}
 Send Alistair and the new Grey Warden to make sure it is done.{S}
 We need the beacon.{S}
 I did not have a choice, really.{S}
 I do not feel that special.{S}
 If it is not dangerous, I can do it myself.{S}
 I will do my best, your Majesty.{S}
 Of what do I speak?{S}
 The Duncan you met was a demon is disguise.{S}
 You are in the Fade, the realm of dreams, and you must find your way out.{S}
 I could not bear the sight of Andraste's suffering, and mercy bade me end Her life.{S}
 No man has seen it but all men know it.{S}
 Yes, hunger was the weapon used against the wicked men of the Tevinter Imperium.{S}
 Then He opened the heavens and bade the waters flow, and washed away their filth.{S}
 I saw these things done, and knew the Maker smiled on us.{S}
 I carried Andraste's Ashes out of Tevinter into the mountains to the east where She could gaze ever into Her Maker's sky...{S}
 No more fitting a tomb than this could we find.{S}
 Sheep. <emp>Find the Litany of Adralla</emp>{S}
 Wynne has told you about the Litany of Adralla, a spell that wards off the mind domination powers of blood mages.{S}
 Owain, the Tranquil who runs the stockroom, mentioned that Niall took the Litany of Adralla.{S}
 Find Niall and the Litany.{S}
 The sloth demon has been defeated.{S}
 Niall did not come with you.{S}
 His last request was that you take the Litany of Adralla and defeat Uldred at the top of the tower.{S}
 Armed and armored you have tried to approach Andraste.{S}
 Why have you committed this act of defiance?{S}
 Something terrible has happened.{S}
 The Circle Tower has been overrun by abominations and demons, and is in no shape to help the Grey Wardens battle the Blight.{S}
 Knight-Commander Greagoir intends to use the Right of Annulment on the Circle, and has locked the great doors of the tower until reinforcements arrive.{S}
 However, he has promised you the aid of the templars if you can deal with the Circle.{S}
 Destroy all hostile, dangerous creatures in the tower so that the templars are free to join your army.{S}
 I do not see why I need to leave my belongings.{S}
 He cares not for the privilege granted by birth.{S}
 Something terrible has happened.{S}
 The Circle Tower has been overrun by abominations and demons.{S}
 Knight-Commander Greagoir intends to use the Right of Annulment on the Circle, but is waiting for reinforcements to arrive from Denerim.{S}
 In the meantime, he has locked the great doors of the tower, so that none of the abominations may escape.{S}
 One can only find spiritual truth by casting aside earthly possessions, and seeing them for the deceptions they are.{S}
 After making your way through the Circle Tower and destroying Uldred, you revealed yourself as a blood mage and killed every member of the Circle.{S}
 No one from the Tower of Magi will be joining you in the battle to come.{S}
 You have passed through the flame; there is no going back.{S}
 You have shown that you are not worthy of the Ashes.{S}
 May the Maker take you into His arms, and forgive you.{S}
 You have been through the trials of the Gauntlet; you have walked the path of Andraste, and like Her, you have been cleansed.{S}
 You have proven yourself worthy, pilgrim.{S}
 Well, can I go back and take it off?{S}
 You have your head in the clouds, do not you?{S}
 I have heard enough of your rhetoric.{S}
 Already the weight of the past seems to have lifted off the mountain.{S}
 What you have done here will change the world forever.{S}
 You do?{S}
 Keep it.{S}
 The Ashes do have healing qualities, I am told.{S}
 I did what I could.{S}
 I hope it was the right thing to do.{S}
 I have some of the Ashes with me still.{S}
 Do you question your purpose?{S}
 I will do this.{S}
 I think I have changed my mind.{S}
 After all you have done you would turn on us?{S}
 We would have welcomed you; you would have been second only to Andraste Herself!{S}
 If you seek death, then I will gladly give it to you.{S}
 What will happen after I do this?{S}
 Give it to me.{S}
 I do not think I want that.{S}
 I do not think I can do that, or let you live.{S}
 There is nothing else I can give you, save this staff.{S}
 It is nothing compared to what you have done for us.{S}
 Give it to me.{S}
 I do not want to drink the blood.{S}
 I guess it will do.{S}
 Ah, our champion has returned.{S}
 Is there anything I can do for you?{S}
 Do you feel any... differently?{S}
 Memories, a comprehension of things you did not know before.{S}
 That is the nature of dragon blood; it is flame given life.{S}
 Even if you leave, you will take us with you.{S}
 It was the sin of the Imperium that brought them into this world.{S}
 Let them come and scourge the land to pave the way for the risen Andraste.{S}
 And when there is nothing left to destroy, we will emerge and build a new kingdom in Her name!{S}
 How do you feel about fighting darkspawn?{S}
 After we have bestowed upon you the power granted by the Prophet?{S}
 I have decided all of you are too dangerous to let live.{S}
 The havoc you wrought here is forgiven, but the damage to our home remains and must be repaired.{S}
 I stood by while you... did that thing with the Ashes, but they are just ashes.{S}
 They say you are what you eat...{S}
 Usually, I would jump at trying a new drink, but...{S}
 I do not know...{S}
 Appreciate this gift. <desc>Before destroying the Ashes, you gather up some of it and place it in a small leather pouch.</desc> <desc>You uncork the vial of dragon blood, and empty it into the Urn.</desc> <desc>You take a pinch of the Ashes, and place it in a leather pouch.</desc> <act>Pour the dragon's blood into the Urn.</act> <act>Take a pinch of the Ashes.</act> <act>Leave the Urn alone.</act> <desc>You stand before the Urn of Sacred Ashes.</desc>{S}
 What have you done?!{S}
 Oh, I do not like this.{S}
 Be warned--he means to lead you astray.{S}
 Did you find it?{S}
 I found it, and I destroyed it.{S}
 Kolgrim offered me power.{S}
 You did this for those... heretics.{S}
 They have defiled the temple... they...{S}
 I should never have led you here...{S}
 And... and pilgrims should be allowed to come to the Urn.{S}
 You found the Urn, did not you?{S}
 It must have changed you.{S}
 Nothing has touched me quite so deeply.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 What do you mean gone?{S}
 They... they will pay for this.{S}
 The villagers have destroyed the Urn.{S}
 We should keep this secret to ourselves.{S}
 Many will try to exploit this discovery.{S}
 I have some other business to attend to here.{S}
 I have much to do.{S}
 If you ever find yourself in Denerim, please visit me.{S}
 I am not a rich man, but I have a small collection of... interesting artifacts, and I do owe you a reward for coming to my rescue.{S}
 I will spread this good news, or die trying.{S}
 I had not expected to see you so soon.{S}
 I have written to the Chantry, telling them of your adventures.{S}
 They are interested in having me lead an expedition!{S}
 What do you think of that?{S}
 You made this all possible.{S}
 I could never thank you quite enough, but I am certainly going to try.{S}
 Here, take this reward.{S}
 I want you to have it.{S}
 It will certainly do more good in your hands than lying around in this dusty house, eh?{S}
 Do forgive this old man.{S}
 And now if you will excuse me, I have so much to prepare for.{S}
 I can not wait to get going!{S}
 I just do.{S}
 I do not know anything!{S}
 It was my dream for the people to have a home of their own, where we would have no masters but ourselves.{S}
 The smallest lark could carry it, while a strong man might not.{S}
 It seems that your father's errand was just a ruse to get his family together one last time before he left for battle.{S}
 He and your mother joined you, Fergus, and Fergus's family upstairs.{S}
 Your Highness, I did not mean for this Proving to disappoint you so.{S}
 Do not let it happen again.{S}
 Duncan has recruited you to the Grey Wardens; you must leave your family behind to their fates.{S}
 I did not see that, I swear.{S}
 Can I take a look at your wares?{S}
 Tamlen was drawn to it and touched it.{S}
 You insult the very nature of this Proving.{S}
 Your betrothed, Nelaros, died trying to rescue you from the clutches of Vaughans men.{S}
 - Character Set Up{S}
 Shianni has woken you up and told you that your betrothed has arrived, sooner than expected.{S}
 Your wedding has been moved to today.{S}
 Not only that, it is to be a double wedding--your cousin Soris is getting married too!{S}
 There will certainly be consequences for this, but first you should make sure that Shianni is all right.{S}
 You found Brother Genitivi.{S}
 You found the Urn of Sacred Ashes, which had been lost for generations.{S}
 The Urn is said to contain the ashes of the prophet Andraste, the Maker's chosen.{S}
 The disciples have rewarded you for your service to their beloved goddess.{S}
 The guardian of the Ashes, his power tied to the Urn itself, has been weakened.{S}
 Kolgrim has asked you to enter the temple's inner sanctum--where the Urn resides--and pour a vial of the dragon's blood into the Ashes, allowing the new "Andraste" to reclaim the power held in them.{S}
 To reach the Urn of Sacred Ashes, you need to undergo a test of faith.{S}
 If you survive, you will have proven yourself worthy.{S}
 The gauntlet is now open to you.{S}
 You have angered the guardian of the Urn of Sacred Ashes and failed the tests of faith left in the path of pilgrims seeking Andrastes remains.{S}
 You have proven yourself worthy, and can now enter into the presence of the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 So you have finally decided to rejoin us, have you?{S}
 Falling on your blade in grief seemed like too much trouble, I take it?{S}
 Have you never lost someone important to you?{S}
 Just what would you do if your mother died?{S}
 Oh, I get it.{S}
 This is the part where we are shocked to discover how you have never had a friend your entire life.{S}
 Alas, desiring to be more intelligent does not make it so.{S}
 The treaties, the ones we got from Flemeth.{S}
 With these we will be able to ask for assistance, maybe even raise an army.{S}
 There are three main groups that we have treaties for: the Dalish elves, the dwarves of Orzammar, and the Circle of Magi.{S}
 I also still think that Arl Eamon is our best bet for help.{S}
 Well, we will need to decide eventually.{S}
 Let us head into the village when you are ready.{S}
 Let us head into the village whenever you are ready.{S}
 I am not sure I like any of it, either, but we do not have a lot of choice in the matter.{S}
 Of course you have a choice.{S}
 Let the darkspawn do as they wish until other Grey Wardens come.{S}
 We all choose our path, even when it seems there is only one direction we should go.{S}
 Find this man, Loghain, and kill him.{S}
 The rest of this business with the treaties can then be done in safety.{S}
 And it is not like he has the advantage of an army and experience and--{S}
 I was asked for my opinion and I gave it.{S}
 If your wish is to come up with reasons why something cannot be done, we will stand here until the darkspawn are upon us.{S}
 Well, <emp>I</emp> do not know where we should go.{S}
 I will do whatever you decide.{S}
 Arl Eamon is a good man, but I do not know for sure he is where we should go.{S}
 Short of leaving Ferelden to seek them out, the only place to send word to would be Weisshaupt Fortress, and that is thousands of miles away.{S}
 I can give you directions, if you like.{S}
 Then you have a plan?{S}
 We can go to Denerim, but somehow I suspect that they are not going to let us just walk around.{S}
 We do not know that the Chantry will not support us, of course.{S}
 If we speak to the First Enchanter, he should see that his responsibility to the Grey Wardens supercedes anything the Chantry... or even Teyrn Loghain... might have to say about it.{S}
 You are going to have to.{S}
 I mean we will not have any choice.{S}
 You will be there under Grey Warden business, and the dwarves will just have to see reason.{S}
 You do not know where Orzammar is?{S}
 She does not know how to find it on the surface, fool.{S}
 She has never been here before.{S}
 He does not know how to find it on the surface, fool.{S}
 He has never been here before.{S}
 We would need to speak to their king in Orzammar.{S}
 No wonder it took so long, then.{S}
 He certainly has been contemplating it for long enough.{S}
 I think we need to talk.{S}
 I know you were not one for very long before Duncan and the rest were all killed, but that did not mean you stopped being one.{S}
 Duncan would have been disgusted.{S}
 Do you care what anyone thinks?{S}
 Not unless they can do something for you, I am sure.{S}
 How dare you be put in a position where you might actually have to live up to their legacy!{S}
 Fat lot of good that would do me, would not it?{S}
 And because of that I have to stand by and watch you disgrace everything I hold dear?{S}
 I look at you and I see someone who does not care about the duty they have, nor the incredible honor they have been given!{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Maybe I am being too hard on you, but it only seems like you are out for yourself, that you do not even care about this incredibly important duty we have as Grey Wardens.{S}
 Do you?{S}
 It does not seem like it would be that hard to do better.{S}
 And if it is, I would have to wonder why.{S}
 Most people are capable of decency without needing practice.{S}
 I would be happy if I thought you cared about anyone other than yourself.{S}
 With a Grey Warden like you, who needs darkspawn?{S}
 Do not do me any favors.{S}
 You could just be saying that for my benefit, too, I do not know.{S}
 I guess there is not much I can do, as long as you are still fighting the Blight.{S}
 Maker forbid that you were needed to do something for someone besides yourself.{S}
 Has it occurred to you that you might be part of something larger?!{S}
 That the Grey Wardens might be a tradition worthy of upholding, even if you do not care about all the lives you are saving?!{S}
 I wish you would had time to spend with Duncan, and the rest of them.{S}
 Mind you, I am not sure you are the sort of person who would have liked it.{S}
 I guess I will have to be satisfied with you actually helping to stop the Blight, will not I?{S}
 I can not do it on my own.{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 I do not want to talk to you any more.{S}
 I do not think you are a good enough person to suit anyone.{S}
 Duncan must have truly been desperate when he chose you.{S}
 Or blind, take your pick.{S}
 With a Grey Warden like you, who needs darkspawn?{S}
 I do not know if I should be surprised by that or not.{S}
 It is not as if you had any time to learn how to be one... but your instincts tell me you never would have, anyhow.{S}
 I am sorry, did you think I was deaf as well as blind?{S}
 You think I do not know what you have been up to?{S}
 Give me some credit.{S}
 I am not getting out of your way.{S}
 Well here is a shocker for you: I do not care.{S}
 I guess I really do not know how to ask you this.{S}
 Yes, I know that... there is a great deal to do.{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 You just do... whatever you were planning.{S}
 Oh, how do I say this?{S}
 Here is the thing: being near you makes me crazy, but I can not imagine being without you.{S}
 I do not know how to say this another way.{S}
 I want to spend the night with you.{S}
 Maybe this is too fast, I do not know, but...{S}
 If things were, we would not even have met.{S}
 We sort of... stumbled into each other, and despite this being the least perfect time, I still found myself falling for you in between all the fighting and everything else.{S}
 I really do not want to wait anymore.{S}
 I have...{S}
 I have never done this before.{S}
 I want it to be with you... while we have the chance.{S}
 I do not want this to come between us.{S}
 You have to know how much I am looking forward to <emp>that</emp> idea. <desc>Sigh</desc> If I do become king, I do not know what that will mean for the two of us.{S}
 You do not know that.{S}
 I do not know that.{S}
 Did that do it?{S}
 Yes, maybe it did.{S}
 I do not mean it like <emp>that</emp>.{S}
 I mean... all right, let me start over.{S}
 You went out of your way to save the arl's family and you did it, even though it would have been easier not to.{S}
 There is been so much death and destruction, it... well, it makes me feel good that at least we were able to save something, no matter how small.{S}
 I owed the arl that much.{S}
 Now that the warm, fuzzy part of the day is over with we can get back to the ritual dismemberments.{S}
 It needed to be said.{S}
 I thought it needed to be said.{S}
 You let Lady Isolde sacrifice herself?{S}
 How could you do that?{S}
 You do not see the problem?{S}
 Of all things to use, we call on blood magic?{S}
 There must have been some other way!{S}
 What do you think he will say when we revive him?{S}
 But there must have been another way!{S}
 But there must have been another way!{S}
 Something that did not involve using blood magic, of all things!{S}
 We could have gone to the Circle of Magi!{S}
 W-we could have tried harder!{S}
 We should have tried something that did not involve blood magic, that is for sure!{S}
 How could you do that?{S}
 I am not saying you did.{S}
 But there must have been something else that you could have done.{S}
 Anything that did not involve killing a child!{S}
 You could have let the arlessa sacrifice herself.{S}
 Lady Isolde is the one who started all of it, is not she?{S}
 Blood magic or no, if one of them had to die it should have been her.{S}
 No, I did not miss that.{S}
 But if magic put that thing in him, how do you know magic could not have taken it out?{S}
 There must have been some other way!{S}
 But there must have been something that could have been done.{S}
 Something that did not involve killing a child!{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 There must have been some other way that did not involve killing a child!{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 With all that blood on her hands, maybe you should have let her sacrifice herself.{S}
 What do you think he will say when we revive him?{S}
 I just do not know how you could do it, how you could make that decision.{S}
 I owe the arl more than this.{S}
 You are probably right, I just would have screwed it up like I do everything else.{S}
 But at least I would have cared.{S}
 I do not want to say any more.{S}
 I have said too much as it is.{S}
 We have still got plenty to do and we should do it.{S}
 I do not know why I should have expected any different.{S}
 You do not care about anything, do you?{S}
 You do not care what anyone thinks.{S}
 And I will just have to accept that, will not I?{S}
 Do not do anything, it is done.{S}
 I would not... at least you care.{S}
 That will have to be enough.{S}
 Did you?{S}
 I guess I really have no choice but to just accept that.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I suppose it is done, is not it?{S}
 And it will have to be enough.{S}
 Ahhh, why am I getting on your back about it?{S}
 You did what you had to.{S}
 Let us just stop there before I do more than shove my foot in my mouth like an idiot.{S}
 It is easy to question, when you are not the one making the decisions... and I have let you do just that, haven't I?{S}
 I get it.{S}
 I get it.{S}
 I know Arl Eamon does not hold you responsible, but he is a good man who had a lot to absorb all at once.{S}
 You and I both know you could have done something else!{S}
 Because I do not agree that it was necessary.{S}
 I just do not know how you could do it, how you could make that decision.{S}
 I owe the arl more than this.{S}
 I just do not know how you could do it, how you could make that decision.{S}
 I owe the arl more than this.{S}
 Do you think she would have killed him if she did not think you would have done it yourself?{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 I have had some time to think about it now.{S}
 Just get to the point.{S}
 Yes, I have.{S}
 What do you think we should do, Morrigan?{S}
 Then we need to find these people.{S}
 I do not need any more directions.{S}
 Will not the Circle of Magi do what the Chantry says?{S}
 Where do we find the Circle of Magi?{S}
 I have been exiled from Orzammar.{S}
 How do we get to Orzammar from here, exactly?{S}
 Where do we find the dwarves?{S}
 My clan has already fled north.{S}
 We will not find them.{S}
 Where will we find the Dalish elves?{S}
 Where do we find Arl Eamon?{S}
 You have been very quiet, Alistair.{S}
 What did you want to talk about, Alistair?{S}
 I do not care what you think.{S}
 We can work this out, can not we?{S}
 I am doing the best I can, Alistair.{S}
 I care about my duty.{S}
 I do not care about you.{S}
 I will try to do better.{S}
 I never asked for any of this, did I?{S}
 I haven't had time to think about it.{S}
 Not that you would put it all on me or anything.{S}
 Sucks to be you, does not it?{S}
 Who said I did not care about saving lives?{S}
 The Grey Wardens do what is needed--not what is nice.{S}
 Get out of my way, Alistair.{S}
 I do not think I like your tone.{S}
 I do not want to do this.{S}
 Do not worry about it, silly.{S}
 I do not feel right about us.{S}
 This needs to end.{S}
 Let us deal with the Blight, first.{S}
 No need to say anything else.{S}
 Do not talk like that.{S}
 You want to spend the night?{S}
 I did not do it to please you.{S}
 I do not see the problem.{S}
 There was no time to try the Circle of Magi.{S}
 You think I should have killed the little boy, instead?{S}
 I did not enjoy it, Alistair.{S}
 I did not have a lot of choice.{S}
 And what else could have been done?{S}
 Are you saying I should have used blood magic?{S}
 You could have done no better.{S}
 Deal with it.{S}
 I do not really care what you think.{S}
 A decision had to be made.{S}
 I made it.{S}
 What do you want me to do?{S}
 I honestly did the best I could, Alistair.{S}
 Tell someone who cares.{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 I do not really care what he says.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 What is done is done.{S}
 I do not know that at all.{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 I do not want to discuss it right now.{S}
 We could all use some, no?{S}
 If you do not mind my asking...{S}
 I hear talk of someone giving those bastards outside the village what they deserved.{S}
 It would be nice to thank whoever did it, that is all.{S}
 Someone should teach those thieves a lesson.{S}
 I hear <emp>someone</emp> gave them what they deserved.{S}
 They were looking for someone& before they started drinking.{S}
 I hear they almost killed a man because they did not like his face.{S}
 The tavern keeper's letting folks sleep on the floors, but he can only fit so many.{S}
 And those soldiers are getting restless.{S}
 Those curs got what they deserved!{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 Then... what shall we do?{S}
 We must try to go north, somehow...{S}
 But... there is nothing we can do!{S}
 We can not give up!{S}
 What are we supposed to do?{S}
 Tell us what to do!{S}
 It is... it is worth a try...{S}
 I could not care less.{S}
 Get out of here, all of you!{S}
 Get moving!{S}
 Do all humans give up so easily?{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 Give me your valuables, and your sorry lives may be spared.{S}
 I have nothing to say to you.{S}
 I have never met a mage.{S}
 Dangerous for you to be out in the open, no?{S}
 We have another traveler to attend to... a loner, by the looks of it.{S}
 We have another traveler to attend to... a lone elf, this time.{S}
 We have another traveler to attend to... and a pretty one, at that.{S}
 We have another traveler to attend to... a dwarf, this time.{S}
 Err... he do not look much like them others.{S}
 Maybe we should let this one pass.{S}
 Err... she do not look much like them others, you know.{S}
 Maybe we should just let this one pass.{S}
 Err... they do not look much like them others, you know.{S}
 Uh... maybe we should just let these ones pass...{S}
 I imagine you are eager to get to the village.{S}
 For a simple toll of ten silvers, we will let you on your way.{S}
 You came up with that a little too easily, if I do say so myself.{S}
 You did just say so yourself.{S}
 If all our customers were so civilized, they would not end up like our dreary knight, here.{S}
 Let the nice fellow by.{S}
 Do enjoy your stay in Lothering.{S}
 Let the nice lady by.{S}
 Do enjoy your stay in Lothering.{S}
 Let us finish this, gents!{S}
 And if I do not believe you?{S}
 How do we solve this predicament?{S}
 I do not want to be a toad!{S}
 Let us finish this, gents!{S}
 But... we will, ah... let the toll go.{S}
 Do not turn me into a toad!{S}
 Do enjoy your stay in Lothering.{S}
 Did she say she is a Grey Warden?{S}
 Teyrn Loghain put quite a bounty on any who are found.{S}
 What do you say, gents?{S}
 Let us be heroes to the kingdom!{S}
 You have a point.{S}
 Well, let us forget about the toll.{S}
 You do not say?{S}
 Well, given that you killed the king, I am betting your charity days are done.{S}
 So, why do not you just go on?{S}
 That is all we have... collected today.{S}
 Then take it.{S}
 Err... do enjoy your stay in Lothering and all that.{S}
 And just when we had things settled...{S}
 Do enjoy your stay in Lothering.{S}
 Did he say he is a Grey Warden?{S}
 Let us finish this, gents!{S}
 We have rules, you know.{S}
 We get to ransack your corpse, then.{S}
 Those are the rules.{S}
 You want to pay more?{S}
 So we will let you pass for a bigger score?{S}
 I do believe we are the morons in this scenario.{S}
 But... if a caravan's coming, should not we set up an ambush?{S}
 You--just pay the blasted toll and then go pray for protection or whatever you are here for.{S}
 A whole caravan, ripe for the picking!{S}
 Not much gets past you, I see.{S}
 Do shut up!{S}
 Even a genlock would have understood that.{S}
 What did I tell you?{S}
 Even if you are no refugee, you still gotta pay.{S}
 They are fools to get in our way.{S}
 I say teach them a lesson.{S}
 A simple ten silvers and you are free to move on.{S}
 Led by an elf, of all things.{S}
 Led by a dwarf, oddly enough.{S}
 You know, I am beginning to think your caravan is not coming at all.{S}
 Maybe... maybe it is just made up!{S}
 Of course it is made up!{S}
 You owe us twenty silvers to compensate for my annoyance!{S}
 We have no magic here, you know, nothing of interest...{S}
 Well, enjoy... whatever you are doing.{S}
 We are not inclined to give up our spot just yet, right gents?{S}
 These refugee types are ripe for the picking.{S}
 Well... we do not want trouble, so... yes, we will do that.{S}
 Let us finish this, gents!{S}
 Let us collect that bounty, then!{S}
 Life's hard all over now, and we get by how we can.{S}
 First thing he is doing as regent is putting a bounty on Grey Wardens.{S}
 Do have fun.{S}
 So, you pay our toll and <emp>now</emp> get a backbone?{S}
 Well, I would like a nip of whatever you have been drinking.{S}
 Gents, let us set another example for the locals.{S}
 Well that is a shame, because we do not want to give it to you.{S}
 What do I look like?{S}
 We-we-we are just trying to get by, before the darkspawn get us all!{S}
 The darkspawn can have this place!{S}
 The rest is in the chests we brought!{S}
 Well then, let me go!{S}
 A group of wounded ash warriors came by earlier... got right out of their way.{S}
 The bann took his men north with Teyrn Loghain, so there is no one looking out for it except a few templars at the chantry.{S}
 I was just trying to feed my family, you know?{S}
 We try not to hurt anyone too much...{S}
 Just let me by.{S}
 I was playing nice, but now you are just greedy.{S}
 I do not have that kind of coin.{S}
 Just let me by.{S}
 Do you really want to fight a mage?{S}
 Do you really want to fight a Grey Warden?{S}
 You know, the Grey Wardens could use a donation.{S}
 Just get out of my way.{S}
 I have changed my mind. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 Actually, let us add bandit-slaying to that list...{S}
 I am not paying.{S}
 You can certainly try.{S}
 I am not paying you thugs anything.{S}
 It has plenty of gold.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 What news have you heard?{S}
 You and your men need to leave.{S}
 I could do better.{S}
 You picked the wrong target.{S}
 Get by?{S}
 Then start running.{S}
 And do not come back.{S}
 Hand over everything you have stolen.{S}
 You will follow my lead.{S}
 I could use some soldiers.{S}
 They will do what they must.{S}
 I am done asking questions.{S}
 Have you heard about any survivors from the battle?{S}
 What exactly have you been doing?{S}
 I saw you take the supplies from my cart!{S}
 People here are already desperate and frightened--they do not need you two coming to blows!{S}
 You do not seem a refugee.{S}
 We fought the darkspawn in the Wilds, but we never had a chance.{S}
 How do you live without the forest all around?{S}
 Better to slit their throats now than let them suffer at darkspawn hands!{S}
 I have seen them!{S}
 There is nothing to do!{S}
 Do not touch me!{S}
 You bring evil and destruction!{S}
 It is the end!{S}
 But the monsters will take you all!{S}
 She... had hair the same color as yours.{S}
 I should not have come.{S}
 I have no urge to try out that axe of his.{S}
 We will be taken, all of us!{S}
 Continue ranting, if you must.{S}
 Do not be a fool.{S}
 Could you cluck like a chicken when you do that?{S}
 I know dogs made of sterner stuff than you.{S}
 We dwarves have held off the darkspawn for centuries.{S}
 The Dalish would keep moving until we could move no more.{S}
 We Fereldans have fought off far worse in our past.{S}
 Time to put you out of your misery.{S}
 It must have been horrible.{S}
 How did you escape?{S}
 You should be put out of your misery.{S}
 Scaring these people will not get her back.{S}
 This ends now!{S}
 Why do not you keep your voice down?{S}
 I had enough of this the first time.{S}
 They will take your children!{S}
 I have the right to charge what I wish!{S}
 I should have the templars give away everything in your carts!{S}
 Would you care to make a tiny profit helping a beleaguered businessman?{S}
 He is charging outlandish prices for things people desperately need!{S}
 I have limited supplies.{S}
 You bought most of your wares from these very people last week!{S}
 Look, stranger, I have a hundred silvers if you will drive this rabble off, starting with that priest.{S}
 Would it help these folks if they could buy no goods at all?{S}
 They spend their very last coin because they are desperate.{S}
 Drive off this woman and get yer hundred silvers.{S}
 Otherwise I am taking my wagon and leaving!{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 Take it, then!{S}
 I have made enough coin to get by.{S}
 Just charge what you would have before this tragedy.{S}
 You are giving me a headache.{S}
 I would rather take my goods back to Denerim!{S}
 Perhaps... if that woman agrees I am allowed to charge <emp>something</emp>.{S}
 Do what you must.{S}
 So long as the prices do not beggar the needy.{S}
 Done.{S}
 And since you do not look too needy, normal prices for you.{S}
 We do not have that kind of coin!{S}
 And may you get all you deserve!{S}
 We have nothing to offer but our gratitude.{S}
 You would actually do the bidding of this evil little man?{S}
 May your heartlessness bring you exactly what you deserve.{S}
 Serves that wench right!{S}
 You have my thanks!{S}
 100 silvers, and I would be pleased to offer you a discount.{S}
 And beware the urchins... they have grabby little hands.{S}
 Did not I mention "profit"?{S}
 Do not suppose you are looking to buy something.{S}
 I am barely making a killing as it is.{S}
 Just... do not buy everything up.{S}
 Are you here to make my head ache, or do you actually want to buy something?{S}
 It is not much, but take a look if you want.{S}
 Care to take advantage of your discount?{S}
 You do not think you are being unscrupulous?{S}
 I do not think so! <act>Kill him</act>{S}
 I think you can compromise and still make a profit, no?{S}
 I tried my best.{S}
 Those of you not here to do business, leave now!{S}
 Can you beat that offer, Sister?{S}
 I am not getting involved.{S}
 What do I get if I help you?{S}
 I hear you are making a killing.{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 Yes, well... carry on.{S}
 Let us see what you have, then.{S}
 Get rid of the "tiny" part, and I will consider it.{S}
 Let us see what you have.{S}
 I am here to make your head ache.{S}
 You do not look like the other folk fleeing the south.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 You do not look Chasind, so you are not from the Wilds.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain has a bounty on any who survived.{S}
 I have no plans on telling anyone anything.{S}
 Do what you will.{S}
 Your story needs a bit of work.{S}
 We do not see many dwarves in these parts.{S}
 Most of the rabble who is fled here do not have anything worth the rags they are wearing.{S}
 You working with the fellow by the bridge?{S}
 They should not have come here with nothing, I guess.{S}
 Need something?{S}
 I do not generally talk to strange elves who wander in here.{S}
 Can not promise I am gonna answer them.{S}
 They brought him before the revered mother, named him the murderer.{S}
 Word has it he did not say a thing--just let himself be locked up.{S}
 Bandits will keep the rabble out, if Ser Bryant and his lot will not.{S}
 He is been talking about offering a reward for anyone who would run them out.{S}
 He is gone to war and taken all his soldiers, leaving us to fend for ourselves.{S}
 We got Chasind barbarians and every farmholder south of Calenhad running from the darkspawn.{S}
 We got plenty of that with the war, now.{S}
 I do not know you; why should not I have something against you?{S}
 We got enough strangers overrunning us.{S}
 What makes you think that?{S}
 Maybe you should just keep that to yourself.{S}
 The Grey Wardens did no such thing.{S}
 Where would I do that?{S}
 I have some questions.{S}
 What do you know about the caged qunari?{S}
 Do you know about those bandits outside the village?{S}
 You do not have a ruling lord?{S}
 I did not "wander" anywhere, thank you.{S}
 I could make trouble for you, human.{S}
 You have something against elves?{S}
 Have you seen my mother?{S}
 Nobody will help me find her.{S}
 Why can not I find her?{S}
 Oh, I was so, so scared that she would never get here!{S}
 Some mean men with swords came, and mother told me to run to the village as fast as I could, so I did!{S}
 She said she would be right behind me, but I have been waiting and waiting and I can not see her!{S}
 I will find her!{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Then what should I do?{S}
 I have nowhere to go and I am hungry!{S}
 Maybe I will meet her on the way!{S}
 But only if I do not find Mother, first.{S}
 He went with William to the neighbor's yesterday, but he did not come back.{S}
 She is really tall... and she has red hair.{S}
 Have you seen her?{S}
 Yes, I have.{S}
 Did you and your mother get separated?{S}
 I do not think she is coming, child.{S}
 Do not worry about that now.{S}
 I do not think she meant to leave you.{S}
 What if she does not show?{S}
 No, do not do that.{S}
 I will take you to your farmhold, if you like.{S}
 Do not be a fool!{S}
 Take this silver.{S}
 Buy something to eat.{S}
 Did my height give me away?{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 Did the ears give me away?{S}
 Do you know where your father is?{S}
 I do not like this.{S}
 The Maker watch over us, child, for the darkspawn have returned to make mankind pay for our sins.{S}
 Maker take his soul.{S}
 All these poor people must keep fleeing north.{S}
 Why does the Maker not help us?{S}
 What are we to do?{S}
 I cannot believe you agreed to free that creature!{S}
 He did terrible things to those families!{S}
 If they just stay away, the people fleeing the Blight could get here safely.{S}
 You let out that... creature they locked up for murdering those families!{S}
 Why would you do such a thing?{S}
 Even the Chantry is preparing to leave!{S}
 Why did not they just execute him?{S}
 A few knights have come through here, searching for some holy artifact.{S}
 Does the revered mother know you freed that... creature?{S}
 You freed that creature from its cage.{S}
 Do you honestly think we need more killers on the loose?{S}
 As if we needed more fighting here!{S}
 Do not you see how scared everyone is?{S}
 It is no use.{S}
 It is no use.{S}
 This will help us a great deal!{S}
 We thought it'd be safer in Lothering, that the teyrn would bring his soldiers here.{S}
 But bandits attacked us and took everything!{S}
 Nobody cares about a few elves.{S}
 Even if we do not get everything back, it is good to know others will be safe.{S}
 Nobody cares about a few elves like us.{S}
 There is nothing we can do for you, and apparently nothing you can do for us.{S}
 Bandits set upon us, right in sight of the town.{S}
 Those bandits have jumped every wagon and caravan in sight of Lothering.{S}
 I met those bandits and drove them off.{S}
 I met those bandits.{S}
 If you seek refuge in the chantry, there is simply no room left.{S}
 So many are coming to Lothering, I make no assumptions.{S}
 But we simply do not have room for anyone to sleep.{S}
 Priests are within if you seek to offer devotion to the Maker, however.{S}
 The revered mother put him there a few weeks back.{S}
 Did you drive them off?{S}
 Yes, but we can barely keep order in the village right now.{S}
 We have no men to chase down bandits.{S}
 I know it is not something many dwarves do, but if you wish to offer devotion to the Maker, you may enter.{S}
 Do I look like a refugee to you?{S}
 Have you heard any news?{S}
 Did you know there were bandits on the highway?{S}
 Do you know about the bandits on the highway?{S}
 Do you know someone named Leliana?{S}
 You dealt with the Chasind handily.{S}
 If you are looking for safe shelter, I will warn you: There is none to be found.{S}
 I am just giving you fair warning.{S}
 Thieves prey on the unfortunate whenever they get the chance.{S}
 You might find that, though it is probably just frightened gossip.{S}
 We have had refugees streaming from the south for the last two days.{S}
 There simply is not enough food to go around, and we templars can barely keep order.{S}
 We just ask that you do not bring more problems here.{S}
 I am just out here to keep an eye out for darkspawn.{S}
 The bann has marched north with Teyrn Loghain, so Lothering's on its own.{S}
 I am just here to keep watch.{S}
 Do you know about the bandits just outside the village?{S}
 Are you keeping me from going in?{S}
 We are the only hope of protection this village has now, and I will <emp>not</emp> abandon them.{S}
 May the Maker have mercy on us.{S}
 You do not seem like the other refugees.{S}
 Arl Eamon has fallen ill, and his knights are on a quest for the sacred urn filled with Andraste's ashes, said to cure any malady.{S}
 Now, unless there is something else you need...?{S}
 I do not care who takes the throne.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain has no legitimate claim on the throne.{S}
 If Arl Eamon was able to intervene, perhaps it would not have gone this far.{S}
 Do not look surprised.{S}
 I have heard word that the templars who watch over the Circle of Magi's tower have called for the Right of Annulment.{S}
 Hopefully, I have heard wrong.{S}
 'Twould be ironic to have them fricasseed just when they are useful.{S}
 We need the Circle's help.{S}
 We should go and find out what is happening.{S}
 Take your reward, at any rate... it is all I have to offer.{S}
 Well, you will not find it here.{S}
 We can barely keep control inside the village, much less on the roads.{S}
 But I will try once more.{S}
 I will not let them take any more advantage of this catastrophe!{S}
 Those fool bandits have returned.{S}
 Take some men and drive them off.{S}
 He did not even deny slaughtering them.{S}
 She has more mercy than I do.{S}
 I say let him rot until the darkspawn claim him.{S}
 Normally, our role is to protect the chantry and seek out unsanctioned magic.{S}
 For now, it is all we can do to protect the innocent.{S}
 We have more than swords at our disposal.{S}
 We are taught to dispel unholy magics, as well.{S}
 Our bann was summoned by Teyrn Loghain, and he took his soldiers north with him.{S}
 Lothering has been abandoned.{S}
 You have met her?{S}
 She came to the chantry years ago, to begin a new life of contemplation.{S}
 I do not think her life before she arrived was a happy one.{S}
 She was never well suited to the life here, but I do believe her faith in the Maker was sincere.{S}
 The revered mother leads this flock; I merely command her templars.{S}
 In her study, no doubt, preparing what she will take when we eventually evacuate.{S}
 They have found no cure, and thus must chase after miracles.{S}
 Then what might I do for you?{S}
 And set a bounty on any who survived.{S}
 I do not believe the Grey Wardens would be as careless or malicious as the teyrn claims, but either way, there it is.{S}
 I cannot openly help you, I fear, but... here, take this key.{S}
 It opens the large cabinet on the far wall.{S}
 There is more there than we can carry when we evacuate, so take what you need.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 I see you have returned, Sister.{S}
 I thought you had left the chantry for good.{S}
 I have, Ser Bryant.{S}
 Is there something more I can do for you?{S}
 I did not mean to interrupt.{S}
 Do many of his knights come here?{S}
 Have you heard any recent news?{S}
 No need.{S}
 I could keep an eye out for trouble, for the right pay...{S}
 Is there any other help you can offer?{S}
 How do templars fight against magic?{S}
 Are you the only protection this village has?{S}
 Do you know why she left?{S}
 Where would I find the revered mother?{S}
 Have many of his knights come here?{S}
 I have heard the rumors.{S}
 With my family abandoning the farm to flee north, we will need all the grace the Maker can offer.{S}
 I need to get underway.{S}
 If I am lucky, I will make it back to the farmhold by nightfall.{S}
 I have seen you people in Lothering sometimes, but never the chantry.{S}
 A woman like yourself has the same right to the Maker's forgiveness as any of us.{S}
 A man like yourself has the same right to the Maker's forgiveness as any of us.{S}
 I suppose with the darkspawn coming you have other business with the chantry.{S}
 I do not think she is with anyone right now.{S}
 She is very busy, but I think she is free now.{S}
 I have already spoken to her, actually.{S}
 Will you be making a donation to the chantry, my friend?{S}
 You look like you have salvaged more of value than most who make it here.{S}
 But you must do as your heart wills.{S}
 What can I do for you, then?{S}
 Not many of your people join our devotions.{S}
 Yes, you have a difficult road to walk, do not you?{S}
 In Andraste's name, I call upon the Maker to watch over His child and creation.{S}
 Give her light in darkness.{S}
 In Andraste's name, I call upon the Maker to watch over His child and creation.{S}
 Give him light in darkness.{S}
 The best I can do is keep your presence a secret.{S}
 You put me in a difficult position.{S}
 You have not heard?{S}
 Lay low and I promise to keep your presence a secret.{S}
 That is the best I can do.{S}
 It might have been kinder to execute him, but I leave his fate to the Maker.{S}
 Why does he interest you?{S}
 Do you have any sort of papers to corroborate your story?{S}
 I had no idea the qunari even knew he was here.{S}
 You will get no help here!{S}
 Take the key to his cage and begone!{S}
 I will leave the teyrn's men to bring you to justice.{S}
 Since our bann has forsaken Lothering, perhaps you are the best choice for secular justice after all.{S}
 I will have to ask you to leave before you bring trouble on our heads.{S}
 The Maker cares no less for that qunari's victims than for the thousands who fell in Ostagar.{S}
 You have convinced me.{S}
 But you have convinced me.{S}
 Take the key to the qunari's cage and take him away.{S}
 The child said his father had found the qunari gravely wounded and took him in.{S}
 The bann's men found the qunari just... standing amidst the carnage.{S}
 He did not resist them.{S}
 He confessed quite readily, but would give no reason for the crime.{S}
 We have already discussed this and I told you I would not release the creature.{S}
 I am sorry, but I just do not see a reason to release the qunari to you.{S}
 She said something about a great destiny that would take her away.{S}
 She did not want to hear that we most often serve the Maker in small kindnesses, not grand gestures.{S}
 With Andraste's guidance, she is already traveling north, out of the darkspawn's reach.{S}
 Traditionally, those who seek my blessing tithe first.{S}
 I have important work to finish.{S}
 What can I do for you now?{S}
 I do not recognize your companion.{S}
 Will you be making a donation to the chantry?{S}
 Our need has never been greater.{S}
 Is there something I can do for you, then?{S}
 Did I not tell you to leave?{S}
 Get out before I have the templars remove you!{S}
 I have nothing to offer.{S}
 Can you provide any help to the Grey Wardens at all?{S}
 I need your help.{S}
 So I have heard.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 I want him freed.{S}
 I might have a use for him.{S}
 I suppose that is a "no". <act>Lie</act> I have come to return him to his people.{S}
 Perhaps I should have said that I am a Grey Warden.{S}
 I have no time for this.{S}
 Give me the keys to the cage.{S}
 I am a Grey Warden, in need of aid against the darkspawn.{S}
 I will do what I must to get help.{S}
 Even use force.{S}
 Give me the key to Sten's cage or die.{S}
 What if this causes an incident with his people?{S}
 What did he do?{S}
 What would make him do such a thing?{S}
 Are you certain he did it?{S}
 Give me the key to Sten's cage.{S}
 In desperate times, Grey Wardens will do whatever they must.{S}
 I can offer five sovereigns.{S}
 I am sorry, but I only have ten silver.{S}
 I am sorry, but I must prepare the chantry's vestments before we flee.{S}
 We have found no cure, either natural or magical.{S}
 Every knight of Redcliffe has gone in search of the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 And you have his locket?{S}
 With Henric gone, I need to return to Redcliffe.{S}
 Perhaps later I will seek out the scholar his note mentions.{S}
 You have been most helpful.{S}
 You have been most helpful.{S}
 I wonder how many of us have met similar fates on this mad quest.{S}
 I expected to take advantage of the chantry's library, in fact, but my skills are better suited to battle than chasing down tales.{S}
 You can travel to Redcliffe if you like... perhaps he has recovered.{S}
 I do not like the sound of that.{S}
 We should see Arl Eamon for ourselves and find out what is happening.{S}
 We did not betray anyone, Ser Donall.{S}
 Then some <emp>did</emp> survive.{S}
 Whatever the teyrn has done or not done, the arl remains ill, or worse.{S}
 Or perhaps his luck has changed in the weeks I have been gone.{S}
 If Arl Eamon were well, I have little doubt he would assist you.{S}
 Ah, such thoughts do not sit well with me.{S}
 When did this happen?{S}
 Only a few weeks ago, but he has declined quickly.{S}
 No one knows the nature of the illness, and even magic has done little to slow its progress.{S}
 But I am glad to meet you, good ser.{S}
 Might I know your name?{S}
 Pleased to meet you, my lady.{S}
 Might I know your name?{S}
 Teyrn Loghain has declared the Grey Wardens responsible for the loss at Ostagar.{S}
 I do not believe a word of it.{S}
 But with the teyrn offering hard coin for your deaths, you would be smart to keep your identities secret.{S}
 If Arl Eamon were well, he would set Loghain straight soon enough.{S}
 We have heard Loghain's accusations.{S}
 Allow me to mark my place in my book...{S}
 Now then, what can I do for you?{S}
 I have something of his.{S}
 I dealt with the bandits that killed him.{S}
 What are you doing here in Lothering?{S}
 So your quest for the ashes brought you here?{S}
 I need his help.{S}
 Do you have any advice?{S}
 Do you think Loghain is involved with the arl's illness?{S}
 We need his help against Teyrn Loghain.{S}
 Yes, we have heard about his illness.{S}
 I was hoping to meet Arl Eamon, in fact.{S}
 It is a pleasure to meet you.{S}
 So many come to Lothering seeking refuge, only to find that we can offer little more than prayer.{S}
 Does the Maker see our plight?{S}
 Please do not disturb them.{S}
 We are preparing as we can, and when the revered mother calls on us to leave, we shall.{S}
 Would you see someone's soul denied the Maker's light just for the misfortune of having been born outside the Chantry's influence?{S}
 The revered mother presides over the chantry, and Ser Bryant leads the few templars guarding us.{S}
 How do you even know the Maker exists?{S}
 I have never heard it sung quite like this.{S}
 And then shall the Chant of Light make it pure.{S}
 Perhaps the darkspawn will take him if he is not dead already.{S}
 Do you know the tale?{S}
 The prophet was burned in the ancient city of Minrathous before the ancient mages she had fought.{S}
 Instead of dying in pain as the mages wanted, she was purified by the fire and taken by the Maker into the heavens to stand forever at His side.{S}
 Thus, we all serve by feeding its flames.{S}
 The dwarves have offered us coal and special rocks.{S}
 Even the Circle of Magi volunteered to provide magical flames.{S}
 If that is not irony, I do not know what is.{S}
 It should take as much concentration to cleanse the soul as to cleanse the body.{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 It is a symbol and not meant to be taken literally!{S}
 Do you know anything about the imprisoned qunari?{S}
 I know all chantries keep a fire to honor her death.{S}
 Are not there easier ways to keep a fire going?{S}
 So if I sin, I should just set myself on fire?{S}
 Does not everyone?{S}
 I trust that you are not here to make trouble.{S}
 You are welcome here, so long as you cause no trouble.{S}
 Please do not cause a disturbance.{S}
 Matters are delicate enough with all the newcomers.{S}
 I hope the revered mother knows what she is doing in letting him go.{S}
 You dare bring that creature here?{S}
 Take him away at once!{S}
 You have been warned.{S}
 What is your name?{S}
 I will not have you staring overlong.{S}
 Best get used to it.{S}
 Please, I must continue playing, else I earn no coin tonight.{S}
 I just play what the innkeep asks.{S}
 We need his coin to travel north.{S}
 Sorry, I do not know any songs from the Dales.{S}
 I just play what the innkeep asks.{S}
 Sorry, I do not know any dwarven songs.{S}
 I just play what the innkeep asks.{S}
 Look what we have here, men.{S}
 I think we have just been blessed.{S}
 Did not we spend all morning asking about an elf by this very description?{S}
 Gentlemen, surely there is no need for trouble.{S}
 This is no doubt simply another poor soul seeking refuge.{S}
 If you insist on protecting a traitor, I have no trouble teaching you a lesson.{S}
 I served at Ostagar, where the teyrn saved us from the Grey Wardens' treachery!{S}
 I serve him gladly!{S}
 Let us make this quick!{S}
 Take the Warden into custody.{S}
 Kill the sister and anyone else that gets in your way.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain claims the Grey Wardens betrayed the king, or haven't you heard? <emp>You</emp> do not need my protection.{S}
 All right, you have won!{S}
 They have learned their lesson and we can all stop fighting, now.{S}
 The Wardens led the king to his death!{S}
 The teyrn could do nothing!{S}
 W-what do you want to tell him?{S}
 They have surrendered!{S}
 Let them be!{S}
 But they failed, and I do not wish death on anyone.{S}
 May He keep you in His sight and guide you.{S}
 Let us talk about this before things get out of hand.{S}
 What makes you think I am a traitor?{S}
 I do not need your help, miss.{S}
 The Grey Wardens did not betray King Cailan.{S}
 Loghain did.{S}
 Take a message to Loghain.{S}
 He will have to do better than this.{S}
 He will pay for what he is done.{S}
 I do not want them reporting to Loghain.{S}
 Start running.{S}
 Then give them a final prayer, Sister. <act>Kill them</act>{S}
 But I do. <act>Kill them</act>{S}
 I do not deal with customers.{S}
 I will not have any elves tracking dirt in!{S}
 You think I do not see your grubby little hands snatching all the rolls?{S}
 I will not have my kitchen invaded by ramblers, tracking mud in on their shoes!{S}
 With all these poor mouths to feed, I have no time to spare!{S}
 I will have no fighting in my kitchen.{S}
 The Maker would not let us die, would He?{S}
 What are <emp>we</emp> supposed to do?{S}
 Ser Bryant needs to stop those blasted bandits.{S}
 I-I do not want any trouble...{S}
 Please do not hurt me.{S}
 And what do you need?{S}
 Take care of yourself, stranger.{S}
 Let me show you.{S}
 With the demand now, I sell wherever I can.{S}
 I will not be able to take it with me, after all.{S}
 Need something else?{S}
 Please, I do not want trouble.{S}
 Do you want to buy something or not?{S}
 The horde will get him, most like.{S}
 How dare you bring that murderer here!{S}
 I have no intention of getting involved.{S}
 I am trying to listen to the bards' song.{S}
 Please do not hurt us.{S}
 We thought the soldiers would hold Lothering, but they have abandoned us again.{S}
 If I would died a soldier, at least my wife would have my death coin.{S}
 My kids haven't had a roof over them in weeks.{S}
 To Haven Village <emp>Find the Urn</emp>{S}
 Brother Genitivi, the scholar who was trying to track down Andraste's final resting place, has gone missing.{S}
 His assistant, Weylon, told you that he set off to follow a lead on the Urn.{S}
 He is now dead. <emp>Find the Urn</emp>{S}
 The only hint Weylon gave you on Brother Genitivis whereabouts is that he was going to an inn near Lake Calenhad.{S}
 Brother Genitivi went to investigate something around that area. <emp>Find the Urn</emp>{S}
 Could Weylon have led you astray?{S}
 Seek him out in Denerim's Market District. <emp>Find the Urn</emp>{S}
 The innkeeper of the Spoiled Princess thinks something bad may have happened to the Redcliffe knights who came looking for Brother Genitivi.{S}
 I am not abandoning decades of research!{S}
 My faith gives me strength.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 It is best for all of us that you return to Denerim. <emp>Find the Urn</emp>{S}
 Brother Genitivi's research suggests that the village of Haven, in the mountains to the west, might have some clues as to the location of the Urn.{S}
 Brother Genitivi must have gone to Haven to continue his search.{S}
 I just wanted to understand more before setting off.{S}
 I do not think this will end well.{S}
 What skill level would you like to have?{S}
 Jowan has [not] been banished.{S}
 I do not wish to modify any more skills.{S}
 I do not stand aside for anyone.{S}
 I should get back to work before Master Varathorn skins me alive.{S}
 Have you ever seen an artifact made by the ancient craftsmen?{S}
 Master Varathorn keeps us very busy.{S}
 It takes many decades to master even what little we know of the old crafts.{S}
 I suppose they do some things well enough, though.{S}
 I wonder why the ancient shemlen did not study our crafts more when they took our people as slaves.{S}
 You would think they would have seen value in it.{S}
 You work with metal like our ancestors worked with wood.{S}
 That is what I want to do one day: work solely in shaping wood and making bows.{S}
 I have work to do.{S}
 I hope the others have not been too harsh in their treatment of you.{S}
 Most would assume we are unkind as a rule, and that is not the case... especially not to a Grey Warden.{S}
 I would join you, but Zathrian has... forbidden me.{S}
 I am sure you have little interest in my problems.{S}
 I, ah, did not ask you for help, really...{S}
 You have your own concerns, I am certain.{S}
 I would certainly appreciate anything you could do.{S}
 Zathrian fought hard to ease her pain, but there was little he could do.{S}
 And though he says that Danyla is dead, he will not let me see her... her body.{S}
 I am beginning to believe she became a werewolf, and that it is being kept from me so I do not go chasing after her...{S}
 I just need to know... one way or another.{S}
 And in return, I would be happy to gift you an amulet made by our craftsmen.{S}
 I can only cling to a faint hope... or rest once I find out the truth.{S}
 I suppose your kind are used to greater rewards for such tasks.{S}
 It is all I have to offer.{S}
 As I surmised at the start.{S}
 I must discover the truth for myself.{S}
 I have... more cause than most, but I will not disobey my keeper.{S}
 Surely you have greater concerns than my problems, stranger.{S}
 I suppose there is no harm in telling a fellow elf, but surely you have greater concerns than any problem of mine, no?{S}
 Here, take this amulet.{S}
 I understand our crafts have some value in human lands.{S}
 So... the keeper did not lie?{S}
 I trust my people have not been too harsh in their treatment of you?{S}
 We welcome our brethren, even if they have forgotten the old ways.{S}
 That is our charge, after all: to keep the old lore alive until we can bring it back for all.{S}
 I have no intention of seeking them out, but I expected warmer words from a fellow Dalish.{S}
 I am glad you have become part of such a respectful organization as the Grey Wardens, however.{S}
 Is there something else you needed of me?{S}
 True, but I should not have mentioned anything, especially to an outsider.{S}
 You have more important concerns, I am sure.{S}
 I did, but...{S}
 I do not expect you to be interested in hearing my tale.{S}
 You have returned.{S}
 Is there... any chance you have news of Danyla?{S}
 You have your own business to attend to, after all.{S}
 I suppose I shall have to wait longer and see.{S}
 No offense, but... you have nothing of hers, no proof that you bring word.{S}
 Danyla would have given you something...{S}
 I... do not doubt your intentions, but I know my wife, and I know what she would do.{S}
 If you can bring me that, I would be grateful.{S}
 If not, then there is no need for you to speak to me, is there?{S}
 I know what she would do.{S}
 Ir abelas--I am sorry, but unless you have some evidence, I cannot accept what you are saying.{S}
 You have news?{S}
 What do you know?{S}
 You have news?{S}
 Have you found her?{S}
 Where did you find her?{S}
 What... what do you mean?! <emp>Joking</emp>?!{S}
 I should never have expected anything but cruelty from an outsider.{S}
 Of course... you had to.{S}
 Yes... that is what she would do.{S}
 You have been most kind, my friend.{S}
 Now I should go and make arrangements.{S}
 Do not speak to me.{S}
 Do what you came here to do, then be gone.{S}
 I do not mind.{S}
 You do not seem very happy about that...{S}
 I will pretend I did not hear that, then.{S}
 Perhaps it has something to do with this scarf.{S}
 I really do not have time to be a search party.{S}
 I will seek her out in the forest.{S}
 I have no time for this sort of errand.{S}
 Why do you want to enter the forest?{S}
 I sure do.{S}
 Just making conversation.{S}
 I found Danyla.{S}
 She gave me this scarf.{S}
 That will do.{S}
 I found her in the forest.{S}
 I found her in the Brecilian Forest.{S}
 That is all you need to know.{S}
 They have been a bit suspicious.{S}
 They have and it is annoying.{S}
 I have a job to do.{S}
 Actually, everyone has been quite accommodating.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I have been separated from them for some time.{S}
 No, I need to go.{S}
 You mentioned having a problem before.{S}
 You do not seem very happy, Athras.{S}
 You mentioned Zathrian forbidding you to join me...{S}
 Not yet, I am afraid. <act>Lie</act> I do.{S}
 I will see what I can do.{S}
 She did not give me anything because she is dead, Athras.{S}
 She gave me her scarf.{S}
 No, this has been too fun.{S}
 Do you doubt me?{S}
 It is just that... we do not get many visitors.{S}
 We do keep to ourselves.{S}
 It is just that they do not--I mean you do not... oh, I should start over.{S}
 You are so much... bigger than I--oh, er, I did not mean...{S}
 I should start over.{S}
 I did not mean it like that!{S}
 I... <desc>sigh</desc> Can we start over?{S}
 I am sorry; I am not used to dealing with outsiders... th-though we do get people like you from time to time.{S}
 I... am sorry, I... did not mean to offend you in, uhhh, any way...{S}
 It-it is good to finally meet you.{S}
 I do not get to interact with outsiders much.{S}
 I do not get to interact with outsiders very much.{S}
 Oh, I did not mean it like that...{S}
 I just do not get to interact with folks outside our clan very often.{S}
 I suppose it makes no difference.{S}
 I have been an apprentice for too long.{S}
 To become a true hunter, I must bring back the pelt of a beast I killed myself.{S}
 I have asked for her hand, but she cruelly refuses it.{S}
 If I was a hunter, I could prove it, but I cannot hunt and... and Gheyna will never bond with me!{S}
 I feel so helpless! <desc>Sigh</desc> I should not have brought it up.{S}
 I... did not know if it was a good idea to talk to you.{S}
 It... it is good to meet you.{S}
 I do not think there is anything I can tell you.{S}
 Oh, what do you want now?{S}
 You did?{S}
 What did she tell you?{S}
 Maybe it is best you do not.{S}
 I really do not see what this proves.{S}
 Take your hateful ways and begone!{S}
 Then why did you speak to her at all?{S}
 Do whatever you came here to do and begone.{S}
 Why that-- She will not get away with this!{S}
 How dare she play me for a bare-skinned fool!{S}
 Did not go well?{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 Until I am true hunter, there is nothing I can do.{S}
 Nor would I have expected differently.{S}
 But thank you for trying.{S}
 There is nothing I can do.{S}
 I... do not understand.{S}
 We have never done anything like that!{S}
 I have never kissed anyone, not like that.{S}
 I do not think that would help.{S}
 Oh, I do not think so.{S}
 Let us just drop this.{S}
 I have serenaded her, and we have talked many times under the moon.{S}
 But that does not matter if I am still an apprentice.{S}
 I really do.{S}
 Not before we are married.{S}
 No, I could not do that.{S}
 I do not want to lie.{S}
 I <emp>do</emp> want to marry Gheyna, before she marries someone else.{S}
 So you would get a pelt for me?{S}
 Why would you do that?{S}
 You just wanted... why would you do such a thing!{S}
 I have a tome on our history, written in the common tongue by the keeper.{S}
 He gave it to my father before he died.{S}
 I guess there is nothing I can do about it.{S}
 If nothing, you could sell it!{S}
 Ma serannas for the offer, however.{S}
 But what good would that do?{S}
 I am willing to try anything.{S}
 I have a book of our history, written in the common tongue.{S}
 The keeper wrote it and gave it to my father before he died.{S}
 If nothing else, you could sell it?{S}
 It is all I have.{S}
 Then there is nothing I can do.{S}
 It is a book the keeper gave my father.{S}
 You... you do not even care for her!{S}
 You have ruined my life!{S}
 So... have you found a pelt? <desc>Sigh</desc> Then just forget about it.{S}
 It was a bad idea to begin with.{S}
 I have to go and see Gheyna now!{S}
 So... have you spoken to Gheyna?{S}
 But I did not--{S}
 If only you had been honest with me!{S}
 Do not play the innocent with me!{S}
 I have wonderful news!{S}
 I finally have my pelt!{S}
 I did not!{S}
 Take this.{S}
 I was going to give it to her for our bonding.{S}
 I do not even want to see it.{S}
 I need to be away from you.{S}
 Perhaps it is best if we did not... speak more.{S}
 We are both very grateful for the part you have played in bringing us together.{S}
 Here... take this.{S}
 I hope it plays some part in your battle against the darkspawn.{S}
 It is the very least we could do.{S}
 Here... take the book.{S}
 I hope it plays some part in your battle against the darkspawn.{S}
 It is the very least I can do.{S}
 There is no need to be afraid of me.{S}
 You have never seen a human before?{S}
 You have never seen a dwarf before?{S}
 What is the matter?!{S}
 You have a name, I assume?{S}
 You are about to if you keep this up.{S}
 You have met many humans, have you?{S}
 You have met many dwarves, have you?{S}
 I certainly hope you do not mean because I am a woman.{S}
 Try me.{S}
 You do not seem very happy out here, Cammen.{S}
 Care to tell me why?{S}
 I do not really care for your attitude.{S}
 I will have to keep trying.{S}
 She said that she would never marry you.{S}
 Because you were ugly and she was through playing with you.{S}
 She sure did.{S}
 Things did not go so well.{S}
 She said that she could not marry you.{S}
 Have you tried wooing Gheyna?{S}
 Let us forget I mentioned anything.{S}
 Not to be too blunt, but have you bedded her?{S}
 You have never even kissed?{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 You want to be able to please Gheyna, do not you?{S}
 Then let us go somewhere private.{S}
 Then why do you bother?{S}
 Let me think of something else, then.{S}
 I will have to get back to you.{S}
 Have you tried giving her a gift?{S}
 I suppose it would be too much to ask if you have bedded her.{S}
 What if I got a pelt for you?{S}
 Do you want to marry Gheyna or not?{S}
 Make a decision.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 Keep your book.{S}
 I will get the pelt.{S}
 I will do it then.{S}
 To see you two get together, of course.{S}
 Do I need another reason?{S}
 Keep your book.{S}
 Fine, I will do it.{S}
 And let me tell you something: I bedded Gheyna.{S}
 That seems a bit unlikely now, does not it?{S}
 No harm done.{S}
 No, nor do I think I can.{S}
 Yes, I have one here.{S}
 Nor do I think it is a good idea.{S}
 I have done better than that.{S}
 I found you a wolf pelt.{S}
 I just wanted to let you know I bedded Gheyna.{S}
 It is too bad you had to leave your clan.{S}
 You are not gonna hurt us, are you?{S}
 We would not let you do that.{S}
 Elves should not have to live with humans if they do not want to.{S}
 It is too bad you do not have a clan of your own.{S}
 Does it really have a great lake of lava?{S}
 If you get no sun, should not you be all white?{S}
 Perhaps the Creators have sent you to us in our time of need.{S}
 How strange that a Dalish should join the Grey Wardens.{S}
 But how thrilling that a Dalish would also do so much and be so important.{S}
 Why would you do that?{S}
 I do not understand you.{S}
 Elora says you have a way with the halla that she has not seen before.{S}
 That is a remarkable gift, do not you think?{S}
 You should have let nature take its course.{S}
 Poor Zathrian, to have died after all his long centuries of life.{S}
 Our hunters have been cured.{S}
 I was so busy attending to the halla I did not hear your approach.{S}
 I was so busy attending the halla, I did not hear you coming.{S}
 I fear she may have been bitten during the werewolf attack.{S}
 I have tried speaking with her, but she is too agitated for me to understand.{S}
 And it may prove contagious to the other halla, as well.{S}
 I can find no wound on her, but if she is truly ill, then... <desc>sigh</desc> then I will have to put her out of her misery.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Do you have any skills that might help her?{S}
 If you do, I would be grateful.{S}
 I will do it myself.{S}
 She shall take her last breath knowing she was always safest in my care.{S}
 And you think this performance of yours is very convincing, do you?{S}
 No, do not answer.{S}
 I do not even want to know why you would lie to me so.{S}
 Get out of my sight.{S}
 Let us make an end to it.{S}
 Lonely halla, lost in the rain, see the lights how they shine in the sky, let them guide your way home.{S}
 It is... customary for the herder to take the antlers of a fallen halla.{S}
 I give them to you, friend.{S}
 Bring them to Master Varathorn and he will make you a gift from them.{S}
 Ma serannas for the kindness you have shown today.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 It was kind of you to try.{S}
 I did not realize another halla was injured.{S}
 This will allow me to prevent the sickness from spreading to the entire herd.{S}
 You have done my clan a great boon this day.{S}
 We have lost so many of our hunters; I would hate to lose one of our halla as well.{S}
 I am Elora, and it is my place to speak to the halla and care for their needs.{S}
 In return, the halla guide us where we need to go.{S}
 It is the halla who decide where to lead us, and our privilege that they take our aravel with them.{S}
 In return, it is the herder's job to speak to the halla and care for their needs.{S}
 I have heard of the bronto.{S}
 I have seen your horses.{S}
 My name is Elora.{S}
 I am the master herder, in charge of caring for the halla.{S}
 Would that we could all find such peace with our lot in life.{S}
 True animal husbandry requires many long years of training, especially with our halla.{S}
 But I take no offense.{S}
 I was not frightened, though from all I have heard of you from my clan-mates, perhaps I should be.{S}
 I would rather you did what you came here to do and moved on.{S}
 I was simply preoccupied with the halla and did not hear your approach.{S}
 I made no accusation.{S}
 I have no fear of you, despite your reputation.{S}
 Come to check on my halla and I again, have you?{S}
 I told you to get out of my sight.{S}
 There is nothing you can do, here.{S}
 Allow me to say ma serannas once again for your assistance.{S}
 You were marvelous how you handled her; I would never have expected it.{S}
 I notice you have separated this halla from the herd.{S}
 That does not seem like much of a problem.{S}
 I wish I did; I am sorry.{S}
 No, I do not need these.{S}
 I cannot find an injury.{S}
 I am not sure what is wrong. <act>Try to calm the halla.</act>{S}
 Then there is nothing more I can do.{S}
 I am sorry, I tried my best.{S}
 I take it you are the clan's master herder?{S}
 You make them sound like friends.{S}
 The humans keep similar herds, but of horses.{S}
 So why have you separated this one from the others?{S}
 We have nothing similar in Orzammar.{S}
 My own people keep similar herds, but of horses.{S}
 Working with animals would be quite rewarding.{S}
 If that makes you a shepherd, then no.{S}
 There is no need to be frightened.{S}
 You do not seem very happy to see me.{S}
 I wasn't trying to sneak up on you.{S}
 Then may the Creators bring you fortune.{S}
 I am not sure what I can tell you, but I shall try.{S}
 He has been our keeper since long before my parent's parents were born.{S}
 He could not have known any more than the rest of us.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Why Zathrian differs from others, I do not know.{S}
 Perhaps he has been blessed by the Creators.{S}
 Your people do not have gods?{S}
 I do not think I could live without the hope that when I die, I will be greeted by the Creators.{S}
 The shemlen would have us believe otherwise, but their "Maker" is no more present.{S}
 At least the Creators are our own and they care for us as no other.{S}
 Does your Maker need to come down from the heavens and speak out loud for you to believe in Him?{S}
 He... keeps us safe.{S}
 And he keeps the knowledge of our people safe, so we may bring it to all of our people one day.{S}
 When we have a new homeland to settle in, we shall teach all elves the ways they have forgotten.{S}
 When there is a new homeland for us all to settle in, the Dalish shall teach your people what they have forgotten.{S}
 Master Varathorn should have what you need.{S}
 Seek him out at the forge.{S}
 Is... there something you need from me?{S}
 None of us could have expected an outsider to act as graciously as you have.{S}
 If we are to blame outsiders for their wrongs, we should also commend them when they do right.{S}
 What did he say?{S}
 He did not!{S}
 I will tell him exactly what he will get!{S}
 I will show him exactly what he will get!{S}
 I will give him a reason to hate me!{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 I do not think that is a good idea.{S}
 I do not expect an outsider to understand our ways, but...{S}
 Each time he is tried, something has gone wrong.{S}
 Perhaps the Creators do not wish us to bond.{S}
 Cammen does not hate me!{S}
 He will get over it in time.{S}
 I <emp>do</emp> care for him, but...{S}
 It <emp>does</emp> matter.{S}
 I am sorry, but I will not rest my future on the advice of an outsider, no matter how kind.{S}
 Yes, it does matter.{S}
 You are the one who brought him up.{S}
 Please... let us speak of it no more.{S}
 All I have done is make him miserable!{S}
 You have helped me put this into perspective.{S}
 Oh, you are right... what is the point of worrying and making us both so miserable!{S}
 Tell Cammen I am sorry, but... it just will not work.{S}
 I have made poor Cammen miserable...{S}
 It is a grand thing that you have chosen to become a Grey Warden.{S}
 It always seems in the legends that the ones chosen for a great destiny never want it.{S}
 Please... do not hurt me.{S}
 D-do you need something from me?{S}
 Cammen, I have been a fool.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 H-have you changed your mind?{S}
 I have.{S}
 The outsider has helped me to see that I was wrong.{S}
 I have made you miserable and I should not have.{S}
 But what about my hunt? <desc>Sigh</desc> I do not care about that.{S}
 You have made me a happy man.{S}
 I am sure you have more important matters to consume your attention.{S}
 You will never have me, Cammen.{S}
 Do not you ever talk to me again!{S}
 Do not even start with your excuses!{S}
 I already know what you have been saying!{S}
 Did you really think I was so simple?{S}
 Please, let me explain, Gheyna!{S}
 I did it for you...{S}
 Do you take me for some kind of fool?!{S}
 How dare you do this to me!{S}
 Have you not done enough already?{S}
 I can not believe I just did that!{S}
 Why did not he know the werewolves would attack?{S}
 You do not actually believe in those gods, do you?{S}
 I have another question about Zathrian.{S}
 Bring it to all of your people?{S}
 Where does he get this knowledge?{S}
 You have every right to expect that.{S}
 Perhaps you should meet more outsiders.{S}
 He shouted your name while we made love, that is all.{S}
 Well, he meant after you were married.{S}
 He did say that you were heartless and that he hates you.{S}
 I assure you he did.{S}
 Before the season's end, apparently.{S}
 You deserve it, after all, do not you?{S}
 I do not think he means it.{S}
 I mean maybe Cammen will prove himself in time.{S}
 Let us discuss this in private.{S}
 He said that you refuse to give him your hand.{S}
 No, I do not suppose you could.{S}
 He told me that while we were making love.{S}
 Because he thinks you do not care for him.{S}
 You do, do not you?{S}
 If you love him, it does not matter what he is, does it?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Why does everything depend on him?{S}
 What does it matter if you are both happy?{S}
 You do not think you are?{S}
 You have never met another Dalish?{S}
 He will be a better lover for you now once you are married.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 My name is Lanaya, and I am Zathrian's first... what you might call an apprentice, perhaps.{S}
 I have been studying under the keeper all my life.{S}
 Do you mind if I ask you a question or two?{S}
 I apologize; I did not mean to offend.{S}
 Many of my clan might not welcome an outsider's questions, but I have no trouble with it.{S}
 He did?{S}
 I am sure you must have misunderstood his intent.{S}
 I just brought him the unguent an hour ago.{S}
 You must have misunderstood him.{S}
 I just brought him some an hour ago.{S}
 He is the keeper of this clan and has been for a very long time.{S}
 He is also a very good man who has lost much.{S}
 The Dalish are everything to him, and he would do anything to protect them.{S}
 I do not know the story, but I understand the circumstances were horrific.{S}
 They have reason.{S}
 Since the days of Arlathan, my people have been either subjugated or homeless.{S}
 It requires an individual to prove he is not the outsider we have come to expect.{S}
 The Dales came when we were freed from enslavement.{S}
 Elves everywhere journeyed hundreds and thousands of miles to the Dales, eager to start their lives anew.{S}
 They reached the Dales and made it their own and one day it was taken from us, too.{S}
 We were free then, and immortal.{S}
 We did not know how to deal with the humans and in the end, they turned their power against us and destroyed Arlathan.{S}
 One wonders why we were not more prepared when the humans conquered our second homeland.{S}
 We will be more cautious if we ever have a third.{S}
 They died, but not of an aged body as other races do.{S}
 According to the legends, association with the humans caused us to quicken... our blood sped and we began to age.{S}
 And then we were enslaved by them for a thousand years, and in so doing we all were quickened permanently and our immortality destroyed.{S}
 We Dalish have lengthy life spans, and they will get longer.{S}
 Zathrian himself has lived many centuries, though that is unusual even for us.{S}
 The Tevinter Imperium was a force to be reckoned with; it was ruled by mages with powerful blood magic.{S}
 After a millennium of slavery, our people were freed by Andraste, the human's prophet who spawned the Chantry.{S}
 After a millennium of slavery, Andraste herself freed our people, she who was your Maker's chosen.{S}
 We worship the Creators, as we always have.{S}
 We give thanks to Andraste for her part in our freedom, but we do not worship her or her god.{S}
 But fairness does not play into such feelings.{S}
 No outsider has ever been good for us.{S}
 You are human, and to many of them, you represent the humiliations our people have suffered for generations.{S}
 You may not have been personally responsible, but such feelings are not easily overruled by logic or fairness.{S}
 It is all we can do to cling onto our past, now.{S}
 Perhaps this may change one day, but I believe the humans would have to take the first steps... if they are capable.{S}
 Still, I do not blame them for what they feel.{S}
 The clan is all many Dalish have ever known.{S}
 We Dalish have old traditions.{S}
 The clans come from the ranks of the nobility that once ruled the Dales, you see.{S}
 The keepers of those clans have the strongest and purest blood that reaches back to the days of Arlathan.{S}
 I had to compete against the other candidates for first, to be better than them in everything simply because I was not of the old blood.{S}
 I have always thought of him as a father, in a way, and he could not hide his pleasure when I became his first.{S}
 The clan has placed great trust in me.{S}
 One day, I will lead them and be the one who secures our future.{S}
 Zathrian told me that time would take away their prejudices, and it did.{S}
 They became used to me.{S}
 It is possible I might have had some.{S}
 Zathrian offered to take me back, but I had no idea where I was from, and I wanted to stay with the man who rescued me.{S}
 For now, the clan is all I need.{S}
 My old world could not have offered me all this and the knowledge of a keeper, as well.{S}
 When the clan discovered him, Zathrian came looking for his killers.{S}
 He took me back to the clan and I have been here ever since.{S}
 I was the only survivor, just a young girl, and the bandits took me.{S}
 Do I?{S}
 It is taken many years of reflection to come to terms with it, to... forgive what those men did to me.{S}
 I can only imagine what would have happened had the clan not saved me from them.{S}
 I owe them my life for that.{S}
 I would cry myself to sleep wishing these men would let me die and join my parents at last.{S}
 It was, though long years of reflection have allowed me to come to terms with it, to put them in perspective.{S}
 I came to the Dalish at a very young age, but I have always retained my curiosity about the world I came from.{S}
 Perhaps there is something I can offer you, instead?{S}
 I can answer any questions you might have.{S}
 You are carrying out an important task for my people; it was selfish of me to impose on you.{S}
 The few towns we have visited in my time have been small.{S}
 I find it hard to visualize something so large and... permanent.{S}
 I try to imagine those of our people living in such a place, surrounded by walls of stone and indifference.{S}
 It is said that one day, we will have a land of our own.{S}
 I... have a question, if it is not too impolite to ask.{S}
 Do your people... regret what they did to ours?{S}
 If it has not happened in their lifetime, it is a nebulous concept assigned to the past.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I cannot deny, however, that we have been dealt an unjust blow... what could we have done to deserve such a fate?{S}
 Even if only some were in favor of what was done to us, the rest did nothing to stop it.{S}
 When that day comes, all elves--even those who have forgotten--will reclaim their former glory.{S}
 Have you not seen how the elves live amongst your kind?{S}
 I thought, you being elven, that you might... have personal knowledge of such things.{S}
 I have one more question, though I am not sure you can answer it.{S}
 Do the humans... ever regret... what they did to us?{S}
 But you do not need me to quote poetry to you.{S}
 Perhaps you have some questions of your own.{S}
 And yet even if some regret, they do nothing.{S}
 I suppose you must have met many of my kind in your travels.{S}
 Curiosity simply got the best of me.{S}
 The keeper teaches us that humans have little regard for history and less for the consequences of their actions.{S}
 You have my sympathies.{S}
 Yes, I suppose that would be a better life than many elves have.{S}
 Why do they stay, do you think?{S}
 I would not be so harsh as that, but you know them better than I do.{S}
 I had not thought of that.{S}
 They must take joy in the home they have now, though they may not remember the homeland we once had.{S}
 I do not think I can leave the clan.{S}
 That is a kind offer, but my work is here.{S}
 One day, the keeper will be no more and I must be ready to lead our clan forward.{S}
 I do.{S}
 We have a noble goal.{S}
 I have little say in my future.{S}
 Being accustomed to pain and suffering does not make it any less tragic.{S}
 No doubt I would not even find my way.{S}
 My name is Lanaya, Zathrian's first.{S}
 I hear your clan has moved on to the north, and that you are now one of the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Allow me to congratulate you for stepping into a world that few of our people even dream of.{S}
 I wish I could do the same.{S}
 I have many duties here, my friend.{S}
 Perhaps... since you have traveled in the outside world yourself, might I ask you a question or two?{S}
 I have too many duties to my clan to do more than dream of such travels.{S}
 I would never leave my clan if I had the slightest choice, but the thought of adventuring in the wider world does have its appeal.{S}
 If you could have stayed with your clan and done none of it at all, would you have?{S}
 If having freedom to choose also meant abandoning your destiny--would you have?{S}
 I have so many things running around in my head sometimes that it seems I can think of little else.{S}
 That is not the answer I would have expected.{S}
 Have you another question?{S}
 Is there something else you needed?{S}
 If the cure can be found, I hope it is found quickly.{S}
 Without your aid, our friends would all have become sick.{S}
 At least you brought Deygan's body back.{S}
 It pains me to think of all the other elves out there whom we will not get to bury.{S}
 I have a question.{S}
 About what you did to Cammen and Gheyna...{S}
 I am told you were instrumental in bringing our Cammen and Gheyna together.{S}
 There is no need to deny it, though according to our traditions, Cammen is still da'len: a child.{S}
 Although it would have been better had Cammen got the pelt himself.{S}
 We try to teach our young to wean themselves off the impatience that humans suffer from.{S}
 But there is no real harm in what you did.{S}
 I do not doubt your intentions were good.{S}
 It would have been better if Cammen got is own pelt, do not you agree?{S}
 Not strictly speaking, though I am certain it would have been better had Cammen got the pelt himself.{S}
 If you have need of equipment, I am sure Master Varathorn can help you.{S}
 That apology would prove more effective had I not already warned you.{S}
 Please do not lie to me; I find it most unbecoming.{S}
 Surely even in your clan, there were things the keeper kept private.{S}
 Please, do not ask again.{S}
 You have betrayed the trust of my clan and, no doubt, stolen from us.{S}
 Go, do what you said you would, and bother me no more.{S}
 That you are Dalish makes your actions all the more baffling.{S}
 I cannot believe you took the time to befriend me.{S}
 I do not want them back.{S}
 If you need so much assistance with your mission in the forest, keep them.{S}
 Even if that is true, you should not have opened the chest.{S}
 I warned you, did not I?{S}
 I have nothing to say to you.{S}
 If you are truly here to help my clan, then please do so.{S}
 It is done.{S}
 The essence of the wolf's heart appears to have banished all trace of the cursed blood from the hunters.{S}
 It is too bad that Zathrian had to die.{S}
 Whatever you did in the forest, it seems to have pushed back the werewolves.{S}
 Zathrian did not like to talk about that.{S}
 Let me say it officially, then: I hereby swear to uphold the terms of the ancient contract our people formed with the Grey Wardens.{S}
 As promised, allow me to swear by the name of Mythal, He Who Watches, that we are indebted to you.{S}
 It has been a long time since the Dalish marched to war... but I trust that, in the end, we shall make a difference for you.{S}
 It is done.{S}
 The essence of the wolf's heart has banished all traces of cursed blood from the hunters.{S}
 With luck, we will soon be able to join you.{S}
 We are making arrangements to build equipment and gather as many of the Dalish together as we can.{S}
 Do I look like I am here to entertain you?{S}
 Zathrian says he needs to see you right away.{S}
 He said that he needed something for the sick.{S}
 What has he lost?{S}
 What does a keeper do, exactly?{S}
 Is there no way to get on your clan's good side?{S}
 But you could get your lifespan back, no?{S}
 Did not Arlathan fight back?{S}
 But the elves were eventually freed, right?{S}
 But you do not worship the Maker?{S}
 Does Arlathan still exist?{S}
 But I am not responsible for what is been done to the elves.{S}
 How did you become a keeper?{S}
 What did Zathrian think of that?{S}
 Do they resent your success?{S}
 Did not you have family you could have returned to?{S}
 How did you come to the Dalish if you were so young?{S}
 You sound very matter-of-fact about it.{S}
 It must have been horrible.{S}
 I have no time for questions.{S}
 We do not pay much attention to it.{S}
 You do not think your people were partly responsible?{S}
 Some of us do.{S}
 I doubt they pay attention to it.{S}
 I think some of them do.{S}
 Little has changed.{S}
 The life I had was ruined by a human nobleman.{S}
 They do not know any better.{S}
 Maybe you should try it.{S}
 They are used to it, just as the humans are.{S}
 Why do not you go and see a city for yourself?{S}
 Thank you; it has been an interesting adventure.{S}
 I had little choice in the matter.{S}
 Is this where I get a lecture?{S}
 No, I had nothing to do with that.{S}
 But he was not allowed to go into the forest.{S}
 Zathrian said that I could have what is inside here.{S}
 Fine, I do not care.{S}
 Zathrian said the clan would provide me whatever I needed.{S}
 Here, I can give those things back to you.{S}
 But I did not take anything!{S}
 I do not think there will be any more attacks.{S}
 Did you know about his connection to the curse?{S}
 He was a hero in the end, Lanaya.{S}
 The Dalish have camped in this spot.{S}
 And now you do.{S}
 It makes no difference, however, for you are unwelcome in our camp.{S}
 We have neither an inn for you to rest in nor bread to share.{S}
 Do you see a tavern about?{S}
 We are not in the business of bartering with outsiders, regardless of whatever wealth you claim to have.{S}
 Go back the way you came, and do so quickly.{S}
 Yet trusting outsiders always ends up with our people being enslaved or driven from their homes.{S}
 We have always defended ourselves, when necessary.{S}
 Move on and there will be no need for either of us to fight.{S}
 I find that hard to believe.{S}
 What business could we Dalish possibly have with a shemlen?{S}
 Considering what our people have suffered at the hands of outsiders, your surprise is remarkable.{S}
 The business you claim to have with us is.{S}
 Considering our homeland has been destroyed twice by your people, I find your surprise remarkable.{S}
 We occasionally sell our wares to the merchants in the local shemlen villages.{S}
 There is none to take advantage of.{S}
 Sleep in the forest, if you wish, but do so far away from here.{S}
 How do I know you are telling the truth?{S}
 I do not appreciate your tone.{S}
 I will, however, take you to the keeper and let him decide for himself.{S}
 In the camp, I suggest you keep your hands to yourself and remember that our arrows are still trained on you.{S}
 I do not trust your word, but I shall allow the keeper to decide for himself the truth of what you say.{S}
 I shall bring you to the keeper.{S}
 Perhaps I shall let the keeper decide for himself.{S}
 I find that hard to believe.{S}
 What business could we Dalish possibly have with a durgen'len--a dwarf?{S}
 I find that hard to believe.{S}
 What business could we Dalish possibly have with a group like yours?{S}
 You have come a long way.{S}
 I give you the welcome of our clan.{S}
 What brings you so far, friend?{S}
 I will take you to the keeper, then.{S}
 I shall take you to the keeper, then.{S}
 We... cannot offer you the hospitality you deserve, I am afraid.{S}
 I will take you to our keeper...{S}
 You... have joined their ranks?{S}
 I will take you to the keeper right away.{S}
 These are curious companions you have.{S}
 Hold, outsider.{S}
 And now you do.{S}
 If you have no purpose here, then I suggest you turn around and return whence you came.{S}
 And we do not react well to outsiders.{S}
 I would die to protect my clan... though it need not come to that, I hope.{S}
 Yes, you do.{S}
 We are in no position to offer hospitality right now, even to a flat-ear.{S}
 Unless you have other business, I suggest you go.{S}
 Not unless I know you have good reason to do so.{S}
 I will take you to the keeper and he can decide if your business is sufficient to remain in the camp.{S}
 We occasionally sell our wares to the shemlen merchants in their towns.{S}
 If you want our goods, seek them out there.{S}
 You may be elven, but I do not know you.{S}
 I will bring you to the keeper, then, and he can decide if your business is worthwhile.{S}
 Have you lost your way or have you new business with my clan, outsider?{S}
 See that you do not get lost again.{S}
 Have you lost your way?{S}
 I thought you had decided to return whence you came.{S}
 Our history has been one of persecution, after all.{S}
 Not that I would expect an outsider to understand, but there you have it.{S}
 We do what we must.{S}
 You might have just told me you were a Grey Warden and saved me the grief, though I suppose I can hardly blame your caution.{S}
 Had we known a Grey Warden was coming, we might have arranged a different reception.{S}
 Very little, to tell the truth, for we have established a fearsome reputation amongst the shemlen.{S}
 It seems the keeper has charged you with a difficult task.{S}
 Do you feel up to it?{S}
 Several of our hunters have not returned from the Brecilian Forest.{S}
 That one of our own people comes to us in our hour of need gives us great comfort.{S}
 You will find yourself welcome here.{S}
 Surely the Creators have sent you to us.{S}
 Surely the Creators have directed you to us.{S}
 We are not used to outsiders walking amongst us, remember.{S}
 I have enough to worry about looking for enemies from without, never mind those from within.{S}
 How odd that you would choose to involve yourself.{S}
 At least we have something happy to celebrate.{S}
 Had I known you would meddle so, I never would have allowed you entry.{S}
 It is sad that Deygan had to die, but at least you brought him back to us.{S}
 I am pleased that you brought Deygan back to us safe.{S}
 We need every hunter we can find, now.{S}
 We need every hunter we have; your efforts are most appreciated.{S}
 I understand we will be joining you in battle as soon as the hunters have recovered.{S}
 I had no idea there were Dalish here.{S}
 I have good coin, and plenty of it.{S}
 I do not take kindly to threats.{S}
 But I have business with your people!{S}
 There is no need to defend yourself.{S}
 I have business with your people.{S}
 Actually, I have been looking for the Dalish.{S}
 No wonder the Dalish have such a poor reputation.{S}
 I am interested in buying fine Dalish wares.{S}
 I was hoping to take advantage of your hospitality.{S}
 Let me into your camp <emp>now</emp>!{S}
 You will have to take my word on it.{S}
 Many people go about pretending to be Grey Wardens, do they?{S}
 I seek the clan's hospitality.{S}
 I have come on behalf of the Grey Wardens, sister.{S}
 I had no idea there were any Dalish here.{S}
 And what will you do if I do not?{S}
 I do not react well to threats.{S}
 I do not think I need to explain that to you.{S}
 I would like to take advantage of your hospitality.{S}
 Why can not you offer me hospitality?{S}
 I have business with your leader, actually.{S}
 I have no time for your attitude!{S}
 Take me to the keeper now!{S}
 I <emp>do</emp> have business with your clan, actually.{S}
 Do others truly trouble you so much?{S}
 You seem to go out of your way seeking it.{S}
 I shall do my best.{S}
 We do not see many of our city brethren here in the woods.{S}
 Join us by the fire.{S}
 You have one in your own clan I assume?{S}
 How lucky you are to have been reared with his tales.{S}
 I would have liked to see what kind of shemlen would so readily follow a Dalish.{S}
 Do you suppose you have been made a Grey Warden simply to get our assistance?{S}
 Have you any idea of what the--{S}
 Our losses have been great and I am... not myself.{S}
 The hahren's own wife has perished from the werewolf's curse.{S}
 These have not been easy days for us, and the idea that we may yet have to abandon our ill to their fate...{S}
 But let us not dwell on our problems.{S}
 Is there something we can do to help you in your quest?{S}
 We know only what Zathrian has told us over the years.{S}
 Other than not to get bitten?{S}
 As you know, they can shapeshift into wolves, allowing them to hide amidst the true wolves.{S}
 The hunters say they have strength and speed far beyond what is ordinary, and are as tough as such beasts come.{S}
 But in the end, a blade kills them as surely as it does any other.{S}
 What you need to fear is their bite.{S}
 If you are infected, you are done... though not right away, and not all at once.{S}
 Some of us have wondered.{S}
 I do not believe he would.{S}
 But even the wisest of men do not always see the truth in front of them, nor do they always wish to.{S}
 Our clan has passed this way many times before, even when the shemlen lived in these parts.{S}
 You need something else from us, or no?{S}
 I should not have suspected otherwise.{S}
 Better her suffering be ended now than for her to have become a... a beast.{S}
 Oh, you do, do you?{S}
 No offense, young one, but you do not know half the--{S}
 They had no way of knowing that!{S}
 For all we know, you could have--{S}
 Then why did you not bring them?{S}
 How remarkable that a Dalish has become so important amongst the shemlen.{S}
 Pleased to meet you.{S}
 Nice... campfire you have, there.{S}
 I do find it odd that any of your kind would so readily follow one of the Dalish.{S}
 An entire group of our hunters went into the forest to do as you intend, and they have not returned.{S}
 How encouraging to see it in our time of need!{S}
 What were we doing trying to solve our own problems?{S}
 Would you refuse our hunters help simply because of the hand that offered it? <desc>Sigh</desc> You shame me, lethallan.{S}
 I have allowed my bitterness to cloud my better judgment.{S}
 It is most difficult to forget the lessons these shemlen have taught us.{S}
 Perhaps I can yet make amends.{S}
 I certainly do not want to keep you from your promises, however, so by all means.{S}
 The people of the Imperium came here and gave the forest its name.{S}
 If they found traces of our ancestors, we cannot say.{S}
 If they did, those elves were slain or enslaved.{S}
 It changes as it wills, closing paths behind you and opening up new ones.{S}
 They have had no new blood... until now, that is.{S}
 It is said that one or two have turned already, though the keeper denies it.{S}
 He says that Witherfang does not age as the werewolves do.{S}
 Join us.{S}
 I think I do.{S}
 Do not be frightened of the outsiders.{S}
 Now... where do you suppose such a tale should begin?{S}
 Long ago, our people were slaves to an empire the shemlen had built on the darkest magic.{S}
 They took away our history and our language and left us nothing.{S}
 And then that empire fell and we were freed.{S}
 Because Andraste came with her army and Shartan joined her!{S}
 And when the rebellion came to an end, we were given a new homeland in the west: the Dales.{S}
 We began to rebuild the culture and history we had lost in our years of slavery.{S}
 We worshipped the Creators and made the Dales our home.{S}
 Do you know what happened to the Dales?{S}
 The shemlen would not let us be.{S}
 Oh, I am certain we played a part in our downfall.{S}
 They took our lands, forcing us to abandon our gods and live as beggars in shemlen cities.{S}
 But there were those of us who refused to abandon our ways.{S}
 They emblazoned the symbols of the Creators upon their flesh and vowed to keep their ancient lore alive.{S}
 We chose to wander, homeless, rather than be ruled by the shemlen.{S}
 And all our clans wander alone until the day we have a homeland once more.{S}
 Then we bring the old ways back to our people because they have forgotten it all.{S}
 Thank you for allowing us to tell it to you.{S}
 You are the guest here, and one who may yet prove of great help to our ailing hunters.{S}
 Do you wish to hear it?{S}
 Did not we?{S}
 You always have a choice.{S}
 I am glad you chose to listen.{S}
 A history that has been dictated by the victors, no doubt.{S}
 The Dales shall have to wait for another time, then.{S}
 What do you say, child?{S}
 But you do not?{S}
 You must know a great deal more than we.{S}
 We started the war, did we?{S}
 What do you believe happened to the Dales?{S}
 Come and join us, then, all of you.{S}
 This outsider has done us little good, but would you turn away help for our people simply because of the hand that offered it?{S}
 Perhaps you do not.{S}
 Why Zathrian allows you to remain in our camp, I cannot imagine.{S}
 You have been remarkably kind to us, for an outsider.{S}
 Then perhaps I should be silent and allow an outsider to decide our fate.{S}
 Creators willing, they have been so kind to our people in the past.{S}
 Is there something you need?{S}
 Join us, if you like.{S}
 That is a fine thing you did for Athras.{S}
 He would have worried forever had you not put his mind at ease.{S}
 I hear you had a hand in saving the halla.{S}
 I am not sure what we would do without them.{S}
 A petty thing for you to do.{S}
 Strange that you should take the time to involve yourself in that affair, of all things.{S}
 I expect we will be burying plenty more before these days are done.{S}
 You did it, outsider.{S}
 Now Keeper Lanaya prepares for us to enter into war alongside the humans.{S}
 Do you now?{S}
 Let us hope you return and tell us all about them.{S}
 I would like a happy ending to his tale.{S}
 One of our own Dalish has saved us from the ravages of the curse after all!{S}
 Join us at the fire if you like, but haven't you got a war to get to?{S}
 What do you know about werewolves?{S}
 Do they have any strange abilities?{S}
 How does one fight them?{S}
 If they are so mindless, how did they ambush you?{S}
 If I am lucky, maybe I can find them.{S}
 That is all I need to know.{S}
 Have the hunters become werewolves?{S}
 What does that have to do with the werewolves?{S}
 Perhaps you will allow me to tell a story, as well?{S}
 No, I am done here.{S}
 You did not give me much choice.{S}
 It is a war that you started, I am told.{S}
 I do not like where this is going.{S}
 I am done.{S}
 You started a war with us and lost.{S}
 I haven't done anything to deserve this, have I?{S}
 You think sarcasm is going to help, do you?{S}
 Your attitude is getting annoying.{S}
 Let us just say his time had come.{S}
 I do not know if I would say that.{S}
 Yes, I believe he did.{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 You have warped the wood completely?{S}
 Did you leave it out in the rain?{S}
 I think I just used too much heat...{S}
 It requires patience and delicate hands, not more heat!{S}
 My actions bring me sorrow, Master Varathorn.{S}
 Throw away your dead wood and start anew, and I shall speak to our guest.{S}
 Is there something that you need?{S}
 Leave us to our work, please.{S}
 I am no merchant, but let us trade.{S}
 I am no merchant, but I have plenty that you may need.{S}
 What little of the craft I have learned has been passed onto me through generations, such is the time it has taken us to learn a fraction of what has been lost.{S}
 I do not make bows as fine as Master Ilen's, perhaps, but mine have caused more than one shemlen to drool at the thought of possessing them.{S}
 In truth, we Dalish know little of the art compared to what we once did, and even what we know has taken us many lifetimes to achieve.{S}
 There is wood that, if treated properly, is as hard as steel but far lighter.{S}
 The keeper has forbidden us from entering the forest to collect the wood.{S}
 This means I cannot make our finest crafts for years to come.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 What else do you need?{S}
 Ah, but no matter.{S}
 Now... what do you need from me?{S}
 You can only harvest the bark which has fallen off the tree from age.{S}
 If you find some, bring it to me and I will craft it for you.{S}
 And I did not ask for a promise.{S}
 I excel in making blades from the ironbark, or... or perhaps a breastplate?{S}
 Provided there is enough wood, that is.{S}
 With the coming battle, we have no time to go into the forest and search for some.{S}
 This means I cannot make some of our finest crafts for years to come.{S}
 I took the liberty of assembling some goods that our hunters use.{S}
 There is a large chest by the aravel where I put everything we could spare.{S}
 Feel free to sort through it and take whatever you need.{S}
 I notice you have already found the chest I placed it in.{S}
 Feel free to sort through and take whatever you found there... if you have not done so already.{S}
 I have nothing left that the clan could spare, but... we do have goods that we were going to bring to the shemlen villages to barter with.{S}
 Take what equipment you wish from the chest and go.{S}
 I met your father, for he was once keeper of your clan.{S}
 You carry many of his features.{S}
 He spoke at a gathering, telling the clans that more of us need to voyage into the shemlen world and learn their ways.{S}
 Our people speak so little of the dead, especially those who end in... in tragedy.{S}
 He spoke at a gathering, telling the clans that more of us need to voyage into the shemlen world and learn their ways.{S}
 Is there anything I might do to help you in your task?{S}
 It has been some years since I met Master Ilen at the last gathering.{S}
 As you wish, though I find such an attitude curious.{S}
 Your clan is more familiar to us than most, since we do not stray far from each other in this land.{S}
 To you I speak only because the keeper requires it.{S}
 You offer to aid my clan, but so far all you have brought to us is mischief.{S}
 We do not require perfection.{S}
 Simply live up to your promise and do not wreak havoc in our home.{S}
 I do not intend to trade more words with you.{S}
 I require no explanation.{S}
 It is we who are showing patience by continuing to allow your presence here.{S}
 You have not helped us yet at all.{S}
 All you have given us are empty promises.{S}
 What do you wish?{S}
 I told Elora it was better to end it sooner than later, but the halla are her province.{S}
 Come, apprentice... let us begin.{S}
 And we are done.{S}
 The apprentice did an excellent job, I think.{S}
 Let me see.{S}
 Well done!{S}
 But... that is an unreasonable amount of crafting to expect just for finding the wood!{S}
 I will do no such thing!{S}
 I am willing to overlook your greed and still make an item for you, as promised.{S}
 Here, then... take these shemlen coins for the wood.{S}
 I offered you a deal.{S}
 I am certain the wood does no good in your hands.{S}
 It is much to ask, but if you aid my clan as you say, then I have no objection.{S}
 I had resigned myself to having none at all.{S}
 And what good does it do in your hands?{S}
 I am still willing to make an item for you, as per our deal.{S}
 Have you a preference?{S}
 It is much to ask, but for you I am willing to work so much of the art.{S}
 And I have reformed the wood to my will.{S}
 A Dalish longbow and a breastplate for you... may they serve you well.{S}
 Then keep your wood if it will do you so much good!{S}
 I had already resigned myself to a few years without.{S}
 Keep your wood and begone.{S}
 And neither do you.{S}
 Begone and take your greed with you.{S}
 You have my thanks and the thanks of my clan for this gift.{S}
 I will not allow your generosity to go without at least some reward.{S}
 I shall make something of the wood you bring.{S}
 I have reformed the wood to my will.{S}
 It is but a small token of our gratitude, but take it with my blessing.{S}
 I see that you have not lost your Dalish roots in the time you have spent with the humans.{S}
 And I have reformed the wood to my will.{S}
 A Dalish breastplate for you... may it serve you well.{S}
 Watch if you prefer, it will not take long.{S}
 And I have reformed the wood to my will.{S}
 A Dalish longbow for you... may it serve you well.{S}
 Have you need of something?{S}
 We are working hard to make enough equipment for all of the hunters.{S}
 Our armaments will be superior to anything else you find on the battlefield.{S}
 What exactly do you make here?{S}
 What if I found some ironbark for you?{S}
 Very well, I will take a look when I am in the forest.{S}
 What kind of item would you make?{S}
 I really do not care what he might have thought.{S}
 I do not have time to discuss niceties with you.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You are beginning to wear my patience.{S}
 I am beginning to wonder why I help you at all.{S}
 Elora told me I could bring these horns to you.{S}
 I found some ironbark for you.{S}
 Just keep your wood.{S}
 Either do it or you do not get the wood, period.{S}
 You would not have any wood at all if not for me, remember?{S}
 I did not mean to act so greedily.{S}
 I require nothing.{S}
 Take the wood and use it well.{S}
 All right, one item will do.{S}
 Take the wood, already.{S}
 I do not believe you.{S}
 Then you do not get anything at all.{S}
 I am sure your clan needs it more than I do.{S}
 I see we have a guest.{S}
 I have precious little patience and less time to spend on outsiders today.{S}
 I see we have guests.{S}
 I have precious little patience and less time to spend on outsiders today.{S}
 I understand, but this one claims to have important business with our people.{S}
 Tell me, stranger, what business could you possibly have with us?{S}
 We have our own issues we must deal with, as you can see.{S}
 Answer the question or you will quickly find out exactly how hollow your threats are.{S}
 You might have simply said so to begin with.{S}
 Now, allow me to introduce myself.{S}
 I had already sensed the corruption spreading in the south.{S}
 I would have taken the clan north by now, had we the ability to move.{S}
 Sadly, as you can see, we do not.{S}
 This will require some... explanation.{S}
 Unfortunately, we may not be able to live up to the promise we made.{S}
 Do not allow our troubles to burden you, though I suspect they may impact your mission.{S}
 If you came to bring news of the Blight in the south, it is not needed.{S}
 I had already sensed its corruption.{S}
 Have you come to spread news of the Blight?{S}
 I see we have a guest... and one of our own, no less.{S}
 Tell me, what business might you have with us?{S}
 As you see, we have our own issues to deal with.{S}
 I find that hard to believe.{S}
 You needn't fear my anger, but I do require the truth.{S}
 This one is from one of our sister clans to the north, Keeper, but claims to have come on behalf of the Grey Wardens.{S}
 How unusual that one of our own should join their ranks.{S}
 How did such a thing occur?{S}
 Very well, let us speak.{S}
 I find it difficult to believe.{S}
 At the moment, I am afraid I have little time to spare for long tales.{S}
 We are always wary of the dangers in the forest, but we did not expect the werewolves would be lying in wait for us.{S}
 They... ambushed us, and though we drove the beasts back, much damage was done.{S}
 Not enough to make a difference for you and not simultaneously leave us defenseless.{S}
 It was within him that the curse originated, and through his blood that it has been spread.{S}
 And you would have our gratitude...{S}
 Few have who are not one of our own.{S}
 This <emp>attitude</emp> has been burned into our souls after long years of slavery and oppression.{S}
 We have very little of the coin your people use, but we do craft items they find valuable.{S}
 Return with the heart and I will give you something extra that I am sure you will have no trouble selling.{S}
 Where there is so much death, the Veil separating the spirit realm from our own becomes thin, allowing spirits to possess things living or dead.{S}
 If he is killed and his heart brought to me, perhaps I could destroy the curse, but this task has proven too dangerous for us.{S}
 Do you truly think they have time to spare for us?{S}
 There is no guarantee that this will work as I suspect, but it is the only hope we have left.{S}
 They are savage and unrelenting; they need no reason to attack anyone.{S}
 The ambush suggests a level of intelligence we have never seen before.{S}
 What is it you need?{S}
 Have you news?{S}
 I must return to caring for my people.{S}
 I will instruct him to put aside some supplies for you, the kind that the hunters use.{S}
 Make them quick, if you please.{S}
 I have much to do, here.{S}
 My apprentice, Lanaya, or Sarel, the clan's storyteller, could provide you with answers just as easily.{S}
 We call those possessed trees "sylvans"... the only ones I have ever encountered were little more than berserk killers.{S}
 If so, I have heard of such a man, a blood mage hiding from the Circle of Magi.{S}
 He built a tower in the forest long ago, and then it disappeared mysteriously... and I assumed he along with it.{S}
 The forest itself is leading you astray, then.{S}
 I was not aware they have names.{S}
 Even if they could speak, I doubt they would have anything worthwhile to say.{S}
 The werewolves are unimportant: it is Witherfang whom you must seek out.{S}
 And if they keep you from him, then your course is clear.{S}
 I think you can see for yourself what the end result of such a venture would be.{S}
 The same grudge they hold against any who trespass in the forest, I imagine.{S}
 That is a long tale I do not have time to tell.{S}
 You will know within a matter of days.{S}
 You will begin to sweat and vomit and, most tellingly, your temper will become wild and uncontrollable.{S}
 If that happens to you, you should seek out Witherfang even more swiftly.{S}
 The ones from this forest, however, do.{S}
 Even if she did, whatever existed that was Danyla is still dead.{S}
 Please do not give Athras false hope in this, he will accept the truth in time.{S}
 Athras is a grief-stricken man, who seeks hope that does not exist.{S}
 He will accept what has happened, in time.{S}
 And what did she have to say?{S}
 I have.{S}
 I have lost much to these werewolves, and now they are about to take even more from me.{S}
 I do not wish to dwell on the past.{S}
 That is all you need to know, and should adequately explain my hatred of them, no?{S}
 Let us leave it at that.{S}
 For now, only a few of us have regained that ability.{S}
 Athras needs to accept that.{S}
 She spoke, did she?{S}
 Still, she is doomed in the end.{S}
 I hope you put her out of her misery.{S}
 I hope it ends there and you do not tell Athras.{S}
 Please... just do what you came here to do.{S}
 Athras should not have known of it, poor man.{S}
 Please, just do what you came here to do.{S}
 I have led my clan for many generations; I know their needs better than you.{S}
 I hope it brought him some peace and not more pain.{S}
 Still, I do not think it was really for you to judge.{S}
 Mithra brought Deygan's body to me.{S}
 We are preparing him for burial.{S}
 Deygan was engaged to be married soon...{S}
 His bride-to-be gave me this gem from her betrothal necklace to pass on to you.{S}
 She would prefer you have it, instead, in thanks.{S}
 I was able to heal his wounds, and he has not developed the curse.{S}
 If you have not spoken to him already, you should seek him out.{S}
 Have you any other news?{S}
 We are building equipment and gathering as many of the Dalish together as we can.{S}
 But it will be some time before we can join you.{S}
 You will listen to what I have to say until I am finished, elf.{S}
 You do not need to know who I am.{S}
 Does that mean you are in charge here?{S}
 My name is <FirstName/>, a pleasure to meet you.{S}
 They need all the assistance they can get.{S}
 Surely you must have some warriors to spare.{S}
 If I help you, what will you give me?{S}
 Good, let us hope you do not forget it.{S}
 I will find this Witherfang for you.{S}
 Have you considered seeking outside help?{S}
 Why did these beasts attack you?{S}
 I need some equipment.{S}
 I have some questions for you.{S}
 Have you ever encountered a rhyming oak tree in the forest?{S}
 Do you know anything about a strange hermit in the forest?{S}
 Do you know anything about a werewolf named Swiftrunner?{S}
 Did you know that some of the werewolves can speak?{S}
 Have you tried talking to them at all?{S}
 They seem to have some grudge against your people.{S}
 How did this curse start?{S}
 How do you know if you have been infected by the curse?{S}
 So did all werewolves everywhere stem from Witherfang?{S}
 How do I find Witherfang?{S}
 Do you have any advice?{S}
 You sound like you have been asked that before.{S}
 Did she become a werewolf first?{S}
 Athras does not seem to think so.{S}
 She said that you have been keeper for a very long time.{S}
 I actually met another werewolf who spoke, as well.{S}
 She told me the werewolves had overcome the curse.{S}
 Why did not you just tell him what happened?{S}
 I was more interested in what she had to say.{S}
 I found one of your hunters in the forest. <desc>This campsite appears remarkably intact.{S}
 The tents and bedrolls are covered with leaves, but are dry and whole.</desc> <desc>You get no hint of danger, though it strikes you as odd that the camp is abandoned.{S}
 Perhaps searching the camp will give more clues as to its nature.</desc>{S}
 This must be a secluded spot, does not it agree?{S}
 Did this belong to the elven hunters?{S}
 Whoever built this must still be here.{S}
 Whoever this belonged to must have just recently abandoned it.{S}
 The werewolves would not use such a camp, would they?{S}
 It might not be a bad idea to take a look around, perhaps.{S}
 We do not know what happened to the owners.{S}
 A lucky find.{S}
 It must have been abandoned not long ago.{S}
 It does seem like the werewolves haven't been here.{S}
 It does seem odd, does not it?{S}
 I do not see any tracks around.{S}
 Keep an eye out.{S}
 This does look like an ideal place to camp, I must admit.{S}
 Where are the ones who set it up?{S}
 More suspicious than inviting. <desc>As you turn to leave, you find your steps growing leaden.{S}
 It has been a long journey, perhaps it is safe to rest here?</desc> <desc>You struggle to remain awake, taking each step after the other slowly.{S}
 There is a force at work here.{S}
 I did not feel it earlier, but now...{S}
 I am having trouble moving.{S}
 Do you feel that?{S}
 Is the forest doing that?{S}
 If we are careful, we could use this camp, could not we?{S}
 You know, if it is all the same to you, why do not we sit down a while?{S}
 Why let this camp go to waste? <desc>You start to turn around, but the fog does not quite take hold of your mind.{S}
 As if it were a dream, the vision of the campground dissipates!</desc> <desc>Before you is a cold and long-dead campsite filled with bones of the many travelers who have been lured here by a shade... which now angrily lunges toward you!</desc> <desc>Gathering your will, you shake off the delirium which clouds your mind and suddenly, the vision of the campground dissipates before your very eyes!</desc>{S}
 I need to turn around and... no!{S}
 Have to... get out of here!{S}
 I am... trying to resist it... so strong, I can not...{S}
 We need to get out... no matter how hard!{S}
 Need to sleep...{S}
 We need to resist it!{S}
 Let us not fight it.{S}
 Let us turn around and see what happens.{S}
 Yes, we should... use the camp.{S}
 We need to... sleep...{S}
 It has been untended for several hours at most.{S}
 You start to nod off, but your willpower keeps you moving...</desc>{S}
 There is a power at work here...{S}
 It... makes us weak...{S}
 I sense magic at work.{S}
 Do not... look in the fire.{S}
 Maybe we should tend that... get the flames going, you know, cook something.{S}
 I need to get away from this!{S}
 We need to get away from this, now! <desc>You examine the bedroll.{S}
 Mmmm, do you feel that?{S}
 These bedrolls look... mmmm... do you feel that?{S}
 To think, I usually pay good coin to get this kind of sensation...{S}
 I did not realize I was so tired.{S}
 Or... did I just say that? <desc>You turn away from the bedroll, but only reluctantly.{S}
 Do you feel it?{S}
 Keep moving.{S}
 I find it difficult to move.{S}
 I need to stay awake!{S}
 Let us look around some more.{S}
 We need to stay awake.{S}
 What a pleasant place to rest your head...</desc> <desc>It takes all your strength to step back from the tent.{S}
 How simple it would be to give in and stay in this simple camp...</desc>{S}
 Strange and malevolent power... but my, that does look inviting...{S}
 Strong magic is at work here.{S}
 I do not like this.{S}
 Do not... go in there.{S}
 Something is dreadfully wrong here... <desc>It takes all your strength to step back from the tent.{S}
 The elven hunters did not make this camp.{S}
 Yet I do not feel very bloody concerned about that.{S}
 The elven hunters did not set this up.{S}
 I want to do nothing but remain. <desc>You cannot look inside the tent without coming close to falling unconscious.{S}
 It is all you can do to turn away from it now.</desc>{S}
 I need to stay alert!{S}
 I need to go.{S}
 We need to stay alert.{S}
 We need to go. <desc>With the shade destroyed, the fog seems to lift.{S}
 I have been cursed, turned into this... this creature...{S}
 The werewolves, they... took me in.{S}
 But I had to return.{S}
 I had to!{S}
 Do you know of my clan?{S}
 Do you know of my clan?{S}
 Have you... seen my clan?{S}
 Please, tell me, have you seen my clan?{S}
 Then... perhaps they have left?{S}
 No, please let it not be so...{S}
 Then... you seek Witherfang.{S}
 I-I do not understand.{S}
 I have very little time...{S}
 I know why you seek him.{S}
 I have, but... it is not what you think.{S}
 My name is Danyla.{S}
 Please, you must... bring him a message.{S}
 The scarf I wear... bring it to him.{S}
 I want... to give Athras peace...{S}
 I do not wish him to suffer...{S}
 End it for me!{S}
 End it quickly!{S}
 I will... end it myself! rrr!!{S}
 Please... end it now!{S}
 If you promise... to end my pain.{S}
 They have... overcome the curse.{S}
 Like I have.{S}
 You may find them there.{S}
 Magic... will not work against... the curse!{S}
 You must end it!{S}
 Please do not... let him suffer thinking of me.{S}
 No, I have met no Dalish on my travels.{S}
 No, I have met no other Dalish recently.{S}
 I need you to answer some questions.{S}
 I can try to bring you back to the Dalish for help.{S}
 Let me try to heal you.{S}
 I do.{S}
 Have you seen him?{S}
 I will end your pain. <act>Kill her</act>{S}
 I need answers, first.{S}
 I still have questions!{S}
 I can not do that.{S}
 I will take you back to the camp.{S}
 I do not have time for that.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 You are a Dalish who has already become a werewolf, then?{S}
 We were sent to find Witherfang... bring his heart... attacked...{S}
 The elf does not seem infected.{S}
 Within a few moments, he is dead.</desc> <desc>The hunter's armor has been all but ripped to shreds.{S}
 I suppose you must have.{S}
 I only vaguely remember you finding me.{S}
 I am very lucky that you did, I think.{S}
 Dalish yourself, though I do not recognize you.{S}
 I... have nothing to offer you that is of value.{S}
 Should you find my people, I am certain the keeper might... reward you?{S}
 No, I am certain I can make it safely back to my people alone.{S}
 But thank you for the offer.{S}
 We found traces, but made no sighting of the beast itself.{S}
 We did not expect them to be so cunning.{S}
 A pleasure to make your acquaintance, then.{S}
 If you had not happened by, I surely would have perished. <desc>A few shakes and the elven hunter starts to come to.{S}
 Some water appears to help as his eyes flutter open.</desc>{S}
 Do they yet live?{S}
 He should be healed or brought back to his people!{S}
 P-please, just... bring me back to... <desc>He falls unconscious once more.</desc> <desc>You cover the hunter's mouth and nose with your hands.{S}
 We did not see the great wolf itself... before the werewolves attacked.{S}
 We tried our best, but... too many... ahhh, the pain!{S}
 My... my name is Deygan.{S}
 I hope that they found safety... though it seems unlikely.{S}
 He does not appear to have any bite marks.</desc> <desc>The elven hunter lies on the ground, bleeding from his wounds.{S}
 I do not want your efforts to go unrewarded.{S}
 I do not want you to go unrewarded for your efforts.{S}
 Here is a gem that the keeper gave my father long ago.{S}
 Then take it, with the blessings of the gods I hope.{S}
 You wish me to keep it?{S}
 I... have nothing.{S}
 You... did not?{S}
 Everything else I had is nothing compared to that.{S}
 I wish you had not attempted to lie to me, but at least you are honest enough to return it.{S}
 The keeper says I need to rest, so I should go and do that.{S}
 Ahhh, then the beasts must have taken it.{S}
 Could I have it back?{S}
 Everything else I had is nothing compared to that.{S}
 I was so fearful that I might have lost this!{S}
 I understand I have you to thank for my rescue from the forest?{S}
 What happened to you? <act>Leave the hunter where he is.</act> <act>Kill him while he is unconscious.</act> <act>Let him live.</act> <act>Kill him anyway.</act> <act>Take the hunter back to the Dalish camp.</act> <act>Check the hunter's equipment.</act> <act>Loot his equipment.</act> <act>Cast a healing spell on him.</act>{S}
 Do you want me to come with you?{S}
 I am <FirstName/> of the Grey Wardens. <act>Try to revive him for questioning.</act>{S}
 I think I will ask the questions here, if you do not mind.{S}
 They got away.{S}
 That is all I needed to know. <act>Kill him</act>{S}
 I should get you back to the camp.{S}
 Did you find any trace of Witherfang?{S}
 Did you find anything of interest in the forest?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 If you mean the bodies I found, then no.{S}
 They died. <act>Examine him.</act> <act>Leave the body where it is.</act> <act>Take the body back to the Dalish camp.</act>{S}
 That will do, yes.{S}
 Keep it, I insist.{S}
 No, I did not.{S}
 I figure it is the least reward I deserve, do not I?{S}
 I did not realize that.{S}
 Here, take it back then.{S}
 Regardless, I do not have it anymore.{S}
 I said I did not find it.{S}
 I did, actually.{S}
 Sorry, I do not have it anymore.{S}
 Intruders have deceived their way into the forest's heart!{S}
 We do not wish any more of our people hurt.{S}
 The Lady believes that you may not be aware of everything you should, and has asked to speak with you.{S}
 The Lady believes that the Dalish have not told you everything, so she has asked that you be brought to her.{S}
 On the contrary, the Lady believes that you may not be aware of everything you should be, so she has asked that you are brought to her.{S}
 I have been sent to you on behalf of the Lady.{S}
 She means you no harm, provided your willingness to parley in peace is an honest one.{S}
 Then it seems we are done.{S}
 But I warn you, if you break your promise and harm her, I will come back from the Fade itself to see you pay.{S}
 Swiftrunner did not think it would matter.{S}
 The Lady disagrees, and since you have forced your way this far, we must acquiesce to her wishes.{S}
 We would not let her.{S}
 You have already proven your strength.{S}
 We have no wish to anger you further.{S}
 I have been sent to parley.{S}
 I have come for Witherfang's heart, nothing less.{S}
 Then take me to this Lady.{S}
 If you were willing to talk, why did not you earlier?{S}
 So why does not this Lady come and speak to me herself?{S}
 And how do I know I will not be walking into another ambush?{S}
 There is no need.{S}
 Why even try?{S}
 I should have heard it in thy tone.{S}
 The woods have never been thy home, 'tis far beneath the earth you roam.{S}
 Long ago, the elves roamed free, their numbers few and passing fast until one eve we saw their last.{S}
 So brief of life and all but blind to the peril you cause, the lives you take, such chaos is sown within thy wake.{S}
 Allow me a moment to welcome thee.{S}
 As thou dost wish it, so it must be.{S}
 A safe journey do I wish for thee.{S}
 Or wait for what the morning brings?{S}
 I have but one acorn: my child, my seed.{S}
 It has been stolen, a vile deed.{S}
 I cannot leave, for I am bound, and thus I beg the thief be found.{S}
 In the center of the forest the weres do dwell, or so go the tales my fellows tell.{S}
 But they cannot be followed there; the forest doth protect the weres.{S}
 Perhaps weres use magic to command the trees?{S}
 Perhaps some ruins remain free of rot.{S}
 The forest had a spirit of its own, from back when its first seeds were sown.{S}
 That is but a human name, one placed upon this land, their claim.{S}
 It was the elves who planted the seeds, raised the forest, saw to its needs.{S}
 I have but one desire, to solve a matter very dire: as I slept one early morn, a thief did come and steal an acorn.{S}
 That is the thief, the one I seek.{S}
 All I have is my being, my seed.{S}
 I cannot go and seek it out; yet I shall die if left without.{S}
 Go to the east to find this man.{S}
 I shall await, do what thou can.{S}
 My wooden skin has some magic, see, and part of it I can give to thee.{S}
 Pray, why wouldst thou kill a tree for nothing that is of use to thee?{S}
 Would'st that I could travel there, I would teach the fool to soon beware!{S}
 This cannot pass without reward; I shall give what little I can afford.{S}
 Keep this branch of mine with thee, and pass throughout the forest free.{S}
 Thou brought my sadness to an end.{S}
 May the sunlight find you, thy days be long, thy winters kind, and thy roots be strong.{S}
 Keep this branch of mine with thee, and pass throughout the forest free.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Why dost thou not?{S}
 Does that make me a poet tree? <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 But then that spirit joined with a tree; since then, a tree is all I be.{S}
 I accept my fated oaken home, I feel no need to rage and roam.{S}
 And what willst thou do?{S}
 This thief has stolen my precious acorn.{S}
 I will have it back, this I have sworn.{S}
 I have nothing to give, and less reason to live.{S}
 Do as thou wilst, my mortal friend.{S}
 If today I die, then so I end.{S}
 How do I speak?{S}
 Now I have answered a query of thine, but thou hast yet to answer mine.{S}
 Why hast thou returned so soon?{S}
 Hast thou changed thy mind about the boon?{S}
 My acorn is still gone, so I pray to thee... hast thou any news for me?{S}
 Then continue thy search, I beg of thee.{S}
 Injustice reigns when thieves run free.{S}
 Then there is naught for me to do but perish as the mortals do.{S}
 I have nothing he desires, I dread, or he would have taken that instead.{S}
 Thou hast not yet left the forest, then?{S}
 Where can I find Witherfang's lair?{S}
 Is there any other way to get to the center of the forest?{S}
 Why do the trees protect them?{S}
 What happened here to make the forest like this?{S}
 I would prefer you helped me find Witherfang.{S}
 I could just take your wood if I wanted it.{S}
 What good will your wood do me?{S}
 Where would I find this thief?{S}
 Do you mean that mad hermit?{S}
 Is this the acorn you seek?{S}
 Why do you speak in rhymes?{S}
 Yes, I get it.{S}
 I have come to kill you.{S}
 Well, I hope you find it.{S}
 What if I found your acorn for you?{S}
 I have heard enough.{S}
 Let us end this here. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 I have your acorn here.{S}
 Not unless you give me a better reason not to.{S}
 Then let us end it here. <act>Attack the tree</act>{S}
 Give me my reward anyhow, before I burn you down.{S}
 The hermit has your acorn, but he will not give it to me.{S}
 I will do my best to get it back, then. <desc>Once again you end up at the beginning of the path.{S}
 The forest is somehow keeping you from reaching its center.</desc>{S}
 Perhaps we should seek another way inside?{S}
 We should find another way.{S}
 No... we are back at the beginning.{S}
 Obviously something is keeping us from finding our way through.{S}
 So what do we need to do?{S}
 Is it magic that is keeping us from getting through the path?{S}
 Why did we try this again when it failed the first time?{S}
 The definition of insanity is to keep performing the same action and yet expecting different results.{S}
 Perhaps we should find another way.{S}
 Maybe it is time to start going in a straight line, right through the blasted trees!{S}
 Yes, let us just keep going down the path.{S}
 Whatever force is turning us around is bound to get bored eventually, right? <desc>After spending some time on the path, it seems you have returned to where you started.</desc>{S}
 I may just be stupid, but is not this right where we started?{S}
 Did we get turned around?{S}
 I could have sworn this is where we started.{S}
 Usually that does not happen until at least my eighth tankard.{S}
 We did not reach the end of the path.{S}
 Somehow it... turned about, and now we are again at the beginning.{S}
 How bizarre. <desc>Sigh</desc> And now we are back at the beginning.{S}
 Is it my imagination, or are we back at the beginning of the path?{S}
 Did you feel that?{S}
 We got turned around somehow.{S}
 We are right back where we started, at the first part of the path.{S}
 I do not think we made any progress.{S}
 We could barely see our way through the mist, and now we are back at the beginning again.{S}
 We are back at the beginning of the path.{S}
 The forest, it seems, does not wish us to reach wherever the path leads.{S}
 They say it was questions that made me mad; will it do the same for you?{S}
 Ask a question and you will get a question, but give an answer and you will receive the same!{S}
 Oh, I do so love to trade! !!{S}
 And if it be an answer, it be an answer to a question I have not asked!{S}
 Have you no sense for the rules?{S}
 Would not I have to ask you a question first?{S}
 Do you see anything that might stop you?{S}
 But those are the rules!{S}
 This is completely against the rules!{S}
 And again you break the rules!{S}
 Why does anyone talk to you if you do not even know the rules?!{S}
 Well, you just let me know if you change your mind.{S}
 I intend to keep digging!{S}
 Because it is my rules! rules!{S}
 So... did you do it?{S}
 They will take your secrets, oh yes.{S}
 I still have the book.{S}
 I still have the helmet, if you like.{S}
 You will have to clean it, though.{S}
 I still have the acorn, if you want it.{S}
 Oh, yes, I still have the acorn and that old book, oh yes.{S}
 I still have that old helmet and the book.{S}
 Let us see...{S}
 I will trade you an acorn, a helmet I found, or a book I finished reading years ago.{S}
 Provided you have something interesting in return.{S}
 And what do you have to trade for the book?{S}
 And what do you have to trade for the helmet?{S}
 And what do you have to trade for the acorn?{S}
 Give me that!{S}
 I once had a ring like that.{S}
 Yes, I will take it.{S}
 Give me that!{S}
 Warm enough to keep my neck from freezing on a cold night when the mice are biting at the toes!{S}
 Give me that!{S}
 Give me that!{S}
 That will do just fine.{S}
 Give me that!{S}
 Learning a good song or two might keep the mice away at night.{S}
 Give me that!{S}
 That might make for good reading by the moonlight.{S}
 Or it will be better than using leaves.{S}
 Give me that!{S}
 Now that is done.{S}
 What else have you got on your agenda, hmm?{S}
 Coin? <desc>Scoffs</desc> What possible use could I have with coin?{S}
 Do you see a moneychanger about?{S}
 You here, that talking tree there, it all makes sense now.{S}
 As a matter of fact, yes, I do have that tree's acorn.{S}
 Silly tree should have locked it up tighter!{S}
 If you want it, you will have to trade me for it.{S}
 I think that answer deserves something a little extra first, do not you?{S}
 So the oak needs to be chopped down.{S}
 Good, that makes this much easier.{S}
 Since you have already gone and killed that nasty old oak tree--I saw the splinters and even did a little jig to celebrate--maybe I will just tell you.{S}
 The secret to getting by the trees... and listen close, now... is to make them think you are one of the wolfmen!{S}
 I have the solution to that!{S}
 I can make you smell like a wolfman!{S}
 And you only need to bring me a werewolf skin.{S}
 Good, you do that.{S}
 That is a terrible thing to say to someone who you need to cast a spell on you.{S}
 Simply one will do, though it will be used up when I cast the spell.{S}
 If you need it cast again afterwards, naturally I will need a new skin.{S}
 Did I stutter?{S}
 It is where the wolfmen have their lair, but the trees will block the path.{S}
 Why do you want to know?{S}
 Did <emp>they</emp> send you?{S}
 Did <emp>they</emp> tell you to ask?{S}
 Did they tell you pretend to be an innocent stranger, with a head full of fluff and nothing?{S}
 I have won! <emp>They</emp> will never find me!{S}
 Never find me never.{S}
 But that is all I have to say about that.{S}
 The forest... it would get them first, it would! <emp>They</emp> will never find me, never!{S}
 So you did!{S}
 Do you know a better way to live in a forest like this? <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Caught by my own rules!{S}
 Have you... ever been in love?{S}
 Maybe they did not send you after all.{S}
 All right, then, if you still have something to ask, ask away.{S}
 Have you been in love?{S}
 Have you ever seen the Grand Cathedral of Val Royeaux?{S}
 I have always wondered what it looked like.{S}
 Have you seen it or not?!{S}
 So that means that you did indeed have a father!{S}
 Let us see... do you have knowledge of the arcane arts?{S}
 You thought to scamper away without suspicion, did you?{S}
 Or did I?{S}
 Or does it?{S}
 If I could tell I would not have to ask you, now, would I?{S}
 Do you have the knowledge or not?{S}
 What is your name?{S}
 They sent you, did not they?{S}
 But you are too tricky, and you are trying to fool me!{S}
 Then you do not get to ask me anything either!{S}
 You do not fool me!{S}
 They sent you, did not they?!{S}
 Well I will not let you take me!!{S}
 Now, let us see.{S}
 I think I have.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Mayhap I did and mayhap I did not!{S}
 Have you come to claim it back?{S}
 But we are getting ahead of ourselves already.{S}
 Mayhap I did and mayhap I did not!{S}
 It does not matter, oh no!{S}
 That dried-up old rhyming stick has been snapped in two!{S}
 But we are getting ahead of ourselves!{S}
 Why do not you go away?!{S}
 So you have, so you have.{S}
 Well, let us see what I can do with this, then.{S}
 And here you are... just keep it with you, and the trees will let you into the center of the forest.{S}
 And do not lose it...{S}
 Have fun with the wolfmen!{S}
 I have only so much blood in this frail body of mine and I intend to keep it there!{S}
 Have you anything interesting to say?{S}
 Are you aware that you killed that bloody oak that has been irritating me for weeks, now?{S}
 There is no need to be so modest.{S}
 Let us see, there must be some reward I could give you...{S}
 Have you been to the center of the forest, yet?{S}
 Let me think.{S}
 You have destroyed that annoying oak.{S}
 It is good to be free from that annoying tree.{S}
 Let us see... do I remember?{S}
 Oh, yes, now I do.{S}
 You are a robber is what you are! <emp>They</emp> sent you, did not they?{S}
 Well, I will show you! <emp>They</emp> will not get away with this!{S}
 Hold on, old man, I want to ask you a few things.{S}
 Hold on, human.{S}
 I have some questions for you.{S}
 I am not going to put up with this nonsense.{S}
 I do not have anything to ask.{S}
 Why do you get two questions in a row!{S}
 I will just take it off your dead body. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 How about this silver ring I found in the ruins?{S}
 Do you have the Grand Oak's acorn?{S}
 How do I enter the center of the forest?{S}
 And how do you fool them?{S}
 What do you mean by 'missing its acorn'?{S}
 How about you do it now and I do not kill you?{S}
 Do we each need a skin of our own?{S}
 No, they will never find you.{S}
 Do you want to ask me another question?{S}
 And what if I tell them you are here? <emp>I</emp> found you.{S}
 You would better have some answers.{S}
 Yes, I have been.{S}
 No, I have never been in love.{S}
 Yes, I have.{S}
 My father and I get along just fine.{S}
 My name is Winifred.{S}
 My name is Alfred.{S}
 I am not telling you my name!{S}
 Then I will just have to kill you! <act>Attack</act>{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Wait, are you the thief who took the Grand Oak's acorn?{S}
 I brought a werewolf skin for you.{S}
 I will get you eventually! <act>Attack the hermit again</act>{S}
 No, I did not do that.{S}
 Of course I am aware of that. <desc>It appears someone has dug a hole beneath the stump, leading to a tiny and filthy cave of sorts.{S}
 Hold on, you!{S}
 Keep out! <emp>Keep out</emp>! <desc>You try to squeeze into the small opening, but it is too small for even a child to fit into.{S}
 How the hermit enters is a mystery.</desc> <desc>You put your hand into the mud and feel around.{S}
 You find something and grab onto it.</desc> <desc>You feel something else moving around in the mud and it stabs your hand painfully as you yank your prize out...</desc> <desc>You feel something moving around in the mud, but you yank your prize out too quickly for it to touch you...</desc> <desc>You examine the cubby-hole once more.{S}
 Do not you have any manners whatsoever?{S}
 Were you raised by a rodent?! <desc>There is nothing in the trunk that appears worthy of your time.</desc> <act>Leave the tree stump alone.</act> <act>Try to enter the small cave.</act> <act>Reach into the cubby-hole.</act>{S}
 The watch-wolves have spoken truly, my brothers and sisters.{S}
 The Dalish send a human, of all things, to repay us for our attack, to put us in our place.{S}
 I lead my cursed brothers and sisters.{S}
 Turn back now, go back to the Dalish and tell them that you have failed.{S}
 Tell them we will gladly watch them suffer the same curse we have suffered for too long.{S}
 We will watch them pay!{S}
 You think we would help you find the great wolf?{S}
 You think we would let you kill him?{S}
 And instead we have ripped out theirs!{S}
 We are done speaking.{S}
 I know why you seek him and it is not to speak!{S}
 We are done speaking!{S}
 You know nothing, do you?{S}
 Nothing of us and even less of those you serve.{S}
 You are a fool, and we are done talking.{S}
 I do not wish to fight you.{S}
 But our enemy has sent you to us, and now you force our hand.{S}
 I do not wish to fight you, either, but we cannot trust you.{S}
 We have never met, he and I.{S}
 That we do.{S}
 Turn and leave, while you still have the chance!{S}
 I regret only that we did not inflict every single one of them with the curse that night.{S}
 If you lie, then the forest itself shall deal with you.{S}
 It has eyes of its own and it cares for us.{S}
 You have been warned.{S}
 Come, brothers and sisters, let us retreat.{S}
 The forest has eyes of its own, and it will deal with intruders as it always has.{S}
 Do you take us for fools?{S}
 Let that thought chill your spine.{S}
 The Dalish send a dwarf, of all things, to put us in our place.{S}
 They send a dwarf to make us pay for our attack.{S}
 Another of the Dalish, come to put us in our place, come to make us pay for our attack.{S}
 We do not care why you are here.{S}
 It makes no difference to us.{S}
 The forest has eyes of its own and it shall deal with you!{S}
 You have been warned!{S}
 The forest has not been vigilant enough.{S}
 You are stronger than we could have anticipated.{S}
 The Dalish chose well.{S}
 But you do not belong here, outsider.{S}
 You come to kill, as all your kind do!{S}
 We have learned this lesson well.{S}
 Here we learn our names and are beloved!{S}
 We will not allow harm to come to Witherfang!{S}
 I will not stand by and allow that to happen!{S}
 I do not believe you.{S}
 I would like to meet with him to parley.{S}
 Why do you hate the Dalish so much?{S}
 I do not want to fight, but neither can I retreat.{S}
 I have nothing else to ask.{S}
 Why do you hate him so much?{S}
 You sound as if you hate the Dalish a great deal.{S}
 Why will not you let me try to settle this dispute?{S}
 Then come and fight or get out of my way!{S}
 You do not actually expect me to leave, do you?{S}
 I have no intention of harming Witherfang.{S}
 And what will you do to stop me, exactly?{S}
 I have already proven myself stronger than you.{S}
 Why do you call the Dalish treacherous?{S}

 What are you doing here?{S}
 I can help you find her.{S}
 What are you seeing? <desc>This elaborate artifact has a gem-like structure that contains what appears to be blood, fresh and liquid even after all this time.{S}
 Could its endless nightmare finally be over?</desc> <desc>The images that are sent to your mind depict a clear question: Do you still wish to learn the skills of the Arcane Warrior?{S}
 The Presence is ready to teach you now.</desc> <desc>The memories flood into your mind.{S}

 The gem vibrates no more.</desc> <desc>Bashing the gem against anything hard seems to do nothing.{S}
 It would no doubt take extraordinary force, or magic, to affect the artifact at all.</desc> <desc>The gem is warm to the touch, and your mind immediately begins swimming with visions, images and memories from a life not your own.</desc> <desc>The Presence in the gem is at first alarmed when it senses your touch.{S}
 Rather than have you leave, it begs you to stay.</desc> <desc>The Presence thinks quickly, bewildered.{S}
 Time that the Presence has spent trapped within the Life Gem.{S}
 Time where the Presence has slept, gone mad, and then slept again.</desc> <desc>The Presence has no name it can remember.{S}
 You get the sense of an elf, a mage in glittering silver armor.{S}
 You see images of an order of elven mages who channel their spells into their strength, fighting as Arcane Warriors to defend their charges.</desc> <desc>The Presence could give you what knowledge remains within it of how to become an Arcane Warrior.{S}
 You are no mage, yourself, but you could teach such knowledge to those who are.</desc> <desc>This is all the Presence has left to offer any longer: the last of its memories.{S}
 There is no hope.</desc> <desc>The Presence has nothing else to offer.{S}
 It will give you what memories it has.{S}

 You could become one yourself or teach the knowledge to other mages, if you chose.</desc> <desc>You see images again of the elf in silver armor, one who is mage and warrior both.{S}
 The name for the order he belongs to translates in your mind to "Arcane Warrior."</desc> <desc>You see images of a great battle, elves and humans both screaming and attempting to flee from some terrible presence.{S}
 What that presence was is blurry and lost to time.</desc> <desc>The Presence fled the destruction by using the Life Gem, escaping its body.{S}

 Not until now.</desc> <desc>You see faint images of a mage holding the Life Gem and chanting in an unknown language.{S}

 How it was placed inside the gem, however, is impossible to tell.</desc> <desc>What would you like to do?</desc>{S}
 I bet you could get a silver or two for that shiny bit there.{S}
 The essence of a mage, kept magically preserved.{S}
 A device meant to hold a spirit, perhaps.{S}
 We have little knowledge of the magic used by the elves of Arlathan's time.{S}
 As it is, I would hazard a guess that the object you are holding is a form of phylactery, meant to hold living essence.{S}
 Keep your skills.{S}
 I require nothing in return for an act of mercy.{S}
 Yes, give me your memories. <act>Place the artifact on the stone altar.</act>{S}
 You might be useful later. <act>Break the gem open.</act> <act>Touch the gem.</act>{S}

 Is there anything I can do for you?{S}

 Yes, I will try to help you.{S}

 You have no place here.{S}
 You need... help?{S}
 I do not understand what you are saying.{S}
 This is my sanctum and I do not wish it violated.{S}
 But they have slain those who guarded your sanctum, Lady!{S}
 They seek to harm you!{S}
 What they seek is quite something else, I fear.{S}
 Allow me to bid you welcome, mortal.{S}
 If I could have revealed myself sooner, I would have.{S}
 Do not listen to her, Lady!{S}
 Do not listen to him, Lady!{S}
 Your urge for battle has only seen the death of the very ones you have been trying to save.{S}
 Then the time has come to speak with this outsider, to set our rage aside.{S}
 Those whom I have helped are very grateful for what I have done for them.{S}
 I offer them guidance, but I do not command them.{S}
 No doubt you have questions, mortal.{S}
 There are things that Zathrian has not told you.{S}
 Listen, and decide whether Zathrian has been entirely truthful to you.{S}
 They sought to drive the Dalish away.{S}
 He had a son and daughter he loved greatly, and while out hunting the human tribe captured them both.{S}
 The Dalish found her, but she learned later she was... with child.{S}
 Continue, Swiftrunner.{S}
 Indeed they did.{S}
 Until I found you, my lady.{S}
 You gave me peace.{S}
 And he brought others to me.{S}
 We seek to end the curse.{S}
 Word was sent to Zathrian every time the landships passed this way, asking him to come, but he has always ignored us.{S}
 So he must end the curse to save them!{S}
 He will never allow it!{S}
 Surely his rage does not run so deep he would endanger his own clan!{S}
 Bring him here.{S}
 If he sees these creatures, hears their plight... surely he will agree to end the curse!{S}
 If he does not come, if he does not break the curse, he will never find Witherfang, and he will never cure his people.{S}
 You wish to find Witherfang?{S}
 Let us make an end to this wretched existence once and for all!{S}
 Outside of this chamber, the passage leading back to the surface has been opened for you.{S}
 I do not trust this plan, my lady.{S}
 No, bring Zathrian to us here and I will summon Witherfang.{S}
 I also have the power to ensure Witherfang is never found.{S}
 I... do not trust this plan, my lady.{S}
 No, bring Zathrian to us here.{S}
 You must go to Zathrian and bring him here to us.{S}
 They are weak with the curse... let us leave him no choice but to break it!{S}
 Each new victim it claims must be brought to me before the healing can begin.{S}
 Listen, and decide whether he has been entirely truthful.{S}
 Things that you should decide for yourself whether you need to know.{S}
 One way or another we shall see an end to this curse today.{S}
 I want to know where I can find Witherfang, that is it.{S}
 I did not come here to talk, to you or anyone.{S}
 So you are what the werewolves have been keeping down here.{S}
 I am glad we have this chance to talk.{S}
 You lead the werewolves, do you?{S}
 No, I do not have any questions, really.{S}
 What does this have to do with anything?{S}
 They deserved whatever they got.{S}
 So Zathrian cursed them, I take it?{S}
 Why should I care about any of this?{S}
 I will find Witherfang the hard way.{S}
 I have an alternate plan.{S}
 What happens to you does not matter to me.{S}
 I have another plan.{S}
 The Grey Wardens need allies.{S}
 I will take you over the elves.{S}
 So why did not you rejoin human society?{S}
 Why did you ambush the Dalish?{S}
 How do you know what he has or has not told me?{S}
 Rabid dogs usually need to be put down.{S}
 As do we all, Lady. <desc>Growls</desc> These chests contain most of the bounty we collected from this camp.{S}
 Some of the elves have died, but many are now turning.{S}
 Soon our numbers will be restored. <desc>The white wolf is otherworldly in nature, like a spirit made flesh.{S}
 What have you there?{S}
 You found Flemeth's grimoire?{S}
 You have returned from the Wilds... alive.{S}
 What news have you?{S}
 You have something to say, do you?{S}
 I have a thought.{S}
 Do you realize that you have been smiling for hours, now?{S}
 What do you wish of me?{S}
 So what do I have to do to get on your good side?{S}
 So life in the Wilds must have been very lonely.{S}
 Do you really want your mother dead?{S}
 How did you become a shapechanger?{S}
 Can you teach others to become shapechangers?{S}
 Did you grow up in the Korcari Wilds?{S}
 Have you ever been hunted by the Chantry?{S}
 Is there anything that can be done for a possessed mage?{S}
 No, I did not.{S}
 I need you to keep preparing the unguents, Lanaya.{S}
 Compared to the beast inside that we had to fight every moment, this is just fine.{S}
 Time to pay up?{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 I... have this shield, if you want it.{S}
 I found it here a very long time ago.{S}
 You do not actually intend to kill us after all this?{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Find other humans, see what is out there for us.{S}
 It should be quite interesting do not you think?{S}
 The passage just outside of this room is open to you now and it will lead you to sunlight.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I do good work.{S}
 Time to pay up.{S}
 I mean that you owe me a reward.{S}
 You caused me a lot of grief.{S}
 I do not need you.{S}
 Not unless you got a reward decent enough to stop me.{S}
 I should get back to the camp.{S}
 So what are you going to do now?{S}
 Yes, well, I should get back to the Dalish camp.{S}
 It will take some time, yet, to organize a large force of my people.{S}
 I shall work quickly.{S}
 You have earned the reward you demanded.{S}
 Take it: consider it a gift from our ancestors to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Though you did not ask for one, you have earned a reward to go along with our respect and gratitude.{S}
 Let me say it officially: I hereby swear to uphold the terms of the ancient contract our people formed with the Grey Wardens.{S}
 I cannot do as you ask, spirit.{S}
 I cannot do it.{S}
 Perhaps I have... lived too long.{S}
 It has consumed my soul.{S}
 Do you not fear your end?{S}
 You gave me form and consciousness where none existed.{S}
 I have known pain and love, hope and fear, all the joy that is life.{S}
 Yet of all things I desire nothing more than an end.{S}
 I beg you, maker... put an end to me. <emp>We</emp> beg you... show mercy.{S}
 Well done, Grey Warden, you have succeeded in your task.{S}
 But Lanaya knows how to use the heart to cure the hunters, so my people would have survived.{S}
 She is my first, of course she does.{S}
 Ah... yes, I should have thought of that.{S}
 Let us end this now, then.{S}
 So I have gathered.{S}
 Let us end this now, then.{S}
 We would best leave this mess and get back to the camp, then.{S}
 Lanaya will be eager to get the cure started.{S}
 Let us get back to the camp quickly.{S}
 Lanaya will be eager to get the cure started, I am certain.{S}
 You have taken a name, spirit?{S}
 And you have given names to your pets?{S}
 It was they who gave me a name, Zathrian.{S}
 And the names they take are their own.{S}
 They follow me because I help them to find who they are.{S}
 Who they are has not changed from whom their ancestors were.{S}
 He has come to kill you, Lady!{S}
 Do you support Zathrian in this?{S}
 Even after all that you have heard?{S}
 I beg you to see what you have wrought here!{S}
 I see only beasts, and a spirit who has misled them into thinking they are more than what they are.{S}
 Let us end this.{S}
 Their nature compels it, just as mine does.{S}
 We know where this ends.{S}
 Their nature compels it, just as mine does.{S}
 I had hoped for compassion.{S}
 Your place here is done.{S}
 We all know where this will lead.{S}
 Your nature compels it, as does mine.{S}
 It does not have to be that way.{S}
 Surely your retribution is spent.{S}
 Are you certain your pain is the only reason you will not end this curse?{S}
 Have you told the mortal how it was created?{S}
 And so he did.{S}
 Your people believe you have rediscovered the immortality of their ancestors, Zathrian, but that is not true.{S}
 So long as the curse exists, so do you.{S}
 The curse has a life of its own, though Zathrian's life depends on it.{S}
 His death plays a part in its ending, however.{S}
 What could keep one going after so many centuries of life?{S}
 Love, or a bitter hatred that clutches at a heart that should long ago have ceased beating?{S}
 I did what was necessary!{S}
 I did what was just, and it still is!{S}
 I did it for my people!{S}
 I did it for my son, and my daughter!{S}
 For them, for justice, I would do anything!{S}
 The curse would not end with Zathrian's death.{S}
 And I believe his death plays a part in its ending.{S}
 Only I know how the ritual ends, and I will never do it!{S}
 Do what you have come here to do, Grey Warden, or get out of my way.{S}
 No, do not do this!{S}
 Have you all gone mad?!{S}
 You have carved a safe path through the forest... safe enough for me to follow, anyhow.{S}
 Did you?{S}
 Did you acquire the heart?{S}
 You did not?{S}
 There was no need.{S}
 I knew you would find it, and I did not care to give you a history lesson about things that have no bearing on your purpose here.{S}
 And what does she want with me, if I might inquire?{S}
 You do understand that she actually <emp>is</emp> Witherfang?{S}
 I find that difficult to believe.{S}
 Let us go and speak to the spirit and I will force her into Witherfang's form.{S}
 He may then be slain and the heart taken.{S}
 Let us just take the heart and be done with it.{S}
 You did not see what... what they did to my son.{S}
 I could not let their crimes go unanswered!{S}
 You know what it is like to have injustice thrown in your face.{S}
 How can you know how we had to struggle to be safe?{S}
 How could I have let their crimes go unanswered?{S}
 They will never let my clan be.{S}
 I have sworn to protect my people, and I shall.{S}
 Tell me, if you held your own daughter's lifeless body in your arms would you not also have sworn an eternity of pain on those who did such to her?{S}
 Then do you honestly expect me to go and speak to these loathsome creatures?{S}
 Then we have no alternative left but to take the heart.{S}
 I will do so.{S}
 I am eager to have this over with.{S}
 Witherfang's heart will cure the hunters... but it does not end the curse.{S}
 I will do nothing to help them.{S}
 You claim they have regained their minds, but they are still savage beasts.{S}
 All they will want is revenge... or a release that I will not give them.{S}
 No, let us take the heart and end it.{S}
 If you do not help me get the heart, then my hunters are not cured and you get no assistance against the darkspawn.{S}
 It has been many centuries, now.{S}
 Let us see what the spirit has to say.{S}
 If I am to walk amongst the wolves, I will do so only to kill them.{S}
 Perhaps not lied as much as did not clarify.{S}
 I was half afraid that I would find that Witherfang had killed you and I would have to battle him myself.{S}
 You are an elf and yet I did not trust you completely.{S}
 It is... difficult for me, after the life I have led.{S}
 I did not lie to you.{S}
 I told you what you needed to know.{S}
 Whether or not the curse was of my creation made no difference to your mission.{S}
 Whether you came here for your army or not, you have done us a great service.{S}
 And what use would a history lesson have been for you?{S}
 We both need my people cured and now that is possible.{S}
 I think you can see for yourself why I would not have been able to do what you have.{S}
 That would free us from having to live up to the terms of the treaty, that is true, but this is not what has happened.{S}
 This will have to do.{S}
 Only I can make use of the heart.{S}
 You do not desire that, do you?{S}
 So let us dispense with what might have been and get on with what must be, shall we?{S}
 The curse has endured for centuries, and will continue long after I pass on.{S}
 What is done is done.{S}
 As soon as we see the heart is taking effect we can deal with the rest that implies.{S}
 There are those who need that cure in a timely fashion.{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 Come, let us return now.{S}
 As a matter of fact, I do.{S}
 I am not letting that heart out of my sight.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Would you really let your clan die?{S}
 What would have happened if you had been killed?{S}
 Lanaya knows how to use the heart?{S}
 There is no need to keep you alive, then, that is all...{S}
 Or perhaps after all that, you really do want to die.{S}
 I have been waiting for this...{S}
 Let us head back to the camp now.{S}
 Yes, let us go back to the camp now.{S}
 It is done with and that is all that really matters.{S}
 I did not exactly have much of a choice.{S}
 Do not thank me.{S}
 Had I the option, I would kill you myself.{S}
 I do.{S}
 No, I do not support him.{S}
 I just made sure he came.{S}
 What do you expect?{S}
 Do not make me laugh.{S}
 He may have but I did not understand it.{S}
 Does it make a difference?{S}
 So would Zathrian's death end the curse?{S}
 I do not care, Zathrian.{S}
 I will not help you do this.{S}
 You will end that curse if I have to force you myself!{S}
 I am sorry it had to come to this, Swiftrunner.{S}
 You have my support.{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 You mean you wanted to make sure I got the heart.{S}
 There was no need.{S}
 I have the heart.{S}
 We need to talk, you and I.{S}
 Why did not you tell me?{S}
 I have been sent to bring you back to the Lady of the Forest.{S}
 But the werewolves have regained their minds.{S}
 I assure you, the werewolves have regained their minds.{S}
 Do you still have so much hatred after all this time?{S}
 So your answer is to let them suffer forever?{S}
 You are right, I would have done the same.{S}
 Yes, I do.{S}
 I might have, but who is being punished now?{S}
 I would not have done the same.{S}
 Fine, if that is how it has to be, let us kill Witherfang.{S}
 I am making this my fight.{S}
 Let us kill them and get this over with.{S}
 I am not going to help you do that.{S}
 You can at least meet with them; that is what I propose.{S}
 I do not think it will come to that.{S}
 I do not need the Dalish.{S}
 I do not appreciate being lied to.{S}
 I would have preferred to know everything up front.{S}
 I believe you were actually hoping Witherfang had killed me.{S}
 So you intend to keep your side of the bargain now, yes?{S}
 I have one question: Will this heart break the curse or not?{S}
 You do not want to break the curse?{S}
 Do you intend to keep your part of the bargain?{S}
 Yes, let us head back.{S}
 I will find my own way back, if you do not mind.{S}
 So it has come to this.{S}
 You think you gain something by supporting this spirit and these rabid beasts?{S}
 You know nothing about what has passed.{S}
 You think you gain some advantage by supporting rabid beasts?{S}
 These rabid, uncontrollable beasts will spread their curse if you allow them out of the forest!{S}
 You began this, Zathrian, not they.{S}
 This is your doing.{S}
 They still do!{S}
 The humans that caused you grief are centuries dead, Zathrian.{S}
 You bring suffering to innocents, as well as to your own people.{S}
 As for these... these beasts, they will continue to suffer for what they did!{S}
 You will end this curse!{S}
 End it or you will all die!!{S}
 You are going to end this curse, one way or another.{S}
 You deserve whatever you get here, Zathrian.{S}
 Efforts continue to gather the werewolves to make war under your command.{S}
 And so it is done.{S}
 You have had your revenge, good Swiftrunner.{S}
 We shall never be free of the curse, my lady.{S}
 But perhaps we can try to find a place for ourselves outside of the forest, now.{S}
 Thank you, mortal, for the part you played in this.{S}
 Then I offer you my oath.{S}
 The werewolves shall do battle, at your command and yours alone, this I swear.{S}
 I can leave my forest for a time and join Swiftrunner's people in battle, if I am needed.{S}
 It will take some time for us to gather.{S}
 The elven hunters will begin to turn, and they will need to be brought into our fold.{S}
 But you will have your army, mortal.{S}
 I need you to form an army under my command.{S}
 Join me, and defeat the Blight.{S}
 Allow us to relieve your burden.{S}
 I have just one question.{S}
 Might you have found near him a belt pouch?{S}
 It was made by his mother.{S}
 Deygan would have wished to have been buried with it.{S}
 Let us bring Deygan to our family.{S}
 We shall simply have to bury him without it, then.{S}
 It troubles me that you would lie, but what is important is that Deygan's wishes are met.{S}
 Surely the keeper will give you a reward for this.{S}
 You are kind to return him so we can offer him a proper burial.{S}
 Let us take Deygan to the keeper, and quickly.{S}
 I said I never found it.{S}
 Oh, I did not realize that.{S}
 Take it, then.{S}
 Yes, I did, actually.{S}
 I do not have it anymore.{S}
 It is mine and I am keeping it.{S}
 I think it will do as a reward, actually.{S}
 'Tis a skill of Flemeth's, taught over many years in the Wilds.{S}
 The Chasind have tales of we witches, saying that we assume the forms of creatures to watch them from hiding.{S}
 She has not done it in my experience, though in truth my lifespan is but a fraction of her own.{S}
 She has, after all, lived a very lengthy time in the Wilds and done many things I know nothing of.{S}
 My mother has walked the Wilds far longer than I.{S}
 Who am I to suggest what things she has done and not done in her past?{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 One may study the creature, learn to move as it does, think as it does.{S}
 Your mother has been doing this for a long time, then?{S}
 That does sound like something you would do.{S}
 Do you spend a lot of time as an animal?{S}
 I have never heard of magic like that before.{S}
 There have been Dalish keepers who use similar magic.{S}
 In time, this allows one to become as it is.{S}
 Cammen is in love with Gheyna, but she will not agree to a bonding until Cammen has completed his hunt.{S}
 You told Gheyna that she needs a real man to fulfill her needs, and seduced her.{S}
 You told Cammen, and now he has run away into the forest, heedless of the danger. <emp>Help Cammen win Gheyna's hand</emp>{S}
 You brought Cammen and Gheyna together, and they seem very happy. <emp>Bring the dead hunter back to camp</emp>{S}
 They were sad, but thankful to you for bringing him back to his people.{S}
 You found a wounded elven hunter, Deygan, in the forest, and brought him back to his clan.{S}
 They were very thankful that you found him.{S}
 You found the wounded elven hunter, Deygan, and healed him.{S}
 He has returned to camp.{S}
 You have earned the respect of the Dalish elves, and they have agreed to help the Grey Wardens battle the Blight.{S}
 I would have come sooner had they allowed it.{S}
 Cammen is in love with Gheyna, but she will not agree to a bonding until Cammen has completed his hunt.{S}
 You told Cammen that you would try to change Gheyna's mind. <emp>Obtain a wolf pelt for Cammen</emp>{S}
 Cammen is in love with Gheyna, but she will not agree to a bonding until Cammen has completed his hunt.{S}
 You told Cammen you would get a pelt for him, to prove that he is been on a hunt.{S}
 It is an honor to meet you at last. <emp>Help Cammen win Gheyna's hand</emp>{S}
 Cammen is in love with Gheyna, but she will not agree to a bonding until Cammen has completed his hunt.{S}
 Cammen needs to hunt and kill a beast of the forest, and bring back its pelt. <emp>Deal with the bandits taking advantage of travelers</emp>{S}
 Bandits have set up a barricade on the road to Lothering.{S}
 They are robbing innocent travelers by forcing them to pay a "toll."{S}
 You tricked them into believing that a large, unguarded caravan is coming their way and that it would be best for them to wait for that instead of trying to rob you. <emp>Deal with the bandits taking advantage of travelers</emp>{S}
 Bandits have set up a barricade on the road to Lothering.{S}
 They are robbing innocent travelers by forcing them to pay a "toll."{S}
 You revealed that you are a mage, and the bandits let you go, fearful of being turned into toads or being fried. <emp>Deal with the bandits taking advantage of travelers</emp>{S}
 Bandits have set up a barricade on the road to Lothering.{S}
 They are robbing innocent travelers by forcing them to pay a "toll."{S}
 You revealed that you are a Grey Warden and they let you go, afraid to cross you. <emp>Help Cammen win Gheyna's hand</emp>{S}
 Cammen is in love with Gheyna, but she will not agree to a bonding until Cammen has completed his hunt.{S}
 You decided that you would show Cammen how to please Gheyna by offering a hands-on demonstration.{S}
 How this will affect their relationship remains to be seen. <emp>Deal with the bandits taking advantage of travelers</emp>{S}
 Bandits have set up a barricade on the road to Lothering.{S}
 They are robbing innocent travelers by forcing them to pay a "toll."{S}
 You paid their price of ten silvers. <emp>Deal with the bandits taking advantage of travelers</emp>{S}
 Bandits have set up a barricade on the road to Lothering.{S}
 They are robbing innocent travelers by forcing them to pay a "toll."{S}
 After paying the bandits the first sum they asked for--ten silvers--they demanded more.{S}
 You paid them an extra twenty silvers.{S}
 The hour grows late, and you need your rest.{S}
 You let them go with a warning and you doubt they will cause any more trouble for Lothering for a while.{S}
 However, they needed to pay for their crimes, so you slew them all.{S}
 Have you an opinion on my abilities, then?{S}
 Am I an unnatural abomination to be put to the torch?{S}
 Far more so than any man I have spoken to.{S}
 I find such opinions good to know in advance, so thank you.{S}
 Let us proceed, lest the dust gather on us.{S}
 'Tis a spell, and thus requires a mage's talents.{S}
 Indeed, you could learn the spells required.{S}
 If I cared to teach you.{S}
 If you had a notion to learn such a skill for yourself, sadly you must remain disappointed.{S}
 I have smelled it as a wolf, listened as a cat, prowled shadows that you never dreamed existed.{S}
 They do not shy away from me.{S}
 Just as I am still human, no matter my form, they are still animals.{S}
 There are traditions of magic outside of the Circle of Magi, despite what those mages would have you believe.{S}
 The zealots of the Chantry would uproot all such practitioners if they could, but as luck have it some still exist.{S}
 Not all apostates use the forbidden blood arts.{S}
 Maleficarum do, but to condemn all who do not fall under the Circle's thrall for the sake of what might be is a dangerous path to walk.{S}
 An odd opinion to have, then.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 Then I have no doubt your people do much to keep their talents well-hidden from humans.{S}
 I wonder if I was to ask one of your keepers of the origin of their magics if there would be any relation to what I was taught?{S}
 This makes sense, according to what I know of the elves.{S}
 Though I suspect I have more in common with your people then my own kind, but such is how it must be.{S}
 By "others," do you mean yourself?{S}
 I cannot teach you, no, but any other mages that cared to learn... yes, I could do that.{S}
 Send whoever you wish my way and I shall teach them what I can in the camp.{S}
 Provided they possess the will to even make the attempt.{S}
 It does seem a little... revolting.{S}
 That would just make you angry, I think.{S}
 And what do other animals think of you when you are changed?{S}
 By "practitioners" you mean apostates, do not you?{S}
 The Chantry simply seeks to protect us from danger.{S}
 Is not that sort of magic open to abuse?{S}
 Such traditions need to be preserved.{S}
 If I did, I would not tell you.{S}
 We do not know much about our origins, I am afraid.{S}
 You met a Dalish elf who seemed rather hostile.{S}
 You have decided to leave the Dalish alone for the time being. <emp>Gain the cooperation of the Dalish clans</emp>{S}
 You met Mithra, a Dalish elf, in the Brecilian forest who took you to see her clan's keeper, Zathrian.{S}
 Zathrian explained to you that his clan is unable to uphold its promise to the Grey Wardens because a horrible curse has fallen upon them.{S}
 The elves have sent hunters into the forest to search for the great beast, Witherfang, as his heart's blood is the key to ending the curse.{S}
 Until the curse is ended, the elves cannot help you.{S}
 Possibly, if I had the desire to.{S}
 I do not.{S}
 Do not make me laugh.{S}
 Beyond that, I do not like you.{S}
 I would not be here if I had a choice in the matter, and I certainly will not teach you my mother's secrets.{S}
 That is your decision to make.{S}
 This may extend to the teaching of my mother's skills, in time.{S}
 For now, I simply do not know you well enough.{S}
 Then I shall teach you what I can whenever we are in camp.{S}
 Provided you have the will to even make the attempt, that is.{S}
 Let us hope that old dogs truly can learn new tricks, then.{S}
 Flemeth taught me well.{S}
 Would you not do the same?{S}
 Flemeth knows much of your world, and taught me well.{S}
 For all that I had been taught, however, the truth of the civilized lands proved to be... overwhelming.{S}
 So confident and bold was I, yet there was much that Flemeth could never have prepared me for.{S}
 Perhaps you had better <emp>find</emp> the desire, then.{S}
 I should have known you would be a selfish bitch.{S}
 Do you see any other mages about?{S}
 But you kept going back to the Wilds?{S}
 I have a hard time picturing that.{S}
 You must have looked quite the fool.{S}
 You released Sten from his cage and he has agreed to follow you.{S}
 Zathrian the Keeper <emp>Slay Witherfang and bring his heart to Zathrian</emp>{S}
 Zathrian told you that the curse that has befallen the elves originated in the great wolf, Witherfang.{S}
 If the beast is slain, Zathrian may be able to use its heart to break the curse. <emp>Help the wounded hunter</emp>{S}
 You found a wounded elven hunter in the forest.{S}
 There might be something you can do to help him.{S}
 Lost to the Curse <emp>Find Danyla</emp>{S}
 He accepted what you said, and has left to make arrangements to mourn her. <emp>Find a way past the magical barrier in the forest</emp>{S}
 To get past, you must find some way to placate the forest, or trick it.{S}
 Elora, the Dalish master of the antlered halla beasts, is concerned that one of the herd has been infected with the werewolf blood curse and may die.{S}
 Elora, the Dalish master of the antlered halla beasts, is concerned that one of the herd has been infected with the werewolf blood curse and may die.{S}
 Elora, the Dalish master of the antlered halla beasts, was concerned that one of her halla beasts had contracted the werewolf blood curse.{S}
 Elora, the Dalish master of the antlered halla beasts, is concerned that one of the herd has been infected with the werewolf blood curse and may die.{S}
 You examined the beast but have not discovered the problem--greater survival skill would likely be needed to tell for certain.{S}
 Elora, the Dalish master of the antlered halla beasts, was concerned that one of the herd had been infected with the werewolf blood curse.{S}
 With your advice, she agreed that the halla needed to be put out of its misery.{S}
 Elora, the Dalish master of the antlered halla beasts, is concerned that one of the herd has been infected with the werewolf blood curse and may die.{S}
 You tried to lie to her by saying you knew what the problem was, but she saw through your attempt and is now furious with you.{S}
 He has sent templars to deal with the menace.{S}
 Why do you ask me such questions?{S}
 I do not probe you for pointless information, do I?{S}
 What manner of simpering weakling do you take me for?{S}
 He pointed and gasped and began shouting in his strange language, and most assumed he was casting some curse upon me.{S}
 Men are always willing to believe two things about a woman: one, that she is weak, and two, that she finds him attractive.{S}
 I played the weakling and batted my eyelashes at the captain of the guard.{S}
 Child's play.{S}
 Who cares?{S}
 I do not know how well I lie, but I will do whatever I must in order to survive.{S}
 Not that I did not have trouble.{S}
 There are things about human society which have always puzzled me.{S}
 Such as the touching--why all the touching for a simple greeting?{S}
 Do not speak to me of trivialities.{S}
 Yes, yes, some men have painted lines across the maps.{S}
 I have seen them.{S}
 To begin with, yes.{S}
 What is the point of touching my hand?{S}
 I find it an offensive intrusion.{S}
 At least with that sort of touching I would have been able to intuit the intent with far greater ease.{S}
 When to look into another's eyes, how to eat at a table, how to bargain without offending... none of these things I knew.{S}
 I still do not understand it all, truth be told.{S}
 But, then, I gave up long ago any hope of doing so.{S}
 When I returned to the Wilds last, I swore to Flemeth that I had no intention of leaving again.{S}
 I have no qualm with the mission I have been set to.{S}
 Let us not.{S}
 Let us ignore the entire darkspawn threat and the presence of a simpleton as your only other Grey Warden ally, then.{S}
 Well, let us get on with it before the ground opens up and swallows us, yes?{S}
 But have it your way.{S}
 I did not ask to be left alone.{S}
 Have it your way, then.{S}
 What a stranger does not know cannot hurt him.{S}
 But have it your way.{S}
 I think I will elect to answer the question, for now, if you do not mind.{S}
 Have it your way, then.{S}
 I have no idea.{S}
 Touching?{S}
 Were you upset by all the bad touching?{S}
 Well, I am glad it worked out this way, at least.{S}
 We do not need to be strangers, do we?{S}
 I could give it a whirl.{S}
 How about I use a large club, instead? <emp>Find ironbark for Varathorn</emp>{S}
 Varathorn, the clan's craftsman, is in need of ironbark.{S}
 If you find some in the forest, bring it back to Varathorn.{S}
 You found ironbark for Master Varathorn, and he was very pleased.{S}
 You found a qunari locked in a cage near the highway leading to Lothering.{S}
 He introduced himself as Sten, and seemed content to remain in his prison. <emp>Find a way to free Sten</emp>{S}
 You agreed to speak to the revered mother to see if you can get Sten released. <emp>Free Sten</emp>{S}
 You have obtained the key to Sten's cage.{S}
 You may free him now, if you wish. <emp>Free Sten</emp>{S}
 You convinced the revered mother to give you the key to Sten's cage. <emp>Give Danyla's scarf to her husband, Athras</emp>{S}
 You met a werewolf who said she was once an elf called Danyla.{S}
 She wanted you to bring her scarf to her husband, Athras, and then she forced you to kill her to end her suffering.{S}
 You have taunted Athras one time too many, and he no longer cares to hear from you. <emp>Find Danyla</emp>{S}
 Zathrian says she is dead but will not allow Athras to see her body.{S}
 Athras believes that she is still alive, but has become a werewolf.{S}
 He hopes you find her when you venture out into the forest.{S}
 I am Sten's cage! (got cage key) open the cage (no cage key) pick the lock on the cage{S}
 Leave <emp>Find Danyla</emp>{S}
 Zathrian says she is dead but will not allow Athras to see her body.{S}
 Athras believes that she is still alive, but has become a werewolf.{S}
 You promised him that you would try to find Danyla in the forest. <emp>Bring the dead hunter back to camp</emp>{S}
 You found a seriously injured elven hunter in the forest, and smothered him to put him out of his misery.{S}
 Perhaps you should bring him back to camp.{S}
 Of course I do not.{S}
 'Tis no matter.{S}
 I did not realize I was being interrogated.{S}
 My mother has been hunted from time to time, yes.{S}
 Flemeth made a bit of a game of it, in fact.{S}
 The templars would come again and she would look at me and smile and say that the fun was to begin once more.{S}
 I found the game fun.{S}
 They came with as much swagger and arrogance as they did self-righteousness.{S}
 Pity them if you wish, for they held none for us.{S}
 And then the true game began.{S}
 Often Flemeth would use me as bait.{S}
 If I did not get to play, I would have been very upset.{S}
 No, I never did any of the killing until later.{S}
 Once they found us, Flemeth would simply move us elsewhere and we would be lost within the forest once again.{S}
 I did not understand the danger we faced until I was much older.{S}
 I had never heard of "apostates" or "maleficarum."{S}
 Would they have regretted hurting me?{S}
 I was a young child, yet do you think they would not have gleefully held my head aloft as a trophy?{S}
 There are only absolutes, so only survival matters.{S}
 If the Wilds have taught me anything, 'tis this: first you must survive.{S}
 Do you disagree?{S}
 And I would have expected no less from one such as you.{S}
 Either you have no opinion or will not speak of it.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 You do not know?{S}
 The zealots use that word for any magic they do not control.{S}
 Let us return to the task at hand.{S}
 Is it true, then, that given enough time the prisoner will learn to love the cell?{S}
 I think that my mother made it fun so that a child did not learn to fear.{S}
 Perhaps they did.{S}
 Still, I do not begrudge them doing what they believe is necessary. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Well that depends, does it not?{S}
 What does she seem to be? <desc>Laughs loudly</desc>{S}
 Have no mistake of that.{S}
 You mean is she truly <emp>the</emp> Flemeth of legend and story? <desc>Laughs</desc> Sometimes I do wonder the very same thing.{S}
 Tell me: how much do you know of the tale?{S}
 That does explain much.{S}
 No doubt such a tale has mutated much over time and telling.{S}
 You do not have to answer if you do not want to.{S}
 Or do not.{S}
 You found it fun?{S}
 You really had no trouble with them?{S}
 Flemeth used you as bait?{S}
 Did you actually kill them all?{S}
 Surely more would have followed.{S}
 Do not you regret hurting any of those men at all?{S}
 I have no opinion on the matter.{S}
 "We will fight you to the end?"{S}
 Have you no responsibility to those around you?{S}
 Do you still think that was fun?{S}
 They got what they deserved.{S}
 I did not even know there was such a thing.{S}
 All right, but make it quick.{S}
 I have heard a little of it.{S}
 Spare me the bedtime stories. <emp>Find a way to free Sten</emp>{S}
 Cammen is in love with Gheyna, but she will not agree to a bonding until Cammen has completed his hunt.{S}
 You told Gheyna that she needs a real man to fulfill her needs, and seduced her. <emp>Talk to Cammen</emp>{S}
 She realizes now that all that matters is the love between her and Cammen; everything else will fall into place eventually.{S}
 Cammen has left the camp, crushed.{S}
 He claims that he has been harassed by a talking tree he calls "the Grand Oak" and has asked you to slay it for him.{S}
 You have encountered a friendly sylvan in the Brecilian Forest that speaks in strange rhymes.{S}
 The Grand Oak claims that a mad hermit elsewhere in the forest has stolen its precious acorn, and it has asked you to get it back for him.{S}
 You have slain the sylvan known as the Grand Oak.{S}
 Whatever information it might have possessed has no doubt died with it.{S}
 Many centuries, before this land was even named Ferelden.{S}
 Lord Conobar approached young Osen and offered him wealth and power in exchange for his lovely wife.{S}
 All would have been well had Lord Conobar kept his end of the bargain.{S}
 But he was a foul man who bargained with coin he did not possess.{S}
 Osen was led off to a field and slain, left for dead.{S}
 There she found the demon and he made her strong.{S}
 You would be surprised at how little my mother cares what I or others think of her past.{S}
 The truth of the matter is that there was never an invasion.{S}
 As Flemeth tells it, the Chasind never raised an army under her banner and she never fought with any warrior named Cormac.{S}
 Cormac led a brutal civil war against his own people, and later claimed it was to vanquish evil that had taken root amongst the lords.{S}
 Perhaps 'twas due to the great war with the Chasind that eventually came, but Mother claims not to know how it began.{S}
 I do not believe everything that Flemeth claims.{S}
 Oft it seems her bitterness has colored her memories.{S}
 The demon within her has transformed her into... something else.{S}
 A blade in her heart would kill her like any other, were it lucky enough to find her.{S}
 You ask if I have sisters?{S}
 I have asked of this, myself.{S}
 And these tales existed long before I did.{S}
 They say that one day she hunted them all through the Wilds and ate their hearts.{S}
 I have never seen another witch or heard of one.{S}
 Perhaps one day Flemeth will eat my heart, as well.{S}
 Few are abominations of legend, 'tis true, but I find myself curious nevertheless.{S}
 Then you have my sympathies, for what it is worth.{S}
 It matters not.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 I find myself a little envious, to tell the truth.{S}
 But it matters not.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 I have thought so on occasion, myself, but there it is.{S}
 Conobar had no honor, so she would not have him.{S}
 'Twas you who made the query of Flemeth.{S}
 Why ask, if you do not wish to know?{S}
 Yes, I have heard this part.{S}
 He sold his wife to another man?{S}
 Flemeth must have been angry.{S}
 Seems like a fair deal.{S}
 Do you believe her version?{S}
 How is it that Flemeth has survived for so long?{S}
 The legend tells of Flemeth having many daughters?{S}
 What else do you want to know?{S}
 Keep your curiosity to yourself.{S}
 Even my people have heard of Cormac.{S}
 But wasn't she now married to a wealthier man?{S}
 The Grand Oak has his acorn back.{S}
 It was very grateful and has given you an enchanted branch, which will allow you to travel into the center of the forest where the werewolf lair exists. <emp>Find a werewolf pelt</emp>{S}
 The strange hermit you found in the forest claims that the key to getting into the center of the forest is to fool the trees into thinking that you are a werewolf.{S}
 He says he can help you do this if you bring him a werewolf pelt. <emp>Return the acorn to the Grand Oak</emp>{S}
 You will do no such thing.{S}
 We got a good thing going here, and you and your... mighty....{S}
 All right, you have a point.{S}
 Have a nice day in Lothering, now.{S}
 And who is gonna make me leave 'em?{S}
 Do, and may the Maker teach you the error of your ways.{S}
 If what you seek is to remove the demon from the child without harming the child, there is a way indeed.{S}
 It requires lyrium and group of mages to cast the ritual... neither of which we have, yes?{S}
 And had we those things, it would still fall on one mage alone to defeat the demon.{S}
 No simple task, but there you have it.{S}
 We have never talked about our nights together.{S}
 We need to discuss us.{S}
 Whatever potential information he might have had has no doubt perished with him.{S}
 The hermit took the werewolf pelt you brought to him and enchanted it.{S}
 He says it will fool the forest into believing you are a werewolf, allowing you to pass freely into the forest center where the werewolves lie.{S}
 You took the knowledge of the Arcane Warrior from the Presence, but refused to set it free. <emp>Grant the Presence oblivion</emp>{S}
 You found an artifact, a Life Gem, that appears to contain the essence of a person who lived many generations ago.{S}
 You found an artifact, a Life Gem, that appears to contain the essence of a person who lived many generations ago.{S}
 You told the Presence you were not interested in anything it had to offer, and refused to release it.{S}
 Placing the Life Gem on the altar destroyed it, granting the Presence the release it had craved for centuries.{S}
 Let me talk, then, and you shall listen.{S}
 What was done had to be done.{S}
 I shall be leaving, as I said, and so this... entanglement of ours must end.{S}
 Do you understand?{S}
 If it shall make this easier... then yes, that is all it was.{S}
 I... should have known better.{S}
 I should have maintained my distance, as I knew what was to come.{S}
 That... and perhaps some things I did not want.{S}
 I should have known better.{S}
 To accept this would make things far easier for you.{S}
 What was done had to be done.{S}
 Let us not complicate matters further.{S}
 You have no idea.{S}
 But let us not forget that you got something out of this, as well.{S}
 If you wish to spend that life being resentful of me, by all means.{S}
 But it lasts only so long as the child inside me does.{S}
 Now let us finish this and be done.{S}
 You are free to try and stop me.{S}
 Got what you came for, did you?{S}
 No, I do not understand.{S}
 Why do you have to go?{S}
 And what if I do not let you go?{S}
 When I asked you to join me in my tent...{S}
 We must end this.{S}
 Forget I brought it up.{S}
 The steps depicted on the earthen tablet for the elven ritual appear to have been completed.{S}
 The last pictograph shows an elaborate door either opening or closing.{S}
 Perhaps the ritual has changed something nearby?{S}
 According to the tablet, the doorway leads to the honored dead. <emp>Complete the ancient ritual</emp>{S}
 In attempting to perform the elven ritual , you have set off some kind of trap.{S}
 But perhaps she is right and the Maker has love for all his creations.{S}
 The Lady of the Forest wishes to see Zathrian so she can convince him to end the curse that plagues both the werewolves and the elves.{S}
 She has opened up a passage that will take you quickly to the surface.{S}
 You led the werewolves to the Dalish camp to exact vengeance upon Zathrian for what he did.{S}
 Zathrian and many of the Dalish lie dead, but you have earned the trust of Swiftrunner and his kin.{S}
 They will make a powerful addition to your army.{S}
 I was glad to get away, to be honest.{S}
 What difference does that make? <emp>Return to the elves to tell them of Zathrian's sacrifice</emp>{S}
 Zathrian, after years of anger, has finally let go of his hatred.{S}
 He ended the spell that bound the Lady of the Forest to Witherfang, and with that ended his own life.{S}
 The werewolf curse has been lifted off both the wolves, and the elves.{S}
 It is time to return to the Dalish, to tell them of Zathrian's sacrifice. <emp>Bring Witherfang's heart to Lanaya</emp>{S}
 After helping Zathrian to kill Witherfang, Zathrian revealed that Lanaya could do the ritual without him.{S}
 You should take the heart to Lanaya now.{S}
 Witherfang's heart has cured the elves.{S}
 Cut from the body of Witherfang, this still-warm heart may end the curse on the elves.{S}
 Somewhat blue in color, this rare wood is found only in the Brecilian Forest.{S}
 I thought maybe you might need another Grey Warden when you find the archdemon, but have it your way.{S}
 I know we haven't always gotten along, but... good luck.{S}
 Just remember that ritual is not going to help if you get your head squashed first.{S}
 We will not forget the sacrifice you are making.{S}
 You are not just trying to keep me safely out of the fight, I hope.{S}
 But there is no use in arguing about it, is there?{S}
 We do not have time and... you are a stubborn, stubborn woman.{S}
 Rub it in, why do not you?{S}
 Know me too well, do you? <desc>Sigh</desc> You are probably right.{S}
 I will do my best out here.{S}
 I do not want to lose another Grey Warden, nor another friend.{S}
 We will not forget the sacrifice you are making.{S}
 Do I even want to know?{S}
 Just find it, then.{S}
 That has something to do with... last night, does not it?{S}
 You said you would help me be king, and I am not letting you off if you go dying or something.{S}
 I guess this is the last chance we will get... before this is finished, one way or another.{S}
 I do not know about you, but I am hoping for a miracle.{S}
 Other than that, I am keeping my fingers crossed.{S}
 I guess we do.{S}
 And I will make sure they do not forget you either.{S}
 Either we both die trying to kill it, or one of us dies making the final blow.{S}
 Let us find this archdemon, then, and kick its ass.{S}
 I know Morrigan's... what she did is supposed to save us, but who knows if she can be trusted?{S}
 Or if we will even survive long enough to take that final blow.{S}
 Then let us hope for a miracle.{S}
 You put more faith in Morrigan than I would in your shoes.{S}
 Just remember that her ritual does not protect us from getting squished by the archdemon.{S}
 So let us kick it is ass.{S}
 You made me king.{S}
 After all this is over with, they are actually going to put me on the throne.{S}
 Do you have any idea what you have done to me?{S}
 How could you do this to me?{S}
 I suppose I would have been mad about this before, but since our talk after seeing my sister... well, perhaps this is not so bad.{S}
 Why would you do this to me?{S}
 How could you do this to me?!{S}
 I have done nothing but regret my blood since the day I was born.{S}
 I do not want this.{S}
 I knew that Arl Eamon wanted this for me, but I never did.{S}
 I thought for sure that there would be a way out of it, but then you went and put me on the throne yourself.{S}
 I know you do not give a damn how I feel about anything, but why would you do this to me?{S}
 Do you hate me that much?{S}
 You knew how I felt about this, yet you went ahead and did it anyway.{S}
 And here I thought I only had the darkspawn to worry about.{S}
 With friends like you, who needs enemies, right?{S}
 And what I want does not factor in anywhere, does it?{S}
 Funny how it always works out like that.{S}
 She would have executed me, so that would have been bad.{S}
 I have just... never thought of myself as a leader.{S}
 I am going to make a terrible king, you have to know that.{S}
 How can I make decisions that are going to affect the lives of everyone in the kingdom?{S}
 I guess I do not really have a choice in this now, do I?{S}
 I will do my best, of course.{S}
 You are the one who got me into this mess.{S}
 You owe me, that is what I think.{S}
 If I am going to rule over anyone, I want you there to see me suffer.{S}
 You are the one who got me into this mess.{S}
 It was your decision, but you do not need to be involved with it?{S}
 Have it your way, then.{S}
 Have it your way, then.{S}
 Well, that option is not really open to me any more, is it?{S}
 As a matter of fact, I insist.{S}
 Do not get me wrong, I am sure I can do well enough if I try.{S}
 But I would not be in this position if it were not for you, so in a way you owe me.{S}
 What do you say?{S}
 I think I would have been furious at you once, but since our talk after seeing my sister... well, I suppose this might not be such a bad thing.{S}
 I might actually make a good king, you never know.{S}
 I will make a far better king if I have the right people by my side to help me once I am on the throne.{S}
 We... need to talk.{S}
 I do not really question why you did what you did.{S}
 I did not want to become king, and you knew that, but it had to be.{S}
 But... being king, that raises some questions about us.{S}
 Let us not kid each other.{S}
 I have been able to think about almost nothing else since the Landsmeet.{S}
 I have thought of almost nothing else since the Landsmeet, believe me.{S}
 You do not think so?{S}
 Maybe you are right, but I have thought of almost nothing else since the Landsmeet.{S}
 You know that Grey Wardens do not usually live to become old, right?{S}
 The taint in our blood... the taint we took in at the Joining... it will kill us in the long run.{S}
 As king, I will be required to have a child.{S}
 That is assuming that someone with the taint can or even should have a child.{S}
 I mean... both of us have tainted blood.{S}
 Even one parent having tainted blood is not recommended, but I suppose I will have no choice.{S}
 Even one parent having tainted blood means having children is not recommended.{S}
 All the Grey Wardens I knew with children had them before they joined the Order.{S}
 I will need to find a wife, one who can bear a child.{S}
 Who will live to raise it.{S}
 I do not relish it, but...{S}
 I will have a duty as the king.{S}
 You mean a great deal to me.{S}
 I was hoping that it would lead to something more, but...{S}
 I have to face what this means.{S}
 I have to face what this means.{S}
 I know this is selfish of me, but if we continue as we have been...{S}
 I am just not sure I will be able to do this later.{S}
 I have to do it now.{S}
 I... need to go back to the camp.{S}
 I really do.{S}
 Make my queen a laughing stock as I carry on with whomever I please?{S}
 We still have our duty as Grey Wardens to fulfill.{S}
 If I do not end it now, I fear I never will be able to.{S}
 I have no choice.{S}
 I said I understand why you decided what you did, and I do.{S}
 If this is what must be, then... then I have to do it now.{S}
 Please do not say it like that.{S}
 I did not know it would turn out like this.{S}
 Meaning that I could be married and a father and yet still see... whomever I wanted on the side?{S}
 No, I could not do that.{S}
 You mean... marry who I want?{S}
 Carry on with whomever I want?{S}
 You do not think that would be very unfair?{S}
 If I do not do this now, I will never be able to.{S}
 My duty as the king must... it must take precedence.{S}
 But... my duty as the king has to take precedence.{S}
 But I have to do this now or I never will.{S}
 If they want to make me king, then... then I will be king.{S}
 And I will do exactly what I want to do.{S}
 I feel like such an idiot for bringing this up, now.{S}
 All right, then, just let me put my glum face on.{S}
 I will take my punishment like a man.{S}
 We will have to discuss my punishment later on, I see.{S}
 Then let us forget about it.{S}
 Maybe we did not.{S}
 Really, whatever we have... it is just started.{S}
 Maybe this is just all in my head, and you do not feel the same at all.{S}
 Are you just trying to make it easier for me?{S}
 I guess it does not matter, really, does it?{S}
 It does not need to go any further than this.{S}
 No matter how much I might have wished otherwise.{S}
 I thought... well, it does not matter what I thought.{S}
 Thank you for making this... easier.{S}
 She will have my child, if I can give her one.{S}
 I will have a duty as the king.{S}
 But... being king, being engaged to Anora... that raises some questions about us.{S}
 I am not going to question why you made me king.{S}
 I even think I am starting to come around on the idea, anyhow... it could be an interesting future for me.{S}
 I am taking only those I need to help me fight.{S}
 The archdemon does not stand a chance.{S}
 You and I both know how this ends.{S}
 Do not worry about me.{S}
 We do not have time for good-byes.{S}
 Because I do not like you?{S}
 I am not going to risk you getting hurt, Alistair.{S}
 I can not have that.{S}
 You would do something foolish.{S}
 You have to be king, Alistair.{S}
 I do not need you doing something foolish for me.{S}
 I do not plan on dying.{S}
 I do not plan on dying.{S}
 I still love you; I do not care what you say.{S}
 If I fall, you need to warn the Grey Wardens.{S}
 We have got work to do.{S}
 You have been a good friend.{S}
 I am sorry it has to end this way.{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 Do not you think this is a good thing?{S}
 I do not hate you.{S}
 I do not see why you are so upset about this.{S}
 Your country needs you, Alistair.{S}
 You would prefer that Anora ruled on her own?{S}
 Would you prefer I gave Anora the throne instead?{S}
 Do not be absurd.{S}
 You will not need my help, Alistair.{S}
 I will have to think about it.{S}
 I would not have it any other way.{S}
 It does not need to impact on us at all.{S}
 How does that affect anything?{S}
 I still do not see how that affects us.{S}
 Are you suggesting I have this child?{S}
 I assume Anora will be having your child.{S}
 Do not Grey Wardens have children?{S}
 I am sorry it had to come to this, Alistair.{S}
 But do what you want.{S}
 Why do this now?{S}
 Is this revenge for my making you king?{S}
 So we had sex, and now... that is it?{S}
 Nobody can force the king to do anything he does not want to.{S}
 Perhaps you should do what pleases you, for once.{S}
 You will have to earn it, I think.{S}
 Who says we ever had a future?{S}
 It needn't go any further than it has.{S}
 So those... designs you have all over your back...{S}
 And I have them in many more places than just on my back, my friend.{S}
 I hear that someone gets those by having needles put the ink under your skin?{S}
 Did not that hurt?{S}
 If you like, I could give you one.{S}
 No, I do not think so.{S}
 What have you heard?{S}
 Even the ones that talk about how you all... you know... get paid to...{S}
 I have been thinking about those ink drawings, what did you call them?{S}
 Are you... still willing to do one?{S}
 You have decided to take the plunge, have you?{S}
 When can you do it?{S}
 There is an entire ritual to how this is done, do you not know?{S}
 First I need to bathe you in a mixture of olives and rosewater.{S}
 You need to... bathe me?{S}
 It needs to be worked into your skin, preparing it to receive the ink.{S}
 The massage is quite pleasurable, do not worry.{S}
 You are... having me on, are not you?{S}
 So how much did you charge to... you know... kill someone?{S}
 Did it depend on who they were?{S}
 Are you thinking of having someone murdered, my friend Alistair?{S}
 It just seems odd to me that you could make a living doing that.{S}
 Or that you would need an entire guild just to handle so many... jobs.{S}
 "Politics and death go together like kisses and love-making."{S}
 It costs a great deal depending on how experienced the Crow is... and how difficult the target is to kill.{S}
 So let me ask you something.{S}
 Do not dodge the question.{S}
 You did try to kill us all, remember?{S}
 And now I owe her a blood debt, as she has spared my life.{S}
 It has brought us... closer together.{S}
 I will be keeping an eye on you.{S}
 Do I detect a bit of jealousy there?{S}
 Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?{S}
 You may ask, but I may choose not to answer.{S}
 Have you... had very many women in your time?{S}
 I have indulged from time to time, perhaps, when my interest is not elsewhere.{S}
 Well, how do you... woo them?{S}
 I do not know what else to call it.{S}
 So let me get this straight.{S}
 You have... never wooed?{S}
 So what do you have to say about me becoming king?{S}
 I suppose you do not care?{S}
 A most unusual way to pick a king, however.{S}
 How does a king get picked in Antiva?{S}
 Provided they make it to the election without being first assassinated.{S}
 Makes me wonder why anyone would even want to be king.{S}
 Why, we start assassinating those who we think should run until someone does.{S}
 Never let it be said that the Crows are not patriots.{S}
 But I still have... all the abilities of one, of course.{S}
 That does not... make you nervous?{S}
 But you have had more experience with the templars than her.{S}
 The templars serve a function, and a necessary one.{S}
 If what has happened at the tower proves anything, it is that we mages can be dangerous... even to ourselves.{S}
 So tell me, you have any children?{S}
 I do not know, great grandchildren?{S}
 What would make you think I have any children at all?{S}
 You have to know I have spent most of my life in the Circle of Magi.{S}
 You just seem like the grandmotherly type to me, I do not know.{S}
 I suppose I will take that as a comment on my demeanor and not my age.{S}
 Mages are not forbidden to marry or anything, are they?{S}
 What sort of man would marry a mage, do you think?{S}
 Although that does not stop us from seeking out each other's... company from time to time.{S}
 I... all right, suddenly you do not seem quite so grandmotherly to me anymore.{S}
 You know, of all the mages I have met you have to be the first one I can honestly say I have really liked.{S}
 I am quite touched.{S}
 I imagine my son would have grown up to be someone like you.{S}
 I thought you said you were never married?{S}
 I never have been.{S}
 Then this wasn't... before you joined the Circle?{S}
 I joined the Circle at the age of nine.{S}
 Do you still like me?{S}
 It appears you got away from the Chantry just in time.{S}
 You have heard?{S}
 You do not think that it is... dangerous?{S}
 I will admit that the thought did cross my mind, several times.{S}
 I am trying to rant, here.{S}
 So... what would you do if someone told you that they loved you?{S}
 That should not be too hard, but I will give it a try.{S}
 Does this someone just blurt it out?{S}
 Do I love them back?{S}
 I need context.{S}
 I do not know if you love him back.{S}
 Maybe you do.{S}
 You have... spent a lot of time with this person.{S}
 Perhaps you need to wait for the right moment?{S}
 You could get her alone in camp, give her a gift perhaps.{S}
 Do you think the tower is ever going to get back to what it was, Wynne?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Do you think you will be there?{S}
 I think you overestimate the number of years I have left.{S}
 I have a hard time believing that.{S}
 Well, it is good to have someone that believes in me so.{S}
 It might have been closer to thirty.{S}
 What did you <emp>do</emp>?{S}
 I mean... twenty days is a long time to sit in one place and do nothing.{S}
 On good days, I posed riddles to the passersby, offering them treasures in exchange for correct answers.{S}
 You know, you never did tell me how you passed the time in that cage for so long.{S}
 I spy with my little eye, something that begins with...{S}
 So I suppose once I am actually king I could end up in negotiations with the qunari one day.{S}
 My people do not negotiate.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 They negotiated a peace treaty after the war, and as far as I know they have kept to its terms.{S}
 They do.{S}
 The honor of the qunari is what will bring our warships back to your shores.{S}
 Did you... sleep?{S}
 I have no need to sleep.{S}
 My body does not tire or do--ugh--other flesh-related functions.{S}
 But do not you get bored?{S}
 I do not dream.{S}
 This is what it does when it sleeps?{S}
 There is little else to do.{S}
 I will not be doing much of <emp>that</emp> anymore.{S}
 So tell me something... do you feel pain?{S}
 When you get hit in combat?{S}
 I do not think I would call it distress, exactly.{S}
 I do not have a "bird thing."{S}
 I have an extremely justified rage of the flying vermin that plague this world!{S}
 Like the ones you eat!{S}
 I approve of the ritual slaying of the foul beasts, but--it eats one?{S}
 You just need to rip off the feathers, first.{S}
 So do you ever want to go back?{S}
 Point taken.{S}
 I know how I was made.{S}
 It who has had so much more should do half as well.{S}
 It did not sound like a question.{S}
 How in the Maker's name do you manage to be constantly drunk?{S}
 Are we even carrying that much alcohol with us?{S}
 I never get to be drunk.{S}
 So... that game you were playing in camp, what was that?{S}
 You have never played Diamondback, have you?{S}
 I have... heard of it.{S}
 I thought it was a card game played by dwarven... er...{S}
 Err... what does that have to do with card games?{S}
 Even a noble hunter can get bored.{S}
 Tell you what, do not ever bet your clothes.{S}
 I will... take your word on it.{S}
 So you and Branka were really married?{S}
 Tell you what, boy: you ever been married?{S}
 I was raised in the Chantry.{S}
 Thank the hardest stone you can find.{S}
 So no pitter-patter of little Oghren feet running around the home cave, I take it?{S}
 All I ever got out of that moss-licker was a headache, a deaf ear, a scratched-up back and that rash it took three different ointments to get rid of.{S}
 Wow, she gave up on you, did she?{S}
 So... let me get this straight.{S}
 You must have been a brother before you became a templar, no?{S}
 I was recruited into the Grey Wardens before I took my final vows.{S}
 Do you ever regret leaving the Chantry?{S}
 Do you?{S}
 You may not believe it, but I found peace there.{S}
 The kind of peace I have never known.{S}
 It used to get so quiet at the monastery that I would start screaming until one of the brothers came running.{S}
 I... no, I never did anything like that.{S}
 You know, I have heard about the Orlesian bards.{S}
 It had to do with how a bard assassinated her target.{S}
 Oh, I do not know, there is a certain allure to danger, is not there?{S}
 I would take my chances.{S}
 We had rules about that sort of thing.{S}
 Strict rules.{S}
 Let us just say I had plenty of reasons to join the Chantry, shall we?{S}
 So what do you think will happen to all those people we left behind in Lothering?{S}
 Some of them will find their way to Denerim.{S}
 Do not you wish you could have stayed there?{S}
 This is the greater good we are serving, both of us, right here.{S}
 So it is all right to let some people die for the greater good?{S}
 You are doing what you must, Alistair.{S}
 There will be worse to come yet... you will need to steel yourself, you know this.{S}
 I have never been very good at that.{S}
 I find it better sometimes to just be a little weak.{S}
 I do not believe you.{S}
 And either way, it is not as if any of us has a choice.{S}
 So let me get this straight.{S}
 Gave you a mission?{S}
 People have claimed that the Maker has talked to them before.{S}
 You do not think that I have asked myself that once or twice?{S}
 You have asked yourself that?{S}
 And what did the Maker have to say about it?{S}
 Oh, I do not know.{S}
 And you are making fun of me now.{S}
 So have you heard?{S}
 Have you nothing better to do than spread idle gossip.{S}
 No, look, he is not even paying attention.{S}
 You do not... think that he is serious about it, do you?{S}
 You are the one who started this, I might remind you.{S}
 And I am... well, I am ending it!{S}
 So I am wondering something... what exactly does a woman see in a man like Zevran?{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 It is just... does not he seem to be a bit too much?{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Do you have a problem with him?{S}
 Beyond the fact that he is an assassin who is tried to kill us more than once.{S}
 Do women go for that sort of thing?{S}
 Where I come from they do, oh yes.{S}
 So... this thing you and him have going?{S}
 Does not that violate your vows?{S}
 What do we "have going?"{S}
 I so totally did not see you ogling each other before.{S}
 I do not know...{S}
 You can not do that!{S}
 You could not do that...{S}
 Next thing you will have me pulling his hair and passing him love letters.{S}
 So... let us talk about your mother for a moment.{S}
 You would find the moss growing upon a stone interesting.{S}
 You did not read that in a book somewhere, did you?{S}
 I hope the small letters did not strain you overmuch.{S}
 That works for me.{S}
 Did you live there in that forest your entire life?{S}
 Mother occasionally had... company.{S}
 Do I even want to ask?{S}
 You really do not.{S}
 Why do you always go on about how stupid I am?{S}
 If you need to ask the question...{S}
 They do not make stupid templars.{S}
 Then I must have been mistaken.{S}
 Your Chantry must have been very proud.{S}
 I have come up with one, a question that you can not answer.{S}
 I have got an academic question that I bet you will not be able to answer.{S}
 So tell me, then: what was the name of Andraste's husband?{S}
 Do you not know more than a child?{S}
 I care nothing for your religion.{S}
 Oh, how the mighty have crumbled.{S}
 So what is the deal with you and him, anyway?{S}
 Mister Let us-Make-Kissy-Faces over there.{S}
 Did I take your favorite Grey Warden away from you?{S}
 If I feel the need to suck on anything of yours, Alistair, you will be the first to know.{S}
 Perhaps we should go and tell him together about your touching concerns?{S}
 Perhaps he will pay more attention to you if you ask nicely.{S}
 I think we are done here.{S}
 Done before you started, in fact.{S}
 Yes, it rather met all my expectations.{S}
 You do not think you might have been better off getting your training there?{S}
 Instead of whatever your mother taught you?{S}
 My mother did not nearly have as many abominations running about.{S}
 That certainly would have improved my education.{S}
 I will give you that one.{S}
 So you have heard, I hope?{S}
 Well, they do not let just anyone be king, you know.{S}
 They do not let evil forest witches be king, for instance.{S}
 There was a Fereldan king once who drooled on himself in such volume that he required a constant attendant to wipe his chin in court.{S}
 You are making that up.{S}
 The kings of old would be pleased to see that their bloodline has not strayed very far from its roots.{S}
 I need to tell you something I, ah, should probably have told you earlier.{S}
 It already has, after all.{S}
 Now I can stop worrying I will be found out.{S}
 I am trying to be serious, here.{S}
 I am trying to be serious, here.{S}
 I am not trying to be cute, I am trying to be serious.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I have never liked it, that is for sure.{S}
 I told you before how Arl Eamon raised me, right?{S}
 That my mother was a serving girl at the castle and he took me in?{S}
 The reason he did that was because... well, because my father was King Maric.{S}
 Which made Cailan my... half-brother, I suppose.{S}
 Yes, I guess it does at that.{S}
 I should use that line more often. <desc>Sigh</desc> How?{S}
 "Oh, by the way, King Maric had sex with a servant and she produced a bastard son.{S}
 I would have told you, but... it never really meant anything to me.{S}
 I was inconvenient, a possible threat to Cailan's rule and so they kept me secret.{S}
 I have never talked about it to anyone.{S}
 Everyone who knew either resented me for it or they coddled me... even Duncan kept me out of the fighting because of it.{S}
 I did not want you to know, as long as possible.{S}
 I do not know if that means anything, though...{S}
 Yes, because we have gotten along so swimmingly before now?{S}
 I know I should have said something.{S}
 This... it is never brought me anything but problems.{S}
 It is not like I got special treatment for it, anyhow.{S}
 Arl Eamon eventually married a young woman from Orlais, despite all the problems it caused with the king so soon after the war.{S}
 He loved her a great deal.{S}
 The arl did not care, but she did.{S}
 The arlessa made sure the castle wasn't a home to me by that point.{S}
 I wasn't raised as the arl's son, though, if you are picturing that.{S}
 I remember I had an amulet with Andraste's holy symbol on it.{S}
 The only thing I had of my mother's.{S}
 So there you have it.{S}
 The reason I think we have a chance of setting things right.{S}
 I can not believe I did not say something sooner to you.{S}
 I do not feel very lucky at all, to be honest.{S}
 My blood has never been important to me.{S}
 I have spent my whole life trying to forget about it and being told that I would never sit on the throne.{S}
 At any rate, I do not look anything like him... you will see for yourself.{S}
 It was just a kindness he did to a woman who had served him.{S}
 I did not sleep on silk sheets in the keep, you know.{S}
 Oh no, no I do not like the sound of that, if that is where you are going.{S}
 It was made very clear to me early on that there is no room for me on the throne.{S}
 I have no illusions about my status, however.{S}
 It is always been made very clear that I am a commoner and now a Grey Warden and in no way in line for the throne.{S}
 Let us hope not.{S}
 It was made very clear to me early on that there was no room for me raising any rebellions or such nonsense.{S}
 Someone to find attractive the one thing I hate the most.{S}
 Did I just find the one damn decent thing about my birthright?{S}
 I think I did.{S}
 Maker's breath, just hearing that gives me a heart attack!{S}
 It was always made clear that the throne is not in my future.{S}
 No, if there is an heir to be found, it is Arl Eamon himself.{S}
 Well, let us see.{S}
 How do I tell you this?{S}
 Did I say how I know Arl Eamon, exactly?{S}
 Wait, do not answer that.{S}
 Just let me finish.{S}
 My mother was a serving girl at Redcliffe castle and she died when I was born.{S}
 Arl Eamon took me in and raised me before I was sent to the Chantry.{S}
 Let me guess: You are an idiot.{S}
 Why did you wait to tell me this?{S}
 Does not that make you the heir to the throne?{S}
 You do not think you might have told me this before?{S}
 And what does that make me?{S}
 Did she know the truth about you?{S}
 I think you said he raised you.{S}
 What is there to speak of? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Do you wish me to tell you how wonderful you are?{S}
 Why do not you prove it to me, hmm?{S}
 I do not...{S}
 I have no patience for this sort of blather.{S}
 Then this has been a very productive discussion, has it not?{S}
 Let us have more of them.{S}
 Oh, has my poor widdle man's feelings been hurt?{S}
 What do you say I kiss it and make it better, hmm?{S}
 What do you foresee?{S}
 What do I want?{S}
 Let us speak of it another time.{S}
 Do you have something else in mind?{S}
 I did not say that, precisely.{S}
 So you have said.{S}
 Am I supposed to take this as an endearment?{S}
 I shall take that as a compliment, whether intended or not.{S}
 It is a clumsy start, but we can move onto the flirting, if you like.{S}
 Please continue while I pretend not to listen. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Let us continue on, then, while I think of something to rhyme.{S}
 It warms my heart to know you care so.{S}
 I do know this.{S}
 In fact, you have said so before.{S}
 Do you have something else to say?{S}
 Then let us contemplate our brilliance in silence.{S}
 Let us ponder these wishes in silence, shall we?{S}
 Yes, I do in fact know that.{S}
 Would you like a recitation of adjectives I could use for you?{S}
 I do not care what you think.{S}
 Or what you think of me, for that matter.{S}
 Do you wish me to leave?{S}
 Sadly, we do not all get everything we want, do we?{S}
 Then I assume our discussion ends here.{S}
 You helped me avoid the fate my mother had in store for me.{S}
 Because I need your help with my mother, of course.{S}
 Do you wish me to leave?{S}
 I can do so, if you prefer.{S}
 If I leave, I can be of no further use to you.{S}
 May you find your victory on your own.{S}
 Then why do you ask such a question?{S}
 If you have something to ask, then ask it.{S}
 I do not enjoy this dance.{S}
 I remain, so do not ask such pointless questions.{S}
 End...?{S}
 Does this have something to do with Leliana?{S}
 No, do not answer that.{S}
 I do not wish to know.{S}
 I have enjoyed our... closeness.{S}
 I do not wish to know anything.{S}
 Let us do that.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 Do you really think I want those things?{S}
 If you do not want any of those things, then fine.{S}
 Do you always have to make light of everything?{S}
 You are of no use to me now.{S}
 No, I do not want you to leave.{S}
 I was thinking maybe you had other reasons.{S}
 Do you want to leave?{S}
 The sight of it would probably cause a squirrel to die of sheer joy.{S}
 Unlike gloves, they offer neither warmth nor style.{S}
 I honestly do not know, my lady.{S}
 I believe you heard me, as I did not stutter.{S}
 I shall see you tonight, my lady, after dinner is done and everyone has retired.{S}
 Did I not just overhear you asking my mother's lady-in-waiting this exact thing?{S}
 You make me blush.{S}
 I am an open book, my lady.{S}
 Perhaps I should not take up your time further, then.{S}
 We never had a caste to leave.{S}
 The Assembly says we have turned our back on the Stone, but they still use the goods we bring.{S}
 Someone has to.{S}
 My grandfather says I have lost my stone sense.{S}
 I do not remember having it.{S}
 Does not that mean as much as who is king?{S}
 Did you lose your caste when you left Orzammar?{S}
 How often do you restock in Orzammar?{S}
 This land is held in trust for the sovereign dwarven kings.{S}
 I cannot allow entry at this time.{S}
 I do not care if you are the king's wiper, Orzammar will have none but its own until our throne is settled.{S}
 The Assembly has gone through a dozen votes without agreeing on a successor.{S}
 Threatening a sovereign guardsman only shows how far from House Aeducan you have fallen.{S}
 Who can blame him for seeking peace among the ancestors?{S}
 Any dwarf who chooses to walk topside chooses to be excluded.{S}
 No one gets in.{S}
 Orzammar has no king.{S}
 You have done me a service.{S}
 Are all humans so touched?{S}
 I knew you would not get much help of them.{S}
 I did not kill Trian!{S}
 How did Endrin die?{S}
 Let me pass.{S}
 I have important business in Orzammar.{S}
 Took them long enough to reach a sodding decision!{S}
 They have picked a king.{S}
 People are starting to look at you.{S}
 They say King Endrin named an heir on his deathbed, but the deshyrs are too busy fighting for power.{S}
 I met him once.{S}
 Did not even mind talking with one of the merchant-caste.{S}
 If he wasn't prince, he would be the kind of man I would not want my daughter marrying.{S}
 He is always paid on time, ten percent up front.{S}
 Do not go getting all imperious.{S}
 I hope you find something to your liking.{S}
 I do not do business with your kind.{S}
 I do not do business with casteless.{S}
 I remember that Proving.{S}
 The, uh, one from the Proving, right?{S}
 Let me know if there is anything you want to see.{S}
 Sorry, friend, but I am almost sold out.{S}
 But you are welcome to take a look through what is left.{S}
 Sorry, friend, but I am almost sold out.{S}
 King Harrowmont's man Dulin was just here, buying stock to equip a whole army.{S}
 Do you know Lord Bhelen at all?{S}
 Do you know anything about Lord Harrowmont?{S}
 I need to talk to someone in authority.{S}
 So, what do you dwarves do for fun around here?{S}
 Let me see your inventory.{S}
 Take a close look.{S}
 I am <FirstName/>, a Grey Warden, and you will sell to me.{S}
 Let me see what you have got.{S}
 I thought perhaps you were raised in the way of the Chantry.{S}
 I am petitioning to open a chantry in Orzammar.{S}
 The shaper of memories has refused me so far.{S}
 Well, if you have a change of heart, let me know.{S}
 You speak as if these people have deliberately chosen to reject the Maker.{S}
 But most of them haven't even heard His name.{S}
 How can they choose the path of enlightenment if they never learn that path exists?{S}
 The Maker took her up to live at His right hand and--{S}
 It is clear you have strayed too far to be brought back with a single conversation.{S}
 Do you have any influence with the shaper of memories?{S}
 I need the shaper of memories' permission to open a prayer meeting.{S}
 You are from the surface; you know the Chantry's good works.{S}
 A chantry here could provide more than just spiritual guidance.{S}
 Too many in Orzammar spend their lives overlooked.{S}
 Does this mean you are--you will help me, then?{S}
 Please, let me know as soon as you have heard anything.{S}
 Even with our new king on the throne, I need the shaper of memories' permission to open a prayer meeting.{S}
 It is a great pleasure to meet a fellow believer.{S}
 The Maker brought forth this world and every creature in it.{S}
 He chose a human woman as His prophet and bride, but He loves all races.{S}
 Is there something you seek?{S}
 But I have an audience with the shaper this afternoon.{S}
 Of course, the shaper has heard my plea before.{S}
 Um, I mean, with the Maker guiding me, I have no need for mere luck.{S}
 Have you spoken with the shaper yet?{S}
 Well... perhaps more prosaic tasks have occupied you today, but it was no small favor you promised.{S}
 You offered to ask the shaper of memories to allow a chantry within Orzammar's walls.{S}
 Andraste teaches that patience is the child of wisdom, but I am eager to hear if you have seen the shaper.{S}
 Well, I should not have asked another to meet the challenge the Maker has set before me.{S}
 I already found a convert among the merchants who offered his shop as a temporary chantry.{S}
 The Chant of Light will reach all corners of the world.{S}
 We will never forget who made this possible.{S}
 The Chantry never turns away a soul in need.{S}
 Tell this woman that the Chantry will raise her child without questions.{S}
 Whatever her reasons for giving him up, she can know he always has a place with us.{S}
 To send someone like yourself on such a mission, I suspect she needs more than that.{S}
 But send her here and she will find succor for any wounds, of the body or soul.{S}
 I will, um, see what I can do.{S}
 Let me know how it turns out.{S}
 Whose permission do you need to open a chantry?{S}
 Do you want me to talk to him for you?{S}
 You would probably make a more convincing case than I could.{S}
 Any idea where I could find this shaper?{S}
 Do not dwarves worship their ancestors or something?{S}
 I did not think dwarves believed in the Maker.{S}
 Any luck opening your chantry?{S}
 Let me go look for him.{S}
 What did you want me to ask him, again?{S}
 I will go find him right now.{S}
 I could not get him to see reason.{S}
 He agreed to let you hold prayer meetings.{S}
 I met a woman who needs your help.{S}
 Will you take her casteless son as a ward of the Chantry?{S}
 She needs a job.{S}
 Can she find work here?{S}
 She needs food and a warm bed for her child.{S}
 I serve only Andraste.{S}
 I, um, do you... have a moment?{S}
 I have been trying forever to find someone who really knows the surface world.{S}
 I-I do not suppose you have heard of something called "The Circle?"{S}
 I have been trying to reach someone there for years; I have sent missives with every caravan, but I never get a reply.{S}
 I do not want to <emp>do</emp> magic.{S}
 No dwarf can cast spells, but I do not see why I should not study it.{S}
 Uh-What do you mean...?{S}
 If you help me, I am sure I could get you some.{S}
 I am not giving up!{S}
 Someday, they <emp>will</emp> take me.{S}
 My name is Dagna, daughter of Janar of the Smith Caste.{S}
 Tell them I have already begun reading the Tevinter Imperium's "Fortikum Kadab," and it is just fascinating!{S}
 Did you know the Imperial Magister Lords once had genealogies of every human family known to produce a mage child? <desc>Gasps</desc> Oh, I will go pack my bags right now!{S}
 No dwarf has ever studied at the Circle of Magi!{S}
 I guess you never read First Enchanter Caethelun's "Treatise Concerning Dwarves and the Non-Heritability of Magic."{S}
 I have never met an actual mage.{S}
 Do not let the glamour fool you, child.{S}
 Haven't you read First Enchanter Caethelun's "Treatise Concerning Dwarves and the Non-Heritability of Magic?"{S}
 He tested dwarves from twenty bloodlines, and found they could not perform any level of spell casting, regardless of lyrium exposure or time on the surface.{S}
 The Circle speculates that lyrium in the Stone shields us from spiritual influences and over time made us immune to them.{S}
 Do... do you have any more time now?{S}
 I know you are busy, but... it will just take a moment.{S}
 I tried to talk to you earlier, but... if I can just have a second...{S}
 But it takes two weeks and four days <emp>minimum</emp> to make the journey to the Circle Tower.{S}
 Of course he will not let me go.{S}
 He wants to sell me off for the highest dowry.{S}
 I do not <emp>care</emp> if I lose my caste.{S}
 I know they do not normally admit anyone without magical aptitude, but I could bring much as a student of magical history.{S}
 I will do whatever they want: scrub floors, mend clothes.{S}
 If they just let me sit quietly at the back of the classroom...{S}
 Well, I have waited nineteen years.{S}
 Enough time to get to the Circle and back, I hope?{S}
 I will do whatever it takes... just to be there.{S}
 That is more than anyone else has done for me.{S}
 I can build whatever they need.{S}
 Did you tell them that?{S}
 He wants to sell me off to some pockmarked smith with a good dowry.{S}
 I-I mean... if they will have me.{S}
 Did you get an answer?{S}
 They will still need somewhere to train.{S}
 They will need a new Circle, and people to help them rebuild.{S}
 Oh, those are the mages who've had their Fade connection severed.{S}
 I have read about that.{S}
 I-I-I need to pack.{S}
 My parents would get suspicious.{S}
 I need to <emp>go</emp>.{S}
 Is there anything I should bring?{S}
 I was just bringing some lyrium in from the storeroom.{S}
 Will that do?{S}
 I have either a lyrium rune that can be implanted in any weapon or some of the serum mages use.{S}
 Which do you want?{S}
 I will never forget what you did.{S}
 But I have a bit from the storeroom.{S}
 Thank you so much for making this possible!{S}
 Get out of my way.{S}
 Dwarves can not do magic.{S}
 And what would the messenger get?{S}
 The Circle needs all the allies it can get right now.{S}
 How much do you want to convince me?{S}
 I can bring the Circle your request.{S}
 Why do not you read about axes and ale, like a proper dwarf?{S}
 Uh, of course I read that.{S}
 So what do you want with the Circle?{S}
 Of course I have heard of the Circle!{S}
 Have we met?{S}
 Your father does not want you going to the Circle.{S}
 You should do as your family asks.{S}
 Bring your petition to the templars.{S}
 They have no time for you.{S}
 The mages were corrupted and had to be killed.{S}
 The mages need every ally they can get.{S}
 I will take the serum.{S}
 I will take the rune.{S}
 My reward would be a nice start.{S}
 I do not know how to express my gratitude.{S}
 The carta used to prey only on their own kind.{S}
 I-I have never met her, of course.{S}
 Since good King Endrin died, they are getting bolder.{S}
 They used to be a problem only in Dust Town, but now they are in the Commons, shaking honest men down for coin.{S}
 Do not even whisper that.{S}
 She has a secret base below the city, and they say there is a whole army down there, ready to die for her.{S}
 I-I need to run.{S}
 Whoever takes the throne had better root out the whole nest of them.{S}
 Back to work?{S}
 Now, get out of my store!{S}
 I am grateful for your help, but I do not think we have any more to talk about.{S}
 What have you done?{S}
 I have to get out of here.{S}
 I have to hide.{S}
 You have ruined me!{S}
 I have to run...{S}
 For painting my name on the largest target in Orzammar?{S}
 Sodding stone, why do you think we <emp>pay</emp> Jarvia's extortion?{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 Did you have something more... pleasant you wished to discuss?{S}
 You could start by letting me look around your store...{S}
 What do you know about this Jarvia?{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I will take care of her.{S}
 I should let you get back to work.{S}
 What do you know about her carta?{S}
 I should have let you die.{S}
 I would like to see what you have for sale.{S}
 We all need to rally against that treacherous Harrowmont.{S}
 I will not have you slacking just because good King Endrin is dead!{S}
 You hold your tongue!{S}
 If it were not for Lord Harrowmont, we would still have a king to bow to!{S}
 Do not be a fool!{S}
 Ancestors have patience, if Branka could hear this... well, I would not be standing in dried blood.{S}
 I have enough crime without some casteless carrying weapons in the city.{S}
 Name yourself!{S}
 It is hard to believe we have a king again.{S}
 I suppose the ancestors figured the Aeducans had enough.{S}
 The Proving?{S}
 "Grey Warden" is all the name you need.{S}
 Looking for a new set of mail?{S}
 At Janar's we have everything from leather to platinum.{S}
 And you needn't bring a lot of coin.{S}
 Has she been bothering you?{S}
 Gets a whiff of surface stink and she is like a cave tick--will not let go.{S}
 Well, let me know if she does trouble you any.{S}
 Do you even know what you have done?{S}
 She can never marry, never work, and-and never be part of this family again!{S}
 Do you even know what that means?{S}
 She will never be able to marry or-or work in Orzammar again.{S}
 Dwarves do not do magic.{S}
 If you see her, send her back and let me talk some sense into her.{S}
 I have been telling her for years to give up those foolish notions.{S}
 Perhaps I could take your mind off the insult by showing you around the store?{S}
 The ancestors granted her to us to carry out that role, not pretend to be what no dwarf can.{S}
 My father made his name by inventing a fauld and tasset, which were integrated into the cuirass...{S}
 Did not last six months as a noble before she set into the Deep Roads looking for "ancient secrets."{S}
 He gave us the secret of forging golems that could walk, talk, and defend our borders.{S}
 When we had them, no dwarf had to risk himself against the darkspawn.{S}
 His work was lost centuries ago when his thaig fell to the darkspawn.{S}
 It is not good for a smith to get the attention of those who grant vendors' licenses.{S}
 My father did business with him and he always paid on time.{S}
 But the Aeducans have served us well.{S}
 If it is the ancestors' wisdom to keep them on the throne, I cannot object.{S}
 Things have calmed down with a firm hand on the throne again.{S}
 May the ancestors bless King Bhelen's reign and that is the end of it.{S}
 Keep in mind, we also take items on trade.{S}
 I, uh, assume you have some kind of dispensation to let you wear all that.{S}
 Many apologies, I had to ask.{S}
 Please do not encourage Dagna further.{S}
 Get out!{S}
 Do you have a daughter named Dagna?{S}
 I do not need to hear everyone's personal problems.{S}
 She very smart--should not you let her do what she loves?{S}
 What do you mean, Branka threw it all away?{S}
 Just let me see what is in your store.{S}
 Let us see what you have got.{S}
 How many times do I have to say it?{S}
 I pay my expenses--{S}
 What about the expenses your good friend Jarvia incurs when providing your protection?{S}
 I do not have much.{S}
 T-tell Jarvia I will get her money, I--{S}
 Now, let us go inside and see what you have been holding back.{S}
 T-this is all I have right now.{S}
 I could get more if I sell something--{S}
 Looks like we have a visitor.{S}
 You... g-get out of here.{S}
 Lucky us, the merciful Jarvia is offering protection from the chaos.{S}
 You are wearing some fancy stuff there.{S}
 Might make you a target.{S}
 And it takes more than an ugly face to scare me.{S}
 You ready to try...?{S}
 Jarvia's been looking for you, and I bet she would rather deal with you herself...{S}
 I am thinking I do.{S}
 I am not gonna die for ten lousy sovereigns.{S}
 I am guessing Jarvia'll want to do business again real soon.{S}
 Are you going to make your donation to the Stranger-Safety Fund, or do I have to show you how dangerous Orzammar is?{S}
 And what the sod do you know about-- Hey!{S}
 It is a commercial venture of like-minded individuals who make money in whatever way suits their talents.{S}
 I do not see anyone who is going to make me.{S}
 Do not get involved with this.{S}
 You do not know what they are like!{S}
 Then allow me to make some introductions.{S}
 Do not you know who I am?{S}
 Take a good look.{S}
 Do you really want to start this?{S}
 Did you say <emp>Jarvia</emp> is running the carta?{S}
 I do not care what you call yourself.{S}
 Back to buy something, I hope.{S}
 I will take your gold.{S}
 Now his taxes will bankrupt us to pay for his wife's diamonds!{S}
 Well, are you here to buy something or what?{S}
 Some of us have to make a living.{S}
 In honor of our good King Bhelen, two silvers off anything you buy!{S}
 Let me see what you have in your store.{S}
 Did you see that?{S}
 I cannot <emp>believe</emp> what this city has come to.{S}
 This would never have happened when Endrin was alive.{S}
 In the end, Endrin himself recognized that Bhelen cared for nothing but power.{S}
 I suggest you do the same.{S}
 King Endrin trusted him with his life and I will do no less.{S}
 Everybody knows he killed his brother Trian and let his father's favorite son take the blame.{S}
 I cannot blame him for preferring to join the ancestors in eternal peace.{S}
 If Bhelen did not murder him himself.{S}
 What brings you to Orzammar at such a time?{S}
 That explains why they allowed you past the gates.{S}
 What kind of aid do you mean?{S}
 If you seek Lord Harrowmont's support, I suggest you talk with his trusted advisor, Dulin Forender.{S}
 He might be able to get you an audience.{S}
 I-I have to go.{S}
 King Endrin is dead and the Assembly can not decide who takes the throne--Lord Harrowmont, or that monster, Bhelen.{S}
 After what he did to Trian?{S}
 But I forget, you do not know how things have been here.{S}
 Since your father died, many have begun to wonder if it was Bhelen's hand behind Trian's death, not yours.{S}
 But enough deshyrs support Bhelen to keep the Assembly in a deadlock.{S}
 You can see how bad things have gotten.{S}
 He dares not leave his estate often; you have seen what sort of thugs support your brother.{S}
 He seems to think if he is close to the throne long enough, we will forget he has no right to claim it.{S}
 He would not dare say so, but the common folk do.{S}
 Exactly half the Assembly still supports Bhelen, and their loyalty runs deep.{S}
 Who will lead the battle?{S}
 If you seek Lord Harrowmont's support, talk to Dulin Forender.{S}
 You will find him in Harrowmont's estate.{S}
 Tell him who you are and I am sure he can get you an audience.{S}
 But House Aeducan stands behind Bhelen still, and they have stricken your name.{S}
 I would be quite hurt if you did not recognize me.{S}
 After all, under different circumstances, we might have been married.{S}
 After all, under different circumstances, we might have been sisters-in-law.{S}
 I hope you will support Lord Harrowmont.{S}
 It is about time the Assembly saw sense and put Harrowmont on the throne.{S}
 I can not believe the Assembly was <emp>foolish</emp> enough to put Bhelen on the throne!{S}
 What do you know about this Lord Harrowmont?{S}
 Is Harrowmont qualified to rule?{S}
 Did you know King Endrin?{S}
 I am <FirstName/>, a Grey Warden, and I am here seeking aid.{S}
 The Grey Wardens rescued and recruited me.{S}
 How much support does Bhelen have?{S}
 Does Harrowmont believe Bhelen killed my brother?{S}
 How many still support Bhelen?{S}
 I must go deal with this now.{S}
 Who has the authority to defend against a Blight?{S}
 Once, the Assembly wished me to rule...{S}
 Did you have an offering for the ancestors?{S}
 I do not have much to bring them.{S}
 My name is Filda, widow of Teruck of the Smith Caste.{S}
 He joined a Deep Roads excursion--the only smith to go with the warriors to repair their arms.{S}
 But he got... separated somehow.{S}
 The captains do not want to lose anyone searching for stray men.{S}
 Too many were taken by darkspawn that way.{S}
 You are... asking what I would pay for your services?{S}
 I have little money since my husband died.{S}
 If someone were to find my son... or his body... they can have the shield, with my blessing!{S}
 I appreciate your offer, though.{S}
 If you would look for my son... if you even find his bones... you would have my eternal gratitude.{S}
 Find me as soon as you return!{S}
 But perhaps that explains why one of your kind has come to Orzammar today.{S}
 So you <emp>could</emp> do it!{S}
 I do not know that word.{S}
 This is a section of stone kept bare to receive our prayers.{S}
 The Stone gave rise to our people, and it is where their spirits return in death.{S}
 Mothers, keep him safe, for you know what it is to mourn.{S}
 Did you wish to make an offering after all?{S}
 It would mean a lot to me to have him back safely... or even to recover his body for a proper funeral.{S}
 I did not expect you back so soon!{S}
 Have you been to the Deep Roads already?{S}
 The Assembly does not allow anyone into the Deep Roads alone.{S}
 If you want to get through, you need permission from one of the deshyrs.{S}
 I do not suppose you know any, do you?{S}
 He used to polish his armor until it glowed.{S}
 He was with a unit under one of the Dace boys, so his shield would have their insignia--double axes.{S}
 I never paid much attention.{S}
 You have returned!{S}
 Did you learn anything about my Ruck?{S}
 What do you mean, out of his misery?{S}
 What could it have hurt to bring him to me?{S}
 Or let me go to him?{S}
 Ancestors curse your path; do not ever talk to me again!{S}
 Please do not torment me.{S}
 I have heard of this: lost soldiers turning on each other, eating darkspawn flesh.{S}
 Why did not you bring him home?{S}
 I have to go to him.{S}
 He needs me.{S}
 I thank you for what you have done, even if you could not be bothered with more.{S}
 Take this.{S}
 I was saving it for Ruck, but I want you to have it.{S}
 I just wish I could have seen him one last time.{S}
 I... do not have anyone to save it for anymore.{S}
 I would like you to have it... for what you risked to bring me this news.{S}
 Get away from me!{S}
 I am going to find Ruck now.{S}
 Did I hear you mention your son?{S}
 Did anyone go after him?{S}
 What would you give for his safe return?{S}
 We should not abandon him.{S}
 I did not say I would do it for free.{S}
 Was there something you wished me to do?{S}
 The guards would not let me in the Deep Roads.{S}
 How will I know Ruck if I find him?{S}
 Where did you want me to go again?{S}
 I put him out of his misery.{S}
 Lady, your son is a dung-eating lunatic.{S}
 Ruck did not want you to see him like that.{S}
 I never found anything.{S}
 I never found anything.{S}
 If you work hard like Branka, all Orzammar will know your name.{S}
 Mother, I do not want to be like her!{S}
 Do not say that!{S}
 Now get back to the forge; I want to see more details!{S}
 If you are looking for Lord Dulin Forender, you will find him at Tapsters, taking his evening drink.{S}
 Do not show your face here again.{S}
 The king may recommend any successor he chooses.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont was chosen after Bhelen was implicated in his own brother's death.{S}
 Better a trusted advisor lead us than a scheming child.{S}
 But do you honestly think Bhelen would better represent your father's wishes?{S}
 No, I would not imagine you do...{S}
 But even if the world would end tomorrow, Lord Harrowmont cannot ignore Bhelen today.{S}
 In an ordinary time, Lord Harrowmont would be honored to meet you.{S}
 Unfortunately, we have already caught more than one of Bhelen's spies approaching Harrowmont under a pretense of friendship.{S}
 If you want Lord Harrowmont's assistance, first you will have to prove he can trust you.{S}
 So, I am afraid I will not be able to take your word.{S}
 If you want to speak to Harrowmont, you will need to prove he can trust you.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont always had too much affection for you, but I know you Aeducans and your thirst for glory.{S}
 You will not worm your way back into his lordship's graces unless you prove your loyalty to more than your own ambition.{S}
 If you wish to show you have no loyalty to Bhelen, then work against him in Harrowmont's name.{S}
 Bhelen is hosting a Proving today, supposedly to honor his father's memory.{S}
 You are asking the king of Orzammar to send armies to the surface, but Orzammar has no king and we have no army.{S}
 If you want Lord Harrowmont's time now, you will have to prove you have no intention of turning against him later.{S}
 That is a generous offer.{S}
 If you mean it, you might attend the Proving today.{S}
 The Proving is a contest of the best warriors in Orzammar.{S}
 By fighting, they show who has the ancestors' favor.{S}
 The deshyrs take it very seriously.{S}
 And unfortunately, Bhelen found some way to blackmail or intimidate House Harrowmont's best fighters into stepping down.{S}
 If they do not change their minds, or Harrowmont cannot find new warriors, he will lose great face with the Assembly.{S}
 If you were to enter the Proving as Lord Harrowmont's champion, it would prove your loyalty beyond a doubt.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont cannot risk his life working with someone of unproven loyalties.{S}
 If you change your mind, let me know.{S}
 The Proving is this afternoon and Lord Harrowmont could certainly use you on his side.{S}
 If you wish to show your loyalty, enter the Proving as his lordship's champion.{S}
 With your order's reputation, I have no doubt the ancestors would favor your arm.{S}
 That would be... enlightening, though I hope you will not pry too deeply into things they do not wish revealed.{S}
 It would certainly make your loyalties loud and clear.{S}
 Bhelen would never work with anyone who humiliated him in that way.{S}
 Harrowmont would have no fear of meeting with you then.{S}
 Talk to the proving master and tell him you are entering Lord Harrowmont's roster.{S}
 If you need to find me again, I will wait in the Tapsters Tavern, off the Commons.{S}
 And be sure it is before the fights begin.{S}
 You may have convinced his lordship of your innocence, but it is my duty to protect him, even from his own folly.{S}
 After what you did, why would he trust you?{S}
 You and Bhelen worked together to kill a rival before.{S}
 We have already caught more than one of Bhelen's spies trying to get close to his lordship.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont asked me to find out why you are here.{S}
 You left so abruptly, I did not think I would see you back.{S}
 Do you have more time to talk now, Warden?{S}
 Have you realized yet that both Bhelen and Vartag are snakes whose words are not worth the air they take to speak?{S}
 Do you see how things lie, Warden?{S}
 So, have you decided to earn my lord's trust, or will you throw your lot in with the snakes?{S}
 I assume you still intend to fight in the Proving?{S}
 Do not tarry.{S}
 The Proving starts this afternoon.{S}
 Have you decided, then?{S}
 Will you enter the Provings in Harrowmont's name?{S}
 Then you and I have nothing more to say.{S}
 I served under General Harrowmont for three years.{S}
 He is the king Orzammar needs, especially in a Blight.{S}
 He has many men lined up, but not all of them are top-ranking.{S}
 They are both unpredictable, and some of the best fighters Orzammar has seen.{S}
 I think Ivo's younger brother won at your commission Proving.{S}
 They have each fought in a dozen Provings.{S}
 Bhelen is hosting a Proving tournament to honor his father's memory, but he somehow scared off most of Lord Harrowmont's fighters.{S}
 If you can enter as Harrowmont's champion, you would prove your dedication well.{S}
 The Proving is not finished.{S}
 My second just brought me word from the Proving.{S}
 You made a good showing, he says, though the ancestors withheld their final favors.{S}
 I hear your performance in the Proving was nothing short of amazing!{S}
 But having lived with that serpent, Bhelen, your whole life, you cannot blame me for wanting to test your loyalties.{S}
 The honor is ours, to have found such a staunch and upright ally.{S}
 Join me here when you are ready to leave.{S}
 His lordship is looking forward to meeting you.{S}
 He fought like a bereskarn and showed many deshyrs the strength of House Harrowmont's support.{S}
 Baizyl's victories convinced several deshyrs that House Harrowmont has the ancestors' favor.{S}
 I must thank you for bringing both Baizyl and Gwiddon back into the fight.{S}
 His lordship was touched to see his old friends stand for him.{S}
 I have heard about the lies you spread to Lady Dace and Lord Helmi.{S}
 I am Dulin Forender, Lord Harrowmont's advisor and first lieutenant, and I have nothing to say to the likes of you.{S}
 We do not need you interfering in Orzammar's private affairs.{S}
 You have made it perfectly clear whose side you are on.{S}
 I do not know what you think to do now.{S}
 Give us an insider in Bhelen's ranks, I suppose.{S}
 If he cannot take the throne without spies and treachery, he will leave it up to the ancestors.{S}
 Why should we trust you when you are so eager to sell out the last man you helped?{S}
 I heard he had brought a noble-hunter into his house.{S}
 I did not realize you were related.{S}
 If you want Lord Harrowmont to believe you would side against your own sister's family, you will have to prove your loyalty.{S}
 If anyone understands how that snake's mind works, it would be you.{S}
 But if you are going to support Lord Harrowmont, I hope you are prepared to prove where your loyalties really lie.{S}
 But if you want Lord Harrowmont to trust this change of heart, you will have to prove your loyalties have shifted.{S}
 It took you long enough, given all he is done to you.{S}
 Bhelen's already sent you to attack Lord Harrowmont's support.{S}
 What has he asked of you next?{S}
 Find out what he wants and let me know before you do anything.{S}
 And if you still intend to fight the Proving, use your own name.{S}
 If Bhelen can take credit for shutting down Jarvia, it will buy him more support than any speech.{S}
 Yet given Bhelen's own experiences with Dust Town, that might give us a better opportunity than it appears.{S}
 Casteless sell-swords he disposed of after the murder.{S}
 If you could prove Bhelen hired these thugs, prove he sent casteless men to kill a royal prince...{S}
 Let us say that might change a few votes.{S}
 But you are the one trying to prove yourself.{S}
 Figure out how, or whatever you are offering is not worth the insult.{S}
 If you find anything incriminating, bring it to me and I will get you an audience with Lord Harrowmont.{S}
 If we do not hear of any further slanders against his name.{S}
 And if you want to finish out the Proving, do it in your own name.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont is no longer interested in having your face attached to his cause.{S}
 You reported that casteless sell-swords ambushed you the day of Trian's death.{S}
 Even Vartag probably does not know the details of his plans.{S}
 I am glad Lord Harrowmont will never see what you have become.{S}
 I should have known you would betray us!{S}
 You have turned both the Daces and the Helmis against us!{S}
 Forget our deal.{S}
 Neither Lord Harrowmont nor I want anything to do with you.{S}
 Forget our deal.{S}
 Neither Lord Harrowmont nor I want anything more to do with you.{S}
 I have nothing to say to one of Bhelen's puppets.{S}
 Did you talk to Bhelen?{S}
 What does he want you to do?{S}
 We have nothing to say until you do.{S}
 Then we have no business here.{S}
 If you want to keep searching, I would do it soon.{S}
 I am glad you will help us make sure he does not rule.{S}
 We need nothing from Bhelen's puppets here.{S}
 You have proven your loyalties.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont has no need for the support of one of Bhelen's thugs.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont does not <emp>buy</emp> loyalty.{S}
 If you cared about Orzammar and wanted a king who will preserve it, you would have come to him already.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont will rule just as Endrin wanted.{S}
 Bhelen has no automatic right to the throne just because his father sat there.{S}
 Well, you will have to contain yourself.{S}
 Bhelen has sent far too many assassins in the guise of washer-women and cooks for us to trust an open agent of his.{S}
 Please do.{S}
 I know the lies you are spreading, the work you are doing to put that tyrant, Bhelen, on the throne.{S}
 I am Dulin Forender, Lord Harrowmont's first lieutenant, as you would have known if you would bothered to find out what is happening here before hitching yourself to Bhelen.{S}
 I am Dulin Forender, loyal retainer to both your father and Lord Harrowmont, as you would know if you would ever looked beyond what serves <emp>you</emp>.{S}
 Do not try to start anything with me.{S}
 His lordship appreciates your support.{S}
 You have done more for us than I ever imagined.{S}
 I have nothing to say to the usurper.{S}
 I have nothing more to say to you.{S}
 I have a treaty obliging Orzammar to aid against a Blight.{S}
 I am working for Bhelen.{S}
 I am looking for a better offer.{S}
 How can Harrowmont think I am working for Bhelen?{S}
 What do you want me to do, denounce Bhelen publicly?{S}
 Stop playing games!{S}
 So, you would make the whole world wait?{S}
 How can I prove I am not working for Bhelen?{S}
 Why would your Assembly care who wins some tournament?{S}
 I do not want to start picking sides...{S}
 And what do you want me to do about it?{S}
 Do you want me to find out why your fighters dropped out?{S}
 So, you would like me to enter the Proving in Harrowmont's name?{S}
 I will not let Harrowmont send me on this run-around.{S}
 I will enter the Proving for Harrowmont right now.{S}
 I need to go.{S}
 How well do you know Lord Harrowmont?{S}
 I would rather give my support to Bhelen.{S}
 Which of Harrowmont's fighters pulled out of the Proving?{S}
 I will try to find out why they dropped out.{S}
 What did you ask me to do again?{S}
 I am just heading to the Proving now.{S}
 I have a few more things to do, first.{S}
 Lead the way.{S}
 Let me make it up to Harrowmont.{S}
 You need an inside man, right?{S}
 I needed to know my sister--Bhelen's concubine--was safe.{S}
 Bhelen would not have trusted me if I came to you first.{S}
 I have seen what Bhelen's like.{S}
 I will do whatever you like to prove myself to you.{S}
 I wanted to talk to you, before I met with him again.{S}
 I do not know what he wants.{S}
 He is having me do a little clean-up in Dust Town.{S}
 Do you want me to sabotage the mission?{S}
 I will comb Dust Town until I find the proof.{S}
 You should take the hint and side with the winner.{S}
 Jarvia's dead, but I found nothing incriminating Bhelen.{S}
 I have the evidence.{S}
 Bring me to Harrowmont.{S}
 I found these papers.{S}
 Are not you going to try to convert me to Harrowmont's side?{S}
 What would you give me if I agreed to support Harrowmont?{S}
 You think Harrowmont would make a better king than Bhelen?{S}
 Why does Harrowmont want to take Bhelen's rightful throne?{S}
 This has dragged on too long.{S}
 Now, was that an attempt to cozen me into revealing my choice, or are you simply making small talk?{S}
 What interest would a Grey Warden have in who rules Orzammar?{S}
 I will be one of eighty nobles of purest blood to pick our sovereign king.{S}
 But to cheat me, would not Harrowmont and I need to be in business?{S}
 If I did, I would need to see what evidence makes you so eager to accuse a man who might be king.{S}
 Harrowmont would never make so obvious a mistake.{S}
 What evidence do you have?{S}
 Where did you get these?{S}
 But there is nothing I can do about it.{S}
 This deal was made on behalf of our entire house.{S}
 He is leading a Deep Roads expedition, trying to secure an ancient thaig.{S}
 The abandoned tunnels outside Orzammar.{S}
 I will give you a pass as well.{S}
 Usually, no one is allowed past the front lines.{S}
 Does that mean you will go?{S}
 Actually, it is the same place you had all that distasteful business with your brother Trian.{S}
 And what business would you have with me?{S}
 It is fascinating the surface has an entire order dedicated to fighting darkspawn.{S}
 It must be much harder to find them.{S}
 I have no business with you.{S}
 Such a noble profession, cleaning up whatever darkspawn stragglers make it to the surface.{S}
 You should find my father in the mines.{S}
 You have House Dace's thanks.{S}
 So, I hear we have you to thank for putting a new Aeducan on the throne.{S}
 And I hear we have you to thank.{S}
 I can not imagine why you supported him after what you told me.{S}
 I notice you did not answer my question.{S}
 Harrowmont is trying to cheat you.{S}
 Why do not you look at these promissory notes?{S}
 I have the promissory notes right here.{S}
 Does that mean you will not change your vote?{S}
 I will bring these to him.{S}
 You have the information; vote your conscience.{S}
 How would I know where to find your father?{S}
 Do you not recognize me?{S}
 Do you not recognize me?{S}
 How can I find your father in the Deep Roads?{S}
 I would like to find your father.{S}
 No one has ever stayed in the Deep Roads that long and survived.{S}
 The search teams who went out found nothing, but Oghren wants to keep risking lives searching.{S}
 He comes up here two, three times a week, hounding people to lead some suicidal rescue mission after Branka.{S}
 Gets quite violent about it.{S}
 Oghren just does not know how to give up.{S}
 What he did at that Proving was just unforgivable.{S}
 Next thing, they are in a duel to first blood to defend Branka's honor, then Oghren starts screaming and runs him through!{S}
 Even if she took their entire house into the Deep Roads and abandoned him.{S}
 She invented a smokeless fuel that let the Smith Caste increase their output by nearly a third.{S}
 The Assembly said she had the favor of the ancestors and declared her a Paragon.{S}
 They moved Branka, Oghren, and all their relatives to the Noble Caste and founded a new house in her name.{S}
 Said she never asked to found a house, that she did not care about politics, and that we were too self-absorbed to defeat the darkspawn.{S}
 I need to set an audience with the new king.{S}
 I see what sort of company <emp>you have</emp> taken up.{S}
 I should leave before you start complaining about me, too.{S}
 What do you mean "barely Warrior Caste?"{S}
 He did seem rather... belligerent.{S}
 What do you mean, "gelded him?"{S}
 Why does Oghren care so much about Branka?{S}
 How did she become a Paragon?{S}
 Branka was married to that drunk?{S}
 Why did Branka go into the Deep Roads?{S}
 I should get going.{S}
 It is so good to have you here!{S}
 I have been worrying that we are living in luxury while you are suffering on the road.{S}
 They have moved Mother and me into the palace.{S}
 I wish you could meet little Endrin.{S}
 But they do not let me bring him outside the royal nursery.{S}
 We have everything we could want now, but... well, you know what they say.{S}
 You can not leave Dust Town if you always take it with you.{S}
 Bhelen does not like me spending time off the estate.{S}
 Now you see why I did not tell you.{S}
 The future king of Orzammar spends his nights in my bed.{S}
 Beraht was a toad, but I have to thank him for teaching me to read, dance, massage, and whatever else Bhelen sees in me.{S}
 Then you have heard.{S}
 Bhelen thinks Harrowmont set the whole thing up to frame him.{S}
 Then he had the gall to whisper these things to the dying king.{S}
 Tell me you do not believe these horrible rumors!{S}
 Have you been in the sun so long you forget who raised you and kept you from having to beg?{S}
 Do not take that from me.{S}
 Then you will have to meet Bhelen.{S}
 Bhelen could never do anything like that.{S}
 It is been a little scary, I have to confess.{S}
 Until there is a king, the Assembly would let the world collapse rather than bow to anyone's better judgment.{S}
 Vartag spends most of his time at the Assembly.{S}
 I will meet you there.{S}
 Do not take it personally.{S}
 He moved Mother and me into the palace and named our son Endrin, after his father.{S}
 But I am sure he would want you to meet Vartag, so he can help with whatever you need.{S}
 Are you ready to meet him?{S}
 Shall I take you to Vartag now?{S}
 So, did you find that beastly Harrowmont, and hear the slanders he speaks of my son's father?{S}
 Look, then, and see everything you would take from us if you let Harrowmont steal the throne.{S}
 Do you do this just to taunt me?{S}
 What do you think that man would do to us if he took the throne?{S}
 I knew you would not let me down.{S}
 I will take you to Vartag.{S}
 You do not understand what nobles are like.{S}
 They, and Lord Harrowmont, would do anything to bring him down.{S}
 What does it matter to you who rules?{S}
 You have found a life on the surface.{S}
 Support Bhelen, for me.{S}
 I will do all I can to ensure he helps you in return.{S}
 I wish I would let you die as a boy, so you would not be killing my son now!{S}
 Maybe if I would let Mother sell you on the street you would not be forcing my son there now!{S}
 And just wait until you meet Prince Bhelen.{S}
 Far be it from me to keep you from service to my house.{S}
 Otherwise, I will keep you here all day!{S}
 But you are giving me that look...{S}
 I can take a hint.{S}
 His mother is getting on in years and gave up her Assembly seat to him.{S}
 She does not care about larger issues, only how her own house is affected.{S}
 But Gavorn is a very minor house, and Bhelen has always favored them.{S}
 Bhelen promised that when little Endrin is twelve, he will spend a year there in exchange.{S}
 Why did not you tell Vartag you would help him?{S}
 Everything he said sounded reasonable: You stop Harrowmont from swindling those deshyrs and in return, you meet the prince.{S}
 I have already heard Lady Dace talking about what a swindler Harrowmont is!{S}
 Bhelen told me what he wants you to do.{S}
 I can not believe you went and fought a Proving--a <emp>Proving</emp>--for that wretched Harrowmont.{S}
 I know you are a Warden now, but you are still my little brother and I hate the thought of you getting hurt.{S}
 Nothing seems to make any difference.{S}
 All she does is spit.{S}
 I know you two had fun together, but Leske... never had your strength.{S}
 But do not dwell on it.{S}
 But do not let that spoil what you have accomplished here.{S}
 You never did shy away from danger, did you?{S}
 And you will come home with Branka, put my Bhelen on the throne, and we will all live together in the palace!{S}
 Back in Dust Town, could you ever have imagined saying that?{S}
 I know you are a Warden now, but to me, you will always be that little girl toddling around and pulling up on door handles.{S}
 I have to go now.{S}
 I will give Bhelen your regrets.{S}
 I have nothing to say to you.{S}
 I do not want little Endrin to grow up not knowing you.{S}
 I have missed you, Rica.{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 I need to talk to whoever's in charge.{S}
 I need Orzammar to support the Wardens.{S}
 A new Blight is beginning.{S}
 I have some things to do, first.{S}
 I will find him.{S}
 Take me there.{S}
 You should see the palaces I have been in on the surface.{S}
 I do not want to have this argument now.{S}
 Whatever the truth, I must support my family.{S}
 What if Bhelen <emp>did</emp> kill his brother?{S}
 Harrowmont has a reputation for honesty and fairness.{S}
 I cannot support Bhelen as king.{S}
 Do you know anything about Lady Dace?{S}
 Just take care of yourself and little Endrin.{S}
 She hasn't changed, has she?{S}
 I had to kill Leske, Rica.{S}
 Some risks are worth taking.{S}
 Glad I am leaving before all that starts.{S}
 Take care of yourself.{S}
 They have to.{S}
 I am sure Harrowmont had the Provings set up somehow.{S}
 You should not have been allowed in the Proving.{S}
 It is good you and your brother have reconciled.{S}
 Prince Bhelen has my vote.{S}
 He will never take the throne!{S}
 Get her!{S}
 Get him!{S}
 Get out of here, Warden.{S}
 You have no place here!{S}
 House Aeducan is glad to have you on its side.{S}
 Do not worry, Warden.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont has my vote.{S}
 When I saw Bhelen's champion eat your dirt, he lost my vote.{S}
 Get out, Warden!{S}
 You will always have a place in King Harrowmont's court.{S}
 Your mind has gone to dust if you think we would pass such a writ.{S}
 The proposal is only effective until we have a king to ensure we are respected by the surfacers!{S}
 Leaving you conveniently positioned to take over all contracts.{S}
 Deshyrs, lords, and ladies of the Assembly: I have already doubled the guard to prevent violence.{S}
 They may as well open us to the sky!{S}
 I suggest we put the matter to a vote.{S}
 And I suggest you have a taste of my family's mace-- <emp>Enough</emp>!{S}
 Only deshyrs and occasional guests of state are allowed in.{S}
 The loss of our king has hit us hard.{S}
 A great deal has changed in recent days.{S}
 The exile has returned and we are to treat you as a respected guest.{S}
 I am glad to hear the surfacers are making use of your talents.{S}
 And for that, you earn my respect more than as a member of your lost family name.{S}
 Respect for your role is great, but you will not receive a proper hearing until we have a king on the throne.{S}
 This <emp>is</emp> their world, and it ended when Endrin died.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 I would not put any coin on the outcome.{S}
 Bhelen still has the edge, but after the latest Proving Harrowmont picked up a few more supporters.{S}
 Well, Harrowmont has many loyal supporters, but the whole Dace House just turned against him.{S}
 Well, Harrowmont's still holding his main supporters, but the whole Helmi House just turned against him.{S}
 Bhelen's gained ground recently, but Harrowmont's recent announcements caused a real flurry.{S}
 Harrowmont started to pull ahead, but Bhelen got a huge surge of support when he announced Jarvia's death.{S}
 After the preliminary voting, it looks like Harrowmont has a narrow edge, but Bhelen's been buying support right and left.{S}
 Bhelen has a solid lead in the preliminary voting, but Harrowmont's trying to disqualify a number of his supporters.{S}
 Pay me no mind.{S}
 You do not recognize a Grey Warden?{S}
 I have no liking for you.{S}
 Do as you wish, Steward Bandelor.{S}
 You always have.{S}
 Does this city not care the world is about to end?{S}
 Let me know when they stop bickering.{S}
 What news do you bring?{S}
 Then I will see you again when you give your concession speech, for I have nothing to discuss with Harrowmont's puppets.{S}
 Unless... you are here for a better offer?{S}
 I heard of the troops you seek.{S}
 Do you wish a new alliance?{S}
 Well, given your relationship with his rival, I do not see why the prince should offer you anything.{S}
 Perhaps you should make that preparation yourself.{S}
 My prince has little time to spare on surface matters.{S}
 Why, the rightful ruler of Orzammar, a title he would have greeted you under had not subversive elements been plotting against him.{S}
 There is no reason to seek any other to take the throne.{S}
 I have seen it in the shapers' libraries.{S}
 They compel the king of Orzammar to support the Grey Wardens against any future Blight.{S}
 We must be cautious about whom to trust, but perhaps we could find a way.{S}
 There might be a way, if you demonstrate to Bhelen that you owe Harrowmont no fealty.{S}
 But what are we to do?{S}
 We would defeat the Blight and return to find our homeland devastated by an incompetent tyrant.{S}
 Perhaps you could prove to Prince Bhelen your intentions are just.{S}
 If you show you owe Harrowmont no fealty, I am sure Bhelen would help you.{S}
 You have been turned by Harrowmont's slanders already.{S}
 I should have known no soul in Orzammar would be neutral.{S}
 Harrowmont has engaged in a campaign of bribery and coercion to ensure that every house serves him.{S}
 He has turned them so against us they will not even listen to warnings from anyone known to favor Bhelen.{S}
 Very well, but do not expect my prince to see you as anything more than another ignorant surfacer.{S}
 If you change your mind, this offer still stands... so long as you do not champion Harrowmont in the Proving.{S}
 Very well, but do not expect my prince to grant your rightful place in his household if you cannot reject Harrowmont's lies.{S}
 I <emp>hope</emp> he will not take out any disappointment on your sister.{S}
 Harrowmont can not possibly grant it to both of them, but they will not find out until after the vote is cast.{S}
 Normally, the shapers would handle this sort of accusation.{S}
 Obviously, we cannot expect him to offer an unbiased opinion.{S}
 The shaper is biased, and if you want Prince Bhelen's help, you will have to show where <emp>your</emp> loyalties lie.{S}
 Will you do it?{S}
 I guess I should not be surprised a kinslayer has forgotten the importance of family loyalty.{S}
 From what your sister says, I am sure I do not have to tell you the importance of family.{S}
 As I am sure you remember, their libraries hold all our laws and records.{S}
 I have copies of the promissory notes Harrowmont gave each of them.{S}
 If they ask, say you found them while searching the shapers' libraries for your treaty.{S}
 Do not expect this offer to last.{S}
 Lady Dace does not leave the quarter much.{S}
 But Lord Helmi's adventurous, likes to spend his time at Tapsters... in the Commons.{S}
 Remember, do not tell them you got these papers from me.{S}
 And just to be clear, all deals are off if you fight that Proving for Harrowmont.{S}
 How else would a deshyr know where to give their vote?{S}
 Would you be willing to prove that?{S}
 That Harrowmont would take advantage of the dying king's delirium to plant such poisonous suspicions against his own son.{S}
 I hear you seek the aid of Orzammar's finest.{S}
 I heard you had returned to us, exile.{S}
 What insult do you mean by coming here?{S}
 After what you did to Trian, you come to your only living brother for help?{S}
 House Aeducan struck your name from its records the day you killed Trian.{S}
 With Endrin gone, Bhelen must take his throne.{S}
 I have seen this treaty in the shapers' libraries.{S}
 But it is only the king it compels, and your father has unfortunately passed on.{S}
 If you seek Bhelen's help, he can only give it from the throne.{S}
 And only if no one stands in the way of his getting there.{S}
 As if you would give up the throne of Orzammar to throw your lot in with these surfacers.{S}
 The prince has no reason to aid you, and I suggest you not seek his attention.{S}
 So you really have thrown your lot in with the surface.{S}
 I will allow you the chance to prove it.{S}
 You have no honor, kinslayer.{S}
 Now, there is a way you could prove your good intentions.{S}
 I will only ask you once; will you do it or not?{S}
 Harrowmont has been buying the votes of every deshyr he can turn, but he is running out of promises.{S}
 Recently, he offered the same estate to both Lady Dace and young Lord Helmi.{S}
 He hopes the vote will pass before he has to pay up.{S}
 I have the promissory notes, but they know of my loyalties to Bhelen.{S}
 If you, on the other hand, brought them this evidence...{S}
 They know you have little love for your brother and will believe you.{S}
 Prove your loyalty and perhaps you will get the reunion you desire.{S}
 If you wish to convince me of your good will, you will have to show you have put the past behind you.{S}
 I am saying that if you want a king who will heed your call to fight the darkspawn, you will have to show you have put the past behind you.{S}
 Seek whatever you wish on the surface, but there is nothing for you here.{S}
 As we were taught as children, our histories are never wrong.{S}
 What do you mean by this?{S}
 Vartag, I want you to meet my sister.{S}
 Do not show your face near House Aeducan again, exile.{S}
 Last time we met, you were hardly civil.{S}
 The choice I gave you was clear.{S}
 If you do, there can be no further business between us.{S}
 Now, do you wish my prince's support?{S}
 Now, is there more you need before you commence your search?{S}
 Better make up your mind, or Bhelen will wonder why you are spending so much time here.{S}
 Do you want your nephew in line to rule Orzammar or not?{S}
 Harrowmont tried using the same plot of land to buy the votes of both Lady Dace and young Lord Helmi.{S}
 I have the promissory notes to prove it, but neither of them would listen to anyone they knew favored Bhelen.{S}
 If they ask, say you found them while searching the shapers' libraries.{S}
 I do not know what insult you mean by pretending not to recognize me, but as you know, I am Vartag Gavorn, trusted associate of our future King Bhelen.{S}
 Now, have you done what I asked or not?{S}
 I have acquired evidence Harrowmont is using the same piece of land to bribe both Lady Dace and Lord Helmi to vote in his favor.{S}
 I have the promissory notes right here.{S}
 Just take them to Lady Dace and Lord Helmi and show them Harrowmont is not as honest as he claims.{S}
 Have you found Lady Dace and Lord Helmi?{S}
 There is no legal way for Harrowmont to sell the same land twice-over, is there?{S}
 You want to know how the game is played?{S}
 But if you think figuring it out gets you off the line, you do not understand how this works.{S}
 So, exactly how much truth is involved should not matter in the slightest.{S}
 These "forgeries" reflect badly on Lord Harrowmont, so unless you care about his reputation, I can not say I see your concern.{S}
 Now, where does your allegiance lie, Warden?{S}
 If you cannot support my prince, do not expect him to serve you.{S}
 If you change your mind, you know what you must do to earn his indulgence.{S}
 Now prove it.{S}
 And do not come back again until you do.{S}
 Now, where does your allegiance lie, exile?{S}
 Now, where does your allegiance lie?{S}
 Do not bother me again without something to report.{S}
 Are you ready to meet Bhelen now?{S}
 And keep your weapons sheathed.{S}
 It is touching to see how strong your love is for your brother.{S}
 You are awfully bold, walking right up to me after coming out against Prince Bhelen in the Proving.{S}
 You <emp>do</emp> know who I am, right?{S}
 Well, you have picked quite the way to show it.{S}
 He trusts you because you serve him.{S}
 And that means Prince Bhelen has no business with you.{S}
 You and I have nothing more to discuss until you come back to kneel before the rightful king.{S}
 Had you come to us first, Harrowmont would have suspected you.{S}
 But now, he has no reason to think you are anything other than his champion, on the Proving grounds and off.{S}
 Let the prince know what is happening on the inside?{S}
 Of course he will take care of her.{S}
 If you really want Bhelen's trust, you will have to prove your loyalty to Harrowmont is just an act.{S}
 What has he asked you to do next?{S}
 Then find out and come tell me.{S}
 If you want to be of use to the prince, this is your chance to prove it.{S}
 I am sure we can find a better way to prove your worth.{S}
 It is a little odd, though, given his associations with Dust Town smugglers.{S}
 Do what Harrowmont asked.{S}
 Let him claim he was behind it.{S}
 Let Harrowmont claim he was behind it.{S}
 It will be hard enough to believe him when I have solid evidence his cousin supplies the carta with their lyrium.{S}
 Well, I am surprised Harrowmont's protecting Orzammar from the carta when I have solid evidence his own cousin supplies their lyrium.{S}
 If you ensure they are found in Jarvia's possession, I guarantee the prince will want to talk to you.{S}
 As long as you do not come up with any more surprises.{S}
 And do not bother looking for Lord Helmi and Lady Dace.{S}
 This is a far better way to prove your worth.{S}
 If Bhelen's king, he will help you against the Blight. <emp>If</emp> it turns out you helped him get there.{S}
 That is a gold-plated offer, but I still have no proof you will do what you say.{S}
 That is the most transparent ploy I have ever seen.{S}
 Nothing would make up for what you have done.{S}
 Harrowmont has no reason to believe you are anything but loyal.{S}
 Hope you keep that sense of humor when the Assembly votes Harrowmont out on his ear.{S}
 Well, you have an unusual way of showing it.{S}
 Why would the prince possibly meet with someone who came out publicly against him?{S}
 So, you have proven to be every bit the snake I feared!{S}
 Well, you will never meet him now, traitor.{S}
 Then we will make sure your word counts for nothing.{S}
 Well, you need not fear that happening again.{S}
 Did you talk to Harrowmont?{S}
 What does he want you to do?{S}
 Before it starts to look like you are stalling.{S}
 I have nothing to say to you until I know you are no longer Harrowmont's agent.{S}
 And it is already whispered that House Harrowmont had ties to the smugglers.{S}
 Then you have certainly proven yourself.{S}
 You do not know what an enemy you have made, surfacer.{S}
 We need nothing from the usurper's puppet.{S}
 Bhelen does not need someone like you.{S}
 I make sure he is not bothered by riffraff who would try to steal his throne from under him.{S}
 Bhelen will take the throne despite your efforts.{S}
 He is not forgiving of those who would take his birthright.{S}
 Harrowmont's never made a single decision without the whole Assembly backing him.{S}
 Do you really want a man guarding the Deep Roads who has to check with seventy-nine others before deciding to launch an assault?{S}
 The man you would put on the throne took advantage of an old man's illness to turn him against his own child.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 You will hear plenty when he takes the throne and has all of Harrowmont's men interrogated.{S}
 As I am sure your sister has told you.{S}
 You should have died in the Deep Roads with Trian.{S}
 By helping my prince, you have assured your nephew's future.{S}
 By your actions, you have regained your place in House Aeducan, my Prince.{S}
 By your actions, you have regained your place as an Aeducan, Princess.{S}
 King Bhelen will never give up the throne!{S}
 Dulin Forender has asked me to fight in the Proving today.{S}
 I will support whoever can get me the troops I need.{S}
 What could Bhelen offer me?{S}
 I have nothing to say to you.{S}
 I need aid against a Blight.{S}
 I have heard enough about your political difficulties!{S}
 Then I will have to seek my aid from Harrowmont instead.{S}
 And if you do not fight, your homeland gets destroyed.{S}
 And if we do not fight, our homeland gets destroyed!{S}
 What must I do to prove my good intentions?{S}
 I am not doing Bhelen's dirty work.{S}
 I do not want to get involved in this.{S}
 He would hold a distant relative over his duty?{S}
 Where did you get the promissory notes?{S}
 I will find Lady Dace and Lord Helmi right now.{S}
 I thought King Endrin himself supported Harrowmont.{S}
 Only to tell Bhelen that the next time we meet, he dies.{S}
 I need Bhelen's help.{S}
 I have come to kill him and take back what is mine!{S}
 Let me talk to Bhelen.{S}
 We can put this behind us.{S}
 I never got to congratulate my brother on his rise to power.{S}
 I do not need his trust.{S}
 I would have done the same.{S}
 I have a treaty compelling Orzammar to aid against a Blight.{S}
 If Bhelen promises me troops, I will help him take the throne.{S}
 I will do nothing to compromise my honor.{S}
 What must I do?{S}
 At least that would keep it in the family.{S}
 Bhelen set me up.{S}
 You know, do not you?{S}
 Dulin wants me to champion Harrowmont in the Proving.{S}
 I will do whatever it takes to get Bhelen's support.{S}
 I will go find them right now.{S}
 What exactly did you want me to do?{S}
 I will do whatever I need to.{S}
 Tell me where you really got these.{S}
 I guess that makes sense.{S}
 I will go find Dace and Helmi.{S}
 I do not believe you.{S}
 I serve only myself.{S}
 I am going to take my chances with Lord Harrowmont.{S}
 I serve Bhelen.{S}
 I will do that right now.{S}
 I have a few things to do, first.{S}
 Take me to him.{S}
 I have missed him so.{S}
 As long as Bhelen promises to take care of my sister.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Just tell me what you want me to do.{S}
 Do you want me to claim it was Bhelen who stopped her?{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 You want me to make that evidence public?{S}
 I am to put an end to Jarvia.{S}
 I will need Bhelen's support in return.{S}
 I will bring you everything Harrowmont tells me.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 I want to make it up to Bhelen.{S}
 I would like to meet Prince Bhelen.{S}
 If I have a say, Bhelen will never be king.{S}
 I need to talk to Bhelen.{S}
 It is done.{S}
 What would you give me if I switch my support to Bhelen?{S}
 Why would Bhelen make a better king than Harrowmont?{S}
 Did not Bhelen's own father support Harrowmont for king?{S}
 The king owes you his victory, Warden.{S}
 No visitors are allowed at this time.{S}
 I appreciate what you have done, Warden, and I apologize for putting one of your rank through such trials.{S}
 Even had you not aided me, I would be honor-bound to present your treaty to the Assembly.{S}
 For us, the darkspawn are a constant menace, so a Blight may not elicit the same urgency you are used to.{S}
 If they no longer fear civil war, they will have no reason to hold back.{S}
 Have you heard of a woman named Jarvia and the criminal carta she runs?{S}
 The Assembly receives pleas every day from the common folk, begging that something be done about her.{S}
 So far, no one has managed.{S}
 Bhelen's schemes multiply by the hour, and the sooner this is done, the closer I will be to the throne.{S}
 Let me know when you make your decision.{S}
 I did not... your father did not know of any son.{S}
 I suppose the girl has... no status of her own?{S}
 If you help me take the throne, I promise I will formally adopt the child into my household.{S}
 That is all I can do.{S}
 Bhelen still has a majority and he wants to force a vote tomorrow.{S}
 Now, will you seek out Branka for me?{S}
 What happens to her is more House Aeducan's concern than my own, but I promise no harm will come to her by my doing.{S}
 Do this and I promise if I take the throne, I will not stop until the Assembly sends your troops.{S}
 Do whatever it takes to see that justice is served.{S}
 I hoped you might still have old contacts who could help dig out Jarvia.{S}
 If you would help me in this, it would show the Assembly that I, and not Bhelen, have the ability to defend and rule this city.{S}
 If you want my support to count, I will have to be king, and right now, there is no sure way to get there.{S}
 The sitting king may recommend a successor, but the Assembly ultimately decides who will rule.{S}
 Bhelen has lost nothing that ever belonged to him, and nothing that his own father thought he should have.{S}
 While we need a single king to preside over important functions and lead us in battle, the Assembly better represents all in Orzammar.{S}
 I have never sought the throne.{S}
 My role was to serve Endrin, first as his advisor, then as an elected deshyr in the Assembly.{S}
 A Harrowmont has never been king and I always assumed Trian would rule after his father.{S}
 But both Endrin and my colleagues have asked me to step up, and I will not back down when Orzammar needs me.{S}
 That is exactly why Endrin did not want Bhelen on the throne.{S}
 In Orzammar, the Assembly makes the laws.{S}
 Fighting between king and Assembly has ever boded ill.{S}
 His middle son was found standing over the body and was exiled, but I have always found it suspicious that Bhelen knew just where to look.{S}
 Bhelen resents me because I did not believe his set-up.{S}
 Endrin loved his sons too much to voice such suspicions, but he knew Bhelen's only interest in ruling was to further his own power.{S}
 I must say, after your parting words, I did not expect to see you again.{S}
 I am glad you found a new place among the Grey Wardens.{S}
 House Aeducan ruled for nine generations through talent and honor, not by right.{S}
 It is the Assembly who makes a king, and a king who nominates his successor.{S}
 None of it is carried in the blood.{S}
 Once I would have agreed, but that caravan has long gone.{S}
 House Aeducan struck your name from its records.{S}
 If you went before the Assembly now, you would be a casteless surfacer, with no support in Orzammar.{S}
 He knew what a poor king Bhelen would make; he saw it sooner than the rest of us.{S}
 One of his last requests was that I carry out his wishes as Orzammar's next king.{S}
 Some say Bhelen poisoned him, but I never left Endrin's side, and I do not see how.{S}
 Bhelen <emp>did</emp> kill him, but only by what he did to you.{S}
 Have you considered my offer?{S}
 Please, make yourself comfortable while you wait.{S}
 If you need anything, just ask my wife.{S}
 If you make sure she troubles Orzammar no longer, I promise if I become king, I will send as many troops as I can.{S}
 From my understanding, she started as an underling to a smuggler named Beraht, who died just before the king.{S}
 Could you use your expertise to put an end to her reign of terror?{S}
 Putting an end to her operations would show the Assembly that I, and not Bhelen, have the ability to defend this city.{S}
 I must confess, I did not expect you back so soon.{S}
 I have heard nothing of Dust Town.{S}
 Did you find Jarvia?{S}
 I have already hinted to the Assembly that I might have a big announcement soon.{S}
 They are far more likely to listen if we have something positive to present.{S}
 Something like the end of Jarvia and her carta.{S}
 I have no desire to go back on my word, but when Bhelen heard the news about Jarvia, he raised the stakes.{S}
 To help with your troops, I will require your assistance one last time.{S}
 Do you know anything of the Paragon Branka?{S}
 Branka is a Paragon, the only one we have been blessed with in four generations.{S}
 Two years ago, she took her entire house into the Deep Roads on a mad quest to uncover ancient secrets.{S}
 If you change your mind, let me know.{S}
 It is hard to say <emp>what</emp> she would do.{S}
 It would take a lot to kill so many.{S}
 If not, bringing proof of her death or a body to return to the Stone, would still show that as an ancestor, it was my hand she guided to her remains.{S}
 She would certainly be a valuable voice to support your treaty.{S}
 She was devoted to her craft, never cared for politics.{S}
 But one of the most brilliant minds Orzammar has seen.{S}
 It is many miles below where we normally venture, but I can provide a map to lead you there.{S}
 Yes, a smokeless fuel that made underground forges safer than they have ever been.{S}
 And did Orzammar--and me--a great service.{S}
 Would that some of the noble caste had such loyalty.{S}
 I thank you for helping me remove Jarvia, but it seems Bhelen spread rumors that it was I who raised her in the first place.{S}
 My men have learned nothing new, nor do I yet have anyone's ear in the Assembly.{S}
 Have you decided to help me search for Branka?{S}
 The word publicly is that you support my enemy, but Dulin promises you have sworn yourself to us.{S}
 I would have preferred that you come to me <emp>before</emp> slandering me to some of the highest placed families in Orzammar.{S}
 But with this evidence of Bhelen's depravity, we should be able to work out a mutual arrangement, if not trust.{S}
 If you truly wish to take my side, I ask that you do one more thing for me.{S}
 Do you know anything of the Paragon Branka?{S}
 I assume he seeks the same thing I do.{S}
 If you bring her back to endorse me for king, then I could finally take the throne... and get the troops you are so eager for.{S}
 Then what are you doing here?{S}
 Are you looking for me to better his offer?{S}
 Find Branka, and I will give whatever reward is in my power.{S}
 But bring me Branka, first.{S}
 Show you can do what no one else has, and that you will do it for me, not Bhelen.{S}
 Until then, I have nothing more to say.{S}
 I am glad Endrin did not live to see this.{S}
 The suspicion destroyed his life; the proof would have crushed his soul.{S}
 Have you finally turned your back on Bhelen's treachery?{S}
 Should you find Branka, I trust you will both vote with your hearts.{S}
 I admit, I did not think even Bhelen would defy the word of a Paragon.{S}
 But most of Orzammar has seen him for what he really is, and I trust we will bring this insurgency under control.{S}
 Those loyal to the throne will begin preparations for a surface mission immediately.{S}
 Now, if you will excuse me, I must get to the palace and set our plans in motion.{S}
 I will talk to a sculptor, see what we can do.{S}
 Tell your lover to bring me the child and they will both have a place in House Harrowmont.{S}
 It is the least I can do for your father's grandson.{S}
 This is the staff I carried as King Endrin's second.{S}
 Take it as a reminder of your place in Orzammar.{S}
 You have done more than any other to preserve the city King Endrin loved.{S}
 He would want you to have his maul.{S}
 Your father would be proud of what you did today.{S}
 The king has spoken.{S}
 All I can do now is die with dignity.{S}
 All I want is your support against the Blight.{S}
 You could say we... have some history.{S}
 I will have to think about this.{S}
 My son has been denied noble status.{S}
 Let me go find Jarvia.{S}
 I will deal with Jarvia.{S}
 Bhelen says you are trying to usurp his family's rights.{S}
 The Assembly has more power than the king?{S}
 Just spit out what I need to do to get your help as king.{S}
 Bhelen says you are trying to usurp House Aeducan's rights.{S}
 Father would have wanted me to rule.{S}
 How did my father die?{S}
 Let me get back to that.{S}
 Have you talked to the Assembly about my troops?{S}
 It is done.{S}
 Get to the point.{S}
 Are you sure Branka would support you as king?{S}
 If it will get you the throne, I will find Branka.{S}
 I have heard the name.{S}
 Did not she disappear?{S}
 The Assembly raised her to Paragon for inventing a new fuel.{S}
 I offered them mercy, but they chose to fight.{S}
 I owe you nothing.{S}
 I will side with whoever I need to get troops.{S}
 I have already promised that to Bhelen. <act>Lie</act> I will find Branka and make her endorse you.{S}
 I have evidence that Bhelen sent mercenaries against me.{S}
 I bring you evidence that Bhelen killed Trian.{S}
 As long as it does not interfere with getting me my troops.{S}
 Do not I get a statue or something in my honor?{S}
 He will be cared for?{S}
 Just make sure your army is there when I call for it.{S}
 I have faith in you, King Harrowmont.{S}
 My husband owes you his throne.{S}
 Vartag told me of your efforts against the usurper who tried to claim my father's throne.{S}
 He was mad with grief and Harrowmont did all he could to drive him over the edge.{S}
 I had to tell him goodbye by common messenger!{S}
 Kings have only ever selected someone outside their families if they were childless, or if their children lacked the capacity to rule.{S}
 Or, as now, when someone tries using the Assembly to pull a coup.{S}
 Harrowmont spent his life in the Assembly.{S}
 He only knows how to lead through compromise and capitulation.{S}
 That is not what Orzammar needs.{S}
 The darkspawn are massing for a Blight, the lands topside have been torn apart.{S}
 We need a strong leader now, someone who can stand up to the Assembly.{S}
 Someone who will rule, not persuade.{S}
 We both know that is all that matters.{S}
 There is only one thing of importance when I take the throne: the Blight.{S}
 Then we are allies, for I care for her like a wife, and named her son for my own dead father.{S}
 You need my aid to face the Blight.{S}
 Then we have a common goal.{S}
 You need help, and after what you did to him, Harrowmont will not give it.{S}
 And I do not believe you would risk your alliance just to find out about my brother.{S}
 Do you expect modesty?{S}
 We need absolute unity to fight against the fulcrum of true evil.{S}
 Then you have forgotten your training.{S}
 I cannot send you the troops you need while this senseless debate tears Orzammar apart.{S}
 And sworn on the mail of my ancestors... as soon as Orzammar is united under my rule.{S}
 Unfortunately, while this debate rages, I have no power to send the troops you need.{S}
 You have seen for yourself; the city is a slaughterhouse.{S}
 I could never hold the throne if I allowed such chaos.{S}
 I can hold my throne, thank you.{S}
 But I cannot hold it and send the troops you need.{S}
 Or do you take back that request?{S}
 I did not think so.{S}
 She took over Beraht's carta after you left, and expanded his operations remarkably.{S}
 You have struck a blow against Harrowmont already, and I thank you for that.{S}
 But there is another faction in play here.{S}
 Have you heard of a woman named Jarvia, and the carta of criminals she runs?{S}
 They are a gang of criminals, mostly casteless, led by a repulsive slug of a woman named Jarvia.{S}
 They have paid off numerous guardsmen to build their power.{S}
 They know Orzammar is divided now and has no time for them.{S}
 It is made them bold.{S}
 Well, let us just say my position would be stronger.{S}
 You are talking about that casteless girl who came around claiming to have an Aeducan son.{S}
 Well, Brother, I can not agree to raise a condemned criminal's casteless brat into House Aeducan.{S}
 But I can not make any promises before then.{S}
 But put me on the throne and I will give the whore and her brat the Aeducan name, and a lovely room in the smallest palace.{S}
 Now, get back to Jarvia, or all this will be pointless.{S}
 And if you do not help me, you will never find out, will you?{S}
 Unfortunately, Harrowmont's hold is still strong in the Assembly, so that will require a bit more than you have already done.{S}
 Now my men have traced Branka as far as Caridin's Cross, an ancient crossroads long-since lost to the darkspawn.{S}
 I suggest you start there.{S}
 Unfortunately, while exposing Harrowmont's connections to Jarvia hurt him, it will take more decisive action to win the throne.{S}
 She is secretive, and is only the current leader of a group that has plagued Orzammar for years.{S}
 Still hedging your bets, big brother?{S}
 One of these days, you will have to jump in with both feet.{S}
 Take your time, then.{S}
 Still taking the middle ground, big sister?{S}
 I should have known you would not give a firm answer.{S}
 Jarvia still has many guardsmen on her side.{S}
 What do you say?{S}
 And frankly, until Father's death, she kept her depravity focused on other brands, so no one cared.{S}
 If you can do as you say, you will have the troops you need the moment I take the throne.{S}
 I would never ask for such a thing, but if you do eliminate Jarvia and her thugs, you would have my gratitude.{S}
 And my promise that as king, I will send as many troops as you need to fight the darkspawn.{S}
 Is not that what you are offering?{S}
 If you eliminate Jarvia and her thugs, I will do my best to honor that treaty you are so sweet on.{S}
 If you can eliminate them, I promise as king, I will send as many troops as you need to fight the darkspawn.{S}
 Unfortunately, I have little information on Jarvia.{S}
 Her base of power is in Dust Town, the lowest part of the city, and my men have few sources there.{S}
 You know what I want, and what I can give if I get it.{S}
 Unfortunately, Jarvia's base of operations is in Dust Town, and you know how little leverage we have there.{S}
 But now that you have spent so much time on the surface, you are practically one of them.{S}
 Perhaps you will have better luck.{S}
 Your sister told me you have a history with Jarvia and the carta she runs.{S}
 Now, I will help when I can, but I must send what troops I have now to combat Jarvia and her so-called carta.{S}
 And I could promise you the troops you need.{S}
 I would offer to help, but I imagine you know Dust Town far better than I do.{S}
 And on the souls of our shared ancestors... as soon as Orzammar is united under Aeducan rule.{S}
 You are more pragmatic than I give you credit for.{S}
 It would weaken all of Orzammar if a Harrowmont took the throne.{S}
 You would have acted against me in a heartbeat if I hadn't done it first.{S}
 The same way our father--may the ancestors bless him--convinced his elder brother to enter a Proving against a convicted murderer.{S}
 Who do you think gave the murderer the poison to put on his blade?{S}
 And I guess you have finally learned something about politics.{S}
 Now, Vartag tells me you are here seeking allies against the Blight.{S}
 You should thank me then; you could never handle the throne.{S}
 A king of Orzammar has to be ruthless.{S}
 He has to tell the Assembly to snap to or shut down.{S}
 He has to accept that in any battle, against darkspawn or politicians, there are casualties.{S}
 He was a second son who took the throne of Orzammar.{S}
 Do you honestly believe he did nothing underhanded?{S}
 He may try to kill you."{S}
 Can not let that happen.{S}
 Have to get to him first."{S}
 My Rica tells me you worked yourself all the way up from Dust Town to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Vartag says you have been a great help in my campaign to regain the throne.{S}
 I haven't exactly picked an heir yet.{S}
 He has the same rights as any sons of my wife's body.{S}
 My Rica tells me you won the Grey Wardens' attention at last year's Proving.{S}
 I have heard of no tragic events in Dust Town.{S}
 Have you accomplished what I asked?{S}
 The longer you take, the more both Jarvia and the darkspawn build their power.{S}
 Until then, I have nothing to say.{S}
 She makes her base in Dust Town, but my men never learned where.{S}
 As a stranger, you should be able to find an informant who can tell you how Jarvia's thugs pass through the city unseen.{S}
 As one of their own, it should be easier for you to find someone who will tell you where the spider makes her lair.{S}
 As an exile and one of their own caste, you might find it easier to earn the trust of someone who knows where Jarvia hides.{S}
 I do not care how as long as the snake is dead and my city is returned to order.{S}
 Well, you have simply outdone yourself.{S}
 You have done the city a great service.{S}
 I promise, as soon as I take the throne, I will send the troops you need.{S}
 Killing Jarvia brought me greater favor, but to truly displace Harrowmont, we will need something dramatic enough to end the debate forever.{S}
 What do you know of the Paragon Branka?{S}
 Which of us will you serve?{S}
 If you brave the Deep Roads, do not expect my men to spare you.{S}
 Anyone with her support could take the throne unchallenged.{S}
 But if this voting drags on, or the usurper takes the throne, everything you have done will be for nothing.{S}
 I was hoping you could use your legendary charm to persuade her that the rightful king should take the throne.{S}
 However, if the Deep Roads have... addled her wits, it might be best she not return before the kingship is decided.{S}
 Should she prefer to stay in the Deep Roads rather than help her rightful king take the throne, we must assist her.{S}
 She had an entire house with her, dedicated to her protection.{S}
 It is too risky to assume she is dead, only to have him take credit for finding her.{S}
 I hope <emp>you</emp> will bring her back to endorse me as king.{S}
 So far, my men have traced Branka to Caridin's Cross: an ancient crossroad lost to the darkspawn four centuries ago.{S}
 Her trail ends there.{S}
 Perhaps with your Warden's expertise, you can find what my men could not.{S}
 You have my thanks.{S}
 Seek her in Caridin's Cross.{S}
 I will try to delay the vote until you return.{S}
 I did not know her personally.{S}
 To protect the city, that is the only path we leave open.{S}
 It was once a main thoroughfare, but before Branka, no one had stepped foot there in generations.{S}
 While many deshyrs appreciate my ending Jarvia's threat, Harrowmont still holds great loyalty.{S}
 We need something more... dramatic to shift the balance.{S}
 Then you will have to wait until these things decide themselves.{S}
 And you do not seem the patient type.{S}
 When I take the throne, I will give you troops for the Blight and a shiny Aeducan coat of arms for your by-blow.{S}
 Harrowmont's agents have increased their slanders against me.{S}
 Have you decided to finish what you started?{S}
 Will you go into the Deep Roads to seek Branka's support for my throne?{S}
 What are you still doing here?{S}
 So, despite your rather public show of support for my rival, Vartag tells me you understand who is to be king.{S}
 So what brought about this change of heart?{S}
 You want to play it direct?{S}
 Let me speak frankly.{S}
 You need someone strong on the throne to raise an army against the Blight.{S}
 But you have already damaged my ability to secure the throne.{S}
 That would do little good now, except to paint you as the turncoat you are.{S}
 Exposing Harrowmont's connections to Jarvia has definitely hurt his chances, but I will need something big, something dramatic enough to put me over the edge.{S}
 You can not play a game like this halfway.{S}
 Now, there is something I would like you to do for me.{S}
 Your familial devotion is touching, but that is not the whole story, is it?{S}
 But I think your sudden devotion has more to do with the troops you need.{S}
 I am the only one who can get you your army.{S}
 But first, I need to get on that throne and you have already damaged my ability to do that.{S}
 And I will be the only king who could get you the troops you need to face the Blight.{S}
 I am touched by your family loyalty.{S}
 Rica will be glad you have finally come around.{S}
 If you would prove yourself, ensure Harrowmont's men find no trace of Branka in the Deep Roads.{S}
 You have proven yourself and more, Warden.{S}
 Without your aid, I would not have taken this throne so smoothly or so soon.{S}
 My generals are already preparing for a mission to the surface.{S}
 When you have need of us, you shall have every able-bodied dwarf in Orzammar.{S}
 Since you did more than I expected, I offer a personal reward as well.{S}
 Take it with you as a reminder of your ties to Orzammar.{S}
 Trian used it to crack skulls when he was showing off for Father.{S}
 I am sure he would want you to have it.{S}
 I think you need it more than I do.{S}
 Now, I have much to do.{S}
 I will make sure they take the name and a nice room in the smallest palace.{S}
 Yes, yes, I already have the girl and her brat set up in a room in the smallest palace.{S}
 Do not worry, Brother.{S}
 And if you die in the Blight, I will be sure the whore wears sackcloth for at least a day.{S}
 What do you-- Oh, that is rich.{S}
 You mean that casteless girl, do not you?{S}
 The one claiming to have an Aeducan son.{S}
 I never thought you had it in you, Brother.{S}
 But after what you have done, I can afford to be magnanimous.{S}
 I will make sure they get the Aeducan name and the nicest room in the smallest palace.{S}
 His name need not pass your lips again.{S}
 You have truly surprised me, Sister.{S}
 You have earned the right to rejoin House Aeducan.{S}
 You have truly surprised me, Brother.{S}
 All I care about is getting troops to face the Blight.{S}
 I take it you are not too fond of Harrowmont.{S}
 I heard you are the one King Endrin did not want ruling.{S}
 You think you would make a good king?{S}
 They say you killed your own brother to take his place.{S}
 He claims you are the one King Endrin did not want ruling.{S}
 Why would Harrowmont think you could not rule?{S}
 What would you do differently as king?{S}
 All I care about is if you can help me stop the Blight.{S}
 I wanted to meet you in person and decide.{S}
 Well, you got me there...{S}
 Maybe I could do something about that...{S}
 How can I help you take the throne?{S}
 I will get right on that.{S}
 Why haven't you been able to take her out before?{S}
 And let me guess, you want my help.{S}
 What if I took them out for you?{S}
 Are you trying to go back on your word?{S}
 Now there is a name I never wanted to hear again.{S}
 Why would Harrowmont try to take over?{S}
 You think you would make a better king?{S}
 Harrowmont claims King Endrin did not want you ruling.{S}
 Just tell me the truth, did you poison Father?{S}
 Why did you do it, Bhelen?{S}
 What did I ever do to you?{S}
 I will never forgive you, but we can work together for now.{S}
 I guess I can not blame you for playing a winning hand.{S}
 We do not need a good king now, we need a strong king.{S}
 Father would never do that!{S}
 I only killed Trian because you said he was out to get me.{S}
 Does that put my nephew in line for the throne?{S}
 Why is Harrowmont trying to take the throne from you?{S}
 Does not the Assembly pick the king?{S}
 Let me get back to that.{S}
 Where do I find Jarvia?{S}
 What did you want me to do again?{S}
 I did what you asked.{S}
 Do you have my troops?{S}
 Then I will do whatever it takes to get you on the throne.{S}
 I have already told Harrowmont I would find her for him. <desc>Lie</desc> I will ask her to support you.{S}
 Just the name, really.{S}
 Do you think she would support you as king?{S}
 What makes you think Branka's still alive?{S}
 So you hope to bring her back to endorse you for king.{S}
 I will do nothing more for you.{S}
 I will find her for you.{S}
 If it will get me my troops, I will find Branka.{S}
 I will leave right now to find her.{S}
 What if Branka will not support you?{S}
 Just tell me what you need me to do.{S}
 When you take the throne?{S}
 What good does <emp>that</emp> do?{S}
 The darkspawn do not wait for politics.{S}
 I am not doing anything else for you.{S}
 Most of them had no choice; it wasn't fair to kill them.{S}
 Then you will give my son his place?{S}
 Then I need a favor.{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 Do you want me to publicly endorse you for king?{S}
 I will side with whoever I need to get troops for the Blight.{S}
 I want to do what is best for my nephew.{S}
 You would make a better king than Harrowmont.{S}
 He will be cared for now?{S}
 I need one more favor.{S}
 I will take that as a "thank you."{S}
 I would not let my sister down.{S}
 We are glad to have you here, Warden.{S}
 You can find your mother in the women's quarters.{S}
 How dare you show your face after what you have done to House Aeducan?{S}
 Did the prince decide he likes boys, or did you find some other way to bring in coin?{S}
 What'd you ever do but make me fat and old and ugly?{S}
 Well, who needs you, anyway?{S}
 Rica and I are doing fine here, just fine!{S}
 You know what they keep up here?{S}
 They got wine from the surface, ale, brandy...{S}
 They got a whole room of it.{S}
 An' nobody's gonna stop me taking it, because I am the brat's grandmother.{S}
 Rica moved us into the palace, made everything perfect, right?{S}
 I have seen how they look at me.{S}
 Not one of them would let me step foot here if it wasn't for Rica!{S}
 One more thing my kids've done that I am supposed to be happy for.{S}
 But do they ever think about me?{S}
 What is she done besides getting herself knocked up?{S}
 I had two worthless brats and no one ever gave me the time of day for it.{S}
 I deserve what she got!{S}
 And do not you tell me any different!{S}
 You think I do not got the right to be happy?{S}
 You think I do not deserve what everyone else has?{S}
 You are never gonna be nothing but Dust Town.{S}
 You find some princeling to give you pretty clothes while he sticks it to you, like your sister?{S}
 Putting on airs.{S}
 Too good to spend any time with your own mam.{S}
 I have missed you, too.{S}
 I do not need to take this.{S}
 Does not Rica take care of you?{S}
 Do not you <emp>dare</emp> ruin that.{S}
 How may I serve you?{S}
 I guess you are not asking for anything official, or you would be at the Shaperate, but I can certainly give you a mole's-eye view.{S}
 I am sure you have heard of Prince Bhelen and Lord Harrowmont.{S}
 If you want to reach the prince, talk to Vartag Gavorn: he is Bhelen's second.{S}
 Dulin Forender does the same for Lord Harrowmont.{S}
 If it is the Assembly you want, Steward Bandelor is the only one authorized to take outsiders' requests.{S}
 If you are looking for lectures, try the Shaperate.{S}
 If you want to meet our great fighters, go to the Provings.{S}
 But if you are in a hurry, try Lord Harrowmont's estate in the Diamond Quarter.{S}
 Well, I certainly do not keep tabs on the prince's men, but he spends a lot of time at the Assembly.{S}
 Well, you are in the Commons now--where most of us working folk ply our trades.{S}
 You will find the Assembly there, the palace, the Shaperate, and plenty of estates.{S}
 But if you want fun, your best bet is the Proving.{S}
 Rules Orzammar, basically.{S}
 The king, when we have one, makes day-to-day judgments.{S}
 But on big things, the Assembly's got final say.{S}
 It is made up of deshyrs--representatives from every noble family with a king, general, or Paragon in its ancestry.{S}
 He handles all outside requests for the Assembly.{S}
 Did you notice the big statues on your way in?{S}
 When they win a great battle or invent something ground-shaking, the Assembly raises them.{S}
 Whatever caste they started as, they become nobles and found their own houses.{S}
 It is not part of the city, just some old tunnels where the casteless build their nests.{S}
 It is the bureau of all the shapers in Orzammar, led by the shaper of memories.{S}
 They keep all of our records, laws, genealogies...{S}
 You got questions about Orzammar's history and do not mind answers in words as long as your leg, that is the place to go.{S}
 Maybe no one cares in Dust Town, but the shapers keep all of Orzammar's records, laws, genealogies...{S}
 Never met her.{S}
 He is got records on whatever you need to know.{S}
 Usually, he can not get anyone to listen to him go on about Branka.{S}
 With fifty-two types of ale, seventeen types of mead, and a dozen imported wines, we should be able to serve your needs.{S}
 What will you have?{S}
 I have an award-winning honey mead.{S}
 She has a heavy head and a deep, rich taste.{S}
 Three silvers gives you a pint.{S}
 When he tried hailing the dwarf, the fellow ran off, screaming.{S}
 Well, I have other customers to see to.{S}
 If you need anything else, just call me over.{S}
 Vartag Gavorn certainly owes Prince Bhelen.{S}
 From a minor House to a prince's right-hand man--he would do anything Bhelen asked him.{S}
 A few months ago, you might have seen the prince here, but now he never leaves his estate.{S}
 He is a good man, puts Orzammar's needs above his own.{S}
 If you want to drink in here, brand, you would better have the coin.{S}
 Ach, so that explains the steel you are wearing; I was about to call a guard.{S}
 I suppose you are the one from the Proving.{S}
 Well, welcome to Tapsters, and hope we can serve you.{S}
 I do not care if you are a Grey Warden.{S}
 If you need to speak to one of my patrons, do it quickly.{S}
 But do not expect me to serve you.{S}
 Do not expect him to be chatty.{S}
 Easy to spot; everyone gives him a wide berth.{S}
 Spends a lot of time here.{S}
 He is the one raising rabble to the right.{S}
 You have some nerve.{S}
 But with him, you know what you are getting.{S}
 That I could believe, but do not think I will take your word on it.{S}
 Now what do you want here?{S}
 Did you need something else, Warden?{S}
 Orzammar may have a new king, but that do not keep the drunks from their ale.{S}
 I hear you put your brother on the throne.{S}
 I hear you helped Lord Harrowmont take the throne.{S}
 Where can I find Steward Bandelor?{S}
 Where can I find Dulin Forender?{S}
 Where can I find Vartag Gavorn?{S}
 What does the Assembly do?{S}
 What is the Proving?{S}
 Where can I find the shaper of memories?{S}
 Sold!{S}
 I will have some ale.{S}
 Maybe I will have something else.{S}
 Sold.{S}
 Is that how you treat a Grey Warden?{S}
 I am looking for a man named Ordel.{S}
 I do not need your attitude.{S}
 Do you serve Bhelen?{S}
 Ooohh, I have heard of dwarves who get in fights, 'bout every time they drink,{S}
 And those who need to have a woman just to help them think,{S}
 Just pour out all his ale and take away his mead!{S}
 And though I tried a time or two, I ne'r got raised for stinking,{S}
 But hang around here long enough and do not you go a blinking,{S}
 'Cuz someday I am gonna be the Paragon of Drinking!{S}
 On the surface, there are no castes and it works fine.{S}
 Well, I would ask for proof, or why you care, but frankly, I am so tired of it I am not even surprised anymore.{S}
 I do not even want the land, but my house would kill me if I turned it down.{S}
 Now I will have to go through the whole process of rejecting the deal, and they will both have to try something else.{S}
 You are just doing what you think is right.{S}
 I will have to inform Mother that Lord Harrowmont hasn't bought our vote after all.{S}
 I <emp>have</emp> seen them together and he <emp>does</emp> care for her.{S}
 Perhaps he is more open-minded than I thought.{S}
 I do not know; I hear he killed his own brother.{S}
 That is worse than crooked land deals.{S}
 Did not he accuse you of murdering your own brother?{S}
 Why would you work for him now?{S}
 You do not have to.{S}
 Does it?{S}
 I sometimes wonder if it would not do better with a fair and intelligent leader... but I guess that is harder to find.{S}
 If you can forgive him that, perhaps I should give him a second look.{S}
 A king needs loyalty, and evidently, he has yours.{S}
 Does not make a difference anyway.{S}
 Well, I have taken the time to actually <emp>talk</emp> to the other castes.{S}
 You know, most smiths and tavern-keeps would make decent deshyrs if we gave them a chance and a seat in the Assembly.{S}
 Or did they leave off at "greatest shame to ever fall upon the Assembly?"{S}
 I have always liked that one.{S}
 You do not get far as the youngest and most out-spoken member of the Assembly without keeping an ear to the Stone.{S}
 Lord Denek Helmi, honored deshyr of the Orzammar Assembly and terrible disappointment to my esteemed mother, who does not like me spending time in taverns.{S}
 The Assembly passed laws prohibiting the casteless from holding any job a legitimate citizen can do.{S}
 What else can they do?{S}
 I doubt either candidate has been outside the Diamond Quarter in his life, but Lord Harrowmont seems a bit more... forgiving.{S}
 Prince Bhelen's brilliant, I will give him that, and subtle as sin.{S}
 But I do not think anything in Orzammar matters more to him than winning.{S}
 I heard there was a Grey Warden in town, and the only dwarf to join in years was the casteless who won the Proving.{S}
 I heard the prince was back, and had become a Grey Warden.{S}
 It wasn't hard to pick you out.{S}
 I heard the princess was back and had become a Grey Warden.{S}
 With the company you keep, it wasn't hard to guess.{S}
 You have been living on the surface, right?{S}
 Does it function any worse than Orzammar for having abolished caste?{S}
 She withdrew all Helmi family support.{S}
 'Course you are not the one who has to live with the success.{S}
 Had a change of heart, did you?{S}
 How does the caste system work, anyway?{S}
 I have news.{S}
 Harrowmont is double-dealing you and Lady Dace.{S}
 Why vote for Harrowmont, if you did not want the land?{S}
 My sister is casteless and Bhelen raised her to his house.{S}
 Orzammar needs a strong and ruthless leader.{S}
 So you get to vote on the next king?{S}
 What do you think of the candidates for king?{S}
 Do not bust a gut or anything.{S}
 Name's Nevin.{S}
 Not much use in turning our weapons elsewhere while those vermin still live.{S}
 Aye, I heard the Grey Wardens picked you out of the Deep.{S}
 What was his name?{S}
 Orzammar politics are getting near as dangerous as battle.{S}
 Guess that is why they picked you, then.{S}
 Every Grey Warden ends up there.{S}
 Go die in the dark, putting away as many vermin as you can.{S}
 Getting more crowded these days, though.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont's got his own men there.{S}
 Guess the city's getting to miss having a Paragon.{S}
 Everyone wants someone to put in charge.{S}
 But she went batty and led her whole house into the Deep Roads more than two years ago.{S}
 Excuse me, this brew is starting to taste awful bitter.{S}
 I met him, sure.{S}
 Not many do.{S}
 You have to be on the front lines.{S}
 Do not mind if I do.{S}
 You work for Bhelen?{S}
 I have never been in the Deep Roads.{S}
 Then do not go staring at folks who're trying to relax.{S}
 I have got a family and reputation to protect.{S}
 I am not letting one stupid girl drag us all down.{S}
 You think she would die just to keep that... thing?{S}
 She knows what she has to do to come home.{S}
 I have no daughter.{S}
 Could be you met a casteless whore claiming she was once mine.{S}
 Smart folks do not stick their noses in other people's business.{S}
 She knows what she has to do to come home.{S}
 So tell her that... and do not ever tell me what to do with my family.{S}
 You think she would die just to keep that thing?{S}
 She knows what she has to do to come home.{S}
 Can not she see she would have a better life if she got rid of it?{S}
 Her mother and I are waiting for her. <desc>Sigh</desc> I guess I should put this right.{S}
 I have been trying.{S}
 I do not share drinks with casteless.{S}
 Do not start something you can not finish, brand.{S}
 If you do not take them back, that is murder.{S}
 I met your daughter.{S}
 If you do not take Zerlinda back, she will die.{S}
 You have to take them both.{S}
 But what can you do?{S}
 And I do not share them with boors.{S}
 A plate of your best soup, and bring it while it is hot.{S}
 I have never seen anyone hand it to Piotin Aeducan like that.{S}
 This means Bhelen's never going to pay my father's commission.{S}
 Just take a table.{S}
 We got nothing to buy for the likes of you.{S}
 Or maybe you wanted to sell?{S}
 Best way to find it is stand on any street corner in Orzammar and insult Jarvia's mother.{S}
 And have a real long time to get to know the place.{S}
 You cross her or even talk bad, your bones end up in the lava.{S}
 But I tell you, I have watched them, they go up to what look like bare walls and poof!{S}
 Now you want to buy something, or are we done?{S}
 Now, you owe me thirty silver.{S}
 Get out!{S}
 Pleasure doing business.{S}
 Enough to know she do not fancy strangers asking questions.{S}
 Why do not you take a look?{S}
 You got more business for me?{S}
 But I have seen Jarvia's men carrying them.{S}
 If I like your information, you may get more.{S}
 Actually, now's when I kill you so you do not tell anyone.{S}
 What do you know about Jarvia?{S}
 I have some spare equipment.{S}
 What will you give me?{S}
 This does not look like a store.{S}
 Any idea what this is? <act>Show fingerbone token.</act> <desc>This door appears to be made of solid stone.{S}
 There are no visible means of opening it.</desc> <desc>On closer inspection, there is a small slot concealed in a fold of the stone, just big enough for a finger.</desc> <desc>You see nothing but blackness.</desc> <act>Put finger bone token in the slot.</act> <act>Look through the slot.</act>{S}
 You miss getting spit on?{S}
 You are playing some pretty high-stakes games.{S}
 Well, I am glad I caught you first, duster, because I have been keeping out of sight since you took off.{S}
 None of them will give two lumps of coal for what happens here, right?{S}
 Jarvia did not waste a day.{S}
 She made some kind of deal with Beraht's family topside, claimed to be his wife, and kept the whole lyrium trade flowing.{S}
 But Endrin's death really opened new ground.{S}
 I have been staying out of sight since you left, but I am sure she is heard you are back in town.{S}
 What do you want her for?{S}
 You think Jarvia'd give me a hug and kiss for taking down her lover?{S}
 We even talked about taking over when he was gone; you think she can not smell that?{S}
 Look, she would kill me if she knew I know this, but after Bhelen took Rica up-city, the carta laid claim to your old home.{S}
 They put a back entrance in.{S}
 Now I would better get out of here before anyone sees us together.{S}
 So now you are doing Harrowmont's dirty work?{S}
 So now you are doing Bhelen's dirty work?{S}
 She got what she wanted and did not even have to pay Beraht his cut.{S}
 Still does not exactly make him the champion of Dust Town, you know.{S}
 Showing your stride in <emp>another</emp> Proving, this time in Lord Harrowmont's name.{S}
 Just because you and Rica managed to find a vein does not make anything different for the rest of us.{S}
 So, what are you doing here?{S}
 I have had to get all my trouble myself since you left.{S}
 But you know, I got really good at it.{S}
 And do not you sound all proper and fancy-like.{S}
 Please... stranger... let me out.{S}
 We have been down here...{S}
 M-my friend did not make it.{S}
 Just stopped eating one day and...{S}
 All for a stupid bet!{S}
 I do not have time for reunions.{S}
 Do you know what happened to the carta after I left?{S}
 Where could I find her?{S}
 If I get to kill Jarvia, I do not care who asked it.{S}
 What are you still doing here?{S}
 Miss getting you in trouble, duster!{S}
 No need to get testy.{S}
 You really want to take that attitude?{S}
 I hear you have been looking for someone and I might know where she is.{S}
 It is a lot less use to me than coin, no?{S}
 Will not be easy to find one like me: used to be in the carta, but can not run with them anymore.{S}
 Most of those who would talk do not know anything, and those who know do not talk.{S}
 Do not start chewing the floor.{S}
 I used to run for her, back in the day.{S}
 You got some silver?{S}
 It takes a stranger to notice how bad things are, huh?{S}
 What takes you out of the Diamond Quarter, stranger?{S}
 You got a vice you are looking for old Nadezda to fill?{S}
 If you ever need an ear on the ground in Dust Town, do not forget old Nadezda.{S}
 If you have that kind of coin, salroka, you do not want to drink what they have got here.{S}
 Take yourself up to Tapsters.{S}
 Long as your face is not branded, they have got anything you want.{S}
 Means you do not exist.{S}
 It tells everyone who sees you not to work with you, not to serve you, and not to care if you are hurt.{S}
 You are born to wear a branded face in Orzammar and you will live your life in Dust Town.{S}
 I would say it was an accident, try to get some sympathy coin, but you look like you would rather hear the truth.{S}
 Duster I was with had coin for a bribe, but I took a stand.{S}
 Guardsman broke my sodding kneecaps and had me kneel in dung until the infection set in.{S}
 But if there were one job I could take other than selling myself to the carta, I would have been there.{S}
 I do not know where you are from, but in Orzammar, casteless have no lineage, so it is no crime to hurt you.{S}
 You think they should not, you take them fancy clothes and tell the Assembly attacking a casteless should be a crime.{S}
 And let me tell you, it is worse now than in my day.{S}
 Jarvia's got her boys everywhere.{S}
 They tell you and you jump, 'cause they are the only ones with the coin and the steel to get whatever they want.{S}
 I used to run with her.{S}
 I lived it, my friend, and let me tell you, it is worse now than in my day.{S}
 Jarvia took over the carta not more than a year ago, and already she is got every duster with both legs bearing swords for her.{S}
 I am not in the good anymore, and Jarvia's gotten real careful lately.{S}
 They do, but it is not easy to find.{S}
 Jarvia's got real paranoid.{S}
 Not many from your parts even bring coin down here, much less share it.{S}
 You got a vice to fill?{S}
 Old Nadezda can set you right up...{S}
 You used to work for Beraht before you jaunted off to be a Grey Warden.{S}
 What in the dust are you doing here?{S}
 No one who gets out of this place wants back.{S}
 Aye, I did some soldiering for Beraht.{S}
 Until some new-commissioned guardsmen decided to teach some brands a lesson.{S}
 Broke both my knees, then made me kneel in dung for an hour until I passed out from the pain.{S}
 Beraht tossed me on the street since I had no more use.{S}
 Pretty much how my mam told me I would end up.{S}
 You had the whole neighborhood terrified.{S}
 You, uh, look like you have done well.{S}
 I got nothing more to give!{S}
 Well, it was worth a try.{S}
 She is gotten real careful since Beraht died, real paranoid.{S}
 She is got carta members all carrying these finger-bone tokens.{S}
 There is doors to her base all over the city, but only one is ever open at a time, and if you show up without a token, you would never know it was there.{S}
 The carta members keep them real tight.{S}
 Some of the men thought Beraht made a bad choice in her, but they are all feeding the lava.{S}
 She killed a few of Beraht's relatives topside, got them in line, and the goods've been fast and steady since.{S}
 I owe you when I get back on my feet.{S}
 If my feet still worked.{S}
 Did not get enough of the architectural beauty of Dust Town?{S}
 You need ol' Nadezda to play tour guide?{S}
 Just can not get enough, huh?{S}
 You got a free ride out of here, duster!{S}
 Why do you keep coming back?{S}
 Get your miserly tail out of my sight!{S}
 'Course with my track record, you are probably safer if I keep on.{S}
 Do not mind me.{S}
 All alone here, not two bits to my name...{S}
 Not unless you find one of those fingerbone tokens her boys carry.{S}
 Her base has entrances all over the lower city, but they only keep one open at a time.{S}
 If you want in, you need the token.{S}
 Jarvia's got the scent now.{S}
 She knows you are looking, and she is put word out to everyone in Dust Town that you are marked.{S}
 Uh, if anyone's spying on us, I have got hard evidence he is completely insane.{S}
 I do not talk to her unless it means my life.{S}
 I do not know you.{S}
 I do not know him!{S}
 I do not know her!{S}
 Well, now that they have got a new king, everyone's forgotten about us.{S}
 Tell me about the carta and maybe you can keep that tongue.{S}
 I am not taking your word for it.{S}
 Forty silvers if you tell me exactly where to find Jarvia.{S}
 I will give you twenty silvers to tell me about the carta.{S}
 And what will you give me in exchange?{S}
 I might have money if you have information.{S}
 Buy yourself some food.{S}
 Where is a body go to get drunk around here?{S}
 What do you mean by "brand?"{S}
 I should get going now.{S}
 Take care of yourself.{S}
 How did you get crippled?{S}
 Can they just get away with that?{S}
 You worked for the carta?{S}
 Do you know a woman named Jarvia?{S}
 Can you take me to her?{S}
 Does the carta have a base anywhere?{S}
 I wanted to hear what the carta's been doing since I left.{S}
 Did not you used to run for Beraht, too?{S}
 If you can not get me Jarvia, you do not deserve my coin!{S}
 I have nothing more to spare.{S}
 I would never have ended up like you.{S}
 I will give you ten silver.{S}
 Take care of yourself.{S}
 Do you know where I can find Jarvia?{S}
 Where do I find one of these tokens?{S}
 Where can I find Jarvia again?{S}
 Did you rat me out to Jarvia?{S}
 She tried to kill me!{S}
 So you did not tell her?{S}
 You do not look like any guardsman I ever saw, and that is not much of a uniform.{S}
 Enough to know the coin'd have to be real good to risk turning her against me.{S}
 That is one of the tokens her men use.{S}
 You want more'n that, we need to talk business.{S}
 Sounds like a deal.{S}
 What I need's pretty simple, especially if you spend any time on the surface.{S}
 Only way to get in is to use one of the tokens Jarvia's men carry.{S}
 They switch them out once a week to keep them safe.{S}
 Then, if you look careful, especially around here, you might find some walls set up with slots for the tokens.{S}
 Find the right wall and the right trinket and you just might get inside.{S}
 But I can tell you one thing for free.{S}
 For that, all I can say is she is got a secret base that runs through half the city and only her men get in and out.{S}
 If you are looking to make trouble, I suggest you find a safer line of work.{S}
 Not without knowing you will not bring the guardsmen running.{S}
 You look like someone who might do business on the surface... and maybe are not so picky about who you do it with.{S}
 To tell the truth, I was supposed to meet someone.{S}
 But it does not look like he is made it through the gate.{S}
 Any chance you are looking to make a little coin?{S}
 Or at least sweeping through the Diamond Quarter to carry off someone's firstborn?{S}
 And bring the guardsmen running?{S}
 You looking for a chance to bring in some coin?{S}
 Could be I have that opportunity.{S}
 Long as you keep your eyes down and your mouth shut, we have got no further business.{S}
 Human kings, you know, they make these ridiculous laws.{S}
 Like about who gets to buy and sell lyrium, the sacred gift the Stone provides us to show her love.{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 The laws are meant to keep mages away from the stuff, so there is always buyers in the Circle Tower.{S}
 I have got one man, name's Godwin, he is expecting a delivery of a stone's weight.{S}
 And, uh, if you bring back his return order, I could pay you... say twenty sovereigns as a finder's fee?{S}
 And templars do not talk except to their own.{S}
 Get out of here!{S}
 Most dwarves born down here have a natural immunity.{S}
 Other races, there are problems if they spend too long with the ore.{S}
 You, ah, probably do not want to take it out of the box.{S}
 And if you bring me back his next order, I can give you twenty as a "finder's fee."{S}
 After you have dealt with Jarvia, of course.{S}
 It is only found down here and human mages can not work without it.{S}
 Ah, no offense, but your kings have some laws that do not make sense in a practical kind of world.{S}
 You gonna say what you want or you just gonna keep lurking?{S}
 What did I tell you about poking around here and looking suspicious?{S}
 We got company.{S}
 Pleasure working with you.{S}
 Mage named Godwin.{S}
 But if you are dumb enough to buy yourself a box of lyrium and forget to sell it, no dust off my back.{S}
 You make it to the Tower yet?{S}
 What did I tell you about double-crossing me?{S}
 I can not believe I would offer that much.{S}
 But I do appreciate what you did.{S}
 I am gonna give you twenty-five, and let us call it even.{S}
 I do not cheat, so do not go making accusations.{S}
 That is much more than I would ever offer.{S}
 Now are you going to take the ten, or do my boys have to get involved?{S}
 You can try.{S}
 If you were not paying attention, I would know you did not need the coin, right?{S}
 I really, really enjoyed doing business with you, friend.{S}
 But... that is who buys lyrium.{S}
 You made your own deal with Godwin.{S}
 You are trying to undercut me!{S}
 I am holding off on any new shipments until this surface war is done.{S}
 You got information to sell?{S}
 Fifteen sovereigns for how to get into her base, then.{S}
 You have any other business we could do together?{S}
 I will give you five silvers to tell me what you know.{S}
 Did you have something in mind?{S}
 If you tell me what you are doing, maybe I can help...{S}
 I would have to hear what you are asking.{S}
 It must be dangerous if you are paying so much.{S}
 You have a deal.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 Do not you try to cheat me!{S}
 I am taking my twenty out of your hide!{S}
 I just want this done.{S}
 Delivery was made beforehand.{S}
 You got a crust of bread to spare?{S}
 Please do not kill me.{S}
 Do you know where I can find Jarvia's base?{S}
 Congratulations, you found it.{S}
 D-do not kill me!{S}
 Sodding ancestors, what do they teach you on the surface?{S}
 You have to understand.{S}
 I-I got a little girl there.{S}
 How do they say it?{S}
 The ancestors have shown their favor.{S}
 Y-you can get to it through the wall of the third house on this row.{S}
 Put this token through the slot and it will open.{S}
 Will... will you let me go now?{S}
 J-Jarvia said you have been asking about...{S}
 Oh, do not look at me like that!{S}
 I got a kid.{S}
 I got no other way to bring in coin.{S}
 I was just doing what Leske asked!{S}
 Said Jarvia gave the word to make sure you never left.{S}
 He told us he would get you here.{S}
 All we had to do was take you out.{S}
 You do not disobey Leske, you know?{S}
 Tell me how to find Jarvia, or you join them!{S}
 Not as much as you will suffer if you do not talk!{S}
 And you will not want to be at Jarvia's when I get there.{S}
 Why did you attack me?!{S}
 Tell me how to find Jarvia, or you join your friends!{S}
 Leske's working for Jarvia?{S}
 How do I get there?{S}
 H-have you a coin to spare, m'lord?{S}
 He hasn't any clean clothes to wear, or anything to eat today.{S}
 N-neither have I.{S}
 My family has disowned me.{S}
 Why should you care?{S}
 You look at me and see the same shame everyone else does.{S}
 You have already been so kind.{S}
 My name is Zerlinda.{S}
 And it is my own fault, ancestors curse me, but there is nothing I can do to set it right!{S}
 He seemed so exotic, you know, tough and smart and never had to bow his head to anyone.{S}
 He was casteless, and I think... no, I know he was just trying to father a higher-caste child, so he could petition for status.{S}
 Unless I agree to abandon the child in the Deep Roads and pretend I never bore him.{S}
 I can become casteless with him, which is what I have done.{S}
 Others have raised children like this, right?{S}
 Had my baby been a girl, she would've been a miner, like me.{S}
 I cannot abandon my baby.{S}
 The shapers teach that only children of true lineage exist, not those born casteless.{S}
 But they never carried a child.{S}
 I will not abandon him!{S}
 I need to find some place for us to sleep.{S}
 I will make sure that at least today, my son will be warm, safe, and glad to be alive.{S}
 Maybe it would be better to spare him that, let him join the ancestors.{S}
 I-I have to be alone now.{S}
 Do you... perhaps you could talk to him?{S}
 They say there is no caste up there, that humans do not care about lineage.{S}
 I have never met a surfacer, though.{S}
 What do I risk on the surface that is worse than starving here?{S}
 Thank you, stranger, for opening my eyes.{S}
 And that is more than I can give my son here.{S}
 I am not afraid of hard work, only of being somewhere with no chance to do it.{S}
 If it gives my son a chance to live, I will go.{S}
 And you have been kinder than any of my countrymen.{S}
 Y-you would do that?{S}
 Then I cannot offer enough gratitude.{S}
 His name is Ordel and he is usually at Tapsters in the evening.{S}
 I do not think he will listen to you.{S}
 But I will wait anxiously to see if you can do what you promise.{S}
 If you would do this for gain and not compassion, then there is no hope for my son.{S}
 We have nothing to offer but gratitude.{S}
 Thank you for listening, even if you could not find it in your heart to help us.{S}
 And look at the finery you wear.{S}
 I have heard that word.{S}
 Well, my son has a father, for all the good it is done him.{S}
 I used to be a miner, but my parents stripped my caste and refused to accept me back.{S}
 And what would you have me do?{S}
 When my very family has disowned me unless I--{S}
 He was eager enough for a daughter who would bring him into the Mining Caste.{S}
 I have not seen nose or heel of the lout.{S}
 I do not know anything... unless you want the names of every mining family in Orzammar.{S}
 I-I have heard of it, but...{S}
 I am sorry I do not know more.{S}
 I still do not know how to do it, really.{S}
 How do people live like this?{S}
 That a stranger would care so much when my own family barred me from their halls unless I am willing to--{S}
 H-have you a coin to spare, m'lady?{S}
 Coins for the need-- Oh.{S}
 I did not realize I asked you before.{S}
 What can you do?{S}
 Or have him born a girl?{S}
 It is rare to find someone willing to help a casteless once, much less twice.{S}
 My name is Zerlinda of the--I keep forgetting I can no longer introduce myself as Mining Caste.{S}
 Do not talk to me, child-killer!{S}
 I have to find food for my child...{S}
 What did he say?{S}
 I will wait as long as it takes.{S}
 You said you would find aid for me from the man who wants to start a chantry.{S}
 You said you would talk to my family for me... about taking back me and the child...{S}
 I do not know how he can look at my baby and see such a monster.{S}
 Thank you for trying.{S}
 We will have to find a way to manage on our own.{S}
 Others have done it.{S}
 I do not believe he said that.{S}
 I have never heard him refer to my son as anything but trash.{S}
 But maybe... maybe Mother convinced him, or you did.{S}
 I-I never thought anyone in Orzammar could care for the fate of a casteless child.{S}
 If there is something he can do for my son...{S}
 I will count your name higher than the ancestors!{S}
 I do not have time for your hysterics.{S}
 That does sound like the best option, I am afraid.{S}
 What kind of life will he have?{S}
 They help children in need.{S}
 I will ask if he can take the child.{S}
 He may take the child.{S}
 Can not you just take your son to the surface?{S}
 Then stay here and die if you can not take a risk.{S}
 It will be hard, but you can make a life there.{S}
 Do not look a gift Warden in the mouth.{S}
 I was hoping you would offer me a reason...{S}
 Then I will let you fix your own problems.{S}
 I do not like to see a child suffer.{S}
 What does your family want you to do?{S}
 Get a job!{S}
 Why does not your son's father help you?{S}
 I could help you if you have some information.{S}
 I do not need your sob story.{S}
 So you do not know anything about Jarvia?{S}
 Buy yourself a meal.{S}
 You need it more than I do.{S}
 Let me get back to that.{S}
 What did you want me to do, again?{S}
 Your father will not take you back while the child lives.{S}
 He will care for you.{S}
 Looks like we have a martyr, boys.{S}
 I do not know...{S}
 "Harrowmont rules forever?"{S}
 "Bhelen rules forever?"{S}
 So, Bhelen finally realized his throne means nothing if he can not hold it, yet he still does not bother to send his own men.{S}
 Well, you picked the wrong side, stranger.{S}
 It does not matter who is king, as long as there is a queen!{S}
 Boys, why do not we help him take his own advice.{S}
 You will pay for their deaths a hundred times over.{S}
 But leave the mouthy one alive: I have plans for him.{S}
 But leave the pretty one alive: I have plans for her.{S}
 So, Harrowmont finally realized we are taking the city, yet he still can not be bothered to send his own men.{S}
 Even in death, he has his vengeance!{S}
 Make him?{S}
 Who do you think suggested going after you?{S}
 Leske's been licking my feet to get back in favor ever since you crawled out from under Beraht's corpse.{S}
 When he heard you were in town, he finally had a way to prove his loyalty.{S}
 No? <desc>Laughs</desc> We will see who holds the leash, here.{S}
 What was I supposed to do?{S}
 Not all of us got your opportunities.{S}
 What else could he do?{S}
 You got too much sun on the brain.{S}
 She is got the swords, she is got the coin, and she is got the bed where I sleep.{S}
 If you were here, you would have done the same.{S}
 I would have shared a mug for it, sure.{S}
 We do not have to fight.{S}
 Who did you have to kill to make Leske turn on me?{S}
 I do not believe you!{S}
 How could you do this?{S}
 You will die for what you did!{S}
 How could you trust her after what Beraht did to us?{S}
 I never would have betrayed you!{S}
 I am sorry, but I cannot allow you past the front lines without a deshyr's permission.{S}
 And I have heard nothing of any new patrols scheduled to leave today.{S}
 I see you have his daughter's seal, so I will not stop you.{S}
 Just because the beasts have pulled back from Orzammar does not mean there are any fewer in the Deep Roads.{S}
 For your sake, I hope you have no reason to come here again.{S}
 But both Bhelen and Harrowmont had men looking just this week.{S}
 You do not think maybe she is still there, Commander?{S}
 She would do it just to spite me.{S}
 You have been saying that for years, Oghren.{S}
 You know the Legion, do not you?{S}
 Anyone who can bear arms can join, no matter his crimes... or sanity.{S}
 They hold a funeral when they join and swear their only goal is a glorious death.{S}
 Walk on two legs, but they have the head of a worm, and hunt in packs.{S}
 Watch out, they are not afraid to take on a group their own size.{S}
 Either we finally have the edge, which I doubt, or the beasts are building up numbers for the next attack.{S}
 But Commander, Lord Harrowmont sent word to let the Warden pass.{S}
 But Commander, Prince Bhelen sent word to let the Warden pass.{S}
 Open your eyes, man!{S}
 This Grey Warden is on a quest to find your Paragon!{S}
 Do I have to take your stinking head off?{S}
 Oghren <emp>could</emp> have been a deshyr for House Branka.{S}
 I would offer more assistance, but my command post is here.{S}
 All of Orzammar relies on us to hold this line.{S}
 Orzammar needs a Paragon now more than ever.{S}
 Did we make these tunnels tall enough for humans?{S}
 Just can not get enough of our clammy mine air, can you?{S}
 Did you need something?{S}
 Warden, many had begun to give up hope.{S}
 I have strict instructions to bring you before the Assembly the moment you return.{S}
 I will take you to the Assembly when you are ready.{S}
 The Assembly paid you great honor, Warden.{S}
 What I am doing here is none of your business.{S}
 I have to find Lord Dace.{S}
 Will you let me pass?{S}
 I have permission from Lady Dace.{S}
 Why do you need patrols?{S}
 What do you know about Paragon Branka?{S}
 Actually, they have made their move... on the surface.{S}
 You are going to get me arrested!{S}
 What Oghren is trying to say is that we have permission.{S}
 I am going to find Branka.{S}
 Tell them that Paragon Caridin has chosen a king.{S}
 You may tell them that Branka has chosen the next king.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 These passages are not the smooth roads you are used to.{S}
 Well, look what we have here...{S}
 Let us show 'em who is king!{S}
 Do not mess with the Legion.{S}

 I have claimed it!{S}
 Ruck's been here for years now, and no shiny surfacer will take him away!{S}
 You will bring the dark ones back, you will!{S}
 Word has it you can only survive down here by eating the darkspawn dead.{S}
 It brings the taint.{S}
 Ruck's been here for years now, and no city dwarf will take him away!{S}
 You have come to take my claim!{S}
 Well, I found it first!{S}
 You have come to take my claim!{S}
 Well, I found it first!{S}
 The crawlers will take you away, oh yes!{S}
 Only I gets to plunder its riches!{S}
 I am the one who found it.{S}
 I am the one who found it.{S}
 Get out!{S}
 Everything the crawlers did not already take!{S}
 I found it!{S}
 Please do not hurt Ruck.{S}
 So... the pretty lady will not take anything from Ruck?{S}
 You will not take Ruck's shiny worms and pretty rocks?{S}
 You are here to take everything!{S}
 But I will not let you!{S}
 You-you will not take anything from Ruck?{S}
 You will not take his shiny worms?{S}
 Get out!{S}
 Get out!{S}
 Yes, Ruck's my name.{S}
 I do not hear it much, so sometimes I like to speak it out loud.{S}
 Ruck does not deserve good memories.{S}
 Y-you will not make Ruck remember?{S}
 You will let Ruck stay in the darkness?{S}
 I found it first...{S}
 Ruck leaves you to... do whatever it is you do...{S}
 I have done what you wished?{S}
 Do not hurt Ruck!{S}
 Do not hurt Ruck, no!{S}
 Ruck has some things.{S}
 You give him shiny coins, no?{S}
 For you, yes, Ruck has many things.{S}
 He can give them, and you do not even have to give him shiny coins, no?{S}
 The crawlers took almost everything.{S}
 They takes things of steel and things of paper.{S}
 They takes the shinies and the words.{S}
 That sounds like someone was taking notes.{S}
 Do you think Branka camped here?{S}
 They bring to the great nest, the nest they makes for the eggs.{S}
 They puts the shinies inside, they do.{S}
 When the dark ones were here, I kept to the shadows.{S}
 They do not look in the shadows, not if you are quiet.{S}
 Not if you eat their flesh.{S}
 They used to eat the smallest dark ones.{S}
 I do not leave my claim.{S}
 If I do, someone will takes it from me.{S}
 She knows how Ruck feels, she does.{S}
 And too sodding gutless to join the Legion of the Dead.{S}
 Here, I live free.{S}
 At least... at least I am free.{S}
 Sh-she did not know, not what I did.{S}
 Once you eat... once you takes in the darkness... you not miss the light so much.{S}
 You know, do you not?{S}
 I was certain Howe's men had gotten through!{S}
 Dead like bones that turn to dust when you touch them.{S}
 H-how can Ruck serve you with thank yous?{S}
 Here-here, take this.{S}
 Please do not hurt Ruck...{S}
 Ruck not pretty name, not pretty like lady.{S}
 Ummm... yes, Ruck be my name.{S}
 Not to take Ruck's claim, right?{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 Ruck will do what you wants!{S}
 Good friend will not make Ruck remember the light.{S}
 Men have died from drinking it.{S}
 Why would they do that?{S}
 What are you doing down here?{S}
 And how do you propose to eject me?{S}
 I am putting you out of your misery. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 Was this campsite here when you found it?{S}
 Do what I say or I will kill you.{S}
 Do you mean gems?{S}
 I will not take anything.{S}
 So your name is Ruck?{S}
 I think I met your mother.{S}
 Is her name Filda?{S}
 How did you end up here?{S}
 She asked me to find you.{S}
 And now I put you out of your misery. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 Yes, you did fine.{S}
 Do you have anything to trade?{S}
 I have a few questions for you, Ruck.{S}
 Did you find anything unusual at this camp?{S}
 How did you survive here?{S}
 Do you know where the "dark ones" went?{S}
 Do you know?{S}
 When did you arrive here?{S}
 Do not you wish to return to Orzammar?{S}
 I do not understand how you live like this.{S}
 You are free, but at what price?{S}
 You have to tell your mother you are alive.{S}
 I just want to know if you have anything to trade.{S}
 I just have some questions.{S}
 D-do not talk of Branka, of what she did.{S}
 I was her captain and I did not stop her.{S}
 Not for what she did.{S}
 Not for what she has become.{S}
 Of course, if I knew she had those interests, I could've made some adjustments!{S}
 The Stone has punished me, dream-friend.{S}
 They took Laryn.{S}
 They made her eat the others, our friends.{S}
 And while she ate, she grew.{S}
 Then she made more of them.{S}
 That is why they hate us... that is why they need us.{S}
 That is why they take us... that is why they feed us.{S}
 They want to touch, to mold, to change until you are filled with them....{S}
 Do not leave me here!{S}
 Do not let them take me!{S}
 I would rather die than bring that with me, than have... her... see me like this.{S}
 What did she do, Hespith?{S}
 What did Branka do? <act>Examine her closely.</act>{S}
 You have been forced to eat your kin? <desc>The Anvil glows like liquid metal from the lyrium veined through it, but dark stains attest to its bloody past.</desc> <desc>It is built straight out of the stone of the floor.{S}
 Trying to move it would require years to chip away at its base.</desc>{S}
 It figures you would eventually find your way here.{S}
 Hopefully, you can find your way back more easily.{S}
 I suppose something serious has happened.{S}
 You must have a patron.{S}
 At best, Oghren's need to find me happened to coincide with the needs of someone more important. <desc>Arrrgh!</desc> You are <emp>impossible!</emp> This Grey Warden's come all the way from the surface to ask your help picking Endrin's successor.{S}
 You are... seeking my support?{S}
 Not surprising he is done so well for himself.{S}
 Let me be blunt with you.{S}
 That does not bother you, I hope.{S}
 I do not care if the Assembly puts a drunken monkey on the throne.{S}
 Because our protector, our great invention, the thing that once made our armies the envy of the world, is lost to the very darkspawn it should be fighting.{S}
 Harrowmont could have been pulled dead from his mother's womb and history would read no differently.{S}
 The means by which the ancients forged their army of golems and held off the first archdemon ever to rise.{S}
 My people and I have given body and soul to unlocking its secrets.{S}
 If you wish me to get involved with this imbecilic election, I must first have the Anvil.{S}
 I did not say I could not reach it, simply that I have not <emp>yet</emp>.{S}
 I will not give up.{S}
 His legacy lies just inside, the sum of all his knowledge, and I <emp>will</emp> have it. <emp>This</emp> is what is important. <emp>This</emp> has lasting meaning.{S}
 I have given up everything and would sacrifice <emp>anything</emp> to get the Anvil of the Void.{S}
 Insufferable blowhard who is never had one memorable moment in his tradition-bound life.{S}
 You are... seeking my support?{S}
 You wish to succeed Endrin and become a ruling queen?{S}
 It makes people despair.{S}
 They were all mine, pledged to be my house, and they did not want to help.{S}
 They tried to leave me, even my Hespith....{S}
 Perhaps you will do better than my poor clansmen.{S}
 I needed people to test Caridin's traps.{S}
 They could still serve me, let me find the Anvil.{S}
 You have no idea how they carried on, holding my hand and begging to die.{S}
 They had pledged me their <emp>loyalty!</emp> They had no right to fight me.{S}
 What has this place done to you?!{S}
 I remember marrying a girl you could talk to for one minute and see her brilliance.{S}
 She should not have gone.{S}
 She swore she would do whatever it took to find the Anvil.{S}
 But even she could not understand that when you reach for greatness, there are sacrifices.{S}
 As many sacrifices as are needed.{S}
 You found the Anvil.{S}
 Aye, I should have known.{S}
 I thought that once you had the Anvil you would be satisfied....{S}
 Perhaps I could use it now... a reward for defeating Caridin.{S}
 Or have you set your sights higher than the petty kings of Orzammar?{S}
 Do not get all high and mighty now.{S}
 I will make you the crown.{S}
 Take it to Orzammar and dispose of it as you will.{S}
 Believe me, I appreciate the thought, but it will take me a while to master all the techniques without Caridin's example.{S}
 Why do not we go with the crown for now?{S}
 Once Orzammar settles on its petty king, have him send for me.{S}
 Take it to whomever you please.{S}
 It will take me some time to fully realize the mysteries here.{S}
 It wants to be used again.{S}
 I have heard them for two years, just beyond the tunnel, speaking to me....{S}
 Did you hear what Caridin said?{S}
 You are trying to take the Anvil from me.{S}
 H-he must have been wrong.{S}
 The voices... they have been calling me for so long, and I did not even....{S}
 Ahhh, Hespith tried to tell me, but I would not listen.{S}
 You have to make this right.{S}
 The Branka I knew would do what is right.{S}
 It is the Anvil, calling to be used....{S}
 When next you lead your armies against the archdemon, they will be shielded by a tide of steel men.{S}
 I hope this makes you happy, Branka.{S}
 I do not think you understand what it cost to get you here.{S}
 Find a few whores.{S}
 His chosen successor, Harrowmont, seeks your support.{S}
 His heir, Bhelen, seeks your support to become king.{S}
 How do you know I am not just helping Oghren?{S}
 Harrowmont would work to restore Orzammar's glory.{S}
 Sounds like you could use some help.{S}
 I want you to destroy the Anvil once you have made my crown.{S}
 All I want is for you to see how wrong you have been.{S}
 Make me a golem; I volunteer Oghren's soul.{S}
 Something like the steel you are wearing would be nice.{S}
 You can not keep using it.{S}
 My name is Caridin.{S}
 Once, longer ago than I care to think, I was a Paragon to the dwarves of Orzammar.{S}
 Though I made many things in my time, I rose to fame and earned my status based on a single item: the Anvil of the Void.{S}
 It allowed me to forge a man of steel or stone, as flexible and clever as any soldier.{S}
 If you seek the Anvil, then you must care about my story, or be doomed to relive it.{S}
 No mere smith, however skilled, has the power to create life.{S}
 To make my golems live, I had to take their lives from elsewhere.{S}
 It was an option I could offer warriors who would volunteer to defend their homeland.{S}
 And some took it.{S}
 He began to force men... casteless and criminals... his political enemies... all of them were to be given to the anvil.{S}
 No one will take it from me!{S}
 Do not let it enslave more souls than it already has!{S}
 But she does not understand its danger.{S}
 If the Anvil is not destroyed, you condemn hundreds of living souls to continue in agony for another thousand years.{S}
 Your people on the surface believe that some magics are never worth the price of their use.{S}
 How would you feel to know you have been torn from all the spirits that had come before you, that you would never rest with the ancestors?{S}
 Do not listen!{S}
 Help me claim the Anvil, and you will have an army like you have never seen!{S}
 I cannot allow you to do this.{S}
 I cannot allow you to do this, stranger.{S}
 The Anvil will let us take back our glory!{S}
 You will not take it!{S}
 Do not throw your life away for this!{S}
 We had an agreement.{S}
 I am the one you came here to find, not him!{S}
 Does this thing mean so much to you that you can not even see what you have lost to get it?{S}
 As long as the Anvil exists, it may be used to create slaves.{S}
 And it <emp>will</emp> be used.{S}
 Why seek a more difficult path when another, easier path is available?{S}
 It took feeling the hammer's blow myself to realize the height of my crimes.{S}
 Originally I only took volunteers, the bravest of souls willing to trade their very lives for the chance to defend their homeland.{S}
 I wish no mention of it had made it into history.{S}
 But at least it ends here.{S}
 A final favor before I am freed from my burden?{S}
 For the aid you have given me, I shall put hammer to steel one last time, and give you a crown for the king of your choice.{S}
 It is done.{S}
 Give it to whom you will.{S}
 I do not wish to hear their names, nor anything more of them.{S}
 I have already lived far beyond my time.{S}
 I have no place here.{S}
 You have my eternal thanks, stranger.{S}
 Atrast nal tunsha... may you always find your way in the dark.{S}
 Why should I let your guilt inconvenience me?{S}
 It is too powerful not to keep.{S}
 The Anvil is needed.{S}
 Branka can use it to help me against the Blight.{S}
 I will help if you support a new king.{S}
 Orzammar could use it!{S}
 I need a Paragon's support to settle an election.{S}
 I do not suppose you would make another golem?{S}
 Surfacers have no sense of history.{S}
 I am even named for the house--Orta.{S}
 I spent my life at the bottom of the Warrior Caste.{S}
 I am worthless as a fighter and I refuse to marry up as some old veteran's second wife.{S}
 I would have my own house, a seat in the Assembly.{S}
 Well, I will just keep searching.{S}
 It is not like I have anything better to do.{S}
 You can not go into the Deep Roads and find some lost thaig by yourself.{S}
 Mother always said that if anyone could find the thaig, it was the Wardens.{S}
 If you can find the thaig, and any records, that could do it.{S}
 That could prove I am a noble!{S}
 And I do not know what treasure is left, but whatever I get, you can have as much as you want.{S}
 What do you know about fighting darkspawn?{S}
 What do you know about fighting darkspawn?{S}
 Did... you find anything while you were there?{S}
 If you can prove it belongs to me, I would be happy to share whatever is left of the Ortan fortune.{S}
 Whatever you do, I would be grateful.{S}
 I guess you did not find what you are looking for.{S}
 My name's Orta.{S}
 So, did you... uh, find anything?{S}
 Otherwise, you need special permission from the Assembly or some great lord.{S}
 I hear Prince Bhelen and Lord Harrowmont have both been sending out small teams these days.{S}
 If there are any records proving I am the heir to the lost House Ortan, they are probably buried in the ruined Ortan Thaig.{S}
 If you could recover them, it would prove I am a member of a great lineage.{S}
 I-I started to worry.{S}
 I did not know if you were ever coming back.{S}
 Did you find any records?{S}
 And you could not have explored the whole thing.{S}
 I will have to find someone willing to look, maybe a whole expedition.{S}
 If the thaig is still there, it must have something!{S}
 You... you found them?!{S}
 Let me see...{S}
 That is my great-grandmother's name!{S}
 I have to take these to the Assembly right away!{S}
 Find me there.{S}
 Once these are acknowledged, I will give you any reward!{S}
 They gave our seat back, and the records show which houses still owe House Ortan money.{S}
 Did not that sound official?{S}
 They are opening rooms for us on the old Ortan estate!{S}
 Do you mean these records?{S}
 I could try to find them.{S}
 Do you want my help or not?{S}
 I already have permission to enter the Deep Roads.{S}
 What was it you were doing here?{S}
 I have the records right here.{S}
 Just continue supporting King Bhelen.{S}
 Just continue supporting King Harrowmont.{S}
 Your presence here has been recorded in the Memories.{S}
 I wish I knew what significance it has.{S}
 Or perhaps because a certain returned surfacer has spread his fervor to you...{S}
 So far, the world has done quite well without your Maker.{S}
 While I do not appreciate your tone, I <emp>have</emp> considered that point.{S}
 Perhaps we will allow Brother Burkel his prayer meeting... as a show of diplomatic good faith.{S}
 But Orzammar is more than capable of caring for its own.{S}
 What sort of charities do you mean?{S}
 He may hold a prayer meeting as he requested, if not build a new temple to his god.{S}
 Have you grown so fond of the surfacers' ways in your brief absence?{S}
 But these are not the deals we approved at the Shaperate.{S}
 If you wish, you can make your words as false as the documents you bear.{S}
 There were two promised deals, but their terms differed significantly from what is presented here.{S}
 It appears the scripter altered the dates and locations of the agreements to make them identical.{S}
 Her brother died, leaving her father heirless, so the Assembly granted him a new family name and allowed him to adopt his daughter's children as heirs.{S}
 The Shaperate do not vote.{S}
 I told him Bemot made many changes during his rule.{S}
 The Grey Warden's visit has been recorded in the Memories, along with all who accompany you.{S}
 We must all obey the ancestors' rules.{S}
 We have preserved in lyrium all of the records of dwarven history.{S}
 The Memories record all--they are how we know to which family a child owes life, how we trace lost thaigs.{S}
 Its members are casteless and do not exist.{S}
 They are venerated as living ancestors and found a new noble house forever bearing their name.{S}
 Before she had seen twenty years, she created a smokeless coal.{S}
 She went into the Deep Roads two years ago seeking out secrets of the ancient smiths.{S}
 The youngest, Bloadlikk, was the wisest and was chosen king.{S}
 On his recovery, he swore to serve his brother's sons.{S}
 In Orzammar, they do not exist.{S}
 They should not have been born.{S}
 Their parents defied their shame and brought cursed children into the world.{S}
 Our beliefs have kept us through four Blights and countless kings.{S}
 I can speak with you as a Warden, but I cannot discuss your belief that you have previously been to Orzammar.{S}
 We traded with your Tevinter Imperium, and our lands stretched as far in the Deep Roads as theirs did above.{S}
 If you find anything significant to us, we would pay you well for your finds.{S}
 During the last Blight, the kings of Orzammar knew they could not hold everything.{S}
 We have only a few dozen left in Orzammar, and I do not recognize this one.{S}
 Perhaps the books here can make up for the lack of attention you paid your elders.{S}
 Impressive work, Warden.{S}
 King Harrowmont's impending coronation has been entered into the Memories.{S}
 You do not know me nearly as well as I know you.{S}
 King Bhelen's ascent to his father's throne has been recorded in the Memories.{S}
 I would like your permission to open a Chantry here.{S}
 I ask only because it is the right thing to do.{S}
 One of Orzammar's own has returned to spread the Chant.{S}
 The Chantry could provide work for the casteless.{S}
 What harm would it do to let him preach?{S}
 Vartag Gavorn gave them to me.{S}
 Let us talk about something else.{S}
 I need to have words with someone...{S}
 How did the caste system come to be?{S}
 I will keep an eye out.{S}
 Enough history, let us talk basic Orzammar again.{S}
 What does the shaper of memories do?{S}
 I already told the proving master I withdrew.{S}
 Do you have to keep harassing me?{S}
 Um, if you were not looking for me, do me a favor and pretend I never said anything.{S}
 So I take it you <emp>were not</emp> sent here to find out if I withdrew from the Proving...{S}
 I know it hurt my cousin and I-I do not mean anything personal.{S}
 I try to live by the Paragons' examples, but... it is not always easy.{S}
 I have done things I am not proud of.{S}
 Do not think there is anything you can say to shame me that I haven't already told myself.{S}
 Oh, do not put it that way.{S}
 Look, it is just, when I was younger, I had a thing with this Aeducan girl: Revelka.{S}
 Her family wanted her marrying up, so they matched her with a Bemot.{S}
 But... we did not exactly stop seeing each other.{S}
 She is married to a deshyr's heir.{S}
 So I have to slink out of here like some worthless brand for fear Bhelen will tell the whole city.{S}
 I appreciate the thought, but they really have me over a shaft, here.{S}
 You would do that?{S}
 I do not know how to thank you...{S}
 I know it is my own fault, but I would have married her if I could.{S}
 If you can make sure that evidence does not get out, I would be happy to fight in the Proving.{S}
 But you need to find them quickly--registrations close once the first bout starts.{S}
 Bhelen's fighter Myaja has the letters.{S}
 If you make sure she never shows them to anyone, I will fight for Harrowmont again.{S}
 One of his fighters, a woman named Myaja.{S}
 They have letters--love letters Revelka wrote me.{S}
 If they were made public, she would be disgraced.{S}
 And I would be lucky to be allowed to die in a duel.{S}
 She is married to a prominent deshyr's heir.{S}
 Do you know what that is like?{S}
 Now Bhelen found out and I can not even help my cousin for fear he will tell her husband.{S}
 I left the Proving on my own business, and I have no intention of discussing it.{S}
 How do you know who I am?{S}
 I am leaving the Proving.{S}
 But it is pretty obvious who you are working for.{S}
 You are working for <emp>Harrowmont</emp>?{S}
 Look, best of luck to you, but I really need to leave.{S}
 What more do you want?{S}
 The Proving's almost starting.{S}
 I should leave if you haven't found anything. <desc>Sigh</desc> I figured you would say that.{S}
 If you want me to register, you will have to hurry.{S}
 Bhelen's fighter, Myaja, has love letters that would prove I am having an affair with a married woman--an Aeducan at that.{S}
 If you get those letters for me, I can enter the Proving again.{S}
 You have them?{S}
 If you can keep those letters from the public eye, I would gladly gift you with a finder's fee.{S}
 When you offered to help me, you had another reward in mind.{S}
 I will give you ten sovereigns to show my gratitude in a way you understand, and then I will sign up for the Proving, which is what you asked.{S}
 I wish you could see the true value of what you have done.{S}
 Now pardon me, there is little time left to rejoin the Proving.{S}
 Where did you get those?{S}
 No, no, no, no, I-I do not want to know.{S}
 My cousin was wise to choose you.{S}
 The ancestors did not favor us, but I will always be grateful for what you did.{S}
 The palace sent a missive that my cousin is "disappointed by my lack of support."{S}
 I guess our efforts paid off.{S}
 My cousin asked me to help lead his army.{S}
 For my "admirable taste in not supporting my cousin's rebellion," I will not be among those executed.{S}
 Not if you take that attitude.{S}
 Who do you think I am working for?{S}
 I will win this Proving on my own!{S}
 Dulin Forender wants me to find out why you are not fighting.{S}
 And now Bhelen's found out?{S}
 The Proving's better off without you.{S}
 I can get those letters back.{S}
 Did Bhelen threaten you himself?{S}
 What evidence does she have?{S}
 What evidence does Bhelen have?{S}
 Did someone make you drop out of the Proving?{S}
 What are you trying to hide?{S}
 I have never seen you before in my life.{S}
 Let me go look for those.{S}
 Just enter the Proving.{S}
 I will take fifteen.{S}
 That will do nicely.{S}
 I have your letters right here.{S}
 Then you will fight in the Proving?{S}
 If he gets a scratch, it is their lives.{S}
 They would take on anyone rather than face him.{S}
 I fought a Proving here ten years ago to let the ancestors decide my innocence.{S}
 I have got the right to call another on anyone who falsely accuses me now.{S}
 How the sod did you do that?{S}
 A surfacer's got no place fighting here.{S}
 I am gonna take first in the inaugural Glory Proving.{S}
 I am going to teach you to scream.{S}
 Let us get to the ring.{S}
 Far be it from me to tell you your business, but you might want to take a closer look before you jump into local politics.{S}
 The Stone keep you and all that.{S}
 I would never speak ill of Lord Harrowmont, but things get more complicated when you mix in politics.{S}
 Resign and let Harrowmont fight his own battles.{S}
 I have fought for House Harrowmont in the Deep Roads for twenty years and will again.{S}
 I do not regret a minute of that service.{S}
 But it is my family's job to protect this city, not get caught up in political games better left to the Noble Caste.{S}
 Name's Gwiddon, and I just tendered my resignation.{S}
 Somehow, I do not think the ancestors will favor me today.{S}
 Stone keep you.{S}
 I bet he did.{S}
 Well, you can just tell him I had my reasons.{S}
 Look, I am not in the habit of getting confessional, but they say you Wardens are discreet.{S}
 I heard from a reliable source Lord Harrowmont's already given up the throne.{S}
 Bhelen called this whole Proving to let his Lordship save face when he concedes.{S}
 And where did you hear this that is more reliable than a member of the Assembly?{S}
 I-I did not recognize you.{S}
 I mean, now it is obvious but--you have the look of your father... but who would watch for such a thing?{S}
 Do you truly mean Lord Harrowmont wants the throne?{S}
 And you will help him take it?{S}
 Then I can do no less.{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 You seem sincere and I wish you luck, but if you are wrong, you do not have to live in the consequences.{S}
 I suppose there is nothing his Lordship would do without consulting Dulin.{S}
 I have always tried to stay out of these noble politics...{S}
 If I find out this whole thing was some flunky of Bhelen's lying to me for his own gain, I will...{S}
 I owe Lord Harrowmont more than that.{S}
 It lets Harrowmont save face by bowing to the ancestors' decision when he loses.{S}
 But how do you think it looks for the men who support him?{S}
 I would back Harrowmont as he asked, but if he is giving up, I will not sacrifice my family so he can retire with dignity.{S}
 I do not remember seeing you before.{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 They have kept all casteless off the grounds since that Grey Warden fiasco.{S}
 You looking for someone, or are you going to take my advice and head home?{S}
 I am sorry I had to sit it out.{S}
 I am reporting to the palace to prepare my troops for our first surface assault.{S}
 I knew Bhelen would take the crown.{S}
 What are you trying to say?{S}
 Why did you resign?{S}
 So are you still going to sit out the Proving?{S}
 Get back in the Proving and knock some heads?{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Harrowmont is still in, and I have agreed to champion him.{S}
 You do not get out much.{S}
 Got your head in the sand?{S}
 Do not take it personally.{S}
 She does not talk to anyone.{S}
 I serve as Hanashan's trainer and translator.{S}
 As you might imagine, she requires my services for more... mundane tasks.{S}
 When no one listened to her words, Astyth cut out her tongue and dedicated herself to training, until she won a Grand Proving bare-handed.{S}
 The women who join her order cut out their tongues in her honor.{S}
 The Silent Sisters support the sitting king.{S}
 Then you have lost.{S}
 Even in the ring, every man and woman brings an army if people support them.{S}
 But she who fights without cause is only training.{S}
 May the ancestors choose their champion wisely.{S}
 When a Silent Sister fights, she does not do it with words.{S}
 If you would back up your claims, enter the Proving.{S}
 Do you not know of Astyth the Grey, the original woman warrior?{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 Then I will go find a more friendly reception elsewhere.{S}
 You want to talk, enter the Proving.{S}
 Proving master said the Warden wants to show off his surface-fighting skills.{S}
 I guess we will have to show what kind of tricks we learn in Orzammar...{S}
 It is illegal to threaten Proving fighters outside the ring.{S}
 Not helping them keep their dirty secrets, though... that is another story.{S}
 I bet you would.{S}
 As long as someone can find out.{S}
 You have obviously been away too long.{S}
 But we do not like to share.{S}
 The ancestors gave us one soul, but two bodies.{S}
 Everything we do, we do together.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 That is a little personal, do not you think?{S}
 Unless you want to find out?{S}
 Proving master said the Warden wanted to test her skills.{S}
 We are not giving anything more away.{S}
 So do not even try.{S}
 So did Lucjan.{S}
 Do not feel bad.{S}
 I hear you have been threatening Harrowmont's fighters.{S}
 It is a private matter.{S}
 Do you know anything about the other fighters?{S}
 You two keep complimenting each other.{S}
 That does not seem very fair.{S}
 So, you are the Grey Warden Lord Harrowmont brought in to replace his missing fighters.{S}
 If you are trying to insult me with my loyalty to my House, you will find it is a tough road to hew.{S}
 You haven't said you are championing Harrowmont, but it is obvious Bhelen did not send you.{S}
 I have been watching you, and I must say; I am not impressed.{S}
 I have no doubt I could beat you.{S}
 Of course, you will never make it that far.{S}
 I am surprised you made it this far.{S}
 The Aeducans have held the throne for nine generations.{S}
 The Assembly should have turned to every last member of our line before handing Orzammar over to some lesser family.{S}
 The ancestors will prove me right in the ring.{S}
 Well, I guess I can not call you "cousin," since the family renounced you and you are supporting the usurper.{S}
 You could never support Bhelen after what he accused you of, and everyone knows Harrowmont was the first to defend you.{S}
 But if I am wrong, you can prove it easily.{S}
 Do not fight me in the ring.{S}
 You will learn nothing more here to bring to your master.{S}
 The Assembly knows better than to base its vote on one Proving.{S}
 The ancestors favored you for a time, but true virtue won in the end.{S}
 I fight in my own name!{S}
 I haven't decided who I support.{S}
 I do not understand those Silent Sisters.{S}
 They say Piotin Aeducan's going to lead an army to the surface.{S}
 Welcome to the Proving arena.{S}
 We are still closed until the fighters make their preparations, but come back this afternoon if you want to watch the show.{S}
 I forget you surfacers do things so differently.{S}
 The Provings are where the best fighters in Orzammar prove their worth and the worth of their houses.{S}
 Provings can also settle matters of honor.{S}
 This Proving will honor King Endrin's memory.{S}
 Prince Bhelen called a city-wide Proving this afternoon to honor King Endrin's memory.{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 Did the Grey Wardens realize what a poor choice they made?{S}
 I suppose you are here about the Proving Prince Bhelen called to honor Endrin's passing.{S}
 Prince Bhelen called a Proving in his father's honor.{S}
 It begins this afternoon, and yes, as a Grey Warden, you cannot be barred from entering.{S}
 Come back when we open if you wish to repeat your dubious triumph.{S}
 You have graced this arena so often I could never forget your face.{S}
 What brings you back here?{S}
 It starts this afternoon.{S}
 Then I will not take another moment of your time.{S}
 If you are looking to pay your respects, though, your brother called a Proving to honor your father's memory.{S}
 Would you like to take part?{S}
 We are opening the roster in a few hours.{S}
 The Proving will begin shortly.{S}
 I am sure you can find a place in the stands.{S}
 Or were you here to take part in the fight?{S}
 You have got a little time, then.{S}
 We will not be starting until everyone's ready.{S}
 Do not wait too long.{S}
 The Proving will begin as soon as everyone's ready.{S}
 Piotin Aeducan always leads a battle unit; he is the prince's cousin.{S}
 They fight together, put on a good show.{S}
 Let me just put you into the schedule, here...{S}
 Now, is there a particular name you wish listed?{S}
 We will just call you "Grey Warden," seeing as those human names are a real burr to pronounce.{S}
 We actually have an opening in the first round.{S}
 Are you ready to start?{S}
 Fights start at the gong and go to first blood.{S}
 The rules of each bout will be announced when it starts.{S}
 I will warn you, though: This is your last chance to make preparations or meet the competition.{S}
 Once the fights begin, there are no new additions to the roster.{S}
 All withdrawals are treated as losses and a sign of the ancestors' disfavor.{S}
 Do you want to start, or would you like some time?{S}
 I will just call you "Grey Warden," since those elven names are such a mouthful.{S}
 I do not know if that is such a good idea.{S}
 Never thought the Grey Wardens would take an interest in our king.{S}
 That will do him more good than a name.{S}
 The crowd's getting restless.{S}
 I guess I should have seen that coming.{S}
 Now you have to worm your way into the highest ranks of society?{S}
 What are you doing back?{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 What are you doing back here?{S}
 Did the Wardens realize their mistake and throw you back?{S}
 Did you wish to fight in the Proving today?{S}
 I was about to start looking for you.{S}
 Remember, once the fight begins, the roster is final.{S}
 As twins, they have always been allowed to fight as a single person.{S}
 And do not forget Lucjan.{S}
 Most fighters do... and end up with his knife in their spine.{S}
 Are you ready to begin?{S}
 Pick a partner, because this will be paired combat against Darvianak and his second, Olaniv.{S}
 He fought to prove his innocence.{S}
 When the ancestors cleared him, he went on to be a four-time Grand Proving champion.{S}
 He makes it a point never to use the same technique twice.{S}
 Piotin Aeducan leads the same team he is taken to victory in over a dozen Deep Roads expeditions.{S}
 Come back when you have picked your team.{S}
 May the ancestors choose wisely.{S}
 This is a Glory Proving, fought under the eyes of the Paragons of Orzammar to honor the memory of King Endrin.{S}
 Many of you remember when Seweryn made history as a lad of twelve by defeating his own father in this very ring.{S}
 In the name of House Aeducan and our future King Bhelen!{S}
 Opposing him in Lord Harrowmont's name is a member of the famed Grey Wardens!{S}
 This round, Harrowmont's champion takes on the notorious duo, the Warrior Caste's twin terrors, now fighting for Prince Bhelen--Myaja and Lucjan!{S}
 So far, the Grey Warden has won the field, but victory is far from assured.{S}
 Will he find valos atredum and defeat the Grey Warden?{S}
 It does me great honor to face you, Warden.{S}
 Harrowmont's champion has held the field so far, but how will he do against one of the legendary Silent Sisters?{S}
 We will find out as the Warden faces Lady Hanashan, who proved her worth to Paragon Astyth the Grey by cutting out her own tongue.{S}
 And to our Prince Bhelen by fighting in his name.{S}
 But can she hold out against the Paragons' own favorites, the Silent Sisters?{S}
 Just as Kiotshett fought as King Bloadlikk's second defending our empire, so have dwarves always fought alongside a second.{S}
 Grey Warden, choose your second, for now you face Lord Darvianak Vollney and Olaniv!{S}
 Master of all weapons, prisoner of none, Wojech Ivo has never won the same way twice.{S}
 What will he do today, lords and ladies, and will it win the day for Prince Bhelen?{S}
 Grey Warden, choose your second, for you face Wojech Ivo and Velanz.{S}
 Fighting for his royal cousin Bhelen, Piotin Aeducan has led his team to triumph over every unit so far.{S}
 Each will lead a full unit of four soldiers, to see once and for all whom the ancestors favor.{S}
 You should not have returned, exile.{S}
 Challenging him on behalf of Lord Harrowmont, the Grey Warden has risen from nothing to stand at the competition's summit.{S}
 That was an exciting start, Warden.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Two on one and you took them both them easily.{S}
 I never would have guessed you could triumph over Captain Roshen.{S}
 The Silent Sisters' support was a great boost for Bhelen.{S}
 You prove yourself a master of paired combat, Warden.{S}
 Wojech Ivo is one of the best this arena has seen, Warden.{S}
 Harrowmont picked wisely.{S}
 Do any deny this Grey Warden has earned the championship?{S}
 Then, I am pleased to announce the Grey Warden as the winner of this memorial Proving, the favorite of the ancestors!{S}
 The ancestors have spoken.{S}
 Then, it is my honor to declare this Grey Warden champion of the Proving, who has shown that the ancestors favor Lord Harrowmont!{S}
 It was a noble try, Warden.{S}
 It seems your uncanny luck still holds.{S}
 Piotin Aeducan leads his team.{S}
 Gwiddon left the ring on his own two feet while Seweryn had to be carried out!{S}
 After crushing newcomer Karine Bemot, Prince Bhelen's sworn champion, Wojech Ivo, takes on four-time champion Gwiddon!{S}
 Opposing him in Prince Bhelen's name is Hanashan, of the legendary Silent Sisters.{S}
 Contestants, take your places.{S}
 Harrowmont must be cursing himself to have lost such a champion.{S}
 What is a Proving?{S}
 And there is a Proving happening today?{S}
 I am a Grey Warden, seeking Orzammar's aid against a Blight.{S}
 How do I sign up?{S}
 I have a few things I want to do, first.{S}
 What are the rules of the Proving?{S}
 You know my name perfectly well.{S}
 I am just here to watch the Proving.{S}
 I would like to sign up for the Proving.{S}
 I want to sign up for the Proving.{S}
 Give me a little time to prepare.{S}
 And I am ready to give it to them.{S}
 Let us get to the hurting.{S}
 Get ready to eat those words.{S}
 Prepare for a slaughter.{S}
 I have no second.{S}
 I choose Zevran, of the Antivan Crows.{S}
 I choose the enchanter Wynne.{S}
 I choose Sten, of the qunari.{S}
 I choose Leliana.{S}
 I choose the sorceress Morrigan.{S}
 I choose Alistair of the Grey Wardens.{S}
 In support of Harrowmont, I choose Baizyl as my second.{S}
 Baizyl, Gwiddon, join me for this triumph.{S}
 As my victory will prove.{S}
 Are we done, then?{S}
 Because I could use a drink.{S}
 May he rule forever.{S}
 May the Assembly heed the ancestors and choose Harrowmont.{S}
 Do not disturb me.{S}
 You did me honor, Warden.{S}
 I do not talk to admirers until after the fight.{S}
 Did not I say I need to concentrate?{S}
 I have fought most of them before, of course.{S}
 I learned the hard way Lucjan is the one you have to watch out for.{S}
 When Myaja gets all flashy with that hammer, you never see Lucjan stab you in the back.{S}
 I have never qualified to fight anyone of his rank before.{S}
 The proving master announces it every time...{S}
 They say on the surface, they are the only ones who fight darkspawn and everyone hails them as heroes, and--are you taking recruits?{S}
 Then that <emp>must</emp> mean you want recruits!{S}
 I bet you are here to pick the best fighters!{S}
 I promise: As soon as Bhelen's on the throne, you will have as big an army as you need.{S}
 You do not want to get on Prince Bhelen's bad side.{S}
 Well, uh, maybe you could make a recommendation, to your superiors.{S}
 You will need valos atredum before you take on something like that.{S}
 I will talk with my captain about joining up after the Proving's done.{S}
 I have got no business with Harrowmont's men.{S}
 I have been sick for days.{S}
 You should have seen me last week.{S}
 Uh, let me know when you are recruiting for that army...{S}
 I have my bags all packed.{S}
 Well, excuse me for getting in your way.{S}
 Do you know much about the other fighters?{S}
 I have to go.{S}
 Come with me; I will make you a Warden.{S}
 Actually, I am building an army to fight the next Blight.{S}
 Most people here do not seem to care.{S}
 I do not have the authority.{S}
 Actually, I need dwarven soldiers to help fight the Blight.{S}
 I can not make you a Warden, but you could join our travels.{S}
 He has eleven decapitations so far; he needs just three more for the one-season record.{S}
 I am telling you, Piotin will take the prize.{S}
 You can put gold on it.{S}
 Meet his... are you fighting today?{S}
 Well, it will not matter much given the caliber of folks you are up against.{S}
 I do not remember seeing you in the ring before.{S}
 You fought in the Glory Proving at the princess's commission celebration last year.{S}
 Wait, you fought in the Glory Proving at the prince's commission celebration last year.{S}
 Best upset I have seen in years! <desc>Scoffs</desc> Do I know anything?{S}
 Let me tell you, salroka, if Varick does not know it, it did not happen in this ring.{S}
 Never does the same thing twice.{S}
 They say he commissions a new weapon after every Proving.{S}
 I have seen him take out staves with daggers, axes with shields, and mace-shield-plate combos with double-axes.{S}
 People bet on <emp>how</emp> he wins, not if.{S}
 They always get a good response from the crowd.{S}
 Gets a little dull, eventually.{S}
 They have a nice act going.{S}
 Myaja runs up front with that big hammer, and everyone's heard it is got lyrium veined through it.{S}
 Picked up a sword at twelve and beat his own moron of a father.{S}
 Front row seats at every Grand Proving since my father took me on his shoulders.{S}
 Name's Varick.{S}
 I got a controlling interest in a mine off the old Rousten Thaig.{S}
 But my backers know not to hand me a pick any day there is blood on the stone, if you know what I mean.{S}
 It is announced when the fight begins.{S}
 That is about all the warning anyone gets.{S}
 A Proving is a sacred art.{S}
 Any dispute brought to the Proving ground is settled by the ancestors' decision and no one can protest it.{S}
 You sodding bet!{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 Get over to the ring or they are never going to start the fights!{S}
 I told you Piotin Aeducan would take the favor.{S}
 Well, he is about to meet his match.{S}
 Do you know anything about the fighters?{S}
 Actually, I should get going.{S}
 I was hoping you have seen Wojech Ivo in action.{S}
 What do you know about the Silent Sisters?{S}
 Have you ever seen Roshen?{S}
 Do you know much about the Proving?{S}
 I guess you have watched a lot of Provings, then?{S}
 Have you ever fought in one?{S}
 So the Proving's just a tournament?{S}
 What are the rules?{S}
 So, the Proving's just a tournament?{S}
 Is the Proving just a tournament?{S}
 Actually, I have entered the Proving.{S}
 Get out of here!{S}
 Prince Bhelen will be happy to hear I have flattened you into the dirt.{S}
 Then stand down and let his champions win the ring.{S}
 Watch yourself if you want to make it to the ring...{S}
 I hear you made meat of my little brother.{S}
 Looks like it is time to put the polish back on the Ivo name.{S}
 If Harrowmont has no one to champion him but a nameless exile, how will he find the votes to be king?{S}
 This is not some Glory Proving to celebrate a noble brat's first commission, exile.{S}
 I do not think so, exile.{S}
 I am looking forward to humiliating you, just like my brother did.{S}
 I am working for Bhelen!{S}
 Keep flapping your tongue and I will cut it off for you.{S}
 This Proving's going to Lord Harrowmont.{S}
 I am going to make you eat those words.{S}
 Hold the body!{S}
 Do not let them make off with another one!{S}
 I do not think that is the last of them.{S}
 You have my gratitude.{S}
 What brings you here so fortuitously?{S}
 I have never seen deepstalkers attack like that.{S}
 It is as though something has driven them into a frenzy...{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 These are the terms of a deal we made with Lord Harrowmont, but... the charlatan!{S}
 Thank you for bringing this to my attention.{S}
 I owe you twice now, my life and my house's fortune.{S}
 I can not imagine when we would be traveling in the same circles again, but if so, you can be sure I will keep an eye out for you.{S}
 If you attend any of their stores, you will find them quite obliging to any friend of the Daces.{S}
 I do not think I could in good conscience support such a man.{S}
 We will certainly not support a man who would use my family like that.{S}
 I will tell everyone I know what a wretched trick Harrowmont tried to play.{S}
 I have dealt with Harrowmont many times and he is always been forthright.{S}
 I am not ungrateful for your assistance, but I hope you have some evidence to back such an accusation.{S}
 He would do anything to win the throne for Bhelen.{S}
 I will not have my house enter a deal unless it is to our advantage.{S}
 Thank you for bringing this to my attention.{S}
 My men need healing and I want to look into this.{S}
 Do you wish to travel with us?{S}
 Then let us reach Orzammar before more beasts find our scent.{S}
 And why would I do that?{S}
 I have nothing but respect for Harrowmont and he for me.{S}
 You have certainly come a long way to find me.{S}
 So how does an elf come to be down here, anyway?{S}
 So what is a human doing out here, anyway?{S}
 Another generation of Aeducans takes the throne.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont is trying to cheat your family.{S}
 Vartag Gavorn gave me these promissory notes.{S}
 I brought these promissory notes.{S}
 Good-looking mabari you have there.{S}
 A dog such as this is not meant to be pampered and made fat on honey and sweetmeats.{S}
 Yes, his name is <DogName/>.{S}
 I am grateful that he chose me.{S}
 He is only here because I could not get rid of him.{S}
 She does not deserve you, my noble friend, and yet you stay by her side.{S}
 He does not deserve you, my noble friend, and yet you stay by his side.{S}
 Whoever you are, we have nothing more to say to each other.{S}
 I was chosen by a mabari myself, years ago.{S}
 We laid down our lives for the king, and for freedom, and my beloved Valder paid the ultimate price.{S}
 You could have gotten another mabari.{S}
 What do you mean nothing was the same?{S}
 No other mabari could have taken his place.{S}
 And were I but ten years younger, I would fight... but my time has past.{S}
 Ferelden needs her fighting men.{S}
 Wait a moment... perhaps there is something I can do to help.{S}
 The paint we use to create patterns on the fur of the mabari?{S}
 Ah, we did not need you anyway.{S}
 Yes, I do.{S}
 No, I do not need anything from you.{S}
 I will stay here for a time, if you need my help, but I should be on my way soon.{S}
 The storm is coming. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Why, it just so happens that I find you... quite warm.{S}
 But whatever shall we do in that tiny little space together while we wait for it to warm?{S}
 Have it your way, then, and sleep on your own.{S}
 You cannot blame one for trying, can you?{S}
 Then let us waste no more time with foolish talk.{S}
 You will have to forgive me if I do not leap at your command like a trained warhound!{S}
 I do not wish to discuss it.{S}
 The moment I begin to act the lover or the wife is the exact moment we need to end this charade.{S}
 Allow me to spare you such pains in the future, then, for both our sakes.{S}
 Simply because I have warmed your bedroll before does not mean I am beholden to do so at every snap of your fingers!{S}
 Let me think...{S}
 You will have to carry me!{S}
 You will make Alistair blush.{S}
 Oh, whatever shall I do?{S}
 Shall I take that as a proposition?{S}
 Let us hope your other efforts are more... drawn out.{S}
 I suspect you spend your nights chuckling merrily away to yourself.{S}
 "Tawdry?" <desc>Chuckles</desc> So you have another reason to invite me to your tent?{S}
 But... have it your way.{S}
 Sleep alone in the chill night air, if it pleases you to do so.{S}
 For what reason, then, shall I join you in your tent?{S}
 Have you... something to show me, hmm?{S}
 Let us make certain we do not burn it down, then, shall we?{S}
 I am evil and I need to be punished.{S}
 Games are so fun to play, are they not?{S}
 Is there anything at all in your tent I would find interesting?{S}
 Let us start there and... work our way down.{S}
 And ending with you, I imagine? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Another time, perhaps.{S}
 Then why do you keep asking?{S}
 What do you want me to do about it?{S}
 Let us see this tent of yours, then.{S}
 I think you will find me quite cold.{S}
 Morrigan, I... do not know about this...{S}
 I do not like you much?{S}
 Well we can not have that.{S}
 I would not do that to Leliana.{S}
 I do not expect you to leap at my command.{S}
 Maybe you would prefer we ended this, then.{S}
 It is too soon, I take it?{S}
 Get in the tent, woman.{S}
 Er... no, I did not mean anything tawdry.{S}
 I was thinking we could hold hands and recite the Chant.{S}
 Such as my lips, to start.{S}
 Are you playing hard to get?{S}
 You know, according to all the sisters at the monastery, I should have been struck by lightning by now.{S}
 Lightning first, then the end of civilization as we know it.{S}
 Sure, but if you get hit by the lightning <emp>afterwards</emp> it hardly seems like an effective deterrent.{S}
 Meaning it was so great that the Maker Himself has decided to spare me the usual punishment, right?{S}
 You do realize the rest of our little party here is going to talk, right?{S}
 They do that.{S}
 I will not have to.{S}
 Morrigan will give me "that look," I just know it.{S}
 I would pay to watch that fight.{S}
 Where do we go from here?{S}
 You make me proud.{S}
 All right, I get the hint.{S}
 We have a lot to do, right?{S}
 And we should do it.{S}
 Before we go, have I told you that I love you?{S}
 I did?{S}
 I do not know... this is not an every day thing for me, you know?{S}
 Maybe <emp>you</emp> can take it lightly...{S}
 I can handle that.{S}
 To put it lightly.{S}
 I will live up to my promise, I suppose, but... this is the family I have been wondering about all my life?{S}
 I am sorry I gave her any money at all.{S}
 This is the family I have been wondering about all my life?{S}
 This is the family I have been wondering about all my life?{S}
 Is not that what family is supposed to do?{S}
 The only person who ever cared about me was Duncan.{S}
 I care about you, too.{S}
 I really do.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I wanted something else, I suppose, and I will never get it.{S}
 I guess I should have known better.{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 I do not want to talk about this any more.{S}
 Lead on...{S}
 I want to get as far away from here as possible.{S}
 I thought that you cared about me, for instance, but I was probably wrong about that, too.{S}
 Let us leave.{S}
 I do not want to talk about this with you any more.{S}
 You have linens to wash?{S}
 I charge three bits on the bundle, you will not find better.{S}
 And do not trust what that Natalia woman tells you either, she is foreign and she will rob you blind.{S}
 I am... not here to have any wash done.{S}
 My name's Alistair.{S}
 I am Goldanna, yes... how do you know my name?{S}
 Look, our mother... she worked as a servant in Redcliffe Castle a long time ago, before she died.{S}
 Do you know about that?{S}
 Gave me a coin to shut my mouth and sent me on my way!{S}
 I am sorry, I... did not know that.{S}
 The babe did not die.{S}
 I am him; I am... your brother. <desc>Scoffs</desc> For all the good it does me!{S}
 You killed Mother, you did, and I have had to scrape by all this time?{S}
 That coin did not last long, and when I went back they ran me off!{S}
 And who in the Maker's name are you?{S}
 Some elf to follow him about and carry his riches for him?{S}
 Do not speak to her that way!{S}
 Do not speak to him that way!{S}
 I do not know you, boy.{S}
 Your royal father forced himself on my mother and took her away from me, and what do I got to show for it?{S}
 I should have told everyone!{S}
 I got five mouths to feed, and unless you can help with that, I got less than no use for you.{S}
 I do not know what to say...{S}
 Well... so he is found it.{S}
 But what are you to me, boy, except the one who took my mother away, hmm?{S}
 I did not have the life you think I did, Goldanna.{S}
 But... brother or no, I have got five mouths to feed and no time to spare until they are.{S}
 Well, he found it.{S}
 Well, he is not any brother I did not have before he walked through that door.{S}
 Unless he can make himself useful, he can just walk back on out of it, can not he?{S}
 I do not know why I came...{S}
 I do not know why you came, either, or what you expected to find.{S}
 Now get out of my house, the both of you!{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 Let us just get out of it and leave her alone.{S}
 Let us get out of here.{S}
 I suppose maybe I could give her some money... for my nieces and nephews?{S}
 Would you let me give her that?{S}
 Then here, Goldanna... take this money.{S}
 The bloody king-to-be standing right here in my larder and you are telling me that is all you got to offer?{S}
 You, a prince, marching in here with your fancy armor and such, and this is all you got to offer?{S}
 No, wait, I do not think that at all!{S}
 You go to whatever high-and-mighty folks you run with, and you tell them you have got nephews and nieces that are not living as they have a right to!{S}
 You do that!{S}
 Then let me promise you this, Goldanna: I will do whatever I can, speak to whomever I have to, to ensure you and your children are taken care of.{S}
 That sounds all well and fine, but you will have to forgive me if I do not exactly hold my breath.{S}
 You have my promise.{S}
 I can not give you more than that.{S}
 I... let us go.{S}
 Then I do not know what else we can do.{S}
 I do not think we... really have enough money to spare.{S}
 I wish we did...{S}
 Yes, it really seems that way, does not it?{S}
 I am starting to wonder why I came.{S}
 And who in the Maker's name are you?{S}
 Some dwarf carrying all his riches, I expect?{S}
 And who in the Maker's name are you?{S}
 And who in the Maker's name are you?{S}
 Some servant of his, to carry all his riches, I expect?{S}
 No, do not go!{S}
 Do I seem a little nervous?{S}
 I really do not know what to expect.{S}
 We really do not have time to pay a visit, do we?{S}
 Does she even know I exist?{S}
 Does she even know I exist?{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Let us just... go.{S}
 We have plenty to do, and she... might not even be home, right?{S}
 And what would I have to say to her, anyway?{S}
 Let us simply go.{S}
 It has to be.{S}
 Where did you find it?{S}
 Why are you giving it to me, then?{S}
 Then he must have... found the amulet after I threw it at the wall.{S}
 And he repaired it and kept it?{S}
 I do not understand, why would he do that?{S}
 Maybe he did.{S}
 He might even have brought it with him one of those times he came to see me at the monastery... not that I would have given him a chance, as belligerent as I was to him.{S}
 I will need to talk to him about this.{S}
 I wish I would had this a long time ago.{S}
 I will need to talk to him about this.{S}
 I wish I would had this a long time ago.{S}
 Did you remember me mentioning it?{S}
 I am more used to people not really listening when I go on about things.{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 Is this the part where the music starts and we begin dancing?{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 See this gesture I am making.{S}
 Let us go, then.{S}
 Even if it is not my mother's, it comes from you and I will keep it nonetheless.{S}
 Next I will be getting your smelly old boots and your laundry.{S}
 I... suppose there might have been other amulets like these made, but I have never seen any others.{S}
 Did you buy it?{S}
 It looks just like the one I used to have when I was at Redcliffe.{S}
 I did.{S}
 I really did.{S}
 Truly, I had no idea his shield wasn't with him.{S}
 I do not know how else to express my gratitude.{S}
 This means a great deal to me.{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 What are these darkspawn doing ahead of the rest of the horde?{S}
 At any rate, we need to hurry!{S}
 We need to get up to the top of the tower and light the signal fire in time!{S}
 I need to stay focused.{S}
 Let us get up to the top quickly so we can be ready for the signal.{S}
 You have chosen someone else?{S}
 Because you can not have it both ways?{S}
 Or do you really think that would be all right?{S}
 That is all I really have to say about it.{S}
 I hope he makes you happy.{S}
 Let us get back to it, then.{S}
 We have plenty of other things to keep us busy.{S}
 Not really, but I do not have a lot of choice here, do I?{S}
 We have plenty of other things to keep us busy.{S}
 First I get picked last for the templar sparring teams, and <desc>sigh</desc> now this.{S}
 You know... maybe this is not the best time to be thinking about this, but I have something to ask you.{S}
 Still, we are in Denerim now, and if we get the chance...{S}
 The thing is, I have a sister.{S}
 She was a servant at Redcliffe Castle, and she had a daughter... only I never knew about her.{S}
 I do not think she knew about me, either.{S}
 They kept my birth a secret, after all.{S}
 But after I became a Grey Warden I did some checking and... well, I found out she is still alive.{S}
 She is the only real family I have left, the only family not also mixed up in the whole royal thing.{S}
 I have just been thinking that... maybe it is time I went to see her.{S}
 With the Blight coming and everything, I do not know if I will ever get another chance to see her.{S}
 Maybe I can help her, warn her about the danger, I do not know.{S}
 If I wait, though, and something happens to her, I do not know if I could forgive myself.{S}
 Her name is Goldanna and I think she remarried but still lives just outside the Alienage.{S}
 I do not know anything about her except her name and where she lives.{S}
 If something happened to her and I never went to at least see her, I do not know if I could forgive myself.{S}
 I thought about writing her, but I never did.{S}
 And then we were called down to Ostagar and I never got the chance.{S}
 Do you honestly think I would suggest we go see... together?{S}
 Still, if we are in Denerim and we happen to get the chance...{S}
 Do you mind if I ask?{S}
 You must have an opinion on the smell at the very least.{S}
 Once he is had a bit to drink, however... forget that, there is no 'bit to drink' with him.{S}
 That would just make it worse.{S}
 Morrigan told him exactly what she thought of him and he actually drove her off with a string of expletives I did not even know existed.{S}
 You should have seen it.{S}
 You did not think that big pack he brings with him is full of equipment, did you?{S}
 Dwarven ale has its charms, I suppose.{S}
 I just do not think you need to drink to the point of blindness <emp>every</emp> time.{S}
 Oh, I have no problem with drinking.{S}
 It is the vomiting and yelling and cursing that gets a bit tiresome.{S}
 Well, let us just say that I am not so surprised he is not married any longer.{S}
 Though I suppose the point is that he does lift it.{S}
 He has gusto, I will give him that.{S}
 Do you believe his so-called vow?{S}
 That is a lot to put on a "maybe," is not it?{S}
 The Crows are not known for giving up.{S}
 I guess you must have your reasons.{S}
 But that does not mean I will not keep an eye on him.{S}
 That is a lot of trust to put in someone who tried to kill you.{S}
 Yes, the rest of us have noticed that.{S}
 Then why bring him along?{S}
 Do not you think he might try to kill you again?{S}
 It is a serious question: do you actually believe him?{S}
 That does not stop the question from being relevant.{S}
 Do you believe him or not?{S}
 The more I talk to him, the more reasonable he does seem.{S}
 His philosophy is so strange, but it does not sound at all as vile as the Chantry describes it.{S}
 Yet he does not seem quite so bad as the Chantry tells us.{S}
 He does not even deny it.{S}
 Does not that bother you?{S}
 I do not know if I like the sound of that.{S}
 But I guess I take your meaning.{S}
 I do not get it.{S}
 Or do you really believe in her vision?{S}
 Even the Chantry believes that most claims of visions and such are usually people's minds playing tricks on them.{S}
 That is one way to put it.{S}
 I notice that you and her have become... close.{S}
 The rest of us have talked about it.{S}
 You think we have better things to do than gossip about you?{S}
 You give us far too much credit.{S}
 I hope you know what you are doing.{S}
 You do not fool me.{S}
 I do not know what to make of her.{S}
 If you look at her when she does not see you, she just looks so... so sad.{S}
 I almost feel guilty taking her away from her life.{S}
 Who would have thought a sister would prove to be an adept thief and spy, hey?{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 I mean... it is not as if we did not need the help when she came to us.{S}
 And how could she have known?{S}
 It is not as if she could have known that we needed help so desperately, after all, yet there she was.{S}
 Do you trust her?{S}
 I do not like her at all.{S}
 Do you?{S}
 Oh, I give up.{S}
 Do what you want.{S}
 That is the most sensible thing I have heard out of you yet.{S}
 Have you met her?{S}
 I think she would need a reason <emp>not</emp> to betray us.{S}
 Do you have a... thing going with Morrigan?{S}
 You think we have better things to do all day then talk about you?{S}
 Let us get back to it, shall we?{S}
 Do not tell me you actually get along with her.{S}
 You are just going to let her follow us around?{S}
 You may have a point.{S}
 I have got this nefarious plan to go around to each of them and secretly tell them all the nasty things you said.{S}
 Lead?{S}
 No leading.{S}
 Bad things happen when I lead.{S}
 We get lost, people die, and the next thing you know I am stranded somewhere without any pants.{S}
 I have had enough time to form my own opinions and I just want to see if yours are any different.{S}
 Just try and stop me.{S}
 Let us see... where should I begin?{S}
 Of course I care what you think.{S}
 Fine, then, have it your way.{S}
 Have it your way, then.{S}
 You know, I have been thinking...{S}
 Back when we left Goldanna's, you told me I needed to look out for myself more than I do.{S}
 I am beginning to think you were right.{S}
 I need to stop letting everyone else make my decisions for me.{S}
 I need to take a stand and think about myself for a change, or I am never going to be happy.{S}
 I should have done this a long time ago.{S}
 I am confused now and probably not making any sense.{S}
 No, what you said made sense.{S}
 Or did I not understand you?{S}
 I do not have to do it, I want to.{S}
 What you said made sense.{S}
 I should have done this a long time ago.{S}
 Lead the way.{S}
 Meeting you is the one bright spot out of everything that is happened.{S}
 You have been a great friend through all of this, the one bright spot in everything that is happened.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 We have got a lot left to do.{S}
 I appreciate that you brought me to see my sister, and that you... well, that you were there to talk me down after we left.{S}
 I did not mean to make this awkward...{S}
 I have no problem with that.{S}
 Let us just... go.{S}
 Let us just... go.{S}
 I have your back; you know that, right?{S}
 Do you know what this is?{S}
 I am trying to trick you.{S}
 Is it working?{S}
 Aw, I just about had you, did not I?{S}
 I picked it in Lothering.{S}
 I probably should have left it alone, but I could not.{S}
 So I have had it ever since.{S}
 I thought that I might... give it to you, actually.{S}
 I... do not know.{S}
 I guess it is not like you could... put it somewhere, or... wear it or anything, is it?{S}
 No, I... do not know that I would put it that way. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Wow.{S}
 It is good to know I have one, at least.{S}
 I just thought... here I am doing all this complaining, and you haven't exactly been having a good time of it yourself.{S}
 I was just thinking... here I am doing all this complaining, and you haven't exactly been having a good time of it yourself.{S}
 You have had none of the good experience of being a Grey Warden since your Joining, not a word of thanks or congratulations.{S}
 Tell you what a rare and wonderful thing you are to find amidst all this... darkness.{S}
 I know I am quite the prize, after all, no need to start crying on me or anything.{S}
 I do not know, was it the wrong one?{S}
 What else can I do?{S}
 I suppose I did it on impulse.{S}
 Now... if we could move right on past this awkward, embarrassing stage and get right to the steamy bits, I would appreciate it.{S}
 Let the awkward and embarrassing stage continue unabated, then.{S}
 I do not know how you can resist me like you do. <desc>Laughs</desc> Bluff called!{S}
 Now why do not you tell me how you really feel?{S}
 Well, you can not blame me for trying, can you?{S}
 I do not know what I was thinking.{S}
 We have better things to do right now, anyhow.{S}
 So let me ask you something.{S}
 It seems like the two of you have become quite... friendly.{S}
 I would have said something sooner, but...{S}
 I did not know how to put it without sounding... you know.{S}
 So now that I got that off my chest, let me ask something else: do you have any feelings towards <emp>me</emp>?{S}
 I guess that means you do not see anything wrong with...?{S}
 I am sorry that I brought this up.{S}
 It does not seem right to lead him on.{S}
 Or... well, to lead me on, to be honest.{S}
 Does that mean... that there might be something between us, then?{S}
 I should have known better.{S}
 If I waited for an "appropriate" time, I would never get to talk to you about anything, would I?{S}
 I could think of one if I tried really hard, though.{S}
 So all this time we have spent together... you know: the tragedy, the brushes with death, the constant battles with the whole Blight looming over us... will you miss it once it is over?{S}
 I know it... might sound strange, considering we haven't known each other for very long, but I have come to... care for you.{S}
 A great deal.{S}
 I think maybe it is because we have gone through so much together, I do not know.{S}
 Or do you think you might ever... feel the same way about me?{S}
 So I fooled you, did I?{S}
 I tried my best.{S}
 Perhaps once this is all said and done with, we will have more time to... talk.{S}
 Until then I apologize if I have been too forward.{S}
 Well, I will have to arrange that, then, will not I?{S}
 I will take that as a good sign.{S}
 I do not like the idea of leading him on.{S}
 I just can not do that.{S}
 I am sorry to put this on you, but I have to.{S}
 I can not do it, otherwise.{S}
 I am a lucky man, do not I know it.{S}
 Well, that is how it has to be, then.{S}
 Now let us get back to... what we were up to before.{S}
 But that does not mean we would necessarily be fighting them together.{S}
 Only one of the old sisters at the monastery used to never laugh at my jokes.{S}
 No matter how hard I tried, she would just glare at me and then rap me with her cane.{S}
 I know you probably do not care, but I just thought I would say it.{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 We have more important things to do, right?{S}
 Oh, wait, I get it.{S}
 I am sure you had something much more important to talk about anyhow, right?{S}
 Something you need, my dear?{S}
 Join you?{S}
 I should not be nervous, it is not like I do not want to...{S}
 You know that I have never done anything like this.{S}
 I care for you so much.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I am willing to... give it a shot, if you are.{S}
 I need to go dunk my head in something, excuse me.{S}
 Maybe I am not... the man you need me to be, then.{S}
 I do not know, yet.{S}
 I will tell you one thing: I do not intend to let you get away, if that is what you are thinking.{S}
 King or no king, I will find a way to make it work.{S}
 Arl Eamon wants to make me king at the Landsmeet.{S}
 But I have no idea what being king will mean for us.{S}
 I will have to think about that.{S}
 If I am king, I have no idea what that would mean for us.{S}
 I will need to think some more about that.{S}
 You do not hold back on the hard questions, huh?{S}
 I do not know where this is going.{S}
 We have the Blight to think of, first, do not we?{S}
 It is done.{S}
 Let us not drag it out, right?{S}
 What do you need now?{S}
 All right then, have it your way.{S}
 It does not hurt to have a pretty girl say that, though.{S}
 So... is this the part where I get to say the same?{S}
 Oh, I get it.{S}
 I will get it out of you, yet.{S}
 I just get to grin a bit and look foolish for a while.{S}
 Had a good pair of shoes?{S}
 I am not sure I do.{S}
 Have I never seen a basilisk?{S}
 Ate jellied ham?{S}
 Have I never licked a lamppost in winter?{S}
 Make fun of you, dear lady?{S}
 Well, tell me: have <emp>you</emp> ever licked a lamppost in winter?{S}
 Make fun of my comrade-in-arms?{S}
 Well, you tell me: have <emp>you</emp> ever licked a lamppost in winter?{S}
 I admit I have never had a woman just... come out and ask me like this, that is for sure.{S}
 A-and apparently you have no shame, as well.{S}
 Well all right, I will play along.{S}
 Let us be off, then, lest your risque talk make my ears blush.{S}
 It is a tough job, but somebody has to do it.{S}
 I... did I say beautiful?{S}
 Do you... have any particular opinion on my saying that?{S}
 Then I will have to think of something more provocative next time, will not I?{S}
 Until then, we should get under way, no?{S}
 I have many tearful nights in my tent to contemplate, after all.{S}
 I have been told that.{S}
 But your telling me gives me a wound that will last forever, I tell you.{S}
 I never have.{S}
 I remember one of the younger initiates did it on a dare, once, and there was pointing and laughing... oh, the humanity.{S}
 I, myself, have also never done it.{S}
 They taught me to be a gentleman, especially in the presence of beautiful women such as yourself.{S}
 I will have to remember that.{S}
 I have... no urge to rush into anything.{S}
 I do not want to talk about this any more.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 They raised me to be a gentleman.{S}
 And you did not lose half of your tongue in the process?{S}
 I, myself, never had the pleasure.{S}
 Well, hearing that from a beautiful woman does make me feel much luckier; I will say that.{S}
 That is... a disturbing mental image you have conjured for me, right there.{S}
 Lunch makes everything better.{S}
 I have cheese!{S}
 You know, I asked Duncan this, too, and all I got was, "You will see."{S}
 It is not that Duncan wants to keep it a secret.{S}
 It is just that the Grey Wardens do not discuss it much.{S}
 I used to get up in the middle of the night and raid the castle larder.{S}
 Because I was watching you wolf down food the other day and I thought, "It is a good thing she gets a lot of exercise."{S}
 I have never seen a pig eat like that.{S}
 Do not kill me!{S}
 I did not mean it like that.{S}
 Do not hit me!{S}
 I saw you eating dinner the other day.{S}
 Fine, I take it back.{S}
 But if you keep shoveling down our rations like that, the entire party's going to starve.{S}
 Regardless of the cause, you are still a savage.{S}
 The classy camaraderie of two men traveling out in the open.{S}
 I take it you were like this before the Joining, then?{S}
 We tap into their... well, I do not know what you would call it.{S}
 It is supposed to be worse for those who Join during a Blight.{S}
 Some people never have much trouble, but that is rare.{S}
 Others have trouble sleeping their entire life.{S}
 Everyone ends up the same, though.{S}
 Once you reach a certain age, the real nightmares come.{S}
 That is how a Grey Warden knows his time has come.{S}
 We never had time to tell you that part, did we?{S}
 Well, in addition to all the other wonderful things about being a Grey Warden, you do not need to worry about dying from old age.{S}
 You have got thirty years to live.{S}
 Give or take.{S}
 Ultimately your body will not be able to take it.{S}
 And you wondered why we kept the Joining a secret from the new recruits!{S}
 There you have it.{S}
 You know, Duncan... he started having the nightmares again.{S}
 I guess he got what he wanted.{S}
 I just wish it had been something worthy of him.{S}
 Because he made you take the Joining?{S}
 Because he made you take the Joining?{S}
 We can look forward to ending the Blight.{S}
 That is what is supposed to make this worth it.{S}
 Ending the Blight... should make this all worthwhile, right?{S}
 And the Blight needs to be stopped.{S}
 Is there a price too high to pay for that?{S}
 You will always find darkspawn down where the dwarves are.{S}
 He put his hand on my shoulder and said this: "It is not how you die that is important.{S}
 I have other lines for you, trust me.{S}
 I did not know them for very long, but I guess it was longer than you.{S}
 You never met them all, did you?{S}
 There was this one time... well, you probably do not want to hear stories about men you did not know.{S}
 I saw pictures of some who had been, and they all seemed to be able warriors.{S}
 Just one, a man named Tarimel.{S}
 He kept to himself, mostly.{S}
 I got the impression that his life before the Grey Wardens was... unpleasant.{S}
 There was one when I first joined, a dwarf named Kherek.{S}
 He was one of the elders and he... left for Orzammar before the reports of the Blight began.{S}
 What was his name?{S}
 He was a burly man with the biggest, fuzziest beard you have ever seen.{S}
 He drank all the time but never got drunk.{S}
 Finally we all made a pool to see just how many pints it would take to put him under the table.{S}
 All of us had gone through the Joining, so we knew... anyhow, it does not have to be deadly serious all the time.{S}
 Does it have to be serious and deadly all the time?{S}
 You might have tried, but this fellow had a supernatural constitution, I swear.{S}
 Anyhow, we never did find out.{S}
 I am told that Duncan walked in later on and saw us all passed out from one end of the hall to the other, and Gregor still drinking.{S}
 I thought I was done with this, but...{S}
 It just struck me that I have nothing to remember Duncan by.{S}
 There is no body, not even a token of his that I could... take with me.{S}
 I just would have liked something of his to take with me, that is all.{S}
 Well, there is no use in moaning about it, is there?{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 I do not want to talk about the Grey Wardens any more.{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 You never asked? <desc>Sigh</desc> All right, if you want the full explanation, I will give it to you.{S}
 The thing is, I am used to not telling anyone who did not already know.{S}
 And then after the battle when I should have told you...{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 How do you just tell someone that?{S}
 It is just that anyone who is ever found out has treated me differently afterwards.{S}
 More dangerous than the regular kind of danger we have faced since the battle?{S}
 I do not know about that.{S}
 They treat me differently.{S}
 I never wanted it, and I certainly do not want to be king.{S}
 For all the good it does me.{S}
 My blood seems certain to haunt me no matter what I do.{S}
 And now Arl Eamon plans to put me forward as the heir.{S}
 It never ends, does it?{S}
 It was a dumb thing to do.{S}
 You see, I did not know that.{S}
 I wish I could take it back.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 It was a dumb thing to do.{S}
 I do not think I have ever had a choice in the matter.{S}
 Right from when I was born, all my choices have been made for me.{S}
 Have you met me?{S}
 I do not want to be the person sitting on the throne and making decisions that affect the lives of others.{S}
 It is nice to know you will be there to support me.{S}
 I will point out that you did ask.{S}
 I should have told you anyway.{S}
 I am not trying to make you more upset, I... <desc>sigh</desc> Let me explain.{S}
 I did not mean to... it wasn't supposed to... <desc>sigh</desc> Let me explain.{S}
 No, please do not think that.{S}
 It is not that I did not trust you.{S}
 It is... <desc>sigh</desc> Please, let me try to explain.{S}
 I wasn't... trying to deceive you on purpose.{S}
 I... let me explain.{S}
 I think I have heard this somewhere.{S}
 It seems to be a theme, does not it?{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 Do not worry about it, honestly.{S}
 Let us just forget about it, shall we?{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 You do?{S}
 What do you know, wishes really do come true, sometimes.{S}
 Done and done!{S}
 Let us never speak of it again.{S}
 Always taking so long.{S}
 And I got the feeling at the end, there, that it saw us.{S}
 It could have just been my imagination, I suppose.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 Does that mean we have to be extra, extra careful now?{S}
 Well, short of waltzing through the entire darkspawn horde and tapping it on the nose, I am not sure just how we are supposed to do that.{S}
 Good to have you on board.{S}
 There is plenty in Orlais, but who knows where they might be found.{S}
 If we go north and cross the sea, there is bound to be some in the Free Marches.{S}
 Again, however, I just do not know where.{S}
 I do not know anything about Grey Wardens in other lands.{S}
 Loghain will have control over that and be watching it, no doubt.{S}
 But I have no idea how to even contact them.{S}
 So unless we try to get back to the compound in Denerim, I suppose the answer is no... there is nowhere for us to go.{S}
 We could try to contact them, but that would mean leaving Ferelden... and even if we did, they could not come back with us in time to stop the Blight.{S}
 I mean, eventually we would have to use the Joining to make more Grey Wardens, right?{S}
 But I do not know how to do the Joining, or what is involved.{S}
 I know it involves lyrium and some other magic, and that is it is really difficult to prepare.{S}
 Unless we can find out more about the Joining, I guess we would better get used to the idea that there might only be two of us for now.{S}
 I... do not know.{S}
 Same way you did.{S}
 You haven't forgotten already, have you?{S}
 I do my best.{S}
 Let us see, I was in the Chantry before.{S}
 That is what I was trained for, though I never got to hunt any actual mages.{S}
 I ended up joining the Grey Wardens before I took the sacramental vows.{S}
 I do not think I would have made a very good templar.{S}
 The grand cleric did not want to let me go.{S}
 Duncan was forced to conscript me, actually, and was she ever furious when he did.{S}
 I thought she was going to have us both arrested.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 When he came looking for recruits, I just remember praying fervently to the Maker that he would pick me.{S}
 I will always be thankful to Duncan for recruiting me.{S}
 I would not have...{S}
 They all did.{S}
 I should not forget what Loghain did.{S}
 Come on, let us go.{S}
 I think I am done talking.{S}
 Here we have the chance to fight against the Blight, to actually do some good instead of sitting in a temple somewhere.{S}
 I think she just did not want to give anything to the Grey Wardens, is all.{S}
 The Chantry did not lose much.{S}
 And I think I can do more fighting the Blight anyhow rather than sitting in a temple somewhere.{S}
 I do not know whether or not you have noticed, but I am not exactly the Chantry type.{S}
 I never meant it that way, do not be like that.{S}
 You are cute when you get all irritable, you know that?{S}
 You get this little knot right between your--oh, never mind.{S}
 Do not tell anyone else.{S}
 Oh, fine, have it your way.{S}
 You do not have to do that.{S}
 I know you did not know him as long as I did.{S}
 I... should have handled it better.{S}
 Duncan warned me right from the beginning that this could happen.{S}
 I should not have lost it, not when so much is riding on us, not with the Blight and... and everything.{S}
 I would... like to have a proper funeral for him.{S}
 Maybe once this is all done, if we are still alive.{S}
 I do not think he had any family to speak of.{S}
 I suppose he did.{S}
 I feel like I abandoned him.{S}
 It is not like that would make him happier.{S}
 Maybe I will go up out there sometime, see about putting up something in his honor.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 The Dalish do not practice cremation, do they?{S}
 How do your people honor your dead?{S}
 Sure, nobody needs to know what a softie you are.{S}
 Let us... get going.{S}
 We still have a lot to do, right?{S}
 Dwarves do not practice cremation, do they?{S}
 How do your people honor your dead?{S}
 Have you... had someone close to you die?{S}
 Yes, I suppose you... must have.{S}
 That must have felt a lot like when I got sent to the Chantry.{S}
 You mages do not even get a say in the matter, after all.{S}
 Yes, I... imagine you really have, haven't you?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I have no idea what the Grey Wardens do for their... when they fall in battle.{S}
 Not when there is so many who are still going to die unless we do something.{S}
 By the time the snows come, this will all be done one way or the other.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 So long as we are looking at taking down that bastard, Loghain, I will not be losing any sleep at night.{S}
 Let us just get going, shall we?{S}
 For a moment there I thought you might actually have cared.{S}
 Did I say that?{S}
 I meant that dogs raised me.{S}
 Well, it wasn't until I was eight that I discovered you did not have to lick yourself clean.{S}
 Well if you are going to go and pay attention to the facts, then fine, fine.{S}
 Let us see.{S}
 How do I explain this?{S}
 And before you make any smart comments, I mean the fatherless kind.{S}
 My mother was a serving girl in Redcliffe Castle who died when I was very young.{S}
 Arl Eamon wasn't my father, but he took me in anyhow and put a roof over my head.{S}
 He was good to me, and he did not have to be.{S}
 I respect the man and I do not blame him any more for sending me off to the Chantry once I was old enough.{S}
 He was King Maric's brother-in-law, which makes him my... uncle?{S}
 Anyhow, he did not have to take me in.{S}
 He could have sent me anywhere to be raised.{S}
 I guess he did it out of loyalty to Maric.{S}
 I... tried to tell you this earlier, when we got to Redcliffe.{S}
 "Oh, by the way, King Maric had sex with a servant and she produced an inconvenient bastard son.{S}
 Everyone who knew either resented me for it or they coddled me... even Duncan kept me out of the fighting because of it.{S}
 I... guess I was glad that you did not know.{S}
 It is not like it is ever brought me anything decent, anyhow.{S}
 That is what I had to tell you.{S}
 Maker's breath, just hearing that gives me a heart attack!{S}
 It was always made clear that the throne is not in my future.{S}
 Did I just find the one damn decent thing about my birthright?{S}
 I think I did.{S}
 I did not want to walk into Redcliffe without you knowing the truth, that would be just... awkward.{S}
 I know I should have said something.{S}
 It is... never brought me anything but problems.{S}
 I should have.{S}
 It is brought me nothing but problems, to be honest.{S}
 I have no idea.{S}
 I do not know if that means anything, though...{S}
 I do not think so... you do not think so, do you?{S}
 He died even before my mother did, anyhow.{S}
 Arl Eamon eventually married a young woman from Orlais, which caused all sorts of problems between him and the king because it was so soon after the war.{S}
 The arl did not care, but she did.{S}
 She may have, but I think it is more likely that she feared the rumors might be true.{S}
 It was just a kindness he did to a woman who had served him, anyway.{S}
 I did not sleep on silk sheets in the keep or anything.{S}
 She wondered if the rumors were true herself, I bet.{S}
 I wasn't raised as the arl's son, though, if you are picturing that.{S}
 I remember I had an amulet with Andraste's holy symbol on it.{S}
 The only thing I had of my mother's.{S}
 Stupid, stupid thing to do.{S}
 Oh, let us hope not.{S}
 It is been made very clear to me early on that there was no room for me raising any rebellions or such nonsense.{S}
 No, if there is an heir to be found anywhere, it is Arl Eamon himself.{S}
 Though... if he is really as sick as we have heard... no, I do not want to think about that.{S}
 I really do not.{S}
 At any rate, I do not look anything like him... you will see for yourself.{S}
 And raised by dogs.{S}
 Or I may as well have been, the way I acted.{S}
 But maybe all young bastards act like that, I do not know.{S}
 This news we have heard about him being sick disturbs me, though.{S}
 I wonder if we will not discover that Loghain has come to the same conclusion as we have.{S}
 He also was King Cailan's uncle, so he has a personal motivation to see Loghain pay for what he did.{S}
 So there you have it.{S}
 I knew you could do it.{S}
 At least I have a chance to make things right.{S}
 I do not feel very lucky at all, to be honest.{S}
 You would think you would have gotten past that already.{S}
 I ended up in the Chantry, sure, but I did not start there.{S}
 That and that they make a great deal of cheese.{S}
 As a matter of fact, if you said cheese around them, they would start growling.{S}
 Or did I dream all of that?{S}
 Funny the dreams you will have when you sleep on the cold, hard ground, is not it?{S}
 Or did I dream all of that?{S}
 Funny the dreams you will have when you sleep on the cold, hard ground, is not it?{S}
 Are you having strange dreams?{S}
 You would do violence?{S}
 Point taken.{S}
 You have no sense of humor, you know that?{S}
 Fine, fine, have it your way.{S}
 Have you seen the uniform?{S}
 It is not only stylish, but well-made.{S}
 You did not have to put up with all the years of boring book-work and all the rituals and prayer.{S}
 So you do not get the uniform.{S}
 You do not really want to know about my being a templar, do you?{S}
 I have a couple of interesting-looking moles I can show you later, too, if you are interested.{S}
 The truth of the matter is that I did hate going to the monastery.{S}
 The initiates from poor families thought I put on airs, while the noble ones called me a bastard and ignored me.{S}
 I felt like Arl Eamon had cast me off, unwanted, and I was determined to be bitter.{S}
 But I took some solace in the training itself, I guess.{S}
 You need to have a disciplined mind in order to use the abilities we have.{S}
 No, I never got that far.{S}
 I mostly learned about discipline and training my mind to use the abilities that templars have.{S}
 Using the abilities I have came after years of education and discipline that was difficult to achieve, if rewarding.{S}
 I never really felt at home anywhere, though, until I joined the Grey Wardens.{S}
 And Duncan felt my templar abilities might be useful for when we encountered darkspawn magic, so I kept it up.{S}
 Do you have anywhere you consider home?{S}
 You must miss them a great deal.{S}
 Duncan and the Grey Wardens are the closest I ever got to that kind of family.{S}
 I... did not know you felt that way.{S}
 Once the war is over, once the Blight is... well, a time will come when we will have to think about having a real home again.{S}
 We can create new Grey Wardens, but we will never get back those we lost.{S}
 I do not know what I would find out there that would be any different.{S}
 Anyhow, now I have side-tracked us.{S}
 We would better get back to what we are supposed to be doing right now.{S}
 Best to concentrate on what we have to do right now.{S}
 It is not like we have anything better to do, right?{S}
 Sorry if I was being perverse, I am just... not used to anyone asking me these things.{S}
 Then let us just get back to what we were doing.{S}
 Well, then why did you bother asking?{S}
 Paid in blood, sweat and hours upon hours spent flagellating myself in the dark.{S}
 I would use my shield if I could, but I think you might actually spot me hiding behind it.{S}
 I think the templar uniforms are as colorful as they are just so the templars did not feel dull in comparison.{S}
 Last thing you want when you are about to take down some maleficar out in the woods is to have him point and laugh at your taste in clothing.{S}
 Oh, you know... between all the guilt and the hours spent in solemn prayer, any good templar or priest is just bursting to tell a few good jokes when the opportunity arises.{S}
 I keep it hidden under my pillow.{S}
 Sometimes I will take it out just so I can hug it fondly and remember the good old days. <desc>Sniffs</desc> Brings a tear to the eyes, you know?{S}
 In private we have these yellow and purple tunics, right?{S}
 Much more comfortable, and you do not break the beds when you jump on them during a pillow fight.{S}
 I used to be able to, but then the Chantry beat it out of me.{S}
 I can not hardly get through a pillow fight these days without becoming overcome with guilt, either.{S}
 She would give you the evil eye and you would want to faint dead away, I am not kidding.{S}
 You are quite determined to get this out of me, are not you?{S}
 Having all your fun drained out of you must make you nosy.{S}
 The kind that puts hair on your chest!{S}
 Let them talk.{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 We have a darkspawn horde to defeat.{S}
 Just get moving.{S}
 We stay together, no matter what happens.{S}
 I really do not know.{S}
 You do not need her.{S}
 You have others who care for you.{S}
 I care about you.{S}
 I care about you.{S}
 You have friends, Alistair.{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 We should really get under way.{S}
 How naive can you get?{S}
 Goldanna, Alistair came here hoping to find his family.{S}
 You have got some nerve talking to your brother like this.{S}
 Let us go, Alistair.{S}
 Are you going to let her talk like that?!{S}
 Let us leave.{S}
 I do not think this was a good idea.{S}
 Would not you rather meet her on your own?{S}
 Fine, let us see if she is home.{S}
 Yes, let us do that.{S}
 We do not have time for this, really.{S}
 I found it in Redcliffe castle, in the study.{S}
 I found it on the road, somewhere.{S}
 Do not be stupid, I got it at Redcliffe.{S}
 Maybe he meant to give it back to you.{S}
 I do not know, but it is yours.{S}
 Did you say something?{S}
 Let us not make more out of this than it is.{S}
 I do not need it.{S}
 Yes, I bought it.{S}
 Do not thank me all at once.{S}
 Just take it and let us go.{S}
 Just do not start crying or anything, all right?{S}
 Were not you complaining that you would not get to fight?{S}
 We have fighting to do!{S}
 Why do I have to choose anyone?{S}
 Let us not drag this on.{S}
 We are a bit busy to be making social calls, Alistair.{S}
 We do not have time for side trips.{S}
 What are you expecting she will do?{S}
 If you want to, we could try.{S}
 Have you contacted her?{S}
 We will probably be a bit too busy to make social calls.{S}
 Loghain will get what is coming to him, I promise you.{S}
 You have a friend outside the Grey Wardens?{S}
 Go ahead, I do not mind.{S}
 I thought you two would get along.{S}
 Where does he get the liquor?{S}
 I do not think he will try again.{S}
 If he tries anything, then he will die.{S}
 I am willing to give him a chance.{S}
 Yes, I actually do.{S}
 He and I have a connection.{S}
 I will give him that.{S}
 It means he is good at what he does.{S}
 Yes, it does bother me a little.{S}
 He seems to regret what he did.{S}
 You do not believe in religious visions and miracles?{S}
 Yes, we have a connection.{S}
 She is proven very useful.{S}
 I do not.{S}
 Do not be such a soft touch.{S}
 You really do not like each other, do you?{S}
 She and I have a connection.{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 You have quite the way with words.{S}
 I do not have to like her.{S}
 What reason could she have to betray us?{S}
 She has a reason.{S}
 I do not know about that.{S}
 I let you follow us around.{S}
 I would not trust you to lead us to lunch.{S}
 If you want to lead, all you have to do is ask.{S}
 Who do you want to ask about?{S}
 Why do you care what I think?{S}
 You are capable of having your own opinions, right?{S}
 What have you been thinking about?{S}
 Do not do that!{S}
 Do not let me influence you, Alistair.{S}
 No, but you do not have to do what I say.{S}
 Do not thank me, thank yourself.{S}
 Let us just go.{S}
 Now let us go.{S}
 I do not feel the same way, I am afraid.{S}
 And what do you intend to do with it?{S}
 And what am I supposed to do with it?{S}
 I... do not know what to say.{S}
 So... are we married now?{S}
 And you were doing so well, too.{S}
 If you have to ask, it was.{S}
 And so you give me a flower?{S}
 You have been thumbing that flower for a while, now.{S}
 I suppose we have.{S}
 I have come to care for you a great deal.{S}
 I picked you, did not I?{S}
 I could use a laugh.{S}
 I think I already do.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I need more testing to be sure.{S}
 You are not leading him on.{S}
 Do not make me decide between you, Alistair.{S}
 Then that is how it has to be.{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 She did not beat it out of you?{S}
 I wish I had a cane to beat you with.{S}
 So how would you like to join me in my tent?{S}
 Do I need to repeat myself?{S}
 If you do not want to...{S}
 You need to relax, Alistair.{S}
 I think this is as right as it gets.{S}
 Let us forget about it for now.{S}
 Just follow my lead, Alistair.{S}
 "Give it a shot?"{S}
 I need a real man.{S}
 Where do you see this going between us?{S}
 If we care about each other, that is all that matters.{S}
 I think we need to end this now.{S}
 Let us not make it something it is not.{S}
 I am sorry, it is just not working out.{S}
 Has anyone ever told you how handsome you are?{S}
 Do not get excited.{S}
 Not unless you do not think so.{S}
 I would prefer you did not.{S}
 If you were raised in the Chantry, have you never...?{S}
 Now you are making fun of me.{S}
 Of course I have.{S}
 Hey, you read my mind!{S}
 When you have a firm opinion, so will I.{S}
 I would rather you did not.{S}
 At least you will get some decent rest.{S}
 No, I have never licked a lamppost in winter.{S}
 You have never had the opportunity?{S}
 Why yes, I have licked a lamppost in winter!{S}
 And apparently, your luck ends there.{S}
 I have licked my share of lampposts and then some.{S}
 What changes about you after the Joining?{S}
 Take that back!{S}
 I have had some strange dreams.{S}
 His time has come?{S}
 He got what he deserved.{S}
 If this is all we have to look forward to...{S}
 It seems a high price to pay.{S}
 Bad news, I take it?{S}
 Nothing to get excited about.{S}
 Just try that line on me.{S}
 Fine, just keep them to yourself.{S}
 Why do not you try them?{S}
 Let us get back to the point.{S}
 You have been a Grey Warden longer than I have.{S}
 Do not avoid the question.{S}
 Sounds like you had a lot of fun.{S}
 I bet I could have out-drank him.{S}
 You have your memories of him.{S}
 Let us not talk about it.{S}
 It certainly does.{S}
 A lot of people have died, Alistair.{S}
 Are not you done, yet?{S}
 Why did you keep your birthright a secret?{S}
 You do not think it was dangerous not to?{S}
 What happens when people find out?{S}
 It does not sound stupid at all.{S}
 I do like you, and not because of your blood.{S}
 Now I do not even know who you are.{S}
 Do not worry about it, Alistair.{S}
 No harm done.{S}
 You probably do not have a choice in the matter.{S}
 Do not want to be king?{S}
 You have been avoiding it.{S}
 Do you want to make me more angry?{S}
 Did you not trust me?{S}
 I am hurt that you did not trust me.{S}
 It is because we do not get along.{S}
 Do not answer, then.{S}
 I did not mean it.{S}
 Do not accept my apology, then.{S}
 It does, does not it?{S}
 I had another dream about the archdemon.{S}
 I think we need to be extra careful.{S}
 I think that archdemon needs to die.{S}
 Will we need to start rebuilding the order?{S}
 So how did you become a Grey Warden?{S}
 You think Duncan took pity on you?{S}
 I should not have brought him up.{S}
 Do not start crying again.{S}
 Why did the grand cleric want to keep you?{S}
 You do not seem like the religious sort.{S}
 If you do not want to answer, then say so.{S}
 Do not be an idiot.{S}
 Do you want to talk about Duncan?{S}
 That does not mean I do not mourn his loss.{S}
 I just thought you might need to talk.{S}
 No harm done, Alistair.{S}
 There is no need to apologize.{S}
 He had you.{S}
 Yes, well, just do not tell anyone.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 Do not be so ignorant.{S}
 I have lost enough to know what you are going through.{S}
 I doubt you will get the chance.{S}
 Yes, well, let us forget about it.{S}
 Just do not let it happen again.{S}
 I do not want you falling apart again.{S}
 So you said this Arl Eamon raised you?{S}
 I thought the Chantry would have beat that out of you.{S}
 So does a horde of darkspawn, I am told.{S}
 He took you in because you were a royal heir, no doubt.{S}
 You do not think you might have told me this before?!{S}
 Somehow I find that very... thrilling.{S}
 Why do I need to know?{S}
 We can use this to our advantage, actually.{S}
 You still should have told me.{S}
 Does Loghain know?{S}
 Why did he send you off to the Chantry?{S}
 Wasn't it inappropriate for the arl to raise an orphan?{S}
 What an awful thing to do to a child.{S}
 Why keep it a secret now?{S}
 But you blamed him then, I take it?{S}
 I thought you were raised by the Chantry.{S}
 That must have been tough for them.{S}
 Only ones where we are making mad love in my tent.{S}
 And these dogs sold you to the Chantry, I take it?{S}
 Raised by flying, devout dogs.{S}
 You say he raised you?{S}
 Why have you remained a templar if you hate the Chantry?{S}
 Then make up something more exciting.{S}
 What did you enjoy about the training?{S}
 Enjoyed hunting mages, did you?{S}
 My home was taken over by Arl Howe.{S}
 You can always keep traveling.{S}
 I do really want to know, yes.{S}
 You do not have to tell me, then.{S}
 Not if it is going to lead to more of your stupid jokes, no.{S}
 In that case, you should have become a mage.{S}
 Do all templars make these jokes?{S}
 I do not think I have ever seen you wearing it.{S}
 I thought templars wore heavy plate, mostly.{S}
 You had lots of these pillow fights, I take it?{S}
 Simply know that I have no designs on your independence.{S}
 I wish only to do what I desire, and if that coincides with what you desire... then so be it. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Finished with me, now, are you?{S}
 Well you do not get away so easily as that!{S}
 I will have my way with you until I am satisfied, out of a sense of fairness if nothing else.{S}
 I simply like making things difficult for you.{S}
 Then I assume we are done?{S}
 Do you really need to talk?{S}
 What do you want to talk about?{S}
 You have a sense of fairness?{S}
 And should you decide not to continue our... misadventure, then so be it.{S}
 I do like to keep it simple.{S}
 Then we should get along marvelously. <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 Let us be off before the others begin to stare.{S}
 Does that enter the picture?{S}
 Prince Bhelen was chosen by the ancestors to be the king of Orzammar.{S}
 He has promised you troops and they will be waiting on the surface when the time comes.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont was chosen by the ancestors to be the king of Orzammar.{S}
 He has promised you troops and they will be waiting on the surface when the time comes. <emp>Gain Orzammar's aid in battling the Blight</emp>{S}
 You need to travel deep underground, to the fabled dwarven city of Orzammar, to earn the trust of her king and dwarven troops for your army.{S}
 The gates of Orzammar are open to you, but King Endrin has died, and the deshyrs, the dwarven lords, have been unable to choose a successor.{S}
 To gain their aid, the deadlock in the Assembly must end.{S}
 Instead of a warm welcoming family, he found only bitterness and resentment.{S}
 We have an opportunity that I believe we should take advantage of.{S}
 With the Circle of Magi in such disarray, it occurs to me that this might be the perfect time to recover the tome from their possession, for surely it eventually ended up in their hands.{S}
 And her grimoire would be more than a mere curiosity to mages that dare not even glance towards the places my mother has walked for eons.{S}
 Then at least I know it does not exist.{S}
 'Tis a book of spells, of the sort that Flemeth has dabbled with throughout her long life.{S}
 Not the sort of thing that would benefit a mage such as yourself, perhaps, for you were taught... a different path.{S}
 I, however, was taught by my mother.{S}
 They were taught a different path.{S}
 I, however, was taught by my mother.{S}
 I know a way around the wards my mother would have placed on such a tome.{S}
 I know the language that she would have written it in.{S}
 I would find such a tome... most useful.{S}
 Does that not follow?{S}
 If you have some fear of me such that I should not be allowed such knowledge, then by all means deprive me of it.{S}
 I have no ulterior motive for seeking it, however.{S}
 I did not think of it, earlier.{S}
 Truly, Mother has assumed for a long time that the tome was lost forever.{S}
 I only remembered it now after thinking what treasures might be found in the Circle of Magi's tower now... in its condition.{S}
 I did not realize that your needs were so much more urgent than my own.{S}
 I simply did not realize that this was all about you.{S}
 Then I shall endeavor to make your every waking moment as utterly exciting as possible.{S}
 I think I already have the tome you are talking about.{S}
 What makes you think the mages still have this book?{S}
 What do you want with this grimoire, exactly?{S}
 How do I know it is not dangerous?{S}
 Why did not you mention this earlier?{S}
 I will keep an eye out for it.{S}
 We do not have time for scavenger hunts.{S}
 I have something to ask.{S}
 Do not be so damned defensive!{S}
 You said earlier that you had a thought?{S}
 When I spoke of it to you, I did not truly hope... ah, but this is a most fortuitous event!{S}
 Ever since we discovered the condition of the mage's tower, I had wondered if it might be recoverable... but I had yet to speak of it to you.{S}
 How fortunate that you found it on your own.{S}
 It did not occur to me when we were still in the mage tower.{S}
 I wish it had.{S}
 I have no wealth that is not yours.{S}
 If my aid is not enough, then I have little more to offer. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Then something will have to be done about that, sometime.{S}
 If not, however, then I shall simply put it out of my mind.{S}
 But we have time to hunt for everything else, under every rock and inside every chest, yes?{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 My tent does get rather cold...{S}
 Well, you know... radiating joy and love, while everyone has to face death and the Blight and a bleak future.{S}
 However, he needs the permission from the Shaperate to do so.{S}
 The Shaper can be found in the Noble Quarter.{S}
 With your help, Brother Burkel has started a chantry in Orzammar.{S}
 Brother Burkel was unable to start a chantry in Orzammar. <emp>Help Brother Burkel establish a chantry in Orzammar</emp>{S}
 The shaper has granted Brother Burkel his permission to start a small chantry in Orzammar.{S}
 The Chant in the Deeps <emp>Persuade Zerlinda's father to take her back</emp>{S}
 You met Zerlinda, a penniless young woman, in the slums.{S}
 Once part of the mining caste, she was disowned for having a son with a casteless man, and is now alone and destitute.{S}
 You agreed to try to persuade her father, Ordel, to take her back, so she and her child can lead normal lives.{S}
 Zerlinda has gone to Brother Burkel's newly established chantry.{S}
 At least she will have some food and a warm bed to sleep in, for now. <emp>Return to Zerlinda</emp>{S}
 Zerlinda's father, Ordel, refused to take her back in.{S}
 Perhaps you could find another solution to her problem.{S}
 Zerlinda has returned to her family.{S}
 Ordel has come around, and is willing to take back Zerlinda and her child.{S}
 She remains alone and penniless. <emp>Find Zerlinda some shelter</emp>{S}
 You should return to Zerlinda to let her know. <emp>Find Zerlinda some shelter</emp>{S}
 You met Zerlinda, a penniless young woman, in the slums.{S}
 Once part of the mining caste, she was disowned for having a son with a casteless man, and is now alone and destitute.{S}
 You told Zerlinda that no one cares about caste on the surface.{S}
 She has left Orzammar in the hopes that she may make a new life for herself and her baby in the surface world.{S}
 Zerlinda's Woe <emp>Bring Dagna's request to the Circle of Magi</emp>{S}
 You met a young dwarven woman named Dagna whose biggest wish is to study magic at the Circle of Magi.{S}
 Even though dwarves are incapable of doing magic, she wants to study its theory.{S}
 Dagna has left for the Circle of the Magi.{S}
 First Enchanter Irving of the Circle of the Magi has agreed to accept Dagna as a student.{S}
 The Landsmeet is over, and Alistair, son of the great King Maric, has been chosen to be the king of Ferelden.{S}
 You have my thanks.{S}
 I will begin study of the tome immediately.{S}
 My mother has many of them, and this tome represents the one time that they were able to get away from her.{S}
 I suppose <emp>something</emp> is deserved for all your efforts, is it not? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Oh, I do not know.{S}
 Let us test the theory.{S}
 Compensation requested and provided. <desc>Laughs</desc> Indeed, for I always do.{S}
 This tome represents the one time any of my mother's secrets were able to get away from her.{S}
 I do not intend to squander this opportunity to learn more than Flemeth wished me to know.{S}
 What do you hope to find within it?{S}
 Do not I even get a kiss?{S}
 Have it your way, then.{S}
 Prince Bhelen is one of the two men who could take the throne.{S}
 Vartag may be found in the Assembly Chamber, which is in the Diamond Quarter.{S}
 You found Vartag Gavorn and spoke with him.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont is one of the two men who could take the throne.{S}
 You can find Dulin either in Harrowmont's Estate in the Diamond Quarter or in Tapsters Tavern.{S}
 You found Dulin Forender and spoke with him.{S}
 You did not speak with Dulin Forender.{S}
 You did not speak with Vartag Gavorn. <emp>Find Filda's son, Ruck</emp>{S}
 You met a woman named Filda in the Orzammar Commons who was praying for her son, Ruck, a smith who was lost on a Deep Roads expedition five years ago.{S}
 Filda does not know if Ruck is alive, dead, or worse.{S}
 You have agreed to look for signs of Ruck in the Deep Roads.{S}
 She accepts it, and is grateful that you risked so much to bring her that news.{S}
 You informed Filda that Ruck had gone mad and that you put him out of his misery.{S}
 You found Ruck in the lost dwarven thaigs of the Deep Roads.{S}
 He survived for years scavenging from the ruins and eating the dead darkspawn that litter the place.{S}
 Filda cared little for the other details.{S}
 The Paragon smith, Branka, lives and has chosen to remain with the Anvil of the Void, so she can learn its secrets.{S}
 Branka has come to the realization that the Anvil of the Void is an evil thing.{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 Is it true he has found the Sacred Urn?{S}
 Has he found Andraste's Ashes?{S}
 Arl Eamon needs them.{S}
 I shall make my purpose known to Genitivi, and no other.{S}
 Unfortunately, I do not know where he is.{S}
 That makes two of us.{S}
 Whether he found it... the Maker only knows.{S}
 When you first came in I was... was hoping that you had news of Brother Genitivi--wishful thinking, it seems.{S}
 He is an eminent scholar and researcher, who serves the great Chantry.{S}
 What do you think he discovered?{S}
 Do you think he is in trouble because of the Urn?{S}
 Take the promissory notes to Lady Dace.{S}
 He may think twice about supporting Harrowmont now.{S}
 Working for Bhelen: Speak with Lord Dace{S}
 Take the promissory notes to Lord Helmi.{S}
 The Helmis will probably think twice about supporting Harrowmont now.{S}
 Working for Bhelen: Speak with Lord Helmi{S}
 Then why has he not returned or sent a message?{S}
 I-I tried to send help, but some knights came from Redcliffe looking for him not long ago.{S}
 I sent them after Genitivi and they too have disappeared.{S}
 Perhaps the Urn has been lost for a reason.{S}
 How do you know they disappeared?{S}
 Tapster's Waitress ...told him I do not understand why the Provings are not open to everyone.{S}
 Do they really need our help to decide who is worthy?{S}
 Where did you send them?{S}
 I need the Urn for Arl Eamon.{S}
 Genitivi was close to finding the Urn.{S}
 I am afraid something has happened.{S}
 Genitivi's research into the Urn may have led him into danger.{S}
 I fear he has gotten too close to the truth.{S}
 Maybe he has found the Urn, and is studying it.{S}
 I will succeed where they failed and get Genitivi back.{S}
 No, do not ask me where they went.{S}
 Some things are not meant to be found.{S}
 They may have been detained.{S}
 I need to obtain the Ashes, or Arl Eamon will die.{S}
 You should return to her in the Orzammar slums to see if you can find an alternate solution. <emp>Infiltrate Jarvia's hideout</emp>{S}
 You have learned about a door in Dust Town that leads to the carta's hideout.{S}
 You have obtained the finger-bone key that opens the door. <emp>Infiltrate Jarvia's hideout</emp>{S}
 You need to find a way into Jarvia's hideout.{S}
 Perhaps you will be able to find some clues in Dust Town.{S}
 Has something happened to Brother Genitivi?{S}
 But the discovery of the Urn would bring hope to so many. <desc>Sigh</desc> So be it.{S}
 I hope his trail has not gone cold.{S}
 I am not surprised it led to this.{S}
 Have you tried searching for him?{S}
 I... it is been a very difficult time for me and sometimes I do not know what to think or feel.{S}
 You could have gone after him.{S}
 Why did not you?{S}
 That makes sense.{S}
 Because I do not think you have been entirely truthful.{S}
 The things you have said have not matched up.{S}
 I want Genitivi to be rescued, but I do not want more people to be hurt.{S}
 You understand, do not you?{S}
 You do not have to trust me.{S}
 Then I shall find him for you.{S}
 I do not know if I should trust you.{S}
 Proving Honor{S}
 You did not enter the Provings.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You showed Lady Dace the papers, but the deal with Harrowmont was made by her father.{S}
 Lady Dace does not have the authority to change her house's vote. <emp>Locate and speak to Lord Anwer Dace in the Deep Roads</emp>{S}
 You showed Lady Dace the papers, but the deal with Harrowmont was made by her father.{S}
 Lady Dace does not have the authority to change her house's vote.{S}
 Only her father may, but he has left on a Deep Roads expedition.{S}
 You must find Lord Dace to change his mind. <emp>Restore your son's birthright</emp>{S}
 Your past has come back to haunt you.{S}
 Mardy, the noble-hunter you shared a night with on your first commission, has borne you a son.{S}
 Because you have been exiled, your son is casteless, and has no name.{S}
 Mardy wants you to find a way to restore your son's birthright, and make him noble again.{S}
 You have restored your son's birthright.{S}
 He will have everything Mardy believes he deserves.{S}
 You spoke to your brother, Bhelen, about your son, and Bhelen says he will consider accepting the child into House Aeducan, provided you help him to the throne. <emp>Restore your son's birthright</emp>{S}
 Once a king sits on Orzammar's throne, your son will have a name and a house.{S}
 So much has been promised to you.{S}
 I hope I find the Urn.{S}
 You failed to give your son a chance at a decent life, one that he deserves. <emp>Restore your son's birthright</emp>{S}
 You crowned Bhelen king of Orzammar, and he has agreed to restore your son's Aeducan name. <emp>Restore your son's birthright</emp>{S}
 He has agreed to welcome your son into House Harrowmont, out of respect for your late father.{S}
 Why do I keep up this charade?{S}
 I gave you a chance to turn aside and forget you ever heard of Genitivi and the Urn.{S}
 Now it has come to this...{S}
 I do this in Your Name.{S}
 I do not know!{S}
 Why do I keep up this charade?{S}
 Oh, I am sure you can find others who will have more to say about this grand city.{S}
 Oh, I suppose I should not have barged in like that.{S}
 What do you know of the Urn?{S}
 So where did they go?{S}
 I shall take my leave now.{S}
 I have wasted enough time here.{S}
 Time to go. <emp>Find a way to end the Assembly's deadlock</emp>{S}
 To gain Orzammar's support, there needs to be a king on the throne.{S}
 For a king to be chosen, the deadlock in the Assembly must be ended.{S}
 I have told you all I know.{S}
 Maybe you are right; I should not get involved in this.{S}
 Yes, and perhaps I shall take your advice and forget this.{S}
 Shaper <emp>Find records of Orta's family in Ortan Thaig</emp>{S}
 Orta has asked you to search for the long-lost House Ortan records in Ortan Thaig.{S}
 She believes that one daughter of the house may have survived the darkspawn, and that she is a descendent of that daughter.{S}
 If Orta finds proof that this is true, she will be raised up as a noble.{S}
 Thanks to you, Orta, of House Ortan, has retaken her seat in the Assembly.{S}
 Her gratitude will certainly be of use in the future.{S}
 If exploration pans out, she may have an additional reward if you ever return to Orzammar.{S}
 Was there something else you needed?{S}
 Is there something you need from me?{S}
 Why do you return?{S}
 Maybe they took Genitivi back to Redcliffe.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I suppose that is a fair assumption to make.{S}
 Does not mean they have disappeared. <emp>Meet Orta in the Assembly</emp>{S}
 You have returned?{S}
 Y-you haven't gone to the inn... have you?{S}
 What do you know about the Urn of Sacred Ashes?{S}
 You do?{S}
 He was very devoted to his quest for the Urn of Sacred Ashes and spent many hours buried in his books and his notes.{S}
 Do be careful...{S}
 I just had some questions.{S}
 Keep your nose out of my business.{S}
 I have killed your men and yet you lie!{S}
 Mother wanted me to go to the Chant... but she does not get to tell me what to do anymore!{S}
 Do you know Brother Genitivi?{S}
 Why do you have male priests?{S}
 And I do not care neither.{S}
 Lowlanders do not belong here.{S}
 Do not know.{S}
 Do you know what that is?{S}
 I do not have time to amuse you, child.{S}
 You are going to be in trouble when they find you.{S}
 I wonder if the Father will let me have it.{S}
 You are not going to find anything over there.{S}
 Do you hear them chanting?{S}
 You should join them.{S}
 You do not know what made that sound, do you?{S}
 Why did you bring me here?{S}
 I bet you are a clever boy.{S}
 What do you know about Haven?{S}
 Haven is Haven, but I have a secret.{S}
 Do you want to see?{S}
 Never mind. <desc>The boy pulls out something from his pocket and shows it to you: A finger-bone, bleached white by the sun and polished through constant handling.</desc>{S}
 Do not know.{S}
 I keep it with me.{S}
 Do not tell anyone, all right?{S}
 Er... who did that belong to?{S}
 Where did you get that?{S}
 What are you doing in Haven?{S}
 I think you have quite outstayed your welcome, stranger.{S}
 I have never heard of this.{S}
 It has always been thus in Haven.{S}
 We do not question tradition.{S}
 Have you heard of the Urn of Sacred Ashes?{S}
 No, you do not.{S}
 I would have been informed if someone was expecting... a visitor.{S}
 We do not appreciate lowlanders "looking about" our home as though it were some sort of zoo.{S}
 I have business here.{S}
 I suggest you seek your brother elsewhere.{S}
 I just needed some things.{S}
 I do not see how that is any of your concern.{S}
 I will just take a peek.{S}
 You have no right!{S}
 I am making it my concern.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 We were just about done here anyway.{S}
 But your Reverence, we have not completed the Sacraments of the Holy Mother or... or sung the Invocation--{S}
 Seek out Steward Bandelor{S}
 We have an honored guest.{S}
 There was no need to end the sermon.{S}
 You have come all this way chasing a myth?{S}
 You will not find it in Haven.{S}
 We find outsiders... disruptive.{S}
 They bring others, and before long, Haven is changed.{S}
 You understand a man's need to protect his family, do not you?{S}
 What will you do then?{S}
 I heard we had a visitor wandering about the village.{S}
 I trust you have enjoyed your time in Haven so far?{S}
 I found bloodstained altars.{S}
 This, my brothers, is what happens when you let an outsider into the village.{S}
 They have no respect for our privacy.{S}
 She will tell others of us if we let her.{S}
 He will tell others of us if we let him.{S}
 You, stranger, do not understand our ways.{S}
 You would bring war to Haven, in your ignorance.{S}
 What have you done to him?{S}
 You are right about me bringing war on you.{S}
 I do not have to tell anyone.{S}
 We could work something out.{S}
 We do not owe you any explanations for our actions.{S}
 We have a sacred duty; failure to protect Her would be a greater sin.{S}
 Brothers, you know what must be done.{S}
 We have learned not to trust outsiders.{S}
 What sort of welcome do you expect when you break into our homes and kill one of us?{S}
 This is why we do not like... "visitors."{S}
 They will do us harm if we let them.{S}
 Well, perhaps you should have done your exploring elsewhere, and not in our homes.{S}
 And now you try to shift the blame.{S}
 What sort of welcome do you expect when you break into our homes uninvited?{S}
 What have you done to Brother Genitivi?{S}
 It would not have come to this if you would been more helpful.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 The only thing that can be done is to return later... without my presence.{S}
 If it is me that keeps her from appearing, you will have your chance.{S}
 If it is not, then I do not want to be present for what will surely follow.{S}
 Come, let us not linger here.{S}
 I have no idea, to tell you the truth.{S}
 She simply does not wish to speak to us.{S}
 I thought you intended to keep it for yourself?{S}
 No matter.{S}
 I am glad you were able to find it after all.{S}
 I shall begin studying it immediately and unlock the power that it holds.{S}
 Did you find it?{S}
 Despite the fact that I need it to protect myself from Flemeth in the future, hm?{S}
 I cannot ask for more than you have done, after all.{S}
 Keep the book, if you think it will do you good.{S}
 No one has ever... thank you.{S}
 We are hopefully free of any further pressing obligations involving my protection.{S}
 Let us return to the road, shall we?{S}
 Or perhaps you have something more... personal in mind?{S}
 But I shall have to practice a little, first.{S}
 Well, then... let us start with something simple.{S}
 Lead on.{S}
 Perhaps we might have an opportunity to go back and look for it?{S}
 My dirty work?{S}
 I suppose that I should consider it no small mercy, then, that you did the deed regardless of what you thought of it.{S}
 You did nothing?{S}
 Did you tell her what I discovered?{S}
 Why do you lie?{S}
 Where do you think she went?{S}
 You are free.{S}
 Yes, but I intend to keep it for myself.{S}
 Can we get back to business, now?{S}
 Your dirty work is done.{S}
 I do not have any news.{S}
 I did not find her. <desc>Sigh</desc> The leg's not doing so well and... and I can not feel my foot.{S}
 I get the point.{S}
 Can I do anything for you? <desc>Coughs</desc> Thank you.{S}
 I am sorry, but I do not know what to do about that.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 We will get you fixed up in no time.{S}
 With King Alistair comes strength, and with Queen Anora, wisdom, and nothing, not even darkspawn, will prevail against the strength of a Ferelden united under their rule.{S}
 Morrigan, can you do anything?{S}
 I have some bandages.{S}
 I can set the leg and ease some of the pain, but he will need a lot of rest in order to heal.{S}
 The foot... may have to come off.{S}
 I do not have time to rest now.{S}
 I have been there.{S}
 No, we have to get you back to Denerim where it is safe.{S}
 Take me to the mountainside, and I will show you.{S}
 Eirik wears a medallion that opens the temple door...{S}
 I have seen what he does with it.{S}
 I killed Eirik, but found no medallion.{S}
 I need to find the Ashes.{S}
 Arl Eamon gets sicker by the day.{S}
 It is not that far and... will you let me lean on you?{S}
 I will try not to slow us down.{S}
 Are you sure you can make the journey?{S}
 Let us leave now.{S}
 First let me make sure it is safe outside.{S}
 Tell me how to open the door.{S}
 I want to make sure it is safe outside.{S}
 There are many more villagers than the one's you have already dealt with. <desc>Sigh</desc> Very well.{S}
 Since you will not let me help, I will return to my home in Denerim.{S}
 They caught me well before I reached the mountain.{S}
 I will be able to make it to one of the trade routes.{S}
 What do I do with this?{S}
 You mean you do not know?{S}
 That should be easy to find.{S}
 I will take it from here.{S}
 How will you make it back to Denerim?{S}
 Do you know how to unlock the door in the mountain?{S}
 I came here to find you, not the Urn.{S}
 And you do?{S}
 Oh, what must I do then?{S}
 And you have found me.{S}
 I did not know about the key till I heard Eirik speak of it, till I saw what he did with it.{S}
 You dealt with Eirik.{S}
 Did you find a medallion on him?{S}
 I will show you, if you bring it to me.{S}
 Haven lies in the shadow of the mountain that holds the Urn.{S}
 There is an old temple there, built to protect it.{S}
 My research led me to Haven... and I have heard the villagers talking.{S}
 How do you know?{S}
 Please... the weeks I have spent here have made me crotchety.{S}
 I need your help.{S}
 They take great pains to keep it well-hidden.{S}
 I suppose it is not my time... though I have begged for death several times over the past few... nggh!{S}
 You do not know how glad I am to see someone who is not from this village.{S}
 Days like today really show me how much age has caught up with me...{S}
 Well, then I suppose you do not need me.{S}
 It is incredible that you found one so like it.{S}
 I have... never received a gift, not one which did not come at a price.{S}
 I have... never received a gift.{S}
 Not one that did not also come with a price attached.{S}
 Perhaps there is a price to pay, yet? <desc>Chuckles</desc> If so, 'tis deserved.{S}
 Yet I have nothing that is not also yours.{S}
 That which has value should be appreciated.{S}
 If Flemeth allowed you to leave with this grimoire then surely 'tis less than worthless!{S}
 I cared for you.{S}
 And now look what you have done.{S}
 And now, look what you have done!{S}
 I told you the truth of what I found in that book, of what Flemeth intends for me.{S}
 I must leave you now and... deal with Flemeth myself.{S}
 Certainly I had hoped to avoid this particular alternative.{S}
 I no longer trust you, nor am I confident I even have the luxury of time any longer.{S}
 I would have preferred if you had simply refused to help me at all, but thank you.{S}
 And 'tis Flemeth whom you believe has no reason to deceive you?{S}
 And how did that stop you from acting?{S}
 What did she tell you that was so easily believed that you condemn me so?{S}
 Let me say that I am very thankful for what you have done, then, and much relieved.{S}
 Yes, I have no doubt that 'twas so, despite the necessity.{S}
 Unless you did not slay her after all.{S}
 Did you do nothing?{S}
 Did you tell her what I discovered?{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 I brought you her grimoire.{S}
 I did what I thought was best.{S}
 Maybe you should have done that to start with.{S}
 Wait, do not go.{S}
 I will help you once I have the time.{S}
 I did not need to tell her anything.{S}
 Master Wade in Denerim's Market District can make amazing drake scale armor if you give him enough drake scales.{S}
 He seems positively eager to do so.{S}
 Master Wade is crafting your drake scale armor free of charge.{S}
 It may take some time, though.{S}
 You have refused Morrigan's help and have told her that you want no part in her ritual.{S}
 Alistair has agreed to perform the ritual with Morrigan.{S}
 Tonight, he will join with her to conceive a child that will become a vessel for the essence of an Old God.{S}
 I was hoping you could answer some questions I have.{S}
 What do you know about Haven and its people?{S}
 What were the villagers doing with you?{S}
 Why does Haven have revered fathers?{S}
 I found his body in your basement.{S}
 They had him killed; an imposter was put in his place.{S}
 I assume you are actually asking whether Flemeth herself gave birth to me.{S}
 Truly, I do not know.{S}
 As I said, you cannot make progress if you do not have the key to the temple.{S}
 You do not have the medallion yet.{S}
 Perhaps the Maker has performed a miracle.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 It is possible that the villagers--the Disciples of Andraste--predate the Chantry, and so have no knowledge of the Chantry's rules.{S}
 They seemed intent on finding out personal information about me.{S}
 They must have been planning to do with me what they did to Weylon.{S}
 Just as they did with Weylon... they must have been close to killing me, then.{S}
 I can see it in your eyes... they killed him, did not they?{S}
 I mentioned it when I got here, which was probably what got me captured, and then it was never mentioned again.{S}
 Did they ask you about your search for the Urn?{S}
 Found his body stuffed in a box.{S}
 Master Wade finished your set of drake scale armor.{S}
 Master Wade will happily craft more armor for you, if you can provide him with the scales. <emp>Acquire drake scales for drake scale armor</emp>{S}
 You have provided Master Wade with even more drake scales and he is making you another set.{S}
 Even the exacting Master Wade is proud of the second set of drake scale armor he made you.{S}
 You did not persuade Baizyl to fight for Harrowmont again.{S}
 You did not get Gwiddon to fight for Harrowmont. <emp>Find out why Gwiddon will not fight in the Provings</emp>{S}
 One of Harrowmont's representatives in the Proving, Gwiddon, has decided to drop out.{S}
 If you could find out why, and persuade him to fight again, it would certainly help Harrowmont's cause.{S}
 Apparently, Gwiddon heard that Harrowmont had given up on the throne and Gwiddon did not want to be seen supporting a loser because it would shame both him and his family.{S}
 You let Gwiddon know that Harrowmont had no intention of conceding to Bhelen, and he has agreed to crack some skulls in the Proving for Harrowmont.{S}
 Ah, yes... the decorative carvings are less intricate, but have a more fluid form...{S}
 And there... a key to open the way.{S}
 Now... where does this go?{S}
 It looks different opened up like that.{S}
 All those long years has led up to this very moment...{S}
 It may have been passed down through the generations from the first people who built the temple.{S}
 The carving is worn but still clear, after all these years. <emp>Find out why Baizyl will not fight</emp>{S}
 Baizyl Harrowmont, one of Harrowmont's fighters, has decided not to fight for Harrowmont in the Provings.{S}
 You should try to find out why.{S}
 Baizyl was having an affair with an Aeducan girl, Revelka, even when Revelka was promised to another man.{S}
 Myaja, one of Bhelen's fighters, has found these letters and is going to expose Baizyl and his love unless he stays out of the Provings.{S}
 Perhaps my destiny was only to lead <emp>you</emp> to the Urn.{S}
 You have found the letters Myaja was blackmailing Baizyl with.{S}
 Baizyl will be overjoyed to have these returned to him.{S}
 Is there anything else I need to know about the temple?{S}
 I will be right here if you need me.{S}
 Try not to get in trouble.{S}
 I think my decision to stay here was the best one, do not you?{S}
 I would love to see it all, but I do not know if I ever will.{S}
 Did you discover something fascinating within the temple?{S}
 You have been a great help.{S}
 The smell... let us leave as soon as possible.{S}
 You do not have the right to demand my name.{S}
 I find it more difficult to imagine her with child.{S}
 As a matter of fact, I remember her being younger once.{S}
 She had black hair much like my own, long and lustrous.{S}
 Has she become wizened only recently?{S}
 It seems likely, does it not?{S}
 In an animal form a babe could easily be spirited away and raised as Flemeth's own.{S}
 Flemeth is unique in her fashion, providing that the tales of her legend are as she claims... and she claims little.{S}
 I do know the tales of Flemeth having many daughters, even though I have never met another.{S}
 And Flemeth has always treated me as her blood.{S}
 I would have nothing in common with them, nor any need for what they might provide.{S}
 Flemeth taught me everything I needed to learn.{S}
 If other mothers do not teach these things, then I believe them the lesser.{S}
 Take a man such as yourself.{S}
 Surely a Grey Warden such as yourself does not believe otherwise?{S}
 I shall take this as a compliment.{S}
 Could she have stolen you as a child?{S}
 She does not seem very "motherly."{S}
 Does that mean you love her?{S}
 What if you have real family out there?{S}
 Now I see where you get it from.{S}
 The righteous do not fear death.{S}
 I do not wish to talk.{S}
 Tell me your name, and I will tell you why am I here.{S}
 The prophet Andraste has overcome death itself and has returned to Her faithful in a form more radiant than you can imagine!{S}
 What hope do you have?{S}
 What did I have to compare it with?{S}
 In time I began to wonder, of course.{S}
 I did so in animal form, remaining in the shadows and watching these strange townsfolk from afar.{S}
 I happened upon a noblewoman by her carriage, adorned in sparkling garments the likes of which I had never before seen.{S}
 I saw what I desired and I took it.{S}
 Such a concept did not even exist to me.{S}
 I was a child and had not yet come into my full power, and I had risked discovery for the sake of a pretty bauble.{S}
 To teach me a lesson, Flemeth took the mirror and smashed it upon the ground.{S}
 Beauty and love are fleeting and have no meaning.{S}
 Survival has meaning.{S}
 Power has meaning.{S}
 Without those lessons I would not be here today, as difficult as they might have been.{S}
 Take yourself.{S}
 You do not honestly desire such things from me, do you?{S}
 'Tis better to be free of such cloying and cluttering delusions as love.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 Let us move on, shall we?{S}
 I do not consider it a limitation.{S}
 Not leaping into a burning building also happens to be an experience best avoided.{S}
 Are you going to teach me differently? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Let us move on, shall we? <desc>Chuckles</desc> If only men would always act accordingly when properly forewarned.{S}
 But have it your way.{S}
 Well, we all have our weaknesses, do not we?{S}
 Considering your situation you would do well to remember that.{S}
 And did they speak back?{S}
 I have a hard time picturing you heartbroken.{S}
 But you do not need to live that way any longer.{S}
 They made you stronger, did not they?{S}
 No I certainly do not want that from you.{S}
 And what if I did want that?{S}
 I do, in fact, believe otherwise.{S}
 I cannot let this continue.{S}
 And what has happened to the Ashes?{S}
 I have come for the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 I have come to make sure you never hurt anyone again.{S}
 An old temple must hold riches, yes?{S}
 They are still within this temple, but why do we need ashes when we serve the risen Andraste in all Her glory?{S}
 So you can give me the Urn then?{S}
 You did this all for an ancient relic?{S}
 We are Her Chosen!{S}
 No, your Andraste will fall before me, as others have.{S}
 Hmm... perhaps there is a way for you to make up for your desecration of our home and temple.{S}
 You treat the Ashes with such disdain.{S}
 There is no need to feel sorry for me.{S}
 Do I not?{S}
 I am still an apostate mage, even if I have left the Wilds.{S}
 They did, indeed.{S}
 They have nothing compared to the power we draw from the living Andraste.{S}
 Perhaps... perhaps there is something you can do for us.{S}
 I need to find the Urn.{S}
 I think I shall defeat this Andraste and take this power.{S}
 Then you should have no qualms about giving them to me.{S}
 You have gone too far.{S}
 But... perhaps there is a way to make up for your recent transgressions.{S}
 Allow me to introduce myself: I am Father Kolgrim.{S}
 I lead the Disciples of Andraste.{S}
 Just say what you have to say.{S}
 Why should you care what they forbid?{S}
 I suppose that makes sense.{S}
 I have a bad feeling about this.{S}
 But such was how it had to be.{S}
 I find myself at times wondering what might have become of the girl with the beautiful, golden mirror... but such fantasies have no place amidst reality.{S}
 The Chantry only seeks power.{S}
 No, I cannot allow such talk to continue.{S}
 The Chantry offers guidance to so many!{S}
 Your Chantry does not know the Maker better than any other man, woman, or child.{S}
 Why should I care?{S}
 Then we cannot allow you to leave here.{S}
 I am sorry, but I cannot do what you want.{S}
 I still do not think I can do this thing.{S}
 The holy Andraste wishes us to reclaim Her Ashes for Her, but the Guardian has always stopped us.{S}
 Whether or not the Chantry forbids it, blood magic is a destructive, corrupting force you would do well to steer clear of.{S}
 Athras has died, and his hopes with him.{S}
 Also know that the Ashes have healing properties.{S}
 Our Andraste has gone to the Maker's side.{S}
 Let us not waste time.{S}
 How do I get to the Urn?{S}
 Why have they fallen for this ridiculous lie?{S}
 Let us assume that this imaginary good side exists.{S}
 What exactly would be the benefit for you to "get on it?"{S}
 Do I not smile enough to suit you?{S}
 Perhaps you have mistaken me for a djinn?{S}
 Perhaps you do.{S}
 I have a few other words you might try spelling as well.{S}
 But have it your way.{S}
 Do I really have to spell it out?{S}
 If you are going to play games, forget it.{S}
 You only need a small pinch for that.{S}
 But I need the Ashes to cure a sick man.{S}
 I do not think I could do this.{S}
 Let me see.{S}
 Perhaps you would be willing to pay a compliment?{S}
 Is that too much, hm? <desc>Laughs</desc> I suppose I did not specify that I wanted it <emp>myself</emp>, did I?{S}
 I suppose stating the obvious will have to do.{S}
 You spoil all the fun, do not you?{S}
 Something worked for is something valued, after all.{S}
 If you cannot even say what you want, why should I give it to you?{S}
 Simple I can work with.{S}
 Best watch your step that you do not fall off.{S}
 Then I will simply have to apologize.{S}
 I do not play well with others, I am afraid.{S}
 I can see why you might ask this, despite knowing the fate that she has in store for me.{S}
 But Flemeth herself taught me long ago: once you know your enemy, strike quickly and without mercy.{S}
 Were our positions reversed, she would no doubt do exactly the same.{S}
 I knew from the moment I read that tome that this is what she had intended from the start, old questions were suddenly answered.{S}
 You can have doubt if you wish.{S}
 I have none.{S}
 I do not know how much time I might have to find an alternative.{S}
 Do you have a suggestion?{S}
 Eventually Flemeth would find me, have no doubt of that.{S}
 And neither do I.{S}
 Make no mistake, without your help I would be forced to desperate measures.{S}
 I would need to flee at the very least, to find... something.{S}
 But thankfully I do not need to.{S}
 I have thought this through carefully.{S}
 I could create such a spell only if I knew the details of mother's ritual, and that would only be found in her true grimoire... which she will never give up.{S}
 Do you wish me to beg for your help now?{S}
 You may think this is a laughing matter.{S}
 I do not.{S}
 Then, please... end this waiting and deal with her as soon as you can.{S}
 I do.{S}
 The only question, then, is whether or not you intend to carry through with your promise.{S}
 Please do so as soon as possible... the waiting is driving me nearly mad.{S}
 Now I have time enough to study Mother's grimoire to find a way to prevent her from stealing my body in the future.{S}
 I have no doubt of that.{S}
 And again, if need be.{S}
 But there is no need to think of such things now.{S}
 I have you to thank for saving me, so let us... return to the task of dealing with the darkspawn, no?{S}
 We should... we have no idea what will happen in days to come... to talk of such things now.{S}
 I... you should not be so... you have no idea what will happen in days to come, to make such promises.{S}
 That is the last thing I would have thought, considering our relationship.{S}
 You... too much could happen in days to come to... make such promises.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 There is much to be done before... there is still much to be done.{S}
 Now I have time to find a some way to prevent Flemeth from stealing my body in the future, even without her grimoire.{S}
 I am not trying to court you.{S}
 I just want us to get along, that is all.{S}
 Then I do not know.{S}
 You have already made up your mind.{S}
 Find help.{S}
 And what would you do if I did not help you?{S}
 No, I do not want that.{S}
 You do not need to get angry.{S}
 I have decided not to.{S}
 I will deal with Flemeth, as I said I would.{S}
 I can not do this.{S}
 I did not expect to see you so soon, my friend.{S}
 Do you bring good news?{S}
 It seems I shall have the limp for the rest of my days, but at least I have my life.{S}
 I found the Urn.{S}
 I have spoken to the Chantry.{S}
 I am to lead them!{S}
 We are to study the temple and open the way for pilgrims.{S}
 I have dreamed of this for so long.{S}
 Did... did you find it?{S}
 Yes, I found the Urn.{S}
 And if I can ask, have you... gone to see the arl?{S}
 I have heard no news.{S}
 Arl Eamon has been cured by the Ashes.{S}
 I have not gone to see him yet.{S}
 You are getting married, and so is Soris!{S}
 No need to say it.{S}
 I can read your intentions from your expression.{S}
 Do you take me for a fool?{S}
 Let us not drag this out further.{S}
 We have had our time together.{S}
 She cannot take that away from us.{S}
 But now 'tis done, yes?{S}
 Now let us not speak of this again. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Even if it did, would either of us notice?{S}
 We have better things to do than dwell on the past.{S}
 Let us not speak of this again.{S}
 You should have bedded me while you had the chance.{S}
 Nevertheless, all that is done now, yes?{S}
 Better to have us both and not ask questions, yes?{S}
 I do not know how else to describe it.{S}
 I am reminded of our first meeting in the Wilds.{S}
 I had been in animal form for some time, watching your progress.{S}
 I found you intriguing.{S}
 I am aware that I have... little talent for forming friendships.{S}
 To put it lightly.{S}
 'Tis something I know nothing of, nor ever thought I needed.{S}
 Yet when I discovered Flemeth's plans, you did not abandon me.{S}
 Whatever your reasons you fought what must have been a terrible battle without hope of real reward.{S}
 No one has ever... 'twas unexpected, that is all.{S}
 And that is what I do not understand.{S}
 Of all the things I could have imagined would have resulted when Flemeth told me to go with you, the very last would have been that I would find in you a friend.{S}
 I want you to know that while I may not always prove... worthy... of your friendship, I will always value it.{S}
 I have been with men physically, those who lusted after me and even professed love... but friendship with a man?{S}
 I did not know 'twas even possible.{S}
 Have you ever considered it?{S}
 I had to ask, of course.{S}
 I simply had to ask.{S}
 Of all the things I could have imagined when Flemeth told me to go with you, this would be the very last.{S}
 As do I.{S}
 We are not in camp, so come... let us continue what we were doing.{S}
 The extent of my usefulness does not explain the interest and kindness you have shown since the Wilds.{S}
 You could as easily have ignored me entirely, yet you did not.{S}
 You will need to forgive me for speaking so awkwardly... but do you suppose that we have become friends, you and I?{S}
 I have nothing to compare it to.{S}
 Then I have misspoken.{S}
 Still, it has been pleasant enough to travel with you.{S}
 Knowing that we are not friends will make it easier, in the end... to part.{S}
 There are more useful things to be done, surely.{S}
 Of that I have little doubt.{S}
 Of course you did.{S}
 I am not given to introspection.{S}
 In fact, we need not discuss it at all.{S}
 I notice that you are spending a great deal of time with that girl.{S}
 Do you not?{S}
 My point is that you and I have shared a bed together.{S}
 It seems hardly fitting to have you doting upon that girl at the very same time, does it?{S}
 Perhaps you should make that suggestion to Leliana.{S}
 Or towards me, for that matter.{S}
 I suddenly find myself acting the possessive wife.{S}
 I do not enjoy it, and I have little doubt that 'tis just as unappealing to you.{S}
 The crux of the matter is this: I do not share.{S}
 If you wish to pursue that girl, that means you do not wish to pursue me.{S}
 Perhaps you have no real interest in me.{S}
 I do not believe so.{S}
 I do not wish to lay claim to you simply because we have been intimate.{S}
 It was what it was, and if that is to end, then so be it.{S}
 Make your choice and let us be done with it.{S}
 Then you will need to say that to Leliana.{S}
 And before I forget my original thought, I have something for you.{S}
 I simply needed to know if there was any point.{S}
 I do not wish to appear the fool, after all.{S}
 There is no need for apologies.{S}
 If she is what you desire, then let us dispense with any further pretense of romance.{S}
 Go, and do as you wish.{S}
 Now, before you get any foolish notions, let me explain.{S}
 Flemeth once gave me the ring because it allowed her to find me no matter where I went, in case I was ever captured by hunters.{S}
 Now, I will be able to find whoever wears it instead.{S}
 If you were to get captured, however, it would be far easier to find you with this.{S}
 'Tis not given out of sentimentality.{S}
 If you were captured, this ring would allow the rest of us to find you quickly.{S}
 Flemeth used to say that 'twas a link between us, one that I presumed worked both ways.{S}
 I never tested it, but I doubt she would have lied over such a thing.{S}
 I... do not know.{S}
 Perhaps 'twas foolish of me to offer it.{S}
 I... have no desire to see us part company so soon.{S}
 Do not read more into it than is there.{S}
 You have supplied me with equipment, certainly this is not so very different, is it?{S}
 Do you wish the ring or not?{S}
 I am tempted to simply keep it.{S}
 Obviously I have an ulterior motive, passing you a dangerous magical object on the sly.{S}
 Then here, take it.{S}
 And let us not speak of it further.{S}
 I mean that I have a gift for you.{S}
 No need to say what?{S}
 This will not cause problems between you two?{S}
 It is done.{S}
 Why would I do that?{S}
 I did it because I am your friend.{S}
 I have considered it, yes.{S}
 I... do not think so, Morrigan.{S}
 I do.{S}
 I did it because I need you here.{S}
 Do not get gushy.{S}
 I needed a mage.{S}
 Did you have your first feeling?{S}
 I do not like the way you say "that girl."{S}
 Perhaps she could join us.{S}
 I will not have you talking about Leliana like that.{S}
 You needed my commitment first?{S}
 I care for Leliana deeply.{S}
 Why do you think I would want this?{S}
 Does it do anything else?{S}
 So I could find you, if need be?{S}
 How do I know I can trust you?{S}
 So you are giving it to me purely out of practicality?{S}
 I am glad to see you care.{S}
 I cannot imagine what you begin to see in her.{S}
 Is not this what friends are supposed to do?{S}
 He has his charms, I will give him that.{S}
 Have I?{S}
 We get along well enough in that department, thank you.{S}
 Oh, you have no idea.{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 Does that make you unhappy?{S}
 'Tis a bit sickening to watch you two, but I imagine it at least takes your mind from our... situation.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 You would be best to keep your guard up... while enjoying yourself, of course. <desc>You see a large stone tablet, chipped with age, with a great number of dwarven runes carved into its surface.</desc>{S}
 Do not... look at me!{S}
 Do not want... to hurt you, lethallan.{S}
 Do not want... to hurt you, lethallin.{S}
 You do not... know who that is, do you?{S}
 Do not... do not come near me!{S}
 Do not be afraid.{S}
 I wish we would never found that cave.{S}
 Do not ask me to kill you.{S}
 I can not do that.{S}
 I have to try and heal you, Tamlen!{S}
 Let me save you some time.{S}
 My name is Zevran.{S}
 I am a member of the Antivan Crows, brought here for the sole purpose of slaying any surviving Grey Wardens.{S}
 Which I have failed at, sadly.{S}
 Then unless you are quite stuck on cutting my throat or something equally gruesome, perhaps you would care to hear a proposal?{S}
 Then unless you are quite stuck on cutting my throat or something equally gruesome, perhaps you would care to hear that proposal I mentioned earlier?{S}
 Besides, someone in your position can not take these things so personally, can you?{S}
 I wasn't paid for silence.{S}
 Not that I offered it for sale, precisely.{S}
 As it is, if you are done with the interrogation, I have a proposal for you.{S}
 Consider it something I am throwing in for free.{S}
 If you wish, and you are done interrogating me, we can discuss it further.{S}
 All I ask is that you do not eat my remains or anything... barbaric.{S}
 I have nightmares about that sort of thing.{S}
 No, I will not do that.{S}
 Believe me, it sounds like an excellent offer.{S}
 But if I leave here without you dead, the Crows will be on me probably before I could even get to Denerim.{S}
 It would not be right, given the circumstances.{S}
 I will certainly do that, though it is a slower death rather than a quicker one.{S}
 I shall take my leave of you, then.{S}
 I trust we shall not meet again.{S}
 Until we meet again.{S}
 Until we meet again.{S}
 That is how it works.{S}
 If you do not kill me, the Crows will.{S}
 And you obviously are the sort to give the Crows pause.{S}
 So let me serve you, instead.{S}
 Because I am skilled at many things, from fighting to stealth and picking locks.{S}
 I could also warn you should the Antivan Crows attempt something more... sophisticated... now that my attempts have failed.{S}
 I do wonderful at parties, no?{S}
 Well... let us see.{S}
 Being allowed to live would be nice, and would make me marginally more useful to you.{S}
 And somewhere down the line if you should decide that you no longer have need of me, then I go on my way.{S}
 But there are worse things in life than serving the whims of a deadly sex goddess.{S}
 Let me re-phrase that.{S}
 I am <emp>hoping</emp> that you are the sort of fellow that takes a chance every now and again.{S}
 To be completely honest, I was never given much of a choice regarding joining the Crows.{S}
 They bought me on the slave market when I was a child.{S}
 I think I have paid my worth back to them, plus tenfold.{S}
 The only way out, however, is to sign up with someone they can not touch.{S}
 Even if I did kill you now, they might kill me just on principle for failing the first time.{S}
 Honestly, I would rather take my chances with you.{S}
 Not that you seem to need much help.{S}
 And if not.... well, it is not as if I had many alternatives to start with, is it?{S}
 I mean, unless you are the sort who would do the same thing.{S}
 In which case I... do not come very well recommended, I suppose.{S}
 We are taking the elf?!{S}
 Having an Antivan Crow join us sounds like a fine plan.{S}
 You are taking the assassin with us now?{S}
 Does that really seem like a good idea?{S}
 Do not mind me, just a peon in your command structure here, wallowing in my insignificance.{S}
 We could apparently use a swift kick in the head, too, but you do not see me going around asking for one.{S}
 I... well, no, I suppose we could use whatever help we can get.{S}
 Loghain, I think his name was?{S}
 I wasn't paid anything.{S}
 The Crows, however, were paid quite handsomely.{S}
 Which does make me about as poor as a chantry mouse, come to think of it.{S}
 Well, aside from a distinct lack of ambition I suppose it is because I wasn't given much of a choice.{S}
 The Crows bought me young.{S}
 I was a bargain, too, or so I am led to believe.{S}
 But do not let my sad story influence you.{S}
 They keep one well supplied: Wine, women, men.{S}
 Though the whole severance package is garbage, let me tell you.{S}
 If you were considering joining, I would really think twice about it.{S}
 I am sure you have other options.{S}
 I am sure you have other options.{S}
 If I had succeeded, I would have returned home and the Crows would have informed your Loghain of the results... if he did not already know.{S}
 If I had failed, I would be dead.{S}
 No need to see Loghain then.{S}
 Although the chances of succeeding at this point seem a bit slim, do not they?{S}
 No, I do not suppose you would find that funny, would you?{S}
 I have no idea what his issues are with you.{S}
 I was in the neighborhood when the offer came.{S}
 The Crows get around, you see.{S}
 Is that what you Fereldans do?{S}
 That makes sense.{S}
 Very powerful, and renowned for always getting the job done... so to speak.{S}
 For me, however, it sets a rather poor precedent, does not it?{S}
 Getting captured by a target seems a tad detrimental to one's budding assassin career.{S}
 So it is questions you have for me, is it?{S}
 While I do enjoy a good beating from a handsome brute, let me save you a bit of time and get right to the point.{S}
 But if it is questions you are planning on asking me, let me save you a little time and get right to the point.{S}
 In that case, despite the potential for fun, perhaps I will save you a bit of time and get right to the point.{S}
 Ohhh, so you kept me around to have a bit of fun, did you?{S}
 Of that I have no doubt.{S}
 If you haven't killed me, however, you must have kept me alive for some purpose, yes? <desc>Chuckles</desc> It is my way, or so I am told.{S}
 Let us see, then.{S}
 I assume you kept me alive to ask me some questions, yes?{S}
 If so, let me save you time and get right to the point. <desc>The elven assassin is wounded and unconscious, but alive.{S}
 All right, I am done with the questions.{S}
 You tried to kill me!{S}
 Were you paid to talk my ear off, then?{S}
 I want you to serve me.{S}
 I will make this quick. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 I have a new job for you.{S}
 You can serve me, instead.{S}
 Then I suppose I will make this quick. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 I do not care what you do, just do not return.{S}
 I am not done questioning you, yet.{S}
 Make it quick.{S}
 What do you want in return?{S}
 I accept your offer.{S}
 Collecting cast-offs is what I do.{S}
 We are taking him because I say so.{S}
 End of story.{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 We could use him.{S}
 If you want to kill him, Alistair, then you do it.{S}
 I refuse your offer.{S}
 How much were you paid?{S}
 I will take that under advisement.{S}
 When were you to see him next? <emp>If</emp> you had failed?{S}
 Does that mean you are loyal to Loghain?{S}
 And now that you have failed that service?{S}
 You found Brother Genitivi.{S}
 Genitivi says that to enter the temple in the mountain, you need to obtain Eirik's medallion.{S}
 Brother Genitivi led you to the temple entrance and will show you how Eirik's medallion opens the door. <emp>Brave the gauntlet</emp>{S}
 You have learned that to reach the Urn of Sacred Ashes, you need to undergo a test of faith.{S}
 If you survive, you will have proven yourself worthy. <emp>Find the Urn</emp>{S}
 Brother Genitivi, the scholar who was trying to track down Andraste's final resting place, has gone missing.{S}
 His assistant, Weylon, hasn't heard from him since he set off to follow a lead on the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 The Redcliffe knights that were looking for Brother Genitivi have also not returned.{S}
 Weylon believes that Genitivi's research may have led him into danger.{S}
 It is fortunate that you appeared when you did. <emp>Find a finger-bone token and infiltrate Jarvia's hideout</emp>{S}
 You have learned that Jarvia's carta base is underneath Dust Town.{S}
 The doors that lead into the base are hidden and you need a special finger-bone token to enter.{S}
 Obtain a finger-bone token and use it to gain entrance to Jarvia's hideout.{S}
 Your willingness to make amends is... something.{S}
 And yet imagine me not caring what you have to say on the topic.{S}
 Let us continue on that note, shall we?{S}
 Put quite that way, I cannot imagine a single reason why I would not.{S}
 Then my enthusiasm for your apology shall match the effort which was made for it.{S}
 I take it this is supposed to change something?{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 I can easily put such matters behind me.{S}
 Consider it done... this once.{S}
 Then why bring it up?{S}
 Let us not speak of it again.{S}
 Then do not accept my apology.{S}
 Do not you have a wedding to prepare for?{S}
 Just think about what the humans would do to her out there.{S}
 Do you want to see her suffer?{S}
 And, if we do not stick up for each other, who will?{S}
 I thought we raised you better than that. <desc>Sigh</desc>{S}
 The smuggler Rogek needs you to take a shipment of lyrium to the Circle of Magi.{S}
 His contact there is a mage named Godwin.{S}
 Rogek was pleased to hear that his shipment made it to Godwin.{S}
 You managed to find Godwin, despite the chaos in the Circle Tower.{S}
 The lyrium is now in his hands, and it is time to tell Rogek that you are done with your side of the bargain.{S}
 You have nothing to fear from me.{S}
 I have killed Kolgrim and I will kill you too.{S}
 Why do you have a revered father?{S}
 You have entered Jarvia's hideout.{S}
 I am to hang on your every mood whether or not I may get a word in edge-wise?{S}
 I should have expected it sooner or later.{S}
 I should have expected this, sooner or later.{S}
 You and I have been intimate, for one.{S}
 We have been... close... for some time now.{S}
 If this is "love" I wish to ascertain that you do not feel the same.{S}
 You need to pay attention.{S}
 What I am saying is that I have been foolish.{S}
 I have allowed myself to become... too close.{S}
 Then we are both fools, and we need to do something immediately.{S}
 I have allowed myself to become... too close.{S}
 It will make it... easier... in the end, trust me.{S}
 Now let us return to the task at hand.{S}
 Do not be such a fool!{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 But I will tell you truly now: You will regret it in the end.{S}
 We enjoy each other's company, why make it more than it is?{S}
 I think you will regret it in the end... but so be it.{S}
 That will make this much easier.{S}
 "I do not love you."{S}
 This can only lead to no good, and I think it already has.{S}
 I warned you, did I not?{S}
 I do, and yet...{S}
 I have no experience with any of it.{S}
 And yet I find myself wanting it.{S}
 Yes you do.{S}
 Yet you... bring out that desire in me.{S}
 Tell me that you wish to end this.{S}
 Make me believe you and I... will be grateful.{S}
 If I am, 'tis because you make me so.{S}
 And it will be... easier to do what I must.{S}
 Do you need to get this hostile?{S}
 You do it.{S}
 Are you trying to pick a fight?{S}
 This came out of nowhere, did not it?{S}
 And if I do love you?{S}
 Then let us end this right here and now.{S}
 I think you are getting a bit ahead of yourself.{S}
 If that is what you really want, then let us end it.{S}
 It does not have to get that complicated.{S}
 Do not talk like that.{S}
 No, I certainly do not love you.{S}
 I do not love you.{S}
 I do not want to hurt you, Morrigan...{S}
 But I do care for you.{S}
 Do you really want to stop?{S}
 I do not want to hurt you, Morrigan.{S}
 I do not need these sorts of games.{S}
 I think we should end this.{S}
 I really do.{S}
 I do not want this to end.{S}
 I can not do that if you are with me.{S}
 I can not ask you to do that.{S}
 But I need you here. <emp>Find the Urn</emp>{S}
 Only dwarves are allowed into Orzammar.{S}
 They haven't let us in for weeks.{S}
 That is quite the hound you have there.{S}
 We have a few ourselves.{S}
 Brilliant breed--you are lucky to have one.{S}
 Smart dogs like that get bored.{S}
 Keep them busy, though, and you have got a companion for life.{S}
 Ah, we hear too much of that sort of thing these days, do not we?{S}
 I must get the hounds ready for battle.{S}
 Well, I would best get back to the others.{S}
 We need all our hounds ready for the battle.{S}
 I do not actually know much about mabari.{S}
 He is all I have left of my family, in fact.{S}
 How fortunate Maric did not live to see his son ready to hand Ferelden over to those who enslaved us for a century!{S}
 Grey Wardens battle the Blight, no matter where they are from.{S}
 There have been no signs of any dragons in the Wilds.{S}
 I wish there was more I could do for this hunter, but there is not.{S}
 If you can find a way to return this hunter's body to us, we would be grateful.{S}
 If you can find a way to aid in his return, we would be grateful.{S}
 I can not carry him.{S}
 I can not carry him.{S}
 Let those who cry out from the shadows be comforted.{S}
 Let those who seek redemption be delivered.{S}
 Let those who have sinned be forgiven.{S}
 And when the Chant spreads across all four corners of the world, let it rise at last to the ears of the Maker.{S}
 Let Him hear our unwavering faith.{S}
 Let Him hear our righteous dedication and enduring perseverance.{S}
 Let all mankind be humbled.{S}
 Let all repeat the Chant of Light.{S}
 There was no way to tell what would happen once you reached this ruin, so I decided to come myself.{S}
 I am a keeper, with access to powers your kind has long forgotten.{S}
 Did you?{S}
 Perhaps you could seek out other entities in the forest.{S}
 If not, then I know not what else can be done.{S}
 I am surprised you found one self-possessed enough to speak with you, never mind rhyme.{S}
 How did you get here?{S}
 Would not the forest keep you out?{S}
 Somehow I figured I would find you here.{S}
 Did not trust me, did you?{S}
 Too many have become lost within, unable to find their way out.{S}
 Were I you I would endeavor not to make the forest my enemy.{S}
 We can not do much with it, anyway.{S}
 If you came for a drink, you will have to talk to Lloyd.{S}
 He is got a vise grip on the spigots.{S}
 I am just here to keep the boys from mutiny.{S}
 Keep safe.{S}
 Keep safe, and come back anytime.{S}
 I did not know that.{S}
 Without the castle soldiers, the only customers we have are local.{S}
 And they are all in the militia, with no money to spend.{S}
 The few with any money are here, but it is not enough to justify working.{S}
 Lloyd's a greasy pig and if I did not need this job so badly...{S}
 What can you do?{S}
 Girls like me do not get much choice if we do not want to join the Chantry, and it is too late to get married.{S}
 With no money and no prospects, I would just end up somewhere else, working for someone worse.{S}
 What would I have to do in return?{S}
 You are a rare one, you are, making me laugh with this blackness hanging over our heads.{S}
 I will tell you what, sweetie: you make it through the night and you will get your kiss.{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 I do not really know what to say.{S}
 You think I am pretty, do you?{S}
 You brought it up, sweetie.{S}
 He gropes me and pays me next to nothing, but I suppose it could be worse.{S}
 Not like I got many options.{S}
 I did not mean anything by it.{S}
 No, no, that will just make things worse.{S}
 No, do not bother.{S}
 If I did not need this job, I would be long gone.{S}
 I would close up, but it gives the militia a place to take their minds off tonight.{S}
 Says his name's Berwick and he is here to meet his brother, but I think he is lying.{S}
 Lloyd's watered-down swill hasn't made you leave yet, I see.{S}
 I see you got that bastard Lloyd to join the militia.{S}
 It is about time he did something to help out.{S}
 I guess this... puts me in charge?{S}
 Poor Lloyd will have an apoplexy just thinking about it, heh.{S}
 These gents could use something to take their minds off tonight.{S}
 You just... keep us all safe, boys.{S}
 Lloyd would not care much for that...{S}
 Let me see what Lloyd stored in the back... you can help yourself.{S}
 I did not see anything.{S}
 The thought of that bastard locking himself in the cellar while everyone is out there fighting made my skin crawl, anyhow.{S}
 I will keep the tavern open for the rest of the day and lock up before I go to the chantry.{S}
 You need something in the meantime?{S}
 With what is coming tonight, it does not make a difference that Lloyd's dead.{S}
 I would have to think about it, though.{S}
 So did I hear that right?{S}
 What can I get you?{S}
 Anything I can get you?{S}
 It will take months to get the stock back to normal and start turning a profit, but I think it is possible.{S}
 He works for you now, right?{S}
 I found Lloyd's hidden stash of coin.{S}
 I think I can do it.{S}
 Lloyd let things run kind of low, and the village needs to rebuild.{S}
 Well, I did not know whether you knew about it or not.{S}
 I admit, for a while I did not think either of us would survive.{S}
 It is good to see you did.{S}
 Got it.{S}
 What kind of tip do I get out of it? <desc>Laughs</desc> Heroic and cheap.{S}
 Keep your money.{S}
 I will make an exception this once.{S}
 Fine, I will make an exception, but just this once. <desc>Laughs</desc> Cute.{S}
 I will take it.{S}
 I would not hold you to that.{S}
 You have already done so much for us.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Do not I work for you now?{S}
 I... do not know.{S}
 I was getting used to running the place.{S}
 With Lloyd gone, there is no one to take over...{S}
 What do you have in mind?{S}
 I do not think a woman like me would do well in that sort of life.{S}
 I appreciate your offer, but I do not think I can do that.{S}
 That could get me to Denerim...{S}
 That is kind of you to offer, but I would probably just end up broke somewhere else.{S}
 I might just do that.{S}
 Thanks for the offer, however.{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 You can have it, and in a few months, I can probably pay you more.{S}
 It will take a while to get this place back in shape, but I look forward to it.{S}
 Thank you for giving me the chance.{S}
 Does it drink ale, too?{S}
 Perhaps it should serve those who require serving?{S}
 Then I will... do that.{S}
 So how has business been?{S}
 Why do not you leave?{S}
 You could leave if you had some help.{S}
 I will take a kiss, and maybe a smile.{S}
 How about not end up at another tavern?{S}
 A pretty girl like you should be able to do better.{S}
 Let us not go there.{S}
 Of course I do.{S}
 You do not care for Lloyd, I take it?{S}
 How about a raise?{S}
 How about a raise, then?{S}
 I would rather you did not go anywhere.{S}
 Do you know anything about a strange stone rod of Lloyd's?{S}
 Could you serve the militia ale for free?{S}
 I need some supplies.{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 Keep your job.{S}
 Why do not you just run the place yourself?{S}
 How about I take it as your purchase of the tavern?{S}
 No, keep it.{S}
 Put it back into the tavern.{S}
 Do not I deserve a hero's welcome?{S}
 I have a sovereign with your name on it.{S}
 I believe I made you a promise.{S}
 Then I will leave you to your work.{S}
 No, you work for yourself.{S}
 You can do better than this place.{S}
 I do not have anything to offer, really.{S}
 Why do not you come with me?{S}
 Bann Teagan's a good man, and I bet he could use a maid.{S}
 500 silver should be enough to start a new life.{S}
 A promise not to work in a place like this.{S}
 At least you would get out of Redcliffe.{S}
 If you do not want to leave, that is up to you.{S}
 Why do not you take it over?{S}
 Then you should have it.{S}
 I do not need it.{S}
 I did not say it was free...{S}
 I will take a kiss, thank you.{S}
 And that is all we have in common.{S}
 We have nothing in common; you are Dalish.{S}
 Elves are not allowed to travel?{S}
 I do not live here.{S}
 How did you know that?{S}
 Err... well, that is my name.{S}
 You just, uh, took me by surprise.{S}
 Look, I do not know you and I do not want to.{S}
 Just because you are a Grey Warden does not mean you can go around threatening people!{S}
 Just... do not kill me!{S}
 Just... do not kill me!{S}
 I do not want trouble.{S}
 Just... do not hurt me.{S}
 Just... do not hurt me.{S}
 Look, they just paid me to watch the castle and send word if anything should change.{S}
 I haven't even been able to report anything since this started!{S}
 It has instructions and everything... keep it!{S}
 Do whatever you want with it!{S}
 I just thought I was serving the king and making a bit of coin on the side.{S}
 You have to believe me!{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 I do not know anything about these creatures!{S}
 When the arl got sick, I got scared that people would think I was involved.{S}
 But I swear I do not know anything about it!{S}
 Maybe they knew the arl would get sick, I do not know.{S}
 All I could send word about was the arl getting sick.{S}
 After that, monsters started coming from the castle.{S}
 A tall fellow, I forget his name.{S}
 He, uhh, said he was working for Howe.{S}
 So I did not do anything wrong!{S}
 Nobody told me to do anything.{S}
 Just because you are a Grey Warden does not mean you can go around threatening people!{S}
 I want to get to the chantry before the sun goes down.{S}
 Look, just because you are an elf does not mean we should... be friends.{S}
 Oh... yes, he was supposed to meet me here.{S}
 And then I got stuck here when monsters from the castle attacked.{S}
 I was told I did not have to.{S}
 Uhh, no... those who tried are dead.{S}
 And um, I uh, have to wait for... my brother.{S}
 I just... did not know how you knew my name, that is all.{S}
 I guess that, uhh, makes sense.{S}
 How did you...?{S}
 That is what I get for mixing myself up in all this...{S}
 No need to be hostile.{S}
 Is that what you are doing?{S}
 Then what are you doing here?{S}
 I did not mean to startle you.{S}
 Start talking.{S}
 Actually, it does.{S}
 How do I know you are telling the truth?{S}
 I do believe you. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 I do not want to see you again.{S}
 Start running.{S}
 Who hired you to do this?{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 What were you told to do?{S}
 And how do you know I am a Grey Warden?{S}
 You did not try to leave?{S}
 Mind explaining this letter I found?{S}
 Please do not hurt me!{S}
 I did not mean any harm!{S}
 She is dead now, and Kaitlyn said we have to move away.{S}
 I do not want to be a frog!{S}
 I will not tell you and you can not make me!{S}
 Father said I could have his sword when I grew up.{S}
 I thought... if I was brave like Grandfather, I could use his sword and... kill the bad people who took Mother.{S}
 Father gave me a key, but I am not supposed to give it to anyone.{S}
 Maybe you could... give my sister money?{S}
 She said if we had money we would be all right, even if Mother is dead.{S}
 I hope you use it to kill a lot of those bad people.{S}
 I can not give it to you!{S}
 It... was Father's; Kaitlyn would be so mad if I did!{S}
 Father would have, if he were here.{S}
 That does not help us now.{S}
 I just... did not want to be in the chantry anymore.{S}
 I just... did not want to be at the chantry anymore.{S}
 Go, get lost.{S}
 First tell me what you were doing in there.{S}
 What is your name?{S}
 So what were you doing in there?{S}
 I can make you tell me, you know.{S}
 I do not like secrets.{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 But I could use that sword to help the village.{S}
 Do not make me laugh!{S}
 You had the right idea.{S}
 You do not think you are a bit young to fight?{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 That is very likely, but there is nothing you can do.{S}
 Hopefully, we all make it through.{S}
 I hope your helping makes a difference.{S}
 I can not believe Lloyd will not even give us some free ale.{S}
 We are just trying to survive, and here he is making a profit.{S}
 I have seen Lloyd handle a sword.{S}
 He should stick to something he knows about, like keeping me nice and drunk for the fight!{S}
 I was drunk for the last two fights, and I would not have it any other way.{S}
 Lloyd is charging us for coin we do not even got any more.{S}
 Nobody's working right now; we are all just trying to survive!{S}
 Ahhh, what difference does it make?{S}
 He will not care.{S}
 She going to keep it?{S}
 Maker will not spend much time on him, that is what.{S}
 Maker help us, what will we do now?{S}
 Evil does not always win.{S}
 The Maker works in mysterious ways, yes He does.{S}
 You rescued Arl Eamon, did not you?{S}
 Ferelden owes you a great debt, that is for certain.{S}
 I hope you have a good reason for breaking and entering into my home.{S}
 Do not let the door hit you on the way out.{S}
 The name's Dwyn, pleased to meet you.{S}
 Now get out.{S}
 In the interest of keeping my face from bursting into flame, I think I will.{S}
 No, no, have the run of the place.{S}
 The name's Dwyn.{S}
 Pleased to meet you.{S}
 We have supplies to last for quite some time, and my boys and I can swing a weapon better than any of those fools out there.{S}
 When did this town ever rush to my rescue?{S}
 Sure it does.{S}
 Here I have my own supplies, my boys for protection, and I live and die on my own terms.{S}
 Spoken like someone who does not know me very well.{S}
 Do not thank me.{S}
 I am not doing this <emp>for</emp> you.{S}
 I am doing this <emp>because</emp> of you.{S}
 With you out there, they do not really need me, do they?{S}
 Did I stutter?{S}
 You are recruiting for him?{S}
 I think I will do that.{S}
 Have a nice day--what is left of it.{S}
 I have had enough of you strutting around like you own the place.{S}
 This ends now.{S}
 Let us hear what you have got.{S}
 And what good would that do me?{S}
 The arl's probably dead and I could not care less what Teagan thinks of me.{S}
 What else you got?{S}
 I am not fighting for a lost cause, you hear me?{S}
 How long do you think I have been doing this?{S}
 Then why bring it up?{S}
 Do you have something else in mind?{S}
 You are getting off easy there, but like you say, I guess this town needs a hero.{S}
 Do I look like an elf?{S}
 It is a hundred, or it is no deal.{S}
 Just do not mention our little deal.{S}
 Thanks, but I will take my chances in here.{S}
 Everyone else can run around in the open, waiting to die.{S}
 I swear we might as well leave the door open if people are going to keep coming in and out.{S}
 These humans do not know the hilt of a sword from the pointy end.{S}
 If I wanted to fight darkspawn, I would have stayed in Orzammar.{S}
 Do not thank me.{S}
 You paid me, fair and square.{S}
 Same thing I intended to do before, except this time there is more humans left alive to help.{S}
 First thing I am going to do is get some sleep.{S}
 Go celebrate or whatever it is you are going to do.{S}
 I do not mean any harm.{S}
 Care to rephrase that?{S}
 What are you doing shut up in here?{S}
 Let us see if they will come rushing when I attack you.{S}
 It just does not make sense to hole up here alone.{S}
 Murdock says he needs you for the militia.{S}
 You go and I do not cut off your head.{S}
 I will put in a good word for you with Bann Teagan or the arl.{S}
 I just wanted to see what you would do.{S}
 Then it is a deal.{S}
 I do not have that kind of money.{S}
 What are you doing boarded up in here?{S}
 I could use your help with the darkspawn.{S}
 What do you intend to do now?{S}
 Why is that? <desc>The door is locked, and looks as if it has been recently repaired.</desc> <desc>There is no response.</desc> <desc>There is no sound from within.</desc> <act>Break open the lock.</act> <act>Knock on the door.</act>{S}
 Do not fear, I am not about to raise a rabble against you.{S}
 I am sure your magic will prove valuable before the day is out.{S}
 Perhaps not, but many dwarves do not hold the Chantry and its adherents in high regard.{S}
 But I do not wish to irritate you.{S}
 Which does not include protecting innocents.{S}
 Regardless, I am grateful the Maker brought you to us.{S}
 Many elves claim we would not do the same in return.{S}
 Allow me to introduce myself; I am Revered Mother Hannah, head of this chantry... which, for the moment, is a place of refuge for these poor villagers.{S}
 They are terrified of tonight's attack, and I fear these walls will not keep them safe.{S}
 What can I do to help with your task?{S}
 I have done all I can for them.{S}
 I pray for them, each night, and seek the Maker's forgiveness for their sins before they face their deaths.{S}
 Ser Perth believes that I can protect them against these creatures, a shield only the Maker can provide, and that I withhold this power.{S}
 I am no mage, and the Maker will not intervene with His power no matter how strong one's faith may be.{S}
 You mean you want me to let them think the Maker protects them in a real sense?{S}
 I will not do it!{S}
 To tell them the Maker protects them when He does not?{S}
 Very well, though I loathe doing this, you leave me no option.{S}
 I... cannot do it.{S}
 I know that their own faith may inspire them, but these men need to find confidence on their own.{S}
 Now, please... let me tend to these poor folk.{S}
 I must do what I can, and I suggest you do the same.{S}
 If it keeps them alive, I will do what I must.{S}
 I have a number of silver-cast holy symbols.{S}
 Tell Ser Perth that he can have them, and that wearing them will confer the Maker's protection.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Certainly nothing that is not tainted with the very foul magic Ser Perth seeks protection from.{S}
 I simply mean it would take the same type of power to affect these monsters that created them in the first place.{S}
 Too bad Ser Perth cannot see it as you do.{S}
 I did not mean to speak against your magic; I only mean that to affect these monsters might take the same type of power that created them.{S}
 The Maker could do whatever He wished, but He does not provide protection against evil just because one thinks He should.{S}
 Of course I will do whatever I can.{S}
 But Ser Perth hopes for something that does not exist.{S}
 If we seek to deserve it, the Maker may smile on us.{S}
 Ser Perth has a good heart and means well, but his hope exceeds reality.{S}
 All I can do is pray for him and his men.{S}
 Does it?{S}
 It is we who owe Him, not the other way around.{S}
 It is the sturdiest building in the village.{S}
 They set up a barricade outside the chantry to keep monsters from getting inside.{S}
 If anything gets in...{S}
 Have you no pity for these poor folk?{S}
 Please, have mercy... help these people.{S}
 Do whatever you can.{S}
 Blessed art thou who seeks His forgiveness.{S}
 Blessed art thou who seeks His return.{S}
 May the Chant reach the Maker's ears and tell Him of our contrition.{S}
 What is it you need, child?{S}
 Perhaps He has sent you as well.{S}
 I know you have no reason to listen to me, but please help us!{S}
 Do not abandon us to this evil!{S}
 If you leave, we are done once night descends.{S}
 I know you are a mage and have no inclination to listen to me, but please help us!{S}
 Do not abandon us to this evil!{S}
 I know you are not human and have no inclination to listen to me, but please help us!{S}
 Do not abandon us to this evil!{S}
 Bann Teagan will know what is needed.{S}
 Have you considered getting some rest, child?{S}
 I have nothing more to say.{S}
 Without your help, we surely would have lost.{S}
 Andraste's mercy, it gets stranger here every day, does not it?{S}
 Does it... speak?{S}
 I do now.{S}
 Keep your gratitude.{S}
 I need nothing from the Chantry.{S}
 I do not need a human god's gratitude.{S}
 I have my own reasons to be here.{S}
 Ser Perth needs holy protection for the knights.{S}
 He will simply have to do without, then.{S}
 What is the harm in giving them hope?{S}
 And do it quickly.{S}
 If it gave them confidence, then it does protect them.{S}
 So what does protect against such evil?{S}
 Are you saying the Maker has no power?{S}
 I was hoping you would give him a blessing.{S}
 Do you discriminate against rocks, too?{S}
 Do you have a problem with that?{S}
 I will try to be more quiet.{S}
 Do not mind me none.{S}
 Do not mind me none.{S}
 With Mother gone now, I have to be brave.{S}
 I do not know what happened to her, but I hear her screaming all the time, everywhere!{S}
 I do not know where he is!{S}
 I am so scared they got him, too!{S}
 Please find him!{S}
 I have nothing.{S}
 If you found my brother, I would be eternally grateful.{S}
 I understand, I do.{S}
 If he does not come back tonight...{S}
 I would do anything, ser.{S}
 If you found Bevin, I would.{S}
 Without me, he has nobody!{S}
 He does not understand she is gone.{S}
 My... my name's Kaitlyn, my lord.{S}
 My... my name's Kaitlyn, my lady.{S}
 I close my eyes and I see my mother being... carried off.{S}
 What have we done that the Maker allows this to continue?{S}
 He ran off, maybe tried to leave the village!{S}
 I am so scared those... things got him!{S}
 It just would be so much easier if he were here, then I would not have to worry.{S}
 I do not remember who.{S}
 No, I do not suppose there is.{S}
 You are very handsome, I never would have...{S}
 I mean, I did not expect... never mind.{S}
 No I did not mean it like...{S}
 I do not want him to die, too.{S}
 Have you found any sign of Bevin?{S}
 No, I do not suppose you have.{S}
 Bevin said you were the one who found him.{S}
 I will take Bevin and stay out of your way, then.{S}
 So you have it, then?{S}
 Then... use it well.{S}
 Use it well.{S}
 If we survive, I will gladly take it back.{S}
 I... have no idea what it is worth, to be honest.{S}
 And you found Bevin...{S}
 Use it well.{S}
 Use it well.{S}
 That is a great deal of money!{S}
 With this, I can hire a wagon to take us to Denerim!{S}
 We have family there, and they will take us in for sure now!{S}
 Come on, Bevin, let us find one now.{S}
 Maker keep you safe.{S}
 I will not forget what you did, though.{S}
 There is a wagon taking us north and I do not want to miss it.{S}
 With Mother and Father dead, we do not have any money.{S}
 I think we have relatives in Denerim, but we have no way to get there.{S}
 That... will not be enough, but it will help a great deal.{S}
 So you have it, then?{S}
 I suppose it did not go to waste, at least.{S}
 I can not take it back.{S}
 If you need it, keep it.{S}
 Perhaps someone in the city will buy it.{S}
 With the money you gave us for Grandfather's sword, we should be able to get to Denerim.{S}
 I... think we have family there we can stay with.{S}
 With all the money you gave us for Grandfather's sword, I will have someone take us to Denerim.{S}
 We might have to evacuate the village if those darkspawn come closer.{S}
 You need to be strong, girl.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 What would you give to find him?{S}
 Have you tried looking for your brother?{S}
 Do you know?{S}
 I am afraid I have to go.{S}
 No, do not be ridiculous.{S}
 Do not say that.{S}
 It seems I do not have much choice.{S}
 Yes, I will do my best.{S}
 I do not need to listen to this whining.{S}
 Try to be strong.{S}
 Does that frighten you?{S}
 You have never seen an elf before?{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 I will take a kiss from a pretty girl.{S}
 A smile will do. <act>Kiss her.</act>{S}
 Do not be silly!{S}
 About the sword I found in your home...{S}
 I promised Bevin I would pay you for it.{S}
 Let me pay you something, at least.{S}
 Let me pay you something, at least.{S}
 Take it.{S}
 Take it.{S}
 That is what I do.{S}
 Why do you have to go to an orphanage?{S}
 Perhaps I could help you get to Denerim?{S}
 Take it.{S}
 No, it certainly did not go to waste.{S}
 You could sell it.{S}
 I insist you take it.{S}
 Perhaps I could pay you something for it?{S}
 There is still darkspawn to deal with.{S}
 Surely, the Chantry can do something against this foul evil.{S}
 We have prayed and prayed but it seems only death awaits us.{S}
 A rather ingenious idea you had with the oil.{S}
 I hope it makes a difference when these creatures come.{S}
 I do not know whether to be awed or frightened by the walking statue.{S}
 We do not need cowards here.{S}
 It is good you elected to help defend the village, but I doubt we will make it through the night.{S}
 Many have perished already, and we shall soon join them.{S}
 If only we were here when the castle fell, perhaps we could have stopped it.{S}
 I trust you will not abandon us anytime soon?{S}
 Without you, we surely would have perished.{S}
 I am proud I played a small part in protecting Redcliffe with you.{S}
 Without your help, we would surely have fallen.{S}
 Arl Eamon owes you much, that is certain.{S}
 I am proud to have fought alongside you.{S}
 Can not say we have ever met before.{S}
 Stranger to the village, I take it?{S}
 Haven't had many travelers lately.{S}
 Bet you regret coming, yes?{S}
 Makes you thirsty, do not it?{S}
 Makes you thirsty, do not it?{S}
 Did you just come for a quick sip of ale before you go?{S}
 I could use the business.{S}
 And, ahhh, have a nice day.{S}
 Right... have a nice day.{S}
 I have some supplies, too, in case you are interested.{S}
 With the store closed down, it does not hurt to pick up some of the slack, heh.{S}
 Of course it is, uhh, free for you, being a partner and all...{S}
 They may not have much coin, but I am not giving it away for free!{S}
 Maybe I could try it for a bit.{S}
 All right, militia drinks are paid for thanks to this gentleman, here!{S}
 I hope you did not pay more than a few coppers for this swill!{S}
 Right then, militia drinks are paid for thanks to this lass.{S}
 Hope you did not pay more than a few coppers for this swill!{S}
 Well, they can have their ale for... morale purposes and such.{S}
 All militia drink for free!{S}
 Ha-ha! ...if them creatures do not kill me I swear they will bleed me dry...{S}
 Make them quick.{S}
 Says his name's Berwick.{S}
 I have never seen him before, but he paid good for his room.{S}
 Anyone going up to the castle did not come back.{S}
 Hey, there is no need for that kind of talk!{S}
 I could pay you to... err... protect me!{S}
 There is no need for any... unpleasantness.{S}
 Get away from me!{S}
 Get away from me!{S}
 Uhh, just... just take the money and... and go!{S}
 Heh, anything you need...{S}
 I am not abandoning my tavern because of a few monsters.{S}
 What is the point in getting myself killed with all the rest of them?{S}
 If that makes me a coward, then I am a coward.{S}
 Bann Teagan said we did not have to!{S}
 But all of this better be here when I get back!{S}
 I do not want the place drunk out from under me!{S}
 I do not--oh, wait, I know what you are talking about: that thing I got from the store some years back.{S}
 Ended up putting it under the keg in the back room to stop it wobbling.{S}
 I will sell it to you, if you like, even though it has great sentimental value to me.{S}
 Go take it yourself if you like, then.{S}
 Fifty silvers will do.{S}
 Since it is, ah, your tavern... feel free to take it.{S}
 Take it, if you think it is worth something to you.{S}
 If you want it, go find it.{S}
 Name's Lloyd.{S}
 Something else I can get for you?{S}
 What else can I get you, partner?{S}
 This... is all I have.{S}
 T-take it.{S}
 This... is all I have right now.{S}
 Well, you must have been mighty surprised.{S}
 We do not get many dwarves out here.{S}
 I hear old Owen could use a replacement.{S}
 Did not mean any insult.{S}
 My father had a dwarven made plow... lasted his entire life.{S}
 Guess that means he does not need you, do not it?{S}
 We do not get many elves out here.{S}
 Does not bother me if you are running from something.{S}
 I have heard about them.{S}
 What can Lloyd get you?{S}
 You needed something else?{S}
 What can I get you?{S}
 What do you need, partner?{S}
 I do not know how I survived that damnable mess out there, but I did.{S}
 I suppose I owe you thanks.{S}
 I would never have gone out there if you hadn't shoved me.{S}
 I suppose I do.{S}
 Listen... a soldier gave me this trinket some years ago as payment for his tab.{S}
 I did not believe him then, but I think it helped keep me alive out there.{S}
 You should have it.{S}
 It might do the same for you, sometime.{S}
 No, take it.{S}
 Sell it if you want, just do not tell anyone I gave you anything for free.{S}
 Yes, well... do not go spreading news that I gave you something for free.{S}
 I do not want to be in battle again anytime soon, know what I mean?{S}
 As much as it pains me to have a woman say that, I suppose I do.{S}
 You put Bella in charge.{S}
 You want something, you got to talk to her.{S}
 Let us see what you have.{S}
 I need some questions answered.{S}
 What do you know about that elf in the corner?{S}
 What do you know about what is happened here?{S}
 I prefer you joined the militia.{S}
 How about you give the militia free ale instead?{S}
 Keep your filthy money.{S}
 I do not want it.{S}
 Why are you still open?{S}
 Did you buy a control rod?{S}
 I am taking it.{S}
 I am taking it and you are not going to stop me.{S}
 Do not be insulting, human.{S}
 Owen has re-opened his smithy.{S}
 You going to do something about it?{S}
 Feel like a man now, do you?{S}
 I do not want anything from you.{S}
 You did not help much, trust me.{S}
 It is not just Redcliffe having trouble, is it?{S}
 I have heard the news.{S}
 I am telling the missus he does not deserve her blackberry tarts anymore.{S}
 We are going to have a whole bunch of drunk men trying to fight the walking dead.{S}
 Great work there.{S}
 I am glad you managed to get Dwyn out here.{S}
 We do not want cowards in this town.{S}
 I hope you know what you are doing.{S}
 The sun will set soon... and I will have seen my last day on the Maker's green land.{S}
 I think we can do this.{S}
 We may have lived through the night, but more trouble waits on the horizon.{S}
 Redcliffe will never forget what you did for us.{S}
 Mind if I ask what makes you so special that you think you will be able to help us?{S}
 I suppose we do at that.{S}
 It does not mean I have to agree with his choices.{S}
 You do not look like ordinary folk, if you ask me.{S}
 I did not think they made women Grey Wardens.{S}
 So you are the lass Bann Teagan put in charge.{S}
 Mind if I ask what makes you so special that we should follow your orders?{S}
 Maybe later you could show us which end of our swords to hold.{S}
 If it takes a ghost or two to kill a horde of evil monsters, I will take it.{S}
 Could be that I did.{S}
 I did not think they made women Grey Wardens.{S}
 Do not take me for being an ingrate or nothing.{S}
 Name's Murdock, mayor of what is left of the village--providing we are not all killed and hauled off to the castle tonight.{S}
 Yes, well, I haven't given up hope.{S}
 Let us hope we see morning.{S}
 The militia will do what it can, but do not get your hopes up.{S}
 I have a good feeling about tonight.{S}
 There is still time left if you need to talk with Ser Perth or do anything else.{S}
 It will give the men great confidence to know that you are standing with them.{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 I am busy getting the militia ready for battle, here.{S}
 Do not rightly know.{S}
 We heard the arl was sick, and getting worse, but after a while we heard nothing at all.{S}
 They could not get in.{S}
 Some did, yes.{S}
 They put their belongings together and ran... and creatures attacked them on the road.{S}
 Fellow from the Free Marches, called himself Wilhelm.{S}
 Arl Rendorn, Arl Eamon's father, ruled when the Orlesians controlled Ferelden.{S}
 He is as pleased as a fat cat that he got it... only says that he won it somewhere.{S}
 But how did it end up all the way over there, then?{S}
 Wilhelm's wife wanted the golem destroyed, but we did not know how... so it is stayed here ever since.{S}
 We used to be, but not after thirty years.{S}
 They say his wife did not like the castle.{S}
 I do not know what became of them...{S}
 You can try.{S}
 Well, no one could put more than a chip in it, so we just let it stay where it was.{S}
 We have gotten used to it.{S}
 It is been still all these years now; I do not expect it will ever be any harm.{S}
 Do not rightly know.{S}
 He may not have much in stock yet, though.{S}
 They are the ones we need to protect.{S}
 No matter what happens, we can not let them evil things in there.{S}
 If they die, the village is done.{S}
 We could use some extra bodies.{S}
 Having a veteran like Dwyn in the militia would help a lot, but he flat out refuses.{S}
 I told him we would not be able to make sure he was safe, but would he listen?{S}
 Locked himself up in his home with some of his workers, he has, says he does not need any of us.{S}
 We could use somebody with his fighting experience, but he will not come out.{S}
 It would help if we had decent equipment.{S}
 Since you convinced Owen to start repairs, we are pretty well-armed now.{S}
 That is a relief, let me tell you.{S}
 I do not think we are in any shape to fight.{S}
 We will do our best, of course, but... well, I have my doubts.{S}
 We are better off, now that we have sufficient arms.{S}
 I do not know that we are ready for the battle, really, but were we ever?{S}
 I do not know that we would ever be really ready for battle, though.{S}
 My men are getting free drinks at the tavern.{S}
 I am tempted to have a few ales myself.{S}
 Dwyn's presence makes the men a bit more confident.{S}
 We need what little armor and weapons we got repaired, and quickly, or half of us will be fighting without either.{S}
 Owen's the only blacksmith who can do it, but the stubborn fool refuses to even talk.{S}
 If we are to be ready for tonight, we will need that crotchety bastard's help.{S}
 If he does not help, he will die like the rest of us.{S}
 What good will that do anyone then?{S}
 He knew we desperately needed replacements!{S}
 He must have hidden everything before I went the first time!{S}
 If there were others, do not you think I would ask them?{S}
 So he hasn't heard from her since this whole business started.{S}
 I can not force him to do repairs...{S}
 The only problem is, with Owen dead we have nobody to fix all our damaged gear.{S}
 I do not suppose he had some replacements hidden away?{S}
 If there is not anything, then I do not know what we are going to do.{S}
 Well, that does it, then.{S}
 I really do.{S}
 I have been trying to hold us together, but it is not easy.{S}
 They do not need me quivering in my boots.{S}
 My death will come soon enough, it do not need me hurrying it along.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 You are making everyone nervous.{S}
 If you walk out of the village, do not expect us to be here when you get back.{S}
 Name's Murdock.{S}
 If there is nothing you need...?{S}
 If you mean to stay in the village tonight, you had best pray for your life.{S}
 Changed your mind, have you?{S}
 Do you see me stopping you?{S}
 No, you do not.{S}
 As if we were not nervous enough as it was, now we got magic too.{S}
 For more reason's than you would care to hear, I bet.{S}
 I heard Tomas brought some stranger by to talk to Bann Teagan.{S}
 That is you, I take it?{S}
 I heard Tomas brought some dwarf to talk to Bann Teagan.{S}
 That is you, I take it?{S}
 We do not see much of your folk around here, except for Dwyn.{S}
 I heard Tomas brought some elf to talk to Bann Teagan.{S}
 That is you, I take it?{S}
 We do not get many of your kind here.{S}
 Some elven folks serve in the castle, but they do not come down to the village.{S}
 I heard Tomas brought a Grey Warden to talk to Bann Teagan.{S}
 Something else you need?{S}
 Something you need?{S}
 Have you spoken to Owen?{S}
 Is he not the most stubborn fool you have ever met?{S}
 You need something from me?{S}
 He did not go and get himself killed, did he?{S}
 Well, you will have to beat some sense into that crotchety fool, or... or we need replacements from somewhere!{S}
 If you can get through his door, you have done better than I have.{S}
 Go try again.{S}
 Do not drink with him!{S}
 Like there is nobody else in the entire castle who might just need rescuing?{S}
 Did you go to the smithy?{S}
 Did the old fool squirrel items away somewhere?{S}
 Well, it looks like Owen's finally doing the repairs we need.{S}
 The damned fool is falling over drunk and still manages to make smithing look easy.{S}
 You will find him and his men at the mill by the bridge, to the north.{S}
 We will do our best.{S}
 But... we will do our best.{S}
 We will try out best, however... this is our home.{S}
 As ready as we will get.{S}
 We will give those bastards a welcome they will not soon forget!{S}
 Some of my men will have to use harsh language, I suppose, but there is not much recourse, is there?{S}
 We are still sorting through the equipment you found in Owen's shop.{S}
 We may just make it.{S}
 I hear you got the tavern serving the militia free ale now?{S}
 While I do not favor my men being drunk come sundown, I suppose it helps morale to have their minds taken off... what is to come.{S}
 You have my thanks.{S}
 Errr, he is not going to suddenly start killing us all?{S}
 But, I suppose he is worth ten armed men alone, being made of stone and all.{S}
 I guess I will take your word for it.{S}
 If that do not beat all.{S}
 It, uh, is not about to start killing folks, is it?{S}
 You got it under control, right?{S}
 Well, if you are its new master I guess it is your risk to take.{S}
 If you will excuse me, I think I will offer the Maker a bit of thanks for not choosing to be a wrathful god today.{S}
 No offense, but I have lived under the arl my whole life.{S}
 I will fight when he calls me or when I absolutely need to, and that is it.{S}
 Does not mean it is over, though.{S}
 We still have darkspawn to battle, and if the arl sends out the call, I will be there for him.{S}
 I am still amazed we made it through the night in one piece, and won!{S}
 They will be telling stories about this for years, I bet.{S}
 Because I know what I am doing, that is why.{S}
 You sure you did not hear that we killed the king?{S}
 I do not think darkspawn care who kills them.{S}
 I am ready to make my stand.{S}
 Let us wait for sundown.{S}
 Do you know anything about Arl Eamon's illness?{S}
 You did not try running away?{S}
 What do you know about the statue overlooking the village?{S}
 Enough, I do not need to hear any more.{S}
 Get on with it.{S}
 How did Wilhelm die?{S}
 Can I get into their house?{S}
 Why haven't you gotten rid of it?{S}
 Why did the golem stop moving?{S}
 But there is nowhere to actually buy or sell things?{S}
 Why have you been stationed here?{S}
 Carry on, then.{S}
 Dwyn is dead, in case you did not know.{S}
 Owen had these weapons stashed away in the smithy.{S}
 Nobody else can do these repairs?{S}
 Why does Owen refuse to talk to you?{S}
 You will just have to make do with what you have.{S}
 I do not know, but I could take a look.{S}
 Yes, he has a stash hidden in the smithy.{S}
 Have faith, good man.{S}
 I am a mage, as well, if it makes a difference.{S}
 Well, they do.{S}
 You have a problem with dwarves?{S}
 You will have to make do without his help.{S}
 It does not matter.{S}
 Yes he did.{S}
 I still need to speak to Ser Perth.{S}
 I am willing to take that chance.{S}
 He does not remember killing his master.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 It does not remember killing his master.{S}
 I could use a good commander, myself.{S}
 I have no money and nothing of value to take, as you can plainly see.{S}
 So I let you in.{S}
 Anyhow, my name's Owen... though you might already know that.{S}
 Care to join me as I get besotted?{S}
 Me, I will just sit here and keep drinking until nightfall.{S}
 Do what you have to.{S}
 Find my Valena.{S}
 I haven't got much, obviously, but I will do whatever I can for you.{S}
 You are welcome to whatever I have, obviously.{S}
 The militia took everything they could use.{S}
 I could start up the forge again, but I will not since Murdock will not listen to me.{S}
 But feel free to take whatever's left.{S}
 Do not suppose it matters much any more.{S}
 Everything that they could find, sure.{S}
 Walked in here and took it all right off the walls.{S}
 You have a lot of nerve threatening me like that.{S}
 Do your worst.{S}
 I would be stupid to keep everything out here where someone could find it easy.{S}
 I have got some hidden away, maybe, but if you want me to dig them up, there is something I want you to do first.{S}
 If you can find it, congratulations.{S}
 I have got nothing else to give you.{S}
 I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.{S}
 You have to earn it.{S}
 Tell you what, you go into the castle and find my Valena and I will even dig up something you might like.{S}
 Then we have nothing to talk about.{S}
 Let me go back to drinking and waiting for the monsters to come.{S}
 I do not care for thieves poking around my things.{S}
 And trust you will find Valena anyway?{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 We may not even live through the night... but if we do, I want my daughter found.{S}
 Find Valena like you promised, and I will dig it up for you.{S}
 Provided we even survive the coming battle.{S}
 You can try, but I doubt you will.{S}
 Can not say I care for thieves poking around my things either way.{S}
 And then trust you will find Valena anyway?{S}
 What do I look like?{S}
 If the need to kill me overwhelms you, go ahead.{S}
 My daughter used to tell me the arlessa was up to something, hiding things from her husband.{S}
 And what good would it do now?{S}
 I just wish I would paid more heed to my girl.{S}
 I would never make such accusations, but... maybe.{S}
 If she was using foul magic, then maybe she just did at that.{S}
 She thought the arlessa was having an affair with some tutor she hired for the boy, Connor.{S}
 I never listened much to her talk about it, though I wish now I had.{S}
 It does not matter, anyway.{S}
 She is lost to me, and I can not do anything about her warnings now.{S}
 Or have you changed your mind?{S}
 I will hold you to that.{S}
 Everyone knows we are not making it through the night.{S}
 It'd do me a world of good to think maybe someone like you could go in and find her... provided any of us live through the night.{S}
 Tell you what, if you want me to do repairs for Murdock and his men, promise me you will go into the castle and find my daughter.{S}
 Tell you what, you want that reward I mentioned, you find Valena.{S}
 Murdock said the same damned thing and I did not believe him, either.{S}
 Promise me that you will look for her, that you will bring her back to me if you can.{S}
 Time to re-light the forge and get the smithy going, hey?{S}
 It seems I have some work to do, re-lighting the forge and I suppose I will have to find some iron.{S}
 Bah, Murdock just better send his men here as soon as possible if I am gonna get to all these repairs and get them done by nightfall.{S}
 If you need anything done... well, just let me know.{S}
 I have got a lot to do now, so you will have to excuse me.{S}
 Eventually, they will want to seek out the arl and arlessa.{S}
 And when they do, you go in and bring my Valena to me.{S}
 You got one of them?{S}
 Then I will take what I can get and leave the rest to the Maker's grace.{S}
 Then you should know the value of a deal.{S}
 If you will look for Valena, I will re-open the smithy and make some repairs for the militia.{S}
 I can do that much.{S}
 And there you have it--we are doomed.{S}
 So if I lock myself in here and drink quietly, waiting for the sun to go down, then I do not see the problem.{S}
 I say my daughter's all I got to live for.{S}
 Murdock and the village do not matter none to me.{S}
 I have been drinking since I got up this afternoon.{S}
 That makes... hmm... three days.{S}
 Funny, you did not sound like a dwarf through the door.{S}
 Funny, you did not sound like an elf through the door.{S}
 It takes all kinds.{S}
 So I opened the door.{S}
 I have got nothing of value for you.{S}
 The militia's taken whatever I had.{S}
 So if you are here to beat on a sad old man, then all I ask is you get on with it.{S}
 I do not have much to live for as it is.{S}
 If you think you can intimidate me more than them, then you are free to try.{S}
 What do you want, exactly?{S}
 Join me for a drink or two, if you like.{S}
 I must admit, it feels good to be up and... doing something, finally.{S}
 I have you to thank for that, stranger.{S}
 Just do what you have promised and it will have been worthwhile.{S}
 Now I will show you what I do with thieves!{S}
 I will show you what I do with thieves!{S}
 I do not think there is anything you will need in there, but it is hard to say.{S}
 There is nothing of interest to you none, and I do not abide thieves.{S}
 Hey, I see you have found my hiding place.{S}
 I stuck some old equipment in there before Murdock could get his hands on it.{S}
 Here, let me open it for you.{S}
 I have the key.{S}
 I had a key, but... um, well...{S}
 Not if I am going to repair the equipment they have.{S}
 Do you have news of Valena, yet?{S}
 Does that mean...?{S}
 Then... then take this.{S}
 Then... then take this.{S}
 Use it well.{S}
 I hope she finds her way back soon, or at least writes.{S}
 Is there something you needed?{S}
 I understand, thank you for letting me know where she is.{S}
 How do you know?{S}
 I have little chance of finding her, old as I am.{S}
 I... hope she makes it back safely.{S}
 Thank you for letting me know where she is.{S}
 Well, I will give it some time.{S}
 Well, I guess that about does it, then.{S}
 I need some privacy.{S}
 Do you have news about her or not?{S}
 They told me you have been back to the castle, that everything's under control.{S}
 Does that mean...?{S}
 But... she should have come home by now.{S}
 If you can not find her, nobody will.{S}
 Is-is there something I can get for you, friend?{S}
 I can not begin to tell you how grateful I am.{S}
 Take this... a reward for your deed.{S}
 It is dwarven made, and should serve you well.{S}
 It is dwarven made, and should serve you well.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 I do mind, actually.{S}
 Let us talk business.{S}
 The militia could not have taken everything...{S}
 But did they find everything?{S}
 Do my worst?{S}
 What do you want me to do?{S}
 You will not get me to help you that way.{S}
 I could find it on my own, you know.{S}
 And if I find it first?{S}
 Give it to me now.{S}
 What do you know about what is going on?{S}
 Have you told anyone about this?{S}
 You think the arlessa made Arl Eamon sick?{S}
 What do you know about the arlessa?{S}
 What else did your daughter say?{S}
 The militia needs your help desperately.{S}
 I will... if you give me the reward you mentioned.{S}
 If we make it through the night, yes.{S}
 Why have you locked yourself in the smithy?{S}
 Or you could work to help save her.{S}
 I have got better things to do.{S}
 I will do my best.{S}
 I promise you: I will find her.{S}
 But no one can get into the castle right now.{S}
 They need your help.{S}
 I intend to try.{S}
 If you want, I can put you out of your misery.{S}
 My name is <FirstName/>, a Grey Warden.{S}
 My name is <FirstName/>, a Grey Warden helping Bann Teagan.{S}
 There is no need for a beating, provided you do what I say.{S}
 Nice to see you have some purpose.{S}
 What are you going to do about it?{S}
 Could not the militia use this?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Give me time.{S}
 I will find her; I promise!{S}
 We do not know that yet, Owen.{S}
 I haven't found any sign of her.{S}
 Yes, I will take that.{S}
 I do not need a reward.{S}
 Keep it.{S}
 You have already taken everything out of my stores!{S}
 And do not come back!{S}
 Who are you and what are you doing at my door?{S}
 Just you try it, looter!{S}
 I... all right, just... do not destroy anything, damn you!{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 I have been through enough...{S}
 If you did not notice, the smithy is closed.{S}
 You have come to the wrong place.{S}
 Well, if Murdock wants more weapons, you can give him the same answer I did: He can make them himself.{S}
 I do not know you and I do not want to.{S}
 All right, all right, though I do not know why you are so determined.{S}
 Here, I will get the locks...{S}
 All right, all right, let me undo the locks.{S}
 All I ask is that you do not make any trouble.{S}
 Do not you try to come in here!{S}
 I haven't taken anything at all.{S}
 Open this door or I break it down!{S}
 I need to speak with you.{S}
 Open the door or I break it down!{S}
 I need some smithing done.{S}
 I need to talk about repairs for the militia.{S}
 Either open the door or I break it down.{S}
 I must admit that I do not know quite how to address you.{S}
 I must admit I do not know quite how to address you.{S}
 I do not wish to be rude.{S}
 I do not wish to be rude.{S}
 Please take no offense, then, my good man, for I meant none.{S}
 Please take no offense, then, my good woman, for I meant none.{S}
 Would that I had chosen not to seek out the Urn of Sacred Ashes, perhaps I would have fended off whatever evil befell the castle... or perhaps I would be dead.{S}
 Take heart, my friend, for we may not see each other beyond the battle to come.{S}
 We are prepared to meet the enemy here, when they come.{S}
 Maker prepare us, we shall be victorious!{S}
 If you have not yet spoken to Murdock or if there is anything you have planned...{S}
 Go do whatever you must, and return before it is time.{S}
 You know about as much as I do.{S}
 I returned a day before the attacks began, having heard strange rumors about the abandoned castle.{S}
 Since then, I found others returning from the arlessa's quest.{S}
 Until we get to the source of this evil, though, I do not think it will stop.{S}
 And I do not believe we will be enough.{S}
 Murdock mentioned a blacksmith in the village, but I believe the militia is using everything he had.{S}
 Beyond that, you might try the village store.{S}
 It is locked up, but there may be items of use still within, I do not know. <desc>Scoffs</desc> A fellow named Lloyd runs it.{S}
 I suppose he might still have something to sell you, though I would not encourage dealing with the fool.{S}
 Nothing worked to cure him and he just kept getting worse.{S}
 Finally, Arlessa Isolde came up with a plan: The Urn of Sacred Ashes is a legendary artifact said to hold great healing powers.{S}
 If found, it might save him.{S}
 We knights volunteered to seek it out.{S}
 Few of us have returned; many are still out there, unaware of what is happening here.{S}
 The ones I have here were those near enough to recall within the last few days.{S}
 He had proof the Urn was in Ferelden, or so I was told.{S}
 We brought in a mage but even that did nothing.{S}
 The arlessa believed he was cursed and that we needed the power of Andraste herself, or he would surely perish.{S}
 Overall, I do not believe my fellow knights are prepared for the coming battle.{S}
 It is ready to use as our first line of defense, as you suggested.{S}
 It is encouraging to think the Maker watches over us in our hour of need.{S}
 We have sufficient armor and weapons, but my knights are too few to stand against the monsters without assistance.{S}
 And I do not know where your specialty lies, but it is said that the large... statue in the village was once a mage's guardian.{S}
 If you could re-animate and control it, the statue might prove an effective ally against these evil creatures.{S}
 Otherwise, I do not know what else you could provide beyond your own talents.{S}
 We are as prepared for the onslaught as we could possibly be, all things considered.{S}
 Setting these creatures aflame might hurt us more than them, after all.{S}
 Yes, I see what you have in mind.{S}
 That might be effective if used carefully.{S}
 We will use it to slow these creatures down.{S}
 Have you anything else to ask me, in the meantime?{S}
 If they are the same as the symbols worn by their priests... well, that would more than suffice!{S}
 Please, give my regards to Mother Hannah for seeing some sense at last.{S}
 Of course I do.{S}
 I do not approve of magery and such, but the symbols of the Chantry are holy and blessed by the Maker, not the work of mages.{S}
 Of course I did.{S}
 If Bann Teagan trusts you enough to charge you with our defense, then I think she would have to regardless of your race.{S}
 She offers prayers to the Maker; only she can call on Him to guard us against this evil.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 We face a great evil and need protection only the Maker can offer.{S}
 If you have not spoken to the mayor, Murdock, you should.{S}
 His militia is far more in need of aid than we are.{S}
 Mother Hannah's amulets have greatly bolstered my men's confidence.{S}
 You could not have armed us with any better than our faith in the Maker.{S}
 Have you spoken to the revered mother?{S}
 Has she offered anything?{S}
 I will wait for news on the matter, then.{S}
 What is it you need?{S}
 You have my thanks for sending this... statue to fight with us.{S}
 How did you manage to resurrect it?{S}
 Perhaps you should take refuge in the chantry with the women and children.{S}
 Then I wish you would tell Bann Teagan that, for we could use more fighters here.{S}
 We need a great deal of help, a kind you might very well be able to provide.{S}
 And were brought to speak to Bann Teagan?{S}
 I urge you to seek refuge, before night falls.{S}
 I will remain here to guard the village, and receive any fellow knights as they continue to return... at least until the castle is retaken.{S}
 Ah, it is sad to think of how much death there has been here.{S}
 But we have saved the village, beyond all expectations.{S}
 You have done well, my friend.{S}
 We have been victorious beyond all expectations.{S}
 Bann Teagan informed me that he would like us to wait at the castle gate, should you get the opportunity to open it.{S}
 I would prefer to enter the castle with you, but he is right--someone must remain to guard Redcliffe and bring word to the king, should our plan go... awry.{S}
 You have opened the gates.{S}
 It must be held if we are to regain control of the castle.{S}
 We will hold the gate and watch for anyone attempting to leave.{S}
 Let me know if the situation changes.{S}
 Let us go now, then, and see what awaits us there.{S}
 I am used to seeing this castle bustling with troops.{S}
 Do not tarry, if you can avoid it.{S}
 We will wait here until the gates open.{S}
 You will need to enter through the tunnel Bann Teagan spoke of.{S}
 I do not like this talk of possessions and spirits and... and magic.{S}
 Now we must either revive the arl or allow Bann Teagan take his place.{S}
 We all owe you a great debt.{S}
 I do not care what you call me.{S}
 Carry on.{S}
 I am ready to make my stand here.{S}
 Where can I get supplies?{S}
 Can no one find the other knights and bring them back?{S}
 Why did the arlessa believe anyone could find the Urn?{S}
 Have you considered using the oil in the village store?{S}
 Enough to set many monsters aflame.{S}
 What do you know about the statue?{S}
 Mother Hannah has some holy amulets.{S}
 Would those do?{S}
 I will see what I can do.{S}
 What kind of protection could she offer?{S}
 Is there anything else you need?{S}
 Where do I find Murdock?{S}
 Mother Hannah does not believe she can help you.{S}
 What kind of help do you need?{S}
 I need to leave the castle, actually.{S}
 Yes, let us go to the hall together.{S}
 G-get away, you!{S}
 Get away, you!{S}
 Not like anyone here needs it anymore, right?{S}
 Lots of drag marks on the ground, all leading up the castle.{S}
 Fine, just keep your distance.{S}
 I got here first, not that the pickings are worth fighting over.{S}
 Well, I guess you do not look the sort.{S}
 Oh, I guess you do not look like one, really, but...{S}
 I just thought vultures would get here sooner or later.{S}
 What are you doing here, then?{S}
 All the bodies were taken to the castle?{S}
 How did you survive?{S}
 Do not worry, we will not hurt you.{S}
 Do not worry, I will not hurt you.{S}
 I am still doing my best to find my way around here.{S}
 Oh, I took over the smithy after we found poor Owen dead.{S}
 I am taking over the smithy.{S}
 I guess he just gave up.{S}
 Since he does not have any living kin and we need a blacksmith, that is going to be me.{S}
 Err... you did not know Owen at all, did you?{S}
 I did not know that.{S}
 Err... this is the only thing of value I found in here.{S}
 I guess you should have it.{S}
 If I can get you anything, just let me know.{S}
 I haven't touched the forge in years, but I will provide what I can.{S}
 If I can get you anything, let me know.{S}
 Well, if I can get you anything, let me know.{S}
 His daughter came back from the castle in one piece but she do not want the place.{S}
 She is shook up, so I gave her what little he left.{S}
 If you need any work done, you just let me know.{S}
 Something I can get for you?{S}
 She came home to find her father dead, poor thing.{S}
 She do not want the smithy, so I gave her what little he left. <act>Lie</act> He was a close and dear friend. <act>Lie</act> He was a relative of mine, actually.{S}
 I see Valena has returned.{S}
 Well done, Tomas.{S}
 My name is Teagan, Bann of Rainesfere, brother to the arl.{S}
 You do not strike me as the usual pilgrim or wanderer.{S}
 Can I ask who you are and why you have come?{S}
 We do not see many dwarves in these parts.{S}
 Can I ask who you are and why you have come?{S}
 We do not see many elves in these parts.{S}
 Can I ask who you are and why you have come?{S}
 Well done, Tomas.{S}
 A pleasure to meet you, my lady.{S}
 Well done, Tomas.{S}
 My name is Teagan, Bann of Rainesfere, brother to the arl.{S}
 Can I ask who you are and why you have come?{S}
 Unfortunately, you have come at an inopportune time.{S}
 Ill-luck plagues the village, and the arl is taken to his bed with sickness.{S}
 I would laugh, except this is no joking matter.{S}
 He does not see much of anyone at the moment.{S}
 Did you know Eamon has been ill?{S}
 No one has heard from the castle in days.{S}
 No guards patrol the walls, and no one has responded to my shouts.{S}
 The attacks started a few nights ago.{S}
 With Cailan dead and Loghain starting a war over the throne, no one responds to my urgent calls for help.{S}
 I have a feeling tonight's assault will be the worst yet.{S}
 And I trust those he chooses to travel with.{S}
 You are a Grey Warden seeking Eamon's help.{S}
 He simply needs your help, first.{S}
 What do you say?{S}
 There is much to do before night falls.{S}
 I have put two men in charge of the defense outside.{S}
 We have much to prepare for, and your presence would surely be a distraction.{S}
 Please return to your post and continue keeping an eye out--report to Murdock on your way.{S}
 You have to understand... as Grey Wardens, the darkspawn are our primary concern.{S}
 Then I would have to kindly ask you not to get in our way.{S}
 Once the village is safe, we will try to enter the castle to find the source of this trouble.{S}
 I tried.{S}
 Yesterday I found out these creatures attack those fleeing on their own--even during daytime.{S}
 I have a feeling tonight's assault will be the worst yet.{S}
 Alistair, I hate to ask, but I desperately need the help of you and your friends.{S}
 Though the Grey Wardens do not stand much chance against Loghain without Arl Eamon.{S}
 At least, that is what Loghain would have us believe.{S}
 A pleasure to meet you.{S}
 Is it possible we have met?{S}
 A pleasure to meet you indeed, though I wish it were under better circumstances.{S}
 There is a Grey Warden who goes by the name of Alistair...{S}
 Does he yet live?{S}
 My brother raised him.{S}
 He does?{S}
 Is there something else you need?{S}
 That Cailan risked the entire nation's safety in the name of glory.{S}
 I do not believe it.{S}
 That Cailan risked everything in the name of glory?{S}
 I remember you, Bann Teagan, though the last time we met I was a lot younger and... covered in mud.{S}
 Still alive, yes, though not for long if Teyrn Loghain has anything to say about it.{S}
 Loghain would have us believe all Grey Wardens died along with my nephew, amongst other things.{S}
 Have you thought about it some more?{S}
 What do you need?{S}
 Why did not you just tell me this earlier?{S}
 You have good reason to be suspicious.{S}
 Hopefully we can find the source and stop it before it causes any more damage.{S}
 With luck, we will also find Eamon and be able to help him.{S}
 He wants me to be with the villagers, so everyone he needs to protect is in one place.{S}
 I do not mind, to be honest.{S}
 The point of all this is to protect the villagers, and I can do that best here.{S}
 Should the monsters find their way in.{S}
 We could bring some men in to stand beside me, but I would rather keep the monsters away from the villagers if possible.{S}
 I would prefer being outside, but Perth has a point.{S}
 I suppose we have royal blood, but it is a shaky claim to the throne... though still better than Loghain's.{S}
 And it does mean Eamon could intervene in Loghain's bid for the throne.{S}
 But let us not leap to conclusions.{S}
 This is hardly the time to be discussing personal details, do not you think?{S}
 We will have to fight for our lives very shortly.{S}
 I just do not want to spend what little time we have left chatting instead of preparing.{S}
 I did not mean to be brusque.{S}
 I do not mean to be rude, but let us focus on preparing for the battle instead.{S}
 Oh... you mean, am I married?{S}
 No, I have never had the pleasure.{S}
 If I did, I would be lucky to find a woman as lovely as yourself.{S}
 Are you married?{S}
 Mages can marry, or so I am told.{S}
 I find that hard to believe.{S}
 I am very sorry; I had no idea.{S}
 You will have to introduce me, sometime... provided we survive.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 If Connor lives, he will be the arl and I will need to help him with it.{S}
 If he is... well, I do not want to think about that.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 They seem to be walking corpses, men with rotting flesh that continue to attack even with the gravest injuries.{S}
 All I know is these things do not fall easily; you hack them to pieces and still they come.{S}
 I have those few who returned from their quest.{S}
 Now, there is only the matter of choosing where you take your stand before night falls.{S}
 Who is this you have brought with you?{S}
 You do not recognize me, Bann Teagan?{S}
 Though the last time we met, I was a lot younger, and covered in mud.{S}
 I am less surprised than you might think, despite what Loghain put you through.{S}
 I know you have business of your own here...{S}
 Is this why you have returned?{S}
 Do not say that.{S}
 You do not know that.{S}
 I had planned to make my way into the castle, once everyone was safe, and... it seems there is nothing stopping me now.{S}
 I am thankful for my life, but everyone I sought to protect is dead.{S}
 I have failed to save the village.{S}
 If need be.{S}
 Surely these people deserve some small celebration, do not you think?{S}
 And this man you see beside me... we have him to thank for our lives today.{S}
 Without his heroism, surely we would all have perished.{S}
 Allow me to offer you this: the helm of Ser Ferris the Red, my great-uncle and hero of Ferelden.{S}
 Surely, they should be allowed to celebrate their victory.{S}
 Take it, then, and use it in good health.{S}
 With the Maker's favor, the blow we delivered today is enough for me to enter the castle and seek out your arl.{S}
 Now, we have no time to waste.{S}
 Meet me at the mill.{S}
 You and so many others who have perished here, walk with He who is your Maker.{S}
 Let us bow our heads and give honor to those who gave their lives in defense of Redcliffe.{S}
 And this woman you see beside me... we have her to thank for our lives today.{S}
 Without her heroism, surely we would all have perished.{S}
 And it is this man, this Grey Warden... we have him to thank for our lives today.{S}
 Without his heroism surely we would all have perished.{S}
 And it is this woman, this Grey Warden... we have her to thank for our lives today.{S}
 Without her heroism, surely we would all have perished.{S}
 And it is these good folk you see beside me that we have to thank for our lives today.{S}
 Without their heroism, surely we would all have perished. <desc>Bann Teagan is badly wounded and unconscious, but still alive.{S}
 I... how long did I lay there?{S}
 You abandoned us!{S}
 I tried my best to help, and it wasn't enough.{S}
 Everyone I sought to protect is dead.{S}
 You have... a greater duty.{S}
 I should be thankful I am alive, it is just... everyone I sought to protect is dead.{S}
 You found me here?{S}
 How long did I lay there?{S}
 Do not tell me... <desc>You treat Teagan's wounds successfully and he begins to regain consciousness.</desc>{S}
 I had a plan... to enter the castle after the village was secure.{S}
 Here is what I propose: I go in with Isolde and you enter the castle using the secret passage.{S}
 Perhaps I will... distract whatever evil is inside and increase your chances of getting in unnoticed.{S}
 What do you say?{S}
 What choice do either of us have?{S}
 If your business with Eamon is important, you are going to have to go inside to find him.{S}
 Without Arl Eamon, we will never get the support we need.{S}
 I would prefer to go inside with you, but I have no choice in the matter.{S}
 I do not think we can afford to strip any of the few defenders the village has left, just in case.{S}
 It will open the lock on the door in the mill.{S}
 Whatever you do, Eamon is the priority here.{S}
 If you have to, just get him out of there.{S}
 I assume whatever you need Eamon for is important to you.{S}
 If not, then do it for whatever wealth you can find in the castle.{S}
 If you help his family, I am sure he will overlook anything you take in the process.{S}
 Allow me to bid you farewell... and good luck.{S}
 Do not you need Eamon's help against Teyrn Loghain or the darkspawn?{S}
 If that is not enough, do it for whatever wealth you can find in the castle.{S}
 Do you really want to endanger my little nephew and especially my brother?{S}
 I do not.{S}
 Greater evils have been loosed on the world, but I will not argue with you.{S}
 If only this had been...{S}
 Please, I beg you, do not abandon us now.{S}
 If you can open the gates from within, they can move in and help you.{S}
 I do not think there is anyone else who can help you.{S}
 If you choose not to go, then it is up to me to do what I can.{S}
 If you choose not to go, I suppose it is up to me to do what I can.{S}
 I do not know any more about this "evil force" than Isolde seems to.{S}
 I do mind.{S}
 Does he not see dwarves?{S}
 I am looking for work, if you must know.{S}
 I need his assistance.{S}
 Does he not see elves?{S}
 But you do not even know me!{S}
 I have to say no; we can not help you.{S}
 First, I have questions.{S}
 I have heard enough.{S}
 I have something else to ask you.{S}
 Why do not you just evacuate the village?{S}
 Is not there a way into the castle to get at the source?{S}
 You do not know me.{S}
 You may have known my father, Teyrn Cousland.{S}
 What has Loghain said about us?{S}
 You do not believe Loghain's lies?{S}
 I have to tell you something.{S}
 I had no idea who you were or what you wanted.{S}
 What difference does it make?{S}
 I did not know if I could trust you before.{S}
 There had better be a reward after all this.{S}
 Do you need more men in here with you?{S}
 Perhaps we should get back to the matter at hand.{S}
 Do you have any family, yourself?{S}
 You do not know a thing about me.{S}
 Neither married nor interested.{S}
 Why have you stayed?{S}
 Why did not you just leave?{S}
 What will you do if Arl Eamon is dead?{S}
 Do you know why Arl Eamon is ill?{S}
 You have some of Arl Eamon's knights here?{S}
 No, I do not know anything about it.{S}
 I came to see what had become of you.{S}
 I still need to find Arl Eamon.{S}
 There is still much more to do, Bann Teagan.{S}
 Keep it.{S}
 I do not need any reward for this.{S}
 May their ancestors give them welcome.{S}
 Do not thank me for saving your life, by the way.{S}
 I had no choice.{S}
 I found you here alive.{S}
 Or what is left of it. <act>Treat his wounds.</act>{S}
 Why did not you mention this before?{S}
 I can not let you do this.{S}
 I could stop you from doing this, you know.{S}
 We must end this evil, no matter what.{S}
 I will do my best.{S}
 I do not believe that.{S}
 What exactly am I supposed to do in there?{S}
 If I had my way, I would be halfway to Denerim by now.{S}
 Nothing gets past us.{S}
 Let me know if you need some backup with that smith.{S}
 He will not try anything stupid.{S}
 Never thought I would get to see the boss fight.{S}
 We do not need his charity.{S}
 Do not know why everyone's so excited.{S}
 I am not stopping you or anything, but... have you even heard what is happened here?{S}
 Has anyone?{S}
 So you... do not know?{S}
 Has nobody out there heard?{S}
 Then... you do not know?{S}
 Has nobody out there heard?{S}
 That was before everything started here.{S}
 We have no army to defend us, no arl and no king to send us help.{S}
 I do not rightly know; I am sorry.{S}
 Nobody does.{S}
 Maybe we <emp>do</emp> have a chance tonight.{S}
 So you are abandoning us.{S}
 If you leave, I doubt we will make it through the night.{S}
 Please... we need your help!{S}
 I do not want to think what fighting the darkspawn will be like.{S}
 They will need an army to fight in the south, now.{S}
 I am going to... get drunk first, though.{S}
 What luck you came when you did.{S}
 What do darkspawn look like?{S}
 I-I do not want to know.{S}
 I need to see Arl Eamon.{S}
 Get out of my way.{S}
 I have no time for slack-jawed fools.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 Is this something I should care about?{S}
 I have heard Arl Eamon is sick, if that is what you mean.{S}
 Where did all the bad people go?{S}
 How does it walk?{S}
 That makes sense, I guess.{S}
 I do not like being in here when the monsters come.{S}
 Everybody gets really scared.{S}
 Give me a sword!{S}
 Now we can get back to normal things, right?{S}
 Why has the king not come?{S}
 Surely, soldiers could have marched here by now?{S}
 What are they doing?{S}
 We should've loaded up the wagons and taken our chances on the road!{S}
 What will we do?{S}
 What am I supposed to do now?{S}
 The Maker will judge us by how we meet our deaths.{S}
 Night will come, and then it will all end.{S}
 It is frustrating to stand in here and watch the young take up arms.{S}
 It does not seem right that we have to face the darkspawn too.{S}
 It is good you came when you did.{S}
 It is only a matter of time.{S}
 Thank you so much for what you have done here.{S}
 We owe you everything.{S}
 I must keep close watch for monsters.{S}
 We are keeping watch should the monsters come again.{S}
 I do not think they will, but we have no way to be sure.{S}
 I am ready to fight again, if need be.{S}
 There is not much danger now, thanks to you... though we will have to face the darkspawn soon, will not we?{S}
 I do not like this any more...{S}
 Why can not I find you?{S}
 I do not understand!{S}
 Get out of here!{S}
 You have to get out!{S}
 You are the one making Father sick!{S}
 Maker have mercy!{S}
 I do not understand any of this.{S}
 The one you met at my village?{S}
 C-Connor, I beg you, do not hurt anyone!{S}
 Get away from me, fool woman!{S}
 You are beginning to bore me.{S}
 Do not hurt my son!{S}
 He is not responsible for what he does!{S}
 Wait, no I do not.{S}
 No, do not say that!{S}
 Connor did not mean to do this!{S}
 It was that mage, the one who poisoned Eamon-- he started all this!{S}
 Connor was just trying to help his father!{S}
 It was a fair deal!{S}
 Nobody tells me what to do anymore!{S}
 Nobody tells him what to do!{S}
 I warned you what would happen if you kept shouting, did not I?{S}
 Yes, I did.{S}
 But let us keep things civil.{S}
 This man will have the audience he seeks.{S}
 Tell us... what have you come here for?{S}
 What shall I do, Mother?{S}
 I do not think...{S}
 Of course you do not.{S}
 Ever since you sent the knights away, you do nothing but deprive me of my fun.{S}
 Frankly, it is getting dull.{S}
 Well, you can not have anything!{S}
 We do not like thieves and their grubby hands, do we, Mother?{S}
 I do not need help.{S}
 I can do everything all by myself.{S}
 Why did not you say that in the first place?{S}
 I think being a jester rather suits him, do not you, Mother?{S}
 But let us keep things civil.{S}
 This woman will have the audience she seeks.{S}
 Tell us, woman... what have you come here for?{S}
 And made a deal with the demon to do so?{S}
 Connor must have attracted it accidentally.{S}
 So the boy has become an abomination and sundered the Veil?{S}
 I <emp>thought</emp> the boy tore the Veil, and no doubt he did... after a demon possessed him.{S}
 Grey Warden... please do not hurt my son!{S}
 He is not responsible for what he does!{S}
 What has happened here?!{S}
 I am surprised you do not order her executed in a fit of jealousy!{S}
 You... you have seen dwarves before.{S}
 We have had them here at the castle...{S}
 Had them?{S}
 You... you have seen elves, before.{S}
 We have them here in the castle...{S}
 I had their ears cut off and fed to the dogs!{S}
 She will just try to hurt you.{S}
 I tried to stop her but I can not.{S}
 I did not think she would hurt everyone, honestly I did not.{S}
 What does that mean?{S}
 People always say things I do not understand.{S}
 But somebody has to stop her from hurting anyone else!{S}
 I do not know how much longer she will be gone for, but she is always watching.{S}
 She will not let you near Father.{S}
 I do not want her to see me like this.{S}
 She will not let me go anywhere, anyway.{S}
 After... after Mother put Jowan in the dungeon, I snuck into his room.{S}
 I found his books, the ones he would not let me read.{S}
 I should not have tried, I guess.{S}
 But Mother was so sad and I wanted to make her happy.{S}
 Then the bad lady started talking to me, in my sleep.{S}
 And when I would wake up, I would have done things I did not remember.{S}
 No, she is the one who does that, not me.{S}
 Because they would take him away.{S}
 She says as long as Father's here, people will keep coming for him.{S}
 Then she made me come here.{S}
 I do not think we do that.{S}
 I heard the priest's songs about the Maker, but I do not know Him at all.{S}
 Just... just do it, then.{S}
 She knew I did; that is why she came to me.{S}
 But then she gets very mean.{S}
 She says names have power.{S}
 I am always me, but sometimes the scary lady takes over.{S}
 Do not go near him!{S}
 She will get angry!{S}
 She will get--{S}
 I guess I have to go to the tower when Father wakes up.{S}
 I tried to help Father.{S}
 I am trying to be strong like Uncle Teagan tells me, but I miss Mother so much.{S}
 Do you miss your mother?{S}
 I guess I have to go to the Circle of Magi now, to learn to be a proper mage.{S}
 I wonder when I will have to go.{S}
 A lot of people have died.{S}
 I hope Father gets better soon.{S}
 They say I will find out when I am older.{S}
 I remember having a bad dream.{S}
 I guess I owe her thanks.{S}
 Father always said to remember to thank people who do nice things for you.{S}
 He did?{S}
 I did not know that.{S}
 Father always said to remember to thank people who do nice things for you.{S}
 I have no intention of hurting him.{S}
 What did you do with Bann Teagan?{S}
 You have been protecting him this entire time?{S}
 To help the people you have terrorized.{S}
 I need to see Arl Eamon.{S}
 I was hoping to find Bann Teagan.{S}
 I... want to stop her but I do not want to hurt you.{S}
 There has to be another way!{S}
 Then I suppose I have no choice.{S}
 I think it is best to end this.{S}
 How did this happen to you?{S}
 Why will not the demon let anyone approach the arl?{S}
 Why did you come up here?{S}
 I am afraid this has to end now.{S}
 I... can not do it.{S}
 Let us be done! <act>Attack.</act>{S}
 I will make it quick.{S}
 I need to help your father.{S}
 Do you know what she is, Connor?{S}
 Does she have a name?{S}
 I think it is time to end this.{S}
 I did.{S}
 Do you remember nothing?{S}
 Now we meet face-to-face.{S}
 Whatever you creatures of the living world want, I seek to provide.{S}
 Let us pause and speak of them.{S}
 I will never feel regret for anything I have done.{S}
 Let me make a proposition, then.{S}
 I abandon the boy... for now.{S}
 But I retain the contract he and I made, and many years from now I may return and claim what is mine.{S}
 This will be long after whatever you want is done.{S}
 In exchange, I will provide something of value to you.{S}
 Then it is a deal.{S}
 You will have what you desire... and I will leave as if destroyed.{S}
 You shall certainly need it.{S}
 Then allow me to show you what it means to touch the face of desire, creature.{S}
 I offer much.{S}
 Done.{S}
 Then we have a deal?{S}
 Very well, creature... my carnal delights are yours, provided you agree to my proposal.{S}
 Then what do you say?{S}
 What could you possibly offer me to match it?{S}
 At least with my proposal, we both get what we want.{S}
 I will not relinquish the boy's soul unless I get something for it.{S}
 No deal.{S}
 Though you are alone in my domain, I do not doubt your power.{S}
 I am not one for taking risks.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 I relinquish my hold on the boy if you allow me to leave, unhindered.{S}
 I can offer nothing better.{S}
 You have your way... and the boy is free.{S}
 We are done here.{S}
 Before I flee, let me show you what it means to touch the face of desire, creature.{S}
 You will pay for this!{S}
 I will not be destroyed without taking my price out of your soul, creature!{S}
 I go and I live, that is the deal.{S}
 Name your price, then.{S}
 You force my hand, but you shall have it.{S}
 A bargain struck is a bargain kept.{S}
 I have had my fun in the living world.{S}
 If I leave, you could tell anyone you have slain me.{S}
 One soul I already possess, I do not need another.{S}
 You need not fear me on that account.{S}
 If you wish a battle, you will have it.{S}
 Let us see if your power matches your boldness, creature.{S}
 It is here I am most powerful, and yet I have no wish to engage your power.{S}
 I just need the father.{S}
 I care not for the boy.{S}
 I will not deal with you.{S}
 And what of the death and horror you have wrought?{S}
 I want you to pay for your atrocities.{S}
 What do you think I desire?{S}
 And why would you do such a thing?{S}
 I would need some coaxing to let you off the hook.{S}
 I say no deal.{S}
 What would you give me, exactly?{S}
 Keep it simple.{S}
 I will take pleasure, demon.{S}
 Show me what you have got.{S}
 You do not want blood?{S}
 Our talk here is done.{S}
 I will not agree to you keeping the boy's soul.{S}
 How about you leave and I do not destroy you?{S}
 Then I have no choice but to destroy you.{S}
 On the contrary, I believe you can offer more.{S}
 There is nothing you can give me that I want.{S}
 How do I know you would keep your word?{S}
 What could I possibly have to talk to you about?{S}
 Unless someone finds a cure soon, he will likely die a slow and painful death.</desc>{S}
 You have been deathly ill for a very long time.{S}
 Do you remember nothing?{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 Much has happened since you fell ill, Brother.{S}
 Long I have known him.{S}
 I was there when he announced he was taking control of the throne, Eamon.{S}
 What is more, we can scarce afford to fight this war to its bitter end.{S}
 What will you do, then?{S}
 Take your few forces and throw yourself at the darkspawn?{S}
 To triumph, you will need all of Ferelden behind you.{S}
 We have no time to wage a campaign against him.{S}
 Someone must surrender if Ferelden is to have any chance at fighting the darkspawn.{S}
 Loghain will pay for his heinous crimes.{S}
 Loghain is responsible for heinous crimes and I intend to see him pay.{S}
 But it will be but a claim made without proof.{S}
 Those claims will give Loghain's allies pause, but we must combine it with a challenge Loghain cannot ignore.{S}
 We need someone with a stronger claim to the throne than Loghain's daughter, the queen.{S}
 I would not propose such a thing if we had an alternative.{S}
 But the unthinkable has occurred.{S}
 Teagan and I have a claim through marriage, but we would seem opportunists, no better than Loghain.{S}
 Does anyone care what I want?{S}
 You have a responsibility, Alistair.{S}
 I would have to support him, for the sake of Ferelden.{S}
 There, Ferelden can decide who shall rule, one way or another.{S}
 Then the business of fighting our true foe can begin.{S}
 I do not wish to proceed without your blessing.{S}
 I can delay that, however, if you have other plans.{S}
 I would prefer not giving Loghain time to consider, but it is up to you.{S}
 I do not wish to go to Denerim unless you are with me.{S}
 I shall make the arrangements.{S}
 Let us be off to Denerim and may the Maker watch over us.{S}
 It will take time for the news to spread, and I can use the interim to get my forces organized.{S}
 Until then, you have the run of Redcliffe.{S}
 But before we proceed, I believe there is the matter of the mage... my son's tutor.{S}
 He does.{S}
 Have him brought here, Teagan.{S}
 What you have done is not in question.{S}
 You tried to assassinate me and set into motion a series of events that nearly destroyed everything I cherish.{S}
 What have you to say in your own defense?{S}
 I expect no mercy for what I have done.{S}
 Grey Warden, have you anything to say on Jowan's behalf?{S}
 Now back to the matter of the Landsmeet.{S}
 And what would you have me do?{S}
 That I cannot do.{S}
 May the Maker have mercy on your soul.{S}
 But is he attempting to worm his way out of a bad situation, or is he truly repentant for what he has done?{S}
 Thus spared my wife from offering herself as sacrifice, as well, I understand.{S}
 But has he done all this just to save his own skin?{S}
 You still have allies to seek out to help us against the darkspawn.{S}
 I can hold off traveling to Denerim until you are ready, but the Landsmeet is our only option.{S}
 But even if we win... would we have enough left to defeat the darkspawn?{S}
 That everyone will decide facing the darkspawn is more vital than facing him, so that he leads us against the horde.{S}
 You have already found allies, but we need those to fight darkspawn.{S}
 Does that mean Loghain could win?{S}
 A man who killed his own king, who has gone mad with power?{S}
 We must see that he does not.{S}
 A fractured nation will not defeat the Blight, even given my army and those gathered with your treaties.{S}
 I hope it does not come to that.{S}
 If you are suggesting surrender, consider that he has already sought your death.{S}
 Why do you think he had me poisoned?{S}
 He wanted me gone without having to confront me directly.{S}
 If I call for a Landsmeet, refusing the compromise and attacking Redcliffe will only support our accusations.{S}
 Had the demon not interfered, that is exactly what would have happened.{S}
 I am not sure that would help our cause.{S}
 Unless we convince some of Loghain's allies to abandon him, that is not likely to happen.{S}
 As a Grey Warden, you may gather allies to you, but we need those forces to face the darkspawn, not to battle against our own.{S}
 You led Alistair here, you saved my life with the Urn of Sacred Ashes...{S}
 It is your lead I follow.{S}
 I am a credible enough figure in this nation to call the Landsmeet, but I hold no illusions that I could face Loghain without you.{S}
 You do not know?{S}
 He is Cailan's half-brother and has a claim to Ferelden's throne.{S}
 I imagine Duncan kept Alistair out of the battle for this very reason.{S}
 When Cailan got married, everyone thought it was best to just... have me step aside.{S}
 I do not want to be king, I never did.{S}
 You would not walk away from that meeting unscathed.{S}
 He has strength we cannot hope to match.{S}
 He has some very powerful allies.{S}
 I shall continue my efforts here.{S}
 Be swift... we haven't much time before Loghain finds a way out of this. <act>Use the ashes from the Urn to heal the arl.</act>{S}
 Then everything I have done is for nothing?{S}
 So you are giving up?{S}
 But once everyone learns what he is done...{S}
 You intend to put Alistair forward as king?{S}
 Let us go to Denerim now.{S}
 Give me some time, yet.{S}
 No, I have nothing to add.{S}
 Do whatever you wish.{S}
 I do not really care.{S}
 Let him go.{S}
 Let the Circle hunt him, if they wish.{S}
 Give him to the Circle of Magi.{S}
 He has co-operated willingly, though he has little choice.{S}
 The ritual was his idea, and he did not deceive us.{S}
 Do you think this Landsmeet idea will work?{S}
 And what if we support Loghain?{S}
 It seems we have little choice.{S}
 Why do you need my blessing?{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 Why did not you tell me this earlier, Alistair?{S}
 I was looking forward to meeting him on the battlefield.{S}
 Have you seen my son?{S}
 I can hear him, but I cannot find him.{S}
 This blasted fog has me turning in circles!{S}
 Of course, I do!{S}
 Connor calls for me and I run to find him, yet... always he eludes me.{S}
 Then leave me to find my son!{S}
 I must find Connor.{S}
 Why do I feel so strange...{S}
 No, I must find my son!{S}
 Get... get away from me!{S}
 No, it is Connor who needs help!{S}
 I must find him!{S}
 No, you are... trying to lead me astray!{S}
 I do not believe you!{S}
 I do trust you.{S}
 I can never find him in this fog.{S}
 You must find Connor!{S}
 I... do not understand.{S}
 You have seen him?{S}
 Leave me to find my son!{S}
 Find him!{S}
 I shall do whatever I can for you; please, just help my son!{S}
 Do you know where you are?{S}
 I need your help!{S}
 We must find the demon!{S}
 When Connor tried helping you, a demon possessed him.{S}
 It is your help I need.{S}
 I do not care about your son.{S}
 A demon has trapped you here, Arl Eamon.{S}
 How can you not find your son?{S}
 There is a lot of work to do if we are to be ready to fight darkspawn now.{S}
 I suppose we will have to ready ourselves for the approaching darkspawn, will not we?{S}
 We owe you a great deal.{S}
 The whole kingdom does, whether they know it or not.{S}
 It is not good to say so, but I can not help thinking its best the boy died... considering what he did, and all.{S}
 I suppose you can not blame the boy, even if he has magic.{S}
 His death would not have helped anything, would it?{S}
 That is got to count for something.{S}
 I did not think the arl would pull through.{S}
 But he has, hasn't he?{S}
 Now that the arl's awake, he is going to do something about this civil war.{S}
 We have brought lyrium and begun preparations for the ritual.{S}
 We can start anytime.{S}
 But do not tarry.{S}
 Or did you have someone else in mind?{S}
 Then I assume you must get her from your camp.{S}
 Then let us begin forthwith.{S}
 Loose a blood mage into the Fade to meet a demon?{S}
 What if he takes control of it?{S}
 You trust too much and too quickly, but I shall do as you ask.{S}
 I will... do my best.{S}
 I have never done it.{S}
 We have no idea how far Jowan's abilities have progressed or that we can even trust him.{S}
 Let us get the ritual underway, then.{S}
 It will likely engage you in dialog and tempt you with an offer.{S}
 Making deals with demons never turns out well.{S}
 It only works because the child gave himself to the demon willingly.{S}
 If the demon takes over the host forcibly, we must slay the abomination.{S}
 We have only enough lyrium for one attempt.{S}
 Let us do this now.{S}
 I have to think about it.{S}
 If he tries anything, we kill him.{S}
 Can he do that?{S}
 Do you have any last-minute advice?{S}
 I would never have forgiven myself had you died, not after I brought you here.{S}
 Is not that what started this?{S}
 You hired the mage to teach Connor in secret... to protect him.{S}
 If they discovered Connor had magic, then they would take him away!{S}
 Then we should bring him here immediately.{S}
 I do not know how much we can trust him, but we must find out what he knows.{S}
 Teagan, could you find him?{S}
 I... will try, though if he resists I will not hesitate to kill him.{S}
 Can we do nothing else?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 We would have to speak to a mage.{S}
 Without one, what option do we have but...?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Then it seems we have no options, after all.{S}
 Please do not!{S}
 He just tried to help his father; why must he pay with his life?{S}
 Do not make this any harder than it is, Isolde.{S}
 He has made his decision.{S}
 Who says <emp>he</emp> gets to decide?{S}
 Do not make this any harder than it is, Isolde.{S}
 She has made her decision.{S}
 Who says <emp>she</emp> gets to decide?{S}
 This is what must be done!{S}
 I will not let you do this!{S}
 Go, and do this quickly.{S}
 I will make Isolde understand.{S}
 What... what would it take for you to consider it?{S}
 If you can save my son, I would give you anything in return!{S}
 Then you have our gratitude.{S}
 What do you have in mind?{S}
 Save Connor and you can name your price.{S}
 Then you have my promise.{S}
 Save Connor and you can name your price.{S}
 I thought a woman would have more empathy for a mother.{S}
 Neither of which we have.{S}
 Can we do nothing else?{S}
 There may be another way, though I do not see how we can accomplish it.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 We can use the connection between the demon and Connor to find and battle it.{S}
 Though entering the Fade requires both lyrium as well as a group of mages to perform the ritual.{S}
 Entering the Fade requires lyrium as well as numerous mages to perform the ritual.{S}
 We can follow that connection, however, and do battle with its true form.{S}
 What do you mean, gone?{S}
 Why would you do such a thing?!{S}
 Your anger will not help matters.{S}
 There is... another option, though I... loathe offering it.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 We can use the connection between them to find the demon.{S}
 No, but I can enable another mage to do so.{S}
 It normally requires lyrium and several mages, but I have... blood magic.{S}
 Maybe not, but all I am saying is that I can do this.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Lyrium provides the power for the ritual.{S}
 But I can take that power from someone's life energy.{S}
 This ritual requires a lot of it, however.{S}
 I can not enter because I am doing the ritual.{S}
 Maybe I should not have said anything.{S}
 I think we should do it.{S}
 Let it be my blood.{S}
 Eamon would never allow this!{S}
 Either someone kills my son to destroy that thing inside him or I give my life so my son can live.{S}
 He should not have to pay the price.{S}
 You know more about such things than I do, and it is your companion going into the Fade.{S}
 Whatever you do, do it quickly.{S}
 There is not much time before Connor... does something else.{S}
 Then we will wait here until you bring her back.{S}
 But do it quickly.{S}
 There is not much time before Connor... does something else.{S}
 I do not appreciate being the subject of blood magic, but I...{S}
 I will do my best.{S}
 Then let us... let us get this started.{S}
 I notice you do not ask me, first.{S}
 No matter--I will go, as I am your willing slave.{S}
 You have my eternal gratitude.{S}
 You have my eternal gratitude.{S}
 It requires lyrium and more mages?{S}
 We will not find them anywhere outside the Circle of Magi, I suspect.{S}
 You could attempt to get the mages' help.{S}
 Still, we must make a decision.{S}
 I will keep Jowan here as a precaution.{S}
 He says he wants to help, so he will keep an eye on Connor with us.{S}
 You can find lyrium and more mages at the Circle of Magi--if they would even do it.{S}
 Teagan will know the promise I made, and he can convince Eamon to uphold it.{S}
 He poisoned Eamon, and he could take your life power and attack, for all we know!{S}
 He would be a fool to try.{S}
 No, I am willing to take his word.{S}
 I will give my life for the chance to undo what I have done.{S}
 I still do not agree.{S}
 Let it be me, then.{S}
 I will give my life for his.{S}
 The power has to come from somewhere, and that means either lyrium or... blood.{S}
 Then let it be my blood.{S}
 And I offer my own life.{S}
 The ritual I know... it requires life energy--a lot of it.{S}
 The ritual requires things we do not have, such as lyrium.{S}
 To generate the power needed, yes.{S}
 But I have... blood magic.{S}
 The demon in Connor needs to be destroyed.{S}
 Killing Connor is... the easiest way to do that, certainly...{S}
 How could I have suspected the mage he sent would be a murderer?{S}
 Do you not realize what you have done, Isolde?!{S}
 Eamon would only demand we do the right thing!{S}
 There must be something we can do!{S}
 He left Connor's raising to me.{S}
 When I discovered it, I was frightened.{S}
 I did not know what to do.{S}
 The ones who had it were all terrible, sinful men.{S}
 I did not know what to do when I found out!{S}
 And so you brought doom upon us all, and death to your own son!{S}
 There must be something we can do!!{S}
 I did not!{S}
 I did not summon any demon, I told you!{S}
 Please, if you will let me help...{S}
 I brought you here to help my son and in return you poisoned my husband!{S}
 Did not you say he was in the dungeon?{S}
 I assumed the creatures had killed him by now.{S}
 He must have been set free.{S}
 If this man hadn't poisoned my husband, none of this would have happened!{S}
 Your secrecy made his actions possible, Isolde.{S}
 After everything he did, he should be executed!{S}
 Without him, none of this would have happened!{S}
 I took advantage of your fear.{S}
 I think the demon has been keeping him alive.{S}
 He may have run up to his room, or...{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 The fighting may have scared Connor into... coming out again, and so he ran.{S}
 I do not know if we can save him.{S}
 Demons do not listen to reason.{S}
 I am sorry, my lady, but Connor has become an abomination.{S}
 You are lucky to be alive, Jowan, after all you have done.{S}
 I did not summon any demon, Lady Isolde.{S}
 But I did poison the arl... and that started all this.{S}
 I am... willing to help, if you will let me.{S}
 Make it quickly.{S}
 I see you have returned.{S}
 Have you made a decision?{S}
 I have no idea what will happen if someone tries to go up there.{S}
 What do you wish to do, then?{S}
 I do hope this is worth the time it has taken to assemble them.{S}
 You would murder an innocent boy who has done nothing to you?{S}
 Get out of my sight!{S}
 So long as it does not involve Connor's death.{S}
 But what can we do?{S}
 Do not hurt him!{S}
 Please, have mercy on him!{S}
 He does not deserve this!{S}
 The Circle must know some spell, or... we could bring him to the cathedral in Denerim!{S}
 We will find a way to stop the demon.{S}
 No, do not.... do not talk like that!{S}
 Please, do not go!{S}
 Make it stop!{S}
 I will... make the pain stop...{S}
 I do not intend to take him anywhere.{S}
 I brought Connor into this world; let me do what must be done.{S}
 You would take even this away from me?{S}
 Do it quickly then, Grey Warden.{S}
 How could you take even this away from me?{S}
 One day you will have your own child, and then you will understand.{S}
 No, it does not have to be this way!{S}
 We do not know that!{S}
 You have defeated the demon's creatures; it might even go away on its own!{S}
 Do not ask me to choose between them!{S}
 I can not do that...{S}
 You are just like Teagan, standing there grim-faced and telling me my son has to die.{S}
 It does not have to be like this!{S}
 Will I lose my whole family, do you think?{S}
 Give me that, at least.{S}
 I... do not wish to speak of it.{S}
 Andraste have mercy on his soul.{S}
 You have more than earned your reward.{S}
 Connor no doubt owes his abilities to him.{S}
 I do not know if you can use it, but it is by far the most valuable thing I own.{S}
 If my son is to live, I do not wish him to be without a father.{S}
 I will do that, when he is older.{S}
 I... need to be alone.{S}
 You did what you came here to do.{S}
 I suggest you continue to do so.{S}
 You will... forgive me if I do not leap for joy.{S}
 I... do not hold you responsible for any of it.{S}
 Go in peace, and do what you must.{S}
 None that I would care to explore.{S}
 Yes, that is what must be done.{S}
 No need for that.{S}
 I will try anyhow.{S}
 Perhaps we should get Jowan after all.{S}
 I am not certain you have anything I want.{S}
 I will hold you to that.{S}
 It was fun watching you get hopeful, though.{S}
 To enter the Fade we need lyrium and many mages.{S}
 What does it matter?{S}
 You think I would allow you to cast a spell, any spell?{S}
 I need some time to consider.{S}
 I need to speak to a mage, first.{S}
 We let Jowan cast the ritual.{S}
 Wynne will go, but I will have to get her.{S}
 Wynne can do it.{S}
 Morrigan will go, but I will have to get her.{S}
 Morrigan can do it.{S}
 The Circle tower is not far from here, and they owe me.{S}
 I will take that chance.{S}
 You can not keep your promise if you are dead, my lady.{S}
 Blood magic uses the life force of others as raw mana.{S}
 So you had no idea the man you hired was an assassin?{S}
 You have brought this on yourself, woman.{S}
 So Arl Eamon did not know about Connor's abilities?{S}
 Would that have been so terrible?{S}
 He will get what is coming to him, do not you worry.{S}
 I thought he would be useful, seeing as he helped start this.{S}
 Why did he run?{S}
 Give me some time.{S}
 I will keep trying.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 Get out of the way before he recovers!{S}
 We will use another option.{S}
 We will try to find some other way.{S}
 You do not need to do this.{S}
 I can do it for you.{S}
 Do not try anything foolish.{S}
 I do not trust you.{S}
 I will not let you endanger yourself, Lady Isolde.{S}
 Do not try anything.{S}
 We may not have time for another solution.{S}
 I can not do this.{S}
 Please do not make this harder than it is.{S}
 This needs to end--now. <act>Knock her out.{S}
 Do you have another solution?{S}
 You would rather the demon keep your family hostage?{S}
 I will not risk using the ritual!{S}
 You did what you had to do.{S}
 I suppose it will have to do.{S}
 No, I can not take that.{S}
 Give it to Connor.{S}
 Have you forgotten you are partly responsible for this?{S}
 I am sorry it had to come to that.{S}
 You have spoken to her?{S}
 Then you know what I did.{S}
 Poisoning Arl Eamon was what I was hired to do.{S}
 Lady Isolde had no idea when she took me in to tutor her son, of course.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I have been down here for quite some time.{S}
 Let me explain.{S}
 Then... why hasn't anyone in the castle used it?{S}
 We could all have escaped by now!{S}
 None of this makes any sense, not that anyone cares much what I think.{S}
 I meant before, when all this began.{S}
 My name is Jowan.{S}
 I never meant for it to end like this.{S}
 Let me help you fix this.{S}
 Do... do what you have to.{S}
 What do you want me to do?{S}
 You are letting me out?{S}
 If you can help anyone here... tell them I never meant for it to end like this.{S}
 I am sorry things ended this way.{S}
 I made a mistake and I am going to find some way to fix it.{S}
 I would... well, I would try to save anyone still up there.{S}
 There must be something I can do.{S}
 I would stay and try to help, if I could.{S}
 Perhaps I can help deal with whatever's been unleashed here.{S}
 Or... whatever people like me get.{S}
 I need to account for what I have done.{S}
 I know you had your reasons.{S}
 A part of me knew, right from the beginning, that I would have to face the consequences one day.{S}
 Everything I have done has just delayed the inevitable.{S}
 I am done with running and hiding.{S}
 I need to account for what I have done.{S}
 I do not think it will redeem me, but that does not mean I should not try.{S}
 I thought Loghain was giving me a chance to... redeem myself...{S}
 But he is abandoned me here, hasn't he?{S}
 I have to make it right somehow, I have to!{S}
 Connor had started to show... signs.{S}
 Lady Isolde was terrified the Circle of Magi would take him away for training.{S}
 She sought an apostate, a mage outside the Circle, to teach her son in secret so he could learn to hide his talent.{S}
 Her husband had no idea.{S}
 I have thought about it, and it is possible Connor could have inadvertently done something to tear open the Veil.{S}
 She was adamant that he never find out.{S}
 She said that he would do the right thing, even if it meant losing their son.{S}
 Because he would be taken away.{S}
 Her son having magic was... humiliating.{S}
 Connor has little knowledge of magic, but he may have done something to tear open the Veil.{S}
 I wondered how he could possibly be the threat Loghain said he was, but I did it anyway.{S}
 I have just messed everything up.{S}
 I have made such bad decisions.{S}
 I am just sick of running away and hiding from what I have done.{S}
 I am going to try to fix it, any way I can.{S}
 I know I do not deserve to call you that, after what I did... if it ever meant anything, please... help me fix this.{S}
 I think you owe me.{S}
 If... if you are still the same friend I once had, I am hoping you will help me do what I know is right.{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 If you hadn't "helped", maybe we would not even have tried!{S}
 Will not you help me try and do one thing right in my life?{S}
 I am not allowed regrets?{S}
 I have made a stupid mistake at the Circle, and now I have made an even greater one.{S}
 I have to make up for what I have done.{S}
 I have to try.{S}
 Yes, when the templars caught me, they brought me to Denerim to await execution.{S}
 I thought he would have me executed right there, but he said I could make up for my crime.{S}
 But he abandoned me here, did not he?{S}
 I never thought it would end like this!{S}
 Maker, I have made so many mistakes.{S}
 I just want to make everything right again.{S}
 But I had a hand in it, did not I?{S}
 I poisoned the arl, and that is when all this started.{S}
 Well... it is a start, maybe.{S}
 I do not know if anything I do could ever make it right.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I dabbled because it seemed the only way Lily and I could escape, the only way I could avoid being made tranquil.{S}
 I swear, if I knew what would happen, I would never have started down this path...{S}
 I would never have listened to Loghain.{S}
 That makes me feel so much better.{S}
 At least let me explain what I was doing here.{S}
 Somehow, that makes your betrayal back at the tower so much easier to bear.{S}
 Oh, who am I kidding? <desc>Sigh</desc> Let me... try to explain what came next, at least. <desc>Sigh</desc> Before I say anything else, I need to ask you a question.{S}
 You can do whatever you feel you need to afterward, but I need to know...{S}
 They did not hurt her, did they?{S}
 The thought that she might have paid for my crime...{S}
 But she did not know... about me.{S}
 I should have told her.{S}
 I should have... oh, please!{S}
 I hope that... wherever she is, she does not hate me for what I have done.{S}
 What have I done?{S}
 I should have!{S}
 It is good to know I haven't ruined everything I have touched.{S}
 I was already imprisoned when all that began.{S}
 At first, Lady Isolde came here with her men demanding that I reverse what I would done.{S}
 But the screams, they just got worse and... nobody came.{S}
 You do not know?{S}
 The arlessa had no idea what I was hired to do when she took me in to tutor Connor.{S}
 Wait... you do not look like the arlessa's guards.{S}
 Wait... you do not look like one of the arlessa's guards.{S}
 How did you get here?{S}
 You did not, did you?{S}
 Of course, you might want to kill me now, considering what I did.{S}
 You do not know?{S}
 You have spoken with her.{S}
 They told you I poisoned Arl Eamon, did not they?{S}
 You do not know?{S}
 And here I thought this could not get any worse.{S}
 Go on, have a go at me, if that is what you want.{S}
 I did not realize nothing was kicking Jowan in the gut when he is down!{S}
 Whatever would I do without your sympathetic words to carry me through the long, cold nights?{S}
 Well, it is certainly not from your lack of trying!{S}
 Do not mind him; he is doing just fine!{S}
 You think that makes it better?{S}
 You expect this to be easy, like your whole life has been easy!{S}
 What reason do I have to feel that way?{S}
 It is not like you betrayed me, lost me the love of my life, and got me thrown out of the Circle...{S}
 I have been running since I last saw you.{S}
 I have slept in ditches, in rotten logs, in the rain...{S}
 I have gone hungry for weeks...{S}
 I made a mistake, all right?{S}
 And I have been paying for it ever since, and I am so tired...{S}
 Have you found out what is going on, yet?{S}
 I have told you the only thing I can think of that might help.{S}
 Until you make a decision, I think I should remain here.{S}
 I can... keep an eye on the boy, so to speak.{S}
 Really, it is the least I can do.{S}
 Once this is over you... or they... can decide what to do with me.{S}
 That makes sense.{S}
 What... are you planning on doing?{S}
 Then what should I do?{S}
 No... no, you seem to have everything handled.{S}
 And you said, you do not want me involved, so there is nothing I can do.{S}
 Once this is over, then you... or they... can decide what to do with me.{S}
 Then I will... stay here, since you have everything in hand.{S}
 Once this is over, then you... or they... can decide what to do with me.{S}
 I will tell you, if you bring me to Lady Isolde and the others.{S}
 Do you know we can fight the demon in the Fade?{S}
 Then the boy would not have to die.{S}
 You need lyrium, I suppose.{S}
 That... might work, if you have enough time.{S}
 Did you want me to do something?{S}
 They are keeping me here until the arl revives--if he revives.{S}
 Things have just gone so wrong, and I can not take any of it back.{S}
 Can I make a final request?{S}
 Then do it.{S}
 If you are going to kill me, do it now.{S}
 I have been waiting for this.{S}
 I do not know what became of her after I fled the Circle.{S}
 You will probably never meet her...{S}
 I know you will most likely never see Lily again... ...but if the Maker sees fit to let your paths cross, tell her I am sorry.{S}
 And that I loved her till the end.{S}
 That is what they said would happen if you did not execute me.{S}
 Do not think I have forgotten.{S}
 That makes sense, though my fate will probably be the same.{S}
 I guess I will just have to be patient.{S}
 I suppose it'd be good to speak to the arl--I never did really talk to him before I... well, you know.{S}
 I do not think I can ever make up for the anguish I have caused so many people.{S}
 I suppose it is time to end this.{S}
 It seems... fitting... that the person putting me to rest should be the person I trusted most.{S}
 Why did I turn to it in the first place?{S}
 I have to admit, I have always been a little jealous of your ability.{S}
 I thought blood magic would give me more power... more control.{S}
 I knew it was wrong the minute I started.{S}
 I swore never to use it again.{S}
 I am... grateful you stuck with me through everything, and I am sorry if I have let you down.{S}
 No, I did not ask.{S}
 I do.{S}
 How did you get down here?{S}
 Why would she do that?{S}
 I do not want any trouble from you, do you understand me?{S}
 They did not want to abandon the arl, perhaps.{S}
 I am letting you out of your cell.{S}
 Do not try anything.{S}
 I do not want to see you again.{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 So how will you make things right?{S}
 So if I were to just let you go...?{S}
 Why did you poison Arl Eamon?{S}
 Why did the arlessa hire you to tutor her son?{S}
 But why did the arlessa need a mage to tutor her son?{S}
 How much magic did you teach Connor?{S}
 Arl Eamon had no idea of his son's abilities?{S}
 I helped you once in the name of friendship.{S}
 I do not know...{S}
 I do not owe you anything!{S}
 Why are you so eager to make things right?{S}
 I thought you said you did not start this?{S}
 How can you make things right?{S}
 Why did you listen to Teyrn Loghain, of all people?{S}
 But this does not explain everything that is happened.{S}
 Lily knew what she was doing.{S}
 You do not deserve to know what happened to her.{S}
 I do not know where.{S}
 You should have known better, Jowan. <act>Lie</act> She is fine, Jowan.{S}
 Do not worry about her.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I am trying to get to the bottom of all this.{S}
 So did you summon this demon?{S}
 Why did not they just kill you?{S}
 I just want to know how you ended up here, involved in this.{S}
 What have you done?{S}
 I wondered when we would meet again.{S}
 Took the words right out of my mouth.{S}
 Finally, I get a chance to kill you.{S}
 Jowan, what did you do?{S}
 Jowan... what have they done to you?{S}
 Just one more crime you have committed, then.{S}
 I wish I could make it up to you.{S}
 You brought it on yourself.{S}
 I am sorry, blood mage; it is time to end this.{S}
 No, I do not want you involved.{S}
 You will pay; it is time to end this.{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 I need to talk to the Circle about entering the Fade.{S}
 Do you have an option?{S}
 Very well, let us go.{S}
 I am not interested in anything you have to say.{S}
 You have an alternative?{S}
 I... can not do this.{S}
 You are too dangerous to let live.{S}
 You deserve whatever you get.{S}
 No, I have changed my mind.{S}
 I need some time to think about it.{S}
 I will let the arl decide your fate.{S}
 Do you honestly regret what you have done?{S}
 I am sorry it had to come to this. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 Do not make it harder than it is.{S}
 You brought this on yourself.{S}
 You get no sympathy from me.{S}
 I am sorry if I ever made you feel inadequate.{S}
 Please do not hurt me!{S}
 Do not hit me!{S}
 My... my name's Valena, the arlessa's maid.{S}
 What should I do?{S}
 I will find my way.{S}
 I do not know where everyone else is.{S}
 I do not know what happened.{S}
 People started killing each other, and then their bodies would get up and walk!{S}
 They did not attack us right away unless you tried running.{S}
 Get out of my way!{S}
 I have no time to chat.{S}
 There is a tunnel leading out in the dungeon.{S}
 The castle gates are open.{S}
 I have killed most of them.{S}
 I have only seen these creatures so far, myself.{S}
 You need to get out of the castle.{S}
 So my time grows short, day turns to night... unless thou canst set injustice right.{S}
 My nature is a simple guise; I cannot make it otherwise.{S}
 It will make you dead if you keep up the puns.{S}
 As thou dost wish, so shall it be, even though I know no were art thee.{S}
 You do not need to know what I am.{S}
 But we have lost much, and it is easy to forget simple niceties at such a time. <emp>Follow Branka's trail through the Dead Trenches</emp>{S}
 You found Branka's journal, and it seems she was headed into the Dead Trenches.{S}
 Who knows what the future holds?{S}
 You may never find us again.{S}
 We do not know.{S}
 The Grey Warden offers you a way to survive.{S}
 How did you...?{S}
 What has happened!{S}
 I do not have much time to explain!{S}
 And I... need you to return with me, Teagan.{S}
 I... who is this man, Teagan? <desc>Sigh</desc> You remember me, Lady Isolde, do not you?{S}
 I owe them my life.{S}
 I owe him my life.{S}
 I owe her my life.{S}
 Please, Lady Isolde... we had no idea anyone was even alive within the castle.{S}
 We must have some answers!{S}
 Please, Isolde... we had no idea anyone was even alive within the castle.{S}
 We must have some answers!{S}
 I know you need more of an explanation, but I... do not know what is safe to tell.{S}
 The mage responsible was caught, but still it continues.{S}
 We have survived but he will not flee the castle.{S}
 He has seen so much death!{S}
 I do not know what else to do!{S}
 He is being kept alive so far, thank the Maker.{S}
 Kept alive?{S}
 Kept alive by what?{S}
 So far it allows Eamon, Connor, and myself to live.{S}
 Once it was done with the castle, it struck the village!{S}
 It wants us to live, but I do not know why.{S}
 It allowed me to come for you, Teagan, because I begged, because I said Connor needed help.{S}
 The king is dead, and we need my brother now more than ever.{S}
 I cannot let Isolde return alone.{S}
 I must try.{S}
 I have no illusions of dealing with this evil alone.{S}
 You, on the other hand, have proven quite formidable.{S}
 Please do not take too long!{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I can not let it hurt my Connor!{S}
 We discovered he was poisoning my husband.{S}
 I did not mean... that is to say, I... please, stop this!{S}
 An evil I cannot fathom holds my son and husband hostage!{S}
 What more do you want from me?{S}
 Teagan, I do not have much time!{S}
 I do not understand what you mean by this "evil".{S}
 Did it create the walking corpses?{S}
 You are right to be suspicious... but I do not know what else to do!{S}
 Whom did you promise?{S}
 We will need more of an explanation than that.{S}
 Why do not we all go to the castle?{S}
 You do not seem very concerned about what is happened here.{S}
 We need to decide what to do.{S}
 You are going to get yourself killed.{S}
 It seems you have little choice.{S}
 Do you think this "evil" could be some kind of demon?{S}
 Why do I get the feeling you are not telling us everything?{S}
 I am sorry, I did not mean anything by it.{S}
 Then we must decide quickly what to do.{S}
 You have restored Eamon.{S}
 If anyone can force an end to the civil war, he can.{S}
 Might you have news?{S}
 We have tried more magical healing, but nothing works.{S}
 Have you not yet done so?{S}
 Very well, though this simply delays matters until my brother can decide his fate.{S}
 I think I might have figured that out eventually once he remained alive, no?{S}
 I cannot do that.{S}
 I am not sure what I can provide you with.{S}
 And Loghain <emp>could</emp> make a move against the castle at any time.{S}
 The best we can offer you is access to the armory.{S}
 Speak to the quartermaster if you have need of equipment.{S}
 You have?{S}
 Let us go at once to Eamon's side and see if the Urn's healing powers live up to their reputation!{S}
 The civil war continues, and Loghain is no doubt angered Redcliffe has not been disabled.{S}
 I hope this continues to go well, for all our sakes.{S}
 I hope it continues to go well, for all our sakes.{S}
 He does not seem to remember anything, which is a blessing.{S}
 I suppose we will need to send him to the Circle of Magi's tower for... training, once the war is over.{S}
 But our task is not done yet.{S}
 Whatever the demon did to my brother, it seems to have spared his life... but he remains comatose.{S}
 If you wish to press for a dead woman to keep her word, then revive her husband.{S}
 For that, we need the Urn.{S}
 I did.{S}
 Come speak to me once this is over and you shall have your reward.{S}
 Let us concern ourselves with the Urn, then.{S}
 It has been tried and we will continue trying...{S}
 Perhaps the demon's absence will make a difference.{S}
 If your business leads you elsewhere, I cannot hold you here, but I hope you want to restore Eamon as much as I.{S}
 He has been trying to decipher the inscriptions on Andraste's Birth Rock.{S}
 He has been studying the inscriptions on Andraste's Birth Rock.{S}
 When Eamon fell ill, Isolde sent her knights to Genitivi, in the hopes that he had finally discovered the location of Andraste's final resting place.{S}
 I hoped that he had finally discovered the location of the Urn of Sacred Ashes itself.{S}
 They were unable to find him.{S}
 I have nothing to give you... except, if we are fortunate, my brother and the armies he can muster.{S}
 But for that, we need the Urn.{S}
 Even if I wished to do it myself, I cannot abandon Redcliffe to its own devices.{S}
 Perhaps you could seek out the brother's home in Denerim and see if any clues remain on his whereabouts.{S}
 It is the only place to begin the search, I think.{S}
 I must go to the hall and begin rebuilding.{S}
 If you wish to fight the darkspawn, you will need him.{S}
 It makes sense you would seek Eamon's help with the civil war.{S}
 You need both his army and his presence.{S}
 I must organize Eamon's knights as they return, draft new soldiers, and prepare the army to fight.{S}
 I shall hand Redcliffe back to Eamon when he awakens, and in a state where it can be of some use in the coming war.{S}
 Truly, what other choice do I have?{S}
 You... found the Urn?{S}
 Did you bring it with you?{S}
 How... where did you find it?!{S}
 Wait, do not answer that.{S}
 For now, let us see if the relic's healing powers live up to its reputation.{S}
 We must find the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 The Ashes are said to have the power to heal almost any malady.{S}
 Do not forget that in your great relief, Teagan.{S}
 Eamon has much to mourn, if he recuperates.{S}
 Eamon has much to mourn and rebuild, should he recover.{S}
 I owe you my deepest thanks.{S}
 I had nearly...{S}
 There is still the matter of Jowan.{S}
 I am unsure of what to make of that.{S}
 There is still the matter of Jowan.{S}
 He performed the ritual, and did not deceive us.{S}
 I am unsure what to make of this.{S}
 There is still the matter of Jowan.{S}
 His poisoning Eamon began this whole mess, yet he lives.{S}
 We will hold him for Eamon to decide his fate.{S}
 If he does not recover, Jowan's fate is sealed.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 It was your decision to use his ritual.{S}
 You had some reason to trust him.{S}
 I thought you would have an opinion on his fate.{S}
 You spoke with him, have you not?{S}
 You know what he has done better than I do, even.{S}
 But I would not presume to tell my brother what to do.{S}
 You will find him in the dungeon, as before.{S}
 Why would you do such a thing?!{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 I shall have the mage imprisoned again, for now.{S}
 The mages are waiting to start the ritual.{S}
 There has been no sight of the mages, yet.{S}
 If you intend to continue with this plan, I suggest you get on with it...{S}
 I am not certain what keeps him there, but he will not stay there for long.{S}
 Just do what you intend to do quickly.{S}
 I will bring the castle under control.{S}
 Speak to Isolde once you have made a decision... she will go mad, otherwise.{S}
 That is all I had to say.{S}
 What if Arl Eamon does not revive?{S}
 I could use some assistance, actually.{S}
 It might never be found.{S}
 And what do I get for seeking out this Urn?{S}
 I will see if I can find this relic.{S}
 I have the darkspawn to contend with.{S}
 What will you be doing in the meantime?{S}
 I have already found the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 Why do you want my opinion?{S}
 Would you find him useful?{S}
 In fact, I would prefer to do it myself.{S}
 He is too dangerous to be allowed to live.{S}
 He is proven he can be trusted.{S}
 I do not think it is your decision to make.{S}
 This should be a matter for the king.{S}
 Do whatever you want with him.{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 I found my sister.{S}
 I had no idea that my father, the village, everyone was gone.{S}
 I have an aunt in Killarney I can stay with, I hope.{S}
 I would never have been able to return to my father if it wasn't for you.{S}
 I would never have been able to return to my father if it wasn't for you.{S}
 Jump to a Wide-Open-World plot{S}
 Why would searching for the Urn lead him into danger?{S}
 Brother Genitivi devoted his life to finding Andraste's remains.{S}
 I wonder if he should have left well enough alone.{S}
 I do not know who Brother Genitivi is, or what he says.{S}
 And you do not know if Brother Genitivi has come here?{S}
 I had some questions about Haven.{S}
 How long has Haven been here?{S}
 I do not need to know anything else about Haven.{S}
 Haven has always been here.{S}
 He is in the chantry, giving a sermon.{S}
 We keep to ourselves.{S}
 We see no need to announce our presence to the world.{S}
 You will tell me now, intruder, why you have done all this.{S}
 Why have you come here?{S}
 Why do you suddenly want to cooperate with me?{S}
 I do not need to make up for anything.{S}
 I am not doing anything for you.{S}
 All of us stumble through the darkness before being found and shown the light.{S}
 Would an apology bring back the dead, or clean the blood from these walls?{S}
 What could you do to...{S}
 You have been to the Urn, but Andraste has not been freed.{S}
 I could not do it.{S}
 You have betrayed us, betrayed our Lady!{S}
 I should never have trusted you with this task!{S}
 But I did free Andraste, can not you tell?{S}
 I owe you no explanation.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 Never did anyone any good.{S}
 Oh, I have been so occupied with the Urn...{S}
 I have missed so much.{S}
 It does not matter.{S}
 What matters is that we save him.{S}
 Perhaps it is Andraste that does this.{S}
 Perhaps it is belief itself: by believing the Ashes are magical, you make them so.{S}
 So run along and get that medallion then.{S}
 "Magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him."{S}
 Thus spoke the prophet Andraste as she cast down the Tevinter Imperium, ruled by mages who had brought the world to the edge of ruin.{S}
 Your magic is a gift, but it is also a curse, for demons of the dream realm--the Fade--are drawn to you, and seek to use you as a gateway into this world.{S}
 This has been my life's work!{S}
 To have come this far only to have to turn back...{S}
 Try not to get in the way.{S}
 Do not try my patience, old man. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Well, it wasn't exactly what I expected it to be.{S}
 Do you know about the knights who were sent to look for you?{S}
 How did you find out about Haven?{S}
 Eirik said they were ambushed, some killed, a few brought back to Haven to be questioned.{S}
 He seemed pleased that he had tortured and murdered these men.{S}
 She must have been desperate.{S}
 She could not have known she was sending them to their deaths.{S}
 There is nothing I can do but pray those men have found peace.{S}
 Isolde sent the knights to find you when the arl fell ill.{S}
 How despicable. <desc>Sigh</desc> Let us just talk about something else now, shall we?{S}
 No, I have faith that you will succeed.{S}
 I had always assumed that the temple that housed the Urn would be lost to time and abandoned.{S}
 It took years of study to narrow down its location to this range of mountains.{S}
 What do you mean by accident?{S}
 So if it was unrelated why did you set off to find it?{S}
 In it was an account of a dwarven trader who had failed to transport goods, from Orzammar, that had already been paid for.{S}
 The trader tried to gain entry to take shelter from the storm.{S}
 Unfortunately, they were turned away and had to take refuge in a cave.{S}
 He managed to find the road again and made it to Denerim, but he never saw the caravan again.{S}
 I do not think I want to hear this story.{S}
 I had asked Weylon to fetch several books from the Denerim chantry.{S}
 Among them was one I did not ask for: a hundred-year-old log of Chantry business transactions.{S}
 What does that have to do with the Urn?{S}
 And it occurred to me that they might know something about the Urn, and I decided to find the village myself.{S}
 And that is how this trouble started.{S}
 Did the villagers do something to his caravan?{S}
 I was right, they do.{S}
 When I mentioned the Urn, Eirik assured me he would take me to the temple in the morning.{S}
 He said a room had been prepared for me.{S}
 I did not realize it would be... this charming place.{S}
 So Haven has been here for at least a hundred years.{S}
 There are very few keys like this left in the world, but I have seen some.{S}
 Now let us see if we can open this door.{S}
 You may not remember, but blood was taken from you when you first came to us.{S}
 We have few choices.{S}
 We must prove we are strong enough to handle our power responsibly.{S}
 You have done this.{S}
 Wear them proudly, for you have earned them. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Impetuousness is ever the province of youth, I see.{S}
 Blood is taken from all apprentices when they first come to the tower and is preserved in special vials.{S}
 We have all been through it, child.{S}
 You must be keeping them busy.{S}
 I got the chance to look at this hall, and that will satisfy me for now.{S}
 There are people in there making things difficult.{S}
 Nothing I can not handle.{S}
 I need to discuss something else.{S}
 I swore I would protect the Urn as long as I lived, and I have lived a very long time.{S}
 Did you know Andraste?{S}
 Did anyone really know Her, save the Maker?{S}
 She would sometimes spend weeks alone in meditation, often without food or water.{S}
 I made a vow, to Andraste and to the Maker.{S}
 How is it possible you have lived so long?{S}
 You must seek Her out for yourself.{S}
 What sort of foul magic allows you to cheat death?{S}
 If you are found worthy, you will see the Urn and be allowed to take a small pinch of the Ashes for yourself.{S}
 Hmm... this mountain has veins of lyrium running all through it.{S}
 Makes you wonder what is magical here?{S}
 What exactly is keeping you alive, Guardian?{S}
 And used them to enslave the fool!{S}
 She is feeding off his innermost desires and taking away his will.{S}
 If the lad wanted a family, he could have found some willing she-mage to knock-up.{S}
 Free from the Anvil at long last, Caridin destroyed himself.{S}
 Freedom cannot be given.{S}
 The templar must choose it for himself.{S}
 If you help this man, what does he learn?{S}
 Do you really think so?{S}
 You have a point, Sten.{S}
 I will decide what needs to be done.{S}
 I am just going to give him a helping hand here.{S}
 He is not going to find it with her hanging over him.{S}
 Maker knows the qunari would not have gotten themselves into this position.{S}
 Do they let you watch? <emp>Find the spirits</emp>{S}
 Explore the winding paths of the Fade to find these spirits. <emp>Survive the Harrowing</emp>{S}
 One of the spirits, Sloth, has taught Mouse to take the shape of a bear. <emp>Survive the Harrowing</emp>{S}
 You have earned a powerful staff from a spirit called Valor.{S}
 You will have to get through me to harm the others.{S}
 I cannot allow this.{S}
 Have it your way, Wynne.{S}
 If the old lady wants a fight, she can have one.{S}
 No, please... we do not have to fight.{S}
 We will take care--{S}
 We have all made our choices.{S}
 You do not have to do this--{S}
 Still, it has led you to decide that this ridiculous Circle is to be destroyed, so who am I to complain?{S}
 Has it considered the fact that ridding the world of these mages might be of benefit?{S}
 Why make things difficult?{S}
 These mages could use some crushing, that is what I say.{S}
 But it would be remarkably satisfying, does not it agree?{S}
 You do not really think that is a good idea, do you?{S}
 You may have a point.{S}
 Slay the mages and avoid the burden of trying to separate the good from the bad.{S}
 Have it its way, cowardly though it might be.{S}
 We need to end this.{S}
 And the small one... is he to be a snack for me? <desc>Sniffs</desc> No matter.{S}
 The demon will get you eventually, and perhaps there will even be scraps left. <desc>Yawns</desc> You will just run away.{S}
 I will not waste time with a chase, not even for a meal. <desc>Laughs</desc> I know that you will fail your test and he will eat you.{S}
 Sloth has better things to do. <desc>Yawns</desc> I will not stir myself just to chase a meal. <desc>Yawns</desc>{S}
 Surely you have better things to do than bother Sloth, mortal.{S}
 Do you really wish to anger me?{S}
 Perhaps I should find new ground, well away from foolish mortals and their games.{S}
 You have a very nice staff. <desc>Yawns</desc> Why would you need me?{S}
 Go, use your weapon since you have earned it.{S}
 Be valorous. <desc>Snort</desc> Even if I were willing to help, mortal, what would you have me do?{S}
 He and I have no quarrel, and I am quite comfortable where I am, thank you.{S}
 Then I have a challenge for your friend: Answer three riddles correctly, and I will teach you.{S}
 Come get some now.{S}
 What do you know about this demon?{S}
 Just keep your distance.{S}
 I need help defeating a demon.{S}
 Please teach Mouse to be a bear.{S}
 I think you will teach Mouse so I will stop bothering you.{S}
 I need to go.{S}
 We must find ways to limit their dangerous powers.{S}
 We must find another way to oppress that which we do not understand.{S}
 Let us not speak of this anymore.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 We still have the wounded mages to deal with.{S}
 For now, we should deal with your wounded.{S}
 We have much work to do.{S}
 You saying I made a mistake sparing you?{S}
 But you did it nevertheless, no?{S}
 Amusement is difficult to come by, and I shall take it in the place of a meal if I can.{S}
 Mages can do more damage with one spell than you ever could.{S}
 You owe me your life.{S}
 You do not question me.{S}
 Look at the damage they have done to this place.{S}
 I have taken the lives of many throughout my career, but this is no measured act.{S}
 I have had it with your nay-saying.{S}
 I have taught the mouse.{S}
 Do not persist in bothering me.{S}
 Oh, have you changed your mind, mortal?{S}
 I shall teach the mouse to be more than he is.{S}
 Go, then, and defeat your demon... or whatever you intend to do.{S}
 As the mouse boy found out for himself.{S}
 This gets more and more promising.{S}
 My first riddle is this: I have seas with no water, coasts with no sand, towns without people, mountains without land.{S}
 Yet deserts have sand.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 The second riddle: I am rarely touched, but often held.{S}
 If you have wit, you will use me well.{S}
 But you must touch a handle.{S}
 One more try, shall we?{S}
 Even if you find lies amusing, I imagine you remember them.{S}
 But you have won my challenge and proven yourself an amusing distraction.{S}
 So, I shall teach you my form.{S}
 Have you ever touched your temper?{S}
 Oh, breathing requires wit, does it? <desc>Yawns</desc> No, I speak of a tongue. <desc>Chuckles</desc> You will find water and land here, my friend.{S}
 Still, you serve your function.{S}
 It would be interesting to see the mortal world through your eyes, live inside your form... but I am disinclined to begin such a struggle.{S}
 Now what do you want with me?{S}
 Do not anger me.{S}
 You and your ilk are irritating to no end.{S}
 You would have to catch me.{S}
 You would have to get up.{S}
 I do not have all day, actually.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 A handle?{S}
 I do not appreciate being called annoying.{S}
 I have thought about it, but... ah, I do not know why I am so concerned about this to begin with.{S}
 Do as you like.{S}
 Certainly the notions of morality brought up by a professional assassin are dubious at best, yes?{S}
 I cannot support this.{S}
 Let us cut the knot in half, yes?{S}
 Here, I have a skin of--{S}
 Do not touch me!{S}
 You have Valor's staff.{S}
 There is nothing else I can do for you.{S}
 Your mages have devised a cowardly test.{S}
 Better you were pitted against each other to prove your mettle with skill, than to be sent unarmed against a demon.{S}
 They would have you battle a demon.{S}
 With magic or weapon, to be the victor makes you a warrior still.{S}
 That you remain means you have not yet defeated your hunter.{S}
 I agree, but I did not have a choice.{S}
 But you would have if it was called for.{S}
 And Greagoir believes he does the Maker's work keeping the mages in check.{S}
 Are you sure they are going to make you tranquil?{S}
 A few months ago, I told you that I... met a girl.{S}
 She is taken vows...{S}
 Wait, I have seen you before...{S}
 Did you bring me here just to talk about your affair?{S}
 You are not the first mortal to seek my aid.{S}
 My purpose is to seek perfection, creating the ultimate weapon for the pursuit of valor.{S}
 Do you think these blades be steel?{S}
 Do you believe they draw blood?{S}
 A weapon is a single need for battle, and my will makes that need reality.{S}
 Do you truly desire one of my weapons?{S}
 I will give one to you... if you agree to duel me, first.{S}
 I need your help.{S}
 What else do you know about the Harrowing?{S}
 Did you create all of these weapons?{S}
 Get married.{S}
 Have some kids.{S}
 Remember I said that I did not think they wanted to give me my Harrowing?{S}
 They are... going to make me tranquil.{S}
 It authorized the Rite on Jowan, and Irving had signed it.{S}
 And if they do this to Jowan, what do I care what happens to me?{S}
 Give us your word that you will help and we will tell you what we intend.{S}
 I can get us into the repository.{S}
 The first enchanter and knight-commander each hold one key.{S}
 You could get one from the stockroom.{S}
 But Owain does not release such things to apprentices.{S}
 We have no choice.{S}
 We cannot get our hands on both keys.{S}
 We have to try.{S}
 We must have faith.{S}
 And if you can find it in your heart, wish us luck and pray for us.{S}
 The satisfaction of having of knowing you prevented a gross injustice?{S}
 The repository holds more than phylacteries.{S}
 Join us, and the artifacts will be yours for the taking.{S}
 But please give us your answer soon.{S}
 I will not do any magic or come into contact with lyrium.{S}
 I need to escape.{S}
 I need to destroy my phylactery.{S}
 You have my word, Lily.{S}
 So I have to do all the dirty work?{S}
 Let us not waste more time, then.{S}
 So what do you intend to do?{S}
 This had better be a good plan.{S}
 I will not tell anyone unless I have to.{S}
 What do I get out of helping you?{S}
 And if you get caught?{S}
 Why would they do this to you?{S}
 Proving Lobby{S}
 What are you going to do?{S}
 I have been sneaking around to meet Lily in secret.{S}
 Maybe others have seen me and assumed I must be doing something forbidden.{S}
 I have thought about it... but it will only make things worse.{S}
 I can not do that to her.{S}
 Blood magic lets mages influence the minds of others.{S}
 What if someone used it to control a king or a grand cleric?{S}
 "Magic must serve man, not rule over him."{S}
 That is why the templars--Greagoir--will pay attention to a mindless rumor!{S}
 But he has to keep the peace between the Circle and the Chantry.{S}
 I would never use blood magic.{S}
 I <emp>did</emp> set fire to the curtains!{S}
 How did this rumor start?{S}
 Then let us just tell them the truth.{S}
 We need to talk to the first enchanter.{S}
 And have you, Jowan?{S}
 May you find glory in all your achievements, mortal.{S}
 I shall have your head if the demon does not claim it first!{S}
 Have you not a demon to battle?{S}
 At least I would give you an honorable death, and not devour your essence like a greedy child.{S}
 If I believe you capable of slaying the demon, I will stop the duel and give you the staff.{S}
 If I find you unworthy, I will slay you.{S}
 I trust those rules are simple enough to remember, mortal?{S}
 You prove to me that you possess the strength to resist this demon.{S}
 Go, prove your worth as you must.{S}
 But I do not go back on my word.{S}
 Do you wish to duel or not?{S}
 You have much to accomplish, and little time to spare.{S}
 Do you understand the rules I explained to you?{S}
 If you do not convince me, I will slay you.{S}
 Are these rules understood?{S}
 Our duel begins now.{S}
 Then we fight by my rules, or not at all.{S}
 I do know that a demon has been called and told that a meal awaits.{S}
 They are brought into being by my will.{S}
 Those mortals who cannot must lead such hollow, empty lives.{S}
 So we are done, I hope?{S}
 And what are the rules of this duel?{S}
 Then prove it!{S}
 I did not mean to provoke you.{S}
 This argument gets us nowhere!{S}
 My father has one living child to assume the Aeducan throne.{S}
 Your father made me swear on his deathbed you would not succeed him.{S}
 I apologize for the interruption, Lord Steward, but the Grey Warden has returned.{S}
 What news do you bring?{S}
 We should let the Warden speak.{S}
 What news do you bring?{S}
 She finally found the Anvil of the Void and chose to stay in the Deep to work it.{S}
 She tasked this Grey Warden to give her crown to Orzammar's next king, chosen by the ancestors as the first in a millennium to lead a golem army against a Blight.{S}
 Branka sacrificed herself to destroy a cursed sodding artifact that should never have existed.{S}
 Before she died, Branka forged this crown for Orzammar's next king, chosen by the ancestors themselves.{S}
 Then tell us, Grey Warden, which king did Paragon Branka endorse?{S}
 We have argued in these chambers for too long.{S}
 This farce is ended and I can take my rightful place on my father's throne.{S}
 After all the venom we have spewed at each other...{S}
 But I am honored you did what is right for your house.{S}
 But I salute your wisdom, late though it may have come.{S}
 Do <emp>you</emp> acknowledge me as king?{S}
 Anyone undermining my reign is serving only the darkspawn.{S}
 I will return to my palace to gather my generals and prepare our forces for the surface.{S}
 You have my gratitude for all you have done for me.{S}
 You have acted with grace through this entire torturous process.{S}
 I... am somewhat surprised, Warden, given your previous predilections.{S}
 The ancestors have spoken!{S}
 Would you let a surfacer decide the fate of the dwarves?!{S}
 I have seen these papers with my own eyes.{S}
 That is why he would not give Bhelen his throne.{S}
 Do not support him now!{S}
 They brought weapons!{S}
 This Warden granted him the mercy he sought, releasing him and destroying the Anvil of the Void.{S}
 Before he died, Caridin forged a crown for Orzammar's next king, chosen by the ancestors themselves!{S}
 This crown <emp>is</emp> of Paragon make and bears House Ortan's ancient seal.{S}
 Tell us, Warden: whom did Caridin choose?{S}
 I bear a crown from Paragon Branka for her chosen king.{S}
 She wished me to give the crown to whomever I chose.{S}
 Let him retire in peace.{S}
 I did not give you that crown so you could be a tyrant!{S}
 I did what you wanted, now where are my troops?{S}
 And I have proof that Bhelen murdered his brother Trian!{S}
 You have lost.{S}
 Branka chose Bhelen.{S}
 Branka chose Harrowmont.{S}
 I bear a crown from Paragon Caridin for his chosen king.{S}
 He wished me to give it to whomever I chose.{S}
 Caridin chose Bhelen.{S}
 Caridin chose Harrowmont.{S}
 I bring a crown forged by Caridin on the Anvil of the Void.{S}
 Paragon Branka is alive, and she has chosen her king.{S}
 Paragon Branka is dead, but chose a king before she died.{S}
 We need your help.{S}
 Lily and I can not do this on our own.{S}
 If you care about what happens to me, help us.{S}
 Tell me your plan, and make it quick.{S}
 It makes me nervous.{S}
 But why have you returned?{S}
 Please say you have changed your mind.{S}
 I have the rod of fire.{S}
 You have my word: I will help you.{S}
 I have decided not to help you.{S}
 A rumor is spreading that I have dabbled in blood magic.{S}
 That is why they will not let me take the Harrowing.{S}
 If they do not kill me on the spot.{S}
 I need to talk to you about something, Jowan.{S}
 Why do they want to make you tranquil?{S}
 I can not believe you are abandoning me.{S}
 So... have you decided?{S}
 Why are you trying to get Lily in trouble?{S}
 Your test has been completed.{S}
 I do not rightly know.{S}
 Did the darkspawn get into the castle?{S}
 What is he doing here?{S}
 Until now most of them have been spotted here in the west.{S}
 Not to mention that our forces have been... distracted by the civil war.{S}
 Not to mention that we have been too busy killing each other to pay much attention to some silly old darkspawn horde.{S}
 And we will not be able to reach Denerim within two days.{S}
 But we can not reach Denerim within two days, can we?{S}
 We must begin a forced march to the capital immediately, with what we have.{S}
 If you are trying to tell us that the darkspawn taint will eventually mean our death, we do know this.{S}
 Tell me, have you ever wondered <emp>why</emp> the Grey Wardens are needed to defeat the darkspawn?{S}
 The archdemon may be slain as any other darkspawn, but should any other than a Grey Warden do the slaying, it will not be enough.{S}
 Without the archdemon, the Blight ends.{S}
 It warms my heart to see such courage, but do not hurry so to sacrifice your life.{S}
 In Blights past, when the time came the eldest of the Grey Wardens would decide which amongst them would take that final blow.{S}
 I will make that blow, then, if you cannot.{S}
 If this act will save Ferelden, I will do it no matter what the cost.{S}
 I will do my duty when we battle the archdemon.{S}
 If it comes to that, I am willing to take the blow.{S}
 Just make sure I am there when we fight that... dragon, and I will do what needs doing.{S}
 You said yourself that you do not want to.{S}
 And this way, Anora gets to be queen again.{S}
 If we do not stop the Blight here and now it will destroy all of Ferelden before the Grey Wardens elsewhere can assemble.{S}
 We keep it secret for the same reason the Joining is kept secret.{S}
 Who would become a Grey Warden if they knew the end that might await them?{S}
 If one of us is not present when the killing blow is made, it is all for nothing.{S}
 Has word been sent to Denerim?{S}
 Why did we think they were headed here?{S}
 Surely we do not have enough forces to defeat the horde!{S}
 Is it even possible to reach the city in time?{S}
 We have collected an army--let us use it.{S}
 Then we need to march at once.{S}
 Then I will take that final blow myself.{S}
 I have no intention of sacrificing my life for this.{S}
 I can not let you do that, Loghain.{S}
 I can not let you do that, Alistair.{S}
 Why does not everyone know this?{S}
 That does not sound very healthy.{S}
 I assume it has something to do with the taint in us.{S}
 I have wondered that, yes.{S}
 What do you want from me?{S}
 Let us move on to other things.{S}
 Our family... always does our duty first.{S}
 I do not have it.{S}
 Give us back what you stole, or we will take it from you!{S}
 Why, I do think I am being threatened!{S}
 Stop playing games, Isabela.{S}
 I will give you a chance to leave quietly.{S}
 Someone needs to put you in your place!{S}
 Be off with you now, and be glad I only took from you your gold!{S}
 Is it customary where you are from to give complete strangers questioning looks?{S}
 Well then, what do you want from me?{S}
 I get the idea.{S}
 More than this, you do not need to know.{S}
 If you had spent any time here or on the docks, you would know.{S}
 If Isabela consents to play a game with you, it is an honor.{S}
 You do not ask for compensation if you lose.{S}
 Do you lack the ears and eyes?{S}
 She did not "get into" the fight.{S}
 They brought it to her.{S}
 The woman who got into the fight?{S}
 Proving{S}
 She calls herself a duelist, but you cannot pay me enough to duel her.{S}
 Did you not see?{S}
 I do not know how to explain.{S}
 And look who we have here.{S}
 Ah, a Grey Warden... and I had heard that all the Fereldan Wardens were killed or exiled from this place.{S}
 Business that turned out well for you, I see--you inherited the ship, I take it?{S}
 I suppose I never did like the greasy bastard.{S}
 And the Siren treats me far better than she ever did him.{S}
 And Isabela, my dear, you will no doubt be amused to discover that I am traveling with a Grey Warden.{S}
 Any catching up Zevran and I have to do, we would not be doing out here in the market.{S}
 I could use those strong hands at my... helm.{S}
 I have heard a lot about you from Rica.{S}
 I am still held accountable for my actions.{S}
 I do not know anything about sailing.{S}
 True, but even assassins must have standards.{S}
 If you intend to kill me, I at least would have it be an honest death.{S}
 Yes I do.{S}
 To... serve you?{S}
 Do you want to live or not?{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 When you become one with her... instinct takes over.{S}
 Did Casivir tell you that?{S}
 I fight with quickness and wit, and they have served me well.{S}
 None of these poor brutes has ever proven a match for me.{S}
 And why wear armor when you can avoid being hit at all?{S}
 All I need is my ship, and the wind at my back.{S}
 And once my men have had their fill of the pleasures of dry land, we will be off again.{S}
 We are getting as far away from this Blight as possible.{S}
 I am not going anywhere near the Blight, and you would get away too if you had any sense in that pretty head of yours.{S}
 The way I see it, I can sail as far away from it as I need to, even to the other side of the far Anderfels.{S}
 Are you even trying? <desc>Yawns</desc> The answer is a tongue.{S}
 You have come so far to fail.{S}
 You know what I do to people who give me smart answers?{S}
 I eat them.{S}
 You have a duty.{S}
 If you do save us all, sweet thing, I shall return to thank you personally.{S}
 As a Grey Warden, I do not have that luxury.{S}
 Did you learn to fight like that on your travels?{S}
 I have picked up skills from many different places and turned them into a method distinctly my own.{S}
 Where did you learn to fight as you do?{S}
 Oh, do not look so surprised.{S}
 I have seen many of your kind in my journeys and there is always something... odd about you.{S}
 And it is best not to get into fights at all.{S}
 Will you teach me how to be a duelist?{S}
 I do, however, wish to get to know my potential student better, so we shall call for a drink and you will honor me with a game.{S}
 And if you were to defeat me, why, I would think that there was nothing I could teach.{S}
 No, we shall play a game and put aside thoughts of battle.{S}
 Have you ever played Wicked Grace?{S}
 My skills are not for sale, and thus cannot be bought.{S}
 Are there no other ways for us to get to know each other?{S}
 Can I just pay you to teach me so we can get on with it?{S}
 Do you have... something else in mind?{S}
 Ah, do not take this the wrong way--I am sure you are an impressive lover, but I have no desire for companionship as of right now.{S}
 Let us go somewhere private and I could... show you.{S}
 Now then, a drink, a round of Wicked Grace, else we have no agreement.{S}
 Ooh, and now you have piqued my interest.{S}
 It would surely be rude of me to decline such a... delicious offer.{S}
 Come, my ship is down by the docks, and I am sure you will find my cabins quite... comfortable.{S}
 I have enemies enough and I would like to avoid making more.{S}
 I do not want to cause offense; let us forget what was said.{S}
 Do not mind me.{S}
 I can not let you do this.{S}
 N-not without me... uh, keeping an eye on the both of you.{S}
 You are going to have to speak clearly, Alistair.{S}
 You could join in.{S}
 I will have to think about that.{S}
 Oh my, what have I got myself into?{S}
 I guess I will have to play along. <desc>Grunts</desc>...{S}
 T-too much to handle...{S}
 Ah, that impish smile of yours, Leliana, you little minx... it just gives you away.{S}
 Ah, this brings back memories...{S}
 I suppose I did not give it much thought.{S}
 Does not what we have mean anything to you?{S}
 Please... do not tell me you really want to...{S}
 I did not realize that someone had already claimed you.{S}
 You are welcome to join us.{S}
 You have your hands full as it is with these two.{S}
 I would prefer to spend time with Isabela alone.{S}
 Isabela has more than enough to handle right now.{S}
 I will hold you to that, Zevran.{S}
 I swear by Flemeth's beard, if her stink rubs off on you, I will never touch you again.{S}
 First, you must know that there are four suits: serpents, angels, knights and songs. <desc>Isabela explains the rules of Wicked Grace to you, and you quickly grasp the game's basic concepts and strategies.</desc>{S}
 Before we start, the cards must be shuffled.{S}
 Then will you teach me what you know?{S}
 Five cards each to start with... and may the cleverest player win.{S}
 Are you done yet?{S}
 We seem to have run out of ale.{S}
 And this card I shall play face-down, I think...{S}
 I shall draw another card, and you may draw another too, if you wish. <act>Continue playing the game.</act>{S}
 I have three angels: fortitude, truth, and charity, and the knight of dawn.{S}
 I win! <desc>Sigh</desc> Give me a moment.{S}
 Sodding fabulous! <desc>Laughs</desc> It will be like being drunk all the time, but without spending all that time actually swallowing.{S}
 Just anytime, a great sodding big bird can fly overhead and take you away.{S}
 If I could fight Randar Vollney's second after downing fifteen lichen-ales in half an hour, I am not going to be put off by a high sodding ceiling.{S}
 Well, let us get moving.{S}
 Just give me one sodding moment.{S}
 I have had it.{S}
 If saving the surface means working for someone like you, I say let the sodding world burn!{S}
 Sure, take your time.{S}
 You never really get over that feeling.{S}
 Get over it.{S}
 We have work to do.{S}
 Well, take your time.{S}
 I need you ready to fight.{S}
 We do not have a moment.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 I do not think I have ever seen quite so odd a hand.{S}
 Oh, dear... is that what you have?{S}
 Do you need me to go through the rules again?{S}
 I have four knights: roses, ages, sacrifice, and wisdom.{S}
 Oh, you have a real mouth on you, huh?{S}
 Get back in line and shut up.{S}
 Look, give me a chance.{S}
 We need you with us.{S}
 You have two angels and three knights!{S}
 That is one of the best hands I have ever seen.{S}
 You have won!{S}
 I have a good feeling about this game.{S}
 Ah... you have that familiar glint in your eye.{S}
 Good cards, I take it? <act>Try to catch Isabela's hand as she is drawing a card.</act> <act>Attempt to steal a winning card from the deck.</act>{S}
 You just drew a card you discarded before. <act>Lean over and sneak a peek at Isabela's cards.</act> <desc>Isabela does not see your swift movement in time to react.{S}
 You grab her wrist firmly, and startled, she drops the card she had secretly palmed.</desc>{S}
 Keep your hands to yourself.{S}
 Will I never meet my match?{S}
 Now, now... there is no need for such petty accusations.{S}
 You will get better with practice.{S}
 Hey, what are you doing, sneak?{S}
 I refuse to continue this game; who knows what else you have been doing.{S}
 I... where did my cards go?{S}
 Did I drop them?{S}
 I... have nothing.{S}
 I must not have been paying attention, I-- <desc>You catch a quick glimpse of Isabela's hand, and you do not think she noticed you.{S}
 I will have to hold my cards closer next time.{S}
 And I have songs of twilight and autumn, serpents of decay and sadness.{S}
 Wait a minute, those are my cards... did you steal them from me?{S}
 I do not know how you did it, but... you have definitely made an impression.{S}
 I understand you shall take charge of your father's castle once we march.{S}
 Not if I have anything to say about it.{S}
 How is it that you do not know who I am?{S}
 I have the angels of truth and temerity...{S}
 I wish to play again.{S}
 I refuse to play another game with you.{S}
 If I could have a moment of your time... excuse us, Isabela...{S}
 I will be here, should you wish to play again.{S}
 I have played your game.{S}
 You are supposed to teach me now.{S}
 I suppose I could play you again.{S}
 I think I need a rest for now.{S}
 You have proven yourself quick and resourceful, and I would be honored to pass my skills on to you.{S}
 Teach me now.{S}
 I will be back; you can teach me then.{S}
 Do not be long.{S}
 I have been here since we left Orzammar.{S}
 Holding you back?{S}
 Got it?{S}
 Let us get moving.{S}
 Keep it up.{S}
 Pray we never meet again.{S}
 You will do as I say, Oghren, and I say stick around.{S}
 Get up and get out of here, dwarf.{S}
 Get back in line, or I will finish it.{S}
 I feel several times more stupid for having played you.{S}
 I will need a few months to recuperate, at least!{S}
 And so do I.{S}
 I have never been so bored in my entire life.{S}
 Come, we will need some space for this.{S}
 Ahem... you <emp>do</emp> know that Isabela is cheating, do not you?{S}
 I thought she might have been.{S}
 Let me help.{S}
 Will you play again?{S}
 I can do this myself.{S}
 I will play again.{S}
 I will take whatever help I can get.{S}
 Fine, but we had better win the next game.{S}
 Do you realize it?{S}
 I think she has an ulterior motive.{S}
 She wants to know if you are smart enough to be a duelist, and this is her way of finding out.{S}
 I know, and I can not do anything about it. <desc>Zevran motions for you to discard two of your cards.{S}
 Isabela does not seem to notice that you are communicating.</desc> <desc>Leliana motions for you to pick up several of the cards Isabela has discarded.{S}
 Isabela does not seem to notice that you are communicating.</desc>{S}
 You certainly have quick reflexes.{S}
 And as for me cheating, well, the game does not matter.{S}
 I suppose you may as well make yourself useful.{S}
 Do not try to compare yourself to me.{S}
 It was nice meeting you.{S}
 What can Isabela do for you today?{S}
 I do not think there is anything else I can teach you.{S}
 Perhaps tell those you meet where you learned what you know.{S}
 I am back to play your game.{S}
 Teach me to be a duelist.{S}
 L-let us never speak of this again.{S}
 Perhaps letting me borrow him for a week every summer?{S}
 Well, that brings back memories, does not it, Zev?{S}
 Well, I suppose I could teach you now, if you still want me to.{S}
 It is been a while since I have bedded anyone but sailors.{S}
 I do not have to; I just want to.{S}
 We did.{S}
 You do not have to keep mentioning it.{S}
 Just teach me what you know.{S}
 Teach me now.{S}
 Did not we have an agreement here?{S}
 Can you teach me now?{S}
 I still remember the time your husband tried to kill me.{S}
 I had to flee across the rooftops completely unclothed.{S}
 That is putting it mildly.{S}
 I daresay the cloisters must be teaching things other than the Chant of Light.{S}
 I do not!{S}
 Why, what can I tell you that you do not already know?{S}
 I do not mind never speaking of it again, as long as we could do it again.{S}
 Am I getting old, or has Zevran become even more depraved over the years?{S}
 I have been about Grey Wardens.{S}
 Perhaps the taint has rubbed off on me some, hmm? <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 I am sure we could work out a deal.{S}
 Not that the idea of being borrowed is not terribly fascinating, but let us not forget the darkspawn.{S}
 Which, I suppose, is exactly what I would do with Alistair, though I suspect he would enjoy it while the ship would not.{S}
 You may be many things, sweet Leliana, but as you have proven today, you are no lady.{S}
 Why do not you ask Alistair?{S}
 I do not own him.{S}
 All right, then teach me what you know.{S}
 If you want, we can start over, but I am going to be watching you closely this time.{S}
 No, I guess I will just play the game.{S}
 I got a moment, sure.{S}
 Whatcha need?{S}
 Oh, what do you think?{S}
 I spent two years trying to save her, while she was off boffing that tramp and feeding my cousins to the darkspawn!{S}
 And there is no way to ever make things better.{S}
 You want to get moving now?{S}
 I guess I could use a bit of the old mortar and pestle, if you are digging my trench.{S}
 Made you turn a little red there.{S}
 I gotta try that one out on Alistair, see what color I get.{S}
 I was starting to think of my pants as a home away from home.{S}
 She sure as Stone used to be!{S}
 Way back when, when we got going people thought it was the darkspawn coming through.{S}
 Do not you give me that look.{S}
 I have still got a trick shoulder from it.{S}
 You did what you thought was right, Warden.{S}
 I just wish there was another way it has ended.{S}
 I swear to the Stone, the next time someone asks me that, I will write my name in bruises on their ass.{S}
 Ancestors take me, you people whine like teakettles around here.{S}
 Handling what?{S}
 Oh, you do not know her.{S}
 What is she got that I do not?{S}
 I am, ah, just gonna go back to the tent for a moment.{S}
 Let us get back to it.{S}
 You should try it.{S}
 Pretty soon, everyone'll be doing it.{S}
 No one has any idea who you are.{S}
 Or what you are doing.{S}
 Who would have thought, ale made with grain!{S}
 I have to admit, though, I do miss home.{S}
 The only way I would go back is if they all lined up to kiss my ass and did not care if they lost their caste for doing it.{S}
 But you have to admit, given the choice, a nice clean burial sounds pretty appealing, no?{S}
 You got something to say?{S}
 Maybe finding this Felsi will help you forget.{S}
 A tumble would probably do you some good.{S}
 If there is any way I can help, let me know.{S}
 You are handling this well.{S}
 I need you ready to fight, not pining over lost love.{S}
 How do you like the surface?{S}
 Do you ever want to go back there?{S}
 I do not find you useless, Oghren.{S}
 Maybe you could try not to be useless anywhere.{S}
 I bet.{S}
 Oh, get over it, you homesick little baby.{S}
 Hey, let us go find something to kill, huh?{S}
 All this talk makes my hands twitchy.{S}
 Your brother might try and reinstate you, or something.{S}
 Would not work that way for me, anyway.{S}
 I suppose Harrowmont might try to get your title back, but I would not bet on it.{S}
 Maybe the shapers can spew you some kind of excuse and give your title back.{S}
 You want to go back to where you eat trash and get beaten for walking on the wrong street?{S}
 I guess we are all a bunch of whimpering softies in the end.{S}
 Anyhow, let us keep moving.{S}
 If anyone finds out I was getting all mopey, I would lose my reputation.{S}
 And you got me all misty again.{S}
 I will just be over there, if you need something killed.{S}
 Aye, I do.{S}
 They treated me like a puddle-fly back there.{S}
 Do you miss Orzammar?{S}
 The dark and the burning keeps Ruck warm... warm like Mother's arms--{S}
 Get away from me, you sodding freak!{S}
 Instead, he chose <emp>this</emp>.{S}
 I would put him out of his misery.{S}
 He is almost a darkspawn himself, and you are just letting him...{S}
 Do not let him upset you.{S}
 Do what you want.{S}
 You will do it anyway.{S}
 Now do it quick so we can get back to business.{S}
 We should at least put him out of his misery.{S}
 I have seen victims of poisoning in better shape.{S}
 He may not live as we do, but that is no reason to kill him.{S}
 You have left our city in ruins--die!{S}
 He is no longer who he used to be.{S}
 I will not have you questioning my decisions.{S}
 You have coin, stranger?{S}
 With Orzammar closed off, old Tegrin can give you a discount.{S}
 Fine weapon and arms, dwarven-made.{S}
 Let us see this discount of yours.{S}
 You have helped us again, Warden.{S}
 They must pay for their crimes! <desc>Howls</desc>{S}
 So I am to follow you like a dog and have no say in what we do?{S}
 Get your arses off of Bann Telmen's land.{S}
 I suppose you will do as you wish.{S}
 Well, if you need to dispose of darkspawn bodies after the Blight...{S}
 We are not Orlesian lick-spittles; we owe <emp>no</emp> man our allegiance.{S}
 Take their lands by force, men.{S}
 I am taking these apprentices to Redcliffe.{S}
 The first enchanter says you need every able-bodied mage for the war.{S}
 Will you stop eating?{S}
 But we have been looking at the road for hours.{S}
 Will one of you pay attention?!{S}
 Orzammar has heard your call.{S}
 We are trying to keep the roads clear and safe.{S}
 Please do not do anything to me.{S}
 I have only been trying to help.{S}
 Do not be scaring good Master Levyn.{S}
 Everyone, let us move.{S}
 The Warden has more... important matters to attend to.{S}
 Even in the very bowels of the earth, we hear no end of this Chant.{S}
 Just players in a play?{S}
 If I ever come across one of them, I will give them a what for.{S}
 I got a boil the size of your nose on my big toe, and some "beings" are enjoying this?{S}
 I want to fly; make me fly!{S}
 Do not let him get away!{S}
 She did it!{S}
 He did it!{S}
 But the good ser has such a regal manner.{S}
 For one thing, she hasn't got dung all over her.{S}
 For one thing, he hasn't got dung all over him.{S}
 What were you doing in that cage?{S}
 Why did you come to Ferelden?{S}
 How did a child survive that?{S}
 It is a boy--five fingers, five toes, that is all that matters to me.{S}
 The Maker has answered our prayers!{S}
 Let us go home, Marta, and raise the tyke as our own.{S}
 Let them worship whatever they like.{S}
 Each must find his own way to the truth.{S}
 What do you need from me?{S}
 This is my decision to make.{S}
 You and I , we have...{S}
 You know how sometimes, you spend time with... people, and things...{S}
 Keep your hands where I can see 'em!{S}
 Sheesh, can not a man address a friend without getting all... weird?{S}
 I was thinking, I do know some people out here on the surface.{S}
 Her name's Felsi.{S}
 That iron-thighed shrew had left me long before.{S}
 I grant you, I did not find out about that 'til after, but hey.{S}
 There was this thing she did with a tube of rendered nug fat... what?{S}
 I did not do anything.{S}
 Ah, sod it, I do not remember.{S}
 I will find her on my own when we get through this.{S}
 You always have to think the worst of someone.{S}
 You whipped out the knife, did not you?{S}
 Felsi and me, we did not leave things on the best of terms.{S}
 And she got to be controlling.{S}
 And Oghren was meant to be free.{S}
 Anyway, she could not handle everyone wishing they could be with me.{S}
 I do not give sod-all what you believe.{S}
 I just want to find her, that is all.{S}
 There is some things I do not tell anybody.{S}
 Are we doing this or not?{S}
 You do not have to bring out the eyebrow.{S}
 I am sure she will welcome us with open arms.{S}
 But I have forgotten most of it myself, so it should be fine.{S}
 Oh, aye, you got me there.{S}
 Name's Felsi, and she was a fiery one.{S}
 I will do what I want.{S}
 Aye, well, let me go first.{S}
 Oh, aye, you have got time to go off traipsing about after darkspawn, but you got no time for your pal Oghren, is that it?{S}
 Stone forbid I get in the way of your great, important quest, just to ask one little favor.{S}
 What do you mean, you were "friends?"{S}
 You are just making those up, are not you?{S}
 Why did she leave?{S}
 Well, I think we might have time to find her for you.{S}
 What is she doing on the surface?{S}
 We will find her.{S}
 I do not believe you.{S}
 I do not need to get into this.{S}
 If you have something to tell me, do it now.{S}
 We will find this Felsi.{S}
 We will look for her if we have time.{S}
 Do you know how to find her?{S}
 And you want to go find her?{S}
 And how do you know this woman?{S}
 I do not think you should rush into something so soon.{S}
 Take your time.{S}
 Oh, by the Maker, we do not have time for this.{S}
 I had something to ask you.{S}
 I do not have time for that now.{S}
 You are giving me gloves?{S}
 Taliesen is dead, and I am free of the Crows.{S}
 He must be, or you would not have returned.{S}
 I am free of the Crows.{S}
 I have come to a decision.{S}
 I think the time has come for me to go.{S}
 I do not know why I agreed to remain, for things have certainly become no more pleasant.{S}
 I take it you have found... another more compatible with your tastes?{S}
 Here... it seems an appropriate moment to give you this.{S}
 I have a question for you.{S}
 I did not thank you.{S}
 It occurs to me now that you have freed me from the Crows, and yet I did not think to thank you for it.{S}
 I have a question, if I may.{S}
 Care to join me in my tent?{S}
 Care to tell me about that last mission now?{S}
 Do you stare at everyone like that?{S}
 Why did you want to leave the Crows, exactly?{S}
 Do you actually enjoy being an assassin?{S}
 You must have quite a history.{S}
 We need to end this.{S}
 You had to go all... <emp>that</emp> on me.{S}
 I have forgotten.{S}
 There are not enough of you for all the alliances you make.{S}
 Fool's errand upon fool's errand, that is all it ever seems to get up to.{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 You gave Lord Harrowmont your word!{S}
 My lady, you do not know Harrowmont as we do.{S}
 Long has he plotted to steal the throne from the Aeducans--{S}
 You wish to know about Antiva, do you?{S}
 Every land has its assassins.{S}
 Some are simply more open about their business than others.{S}
 It is not really a matter of wanting to go back.{S}
 Do you come from someplace comparable?{S}
 I have never seen that place.{S}
 I am sure it has its charms.{S}
 If you were, then surely you would spend as much time boasting about it as I do! <desc>Laughs</desc> You have me there, indeed!{S}
 I, for one, can make no such claim as I never laid eyes on the woman!{S}
 For years I lived in a tiny apartment near Antiva City's leather-making district, in a building where the Crows stored their youngest recruits.{S}
 It is my first time away from Antiva, however, and the thought of never returning makes me think of it constantly.{S}
 I do not know what the Antivan tanners do that is different, but there is no leather more supple nor more fragrant.{S}
 It reminds me of all the idle pleasures I got up to in that little apartment... but yes, it is true.{S}
 Before I left, I was tempted to spend what little coin I possessed on leather boots I spotted in a store window.{S}
 I thought, "Ah, Zevran, you can buy them when you return as a reward for a job well done!"{S}
 There is plenty that you could discover about Antiva if you read some dusty old book.{S}
 I can but offer you what it means to be Antivan.{S}
 I should not be so quick to take offense.{S}
 Let us forget this conversation and move on.{S}
 And there is no need for your questions.{S}
 Let us discontinue this discussion.{S}
 How could I have suspected I would end up defeated by a beautiful Grey Warden, a woman who then spares my life?{S}
 I am not sure that is the route I would take, were I to continue old habits... but as you wish.{S}
 How could I have suspected I would end up defeated by a handsome Grey Warden, a man who then spares my life?{S}
 Do you object?{S}
 How could I have suspected I would end up defeated by a Grey Warden and then spared my life to fight the darkspawn?{S}
 I see the Grey Wardens do not recruit fools.{S}
 I see the Grey Wardens look for very serious recruits.{S}
 It makes me wistful and hungry for a proper meal. <desc>Laughs</desc> It may as well be!{S}
 And it has assassins.{S}
 Do not you want to go back?{S}
 You do not like Ferelden?{S}
 My people have no cities.{S}
 Do not be an idiot.{S}
 You sound like you have been away from home forever.{S}
 There is no need to get upset.{S}
 Do not bother.{S}
 You need to make the most of where you are.{S}
 Do not make me change my mind.{S}
 This I have to hear.{S}
 Just as your Prince Bhelen plotted to have his siblings killed and exiled?{S}
 Keep your companion under control.{S}
 Do not do this.{S}
 Your brother used you once; he will do so again.{S}
 Must you get so close?{S}
 I must find it in me to forgive him.{S}
 If it will please you, I will not work with Bhelen.{S}
 I do not wish to argue this.{S}
 I made my decision.{S}
 I think you are making a mistake.{S}
 Working against him might harm Rica and my nephew.{S}
 It is my mistake to make, then.{S}
 I did not like Harrowmont that much.{S}
 Playing both sides?{S}
 Do you have to be so literal?{S}
 Fine, let us drop this for now.{S}
 I am just keeping our options open.{S}
 I do not know enough about either to make a decision.{S}
 Why would the qunari care about the Blight? <desc>There are numerous papers here.</desc> <act>Look through the papers.</act> <act>Leave the papers alone.</act>{S}
 This is how things are done in Orzammar.{S}
 You will have to choose eventually.{S}
 Then choosing one is the same as choosing the other.{S}
 What matters is having the courage to make the choice.{S}
 Is not it obvious I have chosen to serve Bhelen?{S}
 Qunari have no kings.{S}
 Why does he care about the Blight?{S}
 Why do you?{S}
 Do you think the qunari live on some other world, then?{S}
 If the darkspawn are attacking Ferelden, does not that mean there are fewer preying on your own people?{S}
 You do not ask.{S}
 Nor do I.{S}
 Do not strain yourself pondering that.{S}
 I do not know why the arishok sent us.{S}
 What do you have, then?{S}
 Did you find the answer to his question?{S}
 I do not just bumble into things like you do.{S}
 We will have to agree to disagree.{S}
 I know what I am doing.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I prefer to take a more cautious approach.{S}
 Do not you have to report back, then?{S}
 Then I suppose we should stick to supporting Harrowmont.{S}
 And it was picked to be a Grey Warden... why?{S}
 When are you going to do that?{S}
 So what are you still doing here, then?{S}
 And you did not take me?{S}
 What kind of women do you think I--{S}
 Well, aye, Branka did try to trap us in the Deep Roads.{S}
 Rumbling Stone, I have been looking forward to this.{S}
 Lead the way, Warden.{S}
 I wanted to make sure it'd be safe to take you.{S}
 She does not seem interested in seeing you.{S}
 I will take you there next chance we get.{S}
 I am not taking you there.{S}
 We will go when we have a chance.{S}
 Now that you have helped werewolves slaughter an entire clan?{S}
 So they did.{S}
 Do you feel a profound kinship to strange humans simply because they are human?{S}
 Do you feel a profound kinship to strange dwarves simply because they are dwarven?{S}
 Do you feel a profound kinship with all other elves, simply by virtue of their race?{S}
 Too many of our kind think we deserve pity simply because we have failed to defend ourselves.{S}
 I know little else about her, but it occurs to me that any of these elves you have slain could have been family.{S}
 Though I doubt that matters at all to you.{S}
 Do not dwell on it further, for I shall not.{S}
 I do not.{S}
 Had they been stronger, they would have survived.{S}
 So just the Dalish in general as opposed to the ones we have actually met, hmm?{S}
 She had fallen in love with an elven woodcutter and accompanied him back to the city, leaving her clan behind for good.{S}
 And there, of course, the woodcutter died of some filthy disease and my mother was forced into prostitution to pay off his debts.{S}
 I did not know my mother, either, of course.{S}
 She died giving birth to me.{S}
 We were all raised communally by the whores.{S}
 It was a happy enough existence, ignoring the occasional beating, until eventually I was sold to the Crows.{S}
 I brought a good price, so I hear.{S}
 They were of Dalish make, I knew that much, and beautiful.{S}
 I had to keep them hidden, of course, as we were not allowed such things.{S}
 Eventually they were discovered, and I never saw them again.{S}
 I do not feel anything about them.{S}
 I even had the notion once to run off and join them.{S}
 Naturally the reality did not live up at all to the fantasies I had constructed as a boy, staring at those gloves.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 Oh, there has been plenty.{S}
 Still, even I eventually thought that it would be better for me if I ran off to join the famous Dalish when one of their clans drew near Antiva City.{S}
 Still, that did not stop me from running off to join a clan when it drew near Antiva City, once.{S}
 In fact, I ran off to join a clan once when they drew near Antiva City, thinking that there I would find my true calling.{S}
 It could have been much worse.{S}
 Shall I tell you about what happened to the other whorehouse boys who did not fetch a decent price with the Crows?{S}
 Surely your life has not been so idyllic?{S}
 Buffeted by the winds of fate, brought to this point by both circumstance and excellence?{S}
 I wonder if those you have killed would say otherwise.{S}
 But no matter.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 Is the thought that you have arrived here solely out of self-determination better, I wonder?{S}
 No matter.{S}
 Do you feel that way because they are elven?{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 I would not have thought you would have a problem with murder.{S}
 What does this have to do with the Dalish?{S}
 But how do you feel about the Dalish in general?{S}
 Has there been no joy in your life at all?{S}
 But you do not think of yourself as Dalish.{S}
 I do not believe in fate.{S}
 It does not matter now.{S}
 My cousin and I have trade connections all along the seaways.{S}
 We have furniture, silks, carvings, and much more.{S}
 Cesar handles the trade stock.{S}
 I handle other affairs.{S}
 Business deals, meetings.{S}
 Cesar makes it so I am free of the day-to-day concerns of our store.{S}
 What stories do you have of Antiva?{S}
 We keep the darkspawn waiting.{S}
 Lets go.{S}
 It has been many, many years since I have seen her.{S}
 You can live a longer life out here, and a wise man can make a comfortable fortune in time.{S}
 I fear this conversation has tired me.{S}
 Do you know any tales of the Crows?{S}
 Any moment in Rialto the streets can run red, and often do.{S}
 I would take darkspawn any day.{S}
 What sort of goods do you have?{S}
 You have returned, Warden.{S}
 I am not surprised you do not recognize it.{S}
 I am afraid my appetite for conversation has waned.{S}
 Do not cross me, trader.{S}
 Which I suppose <emp>you</emp> have?{S}
 Finding Ser Gilmore.{S}
 Finding Father.{S}
 As I was saying, we have evidence of Harrowmont deceiving certain nobles.{S}
 Maybe we have some things we can talk about.{S}
 Other Crows may try to kill you, but in my eyes, you are already dead.{S}
 Who do you blame for a death--the sword or the swordsman?{S}
 Crows are swords--instruments used by someone else for their own reasons.{S}
 He and his employees will do their job or die trying.{S}
 But the Crows as a whole have no bias.{S}
 I can not stress enough that I wasn't hired to do anything.{S}
 I would like to see you do any better.{S}
 Do you take me for a fool?{S}
 That is a contract I would never take.{S}
 I suspect we leave far fewer bodies in our wake than you do.{S}
 Give me one reason I should not kill you.{S}
 If the job is not done the first time.{S}
 But I am hoping we can make sure that does not happen.{S}
 I have only heard of the one time the entire House of Crows was hired for a job.{S}
 And you have it memorized?{S}
 On the whole I do not like direct questions.{S}
 Lots of people not getting along.{S}
 So you are the ones trying to kill me?{S}
 Sometimes they <emp>really</emp> do not get along.{S}
 Maybe want to do something about it.{S}
 The people that handle that sort of thing can get real busy.{S}
 But everything's a matter or perspective, right?{S}
 And none of those perspectives matter to a grieving widow.{S}
 I fight for a cause.{S}
 It takes time to do a good job--pride in your work and all--but customers have expectations.{S}
 Not many people to turn to if you are short-staffed in some lines of work.{S}
 Make some coin.{S}
 Talk to Cesar back at our stall if you want to buy something.{S}
 Not interested, do not contact me again.{S}
 Get the Warden, men!{S}
 It is not for me to teach the Qun.{S}
 Do not you learn the things your priests teach?{S}
 One who cannot keep his own men from running like frightened children?{S}
 Lord Harrowmont does not use threats or intimidation to motivate his men.{S}
 He leads by example.{S}
 What did you mean about human wisdom?{S}
 What did you mean about fiends in Seheron?{S}
 We have no mages such as you do.{S}
 We have beasts in the shape of men, who perform tricks.{S}
 Perhaps if humans sought wisdom beyond the walls of chantries, they might find it now and then.{S}
 Ours wear the faces of men.{S}
 You would be nervous if someone was out to get you.{S}
 Why do not you have mages?{S}
 Beasts can not do magic.{S}
 We have mages.{S}
 We simply do not have the sort you do.{S}
 You read it, you learn about someone interesting.{S}
 If you find out something happens to him, something unfortunate, then if we talk again I give you money for "letting me know."{S}
 You do not like what is on the scroll, do not do anything.{S}
 Maybe he has an accident and someone else tells me all about it.{S}
 How does this work, then?{S}
 If I do this for you, I want no more Crows after me.{S}
 Someone <emp>is</emp> out to get me, unless you have forgotten.{S}
 Were I you I would seek a stronger king than this Harrowmont.{S}
 That I cannot do.{S}
 One master has a contract on you.{S}
 But if you help us out, maybe if that master asks for help he will just get silence, yes?{S}
 Then you agree to fight in Harrowmont's name?{S}
 Makes for fine reading.{S}
 If you are playing us false...{S}
 I need to be real... honest sometimes.{S}
 And I can say I haven't asked anyone to do <emp>anything</emp>.{S}
 I have just given someone something interesting to read.{S}
 You are already dead in my eyes, whoreson, take care that I do not "learn" otherwise.{S}
 A little bird told me one of Loghain's friends had an accident.{S}
 We have talked enough.{S}
 Everything you need to know is on the scroll.{S}
 I think I know what you need.{S}
 Do you see me laughing?{S}
 This need be no complex thing.{S}
 Now here I thought we had gotten past that.{S}
 Now here I thought we had gotten past that.{S}
 I apologize if my offer was... inappropriate.{S}
 I take it all back.{S}
 We travel together, do battle together... is there any reason we may not also take pleasure in each others' company?{S}
 If you mean to ask whether or not there might be more than a massage involved, allow me simply to say that you will not be disappointed with any of the techniques I have picked up over the years. <desc>Chuckles</desc> What is there to fear, my Grey Warden?{S}
 You deserve a little fun, do you not?{S}
 Poor man, all this constant walking has gotten to you.{S}
 Do you know what you need?{S}
 Well I doubt you can give it to me.{S}
 This I have to hear.{S}
 I still do not trust you.{S}
 It does not matter.{S}
 You have the wrong idea about me.{S}
 Zevran, I... do not know about this...{S}
 Surely, you do not mean Bhelen.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 I will have nothing to do with my treacherous brother.{S}
 The deal is off. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 I am sorry, but I cannot support you.{S}
 "As a fish stranded by the tide knows the air or a drowning man knows the sea, so does a mage know magic."{S}
 Do not you think that view is a little harsh?{S}
 Why have magic at all, if it is so evil?{S}
 What do fish have to do with this?{S}
 Most humans treat my people like your casteless.{S}
 Can you have just a little drowning?{S}
 What sort do you have?{S}
 Why do you have different mages than we have?{S}
 You can not blame a man for trying, can you?{S}
 I should have warned you right from the moment you refused to kill me.{S}
 They used to issue warnings about me at the Antivan border.{S}
 I have been used and I wasn't even aware of it.{S}
 A work of art in motion, perhaps?{S}
 Let us not go there, shall we?{S}
 I had another question.{S}
 What do you mean, your mages are beasts?{S}
 Find everything you need?{S}
 Oh, just make sure you drop by from time to time.{S}
 Deal?{S}
 I do not know what you mean.{S}
 But if anything interesting happens, feel free to come back.{S}
 Now if you do not mind.{S}
 Same deal with the other scrolls?{S}
 You do mean what I think you mean?{S}
 Our mages are controlled to do less harm than yours.{S}
 They have their tongues cut out, and are kept in pens.{S}
 Do not be cruel!{S}
 If I had anything of worth--{S}
 If I could have a moment...?{S}
 For the same reason that we do not light our own houses on fire, or invite locusts into our fields.{S}
 You have been busy, traveling all over... and such tragic news you keep bringing.{S}
 I am sure you will find this scroll quite interesting.{S}
 Well done, Warden.{S}
 And when this Blight ends, we would love you to visit Antiva to discuss other... opportunities.{S}
 I did what I had to do.{S}
 But there is no more need for word games.{S}
 The civil war brought many old grudges to a boil.{S}
 You will be pleased to know that those contracts helped your own cause--some more directly than others.{S}
 But that is before we got to know you.{S}
 It was too late then, of course, Taliesin had already accepted a contract.{S}
 Even now, until you kill all of Taliesin's men you will have to fight my brothers.{S}
 Just remember our offer.{S}
 We could really use someone with your talents.{S}
 Then why were you trying to kill me before?{S}
 Our business is done here.{S}
 It is time for me to take a vacation.{S}
 Cesar has a special stock of wares that might interest you.{S}
 It was a pleasure working with you, Warden.{S}
 I was hoping you would not do that.{S}
 I have no more use for you, then.{S}
 Prepare yourself. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 Just visit us in Antiva when all is said and done.{S}
 But our order has survived the centuries because we <emp>always</emp> uphold our deals.{S}
 Any chance I can join the Crows?{S}
 We have determined you are a far better ally than an enemy.{S}
 That says a great deal about what you think is civilized.{S}
 You have your moments.{S}
 Perhaps your rule will mark a new era for Orzammar.{S}
 Just give her the blasted thing!{S}
 We have to destroy the Anvil, Branka.{S}
 Allow me to make it simple for you, my Grey Warden.{S}
 I was raised to take my pleasures where they could be found, for they do not come very often.{S}
 I shall ask nothing more of you than you are willing to give.{S}
 I must admit, we have come very far from those early days when I tried to kill you and you decided not to kill me... fate is such a tricky whore, is not she?{S}
 Do you know there are poisons that I can ingest which would be harmless to me and yet be already killing you as we speak?{S}
 I tried to kill you.{S}
 Allow me to say this: I am no longer in the business of attempting to kill you.{S}
 I was raised to be open-minded on such matters, but...{S}
 I shall treasure the short time we had together then and be satisfied that this is all it may be.{S}
 Let us be on our way, shall we?{S}
 No, I do not think so.{S}
 Is there something in your tent that needs assassinating?{S}
 And what would we do there?{S}
 I seem to recall hearing this offer before.{S}
 I think it is best to end this here.{S}
 How do I know this is not part of your plan?{S}
 I should not have brought that up.{S}
 So what does this mean, then?{S}
 Does this change anything?{S}
 This does not change anything.{S}
 I need to know what this means.{S}
 You need something?{S}
 If you have coin, welcome to our shop...{S}
 I did not think so, ser.{S}
 Have anything for sale?{S}
 I do not know what you mean.{S}
 You should keep your voice down.{S}
 People might get the wrong idea.{S}
 You work with the Crows?{S}
 I do not suppose you have seen anyone suspicious on the road?{S}
 Any people that did not fit in?{S}
 Have you seen anyone peculiar?{S}
 Ask someone else, I have my own matters to attend to.{S}
 I am afraid, I have to insist.{S}
 I have seen no one.{S}
 Why do not qunari raise their own children?{S}
 If you do see anyone suspicious, please contact me.{S}
 If you do see anyone suspicious, please contact me.{S}
 There is an abandoned campsite well-off the road.{S}
 Have you no desire to discover this anvil's potential?{S}
 Peasants working the land are trapped, but we do not go about destroying farmland, do we?{S}
 We have got a bigger problem than cultists--the Blight.{S}
 I will let you know if I see anything.{S}
 What would the cultists be doing over here?{S}
 I find it hard to believe, as well.{S}
 Their transformed gods, the Archdemons, have wrought untold misery on the land.{S}
 Do you think the campsite could be theirs?{S}
 If I see anything else, I will let you know.{S}
 We have only recently arrived.{S}
 Can I do anything to help?{S}
 What do you know of the area?{S}
 If you see anything suspicious, let me know.{S}
 No one should be given dominion over another's soul.{S}
 This is what we have been waiting for!{S}
 I do not mean to appear ungrateful, but I could use further assistance.{S}
 If the pay is right, I might be interested.{S}
 Too many things need my attention.{S}
 My Templar brethren and I have been looking many days for Cultists of the Old Gods--and it seems you have found them.{S}
 Our efforts are hindered because we have no idea of what that is.{S}
 Capturing and interrogating a cultist is not effective--pain and death matter little to a true believer.{S}
 That is not a risk I am willing to take.{S}
 All right, Oghren, we will give her a chance with it.{S}
 Do you have time to help us now?{S}
 Have you uncovered their plans?{S}
 But you have roamed the hills of Gherlen's Pass--for what reason I cannot guess.{S}
 What I am asking, I believe you can do.{S}
 We need someone to surreptitiously uncover their plans--via disguise or stealth--and then report their plans back to us.{S}
 From a cultist--if you give us time, we may be able to provide you one.{S}
 Any luck finding a cultist disguise?{S}
 Where do I get the disguise?{S}
 So the drunkard has some use after all.{S}
 It is probably faster for you to find one yourself.{S}
 The Templars have been hunting them for centuries.{S}
 Is not there another way to find their plans?{S}
 You have seen the summoning circle, haven't you?{S}
 Pray to Razikale, and he may let you behold the Horned One!{S}
 It just seems a waste to destroy the Anvil, given what it could do.{S}
 They are Razikale cultists working to summon the Horned One.{S}
 We cannot allow them to bring this evil into the world!{S}
 The teachings of the Old Gods have always been anathema to those who walk in the Maker's light.{S}
 Over the long centuries their lore has become even more tainted.{S}
 And as dangerous as the Horned One is, if he can truly lead them to Razikale...{S}
 So this Horned One seeks to use them?{S}
 Our cause is too important to lose it.{S}
 Our cause is too important to lose this.{S}
 No, I have made up my mind.{S}
 Some say he created magic itself and taught ancient Tevinter his lore in exchange for worship.{S}
 The Razikale Cult has not been seen for hundreds of years.{S}
 Do not qunari have places of worship?{S}
 And I suppose you think the qunari have found wisdom?{S}
 We need to find this underground summoning circle of theirs, and defeat the cultists.{S}
 Men, let us depart now!{S}
 Brothers, let us go--we must find this summoning circle!{S}
 The rope leads into ruins below--the cultists must be there.{S}
 You are welcome to join us, we will hunt the cultists together!{S}
 We all owe you.{S}
 Now let us not be unreasonable.{S}
 You would not do <emp>that</emp>, surely.{S}
 Would not I, if I cared only for power?{S}
 You have risked much helping us, your demands are fair.{S}
 This is for all you have done for us.{S}
 We must return to the nearest Circle and see what else we can do.{S}
 I could not have won here without you.{S}
 You do owe me.{S}
 What matters is we won here.{S}
 I would rather not find out.{S}
 Perhaps destroying it <emp>is</emp> a good idea. <desc>Laughs</desc> You think empty threats will make me sympathize with these stone men?{S}
 Qunari do not worship.{S}
 What makes you think we haven't?{S}
 Where else would you find wisdom, if not the Chant?{S}
 But you have priests.{S}
 Then what do you know about wisdom?{S}
 Sometimes creation involves the destruction of one thing to make way for another.{S}
 Try looking for it.{S}
 The dwarf woman has madness for her excuse.{S}
 Does not the Qun force others into service?{S}
 Why do the Tal-Vashoth fight you?{S}
 It obviously did not work for you.{S}
 Farmers do not toil in the fields for all eternity.{S}
 You must destroy the Anvil, while you have the chance.{S}
 Do you feel homesick for Orzammar yet?{S}
 Work, work, work.{S}
 That is quite an offer, especially from such a beautiful woman... if we are both speaking of the same thing.{S}
 That is quite an offer, especially coming from another man... if we are both speaking of the same thing.{S}
 Whatever would we need such privacy to... talk about?{S}
 If it is a simple talk perhaps we can have it in the morning?{S}
 Ahhhh, I see... the part where I am an assassin once engaged in the task of seeking your life.{S}
 How lucky you are to have eluded me so.{S}
 You do not say?{S}
 I would not have noticed that little detail.{S}
 Now, now, you are the one that brought this up.{S}
 If so, I would be happy to oblige, providing a few rules of engagement are agreed upon.{S}
 Well, let us see.{S}
 If we are going to tumble, let us even things up a little.{S}
 Hand-to-hand combat, no armor, no clothing... wearing nothing but our sweat.{S}
 What do you say?{S}
 I should warn you, however, that I have never succumbed to interrogation.{S}
 I should warn you, however, that I have never been known to succumb to an interrogation.{S}
 You may just have to beat it out of me.{S}
 Should you change your mind... well, you do know where I sleep.{S}
 I would have made a terrible merchant.{S}
 Did I say that?{S}
 I did not say that.{S}
 It does make one wonder why you keep making the offer, however.{S}
 I bet you are good at a lot of things.{S}
 Does this coy thing work for you much?{S}
 You will find out.{S}
 Just get in the tent.{S}
 I do not just want to talk.{S}
 Except that it was my idea to start with.{S}
 Let us just forget about it.{S}
 You never know when to let it go, do you?{S}
 Get in my tent.{S}
 I want to get to know you.{S}
 If you would like to take another shot at it, feel free.{S}
 Which rules of engagement might those be?{S}
 I set the rules, here.{S}
 Get in my tent.{S}
 The moment has passed.{S}
 That is... not what I had in mind.{S}
 Get in the tent.{S}
 Fine, if you do not <emp>want</emp> to... <desc>Chuckles</desc> I was thinking a warm body next to mine might be even better.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 Then get a thicker blanket.{S}
 Well why did not you say so?{S}
 Have they sent word?{S}
 Do not accost the stranger, Tristal.{S}
 The Glavonaks, that is us, have been having the most dreadful luck.{S}
 It all started with that sodding Valazz.{S}
 If he attacked Kevhanar, that will be the *third* caravan Valazz has attacked this month!{S}
 I do not want to get involved.{S}
 Why do you let the tamassrans control your life?{S}
 So what do you believe in, then?{S}
 Maybe the Tal-Vashoth have a point.{S}
 I did not mean to offend.{S}
 You do not mean Valazz Glavonak?{S}
 No need to be formal.{S}
 He tried to poison a rival and was caught.{S}
 The name sounds familiar.{S}
 Bhelen must have pleaded with father to spare his life.{S}
 My two-faced brother put him up to it, no doubt.{S}
 Get on with it.{S}
 I have been mistaken.{S}
 He was inept enough to get caught poisoning a rival.{S}
 Never been much use with politics.{S}
 Valazz tried to poison one of his many rivals and was inept enough to get caught.{S}
 Have been for generations.{S}
 Your father did exercise mercy.{S}
 We have been on the surface for generations--he is has as much trade sense as a mining pick, and his "leadership" skills are even worse.{S}
 Ho ho, the story says he got on the king's table and... well, exposed his nether region at them.{S}
 That was a good deal more of Karvel than *anyone* wanted to see.{S}
 Fortunately, Karvel proved to be a better trader than smith...{S}
 We tried reasoning with him.{S}
 On the surface us dwarves work together--there is no caste, no privilege.{S}
 But he would have nothing of that.{S}
 If we are not with him, then we are enemies. *sigh* That does sound like Valazz.{S}
 We tried talking with him.{S}
 Even on the surface we have heard how formidable you are.{S}
 That is all we have here at the moment.{S}
 Cesar deals in goods you may be interested in.{S}
 Coin we have in abundance--although if this matter is not dealt with that will change.{S}
 What do you need?{S}
 I just wanted to see if you have anything for sale.{S}
 If you make it worth my while.{S}
 I gave you a chance, but you could not handle it.{S}
 If you have ever heard one word that came out of my mouth.{S}
 No, please, do not go, Oghren.{S}
 If I needed you, I would have made that obvious.{S}
 We need someone the rebel Glavonaks will not attack on sight to talk with them.{S}
 By the Stone, Valazz *is* my cousin and if we do not work together our whole family may crumble...{S}
 Aye, I will teach you.{S}
 To be a berserker, you have to face your own inner rage, let the spirit of battle take over, and all that dust.{S}
 There is a whole pile of philosophical rot that goes behind it, but the bedrock is this: Get real mad and kill things.{S}
 Well, you also have to be in peak physical condition and so forth.{S}
 I can teach you what gets my hackles in a twist, but no one can tell you what will set off that killing rage in you.{S}
 Finding that is the key to berserking.{S}
 And once you have got that...{S}
 You must have been seriously steamed up about something for a long time.{S}
 You get mad, you fly into battle, and things die.{S}
 The hard part is getting in touch with your rage.{S}
 We all learn to hold that back.{S}
 It is why we do not kill every duster who looks at us sideways.{S}
 You need to shut that off.{S}
 But others have to think about something.{S}
 For most berserkers, it does.{S}
 Several years ago, I worked with a berserker on one expedition who just could not work himself up.{S}
 We had to kick him in the stones before he could get going.{S}
 When you fight, you get mad.{S}
 By the Stone, it is a sodding tactic to enrage your enemy so he makes a mistake, right?{S}
 You have your own talents, Warden.{S}
 It does, it does.{S}
 But I almost guarantee you have never in your life been as rage-blind as you have to be to draw strength from it.{S}
 I am good at getting people really, really mad.{S}
 No, see, it is funny because you will never be able to do it.{S}
 But if you know someone fit for this type of work, I will teach them.{S}
 It will be nice to have another berserker to grunt at for a change.{S}
 If it works, that is all.{S}
 What, you do not see me waist-deep in entrails every time I sodding step up to fight?{S}
 I will teach your warriors to be the best berserkers on the bleeding surface!{S}
 You are a monster on the field already, Warden, but your style does not give itself to mad rage.{S}
 Can you teach me to fight like you do?{S}
 Teach me.{S}
 Just thinking about it works?{S}
 And just getting thinking angry thoughts makes it happen?{S}
 Are you sure you even know how to do it?{S}
 Actually, I have things to do.{S}
 I do not wish to talk about it.{S}
 Do... do those.{S}
 Let us not play this game, shall we?{S}
 Then we are done.{S}
 I do not want to talk about "feelings" or anything remotely similar!{S}
 We have plenty of other things to deal with, after all.{S}
 I do not wish to talk about it.{S}
 You do not need to apologize, just... do not ask.{S}
 The itch has returned, I see. <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 Shall I play hard to get?{S}
 Let me think...{S}
 Prepare to be boarded!{S}
 Let me start by saying that my history is varied, indeed.{S}
 It has also not been restricted to women.{S}
 Does... that offend you?{S}
 Sex is best when done well, and truly that is my only rule.{S}
 Do I prefer women?{S}
 Yes... yes, I believe I do, but you must understand that a certain open-mindedness is sought by the Crows in their recruits.{S}
 I have had to do many things in my work as an assassin, some pleasant and many not so.{S}
 The Crows recruit elven assassins because we are considered beautiful by humans...{S}
 No matter.{S}
 Let us return to other matters.{S}
 It would be interesting to see where it leads.{S}
 Already it has been many new things.{S}
 I regret far more than the men and women I have been with, and if that is more than you can bear... well, then it is good we know now, yes?{S}
 Ignore them as I do, and perhaps they will go away.{S}
 Think of it this way: You are the only woman I have ever bedded.{S}
 I really do not know what to say. <desc>Sigh</desc> Very well.{S}
 Let me try to explain.{S}
 No, I gave it to you.{S}
 I want you to have it.{S}
 Let me... attempt to explain.{S}
 You take your pleasures where you can, when life is good.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Yes, that... that does make it easier, in fact.{S}
 I knew I was being foolish and now I am proven correct.{S}
 Not in the way we have been perhaps, but yes...{S}
 I do.{S}
 Let us return to matters at hand.{S}
 There is much for you to do...{S}
 I grew up amongst those who sold the illusion of love, and then I was trained to make my heart cold in favor of the kill.{S}
 Everything I have been taught says what I feel is wrong.{S}
 Since you asked me into your tent, I have been nothing but confused.{S}
 Do you understand me at all?{S}
 All I need to know is if there might be some future for us, some possibility of...{S}
 I do not know what.{S}
 I do not know what.{S}
 Then we need say no more.{S}
 You look like you do want to talk about it.{S}
 You do not feel the same way, then?{S}
 That many, I take it?{S}
 It does not bother me, Zevran.{S}
 You sound like you have been through a lot.{S}
 We all have a past, do not we?{S}
 Have you always been...?{S}
 If you do not want to talk, that is fine.{S}
 Do you want your earring back?{S}
 This does not mean we can not be friends, I hope.{S}
 We do not need to end this, Zevran.{S}
 Do not go there.{S}
 I do.{S}
 I do not feel the same way, I am sorry.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Are you having second thoughts about us?{S}
 What do you want me to tell him?{S}
 What can I offer him?{S}
 What makes it mine?{S}
 It was theirs to begin with.{S}
 When your people join us, you will find out.{S}
 They have used it to kill countless people.{S}
 It keeps your stupidity from getting in.{S}
 Kin should look after kin, no matter what.{S}
 He is bringing his family to ruin!{S}
 I will not let him be the head of the surface Glavonaks, but I will give him anything else he wants.{S}
 He can start his own caravan route, we will fund it--we can both run the surface, if he likes.{S}
 Anything to just end this.{S}
 This will be the end of us!{S}
 Deal with it yourself.{S}
 There are many pressing matters before me.{S}
 Three Glavonak caravans have been attacked by Valazz!{S}
 We have good prices on wool--we sell it by the wagonload.{S}
 Do not even *remind* me of Orzammar.{S}
 They will not even let our honorable family through.{S}
 Do you have anything for sale?{S}
 Do you know what is going on in Orzammar?{S}
 I do hope you can talk sense into him!{S}
 Leave, the Glavonaks have no business with you.{S}
 Valazz does not want any visitors.{S}
 Now get!{S}
 You work for that stone-blind, honorless cur, do you?{S}
 Do not let Valazz hear you--do not even breath that.{S}
 If we bring the surfacers under heel, will Prince Bhelen welcome us back?{S}
 Ha, we could crap liquid gold and Bhelen would not touch us.{S}
 Do not matter--Valazz has sworn vendetta against Tristal, one of them has to die.{S}
 Have you seen Valazz?{S}
 What did he say?{S}
 They did not even listen?{S}
 I told you it would not work, Tristal.{S}
 What is to be done?{S}
 We have to find Valazz and send him to the Stone.{S}
 My princess, I am sorry you had to see the Glavonaks fallen so low.{S}
 Take this payment and our profound apologies.{S}
 My prince, I am sorry you had to see the Glavonaks fallen so low.{S}
 Take this payment and our profound apologies.{S}
 Here is payment for attempting to make peace.{S}
 Your family is not alone in having asps in their midst.{S}
 If you deal with Valazz, I will reward you most... most handsomely.{S}
 Take care, Tristal.{S}
 You are making the right decision, Tristal.{S}
 It is done, is not it?{S}
 Our family is as old as the stones of Orzammar--we craft things, make toys for children.{S}
 Here, take this.{S}
 Valazz was a vicious bastard to the end.{S}
 I am trying to figure you out.{S}
 No one has power over what they are, only what they do.{S}
 Why do you think mages are evil?{S}
 If you have held on to your honor, does it matter that I believe others of your kind have not?{S}
 I still got it.{S}
 There is no use talking of this.{S}
 What, did a mage kill your puppy or something?{S}
 Do you always have to be so difficult?{S}
 You have shown me the error of my ways.{S}
 We are keeping the Blight waiting.{S}
 Prove me wrong, then.{S}
 You live in this world, just as I do.{S}
 Magic did not necessarily do all this.{S}
 The Chantry does not cut mages' tongues out.{S}
 You are a most intriguing man, but if what I represent makes you uncomfortable... well, it would be better for both of us to know that now, yes?{S}
 No, I did not expect it would.{S}
 You have a bit of an open mind yourself, no?{S}
 As my tutor used to say, "keep your eyes to the rear in the ambush and the bedchamber and not otherwise."{S}
 My only rule regarding sex is that it be done well. <desc>Chuckles</desc> It is a certain open-mindedness that the Crows seek in their recruits, for very good reasons.{S}
 I have been with both men and women in my time.{S}
 Given my druthers I would say I prefer a soft and shapely woman, but I know what I am.{S}
 You seem to have an open mind, yourself, no?{S}
 Did we not already discuss this?{S}
 The Crows will never allow me to escape.{S}
 I cannot say I cared much for the company, as it were.{S}
 I thought we had gained an appreciation for one another.{S}
 Do you truly wish to throw that away?{S}
 I rather thought we had become friends, you and I, despite the way of our introduction.{S}
 Is this truly what we have come to?{S}
 I have little desire to be constantly on the run.{S}
 Let us hope our paths do not cross again, yes?{S}
 I do not need to be told three times.{S}
 Let us try to work together for now.{S}
 I was rather waiting for this business to come to an end, and all the better.{S}
 With Taliesen dead I am free to find my own way without the Crows chasing me down.{S}
 Taliesen is dead, and thus I doubt the Crows will even know about me... but I had rather thought we had grown fond of each others' company.{S}
 Taliesen is dead, so I may leave at any time it is true... but I have no need to go just yet unless you are quite certain?{S}
 Let us get back to business.{S}
 End...?{S}
 Already? <desc>Sigh</desc> And we were just starting to have fun with it, as well.{S}
 But these things happen, do they not?{S}
 Let it never be said that Zevran remains where he is not wanted.{S}
 Taliesen is dead, and so perhaps this is as good a time as any to make my good-byes, yes?{S}
 I... suppose it would not do me any harm to remain.{S}
 You have me... as long as you need me.{S}
 Let us get under way, shall we?{S}
 Ahhh, you have a clever tongue, but I am afraid I must resist.{S}
 But I do appreciate the offer.{S}
 They do not matter.{S}
 I have no desire to stay and be forced to watch what I cannot have.{S}
 If that makes me a coward, then so be it.{S}
 Yet you would have us be strangers.{S}
 Define "open-mindedness."{S}
 You had your chance to leave. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 I suggest you do so.{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 I do not trust you.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 But I need you here.{S}
 Do not go.{S}
 And what about your oath to serve me?{S}
 If that is what you want to do.{S}
 We owe you our thanks, the sodding dusters came from nowhere.{S}
 He may have already blown it.{S}
 The war has the roads in a tussle, took us a week longer to load wool off Bann Alfstana's lands.{S}
 You can not have seen anything like this before.{S}
 Where does all this venom come from?{S}
 It is dangerous out here, need help?{S}
 My people have a tale: An ashkaari walked among the fields once, observing the laborers at work.{S}
 A generous offer, and we accept.{S}
 I do not have the time.{S}
 Let us head off together.{S}
 You have made it!{S}
 No need to get your beard in a tangle, some bumps on the road.{S}
 Did not know royalty was combing the hills helping dwarves in need.{S}
 Take this reward.{S}
 Did you know Orzammar has closed its gates?{S}
 In all the ancestors' names, why?{S}
 We do not know...{S}
 You have brought our brother safely to us--take these coins and our thanks!{S}
 I found these scrolls in a Tevinter ruin.{S}
 You seem sincere, but I have heard many outrageous claims in my time.{S}
 Let me see...{S}
 You do not believe me?{S}
 Look, do not touch.{S}
 Let me see...{S}
 Early believers used them to keep their writings safe from the Tevinter magus.{S}
 Please, let me examine it.{S}
 If you are charlatan, may the Maker have mercy upon you...{S}
 I can give you five sovereigns.{S}
 If these prove to be genuine, we can discuss more substantial payment afterwards.{S}
 I will hold onto it for now.{S}
 I need parchment, quill, and ink.{S}
 Have you reconsidered lending them to me to authenticate?{S}
 They did pique my curiosity.{S}
 Deal.{S}
 The bits I have made out...{S}
 After Andraste's death, a truce was made with the Tevinter Imperium.{S}
 So am I getting paid or not?{S}
 The ashkaari turned to a laborer for aid, and noticed for the first time the heavy gloves and coat she wore.{S}
 But until then believers were brave souls and had to be constantly vigilant.{S}
 If we could get a real translation, well, it could be the find of our lifetime!{S}
 It could take months; the ciphers were designed to be difficult for the magisters to decrypt.{S}
 Here is all of the allowance I have for acquisitions.{S}
 Take it and go.{S}
 Could I get a copy of the translation?{S}
 How long will it take to decipher?{S}
 What truths we can find?{S}
 That is more words than I have ever heard you speak before.{S}
 But bees do not know the consequences like mages do.{S}
 I have been saving them up.{S}
 What the qunari do goes beyond caution, though.{S}
 So much to do!{S}
 What does it cost a mage?{S}
 My home has been under attack by the mage-lords of Tevinter for all my lifetime.{S}
 I have seen what magic is and what it does.{S}
 You know of something else that brings spirits and curses into this world?{S}
 Well, it could have been... darkspawn... or something.{S}
 No, but that does not mean a mage did it.{S}
 Convince yourself first, then try to convince me.{S}
 Being easily conquered does not constitute a "power."{S}
 Your logic has rendered me incapable of speech.{S}
 Well, elves have all sorts of strange powers.{S}
 As do the qunari.{S}
 We simply treat it as it deserves.{S}
 Come to talk to ol' Oghren, have you?{S}
 Do not know why.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I keep thinking about all that slag with Branka, how I have turned out.{S}
 Worked out in my favor, though.{S}
 Did you want to talk about something?{S}
 Aye, I have tried twenty-seven new kinds of ale and learned I am just the right height to give a human girl a good time.{S}
 That does not make me a good man.{S}
 Aye, Oghren's got to fart and swear and talk about nugs and asses, right?{S}
 Does not mean I do not think about something deeper sometimes.{S}
 Got a hornet in my eye, is all.{S}
 Did you want to talk about something?{S}
 Join me in my sodding hole.{S}
 Upset? <desc>Scoffs</desc> I do not get upset.{S}
 I get drunk.{S}
 People talking when I am trying to have a sodding quiet moment.{S}
 You have a lot of nerve coming here!{S}
 Oh no you do not!{S}
 You can not come swishing in here and take over the Warden's camp just like that!{S}
 How do you like that, huh!{S}
 That is right, you keep looking at me like that!{S}
 I will just go get my pants from that sodding dog....{S}
 I got a problem with your face!{S}
 You keep it up and I will fight you!{S}
 I do not even care that you are some kind of wool-gnawing poetess!{S}
 Take that, you sodding... sodding... poetess!{S}
 Heh, get outta here, you harlot!{S}
 Tell that thing to give it back!{S}
 The sodding thing took my pants!{S}
 I do not need my pants, anyway.{S}
 That is why I need to crack that dog over his sodding head!{S}
 But the dog does not know that.{S}
 Prepare to die!{S}
 A clever ruse to get that dog back for stealing my pants.{S}
 You have changed since then, Oghren.{S}
 Do not fall apart on me now, Oghren.{S}
 On second thought, let us talk some other time.{S}
 Yes, you do.{S}
 You need your pants.{S}
 Oghren, you are wearing your pants.{S}
 I did not see anything, Oghren.{S}
 Oh, are you having "Oghren Time" again?{S}
 She says, "I do not...." <desc>snorts and continues laughing</desc>{S}
 I remember now! <desc>Snorts and continues laughing</desc>{S}
 I have been watching you.{S}
 Where can I get some sauce for that rump roast?{S}
 You have wiped your foot on the Oghren doormat of love.{S}
 Ooh, that is just what I had in mind.{S}
 Go and make yourself ready, woman.{S}
 I do not have time for jokes.{S}
 But one does not need to be jealous to be leery of rushing headlong into... complicated situations.{S}
 You and I have had our fun, but if this thing between you and Alistair is leading somewhere, I will happily step aside.{S}
 Oh, I do not know that "easy" is the right word.{S}
 Perhaps "necessary" would be better. <desc>Chuckles</desc> And I have no burning need to do so, but this is not so simple a matter.{S}
 Have we not?{S}
 I make no claims upon you, nor would I dream of such.{S}
 You are free to pursue your fancies as you desire, and I would have it no other way.{S}
 And what would you have me do, then?{S}
 If whatever is between us cannot be honest, let it not be at all.{S}
 You will need to be the one that tells Alistair, however.{S}
 Serious topics have never been my specialty, after all.{S}
 Let us speak another time, then.{S}
 You will need to be the one that tells Morrigan, however. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Preferably when I am not somewhere nearby.{S}
 You will need to be the one to tell Leliana, however.{S}
 No no, no need to apologize.{S}
 At any rate... the air is now clear and we are free to continue on.{S}
 We have much to do.{S}
 You and I have had our fun, but Morrigan does not seem the type to share.{S}
 You and I have had our fun, but I know how it is with men and their women.{S}
 If you are serious about this Leliana, we need pursue this thing of ours no further.{S}
 Our flirtation has been fun, but if you believe that what you and Alistair have is real perhaps it would be best if we desisted.{S}
 I have always believed in being direct when the situation calls for it, however.{S}
 Our flirtation has been fun, but I have no interest in competing with any woman, least of all Morrigan.{S}
 Our flirtation has been fun, but if what you and Leliana have is real perhaps it would be best if we desisted.{S}
 I have watched you and he together.{S}
 I have watched you and she together.{S}
 But I do not want you to step aside.{S}
 We have "had our fun?"{S}
 Then we are done.{S}
 You are not going to force me to choose, are you?{S}
 I did.{S}
 What do you mean by, "a weak mind?"{S}
 Are you saying you put yourself in that cage?{S}
 Why do not you just tell me what happened?{S}
 Had they not shown me compassion, they would still live.{S}
 Did you think I could justify what I have done?{S}
 I came to your lands with seven of the Beresaad--my brothers--to seek answers about the Blight.{S}
 We made our way across the Fereldan countryside without incident, seeing nothing of the threat we were sent to observe.{S}
 Where do the farmers come in?{S}
 No one can do more than that.{S}
 I do not know how long I lay on the battlefield among the dead, nor do I know how the farmers found me.{S}
 And when that failed, I asked my rescuers what had become of it.{S}
 They said they found me with nothing.{S}
 Do your people have no souls as we know them?{S}
 That sword was made for my hand alone.{S}
 I have carried it from the day I was set into the Beresaad.{S}
 Even if I could cross Ferelden and Tevinter unarmed and alone to bring my report to the arishok, I would be slain on sight by the antaam.{S}
 Did the farmers know where it was?{S}
 You could get another sword.{S}
 I did.{S}
 I knew they did not have the blade.{S}
 They had no reason to lie to me.{S}
 If you are that prone to panic, maybe you did desert.{S}
 Where did you fight the darkspawn?{S}
 You are not going to do anything about it?{S}
 Well, there is nothing we can do.{S}
 Do not worry, we will find it.{S}
 What would you have me do?{S}
 You get a sword or an axe and are told to go out and defend your city.{S}
 It is the best thing in the world, that is until you try to <emp>live</emp> in the city you saved.{S}
 I mean, they train you to kill, teach you to harness your rage at the first noise you hear, then try to set a hundred sodding rules about it.{S}
 So why so many rules saying how to fight and when you win, and not to bloody kill?{S}
 If that is how you feel, I will try that out next time the darkspawn are chewing on your leg.{S}
 You toss a nug to a deep stalker, you do not expect it not to eat the thing, right?{S}
 The subject gets me all fired up, anyhow.{S}
 I threw in my lot with you, Warden, and until now, I thought you were the best deal I would ever landed.{S}
 But far be it from me to get in your hair if you do not want me.{S}
 If I learned nothing else from Branka, I have got that.{S}
 What patch of mud did this crawl out of?{S}
 Here I thought we were getting along, and you pull this on me?{S}
 This is not working out.{S}
 Maybe I can open a tavern...{S}
 Come find me and we will toast the archdemon when he is dead.{S}
 Maybe Felsi'll take me in.{S}
 I may not have my caste, but no one can take away my sheer stud factor.{S}
 Make up your mind, will you?{S}
 Why did not they give you blunted weapons?{S}
 Let us talk about something else.{S}
 Actually, let us talk more some other time.{S}
 Did you believe them?{S}
 What did you do?{S}
 I admit, I am no minstrel, but have you not guessed the end of this tale yet?{S}
 I was thinking, we have been through a lot together now.{S}
 You handled that like a champion, my friend. <desc>Laughs</desc> Most impressive!{S}
 How do you feel? <desc>Laughs</desc> That is the spirit!{S}
 I-I just wanted to tell you, after all we have been through, you are like family to me.{S}
 Closest thing I have had in years.{S}
 I do believe I am getting all misty-eyed.{S}
 But that could be because those beans are getting chatty, if you know what I mean.{S}
 So, did you want to talk about something?{S}
 You are not getting any more of my brew!{S}
 You would need to do something really unspeakable to get into the rest of my stash.{S}
 That just means it is working.{S}
 This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer!{S}
 I can not make you drink, but I will hold it against you for the rest of your life.{S}
 But never fear, Oghren will be right here to hold your head while you vomit.{S}
 If you want to know about me, you can sodding read it in the broadsheets.{S}
 I do not teach people I hate how to fight.{S}
 Do not get all doughy on me now, Oghren.{S}
 Got any more?{S}
 I can not believe I did that.{S}
 I get to taste Oghren's famous brew!{S}
 I will take a sip.{S}
 I cannot justify what I have done.{S}
 Pray that you do not see me in anger.{S}
 No, there is no need to deny it.{S}
 I do not mind.{S}
 Such is how it goes, yes? <desc>Chuckles</desc> As I should have known would be the case.{S}
 How does one make it work between two men, after all?{S}
 There is nothing I can offer a woman such as yourself for very long, I quite agree.{S}
 But I think you made the right one, even so.{S}
 There is nothing I could offer you beyond the moment, after all.{S}
 Ahhh, do not be, my good friend.{S}
 I never asked you for anything, did I?{S}
 Ahhh, do not be, my sweet lady.{S}
 I never asked you for anything, did I?{S}
 Sometimes it does.{S}
 Then it seems I do have one regret in all of this.{S}
 Let us see...{S}
 I had sex with her anyway, but that goes without saying.{S}
 She still had to die.{S}
 The poem was amusing at the time, however, and thus I have always remembered it.{S}
 Burn me in the chantry if you must, but you are a man to stoke the lust in women and other men alike. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Surely you know this and are playing with me.{S}
 Me, I tend to make the best of whatever situation I find myself in, stealing what moments I can.{S}
 It is served me well, most days.{S}
 You might learn to do the same.{S}
 That is good to know, though you might have fooled me with those serious eyes of yours.{S}
 Fortunately I tend to make do with whatever time I have.{S}
 It is served me well, most days.{S}
 You might learn to do the same.{S}
 Then I learn something new about you every day. <desc>Laughs</desc> Or you could ignore my advice, considering where my brilliance has gotten me.{S}
 Do you?{S}
 It is always pleasing to have ones efforts recognized.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 You are the kind of woman that stokes the lust in men and other women alike. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Surely you know this and are playing with me.{S}
 Would it work?{S}
 I will have to keep that in mind.{S}
 I did not think so.{S}
 You could have fooled me.{S}
 And here I thought we were building up towards something.{S}
 The time has come for traveling and the murdering of villains and whatever else passes for adventuring these days.{S}
 Well, yes, but <emp>after</emp> we made love.{S}
 What do you think I am, some kind of monster?{S}
 It is not as if she did not enjoy herself.{S}
 Certainly there are much less pleasant ways to spend your last hours, no? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Now, now, now, let us keep the judging to a minimum.{S}
 It is not as if you did not know I was an assassin, hmm?{S}
 I did not spend my time tickling kittens.{S}
 It required a certain amount of dedication, I will admit, but it was worth it for the poem, I figure.{S}
 You know, I kept telling the other Crows that, and yet they never felt the same way.{S}
 She was trying to seduce me, you see, and somehow thought that this would actually convince me to spare her.{S}
 This just wasn't going to work...{S}
 I did not really have a choice.{S}
 Does that ever actually happen?{S}
 You do not need to give me anything.{S}
 Will that mean we are married in Antiva?{S}
 You think I am handsome, do you?{S}
 I do not feel grim at all.{S}
 I think I do the same, actually.{S}
 "Served you well?"{S}
 Do not be an idiot.{S}
 Do not bother.{S}
 You think I am lovely, do you?{S}
 I do not feel unhappy.{S}
 Do not bet on it.{S}
 It is good to know you have standards.{S}
 I do not really have the time for this.{S}
 You haven't seen a sword lying around here, have you?{S}
 That do not matter none to you.{S}
 Why, you looking to buy one?{S}
 And what will you do if I do not back off?{S}
 I mean, I only got one, and I am not dead or nothing. <emp>But I was here first</emp>!{S}
 I have spoken to the beloved Andraste.{S}
 She will let you pass.{S}
 I get that a lot.{S}
 All right, if it will make you leave my spot quicker.{S}
 Do you have any?{S}
 Well... that is... see I would like to sell you one, but I do not.... er... have any myself. ...No.{S}
 The place was mostly picked clean when I got here.{S}
 To tell the truth, this place was mostly picked clean when I got here.{S}
 I got part of a glove the wolves did not chew too badly, though!{S}
 Well...honestly, I... do not have any swords.{S}
 The spot was picked pretty clean when I got here.{S}
 Choose the part of the plot to which you would like to go:{S}
 Have you found any swords?{S}
 Has anyone else been here?{S}
 Do not know.{S}
 Does not matter, really.{S}
 They are just as dead no matter what did it.{S}
 Before Proving{S}
 Before Talking to Father (After Proving){S}
 Before Finding Trian (After Proving){S}
 How about a sovereign? ...Good enough! <desc>Scoffs</desc> You did, as I will remind you, have me at your mercy.{S}
 Quite frankly, at this point I would rather take my chances, even such as they are.{S}
 As I see it, we have two options before us.{S}
 Either you kill me as you could have done when you caught me or you recognize that we are incompatible and allow me to leave peacefully.{S}
 I suspect it is simply so you may strip me of my equipment and send me packing anyhow, but let us hope against hope for a better outcome, shall we?{S}
 You did not make a very good student, did you?{S}
 Let us hope our paths do not cross again, hmm?{S}
 Then let us hope I have learned a thing or two about you, hm?{S}
 The time has come for me to leave.{S}
 A Rivaini merchant prince, and he was wearing a single, jeweled earring when I killed him.{S}
 In fact, that is about all he was wearing.{S}
 I thought it was beautiful and took it to mark the occasion.{S}
 I have kept it since... and I would like you to have it.{S}
 Do not get the wrong idea about it.{S}
 That means I am free, at least for now.{S}
 Feel free to sell it, or wear it... or whatever you would like.{S}
 It is really the least I could give you in return.{S}
 I... look, just... just take it.{S}
 It is meant a lot to me, but so have... so has what you have done.{S}
 Please, take it.{S}
 I have no better way to say it.{S}
 You are a very frustrating man to deal with, do you know that?{S}
 You are a very frustrating woman to deal with, do you know that?{S}
 We pick up every other bit of treasure we come across, but not this.{S}
 You do not want the earring?{S}
 You do not get the earring.{S}
 It is meant a lot to me, but so have... so has what you have done.{S}
 I have no better way to say it.{S}
 I may not need to, but I want to. <desc>Laughs</desc> Let us hope not!{S}
 I have worn it for years, myself, though perhaps standards are a little different in the north?{S}
 I... still have the earring.{S}
 I would like to give it to you... as a token of affection.{S}
 Will you take it?{S}
 Did not you swear an oath to serve me?{S}
 Now that you are free to go, you mean.{S}
 But I need you here!{S}
 I need you.{S}
 And let you return to the Crows?{S}
 I do not want it, really.{S}
 I will only take it if it means something.{S}
 I do not want it.{S}
 No, just keep it then.{S}
 I will take it.{S}
 And I told you to keep it.{S}
 He sold me this spot.{S}
 Said he would found giants and all kinds of crazy valuables.{S}
 Sure, that will do.{S}
 I earned what I have.{S}
 I will take that as an answer.{S}
 Let us hope that I have learned a thing or two since our last encounter, hmm?{S}
 Let us hope our paths do not cross again.{S}
 He did not mention that he would taken everything but the bones and the dirt already.{S}
 His name's Faryn.{S}
 Which you did not.{S}
 He sold you this spot?{S}
 Does he own this land?{S}
 He found valuables here?{S}
 I imagine he is gotten there by now.{S}
 He just sold me the looting rights.{S}
 I am not building a house here or nothing.{S}
 He did not leave none of it here, I will tell you.{S}
 If you find him, tell him I sent you!{S}
 Do not say it.{S}
 I got cheated.{S}
 I have told you what I know.{S}
 If you will excuse me, I have had quite enough stress over this.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 Care to see the finest selection of previously-owned armor and weaponry in Thedas?{S}
 Step right up, friend, and have a look at the finest selection of almost-new armor and weaponry east of Orlais!{S}
 I have got the finest selection of previously-owned armor and weaponry this side of Val Royeaux.{S}
 Let me take a look.{S}
 Why pay through the nose for new equipment, when you can buy "like new" for much, much less?{S}
 And just as good as what you would find at a smithy!{S}
 Where do you get "like new" armor from?{S}
 Oh, you have heard of me?{S}
 And just so you know, some of my competitors have been trying to besmirch my sterling reputation.{S}
 I heard you found some interesting things.{S}
 Did you happen to find a qunari sword?{S}
 Yes, well, I do not like to brag, but I have got some fine things here, <emp>almost</emp> straight from the royal armory.{S}
 Only took a slight detour on the way...{S}
 Did you find Trian's ring on the mercenaries?{S}
 I do not pillage anything.{S}
 I rescue quality-made goods from rust and neglect!{S}
 A savior to abandoned equipment!{S}
 I am afraid I do not know the word.{S}
 Well, I have a few shields here.{S}
 I had one sword, but I sold it already.{S}
 It would have been pretty large and unwieldy.{S}
 I had one, but I sold it already.{S}
 Who did you sell it to?{S}
 You know the guy you took it from is still alive, do not you?{S}
 There were not that many of the giants to begin with.{S}
 A couple of them had shattered their weapons, and most of the other blades were hung up in bodies so bad, I could not get them free.{S}
 I can not go telling you all about my paying customers.{S}
 If I would known he was still breathing, I would've used a knife-- I mean, I would have been more careful.{S}
 The guy who bought it lives in Redcliffe.{S}
 A dwarf named Dwyn, I think.{S}
 His name's Dwyn, I think.{S}
 I do not want any trouble.{S}
 If you see that giant, tell him I do not have it, would you?{S}
 I do not, I swear.{S}
 They do not want their personal business related to every stranger who happens along.{S}
 Ignacio has the right of it.{S}
 Tell me, or I will let the original owner know where you are.{S}
 I might be willing to keep quiet for three sovereigns.{S}
 Three-- I would call it highway robbery, but I would be smearing the good name of highwaymen everywhere.{S}
 Take it and go.{S}
 Dwyn's his name.{S}
 I suppose that will do.{S}
 Take it or leave it.{S}
 What do you sell here?{S}
 You know, ah... used armor, mostly.{S}
 We would like to have a word with you.{S}
 You have... ah, heard of me?{S}
 Since you are clearly looking at me, I would say that you do see something.{S}
 I do not know what that--{S}
 I... ah... do not know what you mean, ser.{S}
 I would give it to him if I were you, Faryn.{S}
 How much do you want for it?{S}
 I do not have it!{S}
 I sold it on the way here!{S}
 Dwyn, I think his name was.{S}
 I sold it to a dwarf in Redcliffe.{S}
 Name of Dwyn.{S}
 Maker, please, you have to believe me!{S}
 If I had it, I would give it to you!{S}
 No, I swear, I do not have it!{S}
 Did you win the Honor Proving?{S}
 Did you plot to murder Trian?{S}
 I did not enter.{S}
 I did not enter{S}
 At Duncan (End){S}
 Start of Exile{S}
 If you are lying, you do know we will be back.{S}
 At start of expedition{S}
 He is the one who has the sword, I promise you.{S}
 I do not rightly know.{S}
 I have told you what I can, I swear to you. <desc>Chuckles</desc> I do not know how you found it, but thank you.{S}
 Now if only you could find me a prostitute or two, a bowl of fish chowder and a corrupt politician, I would really feel like I was home! <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I did not mean to sound ungrateful, it is just...{S}
 The leather was less thick, and it had more embroidery... but these are very close.{S}
 Do I seem surprised?{S}
 No one has simply... given me a gift before.{S}
 So long as I do not make my presence known to them, they will not seek me out.{S}
 It is, in fact, what I had hoped for ever since you decided not to kill me.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 It seems I have options now, whereas once I had none.{S}
 I could go far away, somewhere where the Crows would never find me.{S}
 I made an oath to help you, after all.{S}
 And saving the world seems a worthy task to see through to the end, yes?{S}
 I am with you until the end... provided you do not tire of me first.{S}
 Well, we can not have that, can we?{S}
 Let us return to the task at hand, then.{S}
 There is still much to be done, yes?{S}
 Do you want me to go?{S}
 Do you need me here?{S}
 I must admit, I had hoped for a different answer.{S}
 But I will not stay where I am not needed.{S}
 May we meet again someday, under better circumstances, when all of this is done.{S}
 May we meet again someday, under better circumstances, when all of this is done.{S}
 Nobody has ever...{S}
 I have enjoyed our company, but I am wondering if it is not time for me to leave.{S}
 That would be the practical thing to do, no?{S}
 There is a freedom awaiting me that I have never known.{S}
 Will you let me go?{S}
 You make a convincing argument.{S}
 You do seem to stumble onto treasure on a regular basis, somehow.{S}
 It is not that I do not trust you, precisely, but I could just as easily wind up dead.{S}
 Does this situation really call for such violence? <desc>Laughs</desc> In my line of business we like to call that "practicality."{S}
 Still, I appreciate all that you have done.{S}
 Ahhh, yes, well... oaths are fine and well when you are facing death at the hands of someone you do not even know.{S}
 Surely we have come further than that? <desc>Sigh</desc> You do know I could simply say yes now and sneak away from camp later, yes?{S}
 After all, you have been of great assistance to me.{S}
 I am willing to continue, so let us not make things unpleasant.{S}
 Very well, I will not abandon you.{S}
 Our time has been interesting, but you do not need me, I am certain.{S}
 Come, let us not argue further.{S}
 Until we meet another time, eh?{S}
 Do you?{S}
 I suppose there are worse things I could do with my time than save the world...{S}
 Then allow me to express my appreciation for your help.{S}
 It has been a most beneficial arrangement.{S}
 Until we meet again.{S}
 This has been a fine adventure, but I find myself eager to take advantage of my new freedom.{S}
 I think the time has come for me to go. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Not even for the treasure, no.{S}
 Believe it or not, despite my feelings about the Crows in general I had no argument with Taliesen in specific.{S}
 I had no wish to fight him, and truly I would have preferred he not come after us at all.{S}
 But what is done is done.{S}
 Unless you intend to take this personally?{S}
 But you have already said that you cannot accept what I did.{S}
 No, truly I think you and I are done.{S}
 But there is no need to relive the past.{S}
 On the contrary, I let him face you.{S}
 It was his choice, but that is all done, now.{S}
 Are you implying that you might do so?{S}
 And what is it that I should do, so as not to force you to do this thing... assuming that you could even contact the Crows, and that they would believe you.{S}
 It would almost be tempting to take you up on that threat, truly.{S}
 Until we meet again.{S}
 Until we meet again.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 But no matter.{S}
 Try them on.{S}
 Yes, yes, no need to get teary-eyed.{S}
 If you do not want it, give it back.{S}
 So what does this mean?{S}
 I would be glad to have you stay.{S}
 I would be sorely put out.{S}
 I want you to do what is best for you.{S}
 No, I do not need your help.{S}
 Do not you want to stay for the treasure?{S}
 I did not realize you were such a coward.{S}
 You made an oath.{S}
 I think you should keep it.{S}
 I need your help.{S}
 Do not let me keep you.{S}
 I doubt I will need your help.{S}
 You should have stayed and fought.{S}
 I do.{S}
 I do not want you to go.{S}
 I will get over it.{S}
 I need your help.{S}
 But you let me face him.{S}
 You need to stay here, and uphold your oath.{S}
 You need to leave.{S}
 You need to go.{S}
 Find your own life... or else.{S}
 If you will excuse me, I have this sudden urge to pack.{S}
 I had almost forgotten it.{S}
 I think you must be an ashkaari to find a single lost blade in a country at war.{S}
 What will you do now?{S}
 Now that you have your sword, should not you report back?{S}
 I should put it to use.{S}
 And I could deliver a much more satisfying answer to the arishok's question if the Blight were ended, do not you agree?{S}
 But it would be a much more thorough and satisfying answer to his question if the Blight were ended first, do not you agree?{S}
 You do not have to stay with us, Sten.{S}
 I think we would do better without you, actually.{S}
 Then lead the way.{S}
 I have never abandoned the field with the battle unmet.{S}
 Just making sure.{S}
 I am glad to have you, Sten.{S}
 Nessa's father has agreed to let her stay with your family when they leave for the king's camp at Ostagar.{S}
 We have come to know each other fairly well during our time in the Deep Roads.{S}
 Wandering about killing darkspawn with a sodding Grey Warden sounds like just the thing to keep me occupied.{S}
 So what do you say?{S}
 You have seen what I can do.{S}
 Too bad we could not reach her before she cracked. <desc>Scoffs</desc> What?!{S}
 Now do any of the these sad-sacks following you around know the first thing about making ale?{S}
 You got so many allies you could not use one more?{S}
 And one with a thousand shattered darkspawn skulls to his name?{S}
 It will cost me my house to take a trip like this.{S}
 But I do not have a bleeding house to begin with, so who cares?{S}
 But who sodding cares?{S}
 Branka ran off with my house, and I can not carry weapons down here, anyway.{S}
 I guess you both got what you wanted.{S}
 We should get back to the city now.{S}
 I would not be in any hurry to get back to the Assembly, either.{S}
 Those deshyrs have been trying to destroy the city for years.{S}
 We will help her get the Anvil, and then she will come home and everything will be better.{S}
 Why'd you think they built them so big anyway?{S}
 Anyway, you would better be ready to crack skulls once we get in there.{S}
 I am pretty stupid, I will give you that, but even I will not fight through these hissing beasts just to see some big doors.{S}
 This place makes my skin crawl.{S}
 I knew she still cared!{S}
 From the looks of it, she did not stay more than a few days.{S}
 And I doubt she found any more sign of the Anvil than we have.{S}
 If I had to guess, I would say she probably tried the Dead Trenches next.{S}
 Before the darkspawn took it, anyway.{S}
 Onward and downward's the best I can make out.{S}
 Did you see the marks on the floor?{S}
 Those must be Branka's papers he said were taken by the spiders.{S}
 She would never have let something like that sleep in the same spot she did.{S}
 She always took chips from the walls at regular intervals when she was in a new tunnel--check their composition.{S}
 If she was still here, though, she would have sentries out by now.{S}
 Three hundred or so dwarves do not just fade away.{S}
 He was an Ortan before he got raised to Paragon.{S}
 Even stayed here when he could have had his own house.{S}
 I guess he did not want to move his people to Bownammar.{S}
 Caridin built it to honor the Legion of the Dead, but it was more like a sodding mausoleum than anything.{S}
 Of course, that was all before he built the Anvil.{S}
 No one does.{S}
 If we find it, we find Branka.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Could not have said it better myself.{S}
 We will not sodding find Branka going that way.{S}
 Still, you seem to be holding up.{S}
 Just do not expect me to kill everything and cover your ass, too, when the real fighting starts.{S}
 I can not believe she led the whole house through here.{S}
 Stupid idea, but she must have had a reason.{S}
 Made me feel like a child trying to understand an adult conversation.{S}
 I can see she marked some of the walls--had a lodestone she always used when she was in the deeps.{S}
 Liked to mark the walls every few hours to make sure she was on the right path.{S}
 You will see when you meet her, it is impossible not to.{S}
 This used to be one of the biggest crossroads in the old empire.{S}
 You could get anywhere from here.{S}
 I expect we will start seeing signs of Branka soon.{S}
 I have been waiting for someone to say that for two sodding years.{S}
 He built the Anvil, and he is the only one who ever knew its secret.{S}
 It is the home of Caridin, the Paragon who made the Anvil.{S}
 He was an Ortan before he founded his own house, and even then, he spent most of his time in their thaig.{S}
 No one but Caridin ever really knew more than that it had some kind of Stone-blessed power.{S}
 Every golem who ever ranged across the empire was hammered on the steel of that Anvil, but no one ever knew exactly how they were made.{S}
 But Branka was sure <emp>she</emp> could find out.{S}
 Maybe if you got over yourself and let me come with you, you could sodding get somewhere down there.{S}
 You need to pull your head out of your ass and agree to work with me.{S}
 Well, you could try.{S}
 Well, whatever it was that is so all-fired important, you done with it?{S}
 We ready to go find my sodding wife?{S}
 I do not know if you remember.{S}
 There is enough people who know I am interested, they make sure I hear if anyone's looking for her.{S}
 They say Bhelen's given up on his scouts and is sending you.{S}
 Ah, I know you are down here to look for Branka, and, uh, I need to ask a favor.{S}
 I am sodding touched.{S}
 Maybe now that his highness thinks my Branka can be rescued, you do not think I am quite so crazy, huh?{S}
 More than that, I am the only one who cares about her as a person, not some symbol to leave in the Deep Roads where she can not offend anyone.{S}
 I am the only one who still cares about her as a person.{S}
 I mean to get her back, and you would not be down here if you were not trying for the same thing.{S}
 Have you seen a Grey Warden hereabouts?{S}
 I heard tell that he... or was that she--you understand, this was several flagons ago--was setting out to search for Branka on the prince's own orders.{S}
 I have been privy to the rumor that he... or was it she--you understand this was many mugs ago--was searching for Branka on Lord Harrowmont's own command.{S}
 I have read all the tales and legends about the Grey Wardens.{S}
 But I guess standards are not what they used to be.{S}
 I have been looking for hours, but I haven't seen anyone who looks like that.{S}
 Well, if you are the best they have got, then standards must have fallen way down.{S}
 But I suppose that would account for that pack of surfacers you have got with you.{S}
 Hey, hold off here, Wardens and their staff are the only non-dwarves who've been allowed in the city lately.{S}
 Does that mean that you... ...or one of them... ...are a Warden?{S}
 I have to say, from all the tales, I was expecting something a little more impressive.{S}
 Got me there.{S}
 I really could not give a nug's ass about who is and is not a Warden.{S}
 Name's Oghren, and if you have ever heard of me before, it is probably all been about how I piss ale and kill little boys who look at me wrong. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 And that is mostly true, but the part they never say is how I am the only one still trying to save our only Paragon.{S}
 I have a bleeding Paragon to find.{S}
 I do not have time to worry about your sodding feelings.{S}
 I am not saying I should be your first pick for a dance partner at whatever highness's inaugural ball, but in the Deep Roads, I am your man.{S}
 And if you are looking for Branka, I am the only one who knows what she was looking for, which might be pretty sodding helpful in finding her.{S}
 You think I am going to give that away when I do not even know your intentions?{S}
 You, presumably, know everything Bhelen's scouts have discovered about where she disappeared.{S}
 You, I assume, know whatever Harrowmont's men have dug up on where exactly she disappeared.{S}
 If we pool our knowledge, we stand a chance of finding Branka.{S}
 You ready to get going?{S}
 You should know that Branka was looking for the Anvil of the Void, the secret to building golems, which was lost centuries ago.{S}
 No one's ever found a way to duplicate it, but if Branka could recover it, Orzammar might finally drive the darkspawn back for good.{S}
 As far as anyone knows, the Anvil was built in the old Ortan Thaig.{S}
 Branka planned to start looking there, if she could ever find it.{S}
 Once we are there, I should be able to pick up Branka's trail, no trouble.{S}
 Lead on.{S}
 Let us not waste another minute, then.{S}
 Might have been the most important invention in Orzammar's history.{S}
 The smith Caridin built it, and with it, Orzammar had a hundred years of peace, while it was protected by the golems forged on the Anvil.{S}
 Why do you sodding think?{S}
 Ran off and took our entire sodding house on her mad quest for the Anvil.{S}
 If I would been with her, she would have made it back years ago.{S}
 We were sodding <emp>married</emp> until she left me and took our whole house into the Deep Roads on her mad quest for the Anvil.{S}
 Outside of that, what difference does it make?{S}
 Because if Bhelen's information was good enough, he would have bloody well found her already.{S}
 Then if Harrowmont knows so much, how come none of his men have found her already?{S}
 Branka was a brilliant girl, but half the time she would add two and two and make it fifty.{S}
 You want to find her, you need someone who knows how she thinks.{S}
 Someone who is got the notes and the maps <emp>she</emp> was working from, not whatever was discovered after.{S}
 You need me.{S}
 Branka had maps, ancient ones, of what the roads looked like back when this was an empire.{S}
 Maps that I have now.{S}
 And when you realize you need me, come back, and we can finally get something done.{S}
 I know where she was going, not how to get there.{S}
 If Bhelen managed to find it, that is only because he is got dozens of warriors he can send to search night and day.{S}
 If Harrowmont tracked it down, it is only because he is got whole teams of loyal soldiers who can do the searching for him.{S}
 He does not care if another few weeks of delay might mean Branka's death.{S}
 Believe me, I have.{S}
 It would take teams of warriors searching weeks on end to cover enough ground to hope to find it.{S}
 Which, I assume, is just what Harrowmont's men have done.{S}
 And they shared what they found with you.{S}
 Which, I assume, is exactly what Bhelen's scouts have done.{S}
 And they gave the fruits of their labor to you.{S}
 But they haven't found Branka herself, and that means whatever they have got, it is not enough if you do not know what she was looking for.{S}
 Lots of folks know that, but you do not know what, right?{S}
 Hey, hold off there.{S}
 What are you doing going for the Deep Roads by yourself?{S}
 The exiled princess, returned in Grey Wardens' armor to put the past behind her.{S}
 The exiled prince, coming back as a Grey Warden, put his past behind him.{S}
 People are saying how you have thrown yourself on Harrowmont's wagon train.{S}
 Someone saw you talking to Vartag Gavorn, and now it is all over that you have been doing dirty errands for Bhelen.{S}
 I figured you would be the one, you know, who could help me find Branka.{S}
 You do not need a king to face a Blight.{S}
 You need a Paragon!{S}
 If you think your boot-kissing'll get you an in I do not have, you are welcome to try this.{S}
 I know both Harrowmont and Bhelen have been asking about her.{S}
 Two years without a peep, and suddenly now they want to start looking.{S}
 If you find out what they know, it might put me a step closer to finding her.{S}
 Or sit here and have a drink.{S}
 I need a drink.{S}
 Branka's a Paragon, only one smart enough to be raised in the last four generations.{S}
 What is it matter to you, huh?{S}
 You trying to find out her secrets?{S}
 Why do you care, huh?{S}
 I know he is been poking around, trying to find things out about her, what she was looking for.{S}
 He looking to take it for himself?{S}
 That is all anyone cares about.{S}
 I need a bleeding drink.{S}
 She left me here and took our entire house when she left.{S}
 They are what every dwarf with a spine not made of soap dreams of being!{S}
 Two years and no one's raised a bleeding army to go look for her.{S}
 Branka did not go alone, Oghren.{S}
 She took the whole house.{S}
 Get out of here before I call a guardsman.{S}
 Even you can not have forgotten that.{S}
 So just get over to Tapsters and drown yourself already.{S}
 You know as well as I do that is how this always ends.{S}
 I do not need you tagging along.{S}
 No, I have no need of you.{S}
 I would be glad to have you with me, Oghren.{S}
 Let us get going before it is too late.{S}
 Now you get to attack the fortress with me!{S}
 Let us just keep moving.{S}
 And you have no idea where this Anvil is?{S}
 Where would Branka have gone if not here?{S}
 Have you seen any sign of her here yet?{S}
 You still respect her, do not you?{S}
 Let us go kill some more darkspawn.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Do you know anything else about the Anvil?{S}
 Lead on and shut up.{S}
 What do I need to do to find Branka?{S}
 I will find her myself.{S}
 You are married?{S}
 Actually, I am not quite done.{S}
 How did you know I am here about Branka?{S}
 You have been trying to get help to find Branka, right?{S}
 What does this Grey Warden look like?{S}
 What do you know about Branka?{S}
 Everyone else does.{S}
 Sounds like we have a deal.{S}
 Bhelen gave me a map.{S}
 I can get to Caridin's Cross.{S}
 Harrowmont gave me a map.{S}
 I can get to Caridin's Cross.{S}
 I have a few things I want to do first.{S}
 If you are married, why are not you out there with Branka?{S}
 Why do you care so much about Branka, anyway?{S}
 I do not want to work with you.{S}
 There are a few things I have to do first.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Do not I have enough armed lunatics following me already?{S}
 I can find her without you.{S}
 I do not need anyone.{S}
 Now get out of my way.{S}
 Why haven't you already found her?{S}
 And what do you want in return for this information?{S}
 Did not I see you bickering with some noble earlier?{S}
 My only concern is raising allies against the Blight.{S}
 I do not need to justify myself to you.{S}
 I did not think so when we first met.{S}
 You must have heard this before.{S}
 Why would you expect me to have feathers?{S}
 I meant, why did you think I was callow?{S}
 You probably give most people that impression.{S}
 You will get over it.{S}
 You did, of course.{S}
 On that day, I will not look to find you on the battlefield.{S}
 Pull on the leash when correction is needed, is it?{S}
 Have it your way, I suppose.{S}
 It is of no matter.{S}
 I would have asked earlier, but I wanted to wait until you seemed ready to speak.{S}
 Which you do.{S}
 Well here is the thing: I swore an oath to serve you, yes?{S}
 My question pertains to what you intend to do with me once this business is over with.{S}
 I said I would serve you until you saw fit to release me.{S}
 One simply assumes that, once your Grey Warden business is finished, you would have no need of an assassin to follow you about.{S}
 For now, we have much to do, yes?{S}
 Then I shall have to brush up on my shoe-shining skills, will not I?{S}
 I made the oath willingly, but if that is how you see it then all the better.{S}
 But let us assume that I did not desire to leave, when the time came.{S}
 The ravishing part is a given.{S}
 Normally I am the one doing the ravishing when it comes to comely lasses...{S}
 I get ravished once all is said and done?{S}
 What a dirty little mind you have, my friend.{S}
 I said I would serve until you released me.{S}
 And what if I did not wish to leave?{S}
 That makes it an easy decision, then.{S}
 Stranger things have happened.{S}
 I have a tendency to grow on others.{S}
 I have that effect.{S}
 I have something else to ask.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 Does your oath expire then?{S}
 I could always use a friend.{S}
 We will have to see, will not we?{S}
 There is always a use or two for a handsome elf.{S}
 I will always need a servant, trust me.{S}
 I will not hold you to any oath.{S}
 Why would I do anything with you?{S}
 Why would not you go, if you had the chance?{S}
 I could use a friend, perhaps.{S}
 I do not really care where you go.{S}
 No matter why you did it, still it was done, and I the benefactor.{S}
 In the Crows, we do not have "friends," and yet here you are and I cannot help but consider you such.{S}
 What we are doing here... stopping the Blight.{S}
 I can not think of anything I have ever done which is so worthy.{S}
 Ah, and here I thought... well, it does not matter what I thought.{S}
 You have made for a most amiable partner... more than I normally expect from a mark. <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 But nevertheless, the thanks needed to be said.{S}
 Let us continue on our way.{S}
 No, there is a need.{S}
 I was glad to do it.{S}
 I did what I had to.{S}
 There is no need.{S}
 We have no business with the likes of you.{S}
 Ever since Master Karvel Glavonak got so drunk he insulted House Caridin--{S}
 I am looking for a qunari sword that you bought.{S}
 Faryn did not mention he took it off a <emp>live</emp> giant.{S}
 Why do not you give him his sword before this gets ugly?{S}
 Now, why do not you take your sword and leave?{S}
 Since he is not here, I do not see how that is my problem.{S}
 I will let it go for six sovereigns.{S}
 The number's got a nice sound to it, do not you think?{S}
 I had no idea he had sunk so low.{S}
 You think qunari swords are easy to find this far south?{S}
 I will pay it.{S}
 I will pay it.{S}
 I can not pay that.{S}
 I am looking for the qunari sword you bought.{S}
 You know, Faryn did not mention the giant he took it from was <emp>alive</emp>.{S}
 Name your price.{S}
 Why do not you give up the sword and we will go?{S}
 Now why do not you leave me alone?{S}
 Take it or leave it.{S}
 I could just kill you and take it for free.{S}
 Then get out of my face.{S}
 Are you going to do business, or are you going to leave?{S}
 That is one weight off my shoulders--if only that was the only one I had.{S}
 Eyes open.{S}
 Final offer.{S}
 Pleasure doing business, and all that rot. [: A fun dungeon inside.{S}
 Which plot do you want?{S}
 What would you like to do?{S}
 I have killed my first mark.{S}
 I have killed the last mark.{S}
 I have finished all of the scrolls.{S}
 Then allow me to say this.{S}
 I intend to see this through to the end with you.{S}
 After all... someone must take responsibility for preventing your untimely death.{S}
 Planning has never been my strong suit.{S}
 Now, killing... killing and love-making.{S}
 Killing and love-making and witty retorts.{S}
 Well, no matter.{S}
 Did you not read stories as a child?{S}
 Unless the hero has a trusty sidekick with him.{S}
 If someone had said to me just a year ago, "Zevran, my lad, you are going to fail against your most important mark and it will be the smartest thing you have ever done," I would have slit his throat.{S}
 Taliesen offered to come to the ambush with me and I said, "Taliesen, I do not need any help.{S}
 This Grey Warden is a new recruit.{S}
 But then, if I had been more open-minded to his help, either you would be dead or I would be.{S}
 I... must admit that I have thought of you in the same way.{S}
 I simply had no idea you might... feel the same.{S}
 I was working with another Crow, a rather handsome human fellow with the most brilliant eyes... but I digress.{S}
 We had been flirting for hours while waiting for a mark to return home, and I was beginning to find him tiresome.{S}
 I was working with another Crow, a rather buxom human lass with the roundest posterior you had ever laid eyes upon... but I digress.{S}
 We had been flirting for hours while waiting for a mark to return home, and I was beginning to find her tiresome.{S}
 We may have been drinking at the time, I do not care to remember.{S}
 Oh, this will not take long.{S}
 I was simply never given the opportunity to choose another way.{S}
 I do not know that I would put it precisely that way.{S}
 Which is a good price, considering I was all ribs and bone and did not know the pommel of a dagger from the pointy end.{S}
 The Crows buy all their assassins that way.{S}
 Buy them young, raise them to know nothing else but murder.{S}
 And if you do poorly in your training, you die.{S}
 To be truthful, I did not even know the Crows existed when I joined them.{S}
 You do not need to die either, you know.{S}
 I do not need any help.{S}
 I do not get it.{S}
 Are you saying I make you sick?{S}
 We do not have time for this.{S}
 And that system works?{S}
 So you had a hard life.{S}
 Big deal.{S}
 You did not choose to join the Crows?{S}
 But what would you rather do?{S}
 I do not think I would have made it without you!{S}
 What were they doing?{S}
 It did not look like it served any purpose.{S}
 They were playing.{S}
 Do not tell me qunari children are always serious?{S}
 Cultist camp found.{S}
 Cultists found and attacked.{S}
 Let our cries be heard!{S}
 Unbelievers lie in the shadows, their blood must be spilled and offered to !{S}
 When do they have time to waste on foolishness?{S}
 They have much to learn.{S}
 What do qunari children do, if they do not play?{S}
 Qunari must lead very dull lives.{S}
 I remember days spent in study.{S}
 Study serves better than... whatever that was.{S}
 What do they study?{S}
 They must play sometimes.{S}
 That is all they do?{S}
 What do you mean, "their place in the world?"{S}
 Qunari parents really treat their children this way?{S}
 If you see anything unusual, let me know.{S}
 Every animal plays, Sten.{S}
 It is what they do.{S}
 Your priests clearly should have spent more time training you.{S}
 What do your priests teach the imekari, if not how to be adults?{S}
 That is not what priests do.{S}
 Where do you want to go?{S}
 If you insist on speaking, use real words.{S}
 Parents teach children to be adults, not priests.{S}
 What do qunari call people with children?{S}
 It matters not.{S}
 So, only your priests have children?{S}
 Parents do not own children, they are the ones who birth them.{S}
 So, they are raised by priests, but they belong to everyone?{S}
 The tamassrans raise the children.{S}
 They do not bear them.{S}
 You let your imekari be raised by <emp>them</emp>?{S}
 Oh, I do not know about that.{S}
 In Antiva, being a Crow gets you respect.{S}
 It gets you wealth.{S}
 It gets you women... and men, or whatever it is you might fancy.{S}
 But that does mean doing what is expected of you, always.{S}
 That is, of course, presuming you do not decide to kill me at some point.{S}
 I do so enjoy it when I get to be flirty. <desc>Chuckles</desc> This is good to know. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Oh... you are speaking seriously, are not you?{S}
 I do forget that this is not Antiva City.{S}
 We are... a little more open-minded about such things, where I hail from.{S}
 Then I do apologize.{S}
 Though I will remind you... you did ask.{S}
 You did ask, remember?{S}
 I have earned the Crows a great deal of money, and none of it has come easily.{S}
 As for what I will do in the future... presuming that there is one...{S}
 Eventually can be a very, very long time if one plays one's cards right.{S}
 And here I am, happy to be had.{S}
 Is not it wonderful how things work out that way?{S}
 No, just do not do it again.{S}
 You sound like you have been spoiled.{S}
 Why did not you just leave, then?{S}
 And when you get the first chance to betray me?{S}
 Will not the Crows eventually find you?{S}
 I am happy to have you along.{S}
 You do not know yourself, or what you are for.{S}
 I do know who and what I am.{S}
 Why do you hesitate?{S}
 Sten, that argument makes no sense.{S}
 I have to decide that myself.{S}
 You cannot make the world suit you.{S}
 We have to deal with Loghain first.{S}
 And somehow, this will bring us closer to the archdemon?{S}
 If you fail, preparation beforehand will have been pointless, and if you succeed, it will be by sheer chance anyway.{S}
 Perhaps you did not notice the Blight destroying the land?{S}
 What do you want to do?{S}
 Well, whatever I do, you have to follow me.{S}
 Just lead us to the battle.{S}
 Have to?{S}
 Just keep testing that theory.{S}
 You do not belong to them.{S}
 I was birthed on the day they chose.{S}
 I am their work.{S}
 What I do is for my people, always.{S}
 You never do anything just for yourself?{S}
 They made you, but they can not make decisions for you.{S}
 No need.{S}
 I have been trained to choose as they would.{S}
 You need it, but no other can give you theirs.{S}
 Fine, where do you find wisdom, then?{S}
 What do you have priests for, then?{S}
 You need food, water, and shelter.{S}
 You build roads, but you must walk them with your own feet.{S}
 How are you supposed to find it, then?{S}
 In every moment of eternity there is a chance to find it.{S}
 You have only to reach for it.{S}
 I would not have spoken about it before, but... you have been a good friend.{S}
 You have been a good friend to me, after all.{S}
 There is a reason I accepted this mission in Ferelden, far away from home, and it had nothing to do with any thought that I might leave the Crows.{S}
 Meeting you, after all, was quite an accident.{S}
 My last mission before this one... did not end well.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I was often told I was insufferable... right before I ended up in bed with someone.{S}
 Taliesen agreed to be part of my team, as well as an elven lass named Rinna.{S}
 I had closed off my heart, I thought, but she touched something within me.{S}
 When Taliesen revealed to me that Rinna had accepted a bribe from the merchant, told him of our plan, I readily agreed that she needed to pay the price and allowed Taliesen to kill her.{S}
 On her knees, with tears in her eyes, she told me that she loved me and had not betrayed us.{S}
 I laughed in her face and said that even if it were true, I did not care.{S}
 When Taliesen and I finally assassinated the merchant we found the true source of his information.{S}
 Rinna had not betrayed us after all.{S}
 I... wanted to tell the Crows what we had done, our mistake.{S}
 So we reported that Rinna had died in the attempt.{S}
 We needn't have bothered.{S}
 The Crows knew what we had done.{S}
 He said the Crows knew... and they did not care.{S}
 Of that I have no doubt at all.{S}
 I felt as if she had been nothing.{S}
 What I want is to begin again.{S}
 You have been a friend to me, and more.{S}
 You have been a friend to me.{S}
 Whatever it is I sought by leaving Antiva, I think I have found it.{S}
 I owe you a great deal.{S}
 Let us return to your mission, shall we?{S}
 Suddenly I do not feel like standing about.{S}
 So finally the poison has taken effect! <desc>Laughs</desc> A joke, a joke!{S}
 I did not care to know.{S}
 I mean that it did not end well for me.{S}
 Well, if a racist crack like that does not cajole me into telling a tale, then nothing will!{S}
 Or are we seeking something more glamorous?{S}
 Now I did not say that.{S}
 Will I get a kiss afterwards?{S}
 Do I have to still tell the story?{S}
 That is what made it hot. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I do like the look on your face when you say that.{S}
 Do not worry, my friend, I only jest.{S}
 Try to kill a woman twice and suddenly she turns icy on you.{S}
 Who would have guessed?{S}
 I will have to keep that in mind for tonight.{S}
 Let us see.{S}
 I was sent to kill a mage who had been meddling in politics.{S}
 In Antiva nobody is too important to escape the reach of the Crows.{S}
 They have killed kings and queens.{S}
 I got the impression it involved sex... but then I get that impression about most everything.{S}
 After I killed her guard, she got down on her hands and knees and begged for her life... rather aptly, I might add.{S}
 So I joined her in the carriage for the night and left the next morning.{S}
 On the contrary, it was she who used me.{S}
 Or she tried to.{S}
 Then she decided to try and use me, instead.{S}
 The woman had actually convinced me to speak to the Crows on her behalf.{S}
 Then I found out that she had told the driver to take her to Genellan instead.{S}
 She had planned to lose me in the provinces.{S}
 I would have looked very foolish to the Crows.{S}
 As it was, my master was very impressed that I had done such a fine job of making it look like an accident.{S}
 The Circle of Magi was unaware of foul play and everyone was happier all around.{S}
 She did not need to be happy.{S}
 I got stupid, in fact.{S}
 Yes, it does seem to happen now and again, does not it?{S}
 It was after that when I learned that one needn't let a pretty face go to your head.{S}
 Well, there is you... but I will point out that you did have to capture me and tie me up, first.{S}
 Every rule has its exception.{S}
 Now that I have mentioned tying me up in that context, do we have extra rope about?{S}
 I think that it would take being captured and tied up by a handsome Grey Warden at the very least.{S}
 And here the Crows had told me that getting captured in the line of duty was the worst thing possible.{S}
 What do they know?{S}
 I think that it would take being captured and tied up by a beautiful woman at the very least.{S}
 You would think that, after all my youth and the hardships of my training, such coldness would have come naturally.{S}
 Talking about the mage has made me a bit nostalgic, I am afraid.{S}
 I watched a man go through all seven, once. <desc>Laughs</desc> No, I will not inflict that upon you just yet. <desc>Laughs</desc> You have rather macabre tastes, I see.{S}
 I like that. <desc>Laughs</desc> Ah, you should see the look you have.{S}
 Let us see.{S}
 How about the largest battle I ever took part in?{S}
 That would have been the slaughter of Prince Azrin.{S}
 Did you hear of that down in these parts?{S}
 Not personally, but I did take part in the attack.{S}
 He started off as eleventh, but worked his way up the old-fashioned method, by inheriting control of an entire Crow cell from his grandfather.{S}
 After assassinating his way through the royal family, the king hired three other cells to take down Prince Azrin once and for all.{S}
 And this means they get involved in politics quite often.{S}
 It almost ended up putting a Crow on the throne, a commoner... but that is a whole different story.{S}
 I played a very small part.{S}
 My part in the entire battle was taken up trying to reach Princess Ferenna, who had thrown in with her brother.{S}
 I killed about eleven of her guards personally before I got knocked out of a window.{S}
 Made off with my boots, too.{S}
 At least they did not cut my throat.{S}
 I had to find my way back to the safe house, bruised and naked.{S}
 Nothing about this work is glorious.{S}
 If I indulge in a little vice and have sex with whatever I fancy, it is mainly to make things more interesting.{S}
 One of the prostitutes that raised me was a fortune teller.{S}
 Let us be off before I tell more embarrassing stories, hm?{S}
 We take it in stride, however.{S}
 I was still building my legend, so to speak.{S}
 Who could you send to arrest the man that wasn't either in his pocket or that did not fear being assassinated first?{S}
 I should not have said anything.{S}
 Does this bother you?{S}
 It would be difficult, traveling as we do in close proximity, but I am nothing if not a gentleman.{S}
 I shall have to redouble my efforts immediately.{S}
 Then I shall keep that in mind <desc>Chuckles</desc> and perhaps even redouble my efforts.{S}
 With you in front, of course. <desc>Laughs</desc> I was raised in a brothel and trained to seduce whomever is required.{S}
 Open-mindedness is a survival trait, and I learned long ago to make no such judgments.{S}
 But if you would rather I desisted, I shall do so.{S}
 I have no wish to make you... uncomfortable.{S}
 Does this bother you?{S}
 As for the killing part, well... some people simply need assassinating.{S}
 Or do you disagree?{S}
 How many men do you know who can claim to be truly innocent?{S}
 It is all relative in the end.{S}
 And when I get paid for it, death happens more often.{S}
 Did I suggest otherwise?{S}
 Let me ask you a question, then.{S}
 You have killed a great many since becoming a Grey Warden, no?{S}
 Have none of them deserved their fate?{S}
 Yet they deserved their fate nevertheless, and yours was the hand that dealt it to them.{S}
 And you have only ever killed darkspawn?{S}
 I find that hard to believe.{S}
 Perhaps I simply do not live up to your standards.{S}
 I often find myself the instrument of fate, ending these lives for one necessity or another.{S}
 I console myself with the notion that most of them had it coming.{S}
 Does that make sense?{S}
 No matter. <desc>Chuckles</desc> You enjoy getting the blood flowing, whether it is yours or others'?{S}
 I have been told from time to time that I am a sick, sick man.{S}
 There are many things I did not enjoy about being a Crow, of course.{S}
 Having no choice, being treated as an expendable commodity, the rules... oh so many rules!{S}
 I will continue to do it, if I can, even if I am not a Crow.{S}
 Honestly, could you picture me doing something else?{S}
 It is an interesting thought, but I have always removed my clothes strictly on an amateur basis.{S}
 Really? <desc>Chuckles</desc> I can picture you doing a few things, yourself.{S}
 Whereas I am content merely doing what I happen to be good at.{S}
 It is a talent that not many come by honestly, I do not see why I need not pursue it.{S}
 None that I would not get into trouble for performing publicly.{S}
 Somehow that sounds less complimentary than I had anticipated.{S}
 Chances are still good that you and I will perish, eaten by darkspawn or slain by the Crows at some point.{S}
 Come, let us move on while our boots still have some wear in them.{S}
 And how have you changed?{S}
 Why would he do that?{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 Do you still want to die?{S}
 Why did you tell me this?{S}
 You owe me nothing.{S}
 You bet your ass you do.{S}
 I am glad to have you with me.{S}
 I think I am getting nauseous...{S}
 You have said it yourself: Death happens.{S}
 You had no way of knowing that.{S}
 I sense a tragic ending.{S}
 You certainly talk like you have had adventures.{S}
 Yes, you do.{S}
 Please do not do that.{S}
 You used her?{S}
 And she did not try to kill you?{S}
 You got lucky.{S}
 Already done!{S}
 So you did not actually kill her.{S}
 Do not be absurd.{S}
 You got robbed?{S}
 So this was a very big deal?{S}
 Do not be a tease.{S}
 No, I really do not mind.{S}
 Oh, I had no idea you were...{S}
 You make me many things.{S}
 It does, actually.{S}
 You have never killed an innocent?{S}
 Of course they have.{S}
 I take no pleasure in killing.{S}
 You can do whatever you like.{S}
 Do not you have any other skills?{S}
 Everd stumbles in drunk into the proving grounds.{S}
 Below the vast statues and gilded halls where the noble families play at politics, the lower castes live in their shadows, scurrying to serve like their ancestors before them.{S}
 You are casteless, the dirty secret staining Orzammar's perfect society, forced, along with your sister, to sell your services to the crime lord, Beraht.{S}
 To the rest of Orzammar, you are proof that the casteless deserve their fate; but you know you do what you have to--the same as everyone--just to survive.{S}
 The player is found standing over Trian's body while several lords enter the cavern along with King Endrin, Bhelen, Harrowmont, and many soldiers.{S}
 Secure in Orzammar's impregnable construction, the dwarven noble houses continue their centuries-old power struggles.{S}
 Today, a feast celebrates your first military commission, the opening move towards real power in the ever-changing game of dwarven politics.{S}
 You were born amidst the Dalish elves: noble wanderers who refuse to join the society of humans that subjugated their homeland so long ago.{S}
 You spend your time hunting with your clan-mate Tamlen in the forests, and as is sometimes the case, your quarry is not always the local wildlife... <desc>Panicked scream</desc>{S}
 You do not know where you are going!{S}
 Well, what have we here?{S}
 Let us pass, elf.{S}
 You have no right to stop us!{S}
 The Keeper then lets the player leave along with some departure words while the clan watches the player and Duncan walk away.{S}
 I expect they will start arriving tonight, and we can march tomorrow.{S}
 The appearance of the darkspawn in the south has us all scrambling, does not it?{S}
 I was... wondering when you would get here.{S}
 The player is taken to the tower.{S}
 The player is treated to a horrific scene as they watch a tortured mage turn into an abomination before them.{S}
 The Tevinter Imperium built Ostagar long ago to prevent the Wilders from invading the northern lowlands.{S}
 It is fitting we make our stand here, even if we face a different foe within that forest.{S}
 The king's forces have clashed with the darkspawn several times, but here is where the bulk of the horde will show itself.{S}
 The plan will work, your Majesty.{S}
 The Blight ends here.{S}
 Do as I command.{S}
 All of you, let us move!{S}
 The signal is lit and Loghain's forces have fled.{S}
 The player prepares to engage in battle with this powerful foe.{S}
 Aye, I have.{S}
 For all the sodding good it is done me.{S}
 If we are going, let us get moving.{S}
 Branka's not going to sodding find herself.{S}
 I do not want to work with you.{S}
 As do I.{S}
 It does not follow that I <emp>will</emp>, however.{S}
 And why do you think this?{S}
 Keep licking those nugs' asses, you wet-eyed sack of stalker spit.{S}
 Of course, that does not mean much when your wife picks up and takes your whole sodding house into the Deep Roads without you.{S}
 Now, what can I do for you, my dear?{S}
 It will take you years of practice to achieve true mastery of the style, but I can teach you the basics.{S}
 But I have watched you and you seem to lack a particular... grace that is required.{S}
 You are accustomed to doing battle a certain way, yes?{S}
 I can teach you some basics; perhaps you can pass it on to someone who might be interested in what I have to offer.{S}
 I am pleased to meet you too.{S}
 However, nothing has changed.{S}
 Think that is going to make you the leader, do you?{S}
 I did not expect much.{S}
 But I had hope.{S}
 There is much to be done, and quickly.{S}
 Do not waste your time on me.{S}
 Then let us get back to more important matters.{S}
 You must take me for a fool, surely.{S}
 I care not if you wish to pursue another man... but you shall not have me, as well.{S}
 And you think she will have no objections to this man of yours?{S}
 Making a choice is not so difficult. <desc>Chuckles</desc> My interference, now?{S}
 I notice that you are foolishly spending a great deal of time with that... assassin.{S}
 Do you take me for a fool?{S}
 I can see why you would find another man such as him desirable.{S}
 My point is that you and I have shared a bed together.{S}
 It seems hardly fitting to have you doting upon another at the very same time, does it?{S}
 I have no doubt that he could, and that you would be interested in such.{S}
 Did I suggest that you had?{S}
 You dote on the man nevertheless. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Of that I have no doubt.{S}
 Or towards me, for that matter.{S}
 The crux of the matter is this: I do not share.{S}
 You may do as you wish, but if you pursue another you may not also dally with me.{S}
 Perhaps you have no real interest in me.{S}
 I do not believe I am.{S}
 I do not wish to lay claim to you simply because we have been intimate.{S}
 It was what it was, and if that is to end then so be it.{S}
 Make your choice and let us be done with it.{S}
 If they lie with me, then I will not have you publicly leading another on.{S}
 'Tis a simple matter.{S}
 Then I trust you will make that clear to Zevran, agreed?{S}
 If he is what you truly desire, then let us dispense with any further pretense.{S}
 Go, and do as you wish.{S}
 You think I am unaware of the physical aspect of your relationship? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Give me some credit, please.{S}
 Then I pick Zevran.{S}
 I have had enough of your interference!{S}
 No, it is done between Zevran and I, as well.{S}
 I really do not think he is still trying to kill me.{S}
 Perhaps he could join us.{S}
 I have not shared a bed with Zevran.{S}
 You are not going to force me to choose, I hope.{S}
 I did not realize that you cared.{S}
 I care for him deeply.{S}
 It has become very close with the other Grey Warden.{S}
 I suppose I have, at that.{S}
 I find this difficult to comprehend.{S}
 It has a loud mouth.{S}
 Why its head has not been crushed already is hard to imagine.{S}
 Do not be foolish.{S}
 I find it very odd.{S}
 For one who professes to be a warrior, I find it remarkably weak-willed and indecisive.{S}
 Especially when it is in a position to lead.{S}
 Have you ever been responsible for someone else's life?{S}
 So it has become king after all, yes?{S}
 Did it not want to be king?{S}
 We do not always get what we want, however, do we?{S}
 I would arm everyone with bows and put them on constant vigil.{S}
 Well, let us be glad you are not king, then.{S}
 I guess I did, yes.{S}
 I did not know all of them that well, however.{S}
 I am unfamiliar with this name.{S}
 You do not need to know who he was.{S}
 I cannot remember if I ever had anyone important to me.{S}
 All I remember is being given orders.{S}
 I find that odd.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I do not expect you to.{S}
 Do you think they understand everything we say?{S}
 Do you know how many of your kind urinated on me in that village?{S}
 And all I could do is stand there and watch, <emp>helpless</emp>.{S}
 I am glad we have this understanding.{S}
 I notice the sister has been spending a great deal of time with it.{S}
 I am made of rock.{S}
 This does not make me dense. <desc>Giggles</desc> I suppose not.{S}
 Does the sister not see a problem with serving two masters?{S}
 Ignoring the "serving" bit, I will assume you mean the Maker.{S}
 I entered the Chantry as a lay sister, but I never took vows.{S}
 Even had I, the Chantry does not prohibit two people from coming together in love.{S}
 It has been mentioned.{S}
 So I am led to understand that the sister is a follower of this "Maker."{S}
 Oh, I did not mean literally!{S}
 Do not you think that people can be related in spirit?{S}
 I notice that humans tend to believe in a great number of things that are not true, even when given evidence to the contrary.{S}
 I may have a cause to apologize to the sister.{S}
 I suppose it would offer some... comfort... to believe that things occur according to some grand purpose.{S}
 All those years I spent in Honnleath, unable to move, it would be comforting to think there was some reason for it.{S}
 Do you know there wasn't?{S}
 Perhaps the Maker did it to bring you here, to us.{S}
 That whatever long life you led before led you all the way to Redcliffe, just to be awoken so many years later by a Grey Warden?{S}
 I do not know about you, Shale, but to me that seems to be the very opposite of random.{S}
 You once said that you had no purpose.{S}
 The sister has interesting footwear.{S}
 You... like shoes, do you?{S}
 Some cushioning on my feet would be ideal, but I doubt such footwear could be made.{S}
 I could see some nice, thick sandals being made.{S}
 Oh yes, that could be done!{S}
 Perhaps we could find some cobbler who could give it a try!{S}
 That, and picking a shape that makes your ankles look slender... and you could use some help there, I fear.{S}
 I... have thick ankles?{S}
 I do not like my thighs.{S}
 What is important is working with what you have.{S}
 We will have to remember that!{S}
 It could have won its battle.{S}
 It said that it did what it had to in order to protect its nation, but that is not quite true, is it?{S}
 I have no idea what you are talking about, golem.{S}
 It could have slain the woman, Anora.{S}
 Then it would have been made king long before any challenge could have been made.{S}
 It said, however, that it would do <emp>anything</emp> that it had to.{S}
 Ah... you mean from <emp>him</emp>. <desc>Chuckles</desc> And if I do?{S}
 Let me guess.{S}
 I have spent a great deal of time observing the world.{S}
 You spent thirty years watching whatever a small village was willing to parade in front of your eyes.{S}
 Do not cast yourself as the worldly sage.{S}
 At best you are a barely-working statue with a poor memory and a poor attitude.{S}
 Do not seek to begin judging <emp>me</emp>.{S}
 Perhaps it has a point.{S}
 The swamp witch has a great deal in common with my former master.{S}
 The swamp witch has the same arrogance, the same air of cruelty.{S}
 I would hate for it to have possession of my control rod... if it still worked, of course.{S}
 Let me tell you what you can do with your control rod, golem.{S}
 Is it telling me that if the rod did work that it would not want control over me?{S}
 It would have us all dancing on its strings.{S}
 Your revealing gaze has laid me bare.{S}
 Would the drunken dwarf have saved its former wife if it could?{S}
 Maybe you did not get the hint the last time you brought this topic up?{S}
 Truth is, I do not know.{S}
 She was almost crazier than when we were married, it looked like.{S}
 There was that day she took her forging hammer to my head for misplacing her tongs... ah, good times. <desc>Sigh</desc> So.{S}
 I have a question for you, dwarf.{S}
 Sounds like you are passing a stone, there. <desc>Laughs</desc> Get it?{S}
 I do get it, yes.{S}
 My question is this: had the Anvil of the Void not been destroyed, does it believe the dwarves would have used it?{S}
 Even knowing the agony that it caused?{S}
 No need to inflict it.{S}
 There'd be plenty ready and willing to sign up, just as you did.{S}
 Does it think it was wrong to destroy the Anvil, then? <desc>Sigh</desc> No... sometimes people need to be kept from doing stupid things, even for good reasons.{S}
 Do golems know any good jokes?{S}
 You must have overheard at least one or two standing there as you did for years and years!{S}
 There was a human man who once started telling a joke to another as he relieved himself on my leg.{S}
 I have never heard of a thing called a qunari.{S}
 Then you have not been listening.{S}
 We did not row to shore last year, we have been about for centuries.{S}
 I have listened.{S}
 I have done little else, in fact, and yet I do not remember anyone mentioning such a qunari in all my years in the village.{S}
 We have creatures on Par Vollen that are similar.{S}
 I have wondered the same thing.{S}
 One just needs to look at them.{S}
 I have a question of religion, qunari.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 It has never happened.{S}
 Within the qun, an individual exists to serve.{S}
 It seems I must retract a statement I made earlier.{S}
 It is, unless you happen to like having your head crushed.{S}
 Not that I remember doing that.{S}
 His name was Wilhelm, yes?{S}
 From the Free Marches?{S}
 Any more than that he did not divulge.{S}
 Well, if it was the same man, he had quite the reputation.{S}
 I expect I smiled, much as I am able to. <desc>Chuckles</desc> You do speak your mind, do not you?{S}
 Fortunately, no other part of me has anything to say.{S}
 I have a question it may be able to answer, elder mage.{S}
 Would it prefer "mage well past her prime, do not mind the sagging bits?"{S}
 You have an odd way of requesting answers to your questions.{S}
 It requires travel into the Fade.{S}
 No, I... have never met such a person, but no.{S}
 Oh, I would do no such thing.{S}
 I just find the idea of you so fascinating.{S}
 No golem I know of has ever had free will as you do.{S}
 May I ask what you intend to do with it?{S}
 I have noticed that the painted elf seeks the attention of the Grey Warden.{S}
 He certainly does. <desc>Snorts</desc> I watched many such couplings during the time I spent immobile in Honnleath.{S}
 You do know that this usually ends in reproduction.{S}
 I have seen it many times, indeed.{S}
 Creating a new life can be a great deal of fun.{S}
 Oh, I do not know.{S}
 It could be plenty of fun, if done right.{S}
 Now the painted elf jests with me. <desc>Chuckles</desc> You think so, do you?{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 I have no idea how a golem is created, but I doubt I shall be creating one anytime soon.{S}
 So you see me winning the affection of another golem, do you?{S}
 Most golems are slaves to whomever holds their control rod.{S}
 Funny, it works exactly the same way for us as well.{S}
 I appear to have all day.{S}
 Had the decision been mine, its skull would be so much pulp right now.{S}
 Oh, I do not know.{S}
 I fail to see how any measure of attractiveness would make one difficult to crush.{S}
 Perhaps you do not know how to look, then.{S}
 Take the innocent sister, for example.{S}
 I could have sworn I heard an insignificant man talking about my undergarments.{S}
 Here, take that templar fellow.{S}
 Just getting him to hop borders is a challenge worthy of the great heroes.{S}
 I would happily hop borders, given the chance.{S}
 I have never even been close to leaving Ferelden!{S}
 Take a peek at that Circle mage.{S}
 She has lessons to teach us all, my friend.{S}
 You have no idea, little elf.{S}
 Keep your imaginary hands to yourself.{S}
 Take a long look at our Grey Warden, my good friend.{S}
 Right there we have an object worthy of worship, no?{S}
 One would have to be blind not to realize how very pretty we all are and how important that is to preserve.{S}
 Perhaps there are definitions of "blind" I have yet to understand.{S}
 Lead us, Warden.{S}
 Leave now, and do not return.{S}
 Just get back in line, Sten.{S}
 Lead.{S}
 Yes, it is not every Grey Warden who has her own beresaad.{S}
 Indeed, it is not every Grey Warden who has his own beresaad.{S}
 I will see you reach the archdemon.{S}
 Lead the way.{S}
 I do not want you to follow me anymore.{S}
 Party full, you will have to fire someone.{S}

 Unless you would like to stay to make another...{S}
 I am still waiting to hear who takes the throne.{S}
 I have heard nothing from House Aeducan.{S}
 Please do not forget us, my lord.{S}
 I will take him to Harrowmont's estate.{S}
 I will take him to the palace.{S}
 My lord, perhaps you would like to... give the boy a name.{S}
 I wanted his father to have this honor.{S}
 That has a nice sound to it.{S}
 And thank you for all you have done for us.{S}
 Because of you, I have lost all hope.{S}
 Are you saying you have forgotten the magical night we shared?{S}
 Or the son we created, who now has his birthright stripped from him because <emp>you</emp> got yourself exiled!{S}
 I have had to care for him myself, nurse him, clothe him.{S}
 I can not work.{S}
 No one wants to lie with a woman who is used up her fertility on some casteless brat.{S}
 How could you do this to us?{S}
 Convince your family to take you back.{S}
 I guess you <emp>do</emp> care after all.{S}
 Well, thank you for caring.{S}
 I haven't had a solid meal in a week.{S}
 And I have faith you will do all you can to ensure your son grows up an Aeducan.{S}
 He should never have been born...{S}
 How could you do this?{S}
 And they call us that for a reason, because we have chosen to bear the next generation of <emp>nobles</emp>!{S}
 How am I supposed to take care of him?{S}
 Well, I have nothing but time.{S}
 You have destroyed us!{S}
 Lord Harrowmont has accepted you both into his house.{S}
 Name him Endrin, for my father.{S}
 Duncan would be a nice name.{S}
 Please name him Trian, to honor my brother's memory.{S}
 Name him after me.{S}
 You may name him whatever you like.{S}
 You will be an Aeducan, if I help Bhelen take the throne.{S}
 I haven't had a chance to ask yet.{S}
 Do I know you?{S}
 Did you say "son?"{S}
 If it is within my power, I will get my son his birthright.{S}
 I will ask, but do not get your hopes up.{S}
 I will try.{S}
 In the meantime, here is some money to live on. <act>Give her one sovereign.</act> <act>Give her a ten sovereigns.</act> <act>Give her fifty sovereigns.</act> <act>Give her a thousand sovereigns.</act>{S}
 If I could get back my status, I would have done it already.{S}

 I do not have time to talk about this now.{S}

 I know that it cannot be found unless sought.{S}
 I... have I ever told you I really like the way you wear your hair?{S}
 Simple, not like the elaborate hairstyles we wore in Orlais.{S}
 No, I do not believe you have.{S}
 One year, feathers were all the rage, and Lady Elise decided she needed to outdo everyone else, and actually wore live songbirds in her voluminous hair.{S}
 The chirping was quite charming for a while, but you must realize, terrified little birdies often have loose bowels.{S}
 Yes... you can imagine what she looked like by the end of the evening.{S}
 But I was trying to say something nice to you, wasn't I?{S}
 Yes, I do not envy them.{S}
 And I actually do like the way you ramble.{S}
 Maybe I just keep it to myself.{S}
 What do you have against the Chantry?{S}
 You play along with me!{S}
 Not many will do that.{S}
 I had no idea you felt that way.{S}
 I have never regretted leaving Orlais.{S}
 I do not regret any of the pain, the anger, the loneliness, because it brought me to you.{S}
 The world needs help.{S}
 What would you do, then?{S}
 True, we have to save ourselves.{S}
 My people have a tale: A great ashkaari during his travels came upon a village in the desert.{S}
 There, he found the houses crumbling.{S}
 The earth so dry and dead that the people tied themselves to each other for fear a strong wind would carry the ground out from under their feet.{S}
 Oh, but people are starting to look at me strangely.{S}
 I suppose even friends can get on each others nerves sometimes.{S}
 Let us just be on our way.{S}
 What does this have to do with the Chant?{S}
 And what would you do if I said I do?{S}
 And do you often enjoy the company of other women?{S}
 I think I might tell you not to get the wrong idea about me?{S}
 I think you are getting the wrong idea.{S}
 Let us talk about my hair some more.{S}
 I enjoy spending time with my friends.{S}
 You must do that then, perhaps later when I am not prepared for it?{S}
 You make your own world."{S}
 Sometimes you need faith in a higher power to change.{S}
 People do not make the world, Sten.{S}
 Sometimes people use faith as an excuse not to change.{S}
 Tell me, when you awakened after Ostagar, was the world the same as it had been before?{S}
 I suppose you have a point.{S}
 It is the hazard of carrying wisdom unsheathed.{S}
 You will find wisdom only if you seek it.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 The humidity, it does nothing for it, and we can not have you saving the world with bad hair, now can we?{S}
 There is no one else I would rather spend time with.{S}
 Come then, let us get going.{S}
 If I recall correctly, you have some important earth-shattering business to attend to?{S}
 No, let us talk about my hair again.{S}
 Never mind, I must have misunderstood.{S}
 An elven tomb built by shems?{S}
 And the antaam will bring this land to the Qun.{S}
 He tells me you two have been... intimate.{S}
 I do not know what to think.{S}
 I did not know you were... fond of other men.{S}
 Not that... not that there is anything wrong with it, but I had no idea.{S}
 So you have... made your decision, I suppose?{S}
 And you tell him, if he ever hurts you, he will have to face me!{S}
 You do not have to deny it.{S}
 That would be hard to do since Zevran has been boasting about it to anyone who will listen!{S}
 I did not realize you were at all attracted to him.{S}
 To tell the truth, I did not either, until he came along.{S}
 I do not know?{S}
 Does this mean we can not be friends anymore?{S}
 Well, there is something to be said for trying new things.{S}
 Dear Maker, please do not tell anyone else.{S}
 I will... hope that I do not live to see that day.{S}
 But it does no good to dwell on it.{S}
 No, it was a mistake I made.{S}
 You should try everything once, except for incest and qunari cuisine?{S}
 I... do not know.{S}
 Do you mean they are abominations?{S}
 Zevran did not seem to think you regretted it that much, but he is not known for his honesty, is he?{S}
 They do not have the excuse of demons within them.{S}
 One moment of betrayal can bring more ruin than an earthquake.{S}
 I will always be here for you, if you need me.{S}
 Does that mean there are no darkspawn in Seheron?{S}
 They are gaping holes where men used to be.{S}
 What do they want?{S}
 It was a mistake that I have regretted.{S}
 A foreman, a harvester, rank did not matter.{S}
 It is my business because... because we... we work together?{S}
 We need to rely on each other and... and perhaps honesty is necessary here.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I do not see why this is any of your business.{S}
 You have already drawn your own conclusions.{S}
 I think I made a mistake about you.{S}
 I just thought we had something here.{S}
 We do.{S}
 Why does Zevran do anything?{S}
 Often I do not know what to make of him.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Why would Zevran make something like this up?{S}
 I do not see how this is your concern.{S}
 Do not tell me you haven't felt drawn to him.{S}
 We have never been intimate.{S}
 I have to admit he does have something about him.{S}
 I do not know what I am saying.{S}
 I know Zevran seeks pleasure and not a bond of friendship or... or anything else, but you...{S}
 Is this how you treat people?{S}
 Boy meets girl, boy beds girl... you know.{S}
 Zevran does not have my heart.{S}
 Eye, heart... it does not matter.{S}
 I am sorry if I... made you feel uncomfortable.{S}
 Let us put this behind us, shall we?{S}
 This is a joke I find none too funny.{S}
 I think you just had a misunderstanding.{S}
 Shall we forget I ever brought this up?{S}
 Then why did you...?{S}
 H-have you seen my lunch?{S}
 I-I am only asking because you never know who is going to get hungry.{S}
 And I have never seen one of <emp>those</emp> before.{S}
 Did someone stretch you?{S}
 I hope you do not mind if I look around for a little n-n-nip here, and--{S}
 I have some lovely things here.{S}
 Oh, yes, I have often thought that myself.{S}
 Most people do not anymore, or maybe they are too polite to mention it.{S}
 I had a little incident a few years back.{S}
 I uh, I cut myself, and the dust got straight in the blood.{S}
 Then I am straight as an arrow, best work you have ever seen.{S}
 But handling the ore directly, some-sometimes you get burned.{S}
 It is not just your skin it takes off; it will burn directly into your m-m-mind.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I am fine when I work.{S}
 I have the best blades here.{S}
 Enchanted to hold f-f-fire, ice, anything you want to put in it.{S}
 I work the ore m-myself. <desc>Giggles</desc>{S}
 W-w-weak surfacers like you touch the raw ore, and you will bleed from your eyeballs in hours.{S}
 Us down here, though, w-we should be able to handle it just fine.{S}
 "Have a look at my shop," I hope.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 So working with lyrium made you crazy?{S}
 Let me see your wares.{S}
 Simply watch as we worked to examine the empty house, a new one each time, that had once been the home of a colleague, a friend.{S}
 We always made a point of searching.{S}
 Now and then, a body would turn up in a river, eaten by rain and crows.{S}
 More often, we found nothing.{S}
 I have no more answers than you.{S}
 Why do we fight the darkspawn?{S}
 Why do the darkspawn fight us?{S}
 Oh, do not tell me you have never done the same.{S}
 I do not either.{S}
 Which follower do you want?{S}
 What I have done has... has nothing to do with this!{S}
 Why do I always get myself into these conversations?{S}
 Do you bed every person you are "curious" about?{S}
 Do what you like.{S}
 I should never have brought this up.{S}
 I suppose I do.{S}
 Your disapproving tone is starting to grate on my nerves.{S}
 I mean... it wasn't my place to criticize what you did in private.{S}
 I did not mean for it to do so.{S}
 I have moved past this.{S}
 Just try not to get so crazy in future.{S}
 I have seen you together.{S}
 He tried to <emp>kill</emp> you and apparently he is still more honest than you are.{S}
 I do not know if I can trust you, if I can trust the things you have said to me.{S}
 You are... very special to me, but if you do not feel the same, please, tell me now.{S}
 I care for you deeply, Leliana.{S}
 I should not have lied to you.{S}
 Do not the Tal-Vashoth give reasons?{S}
 There has to be an explanation.{S}
 Why do you fight?{S}
 I should have ended it with Zev long ago.{S}
 I do not feel the same.{S}
 I do not want to lose you.{S}
 You are going to make me choose, are not you?{S}
 I need to know what is going on between you and Zevran.{S}
 I have seen the knowing glances he shoots at you.{S}
 Oh, do not pretend you do not know what I am talking about.{S}
 I do not know if there is is anyone who does not but I...{S}
 Oh, do not start.{S}
 Did you think there was?{S}
 I do like him.{S}
 If you... if you hadn't made your move, perhaps I would have.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I do not know what I am saying.{S}
 He could not have found a better companion.{S}
 I have seen you flirting with him.{S}
 You may think it is harmless, and means nothing, but I see that he is quite taken with you.{S}
 Alistair is a wonderful person and you should not give him false hopes, if you do not mean to go further.{S}
 I know he does.{S}
 I do like him a lot though.{S}
 Oh, keep your nose out of it.{S}
 I just care a lot about you... and Alistair of course.{S}
 I do not want to see anyone hurt.{S}
 Do the reasons matter?{S}
 It makes little difference to those they fight.{S}
 To get revenge.{S}
 Because I have to.{S}
 To prove myself.{S}
 Tell me, then: Why do you fight?{S}
 But does that matter, so long as you stand, and believe you know your enemy?{S}
 How will you know when you get it?{S}
 A lot of what you have said about the qunari is oppressive.{S}
 You are a soldier, what do you care about casualties?{S}
 You do not think they have any justification?{S}
 I have seen you together.{S}
 I would have to be blind, deaf and buried ten leagues underground not to notice!{S}
 But you have said such things to me!{S}
 Have you been playing with my feelings?{S}
 If you really care, do not do this to us.{S}
 I know Alistair would not want it any more than I do.{S}
 I care for both of you.{S}
 I did not mean to.{S}
 I do not know that it is love, really...{S}
 I think I do.{S}
 So you... you have been then.{S}
 What are you doing to him?{S}
 Do not make me choose between you.{S}
 When the dead are mine, I care.{S}
 But they do not care what I think.{S}
 You have gone back to being cryptic, I see.{S}
 I need to do this.{S}
 I need to know where we stand.{S}
 This cannot continue.{S}
 It is not fair to either of us, so I will make this decision for you.{S}
 I love you both and I am happy for you, and I will always be here, if you need me, my friend.{S}
 Then I choose you.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I should end it with Alistair before this goes too far.{S}
 I do not think I want to live without either of you.{S}
 I did not mean to offend you by speaking of this.{S}
 I have no feelings you can hurt, Warden.{S}
 Do not make this more difficult.{S}
 I could make you leave.{S}
 It is a wonder why you even speak, sometimes. <desc>This letter is marked as having been written by First Enchanter Arlen of the Circle of Magi over twenty years ago:</desc> <desc>"Madam,</desc> <desc>"I can assure you that the Circle of Magi is not a sacrilegious institution and that, indeed, we are under the supervision of the Chantry."</desc> <desc>"It would make our investigation of your husband's death much easier if you would simply co-operate with us."</desc> <desc>"Our investigator reports that the store owner was uncooperative in recovering the golems control rod.{S}

 Wilhelm's Journal <desc>You find a stack of books that appear to be journals.{S}
 Each one is bound in a unique way, reflecting the personalities of the mages who bound them.</desc> <desc>You find nothing of any real use, mostly notes on research written in personal shorthand.</desc> <desc>You find a journal bound in black leather.{S}
 Let he who absconds with this book have his eyes taken by crows."</desc> <desc>You take the journal and stuff it into your pack.</desc> <desc>This is just the text for Wilhelm's journal.{S}
 Wilhelm's journal is filled with information about research and experiments he has conducted, as well as information about the people in Redcliffe.{S}
 "I sent them a missive months ago, offering a trade for one of their precious gems: the ones they set in the foreheads of their golems.{S}
 As expected, their shaper of memories declined my request, claiming that they had no such gems to spare.{S}
 I know better: If there is one thing dwarves have, it is gems."{S}
 "Fortunately, I have been leaning on a dealer of... curiosities... who has procured an actual golem.{S}
 It is possible he will be reluctant to sell the creature, but I will convince him to give up the beast one way or another."{S}
 If I am right, and removing the gem does indeed revive the ancient creature's memories, then I may well become the greatest source of ancient-world information in Ferelden."{S}
 "And as a welcome side-effect, I will have gained a golem servant of my own, something that will surely only help me in my efforts to keep the backward residents of Redcliffe in line." <act>Search through the journals.</act> <act>Search the stack for Wilhelm's journal.</act> <act>Take Wilhelm's Journal.</act> <act>Leave the books alone.</act>{S}
 So, uh, what did you do with her legs?{S}
 I did not do anything with them.{S}
 I do not know what--{S}
 Just got 'em outta the way and went about your business.{S}
 I do not know--{S}
 Are you just making these up right now?{S}
 You know what would do you some good?{S}
 Go out, find a girl.{S}
 Does not matter who, as long as there is no pants involved.{S}
 What makes you think I haven't?{S}
 That proves to be useful, I am sure.{S}
 You have my deepest condolences.{S}
 So do you.{S}
 You think so, do you?{S}
 Know what I do to relieve tension?{S}
 Give it a good shine.{S}
 You are telling me you never gave yer blade the old spit-shine?{S}
 Sodding Chantry and its rules.{S}
 I like to do it right out in the open.{S}
 Do not give me that look, dog.{S}
 Oh, he did not do anything to you.{S}
 Let it go.{S}
 They tell you what to wear in the Chantry?{S}
 You have robes and such that you must wear.{S}
 What difference does it make?{S}
 I will find out one way or the other.{S}
 What do you people see in him?{S}
 It must be very difficult for you to handle.{S}
 I do not blame you your envy, however.{S}
 Especially considering that the chances of any woman who is not struck both blind and dumb of providing you the attention you crave is... slight.{S}
 You can not get under my skin!{S}
 Were I you, I would simply give up all hope of knowing another woman at all.{S}
 Or have you already?{S}
 I already have.{S}
 The things I could do to you.{S}
 Did I say that out loud?{S}
 There is nothing you could do.{S}
 Do you wish to see?{S}
 Well, the offer stands.{S}
 You know, I have seen a golem or two in my time.{S}
 We have them in Orzammar.{S}
 Thing is, I do not remember anyone ever mentioning about them having memory problems.{S}
 It did not have anything interesting to say, but it is memory?{S}
 It could tell you what you were wearing at the Barnack Festival ten years ago.{S}
 Course, if someone simply <emp>claimed</emp> to have lost their memory, that would avoid some awkward questions.{S}
 You go on and do not answer me.{S}
 Who ate the cabbage?{S}
 You have birthed a cloud to be proud of!{S}
 I hope you have thought of a name.{S}
 Oh, I would give you a roll.{S}
 I am not sure I have the equipment for that, but sure, whatever gets you working.{S}
 Got something in my....{S}
 Never mind, I do not want to know.{S}
 Keep your nose up.{S}
 You know, just because we do not all live in some tower in the clouds does not mean we are worthless.{S}
 I did not....{S}
 And furthermore, I do not think I appreciate the way you looked at me last night.{S}
 Must have been the dog.{S}
 When that thing was... you do not even remember.{S}
 Next time I will just let it get you, that is all.{S}
 Need someone with a little more experience, I guess, right?{S}
 Well, you know where to find me.{S}
 Keep it to yourself!{S}
 Keep it down, though.{S}
 She would have to go for an elf.{S}
 Does that make you jealous, my stout little friend?{S}
 Last thing I need is another woman in my life.{S}
 Shocking that our fair Grey Warden did not choose you, instead.{S}
 Oghren, if you want to bed me, you have only to ask.{S}
 You have my oath.{S}
 I would have thought saving the surface would have involved less walking.{S}
 Little legs getting tired?{S}
 I thought these people had animals.{S}
 Hey now, do not start with the--{S}
 You knife-eared pipe-cleaner, you could not carry me on your best day.{S}
 I give up.{S}
 Just keep walking.{S}
 I do not go into forests as a rule.{S}
 Then why the sod do we keep hearing about elves frolicking in the thicket and nug-spew like that?{S}
 Least my mom had the good sense to hide the booze from him.{S}
 Hey buddy, let us not go <emp>crazy</emp> or anything.{S}
 Keep your pants where I can see 'em.{S}
 I have something to say to you!{S}
 But just know I had something.{S}
 You have had several somethings, I suspect.{S}
 You found Flemeth's tome, and gave it to Morrigan.{S}
 She seems quite eager to start studying it and Maker only knows what she will learn from it.{S}
 You confronted Flemeth and dealt with her.{S}
 Perhaps they will start talking again.{S}
 Oghren has told you about an old "friend" called Felsi who left for the surface about a year ago.{S}
 Oghren and Felsi did not part on good terms.{S}
 Now that he is on the surface, he wants to look her up, to see if she has forgiven him.{S}
 Start Felsi Dialog{S}
 Sacred Urn Done{S}
 Paragon Done{S}
 Broken Circle Done{S}
 Set Oghren's Approval{S}
 What if I have?{S}
 I need some supplies, actually.{S}
 We have tamassrans.{S}
 I do not know this other thing of yours.{S}
 What is it now? <emp>Kill Flemeth and take her real grimoire</emp>{S}
 Morrigan has spent much time reading the tome you found in the Circle Tower.{S}
 However, while it wasn't exactly a book of Flemeth's magic as she had hoped, she has learned one thing: Flemeth intends to use her to prolong her life.{S}
 Morrigan has decided that Flemeth must die, and that Flemeth's real grimoire is to be hers.{S}
 Her secrets and storied grimoire are yours to loot and do with as you please.{S}
 Where do you think you are going?{S}
 We have got work to do.{S}
 I will find Branka later.{S}
 You confronted Flemeth and dealt with her.{S}
 However, you decided to keep her grimoire for yourself.{S}
 You will tear the skin off your arse and be glad you did it.{S}
 They have just been attacked, after all.{S}
 And the elf chased her and then found her?{S}
 I would not allow any to keep me from my goal.{S}
 Going out there could cause another attack, and I wish no harm upon my clan.{S}
 To hold the group over the individual is worthy.{S}
 Since we seem to be headed into the forest anyhow, that does seem to be the right thing to do.{S}
 I have had quite enough of fools assuming we are here to solve their little problems.{S}
 Surely it would be no trouble to keep an eye out? <desc>Sigh</desc> Why you bother to stop and talk with anyone at all amazes me.{S}
 And perhaps you need more compassion for those not as free as yourself.{S}
 I can only hope that if you... <emp>do</emp> come across her, you might consider telling me.{S}
 You will hardly get any help unless you ask for it, hmm?{S}
 We would truly like to hear what has troubled you so.{S}
 If there is nothing else you need, I would ask that you leave me to my misery.{S}
 We have better things to do.{S}
 Perhaps he just needs to accept the truth.{S}
 I tend to put my victims out of their misery, myself, and avoid unnecessary pain.{S}
 I should not take up too much of your time.{S}
 Important things to do, eh?{S}
 What are any of us doing here now?{S}
 You grew up in a world rife with political intrigue and have struggled against brothers and cousins for honor and prestige.{S}
 Once this is done, no matter how it turns out I will be gone.{S}
 I suggest you not let that happen.{S}
 I do not think that would be wise.{S}
 You do not know how much.{S}
 There is far more I might have done for you, had this been another time and we... been different people.{S}
 It is, I think, the very least I could offer you.{S}
 And you are most welcome. <desc>Sigh</desc> Allow me to say only one thing before we go.{S}
 This could have been so much easier, yet I... cannot regret what was between us.{S}
 Now let us see this finally done.{S}
 I knew nothing of friendship before we met.{S}
 Let us go, and see this finally done.{S}
 And what made you think you ever could? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Sentimentality.{S}
 I am touched... truly. <desc>Chuckles</desc> I would still see this to the end, but so be it.{S}
 Let us part ways now.{S}
 And let us be done with each other at last.{S}
 This should have been so much easier.{S}
 I should have known better.{S}
 I did not know what it meant to have a friend, once.{S}
 And so you... make it difficult for me, do you?{S}
 This could have been so much easier.{S}
 I allowed myself...{S}
 I should have known better.{S}
 Yet I cannot bring myself to regret.{S}
 No, let us not argue over this.{S}
 You do not have the time... and we have an agreement.{S}
 I was hoping you might have changed your mind.{S}
 Then let me thank you now, for what you have done.{S}
 I will find you, Morrigan.{S}
 Just do not make me come after you.{S}
 No, but I do not want you going anywhere.{S}
 Finding Oskias{S}
 Entering the Proving{S}
 We have slaughtered our way this far, what is a bit further?{S}
 Arguing with that logic will just give me a headache, I swear.{S}
 But it should do as it wishes.{S}
 Surely we can listen to what they have to say?{S}
 We have already slaughtered our way through them, unless you have forgotten.{S}
 If I were them, I would lead us into an ambush.{S}
 Your murderous life has soured you on the goodness of others.{S}
 Do we truly lose so much by listening to their words?{S}
 Do we truly lose so much just by listening to their words?{S}
 I do not agree with this, but I see you will not be convinced otherwise.{S}
 It is never a weakness to seek out alternatives, Shale.{S}
 I still need to find Witherfang, Shale.{S}
 Let us parley, then.{S}
 Do not back down now.{S}
 How did the Proving turn out?{S}
 How did Oskias turn out?{S}
 So do I!{S}
 Well, I do not like this plan at all!{S}
 All I ask is that you hear what I have to say, first.{S}
 Jumping to this section requires that you have Leske with you, would you like to jump to get him?{S}
 Directions: When you get to the new area, enter the debug script again to have Leske join your party and continue to the area you chose.{S}
 I have a wife.{S}
 Had I known...{S}
 But the Joining is not yet complete.{S}
 Do as you see fit, then.{S}
 If you think it is best, then do it.{S}
 I will do as I think is best, now back off.{S}
 Are you truly going to do this?{S}
 I hold no allegiance for them, but this... does not sit well with me.{S}
 Do not do this thing, I beg you.{S}
 I would do as you ask, if you asked it, but... thank you.{S}
 I should not have mentioned it.{S}
 You would punish the Dalish for something Zathrian did?{S}
 Just figured that out, did you?{S}
 I get it.{S}
 It is already done.{S}
 I will find another way.{S}
 The werewolves will make better allies.{S}
 I have decided.{S}
 I send you to kill Witherfang, and now they have turned you against me?{S}
 They attacked my clan and they were the same savages then that they have ever been.{S}
 Though truly we could have gotten this over with by attacking the Lady when we had the chance, no?{S}
 It does not matter.{S}
 Please... take no offense at my friend.{S}
 No, wait... would it make any difference if I said we were Grey Wardens?{S}
 The Grey Wardens need skilled fighters.{S}
 To take you would be to condemn you to certain death, and I will not.{S}
 No, do not leave me here!{S}
 You may take that one, but I ask only one thing, Grey Warden:{S}
 Let us end this, then.{S}
 I can not say I have killed a sodding forest spirit before!{S}
 And I refuse to accept that there is no way to end this peacefully!{S}
 I was beginning to wonder!{S}
 We are doing what we have to.{S}
 Zathrian must end this curse; we cannot support him!{S}
 Yes, save the world from the Blight, but let it be torn apart by hatred?{S}
 Has <emp>it</emp> gone mad?{S}
 And it chooses the elf?{S}
 Yes, it seems like you have had your own troubles.{S}
 What is it you need our aid for?{S}
 We owe service to no one.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You do as I say, Wynne, or you leave.{S}
 He needs to end the curse.{S}
 Just shut up and do as you are told!{S}
 I came to recruit the aid of the Dalish.{S}
 You do indeed owe service: to me.{S}
 All that matters?{S}
 We need his help.{S}
 What choice do we have?{S}
 Arl Eamon did not seem to think so.{S}
 You do not know anything about him, so do not judge him.{S}
 So you met this sibling of yours?{S}
 And you made a promise to help her?{S}
 Why would you do such a thing?{S}
 This woman is a parasite who will appreciate nothing you do.{S}
 And you gave the woman money?{S}
 You would have liked her.{S}
 You two have a lot in common.{S}
 And you let her berate you?{S}
 There is one thing I do not understand, Alistair.{S}
 I do.{S}
 And what use the deception might have had ended when King Cailan perished, did it not?{S}
 The truth does not "go away."{S}
 I did not say it was a good plan.{S}
 So am I to understand that you two have ended your relationship?{S}
 No questions allowed?{S}
 You do not wish your motivations--{S}
 I do wonder.{S}
 It seems most undisciplined, for an organization that claims it will do whatever is necessary to end the darkspawn threat.{S}
 One thing has nothing to do with the other.{S}
 And what if a Grey Warden was forced to choose between the Warden he loved and ending the Blight?{S}
 And I have my answer.{S}
 You... do not truly think I look as my mother does, do you?{S}
 Have you really been thinking about that all this time?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Give it a few hundred years and it will be a spot-on match.{S}
 Got it.{S}
 Have a care where your eyes linger, Alistair.{S}
 Yes, well do not worry.{S}
 So I take it you did not enjoy your templar training?{S}
 That is directed at me, I take it?{S}
 Do you see any others about who have failed at their religious instruction?{S}
 I did not fail.{S}
 I was recruited into the Grey Wardens.{S}
 And if you had not been recruited?{S}
 What would have happened, instead?{S}
 I would have turned into a drooling lunatic, slaughtered the grand cleric and run through the streets of Denerim in my small clothes, I guess.{S}
 Your self-awareness does you credit.{S}
 I have a wonder, Alistair, if you will indulge me.{S}
 Do I have a choice?{S}
 I find it curious that you allow another to lead, while you follow.{S}
 You find that curious, do you?{S}
 In fact, you defer to a new recruit.{S}
 Maybe you would prefer to lead?{S}
 What do you want to hear?{S}
 I do.{S}
 I just gave you one, fool dog. <desc>More insistent whine</desc>{S}
 You ate my entire bag of herbs, you foolish dog.{S}
 Do not think I am unaware of where it went. <desc>Unhappy whine</desc>{S}
 You should be pleased they did not kill you.{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 I am certainly not going to give you more, even if I did have more to give. <desc>Whine!</desc>{S}
 You have some nerve, creature.{S}
 I have nothing you want.{S}
 Why do you keep staring at me so, you flea-ridden beast!{S}
 You would be best to desist and find your own.{S}
 Find my own what? <desc>Sigh</desc> This facade of yours is unconvincing.{S}
 If 'tis a competition you wish, a competition you shall have.{S}
 I see you yet continue to be where you are not welcome.{S}
 Because I do not think it is for you to decide what I should or should not do.{S}
 Oh, you may continue on as you have.{S}
 I am not without my own pointy ends, as well.{S}
 Do not make promises you cannot keep.{S}
 I always keep my promises.{S}
 And yet he and I have made love.{S}
 Did you know this?{S}
 All the better, as he will soon discover you have nothing else to offer.{S}
 What do you think he will do when he discovers that you offer only frigid incompetence?{S}
 If we reach that point... if we do... it will be because we love each other.{S}
 And yet love grows rotten on the vine so quickly, a sour fruit that offers only a memory of sweetness.{S}
 And what exactly is it that you believe you have to offer?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You do not think the rest of us haven't noticed, I hope?{S}
 Oh, you do not fool me!{S}
 Let me tell you one thing, and then let us speak of it no more.{S}
 Love is a cancer that grows inside and makes one do foolish things.{S}
 He chose me over you.{S}
 If your hope is that he chose something pure and sugary sweet, then you are quite wrong.{S}
 What he chose is passion.{S}
 I imagine you have already composed a suitable ballad to commemorate the events at Redcliffe, Leliana?{S}
 Why would I do such a thing?{S}
 You have taken up your instruments once again, have you not?{S}
 A bard takes events of great import and puts them to tale.{S}
 You make it sound as if you enjoyed what happened there.{S}
 But we were successful in the end.{S}
 Victory without cost has little worth.{S}
 I just think of what that poor little boy went through... no, I do not want to glorify what happened there.{S}
 Let me ask you this, then, Morrigan.{S}
 Then I would wonder why He has abandoned His creation.{S}
 He left us because we were determined to make our own way, even if we hurt ourselves, and He could not bear to watch.{S}
 But how do you know?{S}
 Perhaps He has gone to a new creation elsewhere, and abandoned this as a dismal failure, best forgotten.{S}
 I do not need to know because I have faith.{S}
 How quickly those who have no answers invoke that word.{S}
 How can someone who practices magic have so little capacity to believe in that which she cannot see?{S}
 I can touch it and command it and I need no faith for it to fill me up inside.{S}
 I do not envy the loneliness you must feel at times, Morrigan.{S}
 So you truly do not believe in any sort of higher power?{S}
 It has been bothering you, I see.{S}
 No, I do not.{S}
 What do you believe happens to you after you die, then?{S}
 I do not go to sit by the Maker's side, if that is what you mean.{S}
 Only those who are worthy are brought to the Maker's side.{S}
 And what evidence of this have you?{S}
 It must be so sad to look forward to nothing, to feel no love and seek no reward in the afterlife.{S}
 You have seen through me to my sad, sad core.{S}
 I am wondering, Morrigan... do you believe in the Maker?{S}
 I have no primitive fear of the moon such that I must place my faith in tales so that I may sleep at night.{S}
 The fact of their existence does not presuppose an intelligent design by some absentee father-figure.{S}
 I do not believe that.{S}
 I believe we have a purpose.{S}
 Finally decided to gloat, have you?{S}
 At least I was trying to be better than I was.{S}
 At least I regretted the evil I would done.{S}
 It seems that at least you got the self-righteousness down pat.{S}
 Well done.{S}
 So I take it that the swamp witch and the Grey Warden are... intimate?{S}
 I am simply curious as to whether or not it bewitched the Grey Warden. <desc>Scoffs</desc> I have no need to force anything from men.{S}
 I was about to offer my congratulations for a task accomplished.{S}
 It could not have been its plan from the very beginning, then.{S}
 I knew nothing about my mother's... intentions... prior to finding the book.{S}
 Unnecessary, considering it is the only one who can read the book.{S}
 Would you like me to teach you how to read the book?{S}
 Then you can see for yourself. <desc>Snorts</desc> Now it is testing me. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Well do you care enough to learn, or no?{S}
 What reason would be? <desc>Chuckles</desc> I do not know.{S}
 You find that maddening, do you?{S}
 It has a bird-like nature to its sadism, I will give it that.{S}
 Let us leave it that way.{S}
 Does the golem wish to become human, after all?{S}
 To join with the forest, to become one with its denizens... there was a freedom in that.{S}
 I fear the second Warden has not the knowledge to answer my question.{S}
 Certainly whatever he happened to come up with would serve as amusement.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 I seek enlightenment, and not amusement.{S}
 You are apt to get much further seeking amusement, I assure you.{S}
 I do not understand it.{S}
 I will ask the swamp witch later when it is less inclined to make bizarre responses to my queries.{S}
 Seeking companionship, are you?{S}
 And how does it learn a form?{S}
 Does it read about it somewhere? <desc>Laughs</desc> 'Tis not a talent one can read from books!{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Rock is unchanging--allow it to stay that way.{S}
 I... what did you say?{S}
 You will need armor, I think.{S}
 Qunari teeth can bite through leather, wood, even metal given time.{S}
 Which reminds me, I may try to nuzzle.{S}
 If that happens, you will need an iron pry bar.{S}
 Heat it in a fire, first, or it may not get my attention.{S}
 Perhaps it would be better if we did not proceed.{S}
 So have you changed your mind, Sten?{S}
 Do not you belong to the Grey Warden?{S}
 And what if I did not mind?{S}
 Why do you pester me? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Because 'tis amusing, that is why.{S}
 So are you going to continue staring at me as if I am covered in eels?{S}
 Keep trying, then.{S}
 I am led to understand that the qunari have their own mages as well.{S}
 Take your pick. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Is that supposed to make me angry?{S}
 It means I find myself wishing that your people held proper, civilized attitudes towards magic.{S}
 And yet you continue speaking.{S}
 I do not understand what you mean.{S}
 Most your age would spend much of their time pre-occupied wondering when they might perish.{S}
 A fortunate thing, then, that I do not consider myself bound by such rules.{S}
 I do not know how much time I have left... only that it is very little.{S}
 One who keenly appreciates that our time in this world should be spent doing what is important.{S}
 I have always lived by such a philosophy.{S}
 I have spent time alone and unprotected.{S}
 You said earlier that I have spent no time alone.{S}
 I have.{S}
 I left the Wilds more than once when I was young, to seek more of the world of man.{S}
 Did you return to the Wilds on your own?{S}
 Or did your mother seek you out?{S}
 Especially for someone ill-prepared for it.{S}
 I have been thinking about what you said, Morrigan.{S}
 Allow me to leap to the supposition that you disagree.{S}
 Let us say that the Circle did not exist.{S}
 Nature dictates that the strong survive, if they have the will.{S}
 So you prefer a life of hardship and fear, so long as you believe you are not tethered and free to do as you wish.{S}
 It simply strikes me as odd that one who believes in such freedom has never spent any time alone and unprotected.{S}
 What you said before, Morrigan... about the Circle of Magi being a leash... do you truly believe that?{S}
 Taught to fear their abilities?{S}
 That is what the Circle teaches.{S}
 Believing ourselves to be superior over other men is what led to the Imperium... and the darkspawn. <desc>Scoffs</desc> I cannot believe you give credence to such drivel.{S}
 Those who do not heed the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.{S}
 Then you need look no further than the elves for an example of what occurs when you allow others to hold your leash.{S}
 It must have been very difficult for you and your mother, Morrigan, to live always hiding from the Chantry and its hunters.{S}
 But surely you must have drawn notice from time to time.{S}
 No matter how powerful you claim to be, you would not wish the full attention of the Chantry.{S}
 Hunters did come into the Wilds from time to time.{S}
 They did not leave.{S}
 I find that difficult to believe.{S}
 I imagine you find many things difficult to believe.{S}
 Your own preference for the leash you wear, for instance.{S}
 You may have stumbled into a most delightful possibility for your future.{S}
 It simply occurs to me that if, say, Alistair were to become king of Ferelden he may have need of someone of your... talents.{S}
 From what I know of the fellow it seems there would be a fair difference between what he needed and what he cared to make use of.{S}
 Whoever puts him there... now there is the one who will need you.{S}
 You have such a devious mind, my dear.{S}
 Why have we not made love as of yet?{S}
 I would sooner stab you in the face than let you touch me, elf.{S}
 And somehow that makes the idea even more intriguing...{S}
 Getting in the good graces of the one who decides whether you live or die, not to mention the one who can protect you against your former comrades.{S}
 We all have our reasons for doing what we do.{S}
 Mine happen to come with a set of lovely eyes.{S}
 They all but rule over my homeland.{S}
 Do you find that extraordinary?{S}
 Are they so powerful simply because they are very good at what they do?{S}
 Or do you believe their wrath will be greater than it already is, should you speak out of turn?{S}
 It may be that I simply do not wish to tell you.{S}
 You get the most delightful wrinkle in your brow when you are curious.{S}
 I do.{S}
 So you do not fear the Crows at all?{S}
 You think the Grey Wardens will give you safe harbor once all this is done?{S}
 I am willing to take my chances.{S}
 One does not do what I do and fear death so very greatly.{S}
 And one of them is being unable to choose which master you serve.{S}
 You do still intend to kill your target, do you not?{S}
 I am led to believe that the Crows would never permit such a transgression.{S}
 It has come to my attention that the Crows are not always successful when pit against Grey Wardens and their companions.{S}
 I have considered doing far more than that, trust me.{S}
 So what is going to keep you from poisoning your target now that you have been allowed to accompany us, I wonder?{S}
 You will be watching me ever so closely to make sure I attempt no such thing.{S}
 And why would I do such a thing?{S}
 Sneaking into our good graces in order to make another attempt is what I would do, were I you.{S}
 It would be a simple enough matter to poison the food in camp.{S}
 Will that do?{S}
 Start with his toes and work your way up!{S}
 Do not kill him!{S}
 Let this be done, then.{S}
 If this is what truly matters...{S}
 No matter what.{S}
 Just bring me back to camp.{S}
 Just get out of here.{S}
 Let us just go back to the camp now. <desc>Chuckle</desc> He wishes to see if we did his work for him.{S}
 Do not call me that, witch.{S}
 I am keeper of this clan, and have done what I must.{S}
 Did you acquire the heart?{S}
 You wish to play games, do you?{S}
 I can sense that you have it.{S}
 So you wish to play games?{S}
 I can sense you do not have it.{S}
 I would rather talk about our deal.{S}
 Oh, I am sure you do not care about this...{S}
 No, I have no news of this person.{S}
 No, I do not, so I shall be on my way.{S}
 Get Plot Item{S}
 Get Shale's Activation Rod (Arl Eamon){S}
 There has been no word!{S}
 I do not have time to listen to this.{S}
 Well, well, what have we here?{S}
 Young love, allowed to flourish!{S}
 Does anyone else feel the urge to vomit?{S}
 Are all these bas such cringing, ineffectual creatures? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Now why have I never thought of that one?{S}
 Do we truly have time for such drivel?{S}
 I imagine an ancient being such as yourself would have many stories to tell, hmm?{S}
 I have thirty years worth of tales involving pastoral village life and being defecated on by pigeons.{S}
 You should have fought.{S}
 You should have fought to the last of you.{S}
 The humans have improved nothing.{S}
 Even so, many of us did fight.{S}
 Why use wood when you have got perfectly good metal and stone?{S}
 We would never have found this place without him.{S}
 Please, let me see the temple with my own eyes!{S}
 We can handle anything that comes our way.{S}
 I know you have his welfare at heart but... you can not dash his hopes like this.{S}
 Shall we get going?{S}
 I am trying to keep him alive.{S}
 I need you to be on your toes and not babysitting.{S}
 Did you kill him?{S}
 Before you do anything stupid, remember who I am.{S}
 It must have been a darkspawn attack.{S}
 This does not look like darkspawn.{S}
 We need to warn my father.{S}
 Do so.{S}
 Can you prove it?{S}
 Do you have proof?{S}
 You could have got that ring anywhere.{S}
 There were men in the thaig, trying to steal the shield.{S}
 What do I have to do with this?!{S}
 But I am afraid we are going to need more than that.{S}
 I do not have to listen to this slander.{S}
 Ser Gorim, your loyalty makes you a useless witness.{S}
 It seems they would done battle with the darkspawn.{S}
 Lady Aeducan came up to them, all friendly-like, but when we got close, she ordered us to attack!{S}
 Lord Aeducan came up to them, all friendly-like, but when we got close, he ordered us to attack!{S}
 Then we shall discover the truth.{S}
 The man is low-born and could easily be bought.{S}
 Take her weapons!{S}
 Take his weapons!{S}
 I think we have seen enough.{S}
 If the scout were lying, I might have done much the same.{S}
 Did the scout speak the truth?{S}
 He... he did, my lord.{S}
 Prince Trian did not stand a chance.{S}
 Do you have anything else to say, my daughter?{S}
 Do you have anything else to say, my son?{S}
 I want to believe that, I really do.{S}
 By all the ancestors, what has happened here?{S}
 Trian tried to kill me.{S}
 What does it look like?{S}
 I will make a better ruler than Trian.{S}
 What could I do?{S}
 I have Trian's ring, taken from men who tried to kill me.{S}
 You have my word, is not that enough?{S}
 You will let this man question my honor?{S}
 We just got here a moment ago.{S}
 Why, what does it look like?{S}
 These werewolves might have laid a trap for us, or something.{S}
 I lost most of my equipment to the werewolves, but I was hoping you found a small bone figurine near my body.{S}
 I thought to make a necklace out of it for my bride, but I want you to have it.{S}
 You take what you want, and leave no prisoners...{S}
 She may not have the courage to stand up to you, but I do.{S}
 You will not get away with what you have done.{S}
 I was wrong and I will not let you get away with this.{S}
 I am sorry; it had to be done.{S}
 I will not let you simply walk away from what you have done!{S}
 You did it because you care for no one but yourself.{S}
 It ends here!{S}
 You will have to deal with the both of us.{S}
 I did not let myself believe you would go this far.{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 We have to help him, not kill him!{S}
 Have you not achieved your monthly strangulation quota, or what?{S}
 Remind me of this next time you are hurt and require healing, will not you?{S}
 It will not hurt to listen to what he has to say.{S}
 I, for one, do not look forward to fighting my way through more of these... people.{S}
 They are gonna bury him, are not they?{S}
 At least they do not burn folks like the sodding humans do.{S}
 Thank the Maker we returned to the Dalish in time; He must have watched over this man.{S}
 And perhaps they just know the Maker by another name.{S}
 Do not you get it? <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 You could take a bath.{S}
 He does not actually teleport.{S}
 He uses illusions.{S}
 He uses illusions to disappear.{S}
 I intend to keep it there!{S}
 He has magic...{S}
 No fair bringing mages to a guessing game!{S}
 Will you play by the rules or not?{S}
 Will you play by the rules or not?{S}
 No offense, but might I try?{S}
 I have got a quick hand, after all.{S}
 Let us see... when was the last time I slipped my hand into some dark hole?{S}
 No, I can handle it. <desc>Angry barking</desc>{S}
 As if we haven't had enough problems with such creatures. <desc>Scoffs</desc>{S}
 I too would like to hear what he has to say.{S}
 We may find that there really is no need for all this slicing and dicing.{S}
 Or for a great deal of coin.{S}
 Let him talk.{S}
 Surely there is some deal this fool is willing to accept.{S}
 I am not dealing with these people, and that is that.{S}
 You know they will murder us as soon we let down our guard.{S}
 They would be fools to do so after what you have done to them.{S}
 He does look rather... shifty, does not he?{S}
 How dare you? <desc>Laughs</desc> I would like to shake the hand of anyone who would try to murder you after seeing you wade through the rest of them.{S}
 I will listen, but he had better make it quick.{S}
 I will do nothing for this man.{S}
 What do you have to lose?{S}
 I will not make deals with these people.{S}
 I suppose we could try to get along.{S}
 I refuse to listen to anything he has to say.{S}
 You will pay for that insult!{S}
 So if we do what this Kolgrim asks, does this mean we are not hunting their pet dragon?{S}
 I do not know if I like the idea of us helping this Kolgrim.{S}
 You are going to let this opportunity slip past you?{S}
 Oh, you will find another one soon enough.{S}
 You... will pay for this insult!{S}
 Your Andraste would make a worthy trophy. <act>Stay silent.</act>{S}
 Our archers will loose their arrows if I give the word.{S}
 But do as I ask and I will spare his life.{S}
 I think I will take my chances with the arrows.{S}
 I will do as you wish.{S}
 You are making a mistake; that is all I am saying.{S}
 Jumping to this section requires that you have Gorim with you, would you like to jump to get him?{S}
 Directions: When you get to the new area, enter the debug script again to have Gorim join your party and continue to the area you chose.{S}
 Jumping to this section requires that you have the two scouts with you.{S}
 Directions: When you get to the new area, enter the debug script again to have the scouts join your party.{S}
 I have considered.{S}
 You will only be satisfied when I do what you want.{S}
 You are just going to have to get used to it.{S}
 You seem to forget that I am the one who makes the decisions.{S}
 The Proving{S}
 The translation of this plaque reads, "Stand forever.{S}
 Darkness grows, yet we hold."{S}
 Oghren Joins Party{S}
 Completed/Failed (Paragon Done){S}
 We are working together, I think I should get to know you.{S}
 Let us just get a few things straight.{S}
 I need to know if I can trust you at my back.{S}
 I have given my word to aid you.{S}
 No need.{S}
 I have never seen a qunari before.{S}
 Why did you offer to help me?{S}
 Get used to disappointment.{S}
 Have you ever fought in a war?{S}
 What made you decide to become a soldier?{S}
 I have always fought in war, dwarf.{S}
 I have always fought in war, elf.{S}
 I have always fought in war, human.{S}
 My people have been at war since the moment we set foot in the northern islands.{S}
 We do now.{S}
 So the qunari do not come from the islands?{S}
 Naturally, the natives did not want to give up their land.{S}
 Have you tried diplomacy?{S}
 Where did you come from before?{S}
 I did not choose to be who I am any more than you did.{S}
 I do not see how this matters.{S}
 Lets go.{S}
 Not even its name.{S}
 It is not your duty to handle the Blight, though.{S}
 Does not that make your view of things a little skewed?{S}
 You did not really answer my question.{S}
 What does anyone truly know of the world?{S}
 The antaam observe what we can, just as you do.{S}
 Did you fight in the Proving for Harrowmont?{S}
 Did you win the Proving?{S}
 Did you get Baizyl to re-join the Proving?{S}
 Did you get Gwiddon to re-join the Proving?{S}
 We are keeping the darkspawn waiting.{S}
 They have no more allies than a hurricane or an earthquake.{S}
 As long as you do not make yourself my enemy, I will aid you.{S}
 We should get moving.{S}
 Turn Auto-Complete 151187 : Turn Auto-Complete 151201 : Who did you dedicate your victory to?{S}
 When did that happen?{S}
 What should I do if... if I think a woman is special and--{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 Especially when I do things like ask women if they are female.{S}
 Did not you just say <emp>not</emp> to do things like that?{S}
 You do know how to do that, do not you?{S}
 Nor, for that matter, a king.{S}
 Some days I have trouble figuring out which boot goes on which foot.{S}
 Complete fools are made leaders of kingdoms all the time, and you are not a complete fool.{S}
 And do not worry about the boots.{S}
 Kings do not need to dress themselves.{S}
 What was that... soup you made for supper last night?{S}
 Did you like it?{S}
 It had a certain... texture I do not normally associate with lamb.{S}
 They did not make lamb and pea stew for you in Lothering?{S}
 We ate simply there.{S}
 Whole grains, made into biscuits or bread, and vegetables from the garden, cooked lightly.{S}
 Ah, so the last lamb you had was probably cooked Orlesian style.{S}
 Now here in Ferelden, we do things right.{S}
 We take our ingredients, throw them in the largest pot we can find, and cook them for as long as possible until everything is a uniform grey color.{S}
 As soon as it looks completely bland and unappetizing, that is when I know it is done.{S}
 I will never get over how quietly you are able to move.{S}
 It took me years and years to learn and even then I am not the best at it.{S}
 So you did not sneak around when spying?{S}
 We all had different ways of doing things.{S}
 I realized that it is not such a bad thing to be seen, as long as you do not stand out and are quickly forgotten.{S}
 I specialized in blending in, not drawing attention and looking like I had every right to be there.{S}
 I do not know if I should take you seriously... but you scare me sometimes.{S}
 Lady Cecilie--I lived with her after my mother died--had a dog.{S}
 What did she name it... oh, yes.{S}
 So he has chosen you.{S}
 Look at him... look at him and know that you will never truly have him.{S}
 A cruel, cruel bitch, and you will get your comeuppance.{S}
 The way you look at him so intently, so hungrily... one would think you have never seen a man before.{S}
 There is no way I can deny you this... but why would he choose you, when he could have me?{S}
 You are confident, for a woman raised in a swamp, far from anything remotely resembling civilization.{S}
 A woman like you, why, he could find in any city in Thedas.{S}
 You should try a little harder next time he takes you.{S}
 I do not think they heard you in <emp>the Anderfels</emp>.{S}
 Get away from me, or I shall have to take drastic measures.{S}
 And maybe he does notice you, but what does he see?{S}
 I do not need to make disparaging remarks about other women to make myself feel better.{S}
 You say that I am the one who tries to be noticed, when it is you.{S}
 He has ignored your advances, hasn't he?{S}
 They also say that washing your feet in winter makes you catch cold in the head, but we all know that is not true.{S}
 You think my mother would let me go without telling me all the stories of her youth?{S}
 No little girl wants to hear about the Wilder men her mother took to her bed, using them till they were spent, then killing them.{S}
 No, you do not.{S}
 You really do not.{S}
 Tell me something I do not know.{S}
 Maybe we could get you in a nice dress one day.{S}
 We do not want to hide your features.{S}
 You do not think so?{S}
 And if it is cut low in the front, we must put your hair up, show off that lovely neck...{S}
 I would sooner let Alistair dress me.{S}
 We will get some shoes too! <desc>Gasps</desc> Shoes!{S}
 Do you have any tales of the Wilds?{S}
 Do you want tales of the Chasind Wilders who dwell in the marsh?{S}
 Do you want to hear of the slow deaths they inflict on their enemies?{S}
 Perhaps a tale of the poisonous creatures of the Wilds that lay their eggs on your skin so their young may eat you alive when hatched?{S}
 I do not want to hear about those things...{S}
 Then I have no tales for you.{S}
 Leliana, get this stupid beast out of here.{S}
 No, but if he is not careful I am going to start thinking about how delicious he looks.{S}
 Um, I will make sure Schmooples is never underfoot again.{S}
 You named a nug Schmooples?{S}
 The last thing we need around here is a walking snack named Schmooples!{S}
 Is something the matter?{S}
 You loved her, did not you?{S}
 I have seen you, some nights, staring off into the distance with such sadness in your eyes.{S}
 You wonder if you did something that drove her away; you wonder if she would have stayed if you had done things differently.{S}
 She must have loved you, somewhere inside...{S}
 That sodding great dew-licker had a heart clad in iron.{S}
 She had only one love--the Anvil.{S}
 Only sighed because I was gassy, and finally let off a good one. <desc>Inhales</desc> Should be hitting you right about now. <desc>Laughs</desc> Silent killer, eh?{S}
 How do you stand it?{S}
 All that open air?{S}
 I do not like looking up and seeing a great infinite <emp>nothing</emp>.{S}
 But the ceiling-sky covered the world in shadow, and so He set in it the sun and moon, to light up the world below.{S}
 And then He made the stars, and laid them down in curious patterns, that man would look upon them and wonder what they represented.{S}
 And it gave them comfort.{S}
 Then why the bleeding mud did your Maker build it so high up?{S}
 Do you miss the life you once had, Shale?{S}
 These centuries of memories you have lost?{S}
 Does it miss being within its mother's womb?{S}
 Do I...?{S}
 I do not remember that far back.{S}
 Faces who I have no names for.{S}
 Do I miss these things?{S}
 When you awake all the details have fled.{S}
 To discover your entire life has been a forgotten dream.{S}
 Why does the bard stare at me so?{S}
 It thinks my heart is made of gold?{S}
 I meant that you had... a good heart.{S}
 It seems to me that you do.{S}
 And they call this having a "heart of gold?"{S}
 My heart does not qualify as shiny.{S}
 You have had a difficult life.{S}
 Even though I have never demonstrated this aspect?{S}
 If so, it is because I ate him.{S}
 You sing a great deal.{S}
 Yes, I do.{S}
 I did not <emp>decide</emp> to live in Orlais.{S}
 My mother took me there with her.{S}
 I have heard you speaking with the others.{S}
 You find Ferelden unsophisticated, barely civilized.{S}
 You are painted to look like you are a Fereldan, but scratch the surface and find nothing but Orlais underneath.{S}
 My mother served her until she died and Lady Cecilie let me stay, instead of turning me out on the street.{S}
 You have the same poise, the same air of nobility.{S}
 I have met nobles who were petty and mean--complete degenerates.{S}
 It draws you to them, no matter who you are, or who they are.{S}
 I think the lowest peasant can have the most noble spirit and it will always shine through.{S}
 It is sometimes so hard to believe that you have been through so much, at such a young age.{S}
 When I was your age I was just about ready to take on my first apprentice.{S}
 In hindsight, perhaps I should have waited a few more years.{S}
 Oh, I have had some two decades or so to grow mellow.{S}
 I suppose there is some truth to that analogy but dear Maker, I do hate being compared to wine.{S}
 I do not really know what to say, but I feel like I need to say something.{S}
 I do not need sympathy, so do not feel obliged to give me comfort.{S}
 I do not know for sure.{S}
 The constant fear of death is enough to take the joy out of anything, especially life.{S}
 Do not worry for me, or for yourself.{S}
 Death will take us when it wills and till then, we shall live, truly live.{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 And... and all the brothers and sisters there, they had taken vows?{S}
 For two years you had no contact with anyone but men and women who... who are promised to some uncaring god?{S}
 What are you getting at?{S}
 Did not you... did not you desire companionship, during those two years?{S}
 The very thought makes me weak.{S}
 But like I said, most of the brothers and sisters had taken vows.{S}
 The Maker made us who we are.{S}
 He made our urges; He gave us these parts.{S}
 You think He made them for looks?{S}
 These markings of yours... they have a certain appeal.{S}
 They remind me of how we used to paint our faces in Orlais.{S}
 Do they mean anything to you?{S}
 Some do... some symbols are sacred to the Crows.{S}
 But I do not recall seeing many markings on your body.{S}
 We have many things in common, Zevran.{S}
 We both spent many years in places other than Ferelden.{S}
 I did not like it, but I did it anyway.{S}
 You did not like it?{S}
 You did not like the thrill of the hunt?{S}
 I did like that.{S}
 The killing just signals the end of the hunt.{S}
 Perhaps you are right; we have much in common.{S}
 Set a plot flag.{S}
 Who did you accept the second task from?{S}
 Remember the last time you had to drink blood?{S}
 I am just going to assume you have something amazing and tricky up your sleeve.{S}
 I know what I am doing.{S}
 I wish I had some sort of trout with which to knock some sense into you.{S}
 I have no use for indecisive fools.{S}
 I am doing it.{S}
 That puts you in a very advantageous position. main gauntlet temple cult haven{S}
 I have a question.{S}
 With Kolgrim on our side, we could make it through this entire ordeal with our necks intact.{S}
 I knew I would regret letting you go through with this.{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 Do you find Ferelden very strange?{S}
 To put it lightly.{S}
 No one has a place here.{S}
 Just once I would like to walk into one of these places and discover a lively dance, or a drinking festival.{S}
 Do not the qunari ever want to change their lot in life?{S}
 Get yourself to safety!{S}
 I am honored to be here; I have heard so much about your people.{S}
 We have Dalish up in Antiva City, though they are much more violent I hear.{S}
 Do not need any fancy heraldry for that.{S}
 It is wonderful to meet you.{S}
 What does that accomplish?{S}
 The farmer who buys a shop is never a merchant: He is always a farmer-turned-merchant.{S}
 He carries his old life with him as a turtle carries its shell.{S}
 But that makes the turtle stronger.{S}
 Nothing can be built upon it that will last.{S}
 Does it?{S}
 It is better to armor yourself with no more than what you need.{S}
 And if that were, indeed, his purpose, why did that mysterious source of meaning not make him so to begin with?{S}
 Select a flag to set.{S}
 By the holy, hairy rumps of the ancestors... that is something you do not see everyday.{S}
 152510 : 152513 : 152523 : You can learn to find it in doing your duty, in serving your people.{S}
 There is no need to search for it.{S}
 You do not think happiness is important?{S}
 What I would not give for that beast's head on my wall.{S}
 Or even a tooth to wear around my neck.{S}
 I am going to hold you to that.{S}
 You are just trying to shut me up.{S}
 You have no intention of helping a friend earn back his honor. , I see how it is.{S}
 No, no... do not try to apologize.{S}
 I promise we will come back when we are more prepared.{S}
 Let us do it!{S}
 Life is not a journey that ends with you arriving or not arriving at the proper destination.{S}
 Life is what you do.{S}
 How do you find your purpose if you do not look for it?{S}
 We spend our lives learning everything else, why not this?{S}
 Learning anything takes time and study.{S}
 How do you study life when you jump from point to point?{S}
 You have a thing... it does not have a word in the qunari tongue.{S}
 We have no such things in our lands.{S}
 We have none of those in my homeland.{S}
 I do not know what that means.{S}
 I will keep that in mind.{S}
 I never would have thought you would have a sweet tooth.{S}
 You did not take all the Ashes, did you?{S}
 Perhaps I shall journey there after we are done for some quiet contemplation.{S}
 What did you do on that mountain?{S}
 The Ashes of the Maker's Chosen.{S}
 I find that hard to believe.{S}
 Did you manage to bring them back?{S}
 No... why... why did you do this?{S}
 They were the remains of the Maker's Chosen, the most holy relic on Thedas... you can not have...{S}
 Your actions lately have left me... baffled.{S}
 I have had to stand by while you committed despicable acts, acts that I condemn with ever fibre of my being!{S}
 You think a half-hearted apology is going to make it better?{S}
 This is the end.{S}
 I want nothing to do with you, so I am leaving.{S}
 To do what?{S}
 Start being a decent person?{S}
 Give you a chance?{S}
 How naive do you think I am?{S}
 If you had any consideration for anyone other than yourself, you would not have done the things you did.{S}
 I weep for Ferelden; if all it has standing between it and the Blight is you, then we are all doomed.{S}
 So... nothing has changed since we last spoke, hmm?{S}
 You told me to give you a chance.{S}
 I should never have believed you.{S}
 I wish I had never met you.{S}
 What you have done, what you are doing... this is you.{S}
 They are in safe-keeping.{S}
 It does not concern you.{S}
 I do not have much, but here.{S}
 I have destroyed the Ashes.{S}
 I had my reasons, and I am sorry I have upset you.{S}
 Please give me a chance.{S}
 See if I care.{S}
 What are you going to do about it?{S}
 Do not forget it.{S}
 Well, I tried my best.{S}
 Lots of things have changed.{S}
 Dogs do not smell that bad.{S}
 Skunks do not mind the smell of other skunks, either.{S}
 I was trying to forget that part.{S}
 I did not bring a handkerchief.{S}
 In any case, I did not come to console weepy Grey Wardens.{S}
 You are not the first person to have said that, believe me.{S}
 All this sappy nonsense is going to make me throw up.{S}
 Ah, can not get enough of that religious claptrap.{S}
 Perhaps you should put your cleverness to better use and find a way to help Connor.{S}
 Just what we needed.{S}
 Do you want something?{S}
 I suppose I have a moment.{S}
 Did you want something?{S}
 Make it quick.{S}
 Done.{S}
 Why do you hate Orlais so much?{S}
 How well did you know King Maric?{S}
 What would you have done, if you would won?{S}
 He had always been a friend of us Couslands.{S}
 153036 : <desc>The fire pit smokes and possesses embers enough to build into a small flame.{S}

 I am done with the Circle.{S}
 Hate does not describe it.{S}
 Someone should do something.{S}
 No matter.{S}

 I saw good, sensible men fight armored chevaliers with nothing--no weapons, no armies, not even hope of success--to see the occupation end.{S}
 The translation of this plaque reads, "Our past is wrought with lost roads, mines, thaigs, and homes, consumed by the horrors of an endless war."{S}
 The words on this statue are too damaged to read.{S}
 The translation of this plaque reads, "The darkest path is filled with sorrows, yet I will stand the test."{S}
 On the side of the statue, someone has scraped the words, "Harrowmont is a dust-lover."{S}
 The translation of this plaque reads, "Sing praises to the Stone.{S}
 May her arms be ever open to us."{S}
 "The translation of this plaque reads, "Those who return to Orzammar's embrace, be sheltered."{S}
 It looks like the words on this plaque have been changed several times.{S}
 The translation reads, "Paragon Elahen died to lay these stones."{S}
 The words on this statue are too damaged to read.{S}
 From what you can make out, it seems this was a memorial to a child Paragon.{S}
 In my experience, religious people are inveterate liars. <emp>I</emp> do not even know that.{S}
 Why do I get the feeling charting routes to the Circle Tower is one of her favorite hobbies?{S}
 Child, you need a new pastime.{S}
 Says the Warrior Caste's biggest disgrace, who spends every hour soaking his beard in cheap ale.{S}
 But you haven't even been to the Tower yet, have you?{S}
 Do you think Alistair will make a good king?{S}
 Do you think Anora will make a good queen?{S}
 Take heart, good widow Filda.{S}
 We will do our best.{S}
 Do not get your hopes up.{S}
 We could search the Deep Roads for decades with no sight of the boy. <emp>Seek out Marjolaine</emp>{S}
 You were given directions to a house on the western side of Denerim's Market District, and Leliana wishes to stop by it if you are ever in the city.{S}
 Perhaps she will find some answers there.{S}
 Never mind <emp>Brave the traps and make your way to the Anvil</emp>{S}
 Branka has tricked you and locked you in a room full of traps.{S}
 It seems that Branka was unable to find a way past these traps, and wants you to do so for her.{S}
 Did you find my Ruck?{S}
 No, you found him, did not you?{S}
 Branka has died, lost to her obsession with the Anvil of the Void.{S}
 You will not believe me when I tell you this, but it does not matter.{S}
 Who did you crown king?{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 Caridin, the creator of the Anvil of the Void, has been destroyed.{S}
 Speak with Branka; she should be quite elated at having the Anvil all to herself at last.{S}
 I wanted to apologize for the things I may have said.{S}
 I know I was a little harsh, and I had no right to be.{S}
 And... whatever you choose, know that I will stand by you.{S}
 You know, I think I am glad that Alistair and you have found each other.{S}
 We do not choose who we love.{S}
 She made the first move, sending men to kill Leliana.{S}
 Marjolaine could not be allowed to hound Leliana, so you killed her.{S}
 If he would wanted to conquer the Fade, I would have led the charge.{S}
 How did you meet Maric?{S}
 What made Maric such a great king?{S}
 Why did not he acknowledge Alistair?{S}
 So, this is it... this is the end.{S}
 We have come so far.{S}
 It is strange knowing that all our fates will be decided in a matter of hours.{S}
 We go to fight for a good cause and there is nowhere else I would rather be.{S}
 You are my dearest friend and my love; you lit my path through darkness and I will stand with you, to whatever end.{S}
 You are a dear, dear friend, and I will stand with you, to whatever end.{S}
 No darkspawn, no archdemon, will ever take that from me.{S}
 I respect your decision to keep me here, even though I would have gladly stood by your side, even to the death.{S}
 You have been a true friend and I...{S}
 I will be extremely cross with you if you... do not return.{S}
 I will do whatever I can to help here.{S}
 I respect your decision to keep me safe and I thank you.{S}
 Only Grey Wardens are allowed to fight for their survival?{S}
 I have faith in you and I hope... no, I know, that you will deliver us from this Blight.{S}
 Just do not fail me.{S}
 You do not have to come if you do not want to.{S}
 Who did you complete the Second Task for?{S}
 Harrowmont () - for plot walkthroughs use the other character.{S}
 (September Release) Take me to Korcari Wilds.{S}
 (September Release) Take me to the King's Camp (Ostagar).{S}
 Did Branka Sacrifice herself?{S}
 Who did you side with at the anvil?{S}
 He was so dirty, you would have thought he would been dug up out of the ground.{S}
 Marjolaine mistakenly believed that Leliana's reason for emerging from the cloister was to exact revenge on her, and made the first move, sending men to kill her.{S}
 Leliana told Marjolaine to leave and to never come back, but Marjolaine does not seem to be finished.{S}
 I did not say that.{S}
 I knew I should not have trusted her.{S}
 You did not answer my question.{S}
 If it makes her happy--{S}
 To the first meeting with Vaughan.{S}
 How did you end it?{S}
 Made deal with Vaughan.{S}
 It is in our bones and our blood and we wear it on our skin.{S}
 You can think otherwise, but you will never get far without it.{S}
 It is a force of nature like rain or wind or faith: It simply exists, and we deal with its consequences.{S}
 You started a civil war for Ferelden?{S}
 What does that matter?{S}
 I did not want to start a war.{S}
 I made... a tactical error.{S}
 So I suppose my intentions do not amount to much.{S}
 Death does not end that.{S}
 In any case, there is no use discussing this.{S}
 We have much work left to do.{S}
 You should let it go.{S}
 How do you give up what is grown into you?{S}
 That does not justify what you did.{S}
 No, it does not.{S}
 It is not natural, and it does not have to exist.{S}
 Do you think the Maker abandoned us on a whim?{S}
 Why did we fight Orlais, do you know?{S}
 And why did they attack us?{S}
 Tell me again that war is something we bring upon ourselves.{S}
 No, no, do not be silly.{S}
 How did this all start!{S}
 Let me live vicariously through you, yes?{S}
 But this is your life and I have no right to judge.{S}
 You do not have to say that to make me happy.{S}
 Do not you get ideas.{S}
 I made... tactical errors, however.{S}
 What makes them so?{S}
 He nearly did.{S}
 Maric was never one to avoid his duty, and given his preference he would have acknowledged his son no matter the circumstance.{S}
 But he had more than his honor to think of.{S}
 It would have ruined Rowan, after all.{S}
 She would be reduced to a concubine in the eyes of our neighbors, and put Cailan's status as heir in question.{S}
 So Maric made the hard choice.{S}
 Eamon offered to raise the boy, and that was that.{S}
 She is dead, it does not matter.{S}
 But Cailan took a peasant's daughter as queen.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 This is a difficult position you are putting me in.{S}
 You can buy respect through birth or by bloodshed, I have found.{S}
 Do I have to spell it out?{S}
 Watch your jealousy, or you will give yourself wrinkles.{S}
 You should have known that when she made her appearance at the Landsmeet.{S}
 It may have worked, too.{S}
 Ah, Wynne... care to partake of Oghren's fine homebrew?{S}
 I may not know clean from a beggar's ass when it comes to most things, but I do not mess around with my ale.{S}
 Very well, let us have a taste.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 I am finding hard to place...{S}
 If I were not buckled into this armor, I would take you round the corner and... well, you know.{S}
 Give me more ale?{S}
 So, Wynne... how do you know so bleeding much about ale?{S}
 Have some tawdry tale of misspent youth to tell?{S}
 Maybe when all this is done I will chat up one or two of them quiet mages.{S}
 Here, I bought you a towel, a bar of soap and a razor while we were at the market.{S}
 Any warrior worth his salt keeps his beard!{S}
 That is what I keep telling Alistair.{S}
 It has stale food stuck in it!{S}
 Oh, so that is where that bit of herring got to.{S}
 Anyway, it keeps my face warm.{S}
 It does not have to be pretty.{S}
 Just take it.{S}
 Take it!{S}
 Why do you occasionally refer to Alistair as a "little pike-twirler?"{S}
 Has the little pike-twirler taken offence?{S}
 Blushed all the way down to his navel, then could not find his shirt.{S}
 I swear he is going to hurt himself one of these days, the way he works that thing.{S}
 I do not want to hear this anymore, do I?{S}
 I keep telling him, pikes are for sticking things at long range, aye?{S}
 I could give you a long, swishy tail, if you liked.{S}
 That is right, you just love attention, do not you?{S}
 He... he made off with my staff!{S}
 Wardogs need to be pretty too, do not they?{S}
 You do not believe?{S}
 I do, to some extent.{S}
 It does not govern my life, however.{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 I do what I do because I enjoy it; because I enjoy teaching others, helping them.{S}
 I do not seek recognition for my works.{S}
 I do not seek the approval of my peers, nor the approval of a distant god.{S}
 That is admirable, doing good for its own sake.{S}
 They bragged about what they did, trying to impress others.{S}
 You treated forty lepers, and gave them massages!"{S}
 Er, did Lady Clarabelle really give forty lepers massages?{S}
 Lady Clarabelle had strange tastes.{S}
 I would not be surprised if she did that, and more.{S}
 Do you miss the cloister much?{S}
 It was peaceful and it gave me a new start.{S}
 So it does not matter what your lips say as long as your heart is true.{S}
 But I came to the Maker before I had even heard all of the Chants.{S}
 The Maker speaks to people; they just do not know how to listen.{S}
 Ah, child, it is precisely this kind of talk that made them wary of you.{S}
 Most do not feel the same way.{S}
 Oh, what do they know?{S}
 The Maker gives you magic; you must use it.{S}
 You do it so effortlessly.{S}
 I wish I had such talent.{S}
 But you do.{S}
 You have your music, your dances.{S}
 You are more graceful than anyone I have ever met.{S}
 I think that perhaps the Maker gives us all magic... but of different sorts.{S}
 He does not really come from the Maker.{S}
 I suppose we all have our little gifts.{S}
 Anyway, Catarina had the most uncanny ability to tie knots in the stems of cherries, using only her tongue.{S}
 Uh, yes, that is exactly the sort of Maker-given magic I was talking about.{S}
 I have a friend back in Antiva who would be very excited to meet you.{S}
 He says they have more substance, are more robust and flavorful.{S}
 Does he now?{S}
 No need to deny it, Zevran knows a fine bird when he sees one.{S}
 This is to save you the pain of having your brain forcibly removed through your ears.{S}
 You know, I have heard stories about your Circle of the Magi, my dear Wynne.{S}
 Met a beautiful young apprentice who was very eager for a taste of the outside world...{S}
 Please, get to the point.{S}
 All I wonder is whether the templars guard the mages here as closely as they do in Antiva.{S}
 And is it also true that when the moon swells to fullness, the mages of the Circle gather at the top floor of their tower and, naked under the stars, make love to each other?{S}
 I found out recently that it was not true in Antiva and hoped that it would be in Ferelden.{S}
 Yes, you are. ... but what does it feel like being possessed by a spirit?{S}
 Why does this interest you so?{S}
 I simply wish to get to know those that I travel with.{S}
 Well... let me see.{S}
 It is like being held close, cradled... the bond is so complete that I am unable to extricate myself, nor do I wish to.{S}
 Wait... why do you have that look on your face?{S}
 Continue, please.{S}
 No, I do not want to know.{S}
 Do not speak to me.{S}
 You do not approve of me, do you?{S}
 You have to ask?{S}
 I did not realize I was being subtle.{S}
 Ah, the old cat still has her claws, I see.{S}
 And you also do not approve of my involvement with our stalwart Grey Warden.{S}
 It is a pity he does not know any better.{S}
 Why, Wynne, I do believe that is the first time you have ever offered a compliment.{S}
 Only you would take that as a compliment.{S}
 You have a barbed tongue, Morrigan.{S}
 Why do you treat others in this way?{S}
 I owe you no explanation.{S}
 Do not bring up our companions, when all you wish is for me to be civil to <emp>you</emp>.{S}
 Take your lectures elsewhere.{S}
 Have you given thought to, perhaps, prolonging your life by forcing another spirit into your service?{S}
 When the end comes, I will go gladly to my rest, proud of my achievements.{S}
 You will realize that because you never had love for others, you never received love in return.{S}
 I need no one to mourn me, old woman.{S}
 I once had a <emp>very</emp> large cat.{S}
 So what guidance did you find in those swaying hips, hmm?{S}
 Alistair, may I have a word?{S}
 Joined at the hip, almost.{S}
 That is a bit of an overstatement, do not you think?{S}
 I know the Chantry says you dream about your babies and the good Fade spirits take them out of the Fade and leave them in your arms... ...but that is not true.{S}
 Do you?{S}
 Do you really?{S}
 You did that on purpose!{S}
 Now, now Alistair, why would I do such a thing?{S}
 I think you make her very happy.{S}
 I am glad you found each other.{S}
 Oh, yes, I bet you are, indeed.{S}
 No making me blush?{S}
 How did it find its way to my bedroll?{S}
 It has your name stitched on it.{S}
 The men were... always getting their socks mixed up.{S}
 I will take it from you right now.{S}
 You are going to put it on?{S}
 What hideous habits you have picked up.{S}
 Did you speak often with Cailan?{S}
 You are asking me if I have a relationship with my "brother", are not you?{S}
 I do not think he cared much about my existence.{S}
 I did not mean anything to him.{S}
 Maric and Cailan had come to Redcliffe to visit the arl.{S}
 My shirt has a hole in it.{S}
 When we get back to camp?{S}
 Why do I have to do it?{S}
 Sometimes I pick up too much fabric and it ends up all puckered and the entire garment hangs wrong afterward.{S}
 Grandmothers do that sort of thing, do not they?{S}
 You do not want me to have to fight darkspawn in a shirt with a hole, do you?{S}
 It might get bigger.{S}
 I will mend your shirt the next time we set up camp.{S}
 And while you are at it, the elbows kind of need patching too...{S}
 You will make it worse.{S}
 Do not touch it.{S}
 Alistair, if you open that wound up, I am not going to heal it again.{S}
 You can just treat it yourself.{S}
 And if it festers, weeping bloody pus and burns like the flames of Andraste's pyre, do not come to me.{S}
 All I am going to say is: "Alistair, did not I tell you not to touch it?"{S}
 Why do not you try scratching and see?{S}
 I... uh, I guess it does not itch so much now.{S}
 Shale, why do you refer to me as the "elder mage?"{S}
 I have a name.{S}
 We all do.{S}
 Even though Morrigan is a "swamp witch," as you call her, maybe she would prefer being referred to by her name.{S}
 I have no doubt that is so.{S}
 I have found that I am allowed precious few amusements.{S}
 But could you at least use a different adjective?{S}
 I do not wish my age to be my defining characteristic.{S}
 Oh, I give up.{S}
 Have you given any thought to your future, Shale?{S}
 I was thinking I might, oh, join the Chantry.{S}
 And have giant Andraste golems fashioned to conquer the lands!{S}
 What will you do then?{S}
 I had not given it much thought.{S}
 Has the elder mage ever encountered another golem?{S}
 I suppose there used to be one deactivated one stored in the tower's vault.{S}
 Did it crush some arrogant mage's head after one too many commands?{S}
 I do not know, Shale.{S}
 Perhaps someone bought it so it would guard the tower.{S}
 Its people do enjoy their slaves, do not they?{S}
 I have thought about what you said before, Shale.{S}
 It is profitable, so I am led to believe.{S}
 And it is no more right to make a slave out of a golem.{S}
 I think... no one understood how golems were made, Shale.{S}
 Perhaps we should have suspected, but no one knew.{S}
 When this is over, I will make certain that the Circle of Magi knows the truth.{S}
 Your people should not be treated as objects. <desc>Laughs</desc> I have no people.{S}
 It almost wishes it had a control rod, no? <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Why do you keep looking at me like that, mage?{S}
 I have seen you eyeing me, Wynne.{S}
 Trying to watch for the moment when I turn on you?{S}
 Is not that what you do?{S}
 You have made your point.{S}
 I do not trust you, Loghain.{S}
 I have become a Grey Warden.{S}
 I have made promises.{S}
 That does not give me much reassurance.{S}
 Did she have many friends?{S}
 It took you this long to determine that?{S}
 Well, I am sure having you come to her rescue gave Anora no small amount of pleasure.{S}
 I had no idea who he was.{S}
 He gave me a made-up name, told me he was fleeing Orlesians.{S}
 I know a bard would make it out to be better, but it is not a story to me.{S}
 I did not find out who he was for a while, though.{S}
 I have gone on too long as it is.{S}
 But I have rattled on for too long, already.{S}
 We should get moving.{S}
 Kings do not get the luxury of escaping politics.{S}
 What do you think would have become of Alistair, if Maric had claimed him?{S}
 But we have been idle long enough.{S}
 We should get moving.{S}
 He would have been the bastard prince, and a continual reminder to Rowan of Maric's infidelity.{S}
 At least with Eamon, Alistair had a childhood.{S}
 Let us get what we came for and head back to Duncan.{S}
 We need to get down to the Wilds.{S}
 The sooner you get this done, the better.{S}
 They will do all right, I suppose.{S}
 She has been for five years now.{S}
 Once the border was secure, the army would have regrouped to push back the darkspawn in the south.{S}
 You have our gratitude for supporting the great Prince Bhelen.{S}
 Maric had no brothers or sisters.{S}
 Most of the Theirins were publicly hung by Meghren, when he took power.{S}
 Harrowmont may have taken out some trash, but he does not have the guts to follow up.{S}
 You must be quaking in your slippers now the prince is done with Jarvia.{S}
 Bhelen never has been able to tell the difference between a brand and a lord.{S}
 Uh... maybe we should continue this later.{S}
 Then I guess we will have to teach you a lesson, too! <act>Keep listening.</act> <Act>Assist Harrowmont's men</Act>{S}
 I am a Grey Warden and I am about ready to teach you a lesson.{S}
 I do not think Prince Bhelen wants fighting in the streets.{S}
 Harrowmont would not want to see this fighting in his name.{S}
 That is what the Chantry kept telling me, anyhow.{S}
 I really haven't given it a lot of thought, to be honest.{S}
 Do not be an idiot.{S}
 I should get back to work.{S}
 Murdock's sending a dwarf to do his begging for him?{S}
 Hoping I will get all misty-eyed with thoughts of home?{S}
 It is been a while since I have seen a dwarf lass as pretty as you, I will give you that.{S}
 I have to admit, you have a better chance than most.{S}
 At least another dwarf is likely to have a few rocks to rub together between their ears.{S}
 What do you have in mind, then?{S}
 Let us hear it.{S}
 I will put in a good word for you back in Orzammar.{S}
 You have a highborn look about you.{S}
 Up here on the surface you will find we are all the same.{S}
 Your Majesty, I am not certain the Blight can be ended quite as... quickly as you might wish.{S}
 I did not realize things were going so well.{S}
 I had a bad feeling about this entire expedition and I am glad to see you back.{S}
 I was sadly mistaken, and I regret ever fighting for your cause.{S}
 I hope the darkspawn take you.{S}
 I have thought about it carefully and I am beginning to regret leaving the Circle for... all this.{S}
 Let me be honest: I think our attitudes are incompatible.{S}
 There are things you have done and said that I am simply unable to tolerate.{S}
 You are rude, you do not listen, and you seem to lack respect for anyone other than yourself.{S}
 I think I should leave before it gets worse.{S}
 I suppose I could give you another chance.{S}
 Perhaps we could both try to get along a bit better.{S}
 You have never let me forget that you do not need anyone, so forgive me if what you just said carries no weight.{S}
 Goodbye, and good luck in whatever you do.{S}
 I still need you by my side.{S}
 It will not get worse, I promise.{S}
 Do not go; we need you.{S}
 I was getting sick of you too.{S}
 Adventure getting to be too much?{S}
 You can not abandon me now.{S}
 Did you think you would be able to hide what you did from the rest of us?{S}
 You care so little about your fellow men that you would destroy the one thing that could give them hope?{S}
 What I did is none of your business.{S}
 I do not know what you are talking about.{S}
 I do what I do for the good of us all.{S}
 There are so many elves running about, and I have been waiting for... it is simply been so hectic!{S}
 Did you... come for some supplies, perhaps?{S}
 Did you... come for some supplies, perhaps?{S}
 Have you seen an elf running about?{S}
 Carrying a suit of chain?{S}
 Perhaps you should treat your servants more kindly.{S}
 Do you talk to everyone like that?{S}
 Got tired of stirring up trouble?{S}
 All that we have been through has led up to this.{S}
 Whatever happens now... to either of us, know that I am proud--infinitely proud--to have called you friend.{S}
 I think I owe you an explanation for what happened earlier.{S}
 You spoke to Petra, did you not?{S}
 I... did, but I did not survive that encounter.{S}
 It took everything I had to defeat it, and when I was done I no longer had the strength to keep my heart beating.{S}
 I was being... held back, firmly, but gently, as a mother would a child eager to slip from her grasp.{S}
 I began to be aware of small sounds, and the discomfort of my hip pressing into the cold stone of the tower floor.{S}
 The benevolent spirits seldom make themselves known, because they want nothing from mortals, unlike the demons.{S}
 And it has not left me.{S}
 It is the spirit that is keeping me in this world, and this is not the way of things.{S}
 Perhaps the spirit did not expect this but it is weakening, gradually.{S}
 I did not know if you were ready to hear it.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I can feel when the spirit weakens, so I should have fair warning.{S}
 But come, let us not talk about this.{S}
 Do with that information what you will.{S}
 Let me explain fully.{S}
 Let me explain.{S}
 It would have killed her had I not intervened.{S}
 I saved her life that day, but I did not survive that encounter with the demon.{S}
 Yes, you had me quite worried.{S}
 I can not believe you kept this from me.{S}
 Then we will make the best of that time.{S}
 This case of death is taking a while to kick in then.{S}
 That you do indeed.{S}
 Make it quick.{S}
 Aneirin has long since forgiven Wynne for her harsh treatment of him.{S}
 You do not want to go into the Tower of Ishal.{S}
 It is off-limits for now, I am afraid. <emp>Help Wynne find closure</emp>{S}
 Wynne spoke to you about the first pupil she took under her wing, an elf named Aneirin.{S}
 Aneirin spoke often of the Dalish elves and dreamed of finding them.{S}
 However, Wynne believes that he never managed to find them, and that he was hunted down and killed by the templars.{S}
 You do?{S}
 As the name suggests, my existence is quite peaceful.{S}
 Do you need assistance?{S}
 They claim it leads to sin.{S}
 Because the ancient Tevinter Imperium was ruled by mages.{S}
 It makes no difference to me.{S}
 Are we done, then?{S}
 After all this trouble, it seems like such a small thing to give up to see this land safe, does not it?{S}
 I suppose you have never been a soldier.{S}
 You pay it and pray that the outcome is worthwhile.{S}
 Perhaps you can do this, after all.{S}
 You think so, do you?{S}
 I could never do that.{S}
 It is easy to die for your cause.{S}
 Sometimes men do it without even knowing.{S}
 You will have to.{S}
 You are commanding the armies you have raised, are not you?{S}
 There has to be a better way to end this.{S}
 If Riordan can not, I will be the one to make the sacrifice.{S}
 Do we refuse to accept this solution because it does not suit us?{S}
 What does your Antivan think of that?{S}
 I did not think of it that way.{S}
 We are preparing for battle.{S}
 What do I have a general for, then?{S}
 Well you would better start, then.{S}
 How can you possibly do both?{S}
 Well, I only have to do this once.{S}
 Oh, everyone has a strategy for dealing with it.{S}
 Most of the generals I have known took to drink.{S}
 Some took to religion.{S}
 It is a matter of personal choice, I suppose.{S}
 What do you do?{S}
 Drink does not sound half bad right now.{S}
 You do not need my advice.{S}
 You just do.{S}
 There is no use trying to cope with what hasn't happened yet.{S}
 If anyone should make this sacrifice, it ought to be me.{S}
 Maker knows, I have enough to atone for.{S}
 I suppose we are not going to get another try if you fail, certainly.{S}
 This army was built from nothing by you.{S}
 I have wondered that myself, from time to time.{S}
 And if I make mistakes, what then?{S}
 You had better learn to accept the consequences.{S}
 To command an army, you have to be close enough to your men to know what you are risking, and still think of them as tools that might need to be thrown away.{S}
 You will deal with the results just like everyone else.{S}
 If I were a wise man, I would not have made the mistakes that brought me here.{S}
 You do well enough on your own.{S}
 Just any words of wisdom you have for me.{S}
 You will have to wait until we have some reports from the scouts.{S}
 What does she think of this?{S}
 It is the one I would make, myself.{S}
 You have a life.{S}
 Do not be in a hurry to give it up.{S}
 If you have business with the Ash Warriors, I suggest you speak to our commander.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 I am sure she will find a way to turn it to her political advantage.{S}
 She has been a soldier's daughter all her life, after all.{S}
 There is, however, no use worrying about what may be.{S}
 We will have to wait and see what comes.{S}
 You had your doubts?{S}
 Do not mind me.{S}
 It hardly matters now.{S}
 I have certainly been mistaken about you before.{S}
 If you did not already expect that, I have no idea what to say to you.{S}
 The village by our keep was never even as big as Redcliffe.{S}
 But Anora never joined them.{S}
 Did she have friends there?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Why would Maric give you a teyrnir in the middle of nowhere?{S}
 He was a bit younger than she was, but Anora would lead him about the palace like a puppy on a leash, deep in adventures together.{S}
 She read a great deal.{S}
 I am sorry, but there is so much to do before the battle!{S}
 I must attend to my duties or I will get the switch!{S}
 I have a dozen things to fetch and no time at all!{S}
 Well met, Grey Warden.{S}
 Well, she did double-cross me.{S}
 Well, she did double-cross you.{S}
 Well met, Grey Warden.{S}
 Who did you accept Task 3 from?{S}
 So I have heard.{S}
 It is good to have you with us.{S}
 We understand one another, as much as any father and daughter ever do.{S}
 She already told you why, you just did not care for the answer: politics.{S}
 With Teyrn Loghain commanding the king's forces, we will surely have a decisive victory.{S}
 We have work to do.{S}
 You will find us there, should you need to.{S}
 I do not wish to speak.{S}
 Not before the battle begins.{S}
 That is a fine mabari hound you have.{S}
 Our time before battle is spent painting our hounds with kaddis, in preparation.{S}
 Please do not disturb our hounds.{S}
 I did not know elves could join the Grey Wardens.{S}
 You are very lucky to have such an opportunity.{S}
 I have urgent duties, sorry.{S}
 Tell me if you need anything, friend, and I will try to get it.{S}
 Do not try the stew.{S}
 I have a great many tasks to attend to.{S}
 Did you... need something?{S}
 I have to clean this, sorry.{S}
 It is good to have Grey Wardens amongst us.{S}
 They say the darkspawn horde has grown larger.{S}
 Why do the darkspawn not parley with the king?{S}
 Well done, and well met.{S}
 Well met, my lady.{S}
 Well met, my lord.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain may not think much of the Grey Wardens, but the king was wise to bring you here.{S}
 We are fortunate to have the teyrn with us.{S}
 Frankly, I doubt we will need them after tomorrow.{S}
 I hope the Grey Wardens protect the king in the coming battle--he chose to fight alongside them.{S}
 There are too many things requiring our attention to waste time wondering what might have been.{S}
 I imagine you have made up your mind on the answer to that question already.{S}
 I can not even imagine what brought that subject up.{S}
 Hate really does not describe it.{S}
 Let us just leave it at that.{S}
 We ought to get moving.{S}
 Congratulations on being named commander, my lord.{S}
 Get out of the way, you lazy slugs!{S}
 Can not you see we have an important guest?{S}
 These fools do not know how to behave in front of a great person like yourself.{S}
 Is there something I can get for you?{S}
 They are holding a feast in your honor, are not they?{S}
 You do not think Alistair can manage on his own?{S}
 Then why did not you want him to take power?{S}
 Might I offer you a bit of advice, my good friend Alistair?{S}
 It has to do with your recent... exertions with your fellow Grey Warden that I overheard.{S}
 It did seem as if you just got going when all grew quiet.{S}
 Did I hit my head?{S}
 I have some roots from home that you may chew if you need energy.{S}
 As for volume, perhaps you ought to try arching your--{S}
 You know, Alistair, Antiva has a long tradition of royal bastards.{S}
 You do not say?{S}
 They have led wars to claim the throne.{S}
 Some of them have become kings.{S}
 Let me guess: they get assassinated?{S}
 Well, they get by somehow, I am sure.{S}
 There was one fellow who did quite well working as a prostitute based on his uncanny resemblance to the king.{S}
 Could not afford him, I take it?{S}
 That cynicism will serve you well, my friend.{S}
 Hold onto it.{S}
 I believe I heard you say you were raised in an abbey?{S}
 I was raised in a castle.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Not in your line of work, I expect.{S}
 Why do you say that?{S}
 And I ask forgiveness for my sins from the Maker every chance I get.{S}
 What manner of monster do you think I am?{S}
 The Maker has never objected.{S}
 I... have no idea.{S}
 So I have a question for you, Zevran.{S}
 You are here, at least in part, to get away from the Crows, right?{S}
 So when this is over, what do you intend to do with yourself?{S}
 What I do depends in large part upon your fellow Grey Warden.{S}
 I am not a free man, as it were.{S}
 Yes, yes, but what if you could do whatever you wanted?{S}
 So you do intend to go back to the Crows?{S}
 Why do not I believe you?{S}
 Oh, I do not know.{S}
 Perhaps you have people you need killed?{S}
 I probably do, yes.{S}
 It is that sort of thinking that makes me think I have a future in this fine country of yours.{S}
 They make for good business, as the client or the target.{S}
 Have you no thought to supporting the employment of your subjects?{S}
 Not for assassins I do not.{S}
 What makes you think I intend to go anywhere?{S}
 Starting with the fact that you were not exactly the best they had, were you?{S}
 You are no raw recruit, but I have seen you fight.{S}
 But the Crows must have master assassins, the way you describe them.{S}
 Oh, I get it.{S}
 You did not answer my question.{S}
 If you must know, the masters do not often take contracts outside Antiva.{S}
 And I made the best bid.{S}
 We agree to pay the guild a portion of whatever the contract offers.{S}
 The one who agrees to pay the most gets the contract, so long as the guild deems them worthy.{S}
 Against a pair of Grey Warden recruits?{S}
 It made the guild's decision considerably easier, I imagine.{S}
 We have dogs in Antiva.{S}
 They run in the streets and eat garbage. <desc>Curious whine</desc>{S}
 They are treated as vermin, mostly.{S}
 Here they make statues of dogs.{S}
 They carve you into their thrones and put armor on you.{S}
 Not that I like to make accusations.{S}
 I will take that as an apology.{S}
 It really is quite something to find such enthusiasm in one's companions. <desc>Ecstatic bark!</desc>{S}
 Oh, I can think of many other things that we could do other than sleep.{S}
 Then let us see what is in those trousers.{S}
 I like to make informed decisions, after all.{S}
 You really have changed!{S}
 I do not see those trousers coming down, however, do I?{S}
 There are rumors about you elves and I intend to see them proved untrue before I even consider a tumble.{S}
 On second thought, perhaps you have traveled to an awkward place where I dare not follow...{S}
 So I imagine it has been some time for you, Leliana.{S}
 I do not know what you mean.{S}
 You did just come from the cloistered life, no?{S}
 Of course it has been some time.{S}
 I simply mean that the body has urges, urges given to us by the Maker.{S}
 I simply offer my services should you ever feel the need for... release.{S}
 Let it never be said that I am not available when the call for help goes out.{S}
 Perhaps I should speak to the Grey Warden for advice on whether or not I should accept your offer?{S}
 Let me think about it, then.{S}
 Should every man in Ferelden suddenly die, you may even have your chance.{S}
 So what is it, exactly, that the sisters of the Chantry do for amusement?{S}
 Do they not have sisters in Antiva, Zevran?{S}
 They are "atiya nagrano"... how do you say it?{S}
 You really have no idea, do you?{S}
 Sisters... we had many ways to pass the time.{S}
 Work, for instance.{S}
 What did you imagine your Antivan sisters did, exactly?{S}
 Well, in Antiva the chantries make much of the wine, so I suppose I assumed they... drank it?{S}
 You will make fun of me.{S}
 No-oooo, why would I ever do such a thing?{S}
 I... why do you even wish to know?{S}
 Why, to make fun of you, of course.{S}
 You have told the Grey Wardens of your vision, have you not?{S}
 You said that you intended to make fun of me.{S}
 I honestly do not wish to tell you.{S}
 Then I suspect you do not even believe in your own vision.{S}
 I do believe in it!{S}
 Then you would stand by it, no matter what the consequences.{S}
 Do you intend to make fun of me?{S}
 You do not say.{S}
 Do you intend to take your mother's place, now?{S}
 Take her place?{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 When one slays the queen, it is assumed they will take her throne.{S}
 So you did not know what your mother planned until you read it in that book, that is what you said.{S}
 And you are a fool who spends far too much time on his hair.{S}
 I do not think you a fool, my lovely woman.{S}
 I know what you are doing.{S}
 I know what you are doing, lovely woman.{S}
 And what is it that you think I am doing?{S}
 Why do not you ask him, if you are so curious.{S}
 Then do not bring it up again.{S}
 Anyone can claim a name, after all.{S}
 You are welcome to ask her, if you ever meet her.{S}
 You assassin types have a death wish, I see. <desc>Laughs</desc> Only the really good ones.{S}
 So if the legend of your mother is true, Morrigan, does that mean that the legends of her many daughters are as well?{S}
 To be honest, I have no idea.{S}
 I have never met any sister of mine, nor has my mother spoken of any.{S}
 If you exist, there could have been others like you.{S}
 We have legends of witches in Antiva.{S}
 You do not appreciate a little competition from a half-sister or two?{S}
 Such sinister glares do you a disservice, dear Morrigan.{S}
 Do tell.{S}
 Has no one told you?{S}
 Perhaps that is not surprising, considering you have lived such a sheltered life.{S}
 I know as much of men as I need to.{S}
 Tell me, does this work on other women?{S}
 Do you not?{S}
 Ah, one day you will realize that you have wasted you youth and beauty on bitterness and suspicion, mark my words.{S}
 Remind me to bring you along if we go sailing.{S}
 The hot air will prove useful.{S}
 Has anyone told you what marvelous eyes you possess, my dear?{S}
 Do you not tire from these pointless exercises?{S}
 They do not find that incredibly annoying?{S}
 I have no wish to be placed upon a pedestal.{S}
 So I owe you a flagon.{S}
 You win the bet fair and square.{S}
 I think you owe me five silvers, yes?{S}
 You can not have any.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 Now you are beginning to sound like Branka.{S}
 Well, she must have been a dwarf with astoundingly clean feet.{S}
 You never did answer my question about that filth you so enjoy.{S}
 That is right, I did not.{S}
 Nobody sells the good stuff.{S}
 Then are you making it?{S}
 I do not see a still at the camp....{S}
 Where has that perverted elven mind of yours gone?{S}
 Suddenly I am not so interested in trying a sample...{S}
 Tables are out of reach.{S}
 Using the toilet facilities alone must be a lesson in humility.{S}
 After all that gloom of Orzammar and the Deep Roads, it is a wonder you do not wander about squinting in pain.{S}
 It is bright, I will give you that.{S}
 Not to have a roof over your head!{S}
 You must constantly fear that you will fall up into that vast, endlessly open sky!{S}
 I just do not understand you elves.{S}
 They... what did they do?{S}
 Well, I just do not understand.{S}
 Why do not you just... kill 'em all?{S}
 There is a hundred humans for every dwarf, too, but you do not see us bending over an' getting our pipes cleaned, do you?{S}
 You would think you elves would have learned to duck.{S}
 I think I have a joke for you, my fine dwarven friend.{S}
 Just do not expect me to laugh.{S}
 So a human, an elf, and a dwarf are walking down a trail beside a stream, and they stop to take a piss.{S}
 Continue.{S}
 After, the human takes out some soap and begins washing his hands.{S}
 "We humans have learned how to be clean and hygienic," he says to the others.{S}
 The elf begins picking some leaves off the trees and wipes his hands with them.{S}
 "We elves do as tradition has taught us and use what nature has provided."{S}
 The dwarf, meanwhile, has pulled up his trousers and is already on his way down the trail.{S}
 "And our ancestors," he calls back, "taught us dwarves not to piss on our hands!" <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 You just decided that, did you?{S}
 Well, I have watched you fight.{S}
 Do not get excited or nothin'.{S}
 I have a question for you, Shale.{S}
 How does it feel to be a giant statue?{S}
 Well, let us see... does it hurt?{S}
 Do you feel like you have been buried under a pile of rock?{S}
 Or do you feel nothing at all?{S}
 I have nothing to compare it to.{S}
 How does it feel to be considered an inferior race when compared to others who are just as soft and weak as you?{S}
 One touch and its kind crumples, spilling liquid everywhere.{S}
 It takes more than just a touch, I am sure...{S}
 I have thought about your predicament, my friend.{S}
 It has thought of a way to lure birds out of the sky?{S}
 I mean your situation... being made of stone and such.{S}
 Surely this must bring you discomfort, knowing you can never partake in such pleasures.{S}
 It was bad enough that I had to suffer the occasional pair of villagers lying in my shade, but the idea of <emp>partaking</emp>? <emp>Gah</emp>!{S}
 You do us a great honor by suffering in silence.{S}
 So tell me, Shale... if you had the opportunity to become flesh, would you take it?{S}
 It does seem rather preoccupied with this topic.{S}
 Would you choose to live?{S}
 Would I also get to age and bleed and become sick and die?{S}
 I have no need of such frailties.{S}
 Life does not begin and end with yourself.{S}
 I... have no desire to produce offspring.{S}
 But while you do not suffer the lows of life, you also do not experience the highs.{S}
 Well, I have heard that the qunari actually put the elves in charge?{S}
 Why do you call yourselves "Crows"?{S}
 You seem to have quite the disdainful attitude towards elves, my qunari friend.{S}
 Joke if you wish, but I have the feeling that deep down you regret the life you have lived.{S}
 I am terrible and it makes me sad.{S}
 Did I tell you I was an orphan?{S}
 I give up.{S}
 Have you changed your mind, yet?{S}
 No, I do not wish to speak of my bosom.{S}
 I have seen women half your age who have not held up half so well.{S}
 I do.{S}
 We could do that.{S}
 There have been many bosoms in my past, though only few as fine as yours.{S}
 I am ending this conversation.{S}
 You have not asked me about my conscience for some time, my darling Wynne.{S}
 And what would you do with me if you had me, hm?{S}
 This is a game you play, nothing more.{S}
 So let us pretend that I do, indeed, believe that murder is wrong.{S}
 We are not having this conversation.{S}
 Were I to believe such a thing, what would I do with it?{S}
 But you could change what you do in the future. <desc>Sigh</desc> What would that require, exactly?{S}
 It seems to me that feeling guilty would take up a great deal of my time as it is.{S}
 One for every life you have taken.{S}
 Perhaps I could do one or the other?{S}
 You either know right from wrong or you do not.{S}
 How is it that you do not feel guilty?{S}
 I feel guilty for having ever spoken to you.{S}
 Then why did you take power from her?{S}
 She can not take all the credit.{S}
 He had no education in governing, politics, or diplomacy.{S}
 And though I know you do not wish to hear this, he does not strike me as a talented amateur.{S}
 Doing all right is not the same as doing well.{S}
 I was trying to be polite.{S}
 Your friend may get good advice from Eamon, but he is weak.{S}
 The first chance they get, they will pry concessions out of him.{S}
 They will pick at the throne until it is only a gilded chair with no power or authority at all.{S}
 Do not you think that is a little pessimistic?{S}
 What would Anora do differently?{S}
 Why would Eamon support Alistair's bid for the throne, then?{S}
 Anora, as you may have already noticed, is clever enough to manipulate the banns.{S}
 She can make alliances and play them against one another to get what she wants.{S}
 Let us talk about something else.{S}
 I think they used it once to watch for Wilders coming out of the forest.{S}
 The tower is being secured by his men to be used during battle.{S}
 I am told they discovered some lower chambers, and they do not know how far down they go.{S}
 I did not see anything like that when I was there, but who knows?{S}
 Dwarven make.{S}
 We should probably get moving.{S}
 And if there had been any other heir, Eamon would never have suggested the boy.{S}
 I do not think Eamon is that petty.{S}
 Does not that make Anora nobly born?{S}
 You might want to wonder, then, how a blood mage ended up employed by his household.{S}
 And he allowed it to be hushed up so the boy could remain heir.{S}
 Better that than allow the arling to go to his childless younger brother, only to pass out of the hands of the Guerrin family altogether.{S}
 Whatever she might think, I never took power from Anora.{S}
 She may have felt threatened, but I most pointedly did not remove her from the throne.{S}
 What are we supposed to do?{S}
 There was nothing we could do!{S}
 I do not care about who is king or who is not... we need to stop these darkspawn before they get here!{S}
 Please, can not you do something to help us?{S}
 Take pity!{S}
 Cailan wore the crown very well, but he was never the one guiding the country.{S}
 Now what are we supposed to do?{S}
 We came here hoping to find somewhere safe!{S}
 I had relatives here.{S}
 But their home is empty and I do not even know what happened to them.{S}
 I... do not think we can stay here.{S}
 We have nothing.{S}
 The soldiers took what we had, and now we are left without a home or anything to eat...{S}
 Why did everybody die?{S}
 I hope the monsters do not come.{S}
 I do not like monsters.{S}
 There is no point trying to steal anything from me.{S}
 I have already been robbed three times on the road.{S}
 I have been robbed by soldiers claiming to work for the new king as well as those fighting him.{S}
 Some claiming to work for the new king, others claiming to be fighting him.{S}
 What scraps the soldiers did not want, plus what little I have been able to salvage from the village once I got here.{S}
 I had my own shop in Lothering before the darkspawn forced me to flee.{S}
 And now this war starts, and I have lost everything.{S}
 Maybe I can start a new shop, if Redcliffe ever rebuilds.{S}
 If this war ends, and if... if the darkspawn do not overrun us all...{S}
 Fat lot of good you all did.{S}
 Got the king killed, and now the darkspawn are going to overrun everything.{S}
 Are not you Grey Wardens around to deal with that sort of thing?{S}
 I am not trying to rob you.{S}
 You look like you have got plenty in the wagon.{S}
 Nothing we can do about usurpers, I am afraid.{S}
 You will keep your tongue silent or lose it.{S}
 I am working on it, trust me.{S}
 I am going to try and do what salvage I can.{S}
 Maybe... maybe there is something valuable that hasn't already been taken...{S}
 I suppose you have a good point there.{S}
 Suppose you did not start the war... but it certainly do not look as if anyone's stopping it anytime soon.{S}
 With any luck the darkspawn will not overrun this place anytime soon, and maybe... maybe I will start a new shop.{S}
 Does not seem like anyone's working on anything except making more trouble.{S}
 Finding Redcliffe dead like this... that was the last straw.{S}
 We can only do so much by ourselves.{S}
 But she will do well.{S}
 I have to say that, anyway, for if word gets back to her that I said otherwise, she will be furious.{S}
 You do not want to get too close to the bodies.{S}
 You might get sick, or worse.{S}
 It is terrible how we need to burn all the bodies without having proper funerals.{S}
 There will be a lot more of it before all this is over, I bet.{S}
 Begging your pardon, we have a lot more bodies to burn before we can turn in.{S}
 We have to do this before rot sets in, you know.{S}
 Best keep back.{S}
 This is unpleasant work, it is.{S}
 All these poor souls dead, and it were not even the Blight that did them in.{S}
 Bann Teagan sent me from the castle to keep watch on the village... or what is left of it.{S}
 I am here to keep out the scavengers, or at least the worst of them.{S}
 Not sure why Bann Teagan wants me to keep order... there is nothing to salvage here anymore, really, is there?{S}
 You do that, then.{S}
 Where would I find these people?{S}
 Being tough does not make her wise.{S}
 They always have before.{S}
 Few among the nobles have ever been under any illusions as to who really held power in Denerim.{S}
 We only get that way by enduring.{S}
 Daft old drunk... who knows what is got him jumping.{S}
 Fate has a twisted sense of humor, it seems.{S}
 More so since I survived your ritual: you keep striking at me, and I just refuse to die decently.{S}
 I do not think you are a monster.{S}
 I may have to resort to magic next.{S}
 I was hoping you would die in the Joining.{S}
 It seems to me that magic has already failed.{S}
 Less impressive, but it gets the job done.{S}
 Surely you have more to say to me than that.{S}
 Should not you be trying to talk me out of killing you?{S}
 The Landsmeet has declared that Queen Anora will continue to rule.{S}
 I assure you, I will be just as wounded even when I do not know what you are saying.{S}
 When you run out of common insults, you can try elven.{S}
 I have heard the Alienage speaks profanity as a native tongue.{S}
 Feel free to indulge yourself.{S}
 Try out all the curses and insults you know.{S}
 I will teach you some new ones if they do not suffice.{S}
 I suppose it does lack the element of surprise.{S}
 Well, what shall we do to settle things between us, then?{S}
 Should a fine plan be abandoned simply because it ends in my own demise?{S}
 So what is it you think you can have me do, then, that will be so much worse than death?{S}
 We must settle things between us somehow or other, or neither of us will get any work done.{S}
 We are going to have to work together.{S}
 You want me to call you names?{S}
 I do not have to insult you.{S}
 I have already beaten you.{S}
 Honestly, elf, do you think that among all my crimes is the one that keeps me up at night?{S}
 That is a bit egotistical of you, do not you think?{S}
 Do you honestly think that among all my crimes, that is the one that keeps me awake at night?{S}
 Is that the best you have?{S}
 It does not even offend me because it happens to be true.{S}
 I have killed enough men now, with my own hands or by command, that they are beyond counting.{S}
 I find the topic inexhaustibly fascinating.{S}
 There is no possibility, of course, that Cailan's poor judgment in leading the charge against my advice caused his death.{S}
 Good work.{S}
 Or have you some worse fate in mind for me?{S}
 You sold free people to Tevinter!{S}
 You really have no conscience, do you?{S}
 You think other people suffered, so the elves do not matter?{S}
 Just tell me why you did it.{S}
 And because you stopped it, the army we have to face the Blight is a third the size it should be.{S}
 And many more elves wait in the Alienage, defenseless, for the darkspawn to reach them.{S}
 Conscience has no place in war.{S}
 It got people out of the most indefensible part of the city and put money in the coffers at the same time.{S}
 The whole kingdom is about to be lost: What does principle matter now?{S}
 But the truth of things hardly matters now.{S}
 You have won.{S}
 Just do what I tell you to do.{S}
 I do not know what concession you want from me, Warden.{S}
 The Joining was my death sentence anyway.{S}
 I need to know I can trust you.{S}
 Fine, let us just try to avoid one another.{S}
 Nothing I can say will prove that.{S}
 It will create some difficulty finding a place to pitch tents, I am afraid.{S}
 She may make a few mistakes along the way, but she will survive them.{S}
 Let us cross the bridge and get to the Tower of Ishal!{S}
 Let us just get to the tower.{S}
 It is like a party: we could all stand in a circle and hold hands. <emp>That</emp> would give the darkspawn something to think about.{S}
 I can not imagine it is so simple. <desc>Sigh</desc> Adventure has changed you, Leliana.{S}
 The Old Gods still whispered to some men, and taught them magic.{S}
 The Tevinter Empire had big statues of them.{S}
 Each dragon had a name and a place in the cosmos...{S}
 It is, however, what we have chosen to be.{S}
 And I do not think changing that is a simple matter.{S}
 We do not have to be enemies.{S}
 I think it is time we got to the point here: What do you want from me?{S}
 If you would wanted me dead, you could have had your wish at the Landsmeet.{S}
 I assume, then, that you have something else in mind.{S}
 You tell me: What do you want?{S}
 I am giving you a chance: I want you to take it.{S}
 I was granting you mercy, I did not actually want you.{S}
 I want to get some use out of you before sending you to die.{S}
 You have some plan in mind.{S}
 Fortunate for me, then, that I have always been a man to take chances.{S}
 Let me follow your example: You and I have been adversaries for some time, and I do not expect that to change now.{S}
 I want to ride back to Denerim and sit in the war room and find no empty chairs at the table.{S}
 I want an end to this war.{S}
 Whether or not you can do better remains to be seen.{S}
 But if you can make this the end, Warden, I will follow you.{S}
 I am glad to have you.{S}
 I am no Chantry scholar: I do not know which is the cruel fate and which is the kind one.{S}
 Despite what we each wanted, we are both here now, facing the same enemy, and we can be of use to one another.{S}
 I have at least some chance now of putting right some of the things I have done.{S}
 What do I need you for?{S}
 You are going to have to prove your worth here.{S}
 Do not expect any more than that.{S}
 The end is upon us!{S}
 Get down on your knees and pray!{S}
 The time to repent has come!{S}
 I do not mean to...{S}
 I just need to tell everyone.{S}
 They need to know!{S}
 They need to repent, before... before it is too late!{S}
 I need...{S}
 I need to help everyone... to prepare...{S}
 I think I just need to sit down.{S}
 I need to collect myself.{S}
 For the end is upon us!{S}
 I have!{S}
 I have repented!{S}
 The end has come!{S}
 The soldiers need to hear this, the ones fighting against the king!{S}
 I do not rant!{S}
 You need to stop that.{S}
 Let me put you out of your misery. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 Find someplace else to rant.{S}
 Have you repented your sins?{S}
 Perhaps you need to spread the word further?{S}
 And it has come to my attention that you have been looking to build some armies.{S}
 It will give me an excellent vantage point to see if you can actually lead an attack against the Blight.{S}
 Still, you will get closer to the Wilds than I will, I suspect.{S}
 I will give you a chance.{S}
 Just do not think I trust you.{S}
 I had no idea I would be tested more than I already had been.{S}
 You do not like the idea?{S}
 We will find a way to end this Blight.{S}
 At any rate, your mother would have me accompany you until the matter is settled.{S}
 I do not need you to follow me around.{S}
 Well, we will see how far that gets you.{S}
 You imagine I throw lives away without giving it a thought.{S}
 This was always meant to end in my death.{S}
 You have been kinder to me than I have deserved, so I am going to tell you plainly that you should reconsider.{S}
 Do you take everything so literally?{S}
 I am no bard, but I will do my best.{S}
 But you are obviously not made of ash.{S}
 Who keeps track of every two-bit hero?{S}
 The arl has been recruiting men from the countryside in droves.{S}
 With any luck we may even have a real army here again soon.{S}
 There is no way he is coming back now after what is been done to him.{S}
 If Arl Eamon can be revived, maybe we might see an actual end to all this misery.{S}
 I have my doubts.{S}
 I hear Bann Teagan has some plan to find Andraste's ashes.{S}
 There is a lot of work to be done, if the village is going to be rebuilt. <desc>Sigh</desc> Maker's breath, I can not believe we are still standing after all that.{S}
 Maybe we will make it through this somehow, after all.{S}
 We just got back here, after we heard that the attacks were over.{S}
 I had no idea.{S}
 We have been incredibly fortunate.{S}
 I may have fled the village before, but I am back now... and I intend to enlist in the arl's army.{S}
 But thanks to you, the village is still alive and we had something to return to.{S}
 It will not take long to rebuild.{S}
 Will we have to flee again?{S}
 So the Urn of Sacred Ashes truly does exist, and you were the one to find it?{S}
 I went to the village of Haven and found nothing but a dead end.{S}
 Perhaps if I had been more... suspicious.{S}
 The Maker obviously intended that you be the one to find the Urn.{S}
 I admit that I had thought it to be a myth and nothing more.{S}
 Apparently, Bann Teagan insists that the search for the Urn of Sacred Ashes continues.{S}
 I do not believe it exists.{S}
 Bann Teagan must accept that he may have to take up his brother's position as arl.{S}
 I do not believe there is a cure for what ails Arl Eamon.{S}
 We must accept the truth, and call back the other knights who have ventured out in search of the Urn.{S}
 It is difficult to return to the castle and find it in such a state.{S}
 I wish now that I had not left.{S}
 I should have been here to defend the arl.{S}
 Surely the arl's knights will return, now that the civil war has begun.{S}
 It is an honor to meet you, my lord.{S}
 It is an honor to meet you, my lady.{S}
 She had free reign over the woods.{S}
 Have you collected the rest of the bags from the cellar?{S}
 Then we need to collect the rest of the weapons that were salvaged by the-- --oh, I apologize, I did not see you there.{S}
 We have been so busy trying to salvage the castle's stores.{S}
 Is there something you need?{S}
 Bann Teagan brought me up from his estate out east, to help with restoring the castle to its... well, to a manageable state, anyhow.{S}
 Someone needs to go through all the castle's inventory and find out what is been spoiled or damaged, and what is still useable.{S}
 And there is plenty left to do, do not you know.{S}
 Whatever we have been able to find, throughout the castle.{S}
 Much of it had to be stripped from the dead...{S}
 Maker watch over them... but we really have little choice, grim as the task might be.{S}
 If it is no trouble, then, I need to get back to the accounting.{S}
 We have an army to outfit, and quickly!{S}
 Did you desire something from the stores?{S}
 Did you desire something from the stores?{S}
 I will leave you to your work.{S}
 What do you have?{S}
 Let me take a look at the stores.{S}
 No, I do not need anything.{S}
 Let the Memories find you worthy, first amidst the lords of the houses, the king of Orzammar.{S}
 Let no man have cause to fear the shadows.{S}
 Let their souls be lifted upon your return.{S}
 So let it be.{S}
 Swiftly do stars burn a path across the sky, hast'ning to place one last kiss upon your eye.{S}
 You found Alistair, did you?{S}
 I will assume you are ready to begin preparations.{S}
 You were not recruited out of charity.{S}
 You found our tent, I see.{S}
 Is there something you need?{S}
 Do not wait too long before seeking out Alistair.{S}
 As I said earlier, we will need to begin preparations for the Joining before nightfall.{S}
 Not all who drink the blood will survive and those who do are forever changed.{S}
 This is why the Joining is a secret.{S}
 It is the price we pay.{S}
 I need to ask you something else.{S}
 I am one of the king's servants, which means I run messages around and make deliveries all day long.{S}
 I... do not think so.{S}
 Second day, they beat us and eat some for meat.{S}
 Now she does feast, as she is become the beast.{S}
 I will... go back to the smith with this note and tell him it is all taken care of.{S}
 I will return to her once my duty is done and the Blight defeated.{S}
 So you abandoned her?{S}
 And I bet you are as innocent as the sunrise.{S}
 He wasn't happy about something she did or the king did...{S}
 I did not know Cailan was married.{S}
 Spend enough time here, you will get an earful about those witches.{S}
 Pleased to meet you, my lord.{S}
 Pleased to meet you, mum.{S}
 Do we have them yet?{S}
 You have counted the armor sets, correct?{S}
 There are fourteen more sets still being cleaned.{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 Nobody wanted to touch them, my lord.{S}
 I specifically asked you to sort them, did not I?{S}
 I did sort those records, my lord.{S}
 You already took them back.{S}
 We will need a full weapon count by the end of the week.{S}
 They said they would try.{S}
 We will need better than trying.{S}
 Let us give him a day or two to recover.{S}
 The most you have to worry about is some tooth marks.{S}
 Then I will give it a shot.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 You advanced so quickly in your training that Irving never sent you to work under me.{S}
 Well done, Grey Warden.{S}
 The arl has called for an army, now that he is woken up.{S}
 I am so glad that Arl Eamon has recovered.{S}
 Lovely to meet you.{S}
 Arl Eamon is going to fix everything once he gets better.{S}
 If the arl were awake now, I bet there would be people lining up to be recruited.{S}
 We all have to fight if we are going to survive the Blight.{S}
 The armor they gave me does not quite fit, but I guess it will have to do.{S}
 I do not want to even think about what happened here.{S}
 Do you think they all died?{S}
 Or did they run away?{S}
 At least working here we get a roof over our head and the army's protection.{S}
 If the darkspawn come, we will need it.{S}
 It will take years to sort out the castle properly.{S}
 If we even get the chance.{S}
 I just can not bear to think about what he must have gone through.{S}
 You have saved us all, you have.{S}
 She is down here and I am not going anywhere until I find her.{S}
 It will have to wait, I have business on the surface.{S}
 It rivals even the work of the Paragon Smith herself!{S}
 Your words bring shame upon our house.{S}
 You would compare this to Branka's work?{S}
 Trust a woman to speak of things she does not understand.{S}
 Be quiet now, and pray the ancestors deliver Branka back safely. <emp>Find Trian</emp>{S}
 Your father, King Endrin, needs to speak to your brother, Trian.{S}
 You are to locate Trian and tell him that your father needs him.{S}
 Trian is either at the Provings, or resting in his quarters. <emp>Think twice about supporting Lord Dace</emp>{S}
 He has many reasons for wanting you to speak out for him in front of the nobles, and not all of them are noble.{S}
 Then our current forces will have to suffice, will not they?{S}
 The Orlesian Grey Wardens would be a great support in the coming battle.{S}
 I have great respect for the Wardens... unless they are from Orlais.{S}
 We need no Orlesian charity.{S}
 King Cailan should not have called on those vile Orlesians for help.{S}
 Pray that our king proves amenable to wisdom, if you are the praying sort.{S}
 You certainly have some gall, merchant!{S}
 I had a chat with him, actually.{S}
 Oh, I would have deserted eventually, just not then.{S}
 I got one of those wizards drunk and took his key.{S}
 It belongs to a chest they got here, full of magical treasures.{S}
 In fact, I still have it.{S}
 If you were not deserting, why sneak around the camp? <emp>Find a use for the drake scales</emp>{S}
 Searching the carcass of a dead drake, you have found a number of undamaged scales.{S}
 A master armor smith may be able to make armor from them.{S}
 Like I said, I can not let you through.{S}
 You have more at your disposal than you think.{S}
 Now... before you go, there is yet one more thing I can offer you.{S}
 We need the rest of the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Let us get back to Duncan quickly.{S}
 We still need to get that darkspawn blood.{S}
 I wonder if they will give it up nicely?{S}
 We still need to find those documents.{S}
 You have more at your disposal than merely old friends.{S}
 We will find a way.{S}
 Put your back into it!{S}
 Do you think you are swinging a broom?{S}
 Do not swing wildly!{S}
 Keep it up!{S}
 Maker watch over us in our time of need.{S}
 May those who have perished here be greeted by the Maker and walk beside Him.{S}
 Let Him look on them with forgiveness for their sins.{S}
 Usually that is not something you are allowed to stop.{S}
 The Chantry spends a lot of time training you to fight mages.{S}
 They do not like to give you up.{S}
 I should have recognized you right away.{S}
 I am sure the revered mother meant it as an insult--sending me as her messenger--and the mage picked right up on that.{S}
 You do not know?{S}
 The Chantry tries to control mages because they are dangerous, so they keep templars that train to hunt down and kill apostates.{S}
 That is what I was being trained as when Duncan recruited me six months ago.{S}
 Why does that matter?{S}
 Have you?{S}
 Have you heard?{S}
 King's got a team who found traces of Branka in the Deep Roads.{S}
 Found her body, did they?{S}
 No Grey Warden has ever defeated a Blight without the army of a half-dozen nations at his back.{S}
 Not to mention, I do not know how.{S}
 How to kill the archdemon, or how to raise an army?{S}
 Have the Wardens no allies these days?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Duncan said that the Grey Wardens of Orlais had been called.{S}
 We need to bring Loghain to judgment!{S}
 Why would he do this?{S}
 Then we need to find this archdemon.{S}
 Who cares what she is?{S}
 We need to do something now.{S}
 He is done the best he can with what little he has... and that includes me, I guess.{S}
 The Lady of the Forest has sent us ahead.{S}
 We fight only because of the debt that is owed to you. <desc>Growls</desc> These humans would kill us without a second thought, if they had their wish.{S}
 When you issue the call to battle, Grey Warden, the werewolves shall be ready and the Lady of the Forest will lead us to fight.{S}
 Let the humans watch, if they wish.{S}
 I use the words of the Lady to calm my brothers, but we are ill at ease here.{S}
 But we will not leave. <desc>Growls</desc> We remember our debt to you, even if these humans do not.{S}
 They attempted to give us bedrooms within this castle... cushions and things stuffed with feathers.{S}
 It made no sense.{S}
 At least the humans provide meat and game.{S}
 We eat well, even if they fear us.{S}
 It is for their own good that they do so.{S}
 Let the battle come soon, Grey Warden.{S}
 The humans remain difficult, but my brothers and I keep to ourselves.{S}
 Have you been treated well otherwise?{S}
 I have told them to mind their manners.{S}
 Make sure your people are under control.{S}
 We are not exactly chumming up with them and playing cards.{S}
 I just do not want to fight anywhere near them, if I can help it.{S}
 Just keep those wolf-men in the kennels where they seem to want to stay anyhow.{S}
 How we will fight together, I do not even want to know.{S}
 The keeper has sent us here in advance of the others.{S}
 As soon as more of the hunters regain their strength, they shall join us.{S}
 I would never have thought that such buildings could be so... large.{S}
 Most of us have never left the clan before for any reason.{S}
 It is unnerving to have no proper roof over one's head.{S}
 The men are having difficulty sleeping on the surface.{S}
 They complain that they have nightmares of falling up into the sky.{S}
 These humans speak of darkspawn as if they have suddenly appeared out of nowhere.{S}
 We have been sent by the Circle of Magi to advise Redcliffe until more mages can arrive from the tower.{S}
 We have brought along a selection of magical goods that the first enchanter believed you might have need of.{S}
 Let me know if you wish to see any of it.{S}
 Let me fetch one of the Tranquil and they can show you our stores.{S}
 A number of our fellow mages still need time to... recover from their ordeal.{S}
 If the arl does not revive from his sickness, Bann Teagan will need to take his place.{S}
 And we must be careful that what happened to the arl does not repeat itself.{S}
 His last flirtation with death was a close one, after all, and must not be allowed to happen again.{S}
 Is there something you need from the Circle?{S}
 Let me see what you have brought.{S}
 What kind of advice can you offer?{S}
 We have been sent ahead of the other templars to prepare quarters for the men.{S}
 I wish we had come here sooner.{S}
 Maker's breath, this place has already seen such devastation, and the darkspawn are not even yet upon us!{S}
 I understand that some of these darkspawn use magic.{S}
 Our templar abilities to dispel magic will come into use in the battle, it appears.{S}
 The templars will be ready when the battle begins, Grey Warden.{S}
 You will have your army.{S}
 What do you want to do?{S}
 Start Fight!!!{S}
 With so many having forgotten their commitments to us, I suspect it may be a good idea to have something to remind them with. <emp>Visit the merchants or watch the Provings</emp>{S}
 Your father, King Endrin, has arranged for a feast to celebrate your appointment as Orzammar's newest commander.{S}
 However, you have several hours before your father will be ready to present you to the other nobles.{S}
 You may visit the merchants who have set up shop in the Diamond Quarter, or watch the Provings that are being held in your honor.{S}
 The Proving Grounds are one tier down from the Diamond Quarter, in the Commons.{S}
 Do not worry, Duncan.{S}
 You must both be eager to reach your tents.{S}
 Have you any news before I go?{S}
 They do not live there, nor would any sane mage trespass as deeply into that realm as the Black City, which lies at its heart.{S}
 I do not remember encountering darkspawn in the Fade.{S}
 Let me get back to that.{S}
 I merely offered my opinion.{S}
 Been keeping safe and well behaved, I hope?{S}
 Come on boys, the little whore needs to learn her place.{S}
 Years ago, I wanted to join the Chantry as a scholar, but Father would not hear of it.{S}
 Well, I do not.{S}
 They are not in the places you have yet seen.{S}
 Are you heading to the Proving Arena?{S}
 That depends on what kind of life you have led.{S}
 Me, I am perfectly willing to accept that this Joining is some kind of punishment.{S}
 Have you heard about tomorrow's assault on the darkspawn burrows?{S}
 They say they are going to strike a blow at the horde, but rumor has it they are actually searching for Branka.{S}
 The ancestors have risen her up to join them.{S}
 You do not think she is still out there?{S}
 Are you heading to the Proving Arena?{S}
 Why do you ask?{S}
 Gorim, I do not remember addressing this man.{S}
 We have been charged with the task of escorting you to the Proving grounds.{S}
 I am to escort our new commander to the Proving grounds.{S}
 Forgive me, I should have informed you sooner.{S}
 I am quite capable of walking safely to the Proving.{S}
 I do not need an armed guard.{S}
 I did mention the merchants that won permits to show their goods in the Diamond Quarter?{S}
 Your father fears you will be harassed on the way to the Proving.{S}
 He could have provided me with a more impressive entourage.{S}
 Do you wish to leave for the Proving grounds, my lady?{S}
 Do you wish to leave for the Proving grounds, my lord?{S}
 Why do not you take a break?{S}
 We will take a break when we are done here.{S}
 For now, we are here to serve.{S}
 The Lady Aeducan may take as much time as she likes.{S}
 The Lord Aeducan may take as much time as he likes.{S}
 Then let us leave.{S}
 As do we all.{S}
 The shield has been pitted and scarred by the claws of countless darkspawn, but the ancient seal of House Aeducan can still be clearly seen.{S}
 Oh, I would love to end up with a redhead!{S}
 I think you have an admirer, young man.{S}
 Go while you have the chance!{S}
 If it does, leave it to us.{S}
 The battle is about to begin.{S}
 You will have less than an hour.{S}
 Even the best-laid plans go awry, so do what you must.{S}
 We must do whatever it takes to destroy the darkspawn... exciting or no.{S}
 I get it.{S}
 I get it.{S}
 Just so you know, if the king ever asks me to put on a dress and dance the Remigold, I am drawing the line.{S}
 I have my dignity.{S}
 But it has to be a pretty dress.{S}
 How much time do we have?{S}
 We have an important job.{S}
 Way to take a stand, Alistair.{S}
 You have some odd ideas about the king.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Well done!{S}
 You must be the Grey Warden recruit that Duncan brought.{S}
 Need a hand getting anywhere?{S}
 Most of your fellows are in the valley with the army, but the recruits seem to be staying up here for now.{S}
 Try heading north.{S}
 Used to be a fortress, long time ago, so I understand.{S}
 Back in the days when the Wilders used to invade the lowlands.{S}
 We got the Grey Wardens here, the Circle of Magi, the Chantry... you can not swing a dead cat without hitting somebody important.{S}
 The king likes to spend time with his soldiers, though, sometimes even without his bodyguards.{S}
 Drives Teyrn Loghain wild, that does.{S}
 They even brought those creepy quiet fellows, the Tranquil.{S}
 Gives me the shivers when they talk, all cold and even.{S}
 The king has his kennels on the west side of camp.{S}
 These are not cute puppies, though--some of those dogs bite the darkspawn and get too much of that blood in them...{S}
 I am looking for a Grey Warden named Alistair.{S}
 Is there anywhere to get supplies?{S}
 Do I hear dogs barking?{S}
 Tell me, Ser Gilmore, has my pup collared that dog yet?{S}
 Ser Gilmore, see that it gets done.{S}
 The Proving Master{S}
 By chance, I am beginning to teach these young squires about your family's history.{S}
 Changed your mind, have you?{S}
 The only way to help him is to get him muzzled.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 My son has died defending my honor...{S}
 The Landsmeet is over and it has been decided that Queen Anora shall rule Ferelden, with you as her king-consort.{S}
 Queen Anora will lead Ferelden, and you, her Grey Warden, will lead her armies.{S}
 Hopefully, the flask can hold it.{S}
 Where would you like to start?{S}
 Start in the King's camp.{S}
 (Skips the opening cutscene and conversation.{S}
 Speak to Duncan to start the plot.){S}
 Start in the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 Start in the night version of the King's camp (after Wilds).{S}
 Start in the signal tower.{S}
 Start at the top of the signal tower.{S}
 We leave immediately for Ostagar to join with the human forces facing the darkspawn hordes, led by King Cailan.{S}
 So you... mentioned you had a son?{S}
 I honestly do not know, Alistair.{S}
 He was... taken from me.{S}
 I have heard that.{S}
 Did not something bad happen there?{S}
 Such births are seldom, as there are ways to prevent it, but it does happen.{S}
 I... did not know.{S}
 Do you think about him?{S}
 Could not you do something about it?{S}
 Do what?{S}
 I was weak from the birthing process and there were... no, there was nothing I could do.{S}
 I was wondering where it got to.{S}
 How age creeps up on you, and brings with it forgetfulness...{S}
 Ah, but you should have seen me fifteen, twenty years ago... the fires have dimmed somewhat, since then.{S}
 But thank you, Leliana... for picking up after this old lady.{S}
 What do you need to do?{S}
 I do not know what gender you are!{S}
 I do not know what class you are!{S}
 I do not know what race you are!{S}
 What would you like to do?{S}
 Do something in the King's camp (day version).{S}
 Do something in the King's camp (night version).{S}
 Get food for prisoner.{S}
 Get the key to the mage's chest.{S}
 Start strategy meeting{S}
 (Start over.){S}
 Do something in the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 Get darkspawn blood.{S}
 Get the treaties.{S}
 Get flowers.{S}
 Do something not specific to an area.{S}
 I am all done.{S}
 I wish to speak to you of a matter most urgent.{S}
 Where would you like to start?{S}
 Start in Flemeth's hut (after Signal Tower).{S}
 Start at the end of the Prelude.{S}
 Nothing beats a good set of steel cutlery!{S}
 Why did the king have to die?{S}
 What will we do?{S}
 Start ritual.{S}
 Got him and themselves killed.{S}
 We have got work to do!{S}
 If you want Bhelen to support you in your surface war, you will have to help him take the throne.{S}
 I would not keep the prince waiting long.{S}
 Be quick about it, then. <emp>Help Branka reach the Anvil of the Void</emp>{S}
 You found Paragon Branka, far beyond the Dead Trenches.{S}
 She has agreed to settle the dispute over Orzammar's throne, but she wants you to help her reach the Anvil of the Void.{S}
 Well, who would have imagined...{S}
 Have your agents accomplished what I asked?{S}
 You have proven yourself an invaluable ally, your Highness.{S}
 You freed beloved Andraste.{S}
 There is so much work to be done, especially after... hmm...{S}
 Adden, Father Kolgrim has asked for bandages and herbs.{S}
 Gather these things and bring them to the temple.{S}
 You have been asked to serve.{S}
 Is there anything I might do for you?{S}
 Your arrival was... disruptive, but what you have done for us marks a new era, one we look forward to.{S}
 They call you the deliverer... they say you freed Andraste!{S}
 He did not recognize you as Andraste's champion.{S}
 If there is anything--<emp>anything</emp>--I can do for you, just... just say it.{S}
 They say you got rid of that nasty spirit.{S}
 Did you stab him?{S}
 You freed Andraste from that spirit.{S}
 Kolgrim made you one of us.{S}
 I guess that makes you all right.{S}
 You do not need to be so unfriendly.{S}
 I have never been to the temple.{S}
 Who do you think will take Father Eirik's place?{S}
 I admit that I did not see Andraste's champion in you.{S}
 Haven will continue as always.{S}
 Things do not change here.{S}
 Mistakes were made because you were lost, but now you are found, and have been given a place in Andraste's sight.{S}
 That is all that matters.{S}
 Try the shop.{S}
 Can you tell me where I might get supplies?{S}
 Ah, but we are far from the politics of Orzammar here, and you have no brothers to interfere this time.{S}
 The last time I got sidelined like this, I ended up exiled.{S}
 Purify them in your fire and make them whole again.{S}
 Do not come close!{S}
 They call you the deliverer but you have killed so many...{S}
 Take them into Your arms, my Lady, and comfort them.{S}
 I... pray for forgiveness, for fearing that my Taryn will also be taken from me like this.{S}
 Taryn would be blessed to die in Your name...{S}
 Please, give me strength...{S}
 Find me there, if you wish.{S}
 Who did you complete Task 1 for?{S}
 Who did you accept Task 1 from?{S}
 Your hound is making so much noise!{S}
 I did not do anything!{S}
 Can not you make him stop?{S}
 Something's got him riled.{S}
 I am sorry, I have been trying to quiet him, but he will not have it.{S}
 I do not know why he is so angry. <desc>He stares at the door and growls.</desc>{S}
 How did he even get in here?{S}
 Wait, do you hear that?{S}
 Oh, encourage the hound, why do not you?{S}
 No wonder he keeps giving Nan fits. <desc>More barking, spinning around in place</desc>{S}
 He does seem like he is trying to tell you something.{S}
 Wait, do you hear that?{S}
 What did you do to him?{S}
 I could put him out in the hall.{S}
 I have had just about enough out of you, today!{S}
 Do you hear me?{S}
 I am not putting up with this.{S}
 Are you trying to tell me something, boy?{S}
 They need me.{S}
 You did all this... and yet we are supposed to be thankful that you came.{S}
 I am busy, please, let me be.{S}
 I need more herbs... more bandages.{S}
 I have to gather the right team, the right equipment.{S}
 I am afraid I will have to wait until all this is over.{S}
 I am re-reading all the books and manuscripts though&{S}
 Having been there, some cryptic passages are finally making sense!{S}
 Anything I do from now on, anything I discover, I shall dedicate in his memory.{S}
 After all, I owe this all to you.{S}
 Have you learned anything more about the Urn?{S}
 Do not you wish Weylon was here?{S}
 Where did they come from?{S}
 How did they get here so quickly?!{S}
 These promissory notes prove that Harrowmont gave the same land to both House Dace and House Helmi.{S}
 This finger bone token will open the door to Jarvia's hideout.{S}
 In the Wilds, we are eaten; here we starve.{S}
 Is there no end to our "fortune"?{S}
 The Blight is coming and I need Orzammar's assistance.{S}
 I have unfinished business with him.{S}
 Do not let me stop you.{S}
 I do not have the steel to try you, but you may want to watch yourself around those who do.{S}
 Dinner's not ready yet, and do not ask!{S}
 It will be served when it is done, and that is that!{S}
 I would better not catch you trying to serve brown bread to the guests again, Helena, or I will have your hide.{S}
 We will need white sugar for those cakes, Helena, not barley sugar.{S}
 Tell me if it is in need of any more spice.{S}
 Someone keep those cats out of my cream!{S}
 Now bring it over, child, and be quick.{S}
 What do you mean we are out of eggs?{S}
 Do not those chickens know they are laying for an arl?!{S}
 Helana, how many times I gotta tell you before it make it through that pointy skull?{S}
 Bank the coals at night or the stew do not cook!{S}
 I have to dust the arl's sitting room.{S}
 If Lady Isolde hadn't brought me into this household from Redcliffe last year, I would never have been given a place.{S}
 The housekeeper will have my head.{S}
 Lady Isolde brought me here to be her chambermaid last spring.{S}
 I have family here, though.{S}
 The lady queen has summoned me to see to her unmentionables.{S}
 She is brought a maid of her own to wait on her.{S}
 What do you do here?{S}
 You have spoken to Queen Anora?{S}
 Warden, I am not surprised it has come to this.{S}
 You have torn this nation apart to oppose my lord, and never once tried to understand why he is a hero to Ferelden.{S}
 But do not think you will get past me to desecrate the Landsmeet itself.{S}
 The nobles of Ferelden will confirm my lord as regent, and we can finally put this to rest.{S}
 Do you mean to talk me into betraying my lord?{S}
 There are not such words in all language to make that happen, Warden.{S}
 Now, let us end this.{S}
 I am aware that he has changed...{S}
 It has been difficult for him to realize his own countrymen would turn against him.{S}
 One of the best Ferelden has seen.{S}
 You think to impress me with Maric's name?{S}
 I served Maric and Loghain both.{S}
 I will not believe my lord would ever have betrayed that trust.{S}
 Loghain used to have that ring in his voice.{S}
 He has not sounded that way in many months now.{S}
 What was he supposed to do?{S}
 Maybe the Grey Wardens killed him, or maybe my lord let him die of his own foolishness.{S}
 Either way, it may have saved Ferelden.{S}
 You think war is simple, do not you, Warden?{S}
 What would you have me say, Warden?{S}
 Loghain is a great man, but his hatred of Orlais has driven him to madness.{S}
 He has done terrible things, I know it, but I owe him everything.{S}
 I cannot betray him, do not ask me to!{S}
 A challenge I meet gladly.{S}
 I wish I had died at Ostagar rather than live to see this moment.{S}
 But whatever he did, it was only in defense of Ferelden.{S}
 I can end the threat you pose to Ferelden!{S}
 You have torn Ferelden apart to oppose the very man who ensured you were born into freedom.{S}
 This is the most I can do.{S}
 Do not speak to me.{S}
 The queen has allowed me to join her personal guard.{S}
 I will keep her safe.{S}
 Do you really not see what Loghain has become?{S}
 Would a great man let Arl Howe torture his subjects?{S}
 Serve your queen and save Maric's throne.{S}
 To support his war, he is sold his own people into slavery.{S}
 How can you support the man who killed your king?{S}
 How do you justify letting Arl Howe torture his subjects?{S}
 Then let me stop him.{S}
 Put down your weapons and let us pass.{S}
 So now you admit Loghain may have killed him?{S}
 Stop talking and show me what you can do with that thing.{S}
 Please let me know if anything is troubling you.{S}
 His lordship has gone ahead to the palace.{S}
 Do not leave him alone there any longer.{S}
 I trust you have made yourself comfortable.{S}
 But when she tries to speak with him, he does not answer.{S}
 Because you do not want Loghain ruling Ferelden, and if Anora can speak at the Landsmeet, her voice would sway many nobles.{S}
 Loghain, he has said much about the young Grey Warden who survived.{S}
 We may have no choice but to trust Anora.{S}
 I am not sure that is a risk we can afford to take.{S}
 I have some uniforms.{S}
 Arl Howe hires so many new guards every day, a few more will not cause much stir.{S}
 Why do not we ensure Loghain will not have us all executed first, and worry about how to celebrate later?{S}
 She works for Loghain's daughter.{S}
 Give me one good reason to believe this crazy story.{S}
 We have to get her out of there.{S}
 We have to help.{S}
 This could all be a set-up.{S}
 So, what do you propose we do?{S}
 Maybe if I drop a couple of good plates, they will not make me dry them anymore...{S}
 We had a whole wagonload of potatoes so rotten, they did not even sour!{S}
 She do not have to yell.{S}
 My mother says elves have the clap!{S}
 What is the point in scrubbing the pots if they just get dirty again?{S}
 Mistress Agatha would have my hide.{S}
 Of course it does.{S}
 Do you think me heartless?{S}
 Had he not been king, he would have made a dashing rogue for a band of players.{S}
 He would not have wanted the burden of ruling any more than I would have liked remaining the silent wife in my husband's shadow.{S}
 Loghain is the hero they have looked up to their whole lives.{S}
 That is why it will be critical to find some way to discredit him before the Landsmeet: We must have proof of my father's crimes for the banns, or they will never believe us.{S}
 Do you want me to try my luck at fortune telling?{S}
 There was an old woman who read palms in the village of Gwaren when I was a child.{S}
 She told me that I would have ten children and be bald as a winter heath when I grew up.{S}
 I can not say that I put much faith in foretelling.{S}
 He touched it--no more than that--and it shed half its leaves like a dog with mange.{S}
 He bought her another one, though.{S}
 He carried it back from Denerim with the branches overflowing his saddlebag.{S}
 Despite the thorns tearing him bloody, he would not let anyone else take it.{S}
 My father has his faults, Warden, but he is far from common.{S}
 Have you spoken to my lucky betrothed yet?{S}
 Well do so, and quickly.{S}
 I would like to have this settled before the Landsmeet.{S}
 I have spoken with Alistair.{S}
 Does it make you uncomfortable siding against your father?{S}
 Cailan was a fool, but he did not deserve his death.{S}
 I met with Cailan at Ostagar.{S}
 Did you love Cailan?{S}
 What do you think will happen after the Landsmeet?{S}
 I still need to speak to him.{S}
 Tell us, Warden: How <emp>will</emp> the Orlesians take our nation from us?{S}
 How much did it cost the empress to buy your loyalty?{S}
 And once we open our borders to the Chevaliers, can we really expect them to simply return from whence they came?{S}
 Will you let darkspawn take the whole country for fear of Orlais?{S}
 But do we need Grey Wardens to fight it?{S}
 They claim that they alone can end the Blight, yet they failed spectacularly against the darkspawn at Ostagar, and they ask to bring with them four legions of chevaliers.{S}
 I knew Maric, and if he had another son, he would have acknowledged it openly.{S}
 In fact, none of us had heard of any other heirs to the throne until you arrived, Warden.{S}
 You led our king to his death with your grandiose tales of griffons flying into battle.{S}
 You goaded him into making that charge!{S}
 What would you have me do?{S}
 Should I have sacrificed the entire army for his mistake?{S}
 Do not imagine you can shame me with Cailan's death.{S}
 No one regrets his loss more than I do.{S}
 By all means let us speak of Anora, Warden, for this is a matter close to my own heart.{S}
 What have you done with my daughter?{S}
 The only question is whether or not we believe that only Grey Wardens may end it.{S}
 Does anyone expect you to fare better against the archdemon?{S}
 Damage from the riots has yet to be repaired.{S}
 There is no chance of holding it if the Blight comes here.{S}
 Despite what you may think, Warden, I have done my duty.{S}
 Whatever my regrets may be for the elves, I have done what was needed for the good of Ferelden.{S}
 Whatever Howe may have done, he should have been brought before the seneschal.{S}
 Had there been <emp>any</emp> chance of reaching him at Ostagar, I would have fought to my last breath to save him.{S}
 You made Cailan believe war was an easy matter of riding out in his new armor and collecting a victory that sat ripe and waiting for him.{S}
 His death was only the beginning of your crimes here, Warden.{S}
 What have you done with my daughter Anora?{S}
 You took my daughter--our queen--by force, killing her guards in the process.{S}
 What arts have you employed to keep her?{S}
 Does she even still live?{S}
 This Warden has slandered and defamed Ferelden's greatest hero in a bid to put an imposter on Maric's throne.{S}
 My father will always do what must be done for Ferelden.{S}
 Did he?{S}
 He would never do less than his utmost for the sake of his country.{S}
 But I needed to know <emp>your</emp> mind, Warden.{S}
 You could have proven yourself an ally of Ferelden.{S}
 It is unfortunate for all of us that you did not.{S}
 It has become clear to me, Warden, that the true threat to this nation is you.{S}
 I offered you the chance to ally with me for the good of this nation, and you refused it.{S}
 I will not allow you to destroy the throne Cailan and I have held.{S}
 Who here can say that Anora is not fit to rule this land?{S}
 We know nothing of him save that he <emp>may</emp> have royal blood.{S}
 For five years Anora has been queen, and proven herself worthy of the Theirin name.{S}
 She can lead our people through this crisis, and I can lead her armies.{S}
 I would have already been killed, if not for this Grey Warden.{S}
 So the Warden's influence has poisoned even your mind, Anora?{S}
 My lords and ladies, our land has been threatened before.{S}
 We Fereldans have proven that we will never truly be conquered so long as we are united.{S}
 We must not let ourselves be divided now.{S}
 The Landsmeet has spoken.{S}
 Following these Grey Wardens has cost us our king.{S}
 We must not allow it to cost us our country.{S}
 Take these traitors outside to await execution.{S}
 We will not be taken without a fight!{S}
 Take the traitors outside to await execution.{S}
 The Blight is coming; we need the Grey Wardens!{S}
 You cared about this land once.{S}
 Before you got too old and fat and content to even see what you risk.{S}
 None of you have spilled blood for this land the way I have!{S}
 Then let us end this.{S}
 Dragon's Peak supports the Warden!{S}
 No lesser man can lead our armies to victory.{S}
 The Warden helped me personally in a& family matter.{S}
 Did you believe it would be like the old tales: knights with pennants flying over battlefields where all outcomes are decided simply and with honor?{S}
 Sacrifices were made.{S}
 I have a question for you, Warden: What have you done with my daughter?{S}
 I neither know nor care who Eamon has offended enough to warrant assassination attempts.{S}
 I do, however, very much want to know what you have done with my daughter.{S}
 My son was taken under cover of night.{S}
 The things done to him... some of them are beyond any healer's skill.{S}
 How much Fereldan blood does Orlesian gold buy these days?{S}
 What did they offer you?{S}
 A man is made by the quality of his enemies.{S}
 Let the Landsmeet declare the terms of the duel.{S}
 Will you face me yourself, or have you a champion?{S}
 I think the odds might be <emp>slightly</emp> in his favor at a test of strength, but it is your right to choose.{S}
 Prepare your champion, and let us end this.{S}
 Then prepare your champion, and let us see an end to this.{S}
 Then let us test the mettle of our would-be king.{S}
 Prepare yourself.{S}
 So let us fight for it.{S}
 Prepare yourself.{S}
 When we first met at Ostagar, I would never have thought so.{S}
 Let there be no further bloodshed in the Landsmeet.{S}
 Do you accept the terms?{S}
 Anyone with a leftover ham bone could buy his allegiance.{S}
 Choose someone else.{S}
 You know, I could have said that.{S}
 My friend, reconsider: Even if we defeat Loghain and all his allies here, we still cannot put Alistair on the throne.{S}
 I do not think we have a choice.{S}
 It is been done in the past.{S}
 How do you think King Calenhad got his crown in the first place?{S}
 Your champion has won.{S}
 I thought you were like Cailan, a child wanting to play at war.{S}
 There is a strength in you that I have not seen anywhere since Maric died.{S}
 Let him be of use.{S}
 Let him go through the Joining.{S}
 What does loyalty matter?{S}
 The Joining binds us to the darkspawn.{S}
 If you were to forswear your oath and flee today, you would find yourself in the Deep Roads or the Blight-lands, given time.{S}
 You would seek them out, or they would seek you.{S}
 It is not a matter of what we <emp>like</emp>; it is a matter of what we <emp>must do</emp>.{S}
 Kinslayers, blood mages, traitors, rebels, carta thugs, common bandits: Anyone with the skill and the mettle to take up the sword against the darkspawn is welcome among us.{S}
 And there are... compelling reasons to have as many Wardens on hand as possible to deal with the archdemon.{S}
 The Joining itself is often fatal, is it not?{S}
 If not, you have your revenge.{S}
 Does not that satisfy you?{S}
 Riordan, this man abandoned our brothers and then blamed us for the deed!{S}
 You can not do this!{S}
 My father may have been wrong, but he is still a hero to the people.{S}
 Stop treating me like a child.{S}
 Just make it quick, Warden.{S}
 I owe that to Duncan.{S}
 Alistair will take his father's throne.{S}
 When did this get decided?{S}
 Nobody's decided that, have they?{S}
 Everyone here has heard him.{S}
 Who will lead Ferelden?{S}
 You think I would marry my father's murderer?{S}
 If you will not accept the Warden's... unexpected and <emp>generous</emp> offer... then Alistair shall be king.{S}
 I have a nice smile, I am told.{S}
 That will have to do, I suppose.{S}
 I believe this is what King Maric wanted, to see his blood tied to my father's to begin a new line of Fereldan kings.{S}
 We do.{S}
 I believe this is what King Maric wanted, to see his blood tied to my father's to begin a new line of Fereldan kings.{S}
 I-I did swear an oath.{S}
 What the king is trying to say, my lords and ladies, is that he will be taking the field with his fellow Grey Warden to do battle with the archdemon.{S}
 Nothing could convince me to marry my father's murderer.{S}
 There is still a Blight to defeat and armies to gather, and I appoint this woman to lead us in both.{S}
 We will not allow this land to be further threatened by the archdemon.{S}
 There is still a Blight to defeat and armies to gather, and I appoint this man to lead us in both.{S}
 Or everyone points and laughs because I have no clothes on...{S}
 Anora, the Landsmeet has decided against you.{S}
 We must have unity.{S}
 What do you want me to do, exactly?{S}
 I can not do that.{S}
 I guess... put her in the tower, for now.{S}
 Maybe we can find somewhere to send her.{S}
 Guards, take her away.{S}
 I never knew him, but from all I have heard of my father, what defined him was his commitment to protecting this land.{S}
 Everyone, get ready to march.{S}
 It is going to take all of Ferelden's strength to survive this Blight.{S}
 We would better get going.{S}
 I was getting there!{S}
 I took an oath: I swore I would stand and fight the darkspawn, no matter the cost to myself.{S}
 I can not break that oath just to wear the crown.{S}
 I have to go with my fellow Warden to face the Blight.{S}
 When the Blight is over, I will come back and take up my duties... whatever they are... as king.{S}
 Until then, I think Arl Eamon will have to be my regent.{S}
 Then I can do Maric's memory no less honor than you do.{S}
 My fellow Grey Warden will, I hope, take Loghain's place as the leader of my armies.{S}
 As you know, the archdemon has been spotted.{S}
 On the morrow, we shall begin our struggle against the greatest threat Ferelden has ever faced.{S}
 Until then, I shall stay in Denerim, and rule in my husband's absence, as I did for Cailan.{S}
 But I trust Alistair shall reach a more heroic ending.{S}
 Reason clearly had nothing to do with <emp>your</emp> choice, Warden.{S}
 I prefer to think of it as having staunch determination.{S}
 Was there a point you wanted to make?{S}
 I have done what I deemed necessary for Ferelden.{S}
 I assume you will do the same.{S}
 I am glad that you can take time from deciding the fate of our nation for this.{S}
 I have never had the smallest doubt.{S}
 I can lead Ferelden.{S}
 I have proven this.{S}
 Strange, I feel like I am back at the abbey, trying not to get chosen last for the sparring teams.{S}
 She seems to want it, anyway, and I know I do not.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 On the one hand, she did almost have us killed.{S}
 Do not make her queen.{S}
 But I guess... if it comes down to it, I will do my best. <desc>Groans</desc> I think my stomach just twisted up into a knot or something...{S}
 Well, I guess your options are: give the crown to the woman who double-crossed us, or give the crown to me.{S}
 I guess you have to choose between Anora and me, right?{S}
 Frankly, I think you should give her the throne.{S}
 I have never wanted it.{S}
 But it is up to you. <desc>Sigh</desc> I have a recurring nightmare that sounds just like this... all right, yes.{S}
 Joining the Wardens is an honor, not a punishment!{S}
 Name him a Warden and you cheapen us all!{S}
 This goes way beyond having spotless honor, we are not talking about a minor hiccup in his past!{S}
 We need him like we need to be stabbed in the back!{S}
 Or have you forgotten how his being a great general did not help the last time?{S}
 How many generals do you think Ferelden <emp>has</emp>?{S}
 And the entire army that was abandoned at Ostagar?{S}
 I did not want to be king.{S}
 I still do not.{S}
 But... if that is what it takes to see Loghain get justice, then I will do it.{S}
 I will take the crown.{S}
 Can you see how disastrous a king he would be, putting his own selfish desires above the needs of his country?{S}
 You can not seriously support him.{S}
 Did you take a blow to the head?{S}
 I would rather marry the archdemon!{S}
 I do not care anymore.{S}
 Let Loghain take the Joining.{S}
 I am done with the Wardens.{S}
 I will stay here, marry Anora, and be king.{S}
 And <emp>I</emp> thought the whole idea was to bring Loghain to justice!{S}
 Then I will be leaving the Wardens to marry Anora.{S}
 Yes, I do.{S}
 We are keeping the Landsmeet waiting.{S}
 How could you do this to me?{S}
 He is repeatedly tried to kill us both, and you side with him over me?{S}
 I guess I always knew I did not deserve to be so happy.{S}
 I just... did not expect you to agree.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 All I know is I can not let this pass.{S}
 I-I can not do it.{S}
 Ask me for a pound of my flesh, or all the gold in Orlais, but do not ask me to accept that monster as a brother.{S}
 I guess I do not have any choice, do I?{S}
 You already got what you wanted.{S}
 Your murdering father gets a place amongst the Grey Wardens.{S}
 So long as you live, rebellions can be raised in your name.{S}
 Did someone replace my fellow Grey Warden with a pit viper when I wasn't looking?{S}
 You know, I must not have heard that right.{S}
 I could have sworn you just ordered my death.{S}
 Nothing I did counts for anything?{S}
 Guards, take him away, please.{S}
 That is what it will take, huh?{S}
 I do not want anything to do with this place or any of you people.{S}
 You will need it if he actually survives the Joining.{S}
 I do, or I get to join Duncan.{S}
 Have fun ending the Blight... or whatever.{S}
 I guess you made your decision, right?{S}
 I had no idea it would end like this for us.{S}
 That does make it easier.{S}
 I had these dreams... they do not matter now.{S}
 Take care of yourself.{S}
 I did not just hear you say that.{S}
 You are going to let him live?{S}
 After everything he is done?!{S}
 Yes, let us talk about loyalty: To Alistair, your king.{S}
 You expect us to believe a man who sold elves as slaves?{S}
 And yet you tried to steal the throne from his widow.{S}
 Then you should atone by supporting Maric's remaining son.{S}
 You sold Fereldan citizens into slavery to fund your war.{S}
 Then you should be supporting Maric's son.{S}
 You allowed Rendon Howe to imprison and torture innocents.{S}
 What do you know about justice?{S}
 What have I done?{S}
 I have protected her from you.{S}
 I knew you were working with Loghain.{S}
 He tried to kill you!{S}
 If you want a fight, Loghain, you will get one! <act>Attack</act>{S}
 I knew the people of Ferelden would do the right thing.{S}
 Is there justice in selling elves to Tevinter?{S}
 Then why did you send a blood mage to poison Arl Eamon?{S}
 He does.{S}
 The nobles will really let a fight decide Ferelden's future?{S}
 After what he is done, Loghain will fight a fair duel?{S}
 You will die for what you have done.{S}
 Would that even work?{S}
 You want to make him a Warden?{S}
 Loghain has to die for his crimes.{S}
 I can not do it.{S}
 Alistair, you should be the one to do this.{S}
 I shall rule at Queen Anora's side, as her husband.{S}
 I believe Alistair and Anora should marry and rule jointly.{S}
 Alistair will take the throne himself, then.{S}
 I believe Alistair and Anora plan to marry and rule jointly.{S}
 You will have to do something about her, Alistair.{S}
 Shut up and put on the damn crown.{S}
 Just tell them what to do.{S}
 Get to the Blight, already.{S}
 Have them get the armies moving.{S}
 I could do no less, my king.{S}
 Do you expect me to support you after what you have done?{S}
 Are you prepared for this?{S}
 Who do you think I should choose?{S}
 I need to talk to Alistair first.{S}
 I am ready to choose.{S}
 Should I choose Anora?{S}
 Do you think you are ready to be king?{S}
 What do you think I should do?{S}
 You really think I should choose her?{S}
 Riordan has a point, we should put him through the Joining.{S}
 Not all of us have spotless honor, you know.{S}
 We need all the help we can get, Alistair.{S}
 Anora will be queen, and I will rule beside her.{S}
 I thought maybe the two of you could marry.{S}
 I thought the two of you were going to marry?{S}
 Let us get on with this.{S}
 You do not have to leave us.{S}
 Anora, take the crown.{S}
 I am trying to do what is best for Ferelden.{S}
 Alistair, do not be hysterical.{S}
 Why does this have to be the end?{S}
 You owe me a boon.{S}
 Let him go, Anora.{S}
 You do not have to leave.{S}
 Do not go.{S}
 You should have left when you had the chance, Warden.{S}
 And after certain upstarts are brought to heel, he will end the Blight you go on about.{S}
 Something your pathetic order of second sons can not seem to get done.{S}
 Ferelden needs a king who has <emp>known</emp> command.{S}
 Perhaps, but it has served me so well.{S}
 Bryce Cousland's little boy, all grown up, and still trying to fit into daddy's armor.{S}
 I thought Loghain made it clear that your pathetic family is gone and forgotten.{S}
 A fool husk of a son likely to end his days under a rock in the Deep Roads.{S}
 You have lost.{S}
 I made your mother kiss my feet as she died.{S}
 Meet my sword and try to change <emp>that!</emp>{S}
 A fool husk of a daughter likely to end her days under a rock in the Deep Roads.{S}
 Bryce Cousland's little spitfire, all grown up and still playing the man.{S}
 Mother, you brought the light!{S}
 They said it was only darkspawn, but we ate them too.{S}
 Whatever they did sent him over the edge.{S}
 Do you suppose he actually saw my mother there, or is he just blaming her in his madness?{S}
 I do not think you will get anything more out of him.{S}
 I will put you out of your misery. <act>Kill him</act>{S}
 What do you mean retreat?{S}
 I will put him out of his misery. <act>Kill him</act>{S}
 You are free now.{S}
 Maker have mercy on Your faithful servant.{S}
 Andraste, Bride of the Maker, have mercy on me.{S}
 He is got all the signs: Confusion, weepiness...{S}
 He probably does not even know what he is saying.{S}
 Nobles do not have authority over templars.{S}
 Did my father think it funny to leave me for so long before sending you?{S}
 I take it you are not here on my father's request, then.{S}
 We have been friends since birth.{S}
 I accepted a drink from a stranger and ended up here.{S}
 It is hard to imagine anyone with the power to take Loghain down.{S}
 I do not know whether to thank you, or curse that I cannot put the pincers to him myself.{S}
 You have my heartfelt gratitude and, I assume, the gratitude of the entire Dragon's Peak Bannorn.{S}
 If my father sent no one after me, I can only assume that he does not yet know the true colors of the snakes he has allied with.{S}
 But if you talk to him, I am certain he would offer you any reward you might ask.{S}
 Now, please, I must try to get to him.{S}
 I care not.{S}
 All I want is to see my father again... and let his chirurgeon see to my hands.{S}
 Then I need not question why you are here, for your friend's claim to the throne is the greatest threat to Loghain's regime.{S}
 Then I have no question about why you would come, Warden, for it is your men who have suffered the most here.{S}
 After what they have done, I doubt I will ever be able to raise my arms again.{S}
 What do such words even mean?{S}
 Still, I owe you my life... and now that I look, I see you bear no livery from my father, so... to whom should I direct my gratitude?{S}
 Then...my father did not send you?{S}
 Do not leave me here!{S}
 Get me out of here!{S}
 Does that mean there is a reward for saving you?{S}
 That does not matter.{S}
 I swear, Loghain will not get away with this.{S}
 Your pain has been avenged.{S}
 I do not know...I can ask quite a lot.{S}
 Unless your father's Arl Eamon, he did not send me.{S}
 I have been waiting weeks for this opportunity.{S}
 You never hear music in the sound of a key turning in a lock until you have been imprisoned.{S}
 And you... must be Duncan's last recruit.{S}
 It will do neither of us good to be caught at the site of a massacre.{S}
 I will seek you out later--after I find a good physician.{S}
 We have been staying with Arl Eamon, at his estate.{S}
 If you need a place to stay, I am sure he would make you welcome.{S}
 The names of the dead I could recognize at Ostagar.{S}
 What I could find of Duncan's own recruitment records.{S}
 Copies of the Joining ritual I rescued from our Denerim vault.{S}
 The Grey Wardens have long maintained a vault in Denerim, with spare supplies for battle.{S}
 When I went there recently, it had clearly been tampered with -- presumably by Loghain -- but it remained impermeable.{S}
 You can find the vault in the Market District.{S}
 Help yourself to anything you find inside.{S}
 Would that I could, for Ferelden sorely needs them.{S}
 But for the Joining to work, the recruit needs not only fresh darkspawn blood, but a drop of blood preserved from an archdemon.{S}
 Ferelden's supply should have been in the vault, but it was gone.{S}
 I can only imagine someone took it out and Loghain either confiscated or destroyed it.{S}
 As you know, the Joining's chance of success is slim anyway.{S}
 Loghain has done far worse to the Wardens than cut us off from recruiting.{S}
 The Grey Wardens have been out of favor before.{S}
 It has always behooved us to guard our secrets with a certain amount of misdirection.{S}
 Take the vault, for instance.{S}
 With an offer of hospitality and a poisoned chalice.{S}
 I was fool enough to think Loghain did not yet know who I was.{S}
 For the most part, attempting to hold my tongue.{S}
 The king had invited all the Wardens of Orlais and their support troops to join him, then... nothing.{S}
 We had two hundred Wardens and two dozen divisions of cavalry.{S}
 That was when the rumor reached us that Wardens were being blamed for the massacre.{S}
 As a native Fereldan, I volunteered to make the crossing.{S}
 If they spend themselves against Loghain, there is truly no hope.{S}
 If Ferelden is too foolish to save itself, at least we will be ready when the archdemon leads its forces further.{S}
 Besides, I hear you haven't been doing badly at raising an army yourself.{S}
 Do you think you could--Alistair?{S}
 I do know you.{S}
 You were at my Joining.{S}
 I am glad you made it safely away.{S}
 I hear Howe's death has already brought no small amount of cheer to the city.{S}
 We will have to talk again when the Landsmeet is more settled.{S}
 When I am well enough, I am going to continue my journey toward Ostagar.{S}
 If we want to defeat this archdemon, we need to know where it is and how soon it might strike.{S}
 Well, I would be happy to tell you what I know, but it seems to me that you have picked the important parts up yourself.{S}
 The important thing to remember is, none of that matters.{S}
 When you are facing darkspawn, all you need to know is to stop them at all costs.{S}
 Now, if you will excuse me, I have to see Arl Eamon's physician.{S}
 I have a burn on my back that is stinging something fierce.{S}
 Archdemons do not awaken on their own, you know.{S}
 It takes the darkspawn, tunneling and tunneling, searching for centuries, to find one.{S}
 And with no one to lead them, it must be sheer chance, or maybe instinct which leads them.{S}
 What is surprising is not that it take so long between Blights; what is surprising is that they succeed at all.{S}
 It was near twelve hundred years ago, and no one knows for sure except that it began with a group of Ander soldiers.{S}
 But they had picked up followers by then, and it was they who formally founded the order and were recognized by Thedas.{S}
 They are a cold group, and do not care like they should about the rest of the world.{S}
 Their king is weak and many Anders look to the Wardens to rule.{S}
 Only the fortress in Weisshaupt has every record.{S}
 It is almost like the archdemon chose Ferelden deliberately, knowing how unguarded it is.{S}
 We went through our Joining together, more years ago than I like to remember.{S}
 I think he understood, sooner than the rest of us, how ugly a choice it is to let the few be sacrificed to protect the many.{S}
 Always left himself a soft spot for his recruits, though.{S}
 Only way he ever let himself down.{S}
 I will sketch out the code which will let you past the lock-wheel.{S}
 Inside, you can take your pick of whatever equipment remains.{S}
 It is the stockpile the Wardens have kept for centuries for the defense of Denerim.{S}
 The code I gave you should let you inside easily enough.{S}
 It looks as though you are no worse for the wear after your stay in Fort Drakon.{S}
 What can we do now?{S}
 Can I get into the vault?{S}
 The Joining ritual?{S}
 Then we need to get it back.{S}
 How did Arl Howe capture you?{S}
 How large a force did you bring with you?{S}
 Will we have no help?{S}
 Why has it been so long since the last Blight?{S}
 Have you ever been to the fortress in Weisshaupt?{S}
 Did you know Duncan very well?{S}
 I need to get going.{S}
 I feel like I have spent half my life down here.{S}
 Will... will I have to flee the city now?{S}
 When I tried to rescue her...{S}
 I do not remember.{S}
 I do not know if she is even still alive.{S}
 Then who is ruling...?{S}
 There have been... many changes since they caught me.{S}
 I need to find out what happened.{S}
 I-I need to get home.{S}
 I wish I had more than gratitude to offer.{S}
 What in the name of the forgotten gods are you doing here?{S}
 What a relief to know you care.{S}
 And when exactly did you think I would get out?{S}
 Been having a good time playing Grey Warden, Cousin, while I have been rotting here for <emp>your</emp> crimes?{S}
 I mean <emp>you</emp> trying to make a deal with your own would-be rapist, and never thinking he would turn it against you.{S}
 I mean <emp>you</emp> trying to make a deal with your own bride's rapist, and never thinking he might stab you in the back over it.{S}
 I mean <emp>you</emp> killing Arl Urien's only son, and then kept your mouth shut while they blamed it on me.{S}
 And what was he going to do?{S}
 Now are you just going to stand there gaping, or are you going to let me out of this bloody cell?{S}
 Then you have forgotten.{S}
 I thought you might have when month after month passed and you never came to find me.{S}
 I am so touched you remember.{S}
 That guard always carries the key.{S}
 Now are you going to get me out or not?{S}
 I have been here so long...{S}
 I hope you end your days in a cell just like this!{S}
 Why did not you come for me sooner, Cousin?{S}
 You had the Grey Wardens on your side, you could have taken it to the king.{S}
 I thought, "She will find a way."{S}
 I-I do not even know how long I have been down here.{S}
 I hear more guards down that way, and I do not want to be here when they notice you.{S}
 Alarith should be willing to give me shelter in his store.{S}
 As if months of my life, all the pain and the rotten food and the insults and the torture, as if it is something you can buy.{S}
 You owed me my freedom.{S}
 You can not buy me that easily.{S}
 Now I need to get back to the Alienage and find out what is been happening to Valora and my family.{S}
 I suppose that is no more than you owe me.{S}
 But do not think it makes up for abandoning me here.{S}
 The humans must have torn through the Alienage like a scythe.{S}
 So that is why... a lot of elves have been brought here recently, but they all disappear within a night.{S}
 I mean, when the girls were taken, you led the charge to get them back.{S}
 I thought, "He will never abandon me."{S}
 I did not thank you before, did I?{S}
 A few of us went to take back what he stole from us.{S}
 I got captured.{S}
 I suppose I got off easy, in a way.{S}
 I have seen a few sick people since I have been back, but I do not know how bad it really is.{S}
 You will have to excuse me if I seem a little <emp>skeptical</emp> that a total stranger would break me out of prison for no reason.{S}
 It is sort of a shock to come home and find things this way...{S}
 It is rare they bring anything but trouble into the Alienage.{S}
 Arl Howe led troops in here to celebrate his appointment to the arling of Denerim.{S}
 And when the soldiers left, the plague took over.{S}
 Between the civil war and Ostagar, the city does not have enough soldiers left to seal the Alienage.{S}
 And only elves and refugees have gotten sick.{S}
 I am sure that if anyone important gets the plague, the Alienage will burn.{S}
 Some men from Tevinter have come with magic that protects you from getting sick.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You can only find out for certain if it <emp>does not</emp> work.{S}
 And no one wants to put it to a serious test.{S}
 I am sure you have already had enough of the warm alienage welcome.{S}
 Her family spent all of her bride-price on her travel back.{S}
 I do not know any more than that.{S}
 They said... they said she had the plague.{S}
 I did not believe it, I mean, she was fine!{S}
 But they took her to quarantine.{S}
 I do not know for certain.{S}
 I think she had the plague.{S}
 She had the plague.{S}
 The healers took him into quarantine a few days ago.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I think... they took him to the quarantine, but I can not find out for sure.{S}
 Can not get out of here fast enough, can you?{S}
 Arl Howe led a purge.{S}
 The new arl led a purge...{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 They say they have magic that protects healthy people, and they have got a quarantine for the sick.{S}
 They... they took Valendrian and your father, both.{S}
 Well, it does not matter now.{S}
 The damage is done.{S}
 You and I know that, but Arl Howe says "elven insurgents" killed Vaughan, and it is not like we can prove otherwise.{S}
 Things have been... difficult since you have been gone.{S}
 I would try to repay you if I could, but I think you are better off not being seen with me.{S}
 What else do you want?{S}
 Did you need something, Cousin?{S}
 She spends most of her time at the hospice, screaming obscenities at the Tevinters.{S}
 Alarith would not close his shop, even if the Maker arrived and started juggling in the square.{S}
 He will not let me in the door, though.{S}
 And I doubt he will have any kind words for you, either.{S}
 If I did not owe you for freeing me, I would call the guards.{S}
 So once again, you get what you want and leave the rest of us in the fire.{S}
 Well done, Cousin.{S}
 I can not believe you did all that for us.{S}
 You are free.{S}
 Now do not waste my time.{S}
 Get out of here.{S}
 I have no time to waste.{S}
 Loghain rules in his place.{S}
 I do not have time for this now.{S}
 Hold a moment.{S}
 First let us get you out of there.{S}
 Have you been here since...?{S}
 What do you mean, my crimes?{S}
 Almost died, then got blamed for killing the king.{S}
 I thought Valendrian would get you out.{S}
 Let me get the key.{S}
 You should get somewhere safe.{S}
 What can I do to make this up to you?{S}
 Let me at least give you your share of Vaughn's money.{S}
 Let me at least give you some money to start a new life.{S}
 I do not need a reward.{S}
 Why do not you tell me what is going on, then?{S}
 What is being done about the plague?{S}
 The Chantry allowed foreign magic here?{S}
 Does this magical treatment work?{S}
 Why did not she stay?{S}
 Are you sure she could not have been sick?{S}
 Is not anything being done?{S}
 Howe put Vaughan in the dungeons.{S}
 But we did not kill Vaughan!{S}
 Is Alarith still open?{S}
 You can not do this to me!{S}
 I will have you all flayed!{S}
 When the riots started, Howe came with men to reinforce the garrison here.{S}
 As soon as I let him into the palace, he threw me in here.{S}
 Let me out of here!{S}
 I will do anything.{S}
 When I get out of here, I will find you, you bastard!{S}
 Let me out!{S}
 Free me, and the key is yours.{S}
 If I give you the key, you will leave me here.{S}
 Anything, just let me out!{S}
 Every now and then they start to think they are people, and you have to put them back in their proper place.{S}
 They are prickly and take offense at anything.{S}
 It is only their laziness that keeps them from being trouble most of the time.{S}
 Listen, knife-ears, we can make another deal, can not we?{S}
 Let me out of here, and I can give you anything you want.{S}
 Just name it.{S}
 I can pay!{S}
 When I get out, I will burn the Alienage to the ground!{S}
 Do you hear me?{S}
 When I get out, I will burn the Alienage to the ground, do you hear me?{S}
 Free me, and you will have an arl's gratitude!{S}
 I do not have more than that...{S}
 Howe spent most of my fortune on mercenaries.{S}
 Free me, and I will give you the key.{S}
 Sell it?{S}
 I do not have that much!{S}
 Free me, and the key is yours.{S}
 No, open the door first, then you will get the key.{S}
 What choice do I have?{S}
 Now please, let me out!{S}
 Why would I do that?{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 Now open the door!{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 Listen, knife-ears, we can make another deal, can not we?{S}
 Let me out of here, and I can give you anything you want: coin, women, just name it.{S}
 Let me out!{S}
 I will make boots from your hide!{S}
 Let me out of here!{S}
 When I get out of here, I will find you!{S}
 What are you doing in there?{S}
 Give me the key first, then I will open the door.{S}
 A Landsmeet has been called, I need your voice.{S}
 What caused the elves to rebel?{S}
 I should have killed you earlier. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 Offer me something.{S}
 Is that all you have?{S}
 I will settle for what you owe me, then.{S}
 Sell off some of your estate, then.{S}
 Give me what you have, then.{S}
 You have a deal. <act>Release him.</act>{S}
 Key first, then I will let you out.{S}
 If I let you out, you will abdicate and join the Chantry.{S}
 You can spend the rest of your life atoning, or rot in here.{S}
 I am not letting you out.{S}
 I <emp>will</emp> make sure you have kept your word. <act>Release him</act>{S}
 I think you got what you deserve.{S}
 You kept the last deal so well.{S}
 How did you end up in there?{S}
 There are a few places in the Market District that can probably serve you.{S}
 You will have to look somewhere else.{S}
 Well, I might be able to help you, depending on what you need.{S}
 They have come to deal with the plague.{S}
 What did you want to know, exactly?{S}
 They have magic that protects you.{S}
 Who is to say they do?{S}
 Maybe they would let us all rot if they could.{S}
 They do not want our sickness spreading to their people.{S}
 That is why they have come.{S}
 Refugees carried the sickness here from West Hills and Lothering.{S}
 I have heard that along the Imperial Highway, there is so many dead the vultures have gotten too fat to fly.{S}
 They came to treat the Blight plague.{S}
 You did know about the plague, did not you?{S}
 I suppose in the Imperium they use magic to boil water and cross the street.{S}
 It is supposed to keep you from getting sick.{S}
 If you are already ill, though... well, they take you into quarantine.{S}
 Do not think they will let you in, though.{S}
 No one who is gone in has come out again.{S}
 Could be they have recovered, and just can not come back yet.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Either you do not get the plague because you got their magic put on you, or you do not get it because you just got lucky.{S}
 I can not imagine that it does.{S}
 Although the mages of the Imperium are renowned for their skill, there are no spells I know of that can do such a thing.{S}
 They do not want it spreading to the Imperium.{S}
 The plague made it to Denerim from the south by trade routes, after all.{S}
 Do catastrophes come in different sizes?{S}
 All you can hope is that when the last person in your house takes sick, he will open a window--so the smell will bring someone to take your bodies out for burial.{S}
 I do not know what it is like where you are from, but everyone here is family.{S}
 I do not think I have ever seen you before.{S}
 Oh, a few odds and ends.{S}
 Just... do not mention them to the guards, would you?{S}
 Do not be a stranger!{S}
 I might have a few things for sale.{S}
 Lad, your father got sick.{S}
 But do not worry, the Tevinters know magic better than anyone.{S}
 Lass, your father took sick.{S}
 I am not saying you should not have done that, but... well, you should not have done that.{S}
 It will only bring more trouble here.{S}
 Men like Vaughan and Howe do not wait for a reason to do harm.{S}
 There are plenty of men in this world who do not need an excuse to do harm.{S}
 When things quieted down again... well, then people started getting sick.{S}
 The whole household gets it.{S}
 Healers have come from Tevinter with magic to stop the plague.{S}
 If the Chantry did not send these healers away, it must be safe.{S}
 You will have to ask her if you want answers.{S}
 They came to help treat the plague.{S}
 No one's got it outside of refugees and a few alienage families.{S}
 But when it gets into a household, everyone dies.{S}
 She is come in here raving about the quarantine a few times, but I did not really follow it.{S}
 You will have to ask her yourself.{S}
 If you already have the plague, magic will not just cure you.{S}
 They have to take you away, so you do not spread sickness to anyone else.{S}
 Where do you think?{S}
 How would we do that, exactly?{S}
 With the arl's only son dead, the arling of Denerim was given to some north country arl.{S}
 Howe, I think his name is.{S}
 To teach us a lesson in deference, they said.{S}
 There are good people in this world who just can not sleep nights unless they can put a reason to everything that happens.{S}
 They had to blame somebody for the soldiers.{S}
 They pointed their fingers at Soris, said it was the two of you who brought this down on our heads.{S}
 They pointed their fingers at Soris, said it was the two of you who brought this down on our heads.{S}
 They have spit, sworn, and thrown rocks at the lad, and that is the friendlier folk.{S}
 Soris has been staying out of sight lately.{S}
 Did you really think Shianni would not tell us what you would done?{S}
 You sold her!{S}
 Sold all the girls as if they were chattel!{S}
 Get out of my shop.{S}
 I do not want to look at you anymore.{S}
 Have you been to see Shianni and Soris yet?{S}
 And would it kill you to let us know you are alive, once in a while?{S}
 You will have to go somewhere else.{S}
 Was there something else you needed?{S}
 Did you need something else?{S}
 Of course, just keep it quiet.{S}
 I told you to get out, and I meant it.{S}
 I heard all about what you did to those Tevinters.{S}
 Nice work!{S}
 I heard about what you did to those humans packing!{S}
 You would think I would stop being surprised by the things you can do eventually.{S}
 I just do not know what to make of you.{S}
 What, did the Tevinters just not offer you enough money to sell us out this time?{S}
 What are they doing about the plague?{S}
 Why would Tevinters care what happens here?{S}
 Where did this plague come from?{S}
 What kind of treatment do these Tevinters have?{S}
 Does the magic work?{S}
 There is not any healing magic I know that works that way.{S}
 Why would Tevinters care about a plague in Ferelden?{S}
 Have you lost family to the plague?{S}
 What do you sell?{S}
 I would better get going.{S}
 I took responsibility!{S}
 What is being done to stop it?{S}
 Where can I find these healers?{S}
 What does she want with them?{S}
 What are Tevinter healers doing here?{S}
 What does Shianni suspect?{S}
 Why did not anyone get him out?{S}
 My father probably does not mind the houseguest.{S}
 Can I have a look at your wares?{S}
 Please, what do you want from me?{S}
 Look, I am leaving, and you should do the same.{S}
 I knew I should not have cut through here.{S}
 Please, do not talk to me.{S}
 You are lucky they did not kill you.{S}
 Let us out of here!{S}
 No, please let us out first!{S}
 They take the sick ones out as soon as they come in.{S}
 I do not know, and I do not want to find out.{S}
 Maker keep you.{S}
 You do not have to say that twice.{S}
 It does not matter.{S}
 Shianni said... well, it does not matter.{S}
 We are getting out of here.{S}
 They took him a few hours ago.{S}
 They took him away already.{S}
 We do not know where, exactly.{S}
 Will you let us out now?{S}
 How do I know you do not have the plague?{S}
 I am getting you out of there. <act>Open cages</act>{S}
 Do you know what happens to the people they take?{S}
 You should get out of here.{S}
 What did they say about me?{S}
 Maker, how can they keep us all waiting like this?{S}
 What is taking so long?{S}
 Do you two see something out of place here?{S}
 I do not want any trouble, I am just on my way to the docks.{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 You think you can buy us?{S}
 You think we are so far beneath you, we will just take whatever you give us?{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 There is something I should give you.{S}
 They took him on the ships yesterday.{S}
 She would be... well, "proud" really does not describe it.{S}
 What have you got to do with him?{S}
 We do not hear that much.{S}
 There is something I should give you.{S}
 Why would you have anything to do with <emp>us</emp>?{S}
 Neither did Shianni.{S}
 Do you think that makes everything all right?{S}
 I think we are done here.{S}
 Let me get a look at you.{S}
 Maker, do not they feed you Wardens?{S}
 I should have given it to you before you left, but with all the trouble, I did not get the chance.{S}
 If it looks a little messy, it is because I had to pull up the floorboards to get this out for you.{S}
 I had this put away for... well, for a long time.{S}
 If I would been thinking straight at the time, I would given it to you before you left with Duncan.{S}
 I think you should have it now.{S}
 I know you will do great things.{S}
 You already do.{S}
 Sit down and eat something.{S}
 Do not they feed Grey Wardens?{S}
 You would better get out of here.{S}
 I could not let them hurt my family.{S}
 Why did they take you?{S}
 I am trying to stop the regent.{S}
 Well, he is trying to kill me.{S}
 I need the army to help stop the Blight.{S}
 I am trying to stop Loghain.{S}
 I made one mistake.{S}
 I do not deserve all this.{S}
 You know, I did just save you from slavery.{S}
 What did you want to see me about?{S}
 Did Soris mess anything up while you were gone?{S}
 You said you had something for me?{S}
 We have got another one.{S}
 Five sovereigns to the one who brings down the Warden!{S}
 Go join the other elves before I drag your ass over there.{S}
 Get out of my face, elf.{S}
 I have got children at home!{S}
 What is wrong, shem, did you get bored and decide to come watch the elves die of plague?{S}
 Your kind do not leave the Market District.{S}
 Both my sisters got the Tevinter spell cast on them, and they are fine.{S}
 They will not just let you in.{S}
 I guess it is worth trying.{S}
 You can try.{S}
 But it does not work if you are already ill.{S}
 So they set up a quarantine.{S}
 These foreigners have taken dozens of elves into that house over the last few weeks, and none of them have been seen again.{S}
 And I do not know what we are going to do if we do not get him back.{S}
 I do not believe it.{S}
 Valendrian even held a funeral for you.{S}
 Both my sisters got protections from the plague, and they are fine!{S}
 I know you haven't been here... you have a lot of catching up to do, I guess.{S}
 Not one elf they have taken in there has come out again.{S}
 I know nobody can come out, but why not let some of the supposedly "protected" people go in?{S}
 If this magic of theirs really works, there is no reason we could not.{S}
 People came here fleeing the darkspawn, bringing Blight sickness with them.{S}
 They took him!{S}
 These Tevinters took him into that house days ago, and no one's seen him since!{S}
 They said he had the plague.{S}
 But he did not, Cousin, he was healthy as a war hound.{S}
 And now they have got him, and will not let anyone see him.{S}
 They are educated men, Shianni; they would know if he had the plague.{S}
 And it is not as if Valendrian would make a show of illness even if he were on his deathbed.{S}
 People fleeing the darkspawn brought it with them.{S}
 After the refugees arrived, people here got sick.{S}
 And these Tevinter vultures began circling, taking people out of the Alienage a few at a time.{S}
 I knew you would do something, Cousin!{S}
 Magic can not just make it go away, but it can keep you from getting it, if you are healthy.{S}
 And every day, the Tevinters pull someone out of the line and take them to quarantine.{S}
 A lot of those quarantined people make you look like you are on your last legs, Cousin.{S}
 The Tevinters take them away, and we never see them again.{S}
 It is just so few seem to be sick compared to all the seemingly healthy people they take.{S}
 Many of the people they take away are not sick.{S}
 You have to believe me!{S}
 He is all that holds this place together.{S}
 You do not flinch from anything, Cousin, but...{S}
 But you have to know.{S}
 Her family spent all of the dowry your father paid on bringing her home.{S}
 She came to the healers here for protection from the plague, and they took her to quarantine.{S}
 The guards took him away.{S}
 The humans need to make an example of someone, Cousin, and it could not be you.{S}
 They have... probably hung him by now.{S}
 How would we do that?{S}
 I would be happy to lead the charge, Cousin, but... well, it is probably too late now.{S}
 They blame <emp>Soris</emp> as if he were responsible for what the new arl did to us.{S}
 They think that since this is the way things have always been, there is nothing to do but make the most of it.{S}
 They do not know how to change anything.{S}
 What could we have done, anyway?{S}
 The arl's got armored soldiers!{S}
 We have got nothing!{S}
 Do not bother arguing with him, Cousin; you will be here for days.{S}
 And I still have more to tell you.{S}
 Some of them tried to blame you.{S}
 But it is just not <emp>satisfying</emp> to sling mud at someone who is not around to get hit.{S}
 It is not safe for him to even set foot outside, now.{S}
 Some of them do, but you were not here.{S}
 And I have a meaner right hook than Soris does.{S}
 You just do not care how much trouble you bring down on us, do you?{S}
 Who brought Vaughan here in the first place?{S}
 Tell me what we did to deserve that, and maybe I will start caring what you think.{S}
 We fight back, or we submit, but it does not change anything.{S}
 And I would still have more to tell you, Cousin.{S}
 All these gifts, and it is not even my naming day.{S}
 You do not know?{S}
 Oh--of course you do not!{S}
 The first thing this human did was march troops in here for a purge.{S}
 So we should take everything the humans say at face value?{S}
 Cousin, you have no idea... the things that happened after your wedding...{S}
 After what you did, you have got some nerve showing your face around here again!{S}
 I suppose it is worth something that you found Soris and let him out.{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 Do you even care that your father's missing?{S}
 How do you even know they are working magic?{S}
 How many of our brothers and sisters and children have these men already taken?{S}
 Did not the wedding teach you people anything?{S}
 We have to help ourselves.{S}
 Crowding around here is what will make you sick!{S}
 It is got only one guard.{S}
 Some of the elves ran out... but I did not recognize any of them!{S}
 Valora's... the healers took her into quarantine a week ago.{S}
 There wasn't really anything here for her, and her family spent all of the bride price they were paid to get her back.{S}
 I would try the side entrance in the alley.{S}
 Well that is... one way of getting through the front door.{S}
 Let me see that.{S}
 What does this even mean?{S}
 People go in, but they do not come out.{S}
 They are not shipping anything out of there that we have seen.{S}
 They have taken dozens of us into quarantine...{S}
 It makes no sense!{S}
 Please let me know if you find the others.{S}
 You did a good thing, here.{S}
 It can not have visitors.{S}
 I think I will go take a look inside the hospice.{S}
 Do you have a better idea?{S}
 I will try talking to the healers.{S}
 What do you mean "protections from the plague?"{S}
 They have my father?{S}
 How long has this quarantine been going on?{S}
 If Valendrian is sick, it makes sense that we can not see him.{S}
 All right, I am going to have a look inside this hospice.{S}
 Well, what can the Tevinters do about a plague?{S}
 But why would they do that?{S}
 That does not mean they are not carrying the plague.{S}
 Let me look into this, Shianni.{S}
 Do not do anything rash.{S}
 Have you seen Soris?{S}
 I thought Valendrian would have him released by now.{S}
 I did not think they would keep him this long.{S}
 How can they do that?{S}
 What does my father think of all this?{S}
 Why did not Valendrian do something?{S}
 If Valendrian heard that, you would never hear the end of it.{S}
 Do not hold back, tell me how you really feel.{S}
 I found this note...{S}
 Have you seen them bring anything out of the hospice?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I did not see any patients.{S}
 My wife and both our daughters are gone. <desc>Coughs</desc> Someone's got to stay to watch our house.{S}
 I will not go to the hospice. <desc>Coughs</desc> You can not make me!{S}
 You do that.{S}
 Someone get out here and help me!{S}
 I will take my chances with the plague, thank you, if it means I get paid.{S}
 I have been hungry.{S}
 The novelty's worn off.{S}
 I did not make the Blight, or the plague, or anything.{S}
 I am just trying to make a living.{S}
 Not enough to put up with all these questions.{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 Make it twelve, and you have a deal.{S}
 Did not I already tell you to leave?{S}
 Sorry, but I need to get in there. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 Are not you afraid of getting the plague yourself?{S}
 Keeping your people from their families does not bother you?{S}
 How much do they pay you?{S}
 Would you let me in that house for six sovereigns?{S}
 I have got a cheaper way in. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 I have got your twelve sovereigns.{S}
 Let me in.{S}
 Hold.{S}
 We have the situation in hand.{S}
 There is no need.{S}
 It would be a waste of our mages' strength when many need it more.{S}
 This one has the plague!{S}
 Take him to quarantine then.{S}
 Take her to quarantine then.{S}
 We must get you inside before you spread this to others.{S}
 There are no visitors allowed in quarantine.{S}
 If he is within the quarantine, nothing can be done.{S}
 You would carry the plague out in your clothes and your hair, even if you are protected from illness yourself.{S}
 This name means nothing to us.{S}
 Perhaps you should take your questions to our healers.{S}
 We have come in good will from the Imperium of Tevinter to end the plague that spreads here.{S}
 Do not linger here unless you have received our mages' protection.{S}
 This plague takes the strong as easily as the weak.{S}
 We have many more elves to treat before this plague is over.{S}
 Go join the others and we will keep this civil.{S}
 Get out of my way, or I will go through you.{S}
 Can not I get this protection spell the elves are getting?{S}
 Is this where the quarantined elves are kept?{S}
 You can not keep me from going in there. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 How are you treating the plague?{S}
 How do we know you foreigners did not bring the plague here?{S}
 You do not look like a Tevinter.{S}
 I would not have thought I was worth anything, either.{S}
 But apparently, the Tevinters have a market for storytellers.{S}
 Shianni... did she send you here?{S}
 Free?{S}
 Come, everyone, let us go home.{S}
 Somehow, if I would been asked to guess the next person to walk through that door, I would not have said it would be a dwarf.{S}
 We have heard much of the Blight in the south, and that is undoubtedly more on your mind than our alienage.{S}
 Please, take this.{S}
 Duncan gave it to me years ago.{S}
 I suspect you will put it to better use than I would.{S}
 We have been through outbreaks of pestilence during the war with Orlais.{S}
 I doubt very much now that the Tevinter intervention would have helped us anyway.{S}
 From the look on your face, I take it the news is bad.{S}
 I had hoped Duncan might be one of them.{S}
 He came here now and then to look for potential recruits.{S}
 I do not care what you do now.{S}
 Why would slavers take an old man?{S}
 You should get back there, then.{S}
 You are free now.{S}
 I do not really have time to chat.{S}
 What will you do about the plague now?{S}
 How did you know Duncan?{S}
 Some of these people are carrying the plague.{S}
 If we did not know how to prevent the plague, we would not be here now.{S}
 There is no need to push!{S}
 We will work our spell for each person in--{S}
 How long have you been ill, man?{S}
 You should have come here days ago!{S}
 Hessarian's mercy, how long have you been ill, woman?{S}
 You should have come here days ago!{S}
 Come, we must get you into quarantine.{S}
 You may not yet feel it, but anyone can tell by looking that you have been infected.{S}
 All Blight diseases carry some of the taint, and in you it is as obvious as blood in a bowl of water.{S}
 The time has passed for magic.{S}
 We must get you into quarantine.{S}
 Take him down.{S}
 Take her down.{S}
 We cannot allow you to put all these other people at risk.{S}
 We must get you into quarantine immediately.{S}
 We do not wish to put the rest of these people at risk.{S}
 You have already been told to leave.{S}
 Please, do not waste any more of our time.{S}
 How did he get out?{S}
 What is she doing out here?{S}
 Are not you afraid of getting the plague?{S}
 Come to think of it, I have been feeling run-down.{S}
 Actually, I do feel a little strange.{S}
 You are not taking me in there! <act>Attack</act>{S}
 We have no time for interruptions.{S}
 Deal with this intruder.{S}
 We have no time for interruptions.{S}
 Deal with these intruders.{S}
 I see we are to have an interruption after all.{S}
 And you, I assume, must be the Grey Warden I have heard so much about.{S}
 If that requires that you and I come to some terms, then so be it.{S}
 One can hardly get a word out of Regent Loghain besides "Warden" these days.{S}
 I have heard that you are trying to erode Loghain's support.{S}
 Perhaps you could use some help.{S}
 I do not care who you are; you are going to die.{S}
 Get to the point.{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 What "terms" did you have in mind?{S}
 You have heard of me?{S}
 What exactly have you heard?{S}
 How do you know Loghain?{S}
 "The one who repents, who has faith unshaken by the darkness of the world, and roasts not, nor gloats over the misfortunes of the weak, but takes delight in the Maker's law and creations--"{S}
 The Light shall lead her safely through the paths of this world, and into the next."{S}
 "The Veal holds no uncertainty for her, and she will know no fear of death, for the Maker shall be her bacon and her shield, her foundation and her--"{S}
 There is no veal in the Chant! ...You are doing this on purpose, are not you?{S}
 What she <emp>means</emp> is, "In Andraste's name, be welcome."{S}
 What would <emp>Andraste</emp> do?{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 It is nearly mealtime, but I have a few minutes I can spare.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 What, as if it is a cake you might buy?{S}
 "Well, it is done enough, but a little too much nutmeg for my taste..."{S}
 What do you want to know?{S}
 "To satisfy its hunger, the mage-lords assaulted the Golden City, heart of all creation, to take the Maker's power for themselves."{S}
 Why does no one ever sing the <emp>good</emp> stanzas during Chantry services anymore?{S}
 Well, you get the general idea, I am sure.{S}
 There is no need to be rude to anyone, even if they are ignorant and godless!{S}
 You just do not know anything about the Chant and you do not have any gods.{S}
 The official version of the Chant does not speak of the elves.{S}
 Some of the Dissonant Verses, however, do mention the disciple Shartan.{S}
 Some ideas are lost in the process of translation, and words take on unintended meanings... there is a dreadful pun in the Orlesian version in the Canticle of Threnodies...{S}
 He was given to the flames alongside Our Lady.{S}
 Divine Renata had the verses removed during the Exalted March on the Dales.{S}
 The Chant has changed over time.{S}
 Some of the verses that were sung in the past were taken out.{S}
 They are no longer sung, though scholars still sometimes read them.{S}
 You should have heard Brother Caedmon sing it, though!{S}
 He had a voice like a bucket full of toads.{S}
 Revered Mother Boann, bless her heart, always said, "If we had more voices like his, the Maker could not fail to take note of us."{S}
 We do not speak of that.{S}
 He took off all his clothes in the middle of the Chant one Summerday and ran into the street.{S}
 I would not mess up the words if you would not keep interrupting me!{S}
 If she does not catch your blasphemous mistakes, it is because she did not hear them!{S}
 Does not the Chant say, "You may not lie, for there is only one Truth"?{S}
 I should leave you to your work.{S}
 What does the Chant say about darkspawn?{S}
 Does the Chant mention dwarves?{S}
 Does the Chant mention elves?{S}
 He sang it well, I take it.{S}
 I do not remember the Chant having any passages about bacon.{S}
 In the name of Andraste, bride of the Maker, be welcome in this house.{S}
 While the Cathedral is closed, if you need to make wedding or funeral arrangements, you will have to talk to Sister Olma.{S}
 Did someone die?{S}
 "That which you fear... living in the shadow of death alone, I have seen it is only a cloud... passing before the sun."{S}
 We have had a funeral every day for a lost son or daughter of Denerim, and we have many more yet to hold.{S}
 He should have retired to Val Royeaux years ago, but he wanted to stay and serve the remainder of his days in his homeland.{S}
 It is the lyrium that does this.{S}
 "Blessed are they who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter."{S}
 He does not forget who he is, even if he can not remember anything else.{S}
 I have heard that... somewhere before...{S}
 Lyrium did this to him?{S}
 Why does not he stop taking it?{S}
 We sell only the strongest dwarven steel, folded over a hundred times in the forges of Orzammar.{S}
 I will answer what I can, but my policy is not to sell things that do not belong to me.{S}
 In such a time, surely a lady such as yourself could use some extra protection on the road.{S}
 In times like this, surely your group could use some extra protection on the road.{S}
 And better suited to your hand than anything else you could find in this city.{S}
 And neither did your father.{S}
 He asked me... to give you the Shield of Aeducan.{S}
 Every word seemed as if it had traveled the entire length of the Deep Roads.{S}
 "Find my son.{S}
 "Find my daughter.{S}
 I hated the king myself, for what he did to you.{S}
 Until that moment, I had hated him for believing Bhelen, for exiling you, but If you had seen him...{S}
 If you had heard his voice...{S}
 I have carried them with me since I left Orzammar.{S}
 His eyes have haunted me since.{S}
 If it were possible for a man to die of regret, I think King Endrin did.{S}
 Would that I could have been with you, but the ancestors are far wiser than we.{S}
 I think they have done the best for both of us.{S}
 I have found my heart on the surface.{S}
 My lord, I will be loyal to you until my death, but do not ask me to come with you.{S}
 I have a new life now.{S}
 I married into a surface family.{S}
 I am sure you have pressing business, and I will not keep you from it.{S}
 And harder to believe that it has made me happier than all the glory and honor in Orzammar.{S}
 But you must have more important business than hearing about me.{S}
 Have a look at my father-in-law's crafts.{S}
 All fine work, and I will cut you a discount.{S}
 I would never have tried to hurt you.{S}
 Perhaps it is better for me to wish you the best and let you continue your business in the city.{S}
 But please, let me at least offer you a discount on my father-in-law's crafts.{S}
 They are all fine work.{S}
 My lady, please, do not ask me to come with you.{S}
 My lady... if I had thought to see you again...{S}
 But we both knew it would not truly work out.{S}
 Here on the surface, I have found someone.{S}
 My life has been far less dramatic.{S}
 I--I have married into a surface family.{S}
 Then I thank the ancestors for granting you happiness, as they did for me.{S}
 I heard that Lord Harrowmont took the throne with the assistance of a Grey Warden.{S}
 But I thank the ancestors for their kindness, for I too have found my heart.{S}
 Then I thank the ancestors for their kindness, for I too have found my heart.{S}
 I have learned more from the surface dwarves than they have from me.{S}
 You do your father proud, my lord.{S}
 You do your father proud, my lady.{S}
 You do me great honor, my lord.{S}
 You do me great honor.{S}
 You will not find better.{S}
 I would rather buy information, if you have got any to sell.{S}
 Let me see what is in your store now.{S}
 Show me what you have.{S}
 Did he say anything else?{S}
 I had almost forgotten about it.{S}
 I am here and Harrowmont rules in Orzammar.{S}
 And now you can take your place again as my second.{S}
 Well, when can I meet the lucky girl?{S}
 I do not really have time for a reunion right now.{S}
 I could never find a better man than you.{S}
 I can not believe I have found you here, of all places.{S}
 Now that we are together, you can join me as a Grey Warden.{S}
 I have kept the throne from Bhelen.{S}
 I have got nothing to say to you.{S}
 Do not make me pitch you out.{S}
 Have a seat, get comfortable, and tell me what you need.{S}
 Every one of my people here is a skilled craftsman, and do not let anyone tell you different.{S}
 You will have to go one at a time, I am afraid.{S}
 What can I get for you, honey?{S}
 Now, before you can choose one, let me remind you of the guild rules.{S}
 If you do not play nicely with my people, these boys will have words with you.{S}
 You will pay up front.{S}
 I am getting tired of throwing soldiers off the pier for "forgetting" their coin.{S}
 So, shall I let you get acquainted?{S}
 Come back again, perhaps we will have someone who catches your eye.{S}
 It is forty, and I do not care whose army you are in.{S}
 We have taxes to pay just like everyone else.{S}
 Make it thirty and we have a deal.{S}
 Go ahead and choose, then.{S}
 Now, before you pick one, let us go over the guild rules.{S}
 I am not paying more than twenty silver.{S}
 Very well. <act>Pay 30 silver.</act>{S}
 I am ready. <act>Pay 40 silver.</act> <emp>Return to Orta with the records</emp>{S}
 Bring them to Orta in the Shaperate.{S}
 Can anyone help us with a bit of bread? <emp>Bring the strange flower to the kennel master</emp>{S}
 According to Daveth, the kennel master at the king's camp has been asking for a flower from the Wilds--the very same flower you have just acquired.{S}
 Apparently, the kennel master is offering a reward for this flower, as it is useful in treating darkspawn poison.{S}
 He can be found on the south side of the camp. <emp>Find someone who could use the strange flower you found</emp>{S}
 You gave the flower you found in the Wilds to the kennel master.{S}
 Ask, and I shall do my best to answer.{S}
 Let us talk about Orzammar, Lord Shaper.{S}
 The infected hounds seem to be doing much better, for now.{S}
 Did you happen to see any white flowers?{S}
 If you happen across one, I could certainly use it.{S}
 Several of the dogs need medicine badly.{S}
 I do not know for sure that the flower will aid my poor hounds, but it is worth trying.{S}
 I have... let us see... twenty silver to offer as a reward for it?{S}
 Take fifty silver.{S}
 That is all the money I have.{S}
 If you wish to inquire after him, please come back after the battle's done.{S}
 I have... fifty silver?{S}
 That is my own purse, and I have nothing more.{S}
 Now, I must get onto the task of taking care of the poor fellow.{S}
 It will take a day or two for him to recover, I think.{S}
 You mentioned earlier that you would found a flower in the Wilds.{S}
 But I need your help.{S}
 Daveth mentioned you were offering a reward for one?{S}
 In fact, I have one of them with me.{S}
 If the hound's life is worth anything, then pay up.{S}
 It will have to do, I suppose.{S}
 Is this about the flower I found?{S}
 I actually came to discuss a flower I found.{S}
 You want to be careful picking flowers around the Wilds, mind you.{S}
 The kennel master said this flower can help dogs that get sick from biting darkspawn.{S}
 At any rate, he was offering a reward if someone went into the Wilds and brought him one.{S}
 Why did he want them?{S}
 Do you know?{S}
 What do I care?{S}
 Do not falter!{S}
 I cannot keep up this pace!{S}
 I will need bandaging.{S}
 I need assistance!{S}
 I am done...{S}
 I have lost it!{S}
 This is not working!{S}
 I am ready to serve.{S}
 You should not have!{S}
 Do not say I did not warn you!{S}
 Need some help!{S}
 Make way!{S}
 Done and done-er.{S}
 Need something?{S}
 Try not to stain the shirt.{S}
 Let us not get dead, shall we?{S}
 I am sure I will find some use for this.{S}
 You are, like, the gift-giving party leader I never had. <desc>sniff!</desc>{S}
 So a darkspawn, an abomination and a pony walk into a bar... stop me if you have heard this one.{S}
 Are you trying to get us killed?{S}
 They have opened the gates!{S}
 We are free to go in again!{S}
 We have a king!{S}
 Long live the king of Orzammar... so we do not go through this again.{S}
 I am taking my caravan to Highever, where it is peaceful. <desc>sigh</desc> Perhaps there'll be better trading in Redcliffe.{S}
 How am I supposed to live with no crafts to sell?{S}
 How did <emp>you</emp> get in here?{S}
 Get back to Dust Town where you belong, brand, or I will throw you into the Deep Roads as a snack for the stalkers.{S}
 No... no, do not hurt me!{S}
 If only you had come at a less troubled time.{S}
 They say the darkspawn have left for the surface.{S}
 I haven't eaten in days.{S}
 But... after the way you publicly humiliated my master, do not expect me to feel any sympathy.{S}
 Bruntin Vollney slandered his name all over Orzammar.{S}
 You allowed my mentor to be murdered.{S}
 You destroy a man and it makes no impression...{S}
 How far the line of Aeducan has fallen.{S}
 It seems the ancestors have a keen sense of justice.{S}
 My master is writing another book about the Aeducans; he believes that Prince Bhelen set you up.{S}
 He <emp>did</emp> set me up.{S}
 What do I care what your master is doing?{S}
 Call yourself Warden, but the Paragons in this hall should not have to suffer the sight of you.{S}
 We take courage from them.{S}
 They set such an example, they are considered ancestors even if they still walk among us.{S}
 I do not care about your statues.{S}
 What a terrible burden for a father to have only Bhelen left of three fine sons.{S}
 Did not know Corra was letting in brands.{S}
 Ahhh... you are the one that started all the trouble in the Provings.{S}
 Do not look at me.{S}
 I already offered once.{S}
 You think anyone in Tapsters'll let you lay a hand on me, brand?{S}
 You do not know Branka?{S}
 Has life been hard up there?{S}
 We have bigger things to worry about.{S}
 Leske knows how to take care of himself.{S}
 But... the curse has been lifted, has it not?{S}
 H-how do you know that?{S}
 Did you find her?{S}
 Did you see her in the forest?{S}
 Then I need to look for her.{S}
 Thank you for doing what you could.{S}
 Now it falls on me to find her.{S}
 She could have a broken leg, or... or perhaps she is lost.{S}
 I cannot fault you for slaying the werewolves as you did, but the thought that my wife might have been one of them...{S}
 Get it through your thick skull already.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Do not you think she would have come back by now?{S}
 We owe you thanks for all you have done.{S}
 Let us pray to the Creators, lethallin.{S}
 Would our sons and daughters have died if not for our pride?{S}
 He will come for us in the end, but today he turned a blind eye, and for that, we are thankful.{S}
 I have only just returned to the clan, and from the news, half-expected to find everyone I loved dead.{S}
 It seems I must prepare myself to leave the clan once more.{S}
 I wish I had been here to help fight the beasts off.{S}
 Perhaps they will take it for granted, and forget it soon afterward.{S}
 It is good to see a fellow Dalish has come to our aid in a time of need.{S}
 We owe you a great deal.{S}
 So we have a treaty with your Grey Wardens?{S}
 I do not know why such an old thing binds us today.{S}
 We owe you a great deal, more than simply the ability to fulfill our promise.{S}
 Imagine how much worse this would have become otherwise.{S}
 I did not ask you to find out the papers' history.{S}
 What I recall asking was whether you would prove your loyalty to Bhelen.{S}
 "When from the blood of battle the Stone has fed, let the heroes prevail and the blighters lie dead."{S}
 Let us show them our hearts and then show them theirs.{S}
 Dace <desc>Groan</desc> I... understand that I have you to thank for my... recovery?{S}
 You have the Grey Warden to thank for your recovery.{S}
 I am sorry, da'len, but your father... did not last long enough.{S}
 That would make him very proud, little one.{S}
 I have to move on.{S}
 Raise a glass to our new king!{S}
 Look what I have got!{S}
 Do you have a dress?{S}
 I have a wonderful rose-colored surface silk, trimmed with lace.{S}
 Do you think it will catch the king's eye?{S}
 Does not King Bhelen already have a son?{S}
 He still needs a queen!{S}
 We must get ready!{S}
 I will not allow the warriors that serve my house leave to defend the surface!{S}
 She does not deserve to be queen.{S}
 I have even seen her wearing the same dress twice!{S}
 What do you think of that new King Bhelen, huh?{S}
 Would not take the time to spit on the likes of us.{S}
 And word on the street is he is got no qualms about recruiting brands for his troops.{S}
 During the Blight, he is going to use whatever Orzammar's got.{S}
 I could get behind that.{S}
 Do you know what you have done?{S}
 If you think we are going to let you waltz around like you own the place, you are wrong.{S}
 I have been charged by the keeper to seek out other Dalish clans in Ferelden, so we may spread the word about the Blight.{S}
 The clans wander where they will, and we have no way of communicating with each other.{S}
 Once every ten years, the clans come together for a gathering called Arlathvhen, and there the site for the next gathering is chosen.{S}
 But until that day, we meet only in chance passing.{S}
 We passed another clan several months ago, so I have a notion of where they might be now.{S}
 Perhaps they have seen others, we shall see.{S}
 We do not have an army.{S}
 If we can provide the Grey Wardens with even a handful of clans, you will want for no army.{S}
 The keeper has charged me with finding your clan in the north, to bring them word of the Blight.{S}
 If the Creators smile upon me, I shall find them in time for the coming battles.{S}
 Is there word you wish me to bring to them?{S}
 Ma nuvenin--I will do as you ask.{S}
 Perhaps not, but do you think they would refuse to honor the Grey Warden treaty any more than my own clan would?{S}
 We know your clan went north to the Waking Sea, but even so, the chances of my finding them quickly are not good.{S}
 I have no wish to waste your time.{S}
 Until we meet again, may the Creators watch over you.{S}
 The keeper has charged me with finding your clan in the north, to bring them word of the Blight.{S}
 You do not know for sure where the other Dalish are?{S}
 That does not sound very efficient.{S}
 What are your chances of finding other clans?{S}
 How will the Dalish raise an army that way?{S}
 I have no wish to see them brought into this war.{S}
 I have nothing to say.{S}
 We fled the lowlands to get away from the darkspawn and found the Dalish by chance.{S}
 They... will let us leave again, will not they?{S}
 Thank the Maker the Dalish have given us refuge here amongst them.{S}
 We have nowhere else to go!{S}
 I had no idea this forest was so dangerous!{S}
 The Dalish have been very welcoming.{S}
 The Dalish are preparing to fight, I hear.{S}
 We had hoped to find safety here, not more war.{S}
 I am surprised he let you live.{S}
 And you have tried, I take it?{S}
 I only wanted to get close to Bhelen to get my revenge!{S}
 I only wanted to get close to Bhelen so I could kill him.{S}
 I can not bring Bhelen down on my own.{S}
 I tried to kill Bhelen.{S}
 When do we attack these... creatures you wish us to fight?{S}
 We are <emp>finally</emp> rid of these elves. <desc>Growls</desc> Justice has been done!{S}
 The stench of the elves is still everywhere, here. <desc>Growls</desc> We owe our vengeance to you, Grey Warden.{S}
 Vengeance has been paid upon those who cursed our ancestors.{S}
 I do not look forward to meeting humans outside the forest.{S}
 I do not wish to leave the forest.{S}
 Their beasts should be eaten and their memories erased.{S}
 Others will come to take vengeance for these elves.{S}
 I do not understand why you aided us against them.{S}
 You have our thanks, Grey Warden.{S}
 We must prepare to leave the forest!{S}
 In the name of the Lady!{S}
 Vengeance has been ours, brothers!{S}
 Take what you will!{S}
 And if they choose to defy the Lady of the Forest, if they do not hear her words, they can join their fellows.{S}
 We have all known pain.{S}
 How long will it take them to turn?{S}
 His body is showing evidence of some form of slow transformation.</desc> <desc>The elf flinches from your touch, and then slowly calms.</desc> <act>Put the elf out of his misery.</act> <act>Try to make him more comfortable.</act>{S}
 You show mercy to those who would have shown us none.{S}
 I can take no more.{S}
 You play with me!{S}
 Strike and have it done with!{S}
 You have done it now!{S}
 You have surely done it now! <desc>Maniacal giggling</desc>{S}
 We are done when I gut you for not being more helpful.{S}
 There is no excuse for what you have done!{S}
 Why did you do this to us?{S}
 We offered you our help, and then you lead these monsters down upon us!{S}
 How typical that an outsider brings us nothing but misery and death.{S}
 There were stories, old ones... if they are true then we brought this calamity on ourselves.{S}
 You are owed an... apology.{S}
 Please accept this token, Grey Warden, made by a craftmaster of long ago.{S}
 To bring sad word to the other clans of what has been done.{S}
 I never gave them credit, but now...{S}
 But it seems we brought this on ourselves.{S}
 Have your army of beasts, then.{S}
 May any victory they bring taste only of ashes.{S}
 How dare you sully his name!{S}
 You are an outsider, and like all outsiders you bring nothing but death.{S}
 Where did they go?!{S}
 That makes no difference!{S}
 They have Dalish blood on their hands!{S}
 If they are human once more, that shall make it all the easier to take vengeance for their crimes.{S}
 If they are gone and never return here, then... perhaps it is better to let it simply end there.{S}
 It belonged to my husband, and I... cannot carry it any longer.{S}
 So you side with murderers, do you?{S}
 We, you draft into your ridiculous war, but the true criminals are allowed to run free as if they never did anything wrong.{S}
 If I cannot have their blood, then I will have yours.{S}
 In the name of the God of Vengeance, Elgar'han, I demand justice!{S}
 You did?{S}
 That you took action against those murderers speaks well of you.{S}
 Take this token--it was crafted long ago by a great master.{S}
 Perhaps there are others to still be found, stragglers.{S}
 I do not believe you.{S}
 I think you let them go.{S}
 Then I will have to continue my hunt.{S}
 And you let them go.{S}
 I am Panowen, and my husband numbered amongst those who did not survive to receive your cure.{S}
 We are here seeking stragglers, to mete out justice.{S}
 Allow me to give you a token of thanks.{S}
 My clan owes you a great deal.{S}
 The werewolves will make for a far better army.{S}
 I did not betray you.{S}
 Zathrian did.{S}
 He used blood magic to create the curse in the first place.{S}
 Does it really matter?{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 Do you really care why I did it?{S}
 Look what it did.{S}
 This, my friend, is the Paragon of ales, the best your money can buy.{S}
 Do not go making such offers when you can not pay for it.{S}
 Please do not hurt us.{S}
 My husband, Athras... he fled the clan to find me.{S}
 He begged me to give him the curse so we could be together!{S}
 I pray that he makes it!{S}
 Please, just... let us live in peace.{S}
 Do not you touch him!{S}
 I will not let you touch him!{S}
 I cannot believe it has come to this.{S}
 So long as you join the others in the war, I do not care.{S}
 What you are doing is disgusting!{S}
 Let me just search his body.{S}
 What do you know?{S}
 Prepare for random violence.{S}
 We have more in common than I thought...{S}
 The last scouting party made it back last night.{S}
 Only two of them made it.{S}
 I do not know what to believe.{S}
 We have won every battle, but there is more of them each time.{S}
 Makes you wonder if them Grey Wardens are right.{S}
 Sounds like the perfect time to get drunk, if you ask me.{S}
 If my pa wasn't already in his grave, that'd put him there.{S}
 You think they will leave once this is done, if we ask them nice?{S}
 If they do not, then we keep on fighting, I guess.{S}
 That howling of theirs... gives me nightmares, it does.{S}
 We need to get back on duty, anyhow.{S}
 But do not listen to those old wives' tales... they can be killed.{S}
 Do not even touch it.{S}
 You get tainted with that blood and you may as well slit your throat.{S}
 We have lost many dogs already.{S}
 Had to muzzle them to keep them from biting.{S}
 We are getting reports of things we have never even heard of.{S}
 They are pretty common in the horde, but we have seen others much larger.{S}
 We do not know where these new darkspawn are coming from.{S}
 Or what they can do.{S}
 All I can say is to use caution.{S}
 There are not any we have seen that will not die once they bleed enough.{S}
 We have seen nothing to suggest that the darkspawn drag our people underground to eat them.{S}
 Keep your minds focused on the battle.{S}
 Do not touch the carcass.{S}
 We will be burning it so it does not infect anything.{S}
 Do you not remember?{S}
 Please do not excite yourself so.{S}
 We need to get out of here!{S}
 You will only open your wounds if you continue.{S}
 You... you need to convince them!{S}
 We have got to run!{S}
 We are gonna die!{S}
 He is been like this ever since they found him in the Wilds.{S}
 The commander who brought him here did not seem to think so.{S}
 You need to calm yourself, my good man.{S}
 I do not want to see any more.{S}
 Why do you say that?{S}
 Is it possible he has important information?{S}
 We have them on the run, I hear.{S}
 Ever since they found him in the Wilds, he has been like this.{S}
 Most of these men have been tainted by the darkspawn blood.{S}
 Let us consider the evil before us.{S}
 In their pride, the mages of the ancient Tevinter Imperium sought to open a portal into the heavenly Golden City itself.{S}
 They are man's sins made flesh, an evil that spreads like an illness across our land.{S}
 Let us bow our heads and beg the Maker's forgiveness.{S}
 Let us not be proud, so we may take courage against the darkness.{S}
 Do not abandon us in our darkest hour.{S}
 Watch over Teyrn Loghain and give him the wisdom to bring us victory against the scourge of shadow.{S}
 Keep her people safe from the darkspawn.{S}
 Let us bow our heads and offer prayers to the Maker, that He might find us worthy.{S}
 Should it find you, you will not have failed your king... you will have served your Maker.{S}
 Die in this battle and when you stand before the Maker in the land beyond the Fade, He shall not find you wanting.{S}
 Go not into death gladly, but with the knowledge that evil has been held at bay by your spilled blood.{S}
 My friends, let us bow our heads and remember those who have fallen and those who have yet to fall.{S}
 I must continue my prayer.{S}
 I do not have time to speak at present, thank you.{S}
 I am trying to listen.{S}
 Is it my imagination or is the smell of that forest getting worse?{S}
 They eat our dead.{S}
 That is how they get stronger.{S}
 You never get the stink off, I swear.{S}
 One of the buggers scratched me, it did.{S}
 Half our scouts have gone missing, they say.{S}
 My boots are near worn out.{S}
 Have you seen one of them close up?{S}
 I saw one with no head get right back up!{S}
 I heard that some darkspawn use magic.{S}
 Kill us and then eat us!{S}
 We are all going to get sick.{S}
 Blessed are they who stand before the corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.{S}
 My faith sustains me; I shall not fear ten thousand men, should they set themselves against me.{S}
 The teyrn will make short work of those darkspawn, just you watch.{S}
 Darkspawn give me the shivers.{S}
 Have you heard about the king and Teyrn Loghain arguing?{S}
 When do the reinforcements arrive?{S}
 What do these darkspawn want?{S}
 Has it been getting colder?{S}
 The scrolls contain treaties promising support.{S}
 Treaties that may prove valuable in the days to come.{S}
 Shall I take that quiet glare as a no?{S}
 Many humans have said that to me.{S}
 I do not understand it.{S}
 Just follow orders and you will do fine.{S}
 I have wondered that, myself.{S}
 It is one of the many things I find puzzling about your behavior.{S}
 Why did I let you out of that cage again?{S}
 I could put you back there.{S}
 Do I even want to know what the other things are?{S}
 I am trying to listen.{S}
 Let us get back to Orzammar as quickly as we can.{S}
 Well, I find plenty of things puzzling about you, too.{S}
 Are we done with this now?{S}
 There is fighting to do.{S}
 No, let us leave this discussion... polite.{S}
 You want an investment opportunity, I could see fit to, say, sell <emp>you</emp> that lyrium instead--at the reasonable price of fifty sovereigns.{S}
 You can keep it or--since you can travel freely from here--sell it to Godwin, who you know is buying. <desc>Sigh</desc> You haggle like a merchant-born.{S}
 Deal.{S}
 Now do you want to buy, or no?{S}
 Fifty's a bit much when you have got no options.{S}
 Hold on, I will go get him... <act>Lie</act> I have a message from the Grey Wardens.{S}
 I do not think you are that simple.{S}
 I knew there had to be some reason I continue to travel with you.{S}
 Done and done!{S}
 You have your gold, and I have my lyrium.{S}
 I have sixty-five sovereigns and this dagger I stumbled upon in the tower.{S}
 Will that do?{S}
 I am giving you fifty-- let us make it fifty-three, how's that?{S}
 If I had children, they would be starving.{S}
 But I do not... so here is your gold.{S}
 It wasn't easy getting here.{S}
 It will have to do.{S}
 You have just bought yourself some lyrium, ser.{S}
 Let me know when you are serious.{S}
 Make it sixty and we are in business.{S}
 I might have changed my mind about keeping it...{S}
 I will let it go for no less than seventy-five sovereigns.{S}
 You can have it for fifty sovereigns.{S}
 Still keeping the lyrium.{S}
 You got your boat back?{S}
 Please take me.{S}
 Greagoir came by, said I could have Lissie back.{S}
 That I am still here, you may interpret however you choose.{S}
 You do not like me much, do you?{S}
 You have returned?{S}
 All the other templars have left for the war.{S}
 Greagoir said that I had been through enough... that I need to... recover. <desc>Sigh</desc> You should go... a great battle awaits you, does it not?{S}
 I wish I could have gone with them... to fight.{S}
 I needed to look around one last time.{S}
 Maker have mercy on me...{S}
 I do not want to die...{S}
 Is there anything you need?{S}
 I have brought supplies from the stockroom.{S}
 I must make sure there is nothing missing.{S}
 Can you provide me with anything?{S}
 Lost your weapon, did you?{S}
 Did you have to look that one up?{S}
 The elf gave me that one.{S}
 You have to admit, it is good.{S}
 You have to admit, it is good.{S}
 Do not look at me like that. <desc>Dog continues peering, a little more determined.</desc>{S}
 We have work to do. <desc>Whines</desc> <desc>Sigh</desc> ...{S}
 Bring me the stick.{S}
 What do you want, now? <desc>Barks</desc>{S}
 I do not understand you. ...{S}
 Are you trying to say something about a child in a well? <desc><DogName/> gives Sten a quizzical look.</desc>{S}
 I want to see what you can do.{S}
 I should let your weakness damn us all?{S}
 I will try not to injure you permanently.{S}
 I do not have to prove anything to you.{S}
 So you do have a spine.{S}
 Pity you do not use it.{S}
 Do not you ever talk?{S}
 You know, make polite conversation just to put people at ease?{S}
 None of those have any place fighting.{S}
 I have no idea how to answer this... <desc>Sigh</desc> Leliana, what do you want from me?{S}
 There is a lot we do not know about you, Sten. ...Except that you are a big softie.{S}
 I did not mean to make fun of you.{S}
 There is nothing wrong with having a heart, Sten.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 For your sake, I hope you never find out.{S}
 Who would have thought you would be a big softie?{S}
 I saw what you were doing back there.{S}
 Do not play innocent with me.{S}
 You were picking flowers! ...{S}
 Outside, you were picking flowers!{S}
 Playing with that kitten. ...{S}
 I have heard stories about the qunari, you know.{S}
 It took three Exalted Marches to drive them back to the sea.{S}
 We will do better next time.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You do not seem like very musical people to me.{S}
 The ansaam does not do battle with lutes.{S}
 It is not <emp>done</emp>.{S}
 What are you trying to do, woman?{S}
 I was not attempting to do anything.{S}
 And do not speak to me in that tone.{S}
 Did you desire a demonstration?{S}
 Do you believe you can control him?{S}
 Did your magic fail you there?{S}
 You have no idea what you speak of, qunari.{S}
 Do you know of the <emp>kasaanda</emp>?{S}
 Or farmers, though you do not seem particularly... earthy.{S}
 They have no place in war.{S}
 I can not even begin to tell you what is wrong with that idea.{S}
 It is not <emp>done</emp>.{S}
 I do not fear harm to myself.{S}
 I do wish you would not refer to mages as, "it."{S}
 You do not seem to be rising to the occasion.{S}
 I do not know which is worse, you or the dwarf.{S}
 He gets all his best lines from me.{S}
 Do you spend your free time composing these?{S}
 Have you been to Antiva, then?{S}
 Until I came to Ferelden, I had never left the islands.{S}
 She came to Seheron twice a year with the traders who bought spices from the northern jungle.{S}
 I am surprised you did not simply slay her.{S}
 There was no need.{S}
 And so one day, she snuck into the jungle to find her target.{S}
 We found the pieces of her body in a tree, where the spotted cats kept them for later.{S}
 We had never told her that our kithshoks were the ones who negotiated all the trades at the port.{S}
 She believed we hoarded things we cared for as her own people do.{S}
 "Sten" is not a name, is it?{S}
 Do you always begin conversations this way?{S}
 I have met a few qunari in Antiva, you know.{S}
 They wear the faces of qunari, but they are <emp>Tal-Vashoth</emp>.{S}
 They have abandoned the Qun.{S}
 Which makes me curious: What is your name, then?{S}
 But it is not your name.{S}
 Tell me, what did the qunari come to Thedas for?{S}
 Do I?{S}
 Why did humans come here?{S}
 Humans have always been here.{S}
 Have they?{S}
 That happened so long ago, it can reasonably be said that humanity has been in Thedas forever.{S}
 You have a strangely short view of eternity, then.{S}
 Why did you leave them?{S}
 Do qunari soldiers never retreat, then?{S}
 We never need to.{S}
 We do.{S}
 I do not understand what a golem is.{S}
 I do not know what to make of you. <desc>Snorts</desc> I am no possession, not now that the control rod is broken.{S}
 "Age by age have men stood up and said to the world, 'From what has come before me, I was forged, but I am new and greater than my forebears.'"{S}
 "And so each man walks the world in ruin, abandoned and untried.{S}
 What do you estimate are the chances of success, qunari?{S}
 So why does it follow?{S}
 I do not risk death, but it does.{S}
 I must see this through to the end.{S}
 It would rather perish than give up its quest?{S}
 There is honor to be salvaged in such a quest, no matter its chances.{S}
 What use is practicality when it leads to cowardice and emptiness?{S}
 But only if it is used.{S}
 I do not know if I have the strength for another big battle.{S}
 Fighting the Blight is the least we can do.{S}
 The Circle has always played a part in defeating the Blights.{S}
 No, can not say I have.{S}
 Do not worry, we are gearing up for battle as we speak.{S}
 Yes... yes, it can be done with a group of mages...{S}
 Come on, you have rested enough.{S}
 We need to get these out of the tower before they get... fragrant.{S}
 Touching those abominations... it is wrong.{S}
 Someone has to do it.{S}
 Why do we have to take them across the lake to burn?{S}
 I dread to think of what might have become of us if you hadn't come along.{S}
 I hope the demons do not come back.{S}
 Maker rest the souls of all, templar and mage, who gave their lives defending the Circle.{S}
 May they find peace at last.{S}
 We could be dealing with a mage--but who would do such a thing?{S}
 There could be several causes behind such a thing, none of them pleasant.{S}
 It seems there is no end to the demands upon your time.{S}
 Let us seek your allies elsewhere!{S}
 We... we are just going to abandon these people to their fate?{S}
 Surely you do not mean that!{S}
 I would rather we tried!{S}
 We could make all the difference, here!{S}
 No, I do not believe that.{S}
 If you wanted to, you would do something.{S}
 I see you are taking the Grey Warden reputation for ruthlessness to heart.{S}
 What a relief that you do not intend to mire us in this pitiful mess.{S}
 Let us be underway soon.{S}
 Sounds like it could have been a good fight, too.{S}
 And what about our plan to get Arl Eamon's help?{S}
 Yet helping these humans does nothing of the sort.{S}
 One would think we had enough to contend with elsewhere.{S}
 As long as there is a bloody battle, I say let us wade into the middle of it!{S}
 We are doing all we can, Leliana.{S}
 What would you have us do, instead?{S}
 If there is a chance to rescue the arl, we have to try.{S}
 I am not abandoning these people.{S}
 Then leave if you do not like it. <desc>Sigh</desc> W-well, yes... but that is not all they are for.{S}
 They are there to keep your feet dry.{S}
 If she has other assets, I would not be looking at her feet.{S}
 I do not see the difference...{S}
 It seems women only dress up for other women, because men do not care or notice.{S}
 I have bandages in my pack.{S}
 You have chosen, haven't you?{S}
 I... had a feeling this would happen.{S}
 Did you think you were the first person to ever disappoint me?{S}
 How did you know what I was going to say?{S}
 Ah, this is getting a little awkward and I think I am going to excuse myself now...{S}
 Apparently everyone seems to agree that a Blight is the perfect time to start killing each other.{S}
 I do not question the king.{S}
 He did pass this way a short time ago.{S}
 I am told my brother Trian is at the Proving grounds.{S}
 Pleasure doing business with you.{S}
 Let us fight, then, since you are so eager.{S}
 Well, we do want to help however we can.{S}
 Are the qunari never in need of aid?{S}
 Do you not lean upon each other for support?{S}
 We have to do this, Sten, do not you understand?{S}
 We are doing it.{S}
 We should not get involved. <emp>Locate Sten's sword</emp>{S}
 The beresaad value their swords highly, and do not part with them until death.{S}
 You told Sten that you would try to track down his sword.{S}
 Sten has revealed to you that the reason he went berserk and killed the farmers was that he awoke without his sword.{S}
 The beresaad value their swords highly, and do not part with it till death.{S}
 We must do nothing but find the Blight.{S}
 We have to do this, Sten.{S}
 With the Anvil in our hands, I need risk no dwarven lives to counter this Blight.{S}
 I will send Branka whatever she needs to forge a golem army.{S}
 I have already sent a mission to Branka.{S}
 Must we do this?{S}
 So we head into the city to face the archdemon together, do we?{S}
 Allow me to say that it has been a pleasure, my friend.{S}
 Assassinating you was the luckiest thing that could have happened to me. <desc>Laughs</desc> And yet good enough to fight an archdemon!{S}
 Do not doubt it.{S}
 I take it back.{S}
 If this should be the last we speak, I want you to know... assassinating you was the luckiest thing that could have happened to me.{S}
 Cruel to the end.{S}
 Wherever you lead, I will gladly follow.{S}
 You do not wish me to stand by you, in the end?{S}
 Cruel to the end.{S}
 Then let us give the fates something to consider.{S}
 Then I shall hold you to that.{S}
 Do not doubt it.{S}
 Let me wish you well, and may we shake hands again in victory when all of this is done.{S}
 Let us be thankful you are not as good as you think.{S}
 It is good to have you here, Zevran.{S}
 Say that again when we meet the archdemon.{S}
 You are making me cry, here.{S}
 Let us be thankful you are not a better assassin.{S}
 Will you still say that when we reach the archdemon?{S}
 Do not say your good-byes just yet.{S}
 I do not want to put you in that kind of danger.{S}
 I can not use you, Zevran.{S}
 Provided it actually kills them and you do not end up having to deal with <emp>flaming</emp> undead.{S}
 According to the legend, the followers of Andraste brought her ashes back to Ferelden to hide them from the Imperium.{S}
 Does he not realize that it is his faith alone which must sustain him?{S}
 It is faith alone which will bring the Maker's aid.{S}
 Unfortunately, he seeks the Maker's protection in a far too literal sense.{S}
 This is something I cannot promise nor provide.{S}
 Enjoy doing that, do you?{S}
 Grief can make us do many things that do not make any sense, I am afraid.{S}
 If he has foolishly run off then he is no doubt dead.{S}
 You should get used to that fact.{S}
 Have you no heart at all?{S}
 Or better yet pick up a blade and avenge him.{S}
 I hope he did not try to go to the castle!{S}
 It is like someone set a brewery on fire!{S}
 You are asking a great deal, you wretched little man.{S}
 We will do our best.{S}
 Shall we next begin rescuing kittens from trees?{S}
 Is this a promise we will not keep?{S}
 Let us hope not.{S}
 If you are taking votes, that is.{S}
 Or how about we do not?{S}
 I did hear that.{S}
 Interferer. <desc>Sigh</desc> Well do not let me stop your fun.{S}
 I will let him live.{S}
 Oh, do what you like.{S}
 I think there are better ways to deal with someone, no matter how vile.{S}
 Then... you will take the eighty silvers?{S}
 Fine, have it your way.{S}
 Do not make me stab-kill <emp>you</emp>.{S}
 I knew this would come up sooner or later. <desc>Sigh</desc> I do not know how to explain, but I had a dream...{S}
 I have had dreams.{S}
 When I woke, I went to the chantry's gardens, as I always do.{S}
 But that day, the rosebush in the corner had flowered...{S}
 I suppose I did.{S}
 I do not need your Maker interfering in my life.{S}
 That does not mean anything.{S}
 Would that you would pay so dearly for a kiss from me.{S}
 Well do not let me stop you from spending <emp>your</emp> coin.{S}
 Oh have it your way, then.{S}
 Kissing serving wenches, now?{S}
 Have faith."{S}
 I would do anything to stop the Blight.{S}
 I know that we can do it.{S}
 You are simply here to act suspiciously, I take it?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 But you do, do not you?{S}
 Could not he do it headless?{S}
 If he really cared, he would do it headless.{S}
 Everything you have killed and <emp>this</emp> guy gets special treatment?{S}
 He needs to work for his redemption.{S}
 No, I do not think so.{S}
 No one does.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 He made this world...{S}
 I have never seen an elf down here before.{S}
 We affirm our belief in the Maker, in Andraste and the Chant, but other than that, there are no vows taken.{S}
 The ancestors have smiled on you today.{S}
 Can you believe how many families are supporting Bhelen?{S}
 You did the right thing.{S}
 Rica said to make yourself at home.{S}
 You are wise to support the rightful king.{S}
 Your service to House Aeducan does you credit.{S}
 House Harrowmont is honored to have you here.{S}
 You will get what is coming to you.{S}
 You are supporting the rightful king.{S}
 Harrowmont will make a weak leader.{S}
 Congratulations on winning the Proving.{S}
 Endrin did not turn against his son.{S}
 Endrin did not want this!{S}
 Harrowmont is a noble man and will make a good king.{S}
 Do not you go asking so many questions.{S}
 Get you in trouble one day.{S}
 I cannot fully express the admiration I had for her, or the depth of my affection.{S}
 What would <emp>you</emp> have that a spoiled and bored Orlesian nobleman could want?{S}
 Some do.{S}
 The empress must have her own bards at her disposal, I suppose, but many are more... self-serving.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 Do they spy on Ferelden?{S}
 Does not the monarchy govern them?{S}
 What sort of services does a bard offer?{S}
 I would never have guessed.{S}
 I had thought you... dead.{S}
 I guess you might have been told that.{S}
 I was in hiding when I was caught, but instead of killing me, Loghain made me an offer.{S}
 He does not need to <emp>die</emp>, surely...{S}
 I say this boy could still be of use to us.{S}
 But if not, then let him go.{S}
 Why keep him prisoner here?{S}
 Let us not forget he is a blood mage!{S}
 You can not just... set a blood mage free!{S}
 We do not even know the whole story yet.{S}
 To play with forces beyond one's control is to invite disaster, no matter one's intentions.{S}
 He wishes to redeem himself... does not everyone deserve that chance?{S}
 Jowan has good intentions, but... a blood mage?{S}
 I find it difficult to trust his words.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Give me a chance, please!{S}
 Are you truly suggesting just... letting him go?{S}
 I just think letting him go might be dangerous.{S}
 It does, but it seems this is not something you will accept.{S}
 No, for what he has done.{S}
 This has nothing to do with you.{S}
 I went to the only place I knew would take me.{S}
 Do not lose your faith now.{S}
 Oh, just get on with your life.{S}
 You do not need the Maker.{S}
 Maybe I never found faith, I just pretended to because... because I knew the Chantry would hide me.{S}
 Ask him if you care about this foolishness.{S}
 My master has not forgotten how you defended him from Bruntin Vollney.{S}
 If only our powers worked to keep away the darkspawn.{S}
 I appreciate you trying to find him but what are the chances--{S}
 Perhaps it is a common elven name...{S}
 Ah, it makes sense!{S}
 If you seek Aneirin, you must venture into the forest.{S}
 Have you ever heard of an elf named Aneirin?{S}
 Sad that it needed to come to that, but then they asked for it.{S}
 The Blight--How will you end it?{S}
 How will you reach it?{S}
 If you reach it, how will you slay it?{S}
 I have heard stories of this order.{S}
 Will you make that excuse to the archdemon?{S}
 We have to fight the archdemon.{S}
 What, you think you could do better?{S}
 What have you heard?{S}
 What does this have to do with anything?{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 They do not fight.{S}
 That makes no sense.{S}
 Do they also wish to live on the moon?{S}
 I do not know what to make of you.{S}
 Perhaps this is a quality of Grey Wardens I had not heard about.{S}
 What does that have to do with anything?{S}
 No one gets to choose who they are.{S}
 He does not choose that.{S}
 We do not choose, we simply are.{S}
 I do not know this word.{S}
 They do not wish to be men.{S}
 You think they can not be women, because women do not fight?{S}
 None of this makes any sense, Sten.{S}
 What if they do not want to be any of those things?{S}
 Of course they do.{S}
 But a person can choose what to do.{S}
 Did not you choose to be a soldier?{S}
 That does not make any sense, Sten.{S}
 Prove it.{S}
 Take us to the battlefield.{S}
 Set us against the archdemon.{S}
 I will not follow if you will not lead.{S}
 Fine, lead us somewhere, then.{S}
 What you do now, you do on your own.{S}
 I do not doubt that.{S}
 We are trying to end the Blight.{S}
 Stop complaining, I know what I am doing.{S}
 What would you have us do, then?{S}
 We have to stop Loghain first.{S}
 Well, I am leading, so get moving.{S}
 I will lead us to the archdemon.{S}
 Just shut up so we can get moving.{S}
 We need to gather more armies.{S}
 I take it you want to say something?{S}
 I have followed where you led.{S}
 Lead, Warden.{S}
 If you do not want to follow me, leave.{S}
 We will reach the archdemon soon enough.{S}
 We do not have time for this, Sten.{S}
 Keep moving, Sten.{S}
 However docile he appears, do not be fooled.{S}
 Get out before I call the templars!{S}
 Let me take the qunari and fight the darkspawn.{S}
 What do I care for Loghain's lies?{S}
 Tell me: Do you intend to keep going north until it becomes south, and attack the archdemon from the rear?{S}
 I have no doubt of your <emp>faith</emp>.{S}
 I am beginning to doubt your <emp>sanity</emp>, however.{S}
 To find the charred remnants of a dead woman.{S}
 No, I do not.{S}
 Why do you fear him?{S}
 Revenge will not end the Blight.{S}
 I have spoken my mind.{S}
 Let us waste no more time here.{S}
 There is only so much one can prepare, kadan.{S}
 I am taking command.{S}
 We will find out, will not we?{S}
 You keep the darkspawn waiting.{S}
 I am taking command. ...{S}
 I am taking command.{S}
 I am taking command.{S}
 We can not deal with the Blight while Loghain acts against us.{S}
 You just have to trust me.{S}
 This is something we have to do to reach our goal.{S}
 I do not intend to fail, Sten.{S}
 There is nothing else we can do.{S}
 We have to try something.{S}
 Do not worry, I have a plan.{S}
 You are free to leave.{S}
 You have said your piece, now get back in line.{S}
 Well, there is nothing you can do about it.{S}
 I do not fear him, I just need to stop him.{S}
 We need the army.{S}
 It is just something I have to do.{S}
 What do you want, exactly?{S}
 Do not argue with me right now, Sten.{S}
 Will not get any argument here.{S}
 Please do not say we are considering that!{S}
 I do not like the idea of hurting the boy, but...{S}
 Two wrongs do not make a right.{S}
 Can we even trust this Jowan to do as he promises?{S}
 Give him access to such power and who knows what he shall do?{S}
 It does seem like a sensible choice, with a willing participant.{S}
 It should not be difficult to get what is needed, provided we have the time.{S}
 Something else will need to be done.{S}
 It must be done.{S}
 Please do not do this.{S}
 But it feels like we simply haven't tried hard enough.{S}
 No, I do not know that.{S}
 You do this and you will be killing an innocent.{S}
 His death will not make up for any of the others.{S}
 This is what we are doing.{S}
 I am glad we decided to take this route.{S}
 The entire Chant takes weeks to sing, and is only done straight through at the Grand Cathedral in Val Royeaux.{S}
 I did not see you approach. <act>Kill the dog.</act>{S}
 Maker's mercy. <desc>Sigh</desc> Thank you for giving me these.{S}
 I would never have known otherwise.{S}
 Mabari Hound * Honor Proving{S}
 I am trying to listen to the bards' song.{S}
 Can we speak when they are done?{S}
 Please, I do not want to get involved.{S}
 You dare bring that murderer in here!{S}
 No matter, the horde will get him.{S}
 Maker take his soul.{S}
 I hope you are not one of those scavengers, off to pick the battlefield clean.{S}
 A set of standard issue Orzammar guard armor.{S}
 Beraht's been warning me ever since two of his other girls found patrons at Lord Harrowmont's reception.{S}
 Abandoning Cailan was for the greater good?{S}
 Who let one of them in here?{S}
 Do not even think about taking anything.{S}
 I have got my eye on you.{S}
 I am just cheered by the thought that you might have picked up a book at some point.{S}
 It had pictures.{S}
 I did not.{S}
 But I suppose I do, now.{S}
 You are having me on. <desc>Laughs</desc> You need to eat in more Fereldan inns.{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 You will be the first to know, do not you worry.{S}
 I do hope that one day soon you will discover that neither is he.{S}
 Well, let us hope so.{S}
 But it is done.{S}
 Do not be such a blind fool.{S}
 That has yet to be proven.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Do the qunari have no female mages?{S}
 Do you believe I wish to be a man?{S}
 That will lead you only to frustration.{S}
 I believe this discussion does the same.{S}
 Let us speak no more of it, Sten.{S}
 You are making me nervous.{S}
 Who let them in here?{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 I have got nothing for you. <desc>Chuckles</desc> It appears my secret is out.{S}
 Are you certain you wish to make it?{S}
 Why bring an apostate with you, only to turn her in?{S}
 Do you wish to be rid of me, Grey Warden?{S}
 You might simply have said so.{S}
 I suggest you co-operate when we do.{S}
 I have no fear of you and your templars.{S}
 Do as you wish.{S}
 And from a man whom I even thought cared for me.{S}
 And here I thought we had even become... friends.{S}
 Then in the name of the Maker, I command you to come with us.{S}
 You have made your choice, Grey Warden.{S}
 Chasing her will have to wait.{S}
 Well played.{S}
 Is not controlling apostates what you templars do?{S}
 I want you to know about her... but I still need her help.{S}
 I am glad you have come to your... senses.{S}
 Do not threaten me, old woman.{S}
 Try not to acquire the smell of salt and tar while you root around in the gutter, hmm?{S}
 What floor do you want to travel to?{S}
 How do you know about that?{S}
 I see I need to take matters into my own hands.{S}
 I demand justice, and that means I take the throne.{S}
 You are supporting Anora.{S}
 After everything we have struggled to achieve!{S}
 I did, once.{S}
 Make me king, not her.{S}
 I have no place here any longer.{S}
 I guess now's as good a time as any to find out that something just does not cut it.{S}
 I guess now's as good a time as any to find out what that is worth.{S}
 One day I hope you get what is coming to you.{S}
 Being a good king is about more than whose smartest or who has the best breeding.{S}
 You told me once that I needed to stand up for myself.{S}
 Make me king, not her.{S}
 I guess you have made your decision.{S}
 I will be king, if the Landsmeet will have me.{S}
 Make me king.{S}
 You are the one who convinced me to take a stand after meeting Goldanna.{S}
 I can do this.{S}
 Put her in the tower for now.{S}
 If I fall against the Blight, then she can have her throne.{S}
 You would give me a chance for the throne after all this?{S}
 Somebody has to treat this Blight seriously.{S}
 Yes, well, do not let it get around.{S}
 I have a reputation.{S}
 You show me mercy that I... would not have shown you.{S}
 It does count.{S}
 I can not let this happen.{S}
 Let him go.{S}
 I can not do that.{S}
 You have my oath.{S}
 You have found a way to get deeper into the forest, past the magical barrier.{S}
 I need to do that, for Gheyna if nothing else.{S}
 Allow me to thank you once more.{S}
 I intend to find Gheyna a beautiful present for our bonding day!{S}
 I need to hunt a wolf on my own, so I can... please just leave me to my task.{S}
 I will become a real hunter and find myself a girl from another clan... and hopefully you will be long gone by then!{S}
 Now that the forest is clear, I am free to hunt a pelt of my own.{S}
 Refugee Elf <emp>Help Wynne find closure</emp>{S}
 The Dalish elves mentioned a wise healer living out in the Brecilian forest named Aneirin.{S}
 You need someone to fight them?{S}
 Maybe I am just the idiot that does not know any better.{S}
 It does not sound all that different.{S}
 From your tone, I guess you just do not see anything wrong with...?{S}
 It does not seem right to lead her on.{S}
 Or... well, to lead me on, to be honest.{S}
 It seems like the two of you have become quite... friendly.{S}
 So this might sound a bit strange, but I have to ask.{S}
 No, I can not just... do that.{S}
 Well, you are going to have to.{S}
 I am sorry, but if you do not it is just not fair to Leliana.{S}
 I mean, sure... <emp>hot</emp>... but I do not like the idea of you leading her on.{S}
 It is not the same as what you and I have.{S}
 I am not going to be given ultimatums.{S}
 I choose you.{S}
 My decision has been made.{S}
 I choose you.{S}
 It makes me tear up just thinking about it.{S}
 Oh, I do not know that I would go <emp>that</emp> far. <desc>Grunts</desc>{S}
 I hope she makes you happy.{S}
 Well, it does not <emp>have</emp> to be a bluff.{S}
 That works as an excuse, no?{S}
 I really do, do not I?{S}
 I keep telling myself that.{S}
 If you need me, I will be... standing over there.{S}
 Time for the juicy gossip, I take it?{S}
 You will not get away with this!{S}
 Surely there is something more important I could be doing with my time.{S}
 You do not know what I am capable of. <desc>Aiieee!</desc>{S}
 Please do not hurt me anymore!{S}
 I bought this necklace yesterday.{S}
 Do you like it?{S}
 Oh, ancestors have mercy.{S}
 I do not know if I am ready for that.{S}
 I guess that must make me sound like an idiot.{S}
 I would have to be.{S}
 I guess I was just raised not to take this sort of thing lightly.{S}
 I hope it hasn't... put you off.{S}
 Now that I have handled that with my... usual deft brilliance.{S}
 And take a cold bath, maybe. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Just what every man wants to hear.{S}
 I did not mean it like that, I... <desc>sigh</desc>{S}
 Handled with my typical brilliance, I suppose.{S}
 I care about you.{S}
 I do.{S}
 I just... can not take something like this lightly.{S}
 I wasn't raised that way, I am sorry.{S}
 And if you can not get that about me, I guess I will never be the man you need.{S}
 What did you have in mind?{S}
 I do not intend to do anything to jeopardize that, trust me.{S}
 I hope they do not come between us, but I...{S}
 Please, let us... just talk about this another time.{S}
 Let us just deal with the Blight, first.{S}
 Let us hope we have that option.{S}
 I thought the question deserved to be treated seriously.{S}
 Given the circumstances, things could have been so much worse.{S}
 I just mean to say that I have really come to care about you.{S}
 Now we just need to be rid of that pesky archdemon and everything would be back to normal, right? <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 I just mean to say that I can not imagine having done this without you.{S}
 I see talking is not quite what you had in mind.{S}
 Got it.{S}
 You do not think...?{S}
 Oh, do not mind me.{S}
 Let us just... not aggravate anyone, shall we? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Oh, I think it is cute.{S}
 Just treat me as if I am not here.{S}
 I do not mind.{S}
 Let us not. <desc>Laughs</desc> I have seen it a time or two.{S}
 You are both making me ill.{S}
 I could get to like this.{S}
 Do not mind me.{S}
 If you really have to, go ahead.{S}
 If that is what you want, have it your way.{S}
 Let us go to sleep.{S}
 I do not know that there is a future for us, actually.{S}
 I will not let you go, Alistair.{S}
 No matter what.{S}
 I hope we will find a way to stay together.{S}
 I need to tell you how much I enjoy your company.{S}
 Hey, let us not go that far. <act>Kiss him.</act>{S}
 I will get you!{S}
 I have seen Wojech Ivo break so many arms, I could do it to you in my sleep!{S}
 I need help with this one!{S}
 You do not want to make me angry.{S}
 The taint makes it difficult for one Grey Warden to have a child.{S}
 But maybe the future does not have to involve children.{S}
 I care about you so much, but... maybe you are right.{S}
 Maybe we do not have a future.{S}
 Neither do I.{S}
 Let us just see where this leads, shall we?{S}
 I was pretty sure we would already said everything that needed saying.{S}
 Well, you are going to have to.{S}
 We have a job to do, so please... let us focus on that.{S}
 We have a job to do, so please... let us focus on that.{S}
 Let us end this now.{S}
 I do not want to just give up, Alistair.{S}
 I will take what I can get.{S}
 Can you really end it?{S}
 I have something to say and you had best be listening.{S}
 Just... forget I brought it up.{S}
 It is my honor to have fought you.{S}
 When do I get to enter the ring?{S}
 I would not do that if I were you. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Especially because of that.{S}
 If that is what it has to be, then that is what it has to be.{S}
 I never thought I would find someone like you, after all.{S}
 Let us move on, then.{S}
 We have got a long way to go, yet.{S}
 I guess I knew it had to happen eventually.{S}
 Let us just move on.{S}
 I think it would be better if we... focused on what we need to do.{S}
 You are the first woman I have ever spent the night with, and if I have my way you will be the last.{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 I just need to know.{S}
 We do not know for sure what will happen.{S}
 My being a dwarf does not change anything?{S}
 My being an elf does not change anything?{S}
 I... do not feel the same way.{S}
 Do I really need to spell it out?{S}
 No one's ever made me feel this way.{S}
 I did, actually.{S}
 But let us get moving.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You do not need to thank me.{S}
 You think I could care for a human man?{S}
 I do not want to hurt you, really!{S}
 You should not have started this!{S}
 Would anyone like to buy something?{S}
 Do not make make call the guards!{S}
 I really do.{S}
 We do not have to grow old together, do we?{S}
 I will scratch your eyes out if you touch me!{S}
 A good man who did not deserve his fate, that much I am sure of.{S}
 I give!{S}
 Do you write, at least?{S}
 I bet your mother's a bitch.{S}
 I am going to teach you a lesson!{S}
 You do not want to see me angry.{S}
 Get out of my kitchen!{S}
 I wish I had my other cleaver!{S}
 I am going to bend you over my knee and take a wooden spoon to your bottom!{S}
 Who... who is going to make supper if I die?{S}
 I have got something to say.{S}
 With the opening cutscene or without?{S}
 Starting the plot.{S}
 Without the opening cutscene.{S}
 With the opening cutscene.{S}
 Get away from me, you knave!{S}
 You will pay if you ruin my new dress!{S}
 I have to say no.{S}
 I have always wanted to go to the Provings, but it is no place for a lady.{S}
 Paragons have mercy!{S}
 You have picked a fight with the wrong man!{S}
 You will pay for drawing a weapon on me.{S}
 Will no one help me take down my attacker?{S}
 A gentleman does not... give up.{S}
 I do not approve of that course of action.{S}
 Your father is currently meeting with Arl Rendon Howe and a visiting Grey Warden to discuss the battle that will take place in Ostagar.{S}
 Your father has sent you to give your brother, Fergus, a message: He is to leave tonight, while your father will leave in the morning, when Arl Howe's men arrive.{S}
 He believed that his injury would only slow you down, so he gave Duncan permission to recruit you into his order in exchange for seeing you safely out of Highever.{S}
 Your mother, though she was fit to travel, chose to stay behind with your father.{S}
 You have departed with Duncan, leaving all that you know behind.{S}
 You have arrived in Ostagar as the Grey Wardens' newest recruit.{S}
 The king's army and all of Ferelden's Grey Wardens have gathered here to face the darkspawn surging up from the south.{S}
 The Joining is over, and you have been initiated into the ranks of the Grey Wardens.{S}
 It is time to face the darkspawn horde and end the Blight.{S}
 King Cailan and Duncan are holding a strategy meeting before the battle commences, and you, as the newest Grey Warden, are expected to attend this meeting.{S}
 Ancestors, please have mercy!{S}
 Oh, I do hoped this would be more interesting.{S}
 No, I do not think that is wise.{S}
 I have a walking staff and I am not afraid to use it!{S}
 You know, find out if there is anything still there.{S}
 I will make it quick.{S}
 You took in a drunken disgrace of an Orzammar warrior.{S}
 You gave me a reason to fight and the will to keep going.{S}
 You helped me find the one woman in the sodding world who might put up with me, and you helped me get past Branka so I could have someone new.{S}
 I owe you a lot, Warden.{S}
 I consider it a fine honor to die for you and your cause.{S}
 I am betting on "not."{S}
 Let the stone turn red from the blood of heroes.{S}
 Today I will be the warrior you taught me to be.{S}
 Aye, I will play along.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 Just because you would not let me go find her does not mean I should not do it on my own.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 Stone willing, I am gonna be dead, Warden.{S}
 You going to get all emotional on me?{S}
 It has been an honor to fight with you, Oghren.{S}
 What will you do when this is all over?{S}
 We will make it through this, Oghren.{S}
 I require assistance.{S}
 I will enjoy teaching this child a lesson!{S}
 I do not agree with this course of action.{S}
 Do not test my patience.{S}
 I do wish politics were less complicated.{S}
 The Chantry would tell you that the templars exist simply to defend, but do not let them fool you.{S}
 To that end, we train in talents that drain mana and disrupt spells.{S}
 The Chantry does not look on it the same way, however, since really our talents only work on mages.{S}
 Duncan recruited me before I took my vows.{S}
 That was all I needed, too.{S}
 I do not know how anyone could get through that.{S}
 It is not unlike our Joining, really, and... just as deadly.{S}
 The girl they tested... she had a demon put inside her, to see if she could resist.{S}
 We had to... end it quickly.{S}
 I have to say I did not have much interest in becoming a templar after that.{S}
 The Chantry keeps a close reign on its templars.{S}
 We are given lyrium to help develop our magical talents, you see... which means we become addicted.{S}
 And since the Chantry controls the lyrium trade with the dwarves... well, I am sure you can put two and two together.{S}
 You only start receiving lyrium once you have taken your vows.{S}
 Well, they do it.{S}
 You do not need lyrium in order to learn the templar talents.{S}
 Lyrium just makes templars talents more effective.{S}
 Maybe it does not even do that.{S}
 The Chantry usually does not let their templars get away, either, so they can spread their secrets.{S}
 When the grand cleric let Duncan recruit me, she made me swear never to reveal templar secrets outside of the Chantry.{S}
 Of course I do.{S}
 I do not think you necessarily need templar secrets to defeat the darkspawn.{S}
 You do not need my templar secrets to defeat the darkspawn.{S}
 I could even teach you, I suppose.{S}
 I need someone who is trained first as a warrior.{S}
 I guess if I am going to give up Chantry secrets, I may as well go all the way.{S}
 Send whoever you want trained to me in camp, and I will see what I can do.{S}
 What can a templar do, exactly?{S}
 So templars use magic themselves?{S}
 Have you hunted many mages?{S}
 I can not believe they would do that!{S}
 Can you teach others to be a templar?{S}
 You do not think this is important?{S}
 I did not come here to just stand about!{S}
 I do not like the sound of that.{S}
 I did not realize comedy had anything to do with this.{S}
 Let us do it right, then.{S}
 Perhaps I should play a little harder to get?{S}
 You will not get away that easily.{S}
 And you wish to do this in front of an audience, do you?{S}
 And suddenly I want to do nothing more.{S}
 It seems we have approval.{S}
 You are worried about me? <desc>Laughs</desc> I was born in a whorehouse, so no need.{S}
 Excuse me while I begin projectile vomiting.{S}
 I do not have a good angle.{S}
 Come to think of it, I find myself no longer caring.{S}
 Or do you seek something else?{S}
 Then why do you seek another side of me at all?{S}
 I do not have sides.{S}
 Let us forget that the question was raised, hm?{S}
 Have it your way.{S}
 Only if we do it wrong.{S}
 It is not as if we haven't done far more.{S}
 Do you object?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Maybe I do.{S}
 If this is friendship, who needs enemies?{S}
 How do we move forward?{S}
 I need help with this one!{S}
 You will... pay for this.{S}
 We ought to get drag a few ladies out here.{S}
 I am getting bored.{S}
 Did you want me to jump up and down and squeal?{S}
 You think you are clever, do not you?{S}
 Make one wrong move and I will slit your throat.{S}
 I am going to make you sorry!{S}
 I am not that easy to put down!{S}
 No, I do not want to die!{S}
 Have a good day.{S}
 If I could just have a moment of your time...{S}
 I do not like that idea.{S}
 Make one wrong move and I will call the guards.{S}
 I need help!{S}
 I will show you how a true warrior does battle!{S}
 Do not get ideas; I have a weapon and I will use it.{S}
 All right, do not kill me.{S}
 And now she has everything she is ever wanted, and I am... here.{S}
 Maybe try again later.{S}
 Flies live in piles of dung, but I bet they miss it when they are gone.{S}
 I should be spending this time on my research.{S}
 I need to say something.{S}
 I do not have any sides for you to be on or off of.{S}
 And even had I such a side, 'twould be too late for you to simply ask for directions to find it.{S}
 Those are harsh lessons to teach a child.{S}
 This makes me cranky.{S}
 Do not you have any other inane questions?{S}
 No, I do not want to die here...{S}
 I will be here when you need me.{S}
 I need to speak with you.{S}
 We must get to the top of the tower!{S}
 I may need help here...{S}
 You are not prepared to face me!{S}
 I will never give in!{S}
 When do I get to fight?{S}
 Where is the fry pan when you need it?{S}
 If... if you get blood on the floor, I will be quite mad!{S}
 That sounds like it would not work.{S}
 Get away from me!{S}
 Do you attack unarmed women for sport?{S}
 I need help...{S}
 I do not agree with that idea.{S}
 I will call the guards if you do anything bad!{S}
 I just do not want anyone to be hurt!{S}
 I do love the sound of that!{S}
 I do not know if we should...{S}
 Ah, she always did like to play hard-to-get.{S}
 Just bring me in the room, and watch the flush come over those pretty lips...{S}
 I did not mean to make you angry.{S}
 Trying to steal my goods, are you?{S}
 You have just made the worst mistake of your life.{S}
 Where are the guards when you need them?{S}
 I have something to add.{S}
 I have been itching for a good fight.{S}
 I wield my blades as deftly as I sell them!{S}
 Now what could I do to draw more customers...{S}
 Or did you volunteer for the job?{S}
 When I heard that the great Zevran had gone rogue, I simply had to see it for myself.{S}
 I know why you did this, and I do not blame you.{S}
 Come back and we will make up a story.{S}
 Anyone can make a mistake.{S}
 And I am not about to let that happen.{S}
 You would need to be dead.{S}
 Does Zevran need to live?{S}
 I suspect I will manage just fine, Taliesen. <desc>Laughs</desc> You do not even know who you are talking about, do you?{S}
 And neither do you, Taliesen.{S}
 No need.{S}
 I did not come here to betray you.{S}
 Oh, I am not trying it a second time, trust me.{S}
 You have gone soft!{S}
 I am not coming back... and you should have stayed in Antiva.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 You should have stayed in Antiva.{S}
 You have gone soft in the head!{S}
 The Crows will make you pray for death, you fool!{S}
 But I will take what time I have.{S}
 You have a choice, Taliesen... all of you do.{S}
 Do not be a fool, Zevran.{S}
 This makes things... easier.{S}
 As for you Grey Warden... let us see if the second time is the charm, hm? <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I do not see him with you.{S}
 How very disappointing. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Do not bother.{S}
 Then I shall need to seek him out once we are done. <desc>Laughs</desc> Yes, by all means.{S}
 Or did you volunteer for the job?{S}
 And he makes an appearance!{S}
 I shall enjoy making you pay for his death...{S}
 Of course I would need to be dead, first.{S}
 Zevran does not need the Crows any longer.{S}
 Do not listen to him, Zevran!{S}
 I did not bring him, obviously.{S}
 Can we get this over with?{S}
 I would have enjoyed killing two birds with one stone.{S}
 Care to answer some questions?{S}
 Does he even like girls?{S}
 I believe the matter is still up for debate. <desc>Sigh</desc> I am right here, you know.{S}
 Do you actually have a question, dwarf?{S}
 Did you believe I would not see you?{S}
 I had to blow my nose.{S}
 You had no right to take what was not yours!{S}
 Do not be such a squealing nug.{S}
 You can use my handkerchief any time.{S}
 Do not force me to test that dwarven resistance of yours, fool.{S}
 Have you ever thought of getting yourself a husband, Morrigan?{S}
 It might do you some good, you know.{S}
 It serves no purpose.{S}
 Do not you want little Morrigans running about some day?{S}
 My mother needed no husband to have her daughters.{S}
 Ahhh, do not take it personally.{S}
 You do not want me to fall and break my neck, do you?{S}
 Touch me no more.{S}
 Have you ever... you know.{S}
 That is a most curious little mind you have, dwarf.{S}
 And what if I had?{S}
 Have you ever changed <emp>during</emp>--{S}
 How do we know you are truly a woman?{S}
 I have come to observe your kind.{S}
 Have you forgotten about the fish you stored in your backpack, perhaps?{S}
 Even the Chasind did not have such disgusting habits, and they consumed the flesh of the dead.{S}
 Have it your way, Miss Squeamish.{S}
 Just... get it over with.{S}
 Gwiddon's family has served Harrowmont's for years, and Baizyl is his own cousin.{S}
 Neither had good reason to pull their names.{S}
 But it is far from assured that you can change their minds and Lord Harrowmont <emp>needs</emp> a champion.{S}
 To be blunt, I would ask that you take to the ring for him.{S}
 If you can do this, you would truly have my thanks.{S}
 Do you think the deep stalkers make good pets?{S}
 Do you think I could train one to guard my door?{S}
 Heh, could use another ale.{S}
 I got something to say...{S}
 I got nothing you want.{S}
 I hope you get trampled by a bronto.{S}
 What I would not give for a bite of some roast nug right now...{S}
 I got something to say.{S}
 I do not think that is smart.{S}
 Do not you be causing any trouble.{S}
 I do not like the sound of that.{S}
 Do not you try anything stupid now.{S}
 I might have something to add.{S}
 Business has been slow.{S}
 I do not think that will work.{S}
 Oh, I do not think so.{S}
 I will make short work of you!{S}
 Is that all you got? <desc>Ach!</desc> Help me!{S}
 I will put you in your place!{S}
 Do not... feel... too well...{S}
 Do you think I could find someone to play cards with?{S}
 Take care.{S}
 You need a lesson in manners!{S}
 Get away from us!{S}
 You may as well just lay down and give up!{S}
 I can not wait to get out of here...{S}
 You have my thanks!{S}
 Come over here and let me hit you!{S}
 Hey, I got something to tell you.{S}
 Try to keep me from my ale and you will be sorry.{S}
 I have seen drunks with more coordination than you!{S}
 I wish there was something I could do about what is happening.{S}
 We have enough trouble here as it is.{S}
 We do not need more from you.{S}
 Oh, I should never have come here!{S}
 I will make you sorry! <desc>Ack!</desc> Help me!{S}
 Let us do that!{S}
 I will have you know: I have friends in high places!{S}
 I have a magic sword!{S}
 I have a magic sword!{S}
 No, do not!{S}
 When can we do something fun?{S}
 I will show you what a real warrior's made of!{S}
 Someone help me take down this maniac!{S}
 You had better listen up.{S}
 That would not work.{S}
 What do they say about angering a man with red hot tools?{S}
 Oh yes, <emp>do not</emp>. <desc>Eek!</desc> A monster is eating me!{S}
 I think everyone needs to listen to me.{S}
 When can I go play?{S}
 No, I do not want to do that.{S}
 You are going to have to do better than that!{S}
 I do not think much of this idea.{S}
 All I need to do is sound the alarm and you will be dead before you take a step.{S}
 Let us go!{S}
 I require assistance!{S}
 I have done... my part.{S}
 I wish defending Redcliffe did not involve so much waiting.{S}
 Might I have a word with you?{S}
 I find that idea quite silly.{S}
 Anyone who threatens Redcliffe will have to deal with all the Arl's knights.{S}
 I am not going to give up without a fight!{S}
 I think I need help!{S}
 I will call the guards if you do something stupid!{S}
 I will not let Redcliffe fall!{S}
 I need help, men!{S}
 You have bitten off more than you can chew!{S}
 I am glad we are getting a break from all the insanity.{S}
 Excuse me, I need to say something.{S}
 Do not make me angry.{S}
 I will not give up the fight!{S}
 You have underestimated Redcliffe's militia!{S}
 I do not want to die!{S}
 There must be something else I can do here.{S}
 I do not think that will work.{S}
 I may not have your fancy armor and weapons, but I would die for my home.{S}
 Can not you do any better?{S}
 When do we get to fight?{S}
 You do not want to mess with me.{S}
 I can not do this on my own!{S}
 I should not have got out of bed today.{S}
 I hate standing around not being able to do anything.{S}
 I need help!{S}
 I wish there was something to do besides standing around.{S}
 Do not anger me.{S}
 I used to have the fastest fists in Redcliffe!{S}
 Do not mind me.{S}
 I have got a thought for you.{S}
 I have live long enough to know that plans like that never work.{S}
 That face of yours looks like it would make a good punching bag.{S}
 I reckon I have spent more than half my life just waiting for things.{S}
 How are you doing?{S}
 I do not approve of that plan.{S}
 Show them what we have got!{S}
 I need assistance!{S}
 I am going to make you sorry you were ever born.{S}
 Who will lead the village if I die?{S}
 I should go look about the town, make sure everyone is all right.{S}
 I could get behind that idea.{S}
 I will hang you in the town square if you cause any trouble.{S}
 Set plot flag{S}
 I have been itching for a good fight!{S}
 Come on, show me what you got!{S}
 I might need some help with this one.{S}
 You have taken on more than you can handle.{S}
 Hold it right there.{S}
 We going to get some wenches here, or what? <desc>Hmph.</desc>{S}
 Good work!{S}
 I could get behind that.{S}
 I do not think that would work.{S}
 Proving Pass{S}
 Do you want me to ask them?{S}
 You dealt with Oskias, the smuggler who was stealing from Beraht.{S}
 Forged from fine steel, but left largely unadorned, this was clearly made for an up-and-coming warrior house, not a powerful one.{S}
 Do you want me to look for him?{S}
 Well, do not you go eating anything you find, hear me?{S}
 I will just let you look for that yourself.{S}
 A long, thin sliver of wood with a slight curve to the end.{S}
 A cheaply-made heavy iron key.{S}
 216015 : Bhelen's fighter Myaja showed me love letters they have, from Revelka to me.{S}
 Everyone else did!{S}
 I will scream if you touch me and... and that will bring everyone running!{S}
 I have got to speak with you.{S}
 I found it!{S}
 Do not touch my things!{S}
 Someone's trying to rob me!{S}
 Everyday it is the same thing... just trying to stay alive.{S}
 I am going to bury you and no one will ever find you.{S}
 You are going to be sorry you started this.{S}
 I am going to put you out of your misery.{S}
 If you are looking for trouble, you found it.{S}
 I should not have got out of bed today...{S}
 You are making the biggest mistake of your life!{S}
 My mother always told me not to get into fights... should've listened...{S}
 I am going to make you sorry you were ever born!{S}
 Get over here!{S}
 You have met your match!{S}
 I should've run when I had the chance...{S}
 You have just lost me my property, haven't you?{S}
 I could not find the armor's matching dagger, but I scrounged up a rather fancy longsword.{S}
 Do you wish to wear your shield to the noble's feast?{S}
 You sure that is all you want me to do to you?{S}
 Of course, if every other noble has a shield and three swords, you will feel awfully underdressed.{S}
 I know how you would get my vote...{S}
 Let them grumble.{S}
 You have earned your right to wear it.{S}
 Get used to it.{S}
 You will be wearing that armor a great deal from now on.{S}
 Although the idea of you charging naked into battle holds a certain appeal&{S}
 Can I have your armor, then?{S}
 Do not you remember how this game goes?{S}
 I get undressed, then one of your brothers or cousins appears and thrashes me.{S}
 I will take my chances somewhere outside the palace if you do not mind.{S}
 Keep your thoughts to yourself, then.{S}
 I just serve my noble lord.{S}
 One can not take all this marching about and speech-making too seriously.{S}
 The festivities put me in an odd mood.{S}
 The king expects you to make an appearance at the feast, but there is no rush.{S}
 The noble family heads will spend hours boring your father with petitions and petty grievances.{S}
 "This lord had my cousin killed," "This lord seduced my wife," "This lord did the exact thing I would planned to do to him, but he did it first."{S}
 Listening to a hundred lords complain that their neighbors use the same underhanded tactics they themselves employ would tire on me after about... oh, a minute?{S}
 As part of the celebrations, permits have been auctioned off to members of the Merchant Caste who wished to sell wares in the Diamond Quarter.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont has also opened up the Provings for young warriors to test their mettle before tomorrow's battle.{S}
 Rumor has it that Harrowmont hopes you will be swept off your feet if a well-placed young nobleman wins the Provings in your honor.{S}
 I will just wear a sign that says, "Assassinate me before Lady Aeducan marries beneath her."{S}
 Better yet, let us just enjoy the time we have before the feast.{S}
 What would you have me do instead?{S}
 I have got a well-built, magical broom just for you.{S}
 What shall we do now?{S}
 Win the Proving in your own honor?{S}
 My lady does not want to marry some trumped-up lord because of his talent with pointy objects?{S}
 Let us do something fun.{S}
 You remember last year's open Proving?{S}
 It took your father's smith six hours to remove my helmet!{S}
 Let them see me as a warrior.{S}
 I do not want to look fearful.{S}
 I would not even wear the armor if not for tradition.{S}
 It makes the more conservative families grumble.{S}
 I have never liked the feel of it.{S}
 We have been down this road, Gorim.{S}
 Let it go.{S}
 When a man does the unexpected, he confuses his enemies.{S}
 We have got time for a quick lesson.{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 Just try to behave yourself.{S}
 What shall we do in the meantime?{S}
 The art of ruling is hardly boring.{S}
 Should we tell him I already have all the man I need?{S}
 Do not sulk.{S}
 I could use a little sweeping off my feet.{S}
 Perhaps I will go win the Proving, myself.{S}
 Let us head over to the Provings.{S}
 We will play it by ear.{S}
 Why do not you want to fight in the Provings, Gorim?{S}
 The Proving sounds appealing.{S}
 Let us go have a look.{S}
 Let us go see the merchants.{S}
 I-I take back all the times I cursed your name.{S}
 I, um, do not know the libraries very well.{S}
 I am just doing some research...{S}
 Do not test me.{S}
 Certainly, let us take all day.{S}
 Our time is ended.{S}
 I need help! <desc>snort</desc>{S}
 Let us be done with it.{S}
 That will do.{S}
 That will not do.{S}
 Well done!{S}
 I do not agree.{S}
 So you are going to give me my troops?{S}
 I take them out, you take the credit?{S}
 One day, I will be able to properly thank you for all you have done for me.{S}
 I have been hoping you would return to Orzammar!{S}
 Oh, I have so much to tell you!{S}
 The other houses repaid their debts to my house and I had enough money to send an expedition into our old thaig!{S}
 We found so many things!{S}
 I kept some for you.{S}
 I said I would repay you, did not I?{S}
 I could never fully repay what you have done for me, but this is a start, I hope.{S}
 I do not need these gifts.{S}
 Were she to support me as king, this awful debate would be over.{S}
 Take them.{S}
 I do love saying that.{S}
 I only wish there was more I could do for you.{S}
 Wide Open World{S}
 If you show your support for Prince Bhelen, he might be able to assist with your requests.{S}
 What do I need to do?{S}
 Since your brother is leading our forces south and I am going with the arl, I am leaving you in charge of the castle.{S}
 A faceted cylinder of solid crystal, deep blue in color and cool to the touch.{S}
 They have been popping up all over Ferelden by way of the Deep Roads.{S}
 Thankfully, these were dealt with.{S}
 How marvelous that others join us in victory!{S}
 So long as Arl Howe pays, I am happy.{S}
 A round silver pendant, almost black with tarnish, that has the flame of Andraste on its face.{S}
 We sent a call out west to the Grey Wardens of Orlais, but it will be many days before they can join us.{S}
 We must do what we can and look to Teyrn Loghain to make up the difference.{S}
 To that end, we should proceed with the Joining ritual without delay.{S}
 The ritual is brief, but some preparation is required.{S}
 We must begin soon. <desc>Chuckles</desc> I agree!{S}
 We have until nightfall to begin the ritual.{S}
 He believes our legend alone makes him invulnerable.{S}
 We sent a call to the Grey Wardens of Orlais, and hope they will reach us before the archdemon does.{S}
 What would you have him do?{S}
 Let us get this over with, then.{S}
 Do you think there is any danger?{S}
 This key is so heavy it could be used as a bludgeon.{S}
 They do not make them like they used to.{S}
 Big sister, Trian is going to try to kill you.{S}
 Get to the point, Bhelen. <emp>Return to Duncan</emp>{S}
 You have found Alistair and should return with him to Duncan at his fire near the gate leading to the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 The first is to obtain three vials of darkspawn blood, one for each recruit.{S}
 No, but the effort must be made.{S}
 I have every confidence you are up to the task.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I doubt you will need to go far into the Wilds to find what you seek.{S}
 I have come this far.{S}
 Is this part of our Joining, too?{S}
 Which origin do you want to play:{S}
 My parents have disowned me unless...{S}
 Since the beginning, the Grey Wardens have been charged with finding those who are strong enough to attempt the Joining and recruiting them into our ranks, for the good of all.{S}
 Nothing you said prepared me for that. <desc>Sigh</desc> Yes, so am I.{S}
 Let them leave our city and pester the humans.{S}
 Start at the very end of the Prelude (with Morrign) []{S}
 Set world map transition outside of the wilds{S}
 This will have to wait.{S}
 Father sent me to find Fergus.{S}
 What did I tell you?{S}
 It is good to finally have a moment to speak with you.{S}
 Has anyone told you about it?{S}
 Not a great deal.{S}
 We have been waiting for your arrival, though.{S}
 I did not say that I did.{S}
 I have never been to the surface before.{S}
 I have never been away from my clan.{S}
 Why do you want to know?{S}
 I am curious about the Joining ritual.{S}
 So you are the one we spent all that time waiting for, hmm?{S}
 I am certain he has every intention of following it through.{S}
 I try to keep that in mind, as should you.{S}
 A fascination you do not share.{S}
 I have never been out of Highever.{S}
 No, we have never met.{S}
 And if he does not?{S}
 The Dalish do not have kings.{S}
 You do not seem very fond of him.{S}
 That is all the chance I need.{S}
 I will have my revenge.{S}
 Or just the only one who did not mind Oghren's ale-breath?{S}
 Orzammar needs a new king to defend against a Blight.{S}
 We have had forty generations of kings and lost <emp>everything</emp>.{S}
 Let us move.{S}
 And that makes you Duncan's new recruit, I suppose?{S}
 Glad to meet you.{S}
 We haven't met.{S}
 Let us get on with it, then.{S}
 I had only intended to use volunteers, but he was not satisfied... and soon a river of blood flowed out of this place.{S}
 We tried to escape, but they found us.{S}
 They took us all, turned us...{S}
 This is taking far too long.{S}
 Come and get it!{S}
 I could use some help, here!{S}
 I have seen more skill from a pup!{S}
 Do you have a moment?{S}
 I dare you to keep doing that.{S}
 Hold right there!{S}
 I have to go to the privy...{S}
 Why would I do that?!{S}
 I will find a guard!{S}
 Hold there, please.{S}
 Then I will join you.{S}
 Have you met them?{S}
 That makes things easy, then.{S}
 Keep an eye out, maybe we will see one of them.{S}
 If you have any questions, let me know.{S}
 Otherwise, lead on!{S}
 What about the other recruits?{S}
 I have met Ser Jory.{S}
 I have met Daveth.{S}
 They were simply the first to be taught.{S}
 If not, then perhaps you have not properly lived.{S}
 I have a mabari hound of my own.{S}
 How did he die?{S}
 I would best get back to my duties again before I get in more trouble. <act>Lie</act> I am afraid so.{S}
 That the Grey Wardens needed it.{S}
 Then give me the sword.{S}
 Is that the one who brought me back?{S}
 It was my duty to return an injured Dalish to your clan; your people have always been allies with the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Warrior named Everd is a long shot, and I have got a lot of coin riding on him.{S}
 I want you to make sure he wins.{S}
 Find his quarters and find out when he faces off with Mainar.{S}
 Mainar's the best in the line-up, but I will give you a drug to slip in his water to make sure Everd has the edge.{S}
 Here is the lyrium. <act>Give 2 nuggets.</act>{S}
 So get off her back and tell me my job for today.{S}
 That does not make any sense!{S}
 Why would he do it? <desc>Laughs</desc> All that I wish you to do is what you are meant to do.{S}
 We need to stop this Blight somehow.{S}
 Arl Eamon wasn't at Ostagar; he still has all his men.{S}
 So I should take on a suicide mission, instead?{S}
 What do we do now?{S}
 Then sodding yes, let us get out of here now.{S}
 They have taken the tower! <emp>Awaiting the Assembly's decision</emp>{S}
 You are in prison, awaiting your sentence. <emp>Find the Grey Wardens</emp>{S}
 Your title has been stripped from you, your name erased from the Memories, and you are now exiled to the Deep Roads to fight the darkspawn to your death.{S}
 Your only hope of survival is to find the Grey Wardens who are somewhere in this maze of caverns battling the darkspawn.{S}
 You battled your way through the Deep Roads and found the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Duncan was impressed with your ability to survive the darkspawn and has recruited you as a Grey Warden.{S}
 The Exile <emp>Find the Shield of Aeducan</emp>{S}
 You have been given the task of finding the shield of the Paragon Aeducan.{S}
 Your father believes it lies forgotten in an abandoned thaig in the Eastern Deep Roads. <emp>Return to the rendezvous point</emp>{S}
 You have the legendary Shield of Aeducan in your hands.{S}
 You have been betrayed by your younger brother, Bhelen, and incarcerated for the crime of fratricide.{S}
 The last is the Vir Adahlen--the Way of the Wood: we are as ancient as the forests, each tree a part of the greater land. <desc>Snort</desc> Have a moment's peace, for once.{S}
 This is the thanks I get for feeding you and putting up with you for this long?{S}
 May your child one day treat you the same.{S}
 Without me, I swear she shall be caked in dirt and eating tree bark inside of a month.{S}
 Take one step at a time, but it is not so bad to know where those steps will lead you, yes?{S}
 Come to think of it, that <emp>would</emp> be nice. <desc>Snort</desc> Well do not expect me to do <emp>everything</emp>.{S}
 There is, however, one more thing I can offer you...{S}
 I do not know how to contact them, or if they are even on their way.{S}
 We need to do something now.{S}
 We can not just give up!{S}
 What about those treaties Flemeth gave us?{S}
 Then there is nothing we can do, is there?{S}
 Do they fight often?{S}
 We have surely missed the signal... let us light it quickly before it is too late!{S}
 I am told you all have business in the Wilds.{S}
 The gate's open for you... just be careful out there.{S}
 I have my orders.{S}
 Did Duncan mention a mirror?{S}
 The red shirts are required for this portion of the plot, you will need to start in the King's camp night and use the debugger again from there. <emp>Teach Oskias a lesson</emp>{S}
 Oskias, one of Beraht's smugglers, has been holding on to Beraht's shipments and selling them to line his own pockets.{S}
 Find Oskias and show him exactly how Beraht feels about being cheated.{S}
 You have somehow ended up in Beraht's custody.{S}
 Beraht is quite put out with you, and hope for your continued survival is slim if you do not manage to get out of here. <emp>Escape Beraht's clutches</emp>{S}
 You have managed to get out of your cell, but this is not over yet... <emp>Escape Beraht's clutches</emp>{S}
 You have killed Beraht, your former boss.{S}
 This probably means the end of the carta.{S}
 Still, you had best get out of here before someone finds you.{S}
 Your showing at the Provings impressed the Grey Warden Duncan, and even though half of Orzammar was after your head, he has recruited you as a Grey Warden.{S}
 Beginning{S}
 Taken Prisoner{S}
 Set a plot flag{S}
 Will you prepare a service for Tamlen, please?{S}
 We need help!{S}
 I do not know if I remember all of the tale. <desc>The bodies around you suddenly rise up, drawing hidden weapons, and attack.</desc>{S}
 I am just glad I got to be the one to tell you!{S}
 Which will not happen until you get going, will it?{S}
 I do not feel lucky.{S}
 And how does Soris feel?{S}
 Maybe you should be the one getting married.{S}
 You just want to get to the drinking.{S}
 I will take you to them!{S}
 I still have some things to do, and Soris is no doubt waiting for you.{S}
 Take this.{S}
 Your mother would have wanted you to have it.{S}
 It is the very least I can give you, as you start your new life.{S}
 Well, what should I be doing?{S}
 You should have saved yourself the money.{S}
 Let us just get on with this, shall we?{S}
 The humans who killed her made a bigger one.{S}
 She will find out sooner or later.{S}
 I have no intention of leaving.{S}
 Unless you intend to force me to do so?{S}
 Do you have business here, human?{S}
 And if not, we <emp>make</emp> you move along.{S}
 You are causing trouble, human.{S}
 If he can be faulted for caring greatly for his people.{S}
 And it appears she has passed her skills on to you.{S}
 The Grey Wardens teach no single method of combat.{S}
 Mages number amongst our ranks, as do archers and assassins and any number of swordsmen.{S}
 I have no interest in being a Grey Warden.{S}
 What did they do?{S}
 You did not receive healing?{S}
 I have an amulet made by our craftsmen.{S}
 It is not much but I would be happy to give it to you in return for any news.{S}
 I am sure they have a lot to do.{S}
 Fine, let us just scare him then.{S}
 I hope this does not delay anything.{S}
 Let us leave them to prepare, Soris.{S}
 Let us go!{S}
 What do we have to work with?{S}
 I am not certain they would do anything.{S}
 The law does not exist for us elves!{S}
 According to the stories, the arl has overlooked his son's behavior before...{S}
 And give him an excuse to send the garrison into the Alienage for another purge?{S}
 But surely we can do <emp>something</emp>!{S}
 Someone has to save them!{S}
 If anyone can get in and out alive, it is you.{S}
 Your mother taught you well.{S}
 You could do this, with Soris's help.{S}
 Who else can do it?{S}
 You talk like he hasn't got away with it before!{S}
 So there is nothing we can do?{S}
 If he touches any of them, he is dead.{S}
 How did I get volunteered for this?!{S}
 I need some assistance!{S}
 Your head will make a fine prize!{S}
 It is done...{S}
 Hold your position!{S}
 That should do it.{S}
 That is not going to work.{S}
 I will run you through! <desc><DogName/> barks happily, inviting you to play</desc> <desc>He stops playing and sits down quietly.</desc> <desc>He continues jumping about and barking happily.</desc> <desc>He sits up and looks at you attentively.</desc> <desc><DogName/> rolls around on his back happily in the mud.</desc> <desc>He whimpers sadly.</desc> <desc>He continues rolling around and playing.</desc> <desc><DogName/> runs up to you with a stick.</desc> <desc>He hangs his head.</desc> <desc><DogName/> growls viciously at a squirrel.</desc> <desc>He barks at the squirrel savagely, then falls in line beside you.</desc> <desc>He whimpers and hangs his head.</desc> <desc><DogName/> cocks his head and gives you a confused whine.</desc>{S}
 Your furry friend here took offense at me getting near his food.{S}
 And do not you think I do not know it. <desc>He whines and hangs his head.</desc> <desc>He growls angrily at Alistair.</desc>{S}
 That will teach me.{S}
 I should say it is the other way round. <emp><DogName/> growls ferociously at a passer-by.</emp> <desc>He hangs his head and whines.</desc> <desc>He howls proudly.</desc> <desc>Whines pitifully</desc> <desc>Whimpers pathetically</desc> <desc>He wags his tail happily.</desc> <desc>Sits down and stares at you attentively.</desc> <desc>He cocks his head at you.</desc> <desc><DogName/> relieves himself on an inconspicuous area nearby.</desc> <desc>He pants happily.</desc> <desc><DogName/> rolls around on his back happily.</desc> <desc>He bounces around you, barking excitedly.</desc> <desc>He barks excitedly and runs off.</desc> <desc><DogName/> drops a dirt-covered root of some kind at your feet.</desc> <desc>You think that it might have some sort of healing property.</desc> <desc>You do not know what it is for.</desc> <desc><DogName/> trots off happily.</desc>{S}

 Some of the pages have been chewed.</desc> <desc><DogName/> has brought you an item!</desc> <desc><DogName/> does not seem to have found anything.</desc> <desc>He barks happily.</desc> <desc>He wags his tail happily and pants.</desc> <desc>He continues to wag his tail and stares at you.</desc>{S}
 He is... chosen you.{S}
 Mabari are very picky about who they choose.{S}
 I do not want a dog.{S}
 I can barely take care of myself.{S}
 A mabari should not be doing that in public.{S}
 You love me, do not you? <act>Push <DogName/> from you.</act> <act>Pet <DogName/>.</act>{S}
 It is undignified. <act>Pet <DogName/> and watch him play.</act>{S}
 Not the time for Fetch. <act>Take the stick away from <DogName/> but do not throw it.</act> <act>Play with <DogName/> for a while.</act>{S}
 Do not be mean.{S}
 Still, he should not have.{S}
 He could have taken a hand off.{S}
 Teach that silly Alistair a lesson.{S}
 Did you just jump at the sight of your own shadow again?{S}
 Do you see anything interesting?{S}
 Where did you get that?{S}
 Put him back where he belongs.{S}
 No, you can not keep him.{S}
 If he comes with us, he is going to have to fight darkspawn.{S}
 Now take him home.{S}
 Uh... you just found this then?{S}
 I am not eating any found cake.{S}
 You do not expect me to wear these?{S}
 They have to be laundered first.{S}
 One can never have too many pairs of pantaloons.{S}
 Those darkspawn did not hurt you, boy, did they?{S}
 I take it you want to come along?{S}
 I have always wanted a dog like this.{S}
 But I do not want a dog.{S}
 I do not need an animal following me around.{S}
 Then he will have plenty to eat, will not he?{S}
 I have made my decision, now stow it.{S}
 If you like him, you can have him.{S}
 He can come, but he would better make himself useful.{S}
 I need to talk to you about something.{S}
 It only saddens me that it has taken this for you to find it.{S}
 I am not the one who named him to the captain, am I?{S}
 Grey Wardens are needed, especially if a Blight has begun.{S}
 I had... no way of knowing that was the case.{S}
 For now, you have much to do.{S}
 I can not believe you did not save Soris!{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 There was nothing we could do.{S}
 You should not have interfered.{S}
 227545 : 227547 : 227555 : Neither do I, but they are supposed to be savages.{S}
 We have a party to return to.{S}
 If you can find it.{S}
 That also will not stop your alienage from being burned down. <desc>Sobbing</desc> Please, just... get me out of here!{S}
 Makes sense to me.{S}
 Then give me the money.{S}
 I accept your deal.{S}
 But I will not get to kill you, and I really want to.{S}
 Poor Zathrian, to have perished after all his long centuries.{S}
 You should've let nature take its course.{S}
 You had no right to interfere in the love those children held for each other.{S}
 They have to live with what you have done, now!{S}
 Cammen should have become a full hunter, first... but it is worth it, to see a little happiness in the clan.{S}
 A shame she had to perish.{S}
 We have had too much death here, of late.{S}
 How strange to see a Dalish join the Grey Wardens.{S}
 But how thrilling that a Dalish would also do so much and be so important.{S}
 Become a Grey Warden, and do what is right.{S}
 Ah, it is my shame to dream of knowledge I will never be bold enough to seek out.{S}
 Eirik has always worn it.{S}
 I must help you get to the temple.{S}
 Just bring me the medallion.{S}
 There are things that must be done before it will work as a key.{S}
 First, we must get you somewhere safe.{S}
 Though she is got her hands full getting everyone on their way.{S}
 It is your wedding, but even on this day of celebration, you find you are unable to escape the racial tensions that constantly trouble your people.{S}
 Before they could take you away, Duncan recruited you into the Grey Wardens, thus saving your life.{S}
 Our scouts saw you approaching and tell me you carry the body of one of our hunters with you.{S}
 Where do you want to portal?{S}
 If the matter is important, certainly. <desc>Sigh</desc> I have no time to even think about such things right now.{S}
 Let us pretend that I was such a mage.{S}
 What would you do to me, hmm?{S}
 I do, though the priests no doubt would tell you otherwise.{S}
 I need some information.{S}
 You do know that I am a mage?{S}
 And if you found an unsanctioned mage?{S}
 I have nothing else to ask.{S}
 You think it is a myth, do you?{S}
 I would question this, but I have far more pressing matters to deal with.{S}
 A qunari does not "misstep."{S}
 Teyrn Loghain is set to declare himself king, I hear.{S}
 I suppose since you are a mage, I do know something that might interest you.{S}
 To have such a call when mages are needed to fight the darkspawn, something terrible must have happened.{S}
 I have nothing else to tell you.{S}
 The only news <emp>I</emp> care about is the approaching horde.{S}
 With the bann having taken his men north, the village is left to its fate.{S}
 We will evacuate as many as we can before the horde reaches us.{S}
 I will stay as long as I am needed.{S}
 Some have, in recent days.{S}
 Even if I had no other concerns, I would not seek to collect the bounty.{S}
 King Cailan had no heir?{S}
 Have you heard any other news?{S}
 Do you know why?{S}
 You need to watch the roads more carefully.{S}
 You dare to bring <emp>that</emp> qunari here!{S}
 Get him out!{S}
 We have enough troubles without having to face <emp>that</emp> creature again.{S}
 What is the matter?{S}
 L-Lothering do not have any more beds for refugees.{S}
 But they keep coming.{S}
 I hope more soldiers make it out of Ostagar.{S}
 Jump to start of battle.{S}
 I do not need to hear it.{S}
 I come seeking the aid of the clans.{S}
 Ser Donall knew the fallen knight, Henric, and has taken the locket and the note.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 My mission takes priority.{S}
 If you are truly interested, there are books here containing a great deal of lore.{S}
 Nothing I have found leads me to believe that this was anything more than a quest of desperation.{S}
 You said something had happened to Arl Eamon?{S}
 The arl could help deal with Loghain, surely.{S}
 We dwarves do not learn much about your religion.{S}
 We Dalish do not learn much about your religion.{S}
 I would like to hear what you have learned.{S}
 The Lair of Werewolves of the Ruins. <desc>Snorts</desc> Heard what you did with the other merchant.{S}
 Got what he deserved.{S}
 Still do not have food to sell.{S}
 If you are here about food, take it up with that bleedin' runt by the chantry.{S}
 I got other gear to sell.{S}
 Show me what you have got.{S}
 I sent some hunters into the forest a week ago, but they have not returned.{S}
 All have hungry bellies, sad tales, and mementos for barter.{S}
 I sold that bleeding merchant outside about half my larder two weeks back, and now he is charging outrageous sums for all my food.{S}
 People get more desperate by the day.{S}
 Odd thing to be doing.{S}
 You jealous you did not think of that first?{S}
 And the merchant is getting away with it?{S}
 I will see what I can do about the merchant.{S}
 Got a brother that fell at Ostagar.{S}
 I am truly sorry the Dalish could not uphold the promises they have made.{S}
 I will seek help elsewhere, then.{S}
 You have not found wisdom, but you have found humility.{S}
 You must seek answers, if you are ever to find them.{S}
 This lesson must be learnt, if you are to find what you seek.{S}
 You have much to learn, and little time.{S}
 You must, if you are to find Andraste.{S}
 What led you here?{S}
 You must seek the answers in order to stand before Her.{S}
 You got a bed for the night?{S}
 You taken care of? <desc>Coughs</desc>{S}
 Did I mention I am the bleeding queen of Ferelden?{S}
 I will trust you can take care of yourself.{S}
 It has a history full of carnage and murder, you see.{S}
 I need to discuss something I discovered in the forest.{S}
 Ever since good King Cailan passed, refugees and soldiers have been passing through.{S}
 Ser Bryant at the chantry is seeing to matters of defense and such--he would have more of an ear for your type.{S}
 Do not need blades right now.{S}
 We need beds, food, and an end to all these sad sots.{S}
 I have a dozen things to do, and only two hands to do them.{S}
 Too much to do, and not enough time.{S}
 I am the elder here and I have my hands full making sure refugees do not turn to petty theft or worse. <desc>Coughs</desc>{S}
 You are one of the nomadic Dalish elves, proud people who refuse to bow down to the rule of humans.{S}
 While scouting around your clan's camp with your friend Tamlen, you encountered a group of humans who claimed to have stumbled upon some old elven ruins.{S}
 If they are not lying, you could find some of the lost lore of your people in these ruins.{S}
 Tamlen has been declared lost to the clan.{S}
 While the keeper's magic was enough to keep you alive for a time, it cannot completely cure you.{S}
 The Grey Warden Duncan said that the only way to stop this sickness was to join his order, which you have done.{S}
 I only have one thing to ask of you, if I might.{S}
 What do I get in payment?{S}
 I have had enough.{S}
 And you know how, do not you?{S}
 I do not think I do. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 What do you have?{S}
 Ooh, made by the elves, yes?{S}
 I might have something else.{S}
 I found some things in the forest.{S}
 Got it.{S}
 I will... keep that in mind.{S}
 Tell him if he refuses, I will ensure that Witherfang is never found.{S}
 What did you want to talk about?{S}
 I will bring Zathrian.{S}
 And there is no guarantee we can reach the city in time.{S}
 Word has been sent, but they need more than warning.{S}
 They need our armies.{S}
 I am not about to let Denerim fall, if that is what you mean.{S}
 What choice do we have?{S}
 Or do you intend to abandon Ferelden now?{S}
 I am afraid there is one more thing that makes this of even greater importance to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 The archdemon has shown itself.{S}
 Redcliffe is fortified enough that a skeleton force can hold the walls should darkspawn come.{S}
 If we do not defeat the archdemon, it will not matter if Denerim is saved or the horde defeated.{S}
 Then we march, and hope the army we have collected here gives us the chance we need.{S}
 Arl Eamon, how long before the army can set out?{S}
 Then let us get them ready.{S}
 I will not let all those people die without giving them a chance.{S}
 Then we march, and hope the army collected here gives you the chance you need.{S}
 Then give the order.{S}
 Are we even ready to deal with the horde?{S}
 Let us do it.{S}
 What can I do to help?{S}
 Have anything of interest on the board?{S}
 You do not talk much, do you?{S}
 I have had enough of your human nonsense.{S}
 Let all repeat the Chant of Light.{S}
 His board has letters of good deeds to be doing.{S}
 My father fixed Widow Allison's roof once and the Chanter paid him, he did. <act>Smile back.</act>{S}
 Is he touched in the head or something?{S}
 I have watched you and I do think you would find some of my skills quite easy to pick up.{S}
 Let us just go over there, away from the others.{S}
 I do not think you have the correct... aptitude.{S}
 I could give you some pointers though, you may be able to pass them on to someone you know.{S}
 Can you teach me to be a bard?{S}
 What do you mean "go?"{S}
 We do not need you anymore.{S}
 Get as far away from here as you can.{S}
 I will find my own path.{S}
 You do not have to tell me twice.{S}
 Just go, and do not argue.{S}
 Please know, I assumed you had already been told.{S}
 Otherwise, I would have told you this when you freed me in Denerim.{S}
 You are new to the Grey Wardens, and you may not have been told how an archdemon is slain.{S}
 I need to know if that is so.{S}
 Duncan had not yet told you.{S}
 I had simply assumed...{S}
 To reach the archdemon, we need to break through the horde... to do that, we need the army.{S}
 Then... you do not know?{S}
 You are both new recruits, Duncan would not have expected...{S}
 I am not sure we have much choice, really.{S}
 We could stop the Blight here, before it truly starts.{S}
 I will give the orders at once, and will notify you the moment we are ready to march.{S}
 Perhaps you and Alistair should meet me before you retire for the evening.{S}
 There are... things we need to speak of.{S}
 Perhaps you and Loghain should meet me before you retire for the evening.{S}
 There are... things we need to speak of.{S}
 Then if you and Alistair could meet me before you retire, we have Grey Warden business to discuss.{S}
 Then if you and Loghain could meet me before you retire, we have Grey Warden business to discuss.{S}
 I will have someone show you to your rooms.{S}
 I suggest you all get some rest, while you can.{S}
 We will need it.{S}
 I do not have time to chat.{S}
 The alienage gates are locked for the moment, to prevent outsiders from coming in and causing further disruption.{S}
 Do not worry, I will keep an eye on her.{S}
 Do not be ridiculous!{S}
 But they may have demons within them, lying dormant... lying in wait!{S}
 I believe order has been restored to the Circle.{S}
 I have already made my decision.{S}
 You should get some sleep before morning.{S}
 There will be much to do when the army marches.{S}
 If possible, the final blow should be mine to make.{S}
 All my life I did not want to be king, and now that I do I might have to give it up.{S}
 But what would be the point of being king if I did not do my duty for my country?{S}
 No, just make sure I am there when we fight this archdemon.{S}
 I will do what I have to.{S}
 You have arrived in Ostagar as the Grey Wardens newest recruit.{S}
 The kings army and all of Fereldens Grey Wardens have gathered here to face the darkspawn surging up from the south.{S}
 Duncan has told you that you need to go through your initiation ritual, but before you get to this, he has asked you to seek out another Grey Warden, Alistair.{S}
 You have arrived in Ostagar as the Grey Wardens newest recruit.{S}
 The kings army and all of Fereldens Grey Wardens have gathered here to face the darkspawn surging up from the south.{S}
 You and the other recruits need to go through the Joining--the Grey Warden initiation ritual.{S}
 As part of your initiation process, you have been sent to the Korcari Wilds to obtain vials of darkspawn blood.{S}
 You have arrived in Ostagar as the Grey Wardens' newest recruit.{S}
 The king's army and all of Ferelden's Grey Wardens have gathered here to face the darkspawn surging up from the south.{S}
 You have gathered darkspawn blood from the Korcari Wilds in preparation for the Joining, and have also located the ancient Grey Warden treaties Duncan asked you to find.{S}
 You have survived the Joining, your initiation into the Grey Warden ranks.{S}
 Night has fallen over Ostagar and the king and the Grey Wardens have gone out to meet the darkspawn.{S}
 You and Alistair have been tasked with lighting the beacon in the Tower of Ishal.{S}
 When the darkspawn have committed themselves, this beacon will signal Teyrn Loghain's forces to flank the darkspawn horde.{S}
 King Cailan and Duncan are leading the Grey Wardens in the charge against the darkspawn, while you and Alistair have been given the task of lighting the beacon in the Tower of Ishal.{S}
 When the darkspawn have committed themselves, this beacon will signal Teyrn Loghain and his men to flank the horde.{S}
 Unfortunately, on your way, you discovered that darkspawn have swarmed the tower.{S}
 Only two Grey Wardens remain in Ferelden--you and Alistair--and the Blight continues to ravage the kingdom.{S}
 You have set out to invoke the ancient Grey Warden treaties to gather an army to lead it in battle against the Blight.{S}
 Arl Howe has betrayed your father and Castle Cousland is under attack from his men.{S}
 The troops loyal to Teyrn Cousland have left with your brother on the long march to Ostagar, leaving only a handful of guards in the castle.{S}
 The women of your wedding party have been kidnapped by Vaughan, the arl of Denerim's son.{S}
 You found a strange mirror in the ruins the humans directed you to.{S}
 Tamlen touched the mirror and you lost consciousness, only to awake back at camp.{S}
 The keeper says a human, Duncan, saved you, but found no sign of Tamlen.{S}
 --Orzammar Doors Open--{S}
 'Tis not far and you will find much you need there.{S}
 Well, I always said if you want something done, do it yourself, or hear about it for a decade or two afterwards.{S}
 I just... do you really want to take her along because her mother says so?{S}
 The Grey Wardens have always taken allies where they could find them.{S}
 I am so pleased to have your approval.{S}
 Allow me to show you out of the forest.{S}
 I did not ask to join you.{S}
 I hate to say it, but the Grey Wardens have always taken allies where they could find them.{S}
 We could... probably... use her.{S}
 I may have answers.{S}
 'Twas she who raised me and thus I consider her my mother, born from her womb or not.{S}
 Married?{S}
 I certainly did not.{S}
 Such is her choice, though I suspect she would claim the choice was made for her.{S}
 I have been to the village I mentioned, watched its people, and pondered what curious beings they are.{S}
 Perhaps Mother is right--it must simply be done quickly.{S}
 It makes the village particularly intolerant and unpleasant for a stranger such as me.{S}
 Of course they have.{S}
 They found nothing.{S}
 The real question is how we are going to get your friend past the darkspawn, is it not?{S}
 It takes time.{S}
 Mother has given me something else for them to "smell" instead as we pass by.{S}
 I have also studied history.{S}
 Do not forget the stew on the fire.{S}
 Do try to have fun, dear.{S}
 Shall we have two guests for the eve or none?{S}
 And you will be joining them.{S}
 The last time I looked, you had ears! <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Even better, she knows the Wilds and how to get past the horde.{S}
 Have I no say in this?{S}
 You have been itching to get out of the Wilds for years.{S}
 Pardon me, but I had the impression that you two needed assistance, whatever the form.{S}
 You have spells of your own, but my Morrigan's as cunning as a root lizard.{S}
 If you do not wish help from us illegal mages, young man, perhaps I should have left you on that tower.{S}
 Point taken.{S}
 They need you, Morrigan.{S}
 Do you understand?{S}
 I give you that which I value above all in this world.{S}
 I do this because you <emp>must</emp> succeed.{S}
 Let her guide you out of the Wilds.{S}
 If you truly do not desire her help after that, simply tell her so.{S}
 She could just as easily lead us into darkspawn, you know.{S}
 I could just as easily have left you to them.{S}
 Allow me to get my things, if you please.{S}
 You could use some magic, and my Morrigan's as cunning as a root lizard.{S}
 You have an army of darkspawn to avoid, and 'twould be best to get an early start.{S}
 Ah, your eyes finally open.{S}
 I am Morrigan, lest you have forgotten.{S}
 How does your memory fare?{S}
 Do you remember Mother's rescue?{S}
 Your friend has veered between denial and grief since Mother told him.{S}
 Of that I have no doubt.{S}
 Your friend has been inconsolable since Mother told him the news.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 The darkspawn did nothing Mother could not heal.{S}
 I do not mind.{S}
 Take your time.{S}
 Mother's magic keeps the darkspawn away.{S}
 The horde has moved on, so you might avoid it.{S}
 Perhaps you were the only ones she could reach.{S}
 I would have rescued your king.{S}
 Gold has its uses, I suppose, but power buys far more.{S}
 If you do not believe that tale, then I suggest you ask Mother yourself.{S}
 I had a good view of the battlefield.{S}
 I do not know who this Loghain even is.{S}
 I... you are welcome, though Mother did most of the work.{S}
 I will stay and make something to eat.{S}
 I am Morrigan, lest you have forgotten, and I have just bandaged your wounds.{S}
 Do you not remember?{S}
 I bring before you four Grey Wardens who--{S}
 You are required to do nothing, least of all believe.{S}
 Shut one's eyes tight or open one's arms wide... either way, one's a fool!{S}
 If she is really a witch, do you want to make her mad?{S}
 Does your elven mind give you a different viewpoint?{S}
 What do you believe?{S}
 Does your dwarven mind give you a different viewpoint?{S}
 What do you believe?{S}
 Does your woman's mind give you a different viewpoint?{S}
 Or do you believe as these boys do?{S}
 Do you possess a different viewpoint?{S}
 Or do you believe as the others do? <desc>Laughs</desc> If you must protest so quickly, perhaps I need not ask?{S}
 There lies the answer I hoped to get.{S}
 An open mind, yet not made of mush.{S}
 Do I?{S}
 Why, it seems I do!{S}
 Morrigan must have told you that.{S}
 They did not come to listen to your wild tales, Mother.{S}
 And before you begin barking, your precious seal wore off long ago.{S}
 I have protected these.{S}
 Take them to your Grey Wardens and tell them this Blight's threat is greater than they realize!{S}
 Oh, do not mind me.{S}
 You have what you came for!{S}
 Do not be ridiculous, girl.{S}
 Do I?{S}
 When you wish to go, I will take you to her.{S}
 Here is a thought: Why do not we wait here, and you go and fetch them?{S}
 I do not "fetch."{S}
 The Wilds have obviously claimed this desiccated corpse. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Because I know them as only one who owns them could.{S}
 Do I appear a stalking predator ready to leap upon her find?{S}
 There is no need to fear me.{S}
 I have watched your progress for some time.{S}
 "Where do they go," I wondered, "why are they here?"{S}
 And now you disturb ashes none have touched for so long.{S}
 Do not answer her.{S}
 Have you no minds of your own?{S}
 You have nothing to fear from any witch.{S}
 Tell me your name and I shall tell you mine.{S}
 Let us be civilized.{S}
 You have stirred my curiosity, so you have my promise.{S}
 You sought something in that chest, something that is here no longer?{S}
 You stole them, did not you?{S}
 How does one steal from dead men?{S}
 Invoke a name that means nothing here any longer if you wish; I am not threatened.{S}
 'Twas my mother who did the deed.{S}
 Did you assume I spawned from a log?{S}
 If you wish, I will take you to my mother.{S}
 We <emp>should</emp> get those treaties, but I dislike this...{S}
 She will put us all in the pot, she will.{S}
 Have I been dishonest?{S}
 You know what the Circle of Magi is, do not you?{S}
 The Circle requires an accounting of all mages.{S}
 I have nothing to fear from priests.{S}
 I do not meet many people here.{S}
 Should you change your mind, I can take you to her later.{S}
 Go, then, and do what you must.{S}
 I shall watch and take you to her when you are done.{S}
 Tell me your name and I shall tell you mine.{S}
 Women do not frighten like little boys.{S}
 Tell me your name and I shall tell you mine.{S}
 Tell me your name and I shall tell you mine.{S}
 Let us be civilized.{S}
 I have no problems with your presence, if Alistair does not.{S}
 We need all the help we can get.{S}
 Oh, get over yourself, Alistair.{S}
 Actually, I have some questions.{S}
 Have you never been outside the Wilds?{S}
 How are we going to get past the darkspawn?{S}
 I do not sense any darkspawn.{S}
 What skills do you have, exactly?{S}
 You do not have to cook.{S}
 You will at least be of some use.{S}
 I think we should just get underway.{S}
 What makes you think we want her?{S}
 Very well, we will take her with us.{S}
 She had better be as useful as you say...{S}
 We do not need her help.{S}
 Thank you, but if Morrigan does not wish to join us...{S}
 I need to get out of here.{S}
 Why does your mother want to see me?{S}
 I have some questions, if you do not mind.{S}
 Why did your mother save us?{S}
 How did she manage to rescue us, exactly?{S}
 I would not have asked if I did not.{S}
 Why did Teyrn Loghain abandon the king?{S}
 I think I have asked enough questions.{S}
 What do you mean the threat is greater than they realize?{S}
 How do you know all this?{S}
 I believe you have something we need.{S}
 Where did you come from?{S}
 A pleasure to meet you.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Can you take us to her?{S}
 We still need to gather the darkspawn blood.{S}
 We had a good life and did all we could.{S}
 You do us proud.{S}
 They have broken through the gates.{S}
 Goodbye, darling. ... we are blessed beyond measure; we are chosen by the Holy and Beloved to be Her guardians.{S}
 I bring before You Your champion, who will fall upon Your enemies as a cleansing flame, paving the way for Your glory!{S}
 We praise Your Name!{S}
 You got him to speak!{S}
 What hath man's sin wrought?{S}
 Does not work either.{S}
 It is no use.{S}
 Keep trying and the templars'll just chase you off.{S}
 How's the vow of obedience treating you?{S}
 And the stars stood still, the winds did quiet, and all animals of earth and air held their breath.{S}
 Let Him take notice and shine upon thee, for thou hast done His work this day.{S}
 Well, it ends now. <act>Kill her.</act>{S}
 It should be intimidating and make the feel like they are sneaking into the heart of the enemy's base.{S}
 What word have we from Orzammar?{S}
 Has House Klaret sent their men or haven't they?{S}
 House Klaret's feud with House Rumold has flared up again since their son died in that Deep Roads business.{S}
 So naturally they are pleading the need for self-defense.{S}
 Fine time to start with that nonsense again.{S}
 I have half a mind to--oh, evening to you, Grey Warden.{S}
 I did not realize you were still up and about.{S}
 Nothing that can be dealt with now, I am afraid.{S}
 Just one of the houses being thicker than the stone that made them.{S}
 Once all of this Blight business is done, there will be a reckoning in the Assembly.{S}
 That way, they will have one of the strongest forces left in Orzammar.{S}
 That is exactly the kind of half-arsed thinking that got us into the mess after Endrin passed.{S}
 It was our good fortune that you decided to return home when you did, Grey Warden.{S}
 For all that you needed our help, I expect we needed yours more.{S}
 It was our good fortune that you decided to go to Orzammar when you did, Grey Warden.{S}
 For all that a surfacer needed our help, I expect we needed yours more.{S}
 I was hoping you would have some Grey Warden trick up your sleeve, truth be told.{S}
 Do we stand a chance of losing?{S}
 Now there is a reason to get drunk if ever I heard one.{S}
 And keep the drunkenness to a minimum.{S}
 We have a long way to go yet.{S}
 Under the open sky is a terrible place to consider dying, that is for sure.{S}
 I am not sure I get that, quite.{S}
 Who can rest after the march we had getting here?{S}
 These humans have it easy with their long legs.{S}
 Who can rest after the march we had just getting here?{S}
 You tall races have it so easy.{S}
 That and we are kept up thinking about the coming battle.{S}
 I have plenty to manage yet before the bugle calls.{S}
 Do not we always?{S}
 We will find a way to win.{S}
 I do, even if you do not.{S}
 Carry on, men.{S}
 The Grey Wardens and the dwarves have always been allies.{S}
 It is a pleasure to join you.{S}
 It is an honor to meet you.{S}
 It is an honor to meet you.{S}
 We will be outnumbered, it is said, but we have no choice.{S}
 I have done little else since I heard the news.{S}
 I have done little else since I heard the news.{S}
 I... do not know.{S}
 Do you... truly feel that we have a chance of winning?{S}
 Do not worry about that.{S}
 I do not pray to your god.{S}
 I do not make a habit of praying.{S}
 And what effect would that have?{S}
 We will do what we can.{S}
 Do not let it distract you.{S}
 How do you feel about the coming battle?{S}
 If we do, I know at least one Grey Warden loses.{S}
 I honestly do not know.{S}
 You have found some strange records in an old thaig overrun with darkspawn.{S}
 They are gone--they passed through and did not even notice us.{S}
 Give shapeshifting form{S}
 I have made my decision.{S}
 The woman you see beside me is a dwarf, raised to the ranks of the Grey Wardens!{S}
 She has survived despite the odds, and without her, none of us would be here!{S}
 The man you see beside me is an elf, raised to the ranks of the Grey Wardens!{S}
 And never a more glorious Grey Warden has there been!{S}
 The man you see beside me is a dwarf, raised to the ranks of the Grey Wardens!{S}
 He is proof that glory is within reach of us all!{S}
 He has survived despite the odds, and without him, none of us would be here!{S}
 The woman you see beside me is an elf, raised to the ranks of the Grey Wardens!{S}
 And never a more glorious Grey Warden has there been!{S}
 The woman you see beside me is a dwarf, raised to the ranks of the Grey Wardens!{S}
 She is proof that glory is within reach of us all!{S}
 The man you see beside me is a dwarf, raised to the ranks of the Grey Wardens!{S}
 He is proof that glory is within reach of us all!{S}
 You have managed to fight your way to the gates.{S}
 We are doing better than I hoped.{S}
 The army will not last long, so we will need to move quickly to reach the archdemon.{S}
 I suggest taking Alistair and no more than two others with you into the city.{S}
 Anyone you do not bring with you can remain here to prevent more darkspawn from entering Denerim on our tails.{S}
 I suggest taking Loghain and no more than two others with you into the city.{S}
 Anyone you do not bring with you can remain here to prevent more darkspawn from entering Denerim on our tails.{S}
 I need to go in separately.{S}
 And I think I know what we need to do.{S}
 We are going to need to reach a high point in the city...{S}
 I am thinking the top of Fort Drakon might work.{S}
 You want to draw the dragon's attention, I take it.{S}
 We have little choice, though I warn you that as soon as we engage the beast it will call all its generals to help it.{S}
 You may wish to seek them out before going to Fort Drakon.{S}
 With any luck I will find it before you do.{S}
 Nothing you have done has prepared you for what you face now.{S}
 Do you know where these generals are?{S}
 And what will you be doing?{S}
 I am sure that if we did slay those generals, it would stop the darkspawn in the city from doing a lot of harm!{S}
 It may also waste resources trying to find them.{S}
 A large group of darkspawn have broken away from the battle!{S}
 They are preparing another charge!{S}
 Have mercy!{S}
 We have got to get out of here!{S}
 Have mercy!{S}
 There is a large group of darkspawn approaching and the gates will not hold!{S}
 We need your help!{S}
 This is our home and we are not going to let it fall!{S}
 The Maker sure gave you the gift of good timing, did not He?{S}
 Just get out of my way!{S}
 I need you to fight with me!{S}
 I will handle this!{S}
 Get yourselves to safety!{S}
 B-but we have no armor, and only simple weapons!{S}
 We did it!{S}
 I...I did not think it was possible!{S}
 You have given us a chance to get to safety.{S}
 Please take this.{S}
 We have to go.{S}
 Until the end!{S}
 Yes, if we can hold them back, it will give others a chance to escape.{S}
 We have to do something!{S}
 Do you want to come with us?{S}
 We could try--{S}
 Tell us what to do, and we will fight for as long as we can.{S}
 Then get out of my way, cowards!{S}
 You did it!{S}
 Did you see those noble hunters?{S}
 You wear a sword better than I ever could, my lady.{S}
 Has my lord gone to see the Provings yet?{S}
 Hold them back!{S}
 Do not let a single one through!{S}
 Give the Teyrn time to escape!{S}
 Why are they doing this?!{S}
 Send the mangy thing away and let us be off! <desc>Excited barking!</desc>{S}
 I do not have time for a dog.{S}
 Does this mean we are going to have this mangy beast following us about now?{S}
 He does not seem to want to go.{S}
 Then they can take a message to Loghain.{S}
 Then make him go!{S}
 We get enough ticks and fleas from Alistair.{S}
 You can not mean to have him follow us? <desc>Gags</desc>{S}
 Do not be cruel.{S}
 I think I am going to take him with me.{S}
 Why do you hate puppies?{S}
 I do not have time for you.{S}
 You forgot the stuff, did not you?{S}
 I must say that traveling with you has opened my eyes to how wrong some are about the Dalish.{S}
 And I have not seen you snatch away women and children without provocation.{S}
 Did you always live in an alienage?{S}
 Are you trying to be funny?{S}
 We are used to it.{S}
 No, people actually do believe such things of you.{S}
 If my people were more open to interacting with yours, we could do away with such misperceptions.{S}
 This attitude is not going to make humans more sympathetic of the Dalish.{S}
 I know humans and elves do not share a happy history, but peace must be possible.{S}
 I did not mean it like that.{S}
 I wasn't trying to belittle your culture.{S}
 I have met very few elves and those that I have met were... pledged to the service of Orlesian nobles.{S}
 Do you think us a quaint curiosity meant for study?{S}
 We do live quite close to the earth.{S}
 The last time that happened, it did not end well. <emp>Unite Ferelden</emp>{S}
 You have gathered your army, and the Landsmeet will soon be called.{S}
 You have joined Arl Eamon in Denerim for the Landsmeet. <emp>Head to Redcliffe to prepare your army</emp>{S}
 You have gathered your allies.{S}
 What do you want to do in the climax?{S}
 Set all wide open world plots to be done (so climax is clear to trigger){S}
 Start climax by jumping directly to Redcliffe Castle{S}
 They are nimble and dextrous and many people find them pleasing to look at.{S}
 So I should offer myself to some Orlesian noble?{S}
 I have no wish to continue this conversation.{S}
 It is still a life I would never choose.{S}
 I could never live like that. <desc>Sigh</desc> My words were clumsily chosen.{S}
 I did not mean to offend.{S}
 No, I did not mean it that way!{S}
 I have offended and I did not mean to do so.{S}
 You have given me a lot to think about.{S}
 I did not realize that.{S}
 It is so strange, how long-held beliefs just seem natural and... right.{S}
 I have never been to the Denerim Alienage but I hear that life is hard and... there is so much squalor...{S}
 I had my family.{S}
 I have known elven servants with servants of their own.{S}
 Yes, but some humans are treated cruelly too.{S}
 I would rather live free in squalor than be a slave.{S}
 I did not know that.{S}
 And I bet some are treated cruelly, like dogs.{S}
 I have never been one to follow the Maker's instructions.{S}
 Would He have created in us the capacity for love if He did not intend for us to find it?{S}
 Yes, that gloriously rich and decadent emotion that one finds oneself hopelessly stuck in.{S}
 You have been stuck in caramel pudding, I gather?{S}
 Then I thank the Maker for bringing us together.{S}
 Or maybe <emp>I</emp> did something right. <desc><DogName/> twitches in his sleep.</desc> <desc>He makes soft huffing noises while he sleeps.</desc> <desc>He comes to, shakes his head, and barks happily at you.</desc> <desc>Yelps</desc>{S}
 There are those who would take advantage of our weakened state if we let them.{S}
 We must defeat this darkspawn incursion, but we must do so sensibly and without hesitation.{S}
 You have declared yourself Queen Anora's regent, and claim we must unite under your banner for our own good.{S}
 Everything I have done has been to secure Ferelden's independence.{S}
 I have not shirked my duty to the throne, and neither will any of you!{S}
 Bann Teagan, my father is doing what is best.{S}
 Did he also do what was best for your husband, your Majesty?{S}
 Oh, I have tales of pudding like you would not believe... perhaps we could retire to my tent and I could regale you?{S}
 Let us not ruin the mood with a philosophical discussion.{S}
 I bring word, sire.{S}
 I also have an interesting report.{S}
 How I do not know, but they will act against you.{S}
 I have arranged for a... solution, with your leave.{S}
 Against Grey Wardens we will need the very best, sire.{S}
 Just get it done.{S}
 I have more news.{S}
 Well, it seems that the fighting has gone exactly as you--{S}
 The nobility shall be brought into line, and then the darkspawn defeated.{S}
 Beg pardon, sire, but Blight or no, we may not have the manpower to face the darkspawn soon.{S}
 Cailan approached the Orlesians for support, did he not?{S}
 We need help, Father!{S}
 We cannot deal with this crisis alone!{S}
 I will lead it through this, Anora!{S}
 You must have faith in me!{S}
 Did you kill Cailan?{S}
 Cailan's death was his own doing.{S}
 You will just have to wait and see, will not you?{S}
 Only if talk of pudding is just the start.{S}
 I know you do not want to do this anyway, so let me.{S}
 I will take the final blow and kill it.{S}
 I do want to be king.{S}
 I did not, but now I do.{S}
 Anora can rule.{S}
 I never cared about becoming king, you know that.{S}
 And this right here is the best king I could be, my first and last act being to stop the Blight before it really starts.{S}
 But did you really think I would just let you do this?{S}
 Loghain needed to pay for his crimes, but she should not.{S}
 I do not know the first thing about it.{S}
 Was it just to put me on the throne?{S}
 Let us face it, I was convenient to take down Loghain, but what this country will need is a wise ruler.{S}
 They do not want me to be king any more than I do.{S}
 I will not let you die, not if I can do something about it.{S}
 I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.{S}
 You say that as if I am giving you a choice.{S}
 Sanest thing I have ever done.{S}
 So let me save yours just this once.{S}
 Not to mention that you are the best friend I could ever have asked for.{S}
 We have fought back-to-back since Ostagar and you have saved my life a dozen times over.{S}
 I would gladly return the favor, if you will let me.{S}
 So you needn't feel guilty about letting me do this.{S}
 I want to do it.{S}
 I did not want to be king, but you convinced me I should be.{S}
 I did not want to become king, but now I am.{S}
 I will not let you die, not when I can do something about it.{S}
 But I got one up on you.{S}
 I want to do this.{S}
 Knew me that well, did you?{S}
 I was an idiot to let you go.{S}
 At least this way I can do something right.{S}
 Do not forget about me.{S}
 I am glad we had the time we did.{S}
 Do not... forget about me.{S}
 Then there is no need to argue about it, is there?{S}
 I know you said to Riordan that you would take the final blow, but let me.{S}
 You did not really think I would let you kill yourself, did you?{S}
 You are a better friend than I could have asked for.{S}
 Tell Anora that she gets all the fun, now.{S}
 Let me.{S}
 There is no need for you to die.{S}
 But I do not get that either way, so this... this works better.{S}
 After all that effort to put you on the throne?{S}
 I thought you had a duty to your future queen?{S}
 I will not let you die either, Alistair.{S}
 Then do it.{S}
 You need to become king, Alistair.{S}
 I can not let you do it.{S}
 If that is what you really want to do, then I will not stop you.{S}
 I certainly do not want to die.{S}
 Wait, I can not let you do this...{S}
 Let us go see what Riordan has to say. <emp>Speak with Riordan</emp>{S}
 You have gathered your armies, and it is time to lead them against the greatest threat that Ferelden has seen in centuries.{S}
 The archdemon and the darkspawn have reached Denerim, and it will fall to the Blight unless you do something about it.{S}
 You have gathered your armies, and it is time to lead them against the greatest threat that Ferelden has seen in centuries.{S}
 However, Riordan has revealed to you that the Grey Warden who delivers the killing blow to the archdemon will perish as well.{S}
 Riordan has volunteered to make the final blow.{S}
 I also saw Morrigan outside your room earlier, and the look she gave me... that was icy even for her.{S}
 I guess whatever Morrigan had to say, it is big.{S}
 This is what I get for becoming king.{S}
 Everyone always brings you the bad news.{S}
 I can take it.{S}
 Could you make it sound more ominous?{S}
 I had wondered if that was still so, after... why are you telling me this?{S}
 I do, and I feel the same.{S}
 I owe you everything, even if you did go and make me king.{S}
 That is not the best way to start a conversation, but... all right.{S}
 We have been through enough together I will at least hear you out. <desc>Laughs</desc> Cute.{S}
 How does someone make that kind of choice?{S}
 Does she want an heir to the throne?{S}
 Well that is so much <emp>better</emp>, do not you think?{S}
 Here I was worried about creating another bastard heir and I did not even <emp>consider</emp> that it might also be some dragon... god... whatever!{S}
 I bet it is blood magic, is not it!{S}
 Look, even if I was willing to entertain this idea... and I am not saying I am... is this really what you want me to do?{S}
 I do trust you.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 I do trust you.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 I do trust you.{S}
 I will do it. <desc>Groans</desc> Where is she?{S}
 Let us go and get this over with before I... change my mind.{S}
 I can not do it.{S}
 You can not ask me to do this, not like this.{S}
 Look, even if I was willing to do this... and I am not saying I am... do you really think this is a good idea?{S}
 Look, even if I was willing to do this... and I am not saying I am... are you suggesting we trust Morrigan?{S}
 I do not know...{S}
 I suppose not, though the fact that you are willing to send me off to sleep with your... with her... does not exactly thrill me.{S}
 No, I will not do that.{S}
 You are the one who said I needed a spine.{S}
 So now I have one.{S}
 And I am not going to just do this without a better reason.{S}
 Not based on what you have told me.{S}
 Look, just because I have the proper... just because I can... look, that does not make this a good idea! <desc>Sigh</desc> So that is how it is going to be, is it?{S}
 I suppose I will just have to live with the fact that you have me wrapped completely around your finger.{S}
 I give up.{S}
 I will do it. <desc>Sigh</desc> You know what?{S}
 If this does what you say it will...{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 You have met her before, right?{S}
 If it will save your life or Riordan's, then I will do it.{S}
 Maker help me, but I will do it.{S}
 If it comes to that, I will gladly die to end the Blight if you will not.{S}
 I do not know why Morrigan thought I would actually agree to this, or why she thought she had to send you, but it is not going to happen. <desc>Sigh</desc> I...{S}
 I am going to get some sleep now.{S}
 We are <emp>done</emp> talking about this.{S}
 We do not know what will happen tomorrow.{S}
 Riordan could end it.{S}
 Or both of us could die before we even get close.{S}
 You made me king, that is true.{S}
 There was a time when I did not want that, but I have changed.{S}
 I suppose I owe you for that.{S}
 So have it your way.{S}
 I will do what you are asking.{S}
 Yes, I guess you have done a lot for me.{S}
 You also made me king, as I recall.{S}
 What have you done for me?{S}
 Made me king, that is what.{S}
 What is this ritual supposed to do?{S}
 But how does Morrigan even know how to even do such a thing?{S}
 Is... that what it does?{S}
 Well... yes, I suppose I do, sure.{S}
 Is that what the ritual does?{S}
 I just do not understand how this is supposed to work.{S}
 How does Morrigan know this ritual?{S}
 That is got to be the strangest thing you have ever asked me to do.{S}
 I am just supposed to go and have sex?{S}
 What do you need me to do? <desc>Laughs</desc> All right, that is pretty funny.{S}
 I... er... what is this ritual supposed to do, exactly?{S}
 Well, I already said that I will take the blow if Riordan can not.{S}
 So you do not need to worry about it.{S}
 If you mean running away, I can not do that.{S}
 But you do not mean that, do you?{S}
 You are making me nervous already.{S}
 What did she want?{S}
 Have it your way, I guess.{S}
 I am going to get some sleep, or try to. <desc>Yawns</desc> Wake me if the castle falls... or whatever...{S}
 Alistair, we need to talk.{S}
 I care for you.{S}
 I know we are not friends, but I need you to trust me.{S}
 You need to sleep with Morrigan.{S}
 I think she wants to make some kind of Old God.{S}
 Why do not you ask her yourself?{S}
 That does not change anything.{S}
 You need to trust me.{S}
 I can not ask you to do this.{S}
 We do not have time to go over this.{S}
 Do you think I would ask you to do this if I wasn't sure?{S}
 I am sure this is the right thing to do.{S}
 I would do it myself if I could!{S}
 If you loved me, you would do this.{S}
 Do you really want to risk dying tomorrow?{S}
 You would refuse after everything I have done for you?{S}
 Have it your way, if that is how you want it.{S}
 I should not have asked.{S}
 It will save whoever has to kill the archdemon.{S}
 You want that, do not you?{S}
 I need you to take part in a magic ritual.{S}
 You need to sleep with her.{S}
 I can not do this.{S}
 I need to go.{S}
 I am not sure I can do this.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 She brought some important news.{S}
 We need to talk.{S}
 Morrigan has asked that you convince Alistair to lie with her tonight, to conceive a child that will become a vessel for the essence of an Old God.{S}
 You have agreed to perform the ritual with Morrigan.{S}
 Tonight, you will join with her to conceive a child that will become a vessel for the essence of an Old God.{S}
 You have convinced Alistair to perform the ritual with Morrigan.{S}
 Tonight, he will join with her, to conceive a child that will become a vessel for the essence of an Old God.{S}
 I shall have no more of your pestering!{S}
 I am your mother... do you not love me?{S}
 She does not even acknowledge her own mother!{S}
 It cannot even read my mind well enough to form a decent copy!{S}
 Did you... did you see that?{S}
 I have heard of it.{S}
 I do not feel right.{S}
 You mean, something set all that up?{S}
 Well, it worked.{S}
 Someone is going to pay dearly for this headache.{S}
 Oh, yes, they will pay.{S}
 If I collapse, I will make sure it is over there.{S}
 Now let us go.{S}
 I do not know why, but it feels like I haven't been here in ages.{S}
 Pull up a seat and join me for a drink.{S}
 It is the year's-end celebration--two bits off the lichen-ale.{S}
 Let us find another table.{S}
 I do not want to sit near a fat, smelly Oghren!{S}
 I do not smell funny, you little fart!{S}
 He is a disgrace to his caste and the good Paragon Branka, ancestors keep her.{S}
 They have been after me all day.{S}
 I am used to it.{S}
 A warrior forbidden to carry weapons--what a laugh!{S}
 Who do you fight now, Oghren?{S}
 You think I am gonna let--{S}
 Oh, no, Oghren, do not get me wet!{S}
 I do not think I could stand up to your splashings!{S}
 What can I do?{S}
 Maybe I could do that.{S}
 Show them Oghren's still got it in him...{S}
 I have got my tankard--you can do the defending my honor part, if you like.{S}
 Oh, ho... he has someone to defend him.{S}
 What say we teach the newcomer a lesson, and then move on to the worthless sod himself?{S}
 You are in the Fade, do not believe what you see!{S}
 It is the demon's doing.{S}
 It should wear off eventually.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 It is the Fade playing tricks with your mind.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 You should not put up with this.{S}
 You do not have to do anything.{S}
 I will do it for you.{S}
 Do something!{S}
 I am not letting them speak to you like that.{S}
 Why do you tolerate it?{S}
 Oh, get off your ass, you drunk.{S}
 How do you manage to find ale no matter where you go?{S}
 They died and I did not stop it.{S}
 What use is my life now that I have failed in the task that was given me?{S}
 I do not know what you are trying to tell me.{S}
 Why must you make this more painful?{S}
 I trusted you as an ally and you were nowhere to be found.{S}
 I do not know what this will accomplish, but I will do this, if it will satisfy you.{S}
 I do not remember anything of them dying.{S}
 Do not leave us, Wynne.{S}
 We do not want to be alone.{S}
 Do not fight it.{S}
 My task is not yet done... it is not time yet.{S}
 I... have not considered that.{S}
 I have always had an affinity for the Fade, and I would assume I would be able to recognize it.{S}
 I have never had so much trouble...{S}
 You do not know me.{S}
 You have no right to make such judgments.{S}
 I can see it, I just do not believe it.{S}
 This is getting rather morbid.{S}
 Please think about what you are doing here and why.{S}
 Do you remember anything that came before this?{S}
 Because they did not.{S}
 Being away from here should make you feel better.{S}
 You have to defeat them to leave.{S}
 It does not have to make sense.{S}
 It is a trick, designed to keep you here in your misery.{S}
 Do you recall when I abandoned you to this?{S}
 To fall apart so easily just does not seem like you.{S}
 You have to fight this feeling, whatever it is.{S}
 I am finding it hard to feel sympathy for demons.{S}
 Do not believe it, Wynne.{S}
 We will make you scream yet, apprentice.{S}
 I would not... want you to hold back.{S}
 I would be disappointed if you... did.{S}
 This one has spirit.{S}
 It is a shame we have to break him.{S}
 What... what are you doing here?{S}
 I need to stay strong.{S}
 I need to show them I can tolerate... pain.{S}
 That is a very, very bad thing to do, is not it?{S}
 Do not you remember the Circle?{S}
 You do not have to.{S}
 I need you to help me fight these demons.{S}
 I demand you let him go this minute.{S}
 I will not have you threaten a friend of mine.{S}
 234494 : 234495 : 234500 : You have freed Alistair from his dream.{S}
 However, he seems to have disappeared again.{S}
 With any luck, he is already made his way out of the Fade. <emp>Free Alistair</emp>{S}
 You have located your dog and freed him.{S}
 However, he appears to have run off again.{S}
 Hopefully he is already made his way out of the Fade. <emp>Free <DogName/></emp>{S}
 You have freed Leliana from her dream of being back in the cloister.{S}
 However, she seems to have gone on without you. <emp>Free Leliana</emp>{S}
 You found Loghain, lost in a dream.{S}
 You freed him but then lost him again.{S}
 It is possible he is already left the Fade. <emp>Free Loghain</emp>{S}
 Lost in the Fade: Loghain <emp>Free Morrigan</emp>{S}
 Lost in the Fade: Morrigan <emp>Free Oghren</emp>{S}
 You freed Shale.{S}
 Shale, being Shale, appears to have left you, again.{S}
 Perhaps you will meet in another part of the Fade. <emp>Free Shale</emp>{S}
 Lost in the Fade: Shale <emp>Free Sten</emp>{S}
 Lost in the Fade: Sten <emp>Free Wynne</emp>{S}
 Lost in the Fade: Wynne <emp>Free Zevran</emp>{S}
 How did I not see this earlier?{S}
 Try not to tell everyone how easily fooled I was.{S}
 I do love pie.{S}
 Oh, that is what everyone says about their relatives, but I have never been happier.{S}
 I am overjoyed to have my little brother back.{S}
 I will never let him out of my sight again!{S}
 I am allowed to change my mind, are not I?{S}
 Maybe she will make her mince pie.{S}
 All right, if it makes you happy.{S}
 Alistair, come and have some tea.{S}
 Something does not feel quite right here.{S}
 I... think I have to go.{S}
 He is ours, and I would rather see him dead than free!{S}
 I do not feel like thinking right now.{S}
 I think your odd behavior is brought on by hunger.{S}
 Now come and have some pie.{S}
 Sometimes I just do not understand you.{S}
 I would make a terrible king!{S}
 Do not be silly.{S}
 I have never had a real family, before.{S}
 I... do not think I will be coming.{S}
 I do not want to spend my life fighting, only to end up dead in a pit along with rotting darkspawn corpses.{S}
 I am happier than I have been my entire life.{S}
 I thought being a Grey Warden would make me happy, but it did not.{S}
 This does.{S}
 The demon probably did something to your head.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 But Goldanna wants nothing to do with you, remember?{S}
 Think about this and how you got here.{S}
 Yes, we have wasted enough time here.{S}
 The sloth demon, do you remember that?{S}
 That is when we got trapped in the Fade, where we are now.{S}
 I will find some way to free you, Alistair.{S}
 I am trying to save you, you stupid oaf!{S}
 You were not made for a quiet family life.{S}
 We have to get you away from her before this gets worse.{S}
 Do not believe any of this.{S}
 This is starting to get a little creepy.{S}
 We have business elsewhere.{S}
 Get away from them, Alistair.{S}
 Who do you want to be in your party, Alistair or Loghain?{S}
 Should Morrigan be in the party when the climax starts?{S}
 No - the player kicked her out of the party <emp>Seek out Arl Eamon</emp>{S}
 Alistair thinks that you should seek the help of Eamon Guerrin, the arl of Redcliffe.{S}
 Arl Eamon is a highly respected noble and has a great deal of influence in the Landsmeet.{S}
 Let us see what this Riordan has to say.{S}
 So it is done.{S}
 You said before that you did not wish to take the final blow.{S}
 So allow me.{S}
 Come, let us not fool each other.{S}
 My joining the Grey Wardens was a death sentence.{S}
 If I survived the Joining, it seems only fitting that it can be because I was destined to perish here.{S}
 Do you think I will be remembered as a hero?{S}
 If I can die a hero in the service of Ferelden, then I do so gladly.{S}
 Nothing about what I have done has been easy.{S}
 But I have much to atone for, and if my death can serve some purpose here, then I would greet it gladly.{S}
 I would have expected you to kill me for what I did to you and you did not.{S}
 You have proven... a friend.{S}
 Please, I have done... so much wrong.{S}
 Allow me to do one last thing right.{S}
 I would have expected you to kill me for what I did to you, and yet you did not.{S}
 We have fought together, but we are not friends... nor should we be.{S}
 Allowing me to take this blow in your stead should cause you no remorse.{S}
 There is no love lost between us, and no reason for my death to cause you remorse.{S}
 Allow me one last act to make up for what I have done.{S}
 After all that I have done, I would think there'd be no argument from you or anyone.{S}
 The Grey Wardens could not have chosen finer.{S}
 Would that I had been wise enough to realize that sooner.{S}
 You have defeated the Blight before it could truly begin.{S}
 My only regret is that my foolishness almost prevented you from doing so.{S}
 I do my duty now as I always have: with all my heart.{S}
 There is no need for you to take the final blow.{S}
 Allow me.{S}
 That is... an odd way to begin.{S}
 Very well, you have my attention.{S}
 I owe you a great deal, though I would never have foreseen this coming to pass.{S}
 Had someone asked me not weeks ago, I would have said such a thing to be patently impossible.{S}
 But as events have proven to me, life is anything but predictable.{S}
 If you have something to tell me of, then do so.{S}
 I do not care for the sound of that.{S}
 I should never underestimate your capacity to do the unexpected, but this seems a stretch even for you.{S}
 That at least makes some manner of sense.{S}
 So you have said.{S}
 It smacks of blood magic to me, but I have resorted to it myself when needed.{S}
 If Riordan fails, simply let me take that final blow.{S}
 Let me make amends for what I have done, if it comes to that.{S}
 I could die before ever reaching the dragon.{S}
 Do not ask me to be a part of it.{S}
 Perhaps not, but if you are so... attached, then why do you not lie with the woman?{S}
 I find it difficult to believe I am so special.{S}
 You could order me to obey you, yet you do not. <desc>Sigh</desc> If... this is truly what you think is wise, then I will... do as you ask.{S}
 Let us find the marsh witch and do this thing quickly, before I change my mind.{S}
 I cannot do this.{S}
 My dignity is all I have left, and I will surrender it only if you order me to.{S}
 You demand a great deal, but I suppose I am bound to obey you now, am I not?{S}
 I have done far worse in the name of duty.{S}
 Based on what you have told me?{S}
 If you wish me to do this thing, you must order me to do so.{S}
 I have no need to save my own life, but if this could save yours... you need not pay for my mistakes any more than you have.{S}
 I have little reason to refuse.{S}
 Give me an order or leave me be.{S}
 I am willing to do whatever it takes if Riordan fails to slay the dragon.{S}
 Either way, if you wish me to do this thing, you will have to order me.{S}
 I will not do it otherwise.{S}
 Truth be told, I have done far worse in the name of duty... but this is your doing, not mine.{S}
 That will have to be enough.{S}
 I intend to get some rest while I can.{S}
 I am not seeking glory or an end to my punishment; I am thinking only of my duty.{S}
 Do not ask it of me.{S}
 Do not ask me to do this thing.{S}
 Surely not a request made out of sentiment.{S}
 Do not ask it of me.{S}
 I do not trust that witch and have no idea why you do.{S}
 Do not ask me to be a part of it. <desc>Scoffs</desc> You are joking.{S}
 I... see that you are not. <desc>Sigh</desc> I suppose I should not underestimate your capacity to take the bizarre approach when required.{S}
 That makes sense.{S}
 I have never heard of such a rite.{S}
 It sounds like nothing the Circle has ever spoken of.{S}
 My life requires no saving.{S}
 I would not want anyone else to pay for my mistakes, it is true.{S}
 My life requires no saving.{S}
 Quite frankly, I see no pressing need for yours to be preserved, either, though you no doubt disagree.{S}
 I see, so simply do as I am told by my superior Grey Warden?{S}
 That is what you would have me do?{S}
 I can, however, understand looking for an advantage in battle no matter where it comes from.{S}
 But what manner of advantage can this offer?{S}
 I have never heard of a spell that calls for... such an act.{S}
 Why did the witch not come and speak to me of this herself?{S}
 Of... everything I might have thought you would ask of me, that is indeed the very last.{S}
 You already stated that you did not wish to take the final blow.{S}
 As for me, you need not concern yourself.{S}
 I made a mistake.{S}
 A mistake I intend to make up for, if it comes to that.{S}
 I intend to do my duty.{S}
 I have no intention of avoiding the battle or fleeing, if that is what you speak of.{S}
 You need not concern yourself for my welfare.{S}
 I find the direct method is best.{S}
 But now you have changed the subject.{S}
 I would prefer to change it back, unless there is a reason to avoid discussing why you have come?{S}
 I intend to get some rest while there is still time.{S}
 I suggest you do the same.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 You want to take the easy way out.{S}
 I can not allow that.{S}
 I am sorry, but I have to do this myself.{S}
 Do it, then.{S}
 But do not expect a thank you.{S}
 I can not let you do that.{S}
 Morrigan brought me an offer, actually.{S}
 Loghain, we need to talk.{S}
 You and I have become friends, right?{S}
 I need you to do something you will not like.{S}
 I need you to sleep with Morrigan.{S}
 Do you think I would ask this if it wasn't important?{S}
 We do not have time to go over this.{S}
 Just agree to do it.{S}
 Do you really want to die?{S}
 I hereby order you to do as I have asked.{S}
 No, I will not order you to do this.{S}
 So you can have the easy way out?{S}
 I do not want you to die either, Loghain.{S}
 We will do it your way.{S}
 Do not you want that?{S}
 Do not ask so many questions.{S}
 You just need to do it.{S}
 You must take part in a magic ritual.{S}
 Because you need to sleep with her.{S}
 No, I can not do this.{S}
 Do you want to die?{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 I thought I would find you asleep, to be honest.{S}
 Morrigan brought some important news.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 We need to talk.{S}
 I do not want to bother you.{S}
 Ugh... my head feels heavy, like I have just woken up from a terrible nightmare.{S}
 I believe we had... some task to accomplish.{S}
 Let us be on our way--wait, what is happening to me?{S}
 Blessed art thou who seeks His forgiveness...{S}
 I beg you, do not disturb the girl's meditations.{S}
 Revered Mother, I do not know this person.{S}
 Please, do not vex her.{S}
 She needs quiet and solitude, to calm her mind and heal her heart.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Leliana, we have discussed this... "sign" of yours.{S}
 The Maker does not care to interfere in the affairs of mortals.{S}
 This "vision" was likely the work of demons.{S}
 The Maker cares for us.{S}
 My vision may not be from Him, but it guides me to do what is right.{S}
 I do not know who you are, but you are not her.{S}
 Let us leave.{S}
 My head has not yet cleared, but there is something familiar about you and I believe I... trust you.{S}
 Do you truly wish to leave the comfort of this place behind?{S}
 There is no need.{S}
 I carry the peace of the Chantry in my heart.{S}
 There is something familiar about you, and I find myself trusting you, as odd as that may sound.{S}
 I do not know you.{S}
 Please, let me be!{S}
 Leave now, or I shall be forced to take steps!{S}
 I will deal with you and then our hold over the girl will be absolute!{S}
 I do not know what you are talking about, and I find your harassment quite uncalled for.{S}
 We have given her succor when she was lost.{S}
 I am sorry, but I-I do not know what you are talking about.{S}
 You should have listened to me.{S}
 Leliana, what are you doing?{S}
 Do not know me?{S}
 Do not you remember why you left the cloister?{S}
 Do not listen to her.{S}
 You have come to your senses.{S}
 She is free.{S}
 We need to go, as soon as you are ready.{S}
 The Maker does care, Leliana, and one day He will return.{S}
 You have to trust me when I say it is not real.{S}
 Come with me then, we have work to do.{S}
 We can discuss this later, we must get out of here now.{S}
 Do your worst.{S}
 But the Circle Tower... we had a task to complete, remember?{S}
 What have you done to her?{S}
 We are friends, do not you remember?{S}
 The Fade is playing tricks with your mind.{S}
 Morrigan has asked that you convince Loghain to lie with her tonight, to conceive a child that will become a vessel for the essence of an Old God. <emp>Inform Morrigan of Loghain's consent</emp>{S}
 You have convinced Loghain to perform the ritual with Morrigan.{S}
 Tonight, he will join with her, to conceive a child that will become a vessel for the essence of an Old God.{S}
 Loghain has agreed to perform the ritual with Morrigan.{S}
 Tonight, he will join with her to conceive a child that will become a vessel for the essence of an Old God.{S}
 You have finally arrived in Denerim.{S}
 There is little time to waste; every moment that passes brings Denerim, and Ferelden, closer to destruction. <emp>Last rest before the battle</emp>{S}
 You have gathered your armies, and it is time to lead them against the greatest threat that Ferelden has seen in centuries.{S}
 We can speak more after the meeting with the king.{S}
 Do not bother the sten.{S}
 We have a guest.{S}
 Make room at the fire.{S}
 We have been days in this place.{S}
 I remember seeing the karashok there have his head torn off.{S}
 Let the Blight come.{S}
 No, they do not.{S}
 And what has that accomplished?{S}
 Revenge... what good does that do them?{S}
 I wish we did not have to taste this.. what is this, anyway?{S}
 I owe them a victory.{S}
 I do. <desc>Sigh</desc> And... <desc>Sigh</desc> I did.{S}
 You can not abandon your post.{S}
 We will not let you leave us again!{S}
 Let it wait.{S}
 That should end it.{S}
 That would take care of it <emp>and</emp> do us a favor.{S}
 Has it seen darkspawn?{S}
 Do not interrupt the sten, karashok.{S}
 Though I do not suggest you eat anything the karashok cooks.{S}
 Unless you enjoy spending time in the latrine.{S}
 Then why do not <emp>you</emp> cook, kadan?{S}
 I would swear that I have already told you both to shut up.{S}
 What do you mean, "you know?"{S}
 So let us get moving.{S}
 Because we have got a Blight to end.{S}
 Because we do not want to die here.{S}
 Do not you want to avenge them?{S}
 Soldiers of the Beresaad do not waste time dreaming.{S}
 Do not you want vengeance?{S}
 Do not you want to avenge these men?{S}
 You owe the arishok a report.{S}
 You gave your word to aid me.{S}
 We need to go, Sten; there is a demon waiting for us.{S}
 You must reach Fort Drakon's roof, one of the highest points in Denerim.{S}
 Riordan says the archdemon will call its generals to it once attacked, so it might be prudent to seek out these generals and deal with them before you engage the archdemon.{S}
 Do you mean your people have no female mages or warriors?{S}
 They do not wish to be men.{S}
 That can only lead to frustration.{S}
 Let us drop this.{S}
 Do not be alarmed.{S}
 I said that you and I were not yet done, and we are not.{S}
 I have watched you, and now it is time we speak again.{S}
 No one pays attention to animals.{S}
 Yet I needed to come.{S}
 I have not come to attack you.{S}
 Do not be alarmed.{S}
 I did not come here to speak of sentimental things.{S}
 I snuck past the guards, but I have announced myself to you.{S}
 I have a plan, you see.{S}
 I have come to tell you this does not need to be.{S}
 How I know is not quite as important as what I am offering you, however.{S}
 That they will be there to take that blow?{S}
 I offer another alternative.{S}
 I offer a way out.{S}
 A way out for all the Grey Wardens, that there need be no sacrifice.{S}
 I have known about it for some time.{S}
 I did.{S}
 Would you have believed me if I had been the one to tell you?{S}
 I have my doubts.{S}
 Some would call it blood magic, but I think recent days have taught you this is not always to be feared.{S}
 Some might call it blood magic, but that is but a name.{S}
 There is far more to fear in this world than names.{S}
 Surely the mere mention of it does not stir in you the same ignorant fear that it does in others?{S}
 Anything to do with magic stirs one's fear, especially amongst those who do not understand it.{S}
 But that price need not be so unbearable, especially if there is much to be gained.{S}
 We have become very close, you and I.{S}
 Even if you do not trust me, know that I wish you no harm... not tomorrow, and certainly not now.{S}
 I have fought at your side and risked death for you and more.{S}
 Even if you do not trust me, know that I wish you no harm... not tomorrow, and certainly not now.{S}
 And what if you find yourself facing the dreaded archdemon alone come the battle?{S}
 Are you so willing to let him perish?{S}
 All I ask is that you listen to what I have to offer, nothing more.{S}
 And from our joining, a child will be conceived.{S}
 The child will bear the taint, and when the archdemon is slain, its essence will seek the child like a beacon.{S}
 Think about what I offer you: the chance to avoid death.{S}
 No Grey Warden has ever done this.{S}
 After this is done, you allow me to walk away... and you do not follow.{S}
 The child will be mine to raise as I wish.{S}
 I do not "know" it will work.{S}
 I do, however, have every confidence in my mother's magic.{S}
 She was the one who first gave me this ritual and told me of what I was meant to do.{S}
 This does not surprise you, does it?{S}
 Did you not wonder why Flemeth saved your life, why she aided you?{S}
 What is important is that I am offering this to you now.{S}
 It will work and it will save your life.{S}
 Then have you decided?{S}
 Allow me to say that what I seek is the essence of the Old God that once was and not the dark forces that corrupted it.{S}
 Make of that what you will.{S}
 I do not wish to tell you.{S}
 Is that not reason enough to do it?{S}
 I will raise the child apart from the rest of society, and teach it to respect that from which it came.{S}
 Beyond that you need know nothing else.{S}
 This is all I ask in return for freeing you from the burden the Grey Wardens have placed upon you.{S}
 I have no doubt he may.{S}
 But even if he does, he will not.{S}
 Caring for you as I have come to... that was not part of the plan.{S}
 It is why she saved your life to begin with.{S}
 Caring for you... was not part of the plan.{S}
 But I cannot let what I feel interfere with what I must do.{S}
 The fact that it may save your life makes me all the more determined to see it done.{S}
 Please do not... cloud the issue.{S}
 If you feel anything for me, then accept that it will make what we must do... that much easier.{S}
 After the archdemon has been slain?{S}
 Refuse my offer, however, and I leave now.{S}
 Do you truly believe that she would condemn you or any other Grey Warden to death when it could be avoided?{S}
 Do you really believe that he would risk your death when it could be avoided?{S}
 Consider the possibility that Riordan may not be there to make the final blow as he plans, what then?{S}
 Do you run away?{S}
 Do you let Alistair, the future king of Ferelden, take the blow instead?{S}
 And what if he does not make it to the archdemon, either?{S}
 Do you let Loghain take the blow instead?{S}
 Allow him to die a hero and overshadow you?{S}
 And what if he does not make it to the archdemon?{S}
 I am glad to make this offer to you, after all we have meant to each other.{S}
 Would you truly choose death rather than lay with me for one night?{S}
 If you care for him as you seem to, you will convince him to.{S}
 Do you think Alistair will fail to do his duty as the future king and save his country?{S}
 And if you take the blow instead he loses the woman he loves.{S}
 How do you think he would feel about that?{S}
 You will advise him to do so, and because he trusts you more than he would ever trust me, he will comply.{S}
 If Riordan fails, do you think Alistair will hesitate?{S}
 What do you think she would advise, if she knew the life of her beloved was at risk?{S}
 You have good reasons to tell him to save his own life, if you will not take part in the ritual yourself.{S}
 I think you have many good reasons to tell him to save his own life.{S}
 What do you think he would advise, if he knew the life of his beloved was at risk?{S}
 I need one who has not been tainted for long-- it must be him, and it must be tonight.{S}
 If Riordan fails, do you think Loghain will hesitate?{S}
 Will they remember you, do you think?{S}
 He is a Grey Warden just as you are, and would also serve for the ritual.{S}
 The trick, of course, would be to get him to comply.{S}
 I care for you, and would prefer you to be the father of this child were there a hundred Grey Wardens here tonight.{S}
 But if you will not do it, then I must find another.{S}
 Do not let your foolish pride condemn you!{S}
 No Grey Warden asked for the sacrifice that is now demanded of them, and I offer all of you a way out.{S}
 Or be overshadowed, I care not.{S}
 I do what I must, now, and so shall you.{S}
 Should you live past the morrow, seek me out at your own peril.{S}
 And I have done nothing for you?{S}
 I have offered you nothing?{S}
 Do not speak to me of gratitude.{S}
 Would that I could have helped you.{S}
 That is your doing, however, and not mine.{S}
 You should have thought of that sooner.{S}
 Now you will never have that chance.{S}
 Put the thoughts of the ritual aside and let us make this last night together one to remember.{S}
 Come to me, then, and we shall make this last night together something to remember.{S}
 Think about what I offer you: you will live, as will Alistair.{S}
 You could slay the archdemon and live as a hero, something no Grey Warden has ever done.{S}
 Loghain has no reason to listen to me.{S}
 You of all people could command him to do as I ask.{S}
 'Twould seem your talk is done?{S}
 Has a decision been reached?{S}
 Honesty would not have been <emp>my</emp> first choice.{S}
 I just want to be sure that you are not going to use this-- against Ferelden.{S}
 Of that you have my word. <desc>Sigh</desc> Why do not I feel any better about this?{S}
 Let us... just get this over with.{S}
 You know, dinner would have been nice... maybe a bit of wine?{S}
 Still, I am glad to see that it has been done.{S}
 Let us go somewhere more private, Alistair.{S}
 I have a question about this child that will supposedly be born of this.{S}
 I will do this only if I can be sure that this child will not be used to plague Ferelden.{S}
 Anora does not need a "little brother" to appear and lay a claim on her throne.{S}
 I have my orders, then... do as you will.{S}
 You will have to forgive me if I shut my eyes and think of my dead wife.{S}
 You would rather make love to a desiccated corpse than me?{S}
 Let us go somewhere more private, Loghain.{S}
 This will not take long at all.{S}
 I did not realize that was an option.{S}
 Unless you have changed your mind...?{S}
 The witch wishes to get right to the point, it seems.{S}
 Do not be a fool.{S}
 This must be done.{S}
 I told you that this could not be, did I not?{S}
 Do what you must.{S}
 How did you get in here?{S}
 Thought to catch me off-guard, did you?{S}
 Do not you have your own bedroom?{S}
 Finally decided to betray me, have you?{S}
 And how do you know about this?{S}
 Why did you not mention this earlier, then?{S}
 I have no intention of sacrificing myself.{S}
 Does not need to be?{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 And from where did you get this ritual, Morrigan?{S}
 I am not going to use blood magic just to save myself.{S}
 I do not trust this.{S}
 I do not trust you.{S}
 I have no interest in your ritual.{S}
 I do not need to hear any more.{S}
 You want to... have my child?{S}
 How do you even know this will work?{S}
 What do you intend to do with this child?{S}
 I need to know what you plan.{S}
 Is this why you have been so... friendly to me?{S}
 You do not think I will actually go through with this?{S}
 I will do it myself, then.{S}
 You think I would tell Alistair to do this, instead?{S}
 You think I would tell Loghain to do this, instead?{S}
 I will do it myself.{S}
 You have my answer.{S}
 And bring some demon-spawn into the world?{S}
 I do not intend to die, and I do not need your ritual.{S}
 But I will be the one to do it.{S}
 Then go, if that is what you want to do.{S}
 You are an ungrateful bitch, after all I have done for you!{S}
 Please do not do this.{S}
 Please do not do this.{S}
 Do not go.{S}
 But I need your help against the archdemon.{S}
 I never asked you to come back, did I?{S}
 I should have killed you long ago.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 Alistair has agreed to your... request.{S}
 Loghain has agreed to your... request.{S}
 Yes, I suppose I have no choice.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 Loghain has agreed.{S}
 Alistair has agreed.{S}
 Then it ends here.{S}
 Morrigan, I do not want to lose you.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 I will do this myself.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 I have no idea how I will convince him.{S}
 I apologize, but there are urgent matters I must deal with.{S}
 Please seek me out another time.{S}
 Here I do not feel the ebb and flow of the trees and the earth.{S}
 It is he that you seek, yes?{S}
 I do not wish to hear its roar in my heart, lest my courage waver.{S}
 We risk much, then, to race to meet him.{S}
 I need speak of nothing at all to you.{S}
 I must prepare myself for the battle that is to come.{S}
 And what do you feel?{S}
 If you can offer anything concrete, do so.{S}
 I did not realize you were going to leave the forest.{S}
 Keep your prophecies to yourself.{S}
 I cannot imagine what we shall do once we encounter it.{S}
 Do you have a plan?{S}
 If you will excuse me, I need to meditate to gather my strength if I am to be of any use to you come the morning.{S}
 Well, let us hope it is enough.{S}
 Truly I do not, and more's the pity.{S}
 We do.{S}
 Do you have a suggestion?{S}
 I hear news from Denerim that Teyrn Loghain has been declared the new regent.{S}
 Makes sense, his daughter being the queen.{S}
 Some folks are not happy about Teyrn Loghain being named regent.{S}
 There are rumors he had something to do with the king's death.{S}
 If Teyrn Loghain could not save the king from that end, then nobody could.{S}
 Thing is, there is not a lot of spare men to be found.{S}
 Out at Dragon's Peak, there is press gangs roaming around grabbing any free man they can lay their hands on.{S}
 Thank the Maker that we did not lose Teyrn Loghain at Ostagar.{S}
 She is made her father the regent, however, at least for now.{S}
 I think Cailan's father, old King Maric, would have approved.{S}
 I hear tell they held the funeral in Denerim for King Cailan.{S}
 Too bad they do not have a body to properly burn.{S}
 If he were here, he could put a stop to all this talk of civil war for sure.{S}
 If the bannorn stand up against Loghain, we will not need the darkspawn to destroy us.{S}
 We will do their work for them!{S}
 Have you heard?{S}
 Loghain has named Arl Rendon Howe as the new teyrn of Denerim, with the arling going to Howe's eldest son.{S}
 I wonder what got Arl Howe such a promotion.{S}
 I hear rumor that Orlesian forces that were coming to help us fight the darkspawn have been turned back at the mountain crossing.{S}
 You would almost think we could use their help against those monsters, though part of me is glad we will not have Ferelden full of Orlesian bastards again.{S}
 More Grey Wardens were supposed to come here from Orlais, but I hear they got turned back.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain had one of the bannorn arrested for speaking out against him.{S}
 It seems the bann was talking treason, about how Loghain needed to be forcibly removed from the throne... but arrested?{S}
 Someone told me that he was meeting with Loghain to talk terms, but I do not believe it.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain has announced that what happened to Bann Bronach will happen to any other nobleman who does not live up to the oath he swore to serve the throne.{S}
 Seems like more fighting is inevitable at this point, does not it?{S}
 Arl Wulff has gone to Denerim to plead his case with Teyrn Loghain, I hear.{S}
 West Hills has been hit hard by the darkspawn, and Wulff wants the fighting over the throne to stop.{S}
 Bann Ceorlic has announced that he is siding with the throne.{S}
 He probably fears what Loghain might do to him if he turns.{S}
 From the sounds of it, I think the forces accidentally crossed each other and began fighting.{S}
 I do not think they are listening, though.{S}
 They say the queen does what her father tells her.{S}
 I heard a story today--Bann Grainne put her own fields to the torch rather than let Loghain's men feed off them.{S}
 Some of the soldiers got angry and chased the woman down in her own manor, putting a sword through her.{S}
 She had a right to do with her crop as she pleased.{S}
 I do not know who did it, but the men were hit while they were camping for the night.{S}
 The whole lot of them taken by surprise.{S}
 Their tents were set on fire with arrows, and I hear over two dozen died.{S}
 It seems that Teyrn Loghain has responded to the ambush on his men near Highever.{S}
 Group of his best hunted down the ones who did it.{S}
 That is a grim thing to do to someone.{S}
 There is outrage over what Teyrn Loghain did to the hunters out of Oswin.{S}
 Letting a man starve, helpless?{S}
 I think Teyrn Loghain meant that to be a lesson, to make everyone think twice about continuing this fight.{S}
 It is going to do exactly the opposite, you ask me.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain is trying to put it down as we speak, but I understand it is not going well.{S}
 As panic begins to rise from the darkspawn's approach, there is more and more word of riots.{S}
 There are people already fleeing north for the Free Marches.{S}
 A bunch of the bannorn met Loghain at Iachus Valley, and from the sound of it, the bannorn outnumbered him.{S}
 I wonder if that will settle the issue, now... but somehow I have my doubts.{S}
 Prince Bhelen will not give you an audience until you prove yourself trustworthy.{S}
 Vartag Gavorn has charged you with the task of showing Lord Helmi and Lady Dace promissory notes as evidence of Harrowmont's cheating ways.{S}
 Vartag says Lord Helmi can often be found in Tapsters, in the Commons, while Lady Dace seldom leaves the Diamond Quarter.{S}
 Vartag was pleased by the way you handled the task given to you.{S}
 You have earned an audience with Prince Bhelen. <emp>Decide if you will help Prince Bhelen's cause and inform Vartag of your intent</emp>{S}
 Prince Bhelen will not give you an audience until you prove yourself trustworthy.{S}
 Vartag Gavorn has asked that you show Lord Helmi and Lady Dace promissory notes as evidence of Harrowmont's cheating ways.{S}
 Vartag says Dace can often be found in Tapsters, in the Commons, while Lord Helmi seldom leaves the Diamond Quarter.{S}
 You failed to complete the task Vartag Gavorn set you.{S}
 Prince Bhelen will not give you an audience until you prove yourself trustworthy.{S}
 You have spoken with both Lord Helmi and Lady Dace, and convinced them that Harrowmont is not to be trusted.{S}
 It is time to return to Vartag in the Chamber of the Assembly to see if any progress has been made.{S}
 You and Soris have infiltrated the palace to rescue your brides and the other women of the wedding party.{S}
 The wandering Dalish elves, if brought together, are a force to be reckoned with.{S}
 Go to the Dalish elves and seek their help to fight the Blight.{S}
 Have you come to help us?{S}
 The darkspawn have attacked Lothering.{S}
 I do not think everyone even had fled by the time they came, either.{S}
 Word has it they swarmed the entire area, making off with prisoners and burning down the buildings--and then were gone just as quick.{S}
 I heard some chanters were going to head down south, maybe try to find survivors.{S}
 I am not holding out hope, myself.{S}
 But how the teyrn is going to raise a proper army now is anyone's guess.{S}
 I am beginning to wonder if the rumors about him are true.{S}
 I have heard a lot of stories of bands of darkspawn roaming the countryside, far north of the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 I heard tell of a man meeting his own brother on the field.{S}
 Yet when he called out to him, his brother did not even recognize him and just attacked.{S}
 Folk on the roads say they are seeing wagons abandoned, belongings left in the middle of the road with no one to be seen anywhere.{S}
 And no corpses to be found.{S}
 The darkspawn are taking them--there is no other explanation.{S}
 With the defeat at Ostagar, it will be inevitable that the darkspawn horde starts moving north soon.{S}
 They have no one standing in their way, do they?{S}
 They seem as disorganized as we do, scattering all over the place in great mobs.{S}
 Maybe there is something to the talk that this is not a proper Blight, that there is no archdemon leading the lot.{S}
 A freehold not far from here was found deserted the other day.{S}
 Darkspawn came out of nowhere and made off with everyone, not a body to be found.{S}
 Some people say they eat the ones they capture.{S}
 Some people say it is worse things they need.{S}
 If the teyrn keeps fighting with the bannorn, between that and the Blight there will be no one left to fight the darkspawn.{S}
 I should take you to Bann Teagan.{S}
 He is all that is holding us together.{S}
 Hold on.{S}
 He is deathly ill... and we do not even know if he is still alive.{S}
 The Urn holding Her Ashes is a myth, and yet these knights say they were sent to find it anyhow to heal Arl Eamon.{S}
 I did not even know he was ill.{S}
 Maybe he has the Blight?{S}
 Refugees from the south are already giving word of the land itself being corrupted.{S}
 If Ferelden does not raise an army to protect itself, surely they will come, no?{S}
 Everyone is saying that the darkspawn horde has gathered itself and is heading north towards Redcliffe.{S}
 News is that Gwaren has been overrun by the darkspawn in the southeast.{S}
 I hope most of them got out on ships before the horde arrived.{S}
 Gwaren is in the regent's own teyrnir, too, and he did not lift a finger to save them.{S}
 All Teyrn Loghain seems to be able to do is fight to keep his daughter on the throne.{S}
 You would be best heading north to the Free Marches while you still can.{S}
 I hear the dwarven king has passed on.{S}
 Exactly what we need, is not it?{S}
 Let us hope the mages are just cooking up something to deal with the darkspawn.{S}
 Some hunters who range into the Brecilian Forest say that a Dalish clan there has fallen to some kind of sickness.{S}
 I heard from some travelers that something bad might have happened in Redcliffe.{S}
 There is knights from Redcliffe spread all over Ferelden on some kind of mission, but I hear that they are starting to become rare to find.{S}
 More likely they got tired of searching for something that can not be found and abandoned their search.{S}
 I wonder what Arl Eamon is going to do without any knights?{S}
 The Blight sickness brought by the darkspawn is spreading faster than anyone thought.{S}
 Maric's real son is hidden in the bowels of Denerim's palace and has been since he was born.{S}
 I suppose they feed him cakes all day to keep him content.{S}
 There is talk that King Cailan was cheating on the queen and she found out about it.{S}
 That is why Teyrn Loghain abandoned Cailan at Ostagar.{S}
 I have heard a rumor that the reason Queen Anora has never produced an heir is that she is barren.{S}
 It is a curse from the Maker for bringing a commoner into the royal line.{S}
 Until someone of royal blood is put on the throne, there will never be an heir.{S}
 It seems the royal line of Calenhad has been broken for good, no?{S}
 They are the ones that <emp>caused</emp> the Blight!{S}
 They were getting upset, see, that there was no use for them anymore... so they summoned up the archdemon to do their bidding.{S}
 Just yesterday, a farmer told me about the kitten his daughter had buried behind his barn.{S}
 Habren, daughter of the arl of South Reach, has spent an exorbitant amount of her father's coin buying puppies.{S}
 No one knows what happens to the puppies, and she buys a new one every week.{S}
 Arlessa Isolde, the young Orlesian woman that married Arl Eamon...{S}
 I hear tell she tried to poison her husband so she could marry his brother, Bann Teagan.{S}
 His son, Lord Vaughan, hired Antivan Crows to kill his father before he ever reached the battlefield only to first be killed by a mob of elves himself.{S}
 It is said that the North Road Inn serves a shepherd's pie containing <emp>actual</emp> shepherds.{S}
 Seems the innkeeper has something against the flocks being brought too near his own fields.{S}
 The gates have fallen!{S}
 A large force of darkspawn are preparing an assault on the city gates.{S}
 Hold the Gates{S}
 What can I get you, then?{S}
 You going to make more trouble?{S}
 We have about all we can stand in Lothering now.{S}
 They had it coming, and they were trouble enough themselves.{S}
 So long as you are do not start more, I will not get excited.{S}
 Name's Danal.{S}
 Sorry I can not chat much... as you see, we have a full house.{S}
 That is how many rooms I <emp>do not</emp> have.{S}
 Who knows what she used to be.{S}
 She would not be the first person with a past to join the clergy.{S}
 Of all the strange news... everyone is talking about some brother in Denerim claiming that the Urn of Sacred Ashes has been found!{S}
 Actually found!{S}
 I understand the Chantry is a bit skeptical, and probably will not get a chance to deal with the brother's claim until after the war is ended, but it is incredible even so, do not you think?{S}
 Seems that Arl Eamon has come down with some deadly sickness, probably the Blight, and he may even die.{S}
 If he does, that probably means no one else can stand up to Teyrn Loghain in the Landsmeet.{S}
 There is wonderful news: Arl Eamon has been cured of his strange illness, and not only is he better but he is also called the nobility to Denerim to settle the succession.{S}
 Seems he is found some unknown son of Maric's, of all things, and says he should be the rightful king.{S}
 I just hope they finally get to fighting the darkspawn.{S}
 It is good that Queen Anora has been chosen to remain on the throne.{S}
 Many folk are uncertain about this bastard son of Maric's being chosen for the throne.{S}
 Let us hope that Maric's blood is strong within this Alistair... he will need it.{S}
 So Queen Anora is to marry another son of Maric, is she?{S}
 Perhaps once all this business of war is done, people can turn to a coronation and a royal wedding and think of happier things.{S}
 Despite what he is done, he is still the man who freed Ferelden from the Orlesians with King Maric.{S}
 Some folks are angry that Teyrn Loghain was allowed to become a Grey Warden, considering what he is done.{S}
 The dwarves have themselves a new king, I understand.{S}
 One chosen by a Grey Warden too, if you can believe it.{S}
 Have you heard the startling news out of the mage's tower?{S}
 Seems that with all the chaos, demons were able to take over the tower.{S}
 I know the mages bring it on themselves, but I still can not help feeling sorry for the bastards.{S}
 There is news out of the mage tower that the Circle of Magi had a close call.{S}
 Demons got out, but the mages were able to overcome them... though not without a lot of damage.{S}
 I know mages bring such terror upon themselves, but I have to admit I am glad that we will still have magic to wield against the darkspawn.{S}
 Word out of the Brecilian Forest has it that an entire tribe of Dalish elves were slaughtered... by <emp>werewolves</emp>.{S}
 I did not even think werewolves existed!{S}
 I have heard some strange word out of the Brecilian Forest that Dalish elves are being called together to form some kind of army.{S}
 Does not that beat all?{S}
 When I first heard that, I thought for sure we were done for.{S}
 There is a rumor going around that Teyrn Loghain was being paid by Tevinter slavers who were taking elves from the Denerim Alienage.{S}
 Why would Teyrn Loghain do such a thing?{S}
 I do not know what to tell you.{S}
 I have no qualm with you, whatever the teyrn says.{S}
 My grandfather served.{S}
 If keeping you drunk makes you calm and happy, drinks are on the house.{S}
 What can I get you, stranger?{S}
 I suppose since you told me about you being a Grey Warden, it is only fitting for me to be as open.{S}
 The darkspawn took it all, of course.{S}
 But, we were talking about how I ended up here, were not we?{S}
 But good things must come to an end.{S}
 She looked around for a bit and then started shrieking in dismay.{S}
 Apparently, she believed that a pair of bracers I had for sale once belonged to her brother.{S}
 "They were made specially for him!{S}
 She had me arrested on the spot, of course.{S}
 Well, <emp>I</emp> did not steal them. <desc>Sigh</desc> You see, I had been paying these casteless thugs to venture out into the Deep Roads for me.{S}
 Sometimes you can find a treasure--something worth a little gold.{S}
 I do not know what they planned for me and I did not want to find out.{S}
 Bribed the guard that was watching me and took off for the surface first opportunity I got.{S}
 Now, is there anything the boy or I can get you?{S}
 Then you know whereof I speak, do not you?{S}
 You know what I am talking about, do not you?{S}
 You can think that if you wish, if that gives you comfort.{S}
 Look, we... we do not rob people, all right?{S}
 We do not take things from people that need them.{S}
 The things in the lost thaigs... what good did they do lying there?{S}
 I brought them back to Orzammar where people could look at them and remember.{S}
 There are places long-abandoned by the humans everywhere... even more now, with the darkspawn coming.{S}
 Do not get all indignant with me.{S}
 And sometimes my boy and I... we find our way to these places before the horde descends and we save these things.{S}
 I take them away so the darkspawn do not get them.{S}
 They destroy everything they touch...{S}
 And when it ends, I will go back to finding ruins.{S}
 I do not really have much of a choice.{S}
 Good day then, and may the Maker smile fortune on you. <desc>Sigh</desc> With the mages slain, it will be some time before there will be new goods made.{S}
 Thankfully, the templars are willing to sell me what they can scavenge.{S}
 I do not suppose you would be interested in a purchase while you are here?{S}
 The selection's not all that good right now, but trust me... you will not find some of these things anywhere else!{S}
 The tower has been reopened!{S}
 Care to sample my wares, hm?{S}
 Certainly I do.{S}
 Let me think...{S}
 How do you do, my friend?{S}
 I do not suppose you would be interested in some goods?{S}
 Mostly items made by the Tranquil here at the tower... mind you, that means I haven't a great deal of stock at the moment.{S}
 I supply things they need, and take away goods from the Tranquil at prices better than most get from them elsewhere.{S}
 I hope this does not take too long.{S}
 It will be a relief to do some business instead of sitting around and waiting for the tower to open up again.{S}
 I do not suppose you have any rooms?{S}
 What do you know about the caged qunari outside the village?{S}
 What do you know about this Leliana person?{S}
 Have you heard any rumors?{S}
 You will keep that to yourself.{S}
 I am not here to make trouble.{S}
 Let me see what you have.{S}
 You are quite lucky to have done so well.{S}
 Better to do something with them than leave them to rot.{S}
 And did you steal them?{S}
 I used to be a noble.{S}
 It is nothing you need to know about.{S}
 My brother betrayed me and had me exiled.{S}
 But where do these goods come from?{S}
 I suppose it is better than having the darkspawn take it all.{S}
 Everyone has to make a living somehow.{S}
 You did not mention your son in your tale.{S}
 Let me see your wares, Bodahn.{S}
 Yes, let me see what you have.{S}
 Let me see your goods.{S}
 What are you doing out here?{S}
 What do you sell, exactly?{S}
 Sure, let me see what you have.{S}
 Thank the Maker my brother and his family made it out of Lothering.{S}
 The darkspawn took Lothering, did they?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Well, it will not be much longer until those monsters get here.{S}
 There does not seem to be anyone fighting them now.{S}
 I heard that he may have had something to do with the king's death.{S}
 That does not make any sense!{S}
 We will be lucky if they do not burn down the entire country fighting over the throne.{S}
 So how is it that Teyrn Loghain survived when even the Grey Wardens did not make it out of that place down south?{S}
 I heard he saw just in time what those Grey Wardens were doing and saved his men.{S}
 They deserve what they got, and more!{S}
 Did you see the new recruiters out?{S}
 I would keep your voice down, if I were you.{S}
 They are pressing anyone who can hold a sword into service.{S}
 I have no idea, but I am sure not about to raise my hand, if you catch my meaning.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain is treating free men like they are his servants, I hear.{S}
 We got a horde of darkspawn sitting on our doorstep, do not we?{S}
 Maybe now is not the time to go picking nits.{S}
 You do not have to tell me.{S}
 I am just saying them fellows probably got their reasons, is all.{S}
 Someone ought to put a stop to this fighting.{S}
 There is going to be a civil war, if this keeps up.{S}
 And I do not think Arl Eamon has said anything.{S}
 If anyone could make some sense out of all this, it is Arl Eamon.{S}
 Maker bless him, that is the last thing we need.{S}
 They got a new teyrn of Denerim, I hear.{S}
 A fellow from Highever, Arl Howe, got the position.{S}
 I got no clue.{S}
 Seems like a queer time to be handing out promotions, but maybe they got dead people to replace.{S}
 Looks like the fighting has finally started.{S}
 Too much to hope they would work it out, I guess.{S}
 I hear Bann Bronach got his helmet handed to him.{S}
 Of course he did!{S}
 Teyrn Loghain is out there leading the troops, he is.{S}
 My brother says he is leaving for the Free Marches.{S}
 Says Ferelden is done for.{S}
 Much more of this and I may have to agree with him.{S}
 I hear the regent is saying that any bann that does not do what he tells them is going to get trounced.{S}
 I do not believe that!{S}
 They have to fall in line and fight the darkspawn, or he will make an example.{S}
 That is the word he used.{S}
 That do not sound very Fereldan at all, if you ask me.{S}
 I got a cousin in Bann Farhen's army, too.{S}
 Seems he is making an army.{S}
 Pap always said they were tyrants, and needed a good boot.{S}
 He did not!{S}
 He did.{S}
 Says that the other bannorn are going to get the same.{S}
 Err... do not mind us.{S}
 Got put down by the regent, I heard.{S}
 That is what he would like you to think, I bet.{S}
 What did your uncle say?{S}
 Is he doing what you said?{S}
 I do not see any soldiers around, do you?{S}
 That just about settles it, then, does not it?{S}
 The queen will have the bannorn all lined up soon.{S}
 What the regent's done, that just is not right.{S}
 You can not go treating Fereldan lords like lackeys.{S}
 Should talk about it after the darkspawn are done.{S}
 Maybe the regent is not the only one who can do something about the darkspawn, you ever think of that?{S}
 We haven't done anything... yet.{S}
 So what does a darkspawn look like, anyhow?{S}
 Do they take prisoners?{S}
 I hear they eat you.{S}
 I heard they just got slaves.{S}
 Take you underground and make you work.{S}
 They just get sick and die, I bet.{S}
 Garrison came to take her away.{S}
 We are all going to get sick with it!{S}
 They got armies, do not they?{S}
 If they got enough armies, I would rather have them here than the darkspawn.{S}
 I heard that they are not letting the Orlesians in.{S}
 We have to fight the darkspawn on our own.{S}
 Might have a point, there.{S}
 The wife has been pressing me.{S}
 Says we should take what money we have and try and get on a ship.{S}
 You think you got enough to actually book passage?{S}
 I keep telling her we will just be sold on the Tevinter slave market.{S}
 I would rather be eaten.{S}
 How long before the darkspawn get here, you think?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 The second everyone begins running, I am joining them.{S}
 And who would fight those monsters if they did come?{S}
 I know a fellow who met one.{S}
 That <emp>does</emp> sound like a Grey Warden all right.{S}
 Maybe there is cause to hope yet?{S}
 Did you hear?{S}
 Andraste's Ashes have been found!{S}
 It makes sense they would bring Her Ashes back here.{S}
 I do not believe any of it.{S}
 I do not know why Arl Eamon is complicating things.{S}
 I thought he would calm all this fighting down, not make everyone even more upset.{S}
 Sounds like the end times.{S}
 Maker's breath, as if we do not have enough to worry about.{S}
 Did you speak to that knight yesterday?{S}
 Might as well ask us how to get to the moon.{S}
 As if they did not have anything better to do; I do not get it.{S}
 So this Grey Warden did not become king after all?{S}
 Maybe they just should have made <emp>him</emp> the new king.{S}
 Maybe they just should have made that Grey Warden the new queen.{S}
 So who is this Grey Warden they put on the throne?{S}
 Old Maric spent most of his years fighting the damned Orlesians.{S}
 Soldiers get like that.{S}
 So... the queen is going to marry Cailan's brother?{S}
 Does not that make him her half-brother?{S}
 If he truly was such a terrible man, the Maker will judge him in the end.{S}
 I guess that works out somehow.{S}
 Well you did not think he was going to hang, did you?{S}
 Did the templars kill them all, at least?{S}
 I guess they got better.{S}
 More likely working with the darkspawn to take us over.{S}
 I do not even want to think about it.{S}
 Got a cousin in the templars.{S}
 They are not sure what to do about it yet, he says.{S}
 What is to do?{S}
 Easier said than done.{S}
 Mages pick a fine time to go turn into demons, I tell you.{S}
 There is not much to be had.{S}
 It is all Grey Warden work.{S}
 For letting them mages keep on with their circles.{S}
 Maker would thank us, I bet.{S}
 So why do not them mages just whip up a spell and make those darkspawn go away?{S}
 Smell of the darkspawn, they keep telling me.{S}
 Do not be an idiot.{S}
 They are safe from all these darkspawn I bet.{S}
 They will not let you in.{S}
 You would be out of luck at their door, holding out your hat.{S}
 I would wager all these elves are working with the darkspawn.{S}
 They will gladly sell us down the river.{S}
 Be eaten by darkspawn before the week is over.{S}
 So what makes them Grey Wardens so special anyhow?{S}
 Anyone can pick up a sword.{S}
 If they want to kill them darkspawn, I say let them.{S}
 So I ask him, what is he got that I do not?{S}
 What is to be done?{S}
 What can we do?{S}
 Just keep your head down, that is what.{S}
 Let us go quickly, Warden.{S}
 I do not think we wish to be here when they discover what has happened.{S}
 It took me forever to be rid of those two!{S}
 Start, at city gates{S}
 A visit from the queen to the new arl of Denerim is only a matter of courtesy.{S}
 He calls her every sort of name, "traitor" being the kindest, and locks her in a guest room.{S}
 Just get to the point of this story.{S}
 I guess that did not go well.{S}
 What did he say?{S}
 You have stopped the darkspawn trying to invade the elven alienage and the elves will be safe for now.{S}
 Shianni has rewarded you for your help defending the alienage.{S}
 She has soldiers, let them free her. <emp>Investigate the unrest in the Alienage</emp>{S}
 Queen Anora has told you about unrest in the Alienage.{S}
 She suspects that Loghain and Howe have done something to greatly upset the elves.{S}
 Investigate the Alienage and see if you can find out what Loghain has been up to. <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 The Tevinters are here, supposedly to help, but they are apparently taking both sick and healthy elves into quarantine, and no one ever sees them again.{S}
 Perhaps this is worth investigating. <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 You have learned that there is a plague spreading about the Alienage.{S}
 Men from the Tevinter Imperium are here, supposedly to help, but it seems they are taking both sick and healthy elves into quarantine, and that no one ever sees them again.{S}
 Perhaps this is worth investigating. <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 You played along with one of the quarantine guards and pretended to be ill.{S}
 They have taken you into the quarantine area.{S}
 You can probably locate the other elves from here. <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 You found a key wrapped in a note that seems to indicate something about a shipment of elves.{S}
 Perhaps Shianni would know more. <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 You have discovered that the missing elves have been sold into slavery by Caladrius, a Tevinter slaver.{S}
 You killed him and freed the remaining elves.{S}
 You have discovered that the missing elves have been sold into slavery by Caladrius, a Tevinter slaver.{S}
 You have recovered evidence that shows that Loghain knew about this, and allowed it.{S}
 The elven alienage is under attack! proceed to the gates and stop the darkspawn that are trying to get through.{S}
 Loghain would allow that?{S}
 If the palace guard besiege Howe's estate, my lady will certainly be killed before they can reach her.{S}
 Does he love Anora more?{S}
 Things no decent person would repeat. <desc>Sigh</desc> We can barely keep order here in the village.{S}
 Keeper Marethari has sent you to find Merrill.{S}
 Merrill is the keeper's apprentice and she is to join you in your search for Tamlen. <emp>Speak to Hahren Paivel</emp>{S}
 The keeper has sent you to talk to Hahren Paivel.{S}
 Tamlen is lost to the clan, and Paivel must prepare a ceremony for the dead.{S}
 Meet me there as soon as you can.{S}
 You have asked Paivel to perform the ceremony the keeper asked for; she will likely be able to speak with you now.{S}
 If they find these two missing, they will know... how you say?{S}
 Wait, I need to put on my disguise.{S}
 The public has a right to know!{S}
 I just get paid to speak the truth.{S}
 If you have an issue, speak to my employer!{S}
 A crier's work is never done!{S}

 What more need be said?{S}
 Prince Bhelen was pleased with your performance and has rewarded you for dealing with Jarvia and her carta. <emp>Speak with Prince Bhelen when you are ready</emp>{S}
 You told Prince Bhelen that you would speak with him again when you are ready to do what he wants of you.{S}
 You have killed Jarvia and wiped out most of the carta.{S}
 My lady does not have much time.{S}
 These two know who is allowed to come and go.{S}
 But the uniform should work on most of those inside.{S}
 Vartag Gavorn says you should eliminate Jarvia, as Harrowmont has asked.{S}
 However, once that is done, you are to plant papers in Jarvia's personal effects on or near her corpse that link her operation to one of Harrowmont's relatives.{S}
 Vartag was pleased with what you did, and Prince Bhelen consented to speak with you.{S}
 You failed to deal with Jarvia and her carta. <emp>Return to Vartag</emp>{S}
 The evidence linking the carta to House Harrowmont has also been planted.{S}
 You refused Vartag Gavorn's request to eliminate Jarvia and plant evidence that shows that Harrowmont had ties to the carta. <emp>Plant the papers on Jarvia's body</emp>{S}
 Now it is time to plant the false evidence. <emp>Find Paragon Branka for Prince Bhelen</emp>{S}
 Prince Bhelen Aeducan wants you to venture into the Deep Roads and locate Branka, the Paragon smith, who has been missing for two years.{S}
 You should start there. <emp>Decide if you will help Bhelen find Paragon Branka and inform him of your intent</emp>{S}
 Prince Bhelen Aeducan wants you to venture into the Deep Roads and locate Branka, the Paragon smith, who has been missing for two years.{S}
 You said you needed time to consider this.{S}
 You found Branka, but in the end betrayed Bhelen. <emp>Return to Orzammar</emp>{S}
 You read on the chanter's board about some Blight-infected bears to the north of Lothering causing trouble for the villagers.{S}
 The chanter will pay one sovereign to anyone who manages to slay these bears.{S}
 We have never met. <emp>Find and eliminate Jarvia</emp>{S}
 No one knows where Jarvia's hideout is, but you should be able to find clues to her whereabouts in Dust Town.{S}
 They will drag us all underground to be eaten!{S}
 Did you fall off a cart full of stupid?{S}
 I do not see anything...{S}
 They will eat us all alive!{S}
 Get help!{S}
 If there is something out there and we do not sound the alarm, we will look worse than scared.{S}
 Fine, we will check the courtyard, if it will keep you from wetting yourself.{S}
 The lavender, it has been trampled to nothing!{S}
 The darkspawn care for nothing!{S}
 You have to be joking...{S}
 I do not see anything.{S}
 You will have to come back tomorrow.{S}
 The Carpenters' Crafthall has had enough of Howe's conveniently busy schedule!{S}
 We will not be put off again!{S}
 It is been a month since we have seen so much as a coin of Howe's for our work!{S}
 He will hear your complaints as soon as he has the time--{S}
 We cannot throw men at the castle walls when they are needed to protect the village.{S}
 Our people have families to feed; they can not wait forever on the teyrn's whim!{S}
 Standing out here whining is not getting the door opened for you.{S}
 Do not think we will not take this to the Black Hall!{S}
 We do not care!{S}
 Now, perhaps you could persuade your companion to make a stand with us here tonight?{S}
 He has been ill and... he may be dead for all we know.{S}
 The guard will remove you from the estate by force, if need be.{S}
 Does he think the regent will protect him from the Crafthalls?{S}
 We built this palace of his; we can take it apart, as well.{S}
 Keep yelling.{S}
 Do it, then, and get off our grounds!{S}
 We have already told you to be off!{S}
 Do not make us set the dogs on you.{S}
 You are certain you will not wear the disguise?{S}
 The servants here, they have no love for Howe, but they will be frightened by strangers bursting in.{S}
 I knew you would choose to enter the castle instead of staying in the village... and we needed warriors.{S}
 I had no idea what lurked in the castle!{S}
 And I could not abandon the people of the village!{S}
 No, I do not.{S}
 I arrived recently myself, having heard the news.{S}
 I know as much as you do, now.{S}
 Why did not you enter the castle in the first place?{S}
 And do not you think someone might benefit from this?{S}
 It is best you keep your distance from all of them and try to blend in.{S}
 I do not owe you an explanation.{S}
 I doubt you would have decided to stay and help if I had told you.{S}
 Perhaps I should have gone into the castle earlier... but I could not leave the villagers--{S}
 I will seek out this Urn.{S}
 Find Brother Genitivi--the scholar--in Denerim.{S}
 He has been researching the Urn's location for several years now.{S}
 The knights that returned say that they were unable to find Genitivi, but perhaps the Maker will lead you to him.{S}
 He has been trying to discover the Urn's location for several years now.{S}
 The knights were unable to locate him, but perhaps you can do better than they.{S}
 Hold up!{S}
 I have to go.{S}
 You will have to be quick.{S}
 Then I would appreciate it if you did not bother those of us who would help. <desc>Sigh</desc> No entry, by order of the teyrn.{S}
 I am glad you have decided to help after all.{S}
 How did the old arl's servants ever cook anything in here?{S}
 No one ever said the Kendells had any sense.{S}
 For Andraste's sake, do not speak ill of the dead!{S}
 What do we need all these buckets for?{S}
 Should not you be checking to see if Owen has a stash we could use?{S}
 Should not you be trying to reason with Owen?{S}
 I need to check on something.{S}
 Should I have asked her to write a note?{S}
 Your glibness does you no credit.{S}
 Here I thought we were getting along so well.{S}
 I was even going to name one of my children after you... the grumpy one.{S}
 Get out of my way, fool!{S}
 We just need to know if Owen had anything useful hidden away.{S}
 I hope Owen has a change of heart.{S}
 If we can get some good weapons, we might actually live to see tomorrow.{S}
 Is there anything else I can do?{S}
 Do not spread tales.{S}
 If you can enlist their help, they will prove formidable against the darkspawn.{S}
 What can I do to help?{S}
 Erlina, where have you been?{S}
 I had errands to run for my lady. ...{S}
 What did he say?{S}
 So you have time for idle gossip, have you?{S}
 Why did not anyone tell me the empress of Orlais was working in my kitchen?{S}
 And Teyrn Howe says she is to take dinner in her room!{S}
 Are you making fun of me?{S}
 But I suggest you get on with your business.{S}
 I would greet you properly, but I am afraid we have had... a setback.{S}
 Hurry up, we need to get out of here.{S}
 How do I know you are really Queen Anora?{S}
 Shall I try to shove my crown under the door?{S}
 Do you think the royal family has a secret knock?{S}
 Why did not you mention this before, Erlina?{S}
 How do we open it?{S}
 Have you spoken to the revered mother yourself? <desc>You deftly pick the lock on the door.</desc> <act>Pick the lock on the door.</act> <desc>You fail to pick the lock.{S}
 I did not know!{S}
 Find the mage who cast the spell.{S}
 We must get her out of there!{S}
 I am somewhat amazed at myself for having kept it in place this long.{S}
 It made me very weary at times, but I had to stay strong, to keep us safe.{S}
 Be prepared for anything.{S}
 I do not know what manner of beasts lurk beyond this barrier.{S}
 I suppose it would be prudent to take some time to plan our strategy.{S}
 Did I not see you at Ostagar?{S}
 I am pleased to meet you, Alistair.{S}
 He is a strategist and must have known the darkspawn would overcome them.{S}
 If I find out he knew Loghain was planning this, I will... well, I will not elaborate.{S}
 We should get going, unless you have something else to say.{S}
 He will get what is coming to him eventually, if I have any say in the matter.{S}
 Yes, I did.{S}
 Thank you for taking me from that.{S}
 The Schism had split the Chantry into the one we know and the Imperial Chantry, in Tevinter.{S}
 Even though the Imperial Chantry had forbade blood magic, the Chantry--our Chantry--did not believe them.{S}
 After all, many of the Tevinter mages, and even their magister lords, had used blood magic with impunity throughout history.{S}
 I do not see why it should not.{S}
 All you need to know then about the Litany is that it protects one from blood mage mind control.{S}
 I suppose you would not have had much contact with him.{S}
 He never mentored the apprentices, never taught.{S}
 He did not seem to care much for the Circle, only his own advancement.{S}
 I am sure Uldred has some redeeming qualities.{S}
 He probably has a perfectly good reason for not displaying them.{S}
 But he is done nothing to endear me to him.{S}
 You have seen the demons, haven't you?{S}
 At the very least, I should be able to bend them over my knee and give them a sound spanking.{S}
 One should let one's actions speak for themselves, and let others form their own opinions.{S}
 Well, have you come to a decision?{S}
 Alone, I would probably have fallen to the demons myself, but with your help, we have a chance for success.{S}
 You have returned to the tower?{S}
 Why did the templars let you through?{S}
 I see you still care about the Circle and our tower.{S}
 You have heard, then.{S}
 I suppose the templars would not let you in without warning you first.{S}
 They have the Right of Annulment?{S}
 The templars have barred the doors.{S}
 They will only open them if they intend to attack us.{S}
 The templars would not let just anyone by.{S}
 Why did the templars let you in?{S}
 But what are you doing here, then?{S}
 Take another step, and I swear I will strike you down where you stand!{S}
 Have the templars opened the door?{S}
 Speak quickly--I will have no games.{S}
 So why did the templars let you in?{S}
 Do they plan to attack the tower now?{S}
 I feared they might have.{S}
 What else could they do?{S}
 You would think one would find a less perilous place to explore...{S}
 Then you do serve the templars as I feared.{S}
 Do they have the Right of Annulment?{S}
 The order from the grand cleric allowing the templars to completely annul a Circle.{S}
 Do they have it?{S}
 They abandoned us to our fate, but even trapped as we are, we have survived.{S}
 If you are here to kill abominations, let me help you.{S}
 It all started when I returned from Ostagar.{S}
 When I finally returned here I found that Uldred had all but convinced the Circle to join Loghain, the man who nearly destroyed us all!{S}
 I cannot fault the Circle though, Uldred had a persuasive argument, and how could they have known what happened in Ostagar?{S}
 Uldred always wanted power; perhaps Loghain promised Uldred the position of first enchanter, once they had dealt with the Blight.{S}
 The alliance with Loghain would have been to the Circle's advantage; according to Uldred, once Loghain was in power, he would order the Chantry to give us more freedom.{S}
 Well, I told the First Enchanter Irving what Loghain did on the battlefield.{S}
 Irving said he would take care of it.{S}
 He called a meeting to confront Uldred, but something must have gone wrong.{S}
 They were coming from the meeting room, and it wasn't long before I saw the first abomination, running down a mage.{S}
 I found Petra first, and we were trying to fight our way to the meeting room, to help, but we came across Irving.{S}
 He was fighting a terrifying abomination and he told me to get as many as I could to safety.{S}
 I had to obey.{S}
 I do not know what became of Uldred, but I am certain all this is his doing.{S}
 I tried to help the children get out, but the doors were locked... no one responded when I called for help.{S}
 What else was I supposed to do?{S}
 I erected a barrier over the door leading to the rest of the tower, so nothing from inside could attack the children.{S}
 You will not be able to enter the tower as long as the barrier holds, but I will dispel it if you join with me to save this Circle.{S}
 I will get them riled up with a few choice taunts, and then we will whack 'em when you nix the barrier.{S}
 Will you get us all killed?{S}
 I suppose a berserk hammer-flinging dwarf would serve very well to distract our attackers...{S}
 This one has a good head on her.{S}
 I say we keep her.{S}
 Do not fear, my good lady.{S}
 Even if we cannot eliminate all the demons and abominations, together, we could lead the survivors out.{S}
 Once Greagoir sees that we have made the tower safe, I trust he will tell his men to back down.{S}
 If we slay all the fiends we encounter on our way, none will get by to threaten the children.{S}
 They allow themselves to be corralled like cattle, mindless.{S}
 Now their masters have chosen death for them and I say let them have it.{S}
 I could be here, had my mother not shielded me from the templars, so I am to show sympathy?{S}
 My mother often said that things are the way they are, because they could not have been any other way.{S}
 Do what you wish.{S}
 I care not.{S}
 Do not patronize me.{S}
 If that were so, why, I am sure I would have flung myself from the top of this tower years ago.{S}
 I will allow neither mind nor body be subjugated in such a dehumanizing fashion.{S}
 And that is made abundantly clear.{S}
 We will give you your wish, old woman! <desc>Scoffs</desc> Have it your way.{S}
 The others need your protection more.{S}
 Stay here with them... keep them safe and calm.{S}
 If you are ready, let us go end this.{S}
 Your confidence is refreshing, though you should make sure it does not blind you to your weaknesses.{S}
 That gets the blood flowing and works the kinks out of these old joints.{S}
 We have little time.{S}
 But I told you there are innocent mages still alive who have nothing to do with these demons and abominations.{S}
 Mages who are careless in their use of magic may turn into abominations.{S}
 Something must have gone wrong...{S}
 It must have, though I do not know for sure.{S}
 You are a mage--you had friends here, family.{S}
 Do these children deserve death too?{S}
 You are mad if you think I will let you lay a finger on these children.{S}
 We should gain a better understanding of the situation before rushing in, pointy-end of sword first.{S}
 Do not turn your back on us now.{S}
 If you insist on making war upon the Circle, we have nothing more to discuss.{S}
 You are saying she is trying to fool us?{S}
 You could be right. <desc>Sigh</desc> Do what you think is best.{S}
 I have met very manipulative people and she does not seem to be one... but I...{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I will follow your lead.{S}
 I am not raising a hand to this old lady, and that is final.{S}
 I suspect there is more to this than even you know, and we should get to the bottom of it.{S}
 We will not do anything to threaten these children.{S}
 I detect no deceitfulness in what she has said.{S}
 Well, you are getting it anyway.{S}
 I cannot just stand here and let you do something so... so despicable!{S}
 She is trying to help these children and everyone else in this tower.{S}
 You have to listen to her!{S}
 I will stop you, or die trying.{S}
 I have dealt with every demon that has dared to threaten me and my own.{S}
 Knowing you must have been sent by the templars does not endear you to me.{S}
 And did they tell you that you had to kill apprentices?{S}
 You did what you had to do, Wynne.{S}
 Hurry up and let us get on with it.{S}
 Hold on.{S}
 Did it tire you out?{S}
 Yes, I was there, but we did not speak.{S}
 He will get what he deserves.{S}
 Nothing escapes you, does it?{S}
 No, you did not.{S}
 Did what happen in the Fade upset you?{S}
 Are you sure it still works?{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 Do you know how to use the Litany?{S}
 I still do not trust anything to do with Tevinter.{S}
 We do not have time for a history lesson.{S}
 That does not mean he is responsible for this.{S}
 We should get going.{S}
 That does not sound so bad.{S}
 Do you know what we will face in the tower?{S}
 If we work together, we can survive.{S}
 Then let us not waste any more time.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 I will help you save what survivors we can find.{S}
 I will work with you to investigate the tower.{S}
 No, please give me a few moments more.{S}
 Greagoir gave me a brief summary.{S}
 Wynne--what are you doing here?{S}
 I came here seeking the aid of the mages.{S}
 You have children with you.{S}
 I am a Grey Warden, and I seek the help of the mages.{S}
 Yes, they have the Right of Annulment.{S}
 Do not worry, the Right of Annulment has not arrived.{S}
 It does not matter.{S}
 Did Irving survive as well?{S}
 Can you tell me how all this trouble started?{S}
 What did Uldred say?{S}
 Maybe Uldred had been in cahoots with Loghain all along.{S}
 This does not tell me how the tower got overrun by demons.{S}
 What caused the abominations?{S}
 How did you find the children?{S}
 Maybe I do not want to.{S}
 I suppose that could work.{S}
 You could have been one of them, if things were different.{S}
 Let us leave as soon as possible.{S}
 You have a point.{S}
 I have made my decision.{S}
 Why do you treat the Circle with such scorn?{S}
 Keep your poisonous thoughts to yourself.{S}
 Hold your tongue, you harpy!{S}
 You will do as I say.{S}
 Let us be off.{S}
 We have talked away enough time.{S}
 Have faith.{S}
 Try not to throw out your back.{S}
 Then we should set off immediately.{S}
 I shall do this on my own.{S}
 Join me, then, and we will venture into this tower.{S}
 I need to consider this.{S}
 We must try to avoid needless slaughter.{S}
 But you offered no concrete proof.{S}
 Best to do away with the Circle.{S}
 I have left that behind.{S}
 I serve Ferelden now, not the Circle.{S}
 I have no obligation to them.{S}
 So what do you intend?{S}
 So this all started at the meeting?{S}
 I hated every moment I spent here.{S}
 I did not expect children.{S}
 I will do what must be done.{S}
 Let us try reason.{S}
 Do not make this harder for yourself.{S}
 Then the mages die, and so does anyone who gets in the way.{S}
 We will do what she wants then.{S}
 Fine, we will see what else she has to say then.{S}
 You do what I say, when I say it, and I say the mage dies.{S}
 The mages have to be dealt with.{S}
 I may have acted too hastily.{S}
 I do not recall asking for your opinion.{S}
 If I had a say, you would all be culled.{S}
 I am to help the templars carry out this Circle's Annulment.{S}
 I am here to deal with this pesky Circle once and for all.{S}
 I am not going to do anything. <desc>You deftly pick the locks on the door.</desc> <desc>You fail to pick the locks on the door, and only succeed in breaking the delicate mechanisms.</desc> <act>Pick the locks on the door.</act>{S}
 Everyone's at dinner, do not worry. <desc>Giggles</desc> In that case, come here...{S}
 Then call it, why do not you?{S}
 Are you playing cards, or chit-chatting?{S}
 Look, you did not see nothing--wait.{S}
 We have got an intruder!{S}
 I hate it when he does that.{S}
 When did you get back from Highever?{S}
 I have never been so happy to leave a place in my life.{S}
 Try spending a few nights in a castle full of corpses sometime.{S}
 What Ser Perth seeks is something that is not in my power to give.{S}
 I can pray with them and give them my blessing, but Ser Perth wants me to call upon the Maker to shield them from evil.{S}
 You do not understand.{S}
 I fold. <desc>Sigh</desc> I swear he is got these cards marked.{S}
 Who, umm, needs a tent.{S}
 And I will go do it... over there.{S}
 Who needs a tent?{S}
 I think you just do not want to talk to me, that is what.{S}
 Let us just get on then, Mr. "No Opinion."{S}
 Let us just get on then, Miss "No Opinion."{S}
 I do not care what happens to me, or the village, or anyone.{S}
 When the time comes, I will join my wife and Valena.{S}
 In the meantime, I am getting good and drunk.{S}
 I am getting out of here before something else happens.{S}
 I will take my chances.{S}
 Are you trying to run me out of business?{S}
 I can not be bought. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 I call it taking out the trash. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}
 Let us just do business.{S}
 Hey, I have never seen you before.{S}
 We have got a break-in!{S}
 We have got a break-in! <desc>Sigh</desc> My foot's asleep again.{S}
 Oh for the love of Andraste, I have got an itch between my shoulders... <desc>Sneeze</desc>{S}
 We have little to spare but if there is something in there you think you need, I will be happy to part with it.{S}
 Hey, I do not know you...{S}
 Howe's too cheap to buy it.{S}
 You realize that does not help, right?{S}
 What the--you do not belong in here!{S}
 It is bad luck living in a house where the whole family got killed.{S}
 I say Howe ought to level the thing and build a new one.{S}
 He would have to knock down everyplace he owns, then.{S}
 Do not panic, Erlina.{S}
 I doubt he will just open the door for me.{S}
 Well, if he did not know you were here, he soon will.{S}
 I am simply saying that it is foolish to mount a rescue when you have no notion where this man is and the Wilds are overrun with darkspawn.{S}
 You will either find him somewhere outside the Wilds with other survivors, or... not at all.{S}
 You wish to do this brother of yours a service?{S}
 But we need to decide what our general plan is for afterwards, do not we?{S}
 These treaties... have you looked at them?{S}
 Have you looked at them?{S}
 I need to look for Fergus.{S}
 That does not mean I should not look for him!{S}
 We need to hear some news before we can decide.{S}
 You have some thoughts on that point, Alistair?{S}
 We should try and use these treaties, I assume.{S}
 Let us just get going.{S}
 We can not let all their deaths be in vain!{S}
 Ahhh, to have lost so much.{S}
 You two have much in common.{S}
 I can not do this on my own.{S}
 We have to do <emp>something</emp>!{S}
 I need to find him.{S}
 Please, Warden, I beg you: Do not leave my queen here.{S}
 Free me, and I promise you my aid in the Landsmeet.{S}
 Those he abandoned were massacred.{S}
 Your friend... he is not taking it well.{S}
 We do not have much time.{S}
 We must go before the guards discover us.{S}
 What they would do to all traitors, and would-be assassins.{S}
 I poisoned Arl Eamon, but that is all I did.{S}
 Done?{S}
 You mean besides betraying everything we were taught?{S}
 I look more the part than you do.{S}
 I will trust you to lead us safely out.{S}
 She... had me tortured.{S}
 There was nothing I could do or say that would appease her.{S}
 I like a woman who knows exactly what she wants, I really do.{S}
 You will not find a better deal, I promise.{S}
 I knew we would find a common interest.{S}
 Is this before or after you stab me in the back? <emp>Find someone who can decipher the strange scrolls</emp>{S}
 You found some scrolls in a language you cannot decipher.{S}
 You have taken them with you in hopes that someone you encounter on your travels will be able to translate them.{S}
 Start talking! <desc>Laughs</desc> The traitorous bitch has you under her thumb?{S}
 Anora does love games.{S}
 I am surprised she would play with the likes of you.{S}
 Shall I show you how it is done?{S}
 I was told that Arl Eamon was a threat to Ferelden, that if I dealt with him Loghain would settle matters with the Circle.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain found out and he... sent me.{S}
 I was to use the opportunity to poison the arl.{S}
 In the name of the regent, I am placing you under arrest for the murder of Rendon Howe and his men-at-arms.{S}
 You do not know the whole story.{S}
 I am here to free Anora, who was held captive.{S}
 Bring them down!{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 The queen is not being held prisoner here or anywhere else.{S}
 This brigand tried to kidnap me!{S}
 Unbelievable... bring them down!{S}
 I have no doubts about Loghain.{S}
 I am afraid I do not remember your name.{S}
 And this is the young lord from Highever I met earlier?{S}
 And this is the lady from Highever I met earlier?{S}
 I am not finished playing!{S}
 You can not make me stop!{S}
 I think it is trying to spoil my fun, Mother!{S}
 I was just having fun!{S}
 Everyone else had fun too!{S}
 Are you having fun, Uncle?{S}
 You see? <desc>Laughs</desc> We are having fun!{S}
 I think you are just trying to spoil things.{S}
 What do you think, Mother?{S}
 He asked you to slay a talking tree he calls "the Grand Oak"--a task you have completed.{S}
 I may win great battles before men, I may do great works of charity and compassion, I may give myself over to the flames, but without the Maker, I have nothing.{S}
 We have a problem.{S}
 I may have done a terrible thing.{S}
 I will try.{S}
 I do not know what to do, but I will try.{S}
 You will never take him.{S}
 But what can I do?{S}
 Please, just make it stop!{S}
 I need you to help me, or I may not win.{S}
 I will try to be brave.{S}
 Barely met, and already she betrays us.{S}
 She and my mother would get along famously.{S}
 She throws her savior to the wolves, and now she has second thoughts?{S}
 No honor, no gratitude, slight grasp of the obvious... fine ruler you have here.{S}
 "May have?"{S}
 To put it mildly.{S}
 What is it you might have done, exactly?{S}
 What in Andraste's name has happened?{S}
 The Warden has been captured.{S}
 There is no way in the qunari tongue to use words and yet say nothing.{S}
 And this <emp>may have</emp> been your fault.{S}
 The Wardens have been captured.{S}
 The question is how to free him.{S}
 We need Alistair, too.{S}
 Cauthrien will take him to Fort Drakon.{S}
 Getting inside will be no small feat...{S}
 The question is how to free her.{S}
 But have a little faith: These Grey Wardens are a resourceful lot.{S}
 Cauthrien will take her to Fort Drakon.{S}
 Getting in will be no small feat...{S}
 We have more than one, I think.{S}
 I suspect we are going to need a good plan, or a lot of knights, or perhaps both.{S}
 Did you get that list, Eamon?{S}
 Get moving. <desc><DogName/> barks anxiously.</desc>{S}
 We have very little time for chat.{S}
 We need to work out a plan.{S}
 I was starting to worry this would be easy.{S}
 What has happened?{S}
 Do not worry, Taeodor.{S}
 And Ferelden will remain divided as long as Loghain continues his campaign.{S}
 I was starting to worry.{S}
 You look like you have been dragged through ten kinds of crap, friend.{S}
 What'd you do?{S}
 I am going to strangle Anora when we get out.{S}
 I seem to spend way too much time in prisons lately.{S}
 I have never seen a prison from this side before.{S}
 I have never been in a cage before.{S}
 Let us never do this again.{S}
 That does not really bode well for us.{S}
 You got some other business to attend to?{S}
 You do not even know?{S}
 Drakon... this is where you go before you meet the gallows.{S}
 Drakon... this is where you go before you meet the gallows.{S}
 I have been worse.{S}
 I will be better still when we get out of here.{S}
 Do you mind if I pin her down while you do?{S}
 Or perhaps kick her? <desc>Laughs</desc> "Join the Grey Wardens!{S}
 I am getting out of here. <act>Try to escape.</act>{S}
 How is it living, if you ain't free?{S}
 Give me a noose over that any day.{S}
 What is he gonna do?{S}
 Do not worry. <act>Wait</act>{S}
 Let us get out of here. <act>Try to escape</act>{S}
 Eamon will get us out... right?{S}
 I hope you have a plan.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I will find a way to save you.{S}
 We have come to perform last rites for a condemned prisoner.{S}
 What in the name of Andraste's holy knickers is that thing?{S}
 And what are you supposed to be? <act>Have Leliana do the talking..</act> <act>Fight.</act>{S}
 Let us pray, Sister.{S}
 Maker forgive these godless souls, they know not what they do.{S}
 Spare them your wrath, and do not torment them with boils, festering rashes, and lesions.{S}
 Perhaps we should make this quick, my dear? <act>Let Morrigan do the talking.</act>{S}
 Do not judge these poor, benighted souls harshly for questioning the word of your Revered Mother, Andraste's mouthpiece here in Ferelden.{S}
 There is much praying to be done now.{S}
 Although they cannot honor the wishes of your Holy Chantry, do not find their souls wanting when they come to you across the lonely Fade...{S}
 At last we have a king again!{S}
 I trust that King Harrowmont will do what is best for Orzammar.{S}
 I would not have voted for Bhelen, but I trust my mother's judgment.{S}
 He may be just what Orzammar needs in these modern times.{S}
 I did not expect to see you again.{S}
 I am afraid you will find Orzammar much changed.{S}
 You have come at a difficult time.{S}
 You are gonna rue today, knife-ear!{S}
 Come and get it, you filthy dog! <desc>Ach!</desc> I need help!{S}
 Take off.{S}
 I am gonna rip you to pieces!{S}
 It is called liquid courage, and I have got lots of it!{S}
 Do not push me!{S}
 Why I have a mind to, uh, to... give you a piece of my mind!{S}
 Do not test me.{S}
 I need to speak to you.{S}
 Do not you dare... <desc>Yawns</desc> I am tired.{S}
 You had better watch yourself.{S}
 Do not push your luck with me...{S}
 You are trying my patience.{S}
 I need a hand over here!{S}
 By the Maker, there has to be somebody to fight around here.{S}
 Try me.{S}
 Do you have a minute?{S}
 Do not be causing trouble now.{S}
 I can not hold much longer!{S}
 You can do better than that!{S}
 For the Free Marches!{S}
 And if that is what she thinks, I will-- <desc>Sigh</desc> What am I doing?{S}
 You have my deepest gratitude.{S}
 Where is a drink when you need one?{S}
 Get lost.{S}
 Nice work!{S}
 Just try it.{S}
 I need help!{S}
 Take that, you ignorant bastard!{S}
 Where is some good Dalish wine when you need some?{S}
 You are wearing on my last nerve... *sigh* I have nothing to steal.{S}
 If I may have a word with you...?{S}
 I dare you to do that again.{S}
 There must me <emp>something</emp> I can do around here.{S}
 Shall we make an arl out of an elf while we are at it? <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Keep it up and I will gut you like a fish!{S}
 I need assistance!{S}
 You should have fled when you had the chance!{S}
 Let me be the first to deviate from your "wisdom".{S}
 Hold!{S}
 I need a drink.{S}
 I am not sure you know what you are doing.{S}
 I need backup!{S}
 Make tracks.{S}
 That wont' work.{S}
 You had better tread lightly, whelp.{S}
 I need support!{S}
 You are gonna wish you were never ripped from your mother's womb!{S}
 Where is a skull to crack when you need one?{S}
 We need to have a word.{S}
 I could use some backup!{S}
 I suppose there is something I should be doing.{S}
 I require you attention for a moment.{S}
 Show me what you have got!{S}
 I can not hold this one!{S}
 Do not make me laugh!{S}
 Is not there something I can do?{S}
 Good deal.{S}
 I... do not think that will work.{S}
 Do not push your luck.{S}
 Though they cannot find it in their hearts to show compassion to wretched prisoners, do not sentence them to an eternity walking the Fade alone, preyed upon by spirits and demons.{S}
 Wait over there, I will get the captain to let you in. <desc>Sigh</desc> Maker's breath...{S}
 Although they call into question your wish to show compassion to the wretched, do not deprive them of compassion when they are in need...{S}
 A single voice will hardly reach the Maker's ear over the cacophony of human suffering.{S}
 In such troubled times as these, the Chantry must keep a close eye on its ministers. <desc>Sigh</desc> Fine.{S}
 I will get the captain.{S}
 What does it look like?{S}
 Either I am making a delivery, or I am besieging your fort.{S}
 I was asked to bring this mabari to the kennels.{S}
 I... got a dog to take to your kennels.{S}
 I wasn't told we were getting a mabari.{S}
 I do not want to keep him standing here all day.{S}
 Do you want this hound or not? ...{S}
 Must I point out the obvious? <emp>I am a large, impatient man with a war dog.</emp> Either let us in, or get someone who will.{S}
 Well, I suppose if your officers do not <emp>want</emp> a highly-trained war hound, I can take him elsewhere... <desc>Sad whimper</desc>{S}
 Look, they told me to bring him here, and I brought him.{S}
 I will stand here all day if I have to.{S}
 I got nothing better to do.{S}
 Him, on the other hand... ever seen a mabari get bored? <act>Keep talking.</act>{S}
 Look, I have brought this hound no small distance.{S}
 Fine, fine, I will get the captain.{S}
 I am sorry, what did you say?{S}
 I will get the captain. <desc>Sigh</desc> Fine.{S}
 I will get the captain.{S}
 I knew one once, got locked in a stable for two hours by himself.{S}
 When they found him, he would killed six horses trying to play "wrestle" with 'em.{S}
 Made a terrible mess. <desc>Gulps</desc> Go wait in there.{S}
 I will get the captain.{S}
 Get 'em!{S}
 What the--we are under attack! <act> Let Alistair bluff.</act> <act>Let Alistair bluff.</act>{S}
 You do not say...{S}
 What is it do?{S}
 What kind of nug-lover does not recognize the pinnacle of Dwarven war machinery?{S}
 Something the regent bought, I suppose.{S}
 I did not hear anything about any... walking statues being delivered.{S}
 What <emp>does not</emp> it do?{S}
 It can break down walls, wade through cavalry and infantry as if it were taking a leisurely stroll, and clean your gutters without a ladder!{S}
 It does what weapons do.{S}
 What do you think it does, stretch?{S}
 It is a giant, walking rock! <act>Keep bluffing.</act>{S}
 Then get someone who has.{S}
 What am I supposed to do?{S}
 I can not take it back; I will be fired!{S}
 I can not even feed myself tonight if I do not get paid!{S}
 I delivered it here; my work is done.{S}
 Your job is to pay me for it, so I can go on my merry way.{S}
 I will, ah... get the captain.{S}
 You cannot have me.{S}
 I have already been... taken.{S}
 Do you take me for a fool?{S}
 I will not become an abomination, no matter what you try. <act>Converse with the demon.</act> <act>Force a final confrontation.</act>{S}
 I have been given a chance to do something good for a change.{S}
 Look, do not get hysterical.{S}
 I will... go get the captain.{S}
 A demon has you trapped.{S}
 He is, but I will do my best to see that all of us emerge from this unscathed.{S}
 Speak to me, my son! <act>Try to get through to the arl.</act> <act>Leave the arl alone.</act>{S}
 Surely you have heard of us?{S}
 You do not look like brothers.{S}
 Do the obligatory dwarf joke.{S}
 Not like I have got anything better to do.{S}
 I... do not understand.{S}
 I will find him for you, since I foolishly gave my word that I would.{S}
 So what're you doing here?{S}
 Do not tell me you forgot!{S}
 What do you do, exactly?{S}
 Your giant friend here does not talk much, does he?{S}
 Well, wait over there, I will get the captain. ...Never said anything about any circus freaks...{S}
 If there is anything I can do for you, please, please tell me.{S}
 Something you need?{S}
 Good to have along on the road.{S}
 Err... you did not want to hear the tale last time.{S}
 Well, let us see... where was I?{S}
 You do not have the look of a surface dwarf about you.{S}
 To make a long story short, I fled home to live on the surface.{S}
 I am married to a fine woman back in Denerim, it is true.{S}
 She would give me a son if she could, but... that is not likely to ever be.{S}
 I found him in the Deep Roads years ago.{S}
 Abandoned, I think, and he was never quite right in the head.{S}
 I took him in, and brought him with me when I came to the surface.{S}
 It is not as if I do not benefit, mind you.{S}
 Turns out the boy's a natural working with enchantments.{S}
 He might even have been lyrium-addled.{S}
 He can work an enchantment into just about anything, however, given some time.{S}
 Could probably open his own shop, if he knew how. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Well, he does seem to enjoy it, at least.{S}
 I was glad to take him in.{S}
 That is how I have always felt.{S}
 I am sure you will be pleased with the goods my boy and I have collected.{S}
 I saw your camp and remembered the kind offer you made the last time we met, and is there anywhere safer for a poor merchant and his son to sleep?{S}
 Now, before you say anything, I do recall that your business is private... but I saw your camp and could not help but stop.{S}
 I am perfectly willing to offer you a fine discount for the inconvenience of our presence.{S}
 How does that sound?{S}
 I travel a lot, so I am bound to meet everyone on the road eventually.{S}
 If you prefer, I will take my boy and be on my way... but regretfully.{S}
 Sadly, it also makes us a target for bandits and the like.{S}
 If there were spare hands to hire as guards, I would have done so long ago. <desc>Sigh</desc> It was too good to be true, wasn't it?{S}
 If you should need enchantments, simply talk to my boy.{S}
 The name's Bodahn Feddic, merchant and entrepreneur.{S}
 Mind if I ask what brings you out here?{S}
 My, that does rather explain a lot.{S}
 No offense, but I suspect there is more excitement on your path than my boy and I can handle.{S}
 Allow me to bid you farewell and good fortune, though.{S}
 Thank you for the offer, but there may be more excitement on your path than is good for my boy and me.{S}
 Allow me to bid you farewell and good fortune.{S}
 Allow me to say thank you again, and bid you farewell.{S}
 Let us get this mess cleaned up, shall we?{S}
 How does a hundred silvers sound?{S}
 I was going to use that to fix up the cart, but quite frankly I will be grateful enough that my son and I come out of this with our heads!{S}
 Unsold goods, I will point out, though you have a fair point.{S}
 But it is all I have.{S}
 A hundred silver and my thanks is all I have to offer.{S}
 Go ahead and pick through the cart and take whatever you feel is worth it.{S}
 All done, then?{S}
 It is time for us to find somewhere a bit more... safe, yes?{S}
 Get back, Sandal!{S}
 Do not let them touch you!{S}
 Just the short version will do.{S}
 So you got a free helper?{S}
 Have you been following us?{S}
 What are you selling, exactly?{S}
 You are free to stay.{S}
 Yet you have a whole cart full of goods.{S}
 Keep your money.{S}
 I do not need it.{S}
 I wasn't trying to save you, trust me.{S}
 We have a delivery for your fort from the Weaver Crafthall.{S}
 Making a delivery for the kennels, ser.{S}
 The Ladies of Denerim have sent a gift for the hardworking soldiers of Fort Drakon: Several hundred lovely knitted scarves.{S}
 I have a delivery for the commander of the fort.{S}
 I wasn't notified about anything coming today. <act>Let Wynne talk.</act>{S}
 Look, we have got four more deliveries to make today.{S}
 Can you get whoever's in charge?{S}
 Now go get whoever is in charge, like a good little boy.{S}
 No doubt he did not want anyone to know. ...{S}
 I can not believe that worked.{S}
 Fate truly has a sense of humor.{S}
 That tale should have fooled no one.{S}
 I can handle the captain.{S}
 T'is foolish to think this will work.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I know what I am doing.{S}
 Now we have only to wait.{S}
 "Take the dog," he said.{S}
 "They will let you right in."{S}
 This is going to work.{S}
 Just... try to act naturally.{S}
 This plan may actually work.{S}
 When the captain gets here, let me do the talking.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 When the captain gets here, try to distract him while I hit him over the head.{S}
 Of course it worked.{S}
 We will get through this.{S}
 Well, whatever you did back there, do more of it.{S}
 A bronto in a bonnet would do a better job of passing for a merchant.{S}
 Let us just get this over with.{S}
 Just do not get carried away, Leliana.{S}
 But I will keep a knife handy just in case.{S}
 That should keep him off balance.{S}
 You have managed to get us even farther from the door than we were when we entered.{S}
 Well done.{S}
 That is what I was thinking, too. <desc>Sigh</desc> Do not look at me like that.{S}
 Just try to act nonchalant, and I will give you a biscuit when we are done.{S}
 I have been in this country too long.{S}
 They will let us inside.{S}
 And if they do not... you know what to do.{S}
 Anything else I can get you?{S}
 Anything else you need?{S}
 That is what I have heard on the road, anyhow.{S}
 Take it for what it is.{S}
 Or so I have heard, anyhow.{S}
 Do not look so surprised.{S}
 I have seen you do it.{S}
 Waiting around will not make it any easier.{S}
 That works, too.{S}
 Why did you agree, if you thought it would fail?{S}
 Obviously, you did not hear Eamon's other plans.{S}
 You are good at this spy work, Shale.{S}
 We have a few moments.{S}
 I had no idea such a thing existed.{S}
 He can fold lyrium into almost any weapon or piece of armor, though naturally some of the more extravagant materials will take more lyrium than others.{S}
 And there you have it.{S}
 I can do that for you; just come with me.{S}
 What enchantments does he do?{S}
 I want some enchanting done.{S}
 I would like to see what other goods you have.{S}
 I do not think this is going to help us get your phylactery.{S}
 Or stand there like a lump and watch me try to talk my way past him.{S}
 Well, it was good enough to get us this far.{S}
 And that shall comfort our Warden friend, I am sure, if we get no further than the front door.{S}
 Let us not get overconfident.{S}
 I will keep my fingers crossed, then, shall I?{S}
 I hope I can figure out what it was I said that worked...{S}
 We do agree on something.{S}
 Do not think too hard on it, my dear, you will make yourself sick.{S}
 Feel free to do all the talking when the captain arrives.{S}
 Are not you having fun?{S}
 We are breaking in to the most heavily guarded fortress in Ferelden! <desc>Sigh</desc> Truly, my life has reached its apex.{S}
 Carried away?{S}
 Have some faith, my dear qunari.{S}
 Just try not to get carried away.{S}
 That captain better get here soon.{S}
 These clown pants are riding up like nobody's business. ...That was far more information than I needed.{S}
 Well, the direct approach has much to recommend it, too, I suppose.{S}
 Shall we find the Warden now?{S}
 Well, that could have gone smoother.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 I have to deliver this hound to the kennel master.{S}
 I must take this hound to the kennel.{S}
 Just taking this mutt to the kennel.{S}
 I am supposed to take this dog to the kennel.{S}
 I am making a delivery to the fort.{S}
 Oh, do not be coy, Captain.{S}
 You still have to pay me for delivery.{S}
 I bring a gift to the people of Denerim from the ariqun of Par Vollen.{S}
 We have been sent to minister the Chant for the prisoners here.{S}
 We have traveled here at great expense to perform here at the particular request of Teyrn Loghain.{S}
 We are just making a delivery, ser.{S}
 We have a delivery for the fort.{S}
 Making a delivery, Captain.{S}
 For which I have still not been paid, by the way. <act>Let Alistair handle this.</act> <act>Try to bluff him.</act> <act>Let Leliana do the talking here.</act> <act>Have Zevran Bluff him.</act> <act>Let Alistair answer.</act> <act>Attack</act>{S}
 Get to the back of the line.{S}
 I am not giving up my place.{S}
 This is taking forever.{S}
 How many days has it been now, and I still haven't seen a healer?{S}
 Why does the blighted hound master never notify me of these things?{S}
 We have a gift for the good soldiers of the fort from the ladies of Denerim, Captain.{S}
 Very well, take him through.{S}
 And tell Neville I want a word with him when you get there.{S}
 I will have you know that I come from a long line of dwarven hound masters! ...{S}
 I have a dog.{S}
 What more do you want?{S}
 To put it mildly.{S}
 Ma'am, I do not have time for this.{S}
 Go on home and take your mutt with you. ...{S}
 Get out of here, dwarf.{S}
 I do not even know what you are.{S}
 But you certainly do not belong in here.{S}
 Now that will not do at all.{S}
 I did not want to sneak in anyway.{S}
 You do?{S}
 There are more important things you need to attend to.{S}
 When the attacks start after dark, the village will be on its own.{S}
 I... do not know, to tell you the truth.{S}
 Well, I-I do not know what it is, but that is not the point!{S}
 The point is, I was told I would be paid <emp>upon delivery</emp> and I will not leave without my money!{S}
 You have successfully defended Redcliffe.{S}
 The village is still standing, and most of the villagers have survived.{S}
 I will just take it back to Orzammar, tell the king that Ferelden will let hundreds of its men die rather than keep accurate paperwork. <desc>Sigh</desc> Fine.{S}
 Take it to the main hall.{S}
 He did, my lord.{S}
 Do you think it was easy getting this walking hunk of rock here?{S}
 Do you imagine that to be a small task, ser?{S}
 I tell you, I was promised payment, and I will get it.{S}
 It is a weapon developed by the Circle for use in defending Ferelden's forts.{S}
 They want to put some magic... thing in here?{S}
 We wish to see the darkspawn held off here, as far from our lands as possible.{S}
 Well, it is sort of like a solider made of rock, if you can imagine that.{S}
 The first is the Vir Assan--the Way of the Arrow: to reach for our goal, unrelenting.{S}
 Do not just stand there like an idiot: Move!{S}
 Why did not anyone send word it was coming?{S}
 I am sure I do not know.{S}
 Things have been so unsettled, lately, it is hard to tell which way is up.{S}
 How many priests does it take to pray for a handful of wretched criminals?{S}
 The Tranquil have learned their runes, and we use them to apply a variety of magical effects.{S}
 The irony, perhaps, is that it is our very disconnection to our former talents that allows the Tranquil to work with lyrium so.{S}
 Runes exist that hold the power of the elements, that increase strength or swiftness... almost any spell can be given permanency, given enough skill and lyrium.{S}
 Naturally, the greater the power required the more expensive the rune will become to create.{S}
 You bring great glory to your house, my lord.{S}
 Do you hear this, Brother?{S}
 We have performed for archons and empresses!{S}
 To-to have traveled such a distance as a personal favor to Loghain, only to be turned away at the door by some uncultured soldier!{S}
 I do not care. ...{S}
 Why did not I take the post at Lothering? <desc>Sigh</desc>{S}
 Oh, sod it, get him!{S}
 It is so... interesting to see a lady chosen to be commander.{S}
 It is so romantic to have a Proving dedicated to you!{S}
 Have you gone to watch the Provings, my lady?{S}
 Take it up with the Tailors' Crafthall, Captain.{S}
 Cook at the royal palace had a lot of soup bones left over and wanted to send them to the dogs here. ...{S}
 Take them to the kennel.{S}
 Surely your commanding officer informs you whenever he is having items of a... personal nature delivered to him.{S}
 What is--no, I do not want to know.{S}
 All made from fine Redcliffe wool, you know, for our boys.{S}
 I will not take it back to them for you.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Think it will be enough? <desc>Sigh</desc> I do not know.{S}
 What is the point of putting ballistae inside the fort?{S}
 Did you hear that Teyrn Howe was murdered?{S}
 Did not he only hold the title for ten days?{S}
 I heard the Chantry was offering to pay anyone who would come to the funeral.{S}
 Not even his own kin will make the trip for it.{S}
 Do not bother us; we are not on duty until next watch.{S}
 Sing our names to the Maker, that he send us Light in these dark times... <emp>Prepare Redcliffe for the attack</emp>{S}
 Bann Teagan has directed you to Ser Perth, who leads the knights of Redcliffe, and Murdock the mayor, who is in charge of the militia.{S}
 Perth and Murdock will know what Redcliffe needs to be prepared for nightfall.{S}
 I did not see you standing there.{S}
 I beg your pardon, Mother. <act>Have Zevran lie to her.</act> <emp>Rescue Queen Anora</emp>{S}
 Queen Anora's handmaid, Erlina, has informed you that the queen is being held prisoner at Arl Howe's estate.{S}
 Erlina seeks your aid in freeing the queen.{S}
 Meet Erlina at the arl of Denerim's palace as soon as you can.{S}
 You have killed Howe and his pet mage.{S}
 Queen Anora should be free.{S}
 Go quickly, before more guards find you. <emp>Rescue Queen Anora</emp>{S}
 You have freed Queen Anora from the room in which she was imprisoned.{S}
 She has put on a guard uniform and will be leaving with you in this disguise.{S}
 Get the queen out as quickly as you can.{S}
 Do not you do anything stupid. <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 You have learned that there is a plague spreading about the elven Alienage.{S}
 Men from the Tevinter Imperium are here, supposedly to help, but they are apparently taking both sick and healthy elves into quarantine, and no one ever sees them again.{S}
 What do you--wait, you do not belong in here.{S}
 All right, we need a plan.{S}
 We need a plan here. <emp>Talk to the stubborn blacksmith</emp>{S}
 Owen has come around.{S}
 He relit his forge and is starting to repair the militia's equipment.{S}
 The creature is at the center of the many islands in this part of the Fade, and though a strange pedestal allows movement to those locations, there is always an obstacle that Niall can not pass.{S}
 You can not escape until you defeat the sloth demon, but you can not reach him until you puzzle out the islands that protect him.{S}
 The militia is going to have to do without his help.{S}
 You have managed to convince Dwyn to come out of his locked house to help the militia in their fight.{S}
 You used the rod to reactivate the statue, who calls itself Shale.{S}
 Could you do something with it?{S}
 The day is over and much has happened.{S}
 Some rest would be in order. <emp>Get Dwyn to help the militia</emp>{S}
 Murdock told you about Dwyn, a dwarven veteran, who has refused to help the villagers fight the creatures.{S}
 If you can get Dwyn to help, it would greatly increase the militia's morale.{S}
 The Maker's Shield <emp>Seek out divine protection for the knights</emp>{S}
 Mother Hannah can be found in the village chantry. <emp>Investigate the new human's presence</emp>{S}
 Soris has noticed another human in the alienage.{S}
 Vaughan's intrusion has put many of your neighbors on edge.{S}
 Mother Hannah says the Maker does not give people protection just because they want it.{S}
 She also says that Ser Perth does not seem to be able to grasp this concept and is convinced she is withholding protection from the knights.{S}
 Perhaps you can try to explain this to Perth. <emp>Take the amulets to the knights</emp>{S}
 Mother Hannah has given in and is letting the knights take some holy amulets, even though she dislikes this deception.{S}
 Perth agrees that setting undead on fire is a good thing.{S}
 He is going to use the oil.{S}
 Mother Hannah told you that she cannot provide the protection that Ser Perth desires.{S}
 He wants the Maker to shield his men, but she says that the Maker does not intervene just because one wants Him to.{S}
 Ser Perth will just have to do without the divine protection he seeks. <emp>Find a use for the barrels of oil</emp>{S}
 Perhaps someone could use them to defend Redcliffe.{S}
 Just find Tamlen.{S}
 I suppose it takes a certain arrogance to look upon another people as children, no?{S}
 You are waiting for nightfall, which is when the attacks will start.{S}
 What in the Maker's name is this?{S}
 What in the Maker's name is this?{S}
 Bann Teagan has left myself and Ser Perth in charge of the village's defense.{S}
 I believe he needs help getting the militia ready.{S}
 Maker watch over you. <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 Not one of the elves you have seen in the hospice is sick.{S}
 They have been taken away for some other reason.{S}
 Perhaps you should tell Shianni about this. <emp>Find Valena</emp>{S}
 You told Owen that you would try to find his daughter, Valena.{S}
 She served the Arlessa Isolde, and Owen has not heard from her since the trouble in Redcliffe started.{S}
 Owen believes she is still in the castle. <emp>Make sure Valena made it back to the village</emp>{S}
 You should check on her when you have the time, to make sure she made it back safely.{S}
 Do not keep the first enchanter waiting.{S}
 Do you know a templar named Irminric?{S}
 You did not manage to find Valena in the castle, but you lied to Owen and told him that she had escaped safely.{S}
 Owen's daughter, Valena, made it back to the village safely.{S}
 Owen is very glad to have her back and was very grateful to you.{S}
 A cheaply made brass key, probably for an apartment in the slums.{S}
 "Veras, bring seven males and four females for the next shipment.{S}
 "Of those fallen in the Maker's service, let me sing, Lady of Sorrows.{S}
 Carry their names to the ear of the Most High."{S}
 Of course we did.{S}
 How... how do you know my name?{S}
 Did... did she tell you to take me back to the chantry?{S}
 Do not make me go back there!{S}
 I do not want to be sad!{S}
 She tells me not to be sad, but she keeps crying because Mother died.{S}
 I know, but I do not want to be in the chantry.{S}
 Do not go!{S}
 Are you... are you here to take me back to the chantry?{S}
 Please do not!{S}
 My... my name's Bevin.{S}
 Do not set me on fire!{S}
 Wait, do not go!{S}
 What are you doing?!{S}
 Why do you hate the chantry so much?{S}
 Do not you think your sister might be worried about you?{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 What are you doing in there?{S}
 Come out or I set the dresser on fire.{S}
 Fine, I will drag you out. <act>Open the dresser.</act>{S}
 See if I care.{S}
 Whatever's inside the dresser, come out now. <act>Open the dresser.</act> <emp>Find Bevin</emp>{S}
 Their mother was dragged off by the creatures from the castle, and now Bevin has run off.{S}
 Kaitlyn does not know where he is and she has failed to find him. <emp>Find Bevin</emp>{S}
 Their mother was dragged off by the creatures from the castle, and now Bevin has run off.{S}
 Kaitlyn does not know where he is and she has failed to find him.{S}
 You found Bevin hiding in a wardrobe in Kaitlyn's house.{S}
 He has returned to the chantry to be with his sister.{S}
 Dungeon <emp>Find the golem control rod</emp>{S}
 You have learned, from the ledgers in the store, that Lloyd the bartender bought the control rod several years ago. <emp>Obtain the golem control rod</emp>{S}
 Lloyd has been using the control rod to stop the wobble in one of his kegs for years.{S}
 It seems Anora managed to get to Eamon's estate, where she will be staying as a guest. <emp>Rescue Queen Anora</emp>{S}
 Queen Anora's handmaid, Erlina, has informed you that the queen is being held prisoner at Arl Howe's estate.{S}
 Erlina seeks your aid in freeing the queen.{S}
 She will help you sneak into the estate. <emp>Convince the barkeep to give the militia free drinks</emp>{S}
 You have learned that the Redcliffe militia is unhappy because they have to pay for drinks.{S}
 The men do not have much coin, and they face the prospect of a gory death.{S}
 Perhaps you could arrange for the militia to get their drinks for free. <emp>Rescue Queen Anora</emp>{S}
 You made it into Howe's estate.{S}
 Now you need to find Queen Anora's chambers and escort the queen from the estate safely.{S}
 Wait in the bushes until the time is right for you to make your move. <emp>Rescue Queen Anora</emp>{S}
 Are you all prepared?{S}
 I will go distract the guards. <emp>Prepare for the Landsmeet</emp>{S}
 You have come to Denerim for the Landsmeet.{S}
 Arl Eamon wishes to assemble the nobles to choose a new king that will unite Ferelden against the Blight.{S}
 However, Loghain is still a thorn in your side, and there is much to do before you can confront him.{S}
 Keep Eamon informed of your latest exploits.{S}
 He can usually be found in his sitting room in the upper floor of his estate.{S}
 Valena escaped to the village safely, only to discover her father, Owen, dead.{S}
 With nothing to keep her in Redcliffe, Valena has left to seek out family in another part of Ferelden.{S}
 Jump to start area (gather henchmen).{S}
 Jump to start of Landsmeet plot.{S}
 You brought Andraste's Ashes back from the hidden temple in the mountains.{S}
 The Ashes worked as the legend said they would, and Arl Eamon has recovered.{S}
 He has learned of the terrible things that happened while he was unconscious and plans to call the Landsmeet in Denerim.{S}
 So let it be.{S}
 You found Bann Teagan.{S}
 You helped him, and now he is the only survivor. <emp>Meet at the Mill</emp>{S}
 Bann Teagan has a plan for getting into the castle and is waiting for you by the mill.{S}
 Bann Teagan has left for the castle with the Arlessa Isolde.{S}
 Before he left, he gave you his signet ring, which opens a secret passageway into the castle, accessible through the windmill.{S}
 Take the secret passage and find out what is really going on in Castle Redcliffe.{S}
 You have learned that the cause of all this trouble is Eamon's young son, Connor, who unwittingly made a pact with a demon and became an abomination.{S}
 You did this to Connor!{S}
 I did not tell you because I believed we could help him.{S}
 I still do.{S}
 I see no way this can end happily. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 However, travel into the Fade requires lyrium and a large group of mages to do the ritual.{S}
 Failing that, the lifeblood of a person can also be used to perform the ritual.{S}
 Arlessa Isolde is willing to sacrifice her own life. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 Tossing aside all other available alternatives, you have chosen to fight the demon here and now.{S}
 Small Wooden Crate <emp>Seek the Circle's help to free Connor</emp>{S}
 However, travel into the Fade requires lyrium and a large group of mages to do the ritual.{S}
 You have volunteered to seek help from the Circle of Magi.{S}
 Bandit <emp>Find a way to free Sten</emp>{S}
 You opened the door to Sten's cage, but he has peculiar ideas about freedom, and has chosen to remain in the cage.{S}
 Oh, I do like that.{S}
 If given sufficient cause, why not?{S}
 Or else. <desc>Sigh</desc> I get a lot of that.{S}
 I did what I had to do.{S}
 The abomination was too dangerous to let be, and you had to slay it, destroying Connor in the process.{S}
 Wracked with guilt over the part she played in Connor's possession, and knowing that her son was in agonizing pain, Isolde made the decision to end his life, lovingly and gently, as only a mother could.{S}
 Someone sought to create a useful tool, and they employed magic to create the dog.{S}
 The dog has heard the tale, no?{S}
 I wonder, however, if the dog would have decided differently, had it had a choice?{S}
 Would it have remained a stupid and ineffective hound, but a happy one?{S}
 Just... keep your urine to yourself.{S}
 I take it we are no longer sisters in spirit?{S}
 I have thought about what the sister said.{S}
 What reason could your Maker have for such things?{S}
 The same He has for any... evil.{S}
 I have a difficult time believing in any higher power that would inflict evil upon the world.{S}
 Does it enjoy such jests?{S}
 It is any wonder this Maker has so many followers.{S}
 I have thought a little more about the sister's Maker.{S}
 I do not know who made me, but I doubt it was Him.{S}
 The important part of you... that part which makes you <emp>you</emp>...{S}
 He made that.{S}
 I do.{S}
 The ritual worked, and a mage was sent into the Fade to do battle with the demon.{S}
 Connor is free. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 Arlessa Isolde has sacrificed her life, that her son might be saved.{S}
 Jowan's blood magic ritual has sent one mage into the Fade, and that mage must defeat the demon in the Fade to free Connor.{S}
 Who is also made of stone.{S}
 Had it known then what it knows now, would its decision have been different? <desc>Sigh</desc> No.{S}
 No, I would not have killed her.{S}
 Even had I known.{S}
 The swamp witch has been looking at me oddly.{S}
 I am simply finding it difficult to believe that there is a woman inside of there.{S}
 Yes, that would explain a great deal. <desc>Sigh</desc> Now you are beginning to sound just like Alistair.{S}
 A rusty iron key. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 You chose Morrigan to travel into the Fade, to defeat the demon there. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 You chose Wynne to enter the Fade.{S}
 If the demon is defeated there, Connor's life will be saved. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 You ignored First Enchanter Irving's warning, and chose Jowan to enter the Fade.{S}
 Then we are done here.{S}
 I have faith that you will find a way to help my husband.{S}
 Do not forget that he risked his life to save Connor.{S}
 Why does the swamp witch still travel with the Grey Wardens?{S}
 It seems as if it has little reason to stay.{S}
 I have no history, and thus no purpose.{S}
 Keep asking questions and I shall turn into a bird.{S}
 I can do that. <desc>Snorts</desc> I have no fear of birds.{S}
 Oh, I did not say you were <emp>afraid</emp>.{S}
 I would simply hover out of reach, hovering, waiting until...{S}
 I am finding the nature of its relationship to this Branka difficult to imagine.{S}
 Make-up sex.{S}
 She really knew how to polish the old anvil, if you take my meaning! <desc>Whistles</desc> Paragon! <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I am done imagining, now.{S}
 They had some dwarves just like me, huh?{S}
 He also treated me with respect.{S}
 He once said I was made of the most lovely stone... lovely!{S}
 Did I say similar?{S}
 I think I had a wife like you, once.{S}
 I confess I did not listen.{S}
 You do not have to make it sound like you are passing a stone to admit it.{S}
 Or are you done?{S}
 Done.{S}
 Very done.{S}
 Enlightenment does not await them.{S}
 All who accept the Qun have their place, as any other.{S}
 In the lands we occupy, even the elves have come to embrace this concept.{S}
 It is as I have always said.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I wish to say that it has been pleasant fighting at the qunari's side.{S}
 I could watch you fight all day long--the skill you display, the form, how the light plays on its muscles...{S}
 Well done.{S}
 The demon has been vanquished, and the village saved.{S}
 Legend says that Andraste's Ashes have miraculous powers and can cure the ill.{S}
 The Redcliffe knights were on a quest for this Urn of Sacred Ashes, and you must finish what they have started.{S}
 This I have to see!{S}
 I have seen you take some bad hits.{S}
 Do not you feel anything?{S}
 So you remember your old master's name, right?{S}
 But you do not remember killing him, or how you got all free-willed or anything.{S}
 But you do remember the next thirty years?{S}
 My former master did something to me, which I do not remember.{S}
 How could you know he did something to you... unless you remember it!{S}
 Let us, for argument's sake, assume it is correct.{S}
 Because you, uh... could do it again!{S}
 Well, do not tell anyone.{S}
 I think I got it, now.{S}
 Do tell.{S}
 Does it involve prostitutes and quaint mining references?{S}
 And whatever that mage dug up in you, it made you lose control, did not it?{S}
 I bet you even <emp>liked</emp> the guy!{S}
 As stubborn as a mabari, and as good to have on your side.{S}
 Alistair has a claim to the throne?{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 I did not realize that you were a woman.{S}
 Does not that... mean anything to you?{S}
 What have I in common with her?{S}
 I do not... it talks in riddles.{S}
 I do not understand why you hate birds so much.{S}
 It is because I had to endure their chirping, their perching and most especially their constant sh-{S}
 They open their mouths and they <emp>sing</emp>!{S}
 Evil beasts of the sky. <desc>Sigh</desc> I give up.{S}
 No, do not deny it.{S}
 Does that hold no sway for you?{S}
 She gave up her body, willingly.{S}
 Do you even realize this?{S}
 I have heard an interesting tale of the qunari.{S}
 I am told that the qunari put mages on leashes.{S}
 It is not something that one should take pleasure in.{S}
 It is done because it is necessary.{S}
 Why not put them out of their misery?{S}
 Crush their skulls and be done with it.{S}
 You have been offended by such men, so your bloodlust can be forgiven.{S}
 Even so, they must serve just as any other must serve.{S}
 All must find their place within the qun.{S}
 It does sound like a delightful place, where it comes from.{S}
 I cannot say that they would not wish to put a leash on you as well, kadan.{S}
 That does sound less fun, yes.{S}
 Erlina tells me that Arl Eamon has gone ahead to call the Landsmeet.{S}
 I realize that my... actions at Howe's estate may not have painted me in the best light.{S}
 For that I apologize, and hope that we can start again.{S}
 I take him at his word: The battle could not be won. <desc>Sigh</desc> We must hurry.{S}
 There will be little time before the patrol finds what you have done.{S}
 Why did Loghain leave Cailan to die?{S}
 Do you know?{S}
 What my father saw, however, was the boy he had swaddled inviting Orlesian troops back into the land he had fought to free of them.{S}
 A finely wrought brass house key.{S}
 Truly, I have never felt so ill-prepared for a Landsmeet before.{S}
 He will need you.{S}
 I will meet you there.{S}
 But we have done all we can.{S}
 You have been tasked by Irving to go through with Jowan's plan so that both he and Lily can be caught red-handed.{S}
 Serving the Circle{S}
 Let us pray.{S}
 Blessed art thou who seeks His forgiveness.{S}
 Blessed art thou who seeks His return.{S}
 May the Chant reach the Maker's ears and tell Him of our contrition.{S}
 In the Maker's name, stop!{S}
 We will have order!{S}
 By calling the Landsmeet, I have struck the first blow.{S}
 He will have little choice but to show himself, to oppose us directly.{S}
 Stone met, Everd.{S}
 All right, what do we do now?{S}
 Something tells me she will not be as easy to get past as the others.{S}
 Have confidence.{S}
 If you wish to plan, do it quickly.{S}
 They may be taking the Warden for execution as we speak.{S}
 We can handle this.{S}
 We have faced worse already.{S}
 Let us just crush their heads and go.{S}
 Did you hear what happened to Ser Cauthrien?{S}
 Gentlemen, do you have time for a question, perhaps?{S}
 Hey, tell me something. <act>Let Alistair make conversation.</act>{S}
 Why are you spending your free time in this dull hall instead of out in the city or relaxing in the guard room?{S}
 What are you doing in this empty hall?{S}
 If I had the time, I would be in the tavern.{S}
 What are you doing hanging around in the hall?{S}
 I am sure this is a nice fort, but I would not want to spend <emp>all</emp> my time here.{S}
 Does your duty truly require that you devote even your own time to it?{S}
 Why do your officers keep the two of you standing about uselessly in the hall?{S}
 Surely you do not expect anyone to come in here and steal the ballistae.{S}
 What do they pay you guys to keep you standing here when you are off-duty? <act>Leave them alone.</act>{S}
 You never know when we might be needed... <desc>coughs</desc>{S}
 I thought it might have something to do with that pretty sergeant over there...{S}
 If you were needed, who would know to find you here?{S}
 Choose party.{S}
 Had sex.{S}
 Alistair has changed.{S}
 Leliana has changed.{S}
 Nowhere. <act>Let <DogName/> handle this.</act>{S}
 Well, I can not say the... ah... scenery here is not a good argument for spending time here.{S}
 You never said you had your eye on Tanna!{S}
 I have been posted here longer than you have.{S}
 I almost feel bad for doing that.{S}
 Take it easy; you can not just attack a mabari.{S}
 Did not you see that cur bite me?{S}
 He would not have bit you if you were not such an ass.{S}
 You are taking the <emp>dog's</emp> side?{S}
 Have you ever considered becoming a bard?{S}
 Well done.{S}
 Remind me to buy you a new pair of boots to chew on after this.{S}
 You are getting a <emp>very</emp> big steak when we get out of here.{S}
 Now let us find the Warden.{S}
 Now let us hurry.{S}
 T'is exactly what I would have done.{S}
 Do not.{S}
 It is for a good cause.{S}
 Now, let us go.{S}
 I do not know if I am impressed or afraid.{S}
 Does it know how to do that to birds? <desc>Anxious whine.</desc>{S}
 I... did not quite expect that.{S}
 I just wanted to maybe cause one <emp>on purpose.</emp>{S}
 Let us.{S}
 I have never seen anyone use his mouth as a weapon.{S}
 Do not gloat.{S}
 We still have work to do.{S}
 If I did not already know you were a witch, that would have proven it.{S}
 You did fine, Alistair.{S}
 Now let us hurry.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 Who cares?{S}
 It worked!{S}
 Let us find the Warden already.{S}
 How... no, do not tell me.{S}
 I do not want to know.{S}
 Oh, I can do all sorts of impressive things with my mouth...{S}
 Is it done?{S}
 We do not have all day.{S}
 You want to fight, do it in the mess like everyone else.{S}
 May I ask what you are doing, exactly?{S}
 What're you doing? <act>Let Alistair try to talk her into leaving.</act> <act>Leave her alone.</act>{S}
 Three Satinalias in a row, they have stuck me on barracks duty.{S}
 It seems a trivial thing for anyone to do, let alone a soldier in war time.{S}
 Hardly even any purpose to set a watch inside one's own fortress.{S}
 What a life you must lead.{S}
 What does it look like I am doing?{S}
 It... does not really look like you are doing anything.{S}
 Better that their peons continue to think themselves free.{S}
 You know, I joined the army to follow in my father's footsteps.{S}
 To make him proud.{S}
 And what do I get?{S}
 You have a point.{S}
 This is not what I had in mind when I signed on with the army.{S}
 Let somebody else guard their stupid door.{S}
 Everyone depending on you all the time... it does not keep you up at night?{S}
 You do not think to yourself, what if I slip up?{S}
 Did Boann send you? <desc>Sigh</desc> I already told her: I am old, not dead.{S}
 I can handle the work here perfectly well.{S}
 I am sorry... <act>Have Zevran bribe her.</act>{S}
 I have gotten turned around in here.{S}
 I have merely gotten lost. <desc>Laughs</desc> I, ah... was looking for the little dwarves' room.{S}
 I have served the Chantry longer than <emp>she</emp> has, and what do I get?{S}
 I just wanted to make a donation for the chapel.{S}
 Oh, I came to make a donation.{S}
 It is so important to keep up the Chant of Light in places like this.{S}
 I was just... looking to make a donation to the Fort Drakon Chapel.{S}
 I... do not suppose you would be the person to see about that?{S}
 I was merely hoping to give you something for your chapel.{S}
 You did not see me here, all right?{S}
 I have not spent thirty years ministering to the condemned to spend my days gardening and tatting lace, I will tell you that.{S}
 Preposterous idea. <act>Try to sneak out.</act> <act>Have Leliana calm her down.</act>{S}
 I do not care if she <emp>is</emp> the Grand Cleric's right hand!{S}
 Do not you walk away from me while I am talking to you!{S}
 I had no idea we were being sent here to <emp>slight</emp> you...{S}
 They took the others to Lord Vaughan's room.{S}
 Well met.{S}
 Dragged them to Lord Vaughan's quarters, they did.{S}
 They took the women you are looking for to Lord Vaughan's quarters.{S}
 She is got no business telling me how to run this chapel!{S}
 There is no way you could have won without cheating.{S}
 Just the kind of trash a human would pick up.{S}
 And it is about time I did something about it.{S}
 I am going to give that woman a piece of my mind...{S}
 Get out of my face, brand.{S}
 They should send someone to pick up the trash.{S}
 Stand back, I do not want to catch your diseases.{S}
 That offer should have gone to my brother.{S}
 Get away from me.{S}
 What are you doing here, brand?{S}
 It is wonderful to have a king again!{S}
 The Aeducans had their turn.{S}
 It is good to see another house take the throne.{S}
 I hope the Assembly picks a King soon.{S}
 You know we have reached the end times when a face-brand is free to wander around the Diamond Quarter.{S}
 I heard the Dace family cut off one of its branches because a daughter went to the surface and married an elf!{S}
 Get back to Dust Town where you belong!{S}
 Dwarven make?{S}
 I always supported King Bhelen.{S}
 I hear that elves have six toes on each foot.{S}
 Excellent showing in the Proving, Warden.{S}
 Bhelen promised if my aunt supported him, I could open a new mine in the Deeps.{S}
 I am sending my sons to help King Harrowmont put down this rebellion.{S}
 The Aeducans have held the throne for three hundred and seventy years.{S}
 I remember when the Grey Wardens would visit... oh, the festivities we had!{S}
 Who let <emp>that</emp> in here?{S}
 I thought for sure I would have to at least try the dress...{S}
 What took you so long?{S}
 You cannot seem to get your fill of our conversation.{S}
 I have made my choices, and come to this.{S}
 I have earned the task of dying in this cage, and I always carry out the tasks appointed to me.{S}
 Your mind has changed, then?{S}
 It is a simple matter.{S}
 Go, and do not look back.{S}
 What use is that?{S}
 Even my people have heard of your kith.{S}
 I can do that by dying here, too.{S}
 And so it is done.{S}
 In doing so I shall find my atonement.{S}
 Then I will find it myself.{S}
 I do not imagine your kind knows honor as mine do.{S}
 I have nowhere to go.{S}
 You have opened the door.{S}
 That does not make me free.{S}
 Did I not ask you to leave me in peace?{S}
 So you have said.{S}
 What you do with it is your decision.{S}
 I confess, I did not think the priestess would part with it.{S}
 Even in the far north, we have heard the legends of their strength and skill.{S}
 Set me free, and I will follow you against the Blight.{S}
 I have spent my life in the vanguard.{S}
 And your lands need all the help they can get.{S}
 You may try.{S}
 I have spent my life in war.{S}
 And your lands need all the help they can get.{S}
 You will find it difficult to move me, if I choose not to follow you.{S}
 It matters little, however.{S}
 Perhaps we have different ideas of freedom.{S}
 And once I am free, you expect me to go with you?{S}
 I have been a soldier of the vanguard all my days.{S}
 And it seems obvious that you need all the help you can get.{S}
 I can have no preference if I do not know what the choices are.{S}
 Even if you were to unlock this cage, I would not be free.{S}
 This has not changed.{S}
 But once the door is opened, do you intend me to follow you?{S}
 What are you doing that requires help?{S}
 I have nothing to say that would amuse you, elf.{S}
 I have nothing to say that would amuse a dwarf.{S}
 I will not amuse you any more than I have the other humans.{S}
 I have been placed here by the Chantry.{S}
 Though it matters little, now.{S}
 I have been convicted of murder.{S}
 Have the villagers not spoken of this?{S}
 However I feel, whatever I have done, my life is forfeit now.{S}
 Either you have an enviable memory, or a pitiable life, to know nothing of regret.{S}
 What help do you seek?{S}
 My people have heard legends of the Grey Wardens' strength and skill... though I suppose not every legend is true.{S}
 Everyone does not try to fight it.{S}
 Importance is a matter of perspective.{S}
 What does your wisdom say is equal to my crime?{S}
 Then we are where we began.{S}
 I would prefer to die in battle, but my choices have been made.{S}
 If you cannot see a use for him, I suggest releasing him for mercy's sake alone.{S}
 I would not have expected that from you.{S}
 I would also suggest that Alistair take his place in the cage.{S}
 Yes, <emp>that is</emp> what I would have expected.{S}
 Not to put too fine a point on it, but qunari are renowned warriors.{S}
 Perhaps if you told her the Grey Wardens need my assistance.{S}
 It seems as likely to bring my death as waiting here.{S}
 Or you show manners I have not come to expect in your lands.{S}
 Even though the door is open?{S}
 What is the matter with you?{S}
 I can use your help.{S}
 Anything has to be better than that cage.{S}
 And what if I do not lead you to your atonement?{S}
 Glad to have you with us.{S}
 I, uh... guess that will do.{S}
 I do not want your help; you are free to go.{S}
 Yes, you are free to go.{S}
 I have the key to open your cage.{S}
 And if I choose to do something else with you?{S}
 Very well, I will let you out.{S}
 You can go free; I do not need you.{S}
 And if I do not want you with us?{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 If I do not offer the details? <act>Lie</act> She agreed to release you into my custody.{S}
 I killed her and took the key.{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 You can be free.{S}
 Whatever you think, you will still be free.{S}
 So long as you do what I say, yes.{S}
 Then, yes, as long as you do what I say.{S}
 I have no need of you.{S}
 I will just set you free.{S}
 I am just setting you free.{S}
 What do you mean, "Why?"{S}
 Do not you want to be free?{S}
 Does that really matter right now?{S}
 Who put you here?{S}
 And just what are you doing in there?{S}
 I have heard qunari called "the warmongers of the north."{S}
 I could give you some food and water.{S}
 I could end it for you now, if you prefer.{S}
 What did you do to end up in here?{S}
 Who did you murder?{S}
 If you feel guilty about the murder, why did you do it?{S}
 Capturing you must have been difficult.{S}
 You did not resist capture?{S}
 What an odd thing to do.{S}
 How long have you been here?{S}
 I find myself in need of skilled help.{S}
 What do you care, so long as you are free?{S}
 Are not you interested in seeking atonement?{S}
 Would the revered mother let you free?{S}
 Then stay in there, for all I care.{S}
 Pleased to meet you.{S}
 My family has always supported the Aeducans.{S}
 I have nothing to fear from King Bhelen.{S}
 The ancestors have always favored the Aeducans.{S}
 You are here to support your brother, of course? <desc>Gasps</desc> You are the brand that desecrated the Provings!{S}
 At least we have a king again.{S}
 I am glad we have a king again.{S}
 How do you stand it?{S}
 The Wardens must be crazy.... recruiting a brand!{S}
 King Endrin chose Lord Harrowmont, but the ancestors spoke differently.{S}
 The ancestors have spoken!{S}
 It is times like this we really need a Paragon.{S}
 What is a human doing... oh, must be the Grey Warden we heard about.{S}
 I bet they are avoiding Orzammar because of all the trouble.{S}
 No offence, but I have often wondered how you people get by with your awkwardly long limbs.{S}
 Do not talk to me, exile.{S}
 I hear that is the brand the Wardens recruited.{S}
 King Endrin chose him!{S}
 I heard about a brand being recruited to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 I did not believe it till now.{S}
 What happens if the Assembly never picks a king?{S}
 Oh, I am so glad they have chosen a king!{S}
 It is nice to see Harrowmont get his due.{S}
 Hmph, Bhelen's supporters are not going to take this lying down.{S}
 He always had better taste in clothes.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont will make a wise king.{S}
 I hear the surface kingdoms are having problems too.{S}
 He will make a great king.{S}
 My brother was supposed to have a Proving today, but they are too far behind schedule.{S}
 I assure you I can handle myself!{S}
 We just met!{S}
 Let me introduce myself.{S}
 I joined the Chantry to live a life of religious contemplation, but I am no priest, not even an initiate.{S}
 That is what Grey Wardens do?{S}
 I know after what happened, you will need all the help you can get.{S}
 Ah, I thought you might say that, but you see, the Maker wants me to join you.{S}
 I had a dream... a vision!{S}
 The Maker does not want this.{S}
 What you do, what you are <emp>meant</emp> to do, is the Maker's work.{S}
 Let me help!{S}
 I can do more than fight.{S}
 I put aside that life when I came here, but now... if it is the Maker's will, I will take it up again.{S}
 Please let me help you.{S}
 It is not important that you believe what I say, only that you serve the Maker in the end.{S}
 I appreciate being given this chance.{S}
 I <emp>will not</emp> let you down.{S}
 The Maker has love for all!{S}
 I know you may not believe, but I had a dream... a vision!{S}
 Oh, I knew the Maker had sent a true dream!{S}
 A vision, that by serving you, I serve His holy plan.{S}
 The Maker told me to join you.{S}
 Surely He would not do so without good reason.{S}
 Many of us had more... colorful lives before we joined.{S}
 And I know that you did what you had to.{S}
 I do wish they had backed down, however.{S}
 I am glad you found it in your heart to offer those men mercy.{S}
 Are we getting a move on?{S}
 Oh, am I getting ahead of myself?{S}
 That is quite the temper you have, Sister.{S}
 We haven't met at all, actually.{S}
 I need more than prayers, I am afraid.{S}
 I will stop the Blight, but I do not need you.{S}
 Then join me, if you would fight them.{S}
 I do not need your help, Sister.{S}
 I will not turn away help when it is offered.{S}
 Why should I care what your god wants?{S}
 I will need help, that is true. <act>Lie</act> These men were mistaken.{S}
 Why do you even want to follow me?{S}
 If that is what you want, I do need the help.{S}
 Where does a sister learn to fight like that?{S}
 I appreciate what you tried to do.{S}
 I do not even know you!{S}
 The Paragons have spoken and Bhelen is king!{S}
 You could not have come to Orzammar at a worse time.{S}
 And it made him King.{S}
 I support King Harrowmont fully!{S}
 What is one of <emp>those</emp> doing up here?{S}
 King Endrin chose Harrowmont as his successor, and that is good enough for me.{S}
 They took my brother away.{S}
 It is strange not having an Aeducan on the throne.{S}
 Put down those weapons, brand, before you end up in a cell.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont is such a good, caring man.{S}
 He will make a great king.{S}
 Wow, I have never seen an elf before.{S}
 It is been so dangerous ever since the king took ill.{S}
 I am going to lie low until King Harrowmont puts down this rebellion.{S}
 Very few outsiders ever get to see our wondrous city.{S}
 Do not they usually come to Orzammar in groups?{S}
 The ancestors have taken her from this world!{S}
 It is about time the darkspawn started attacking the surface.{S}
 They have bothered us for far too long.{S}
 Watered down ale, damp beds, rickety stools... why do I even bother?{S}
 Care to chat?{S}
 He is down at the other end of the hall, my child.{S}
 If you are not bleeding, I do not care.{S}
 You have to let me out of here.{S}
 I think I will not be waiting around, if you do not mind...{S}
 Well, I <emp>could</emp> keep you company...{S}
 I do not dally with king slayers, bitch.{S}
 Do tell.{S}
 Why do not you take that off so we can get started?{S}
 Let me out, and I will try to hold them off!{S}
 Let me out, or we are all going to die!{S}
 You know, I am almost disappointed we did not get to try our plan... ah, well.{S}
 We had an excellent rescue planned...{S}
 Well, I should have known you would be all right.{S}
 Let us get out of here, shall we?{S}
 Ah, my dear Warden, did you miss me?{S}
 Now let us get out of here.{S}
 You will not believe what they wanted me to do to get you out...{S}
 I suppose its escape means I will not get to crush any heads now. <desc>Sigh</desc>{S}
 You found the body of a templar, slain by bandits.{S}
 His corpse had been picked clean of everything, save a note and a locket.{S}
 Arl Howe wants to keep people out, does he?{S}
 What have the elves done this time?{S}
 Knife-ears even have the gall to attack the arl's only son!{S}
 Maker, do not be so melodramatic.{S}
 First thing he did was lead a purge of the Alienage.{S}
 When things are put back in order, the gates will be reopened.{S}
 I do not suppose you know anything of tonics, medicines, or herbs?{S}
 Then you may be able to do us a lot of good.{S}
 Maker's Breath, you have answered my prayers! <desc>Coughs</desc>{S}
 We do our best, but we are out of supplies.{S}
 If you make a few poultices, I will scrape together some sort of payment. <emp>Find a way to free Sten</emp>{S}
 I do.{S}
 I lived to ensure that the Anvil was never used again.{S}
 It was good to meet you, Paragon.{S}
 Let us be done with this.{S}
 Do not suppose you can bring Branka back?{S}
 Maybe make her a golem, like you?{S}
 I would not do such a thing to her even if I could.{S}
 Somehow I did not think so.{S}
 Then I do not want anything that would remind me of... this.{S}
 Best it is just done.{S}
 Have you not understood anything that was done, here?{S}
 There... is still the matter of the election.{S}
 I mean... we still need a Paragon to get the Assembly's support, right?{S}
 And so Valtor had me put on the Anvil, next.{S}
 My apprentices knew enough to make me as I am, but not enough to fashion a control rod.{S}
 We have remained entombed here ever since, and I have sought a way to destroy the Anvil.{S}
 Alas, I cannot do it myself.{S}
 No golem can touch it.{S}
 The blow of the hammer opened my eyes.{S}
 I entombed myself here to find a way to destroy the Anvil!{S}
 It must not be used again!{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 I will thank you for anything your skill can add to my cause.{S}
 Arl Eamon has recovered and has learned of the terrible things that happened while he was unconscious.{S}
 He has given you his word to aid you in stopping both Loghain and the Blight.{S}
 The Landsmeet has been called, and you must now go to Denerim, to take the fight to Loghain. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 You chose to go into the Fade, in the hopes that it can be defeated there, saving Connor's life. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 First Enchanter Irving and his fellow mages met you at Castle Redcliffe, as promised.{S}
 Their ritual has sent one mage into the Fade, and that mage must defeat the demon in the Fade to free Connor. <emp>Weed out the bandits</emp>{S}
 You have been rewarded by the chanter for removing all three bandit groups north of Lothering.{S}
 Do you need any help?{S}
 Have any luck finding herbs in the woods?{S}
 I found them.{S}
 I will write all you need to know in this note here.{S}
 Know of any well-paying work in Lothering?{S}
 I do not suppose you know anything about poison?{S}
 So you want to buy something, instead?{S}
 I have got some traps around my place-- I heard that poison hurts them beasties just as good as anybody else.{S}
 I have... dabbled in such things.{S}
 That is not a skill I would care to possess.{S}
 Why do you need poison?{S}
 I figured if I kept asking I would find someone!{S}
 I would pay good coin for some simple poison.{S}
 Something to slow them beasties down or make them think twice.{S}
 Can you make poison or not?{S}
 That is a hare-brained idea, if I have ever heard one.{S}
 I might have some ingredients in stock.{S}
 Do not really know what you need.{S}
 I do not really know what you need, though.{S}
 I might have some in stock, too.{S}
 Any idea where I could get ingredients?{S}
 I have what you asked for.{S}
 If those beasties come on my land, I hope it teaches them a lesson.{S}
 There should be enough around to make some.{S}
 Even if it is just rat poison, I will take it.{S}
 I d-do not suppose you know anyone that can make traps?{S}
 What do you need traps for?{S}
 Sorry, I can not make traps.{S}
 I did not mean to bother you.{S}
 He is got traps on his farm.{S}
 I figured I would put a few on my lands.{S}
 He do not have any poison yet, thank the Maker.{S}
 Barlin has poison traps on his land?!{S}
 Why do not you just buy some?{S}
 I would... happily pay you to make some.{S}
 Come back if you make some.{S}
 None to be had.{S}
 Barlin has all the traps in the village in his fields.{S}
 D-did you make any traps?{S}
 I have the traps for you.{S}
 Do I scare you or something?{S}
 All st-strangers do.{S}
 I did not mean to offend you.{S}
 Whenever you get around to it.{S}
 I appreciate it. <emp>Find the orphan's mother</emp>{S}
 The chanter is offering a small reward to anyone who is willing to venture out into the wilderness to find the remains of a missing woman, Sarha.{S}
 Her personal effects may bring some small measure of comfort to her orphaned son. <emp>Return the keepsake to the chantry in Lothering</emp>{S}
 You found the body of Sarha, the orphan boy's mother.{S}
 You have found her keepsake and should return it to the chantry in Lothering as soon as possible.{S}
 The chanter has rewarded you for returning Sarha's remains.{S}
 Elder Miriam has requested that you use your skill with herbs to craft some lesser health poultices for the injured refugees of Lothering.{S}
 You gave the lesser health poultices you made to Elder Miriam.{S}
 Wait, we need to put on our disguises.{S}
 What good are the uniforms if they will not get us inside?{S}
 "Know that all those who prey upon refugees do so under pain of death.{S}
 The templars offer a sizeable reward for the apprehension or execution of the bandit leaders plying their trade in the northern wood and roads.{S}
 Residents of good standing and passing travelers have indicated there are three bandit groups in the northern wood.{S}
 May the Maker look after his children in our hour of need.{S}
 As the Maker is my witness, I charge all those with knowledge of arms and armor to brave the dangers of the northern wood to find the family of bears that mauled and killed the boy Eneth.{S}
 For they are an abomination in the Maker's sight and their hides would prove great comfort to the northern farms and solace for Thed's family.{S}
 As chanter for Lothering, I do pledge a sum of one sovereign to whoever carries out this, the Maker's will.{S}
 A thanks to all villagers who've opened their barns and crofts to the refugees in these dark times.{S}
 As she has been missing for the better part of a week as of this writing, she is presumed dead.{S}
 In later years, the boy will be thankful to have such keepsakes to remember his brave mother by.{S}
 I have important matters to discuss.{S}
 The only thing that truly worries me is Eamon's notion of putting this bastard on Maric's throne.{S}
 I would rather see Anora keep the throne, myself.{S}
 Have you heard the news about Howe?{S}
 Everyone in the city has.{S}
 Did they not serve together in the war?{S}
 You have met him.{S}
 The man made vipers seem personable.{S}
 Well, I-I did not say I was shedding any tears over his passing.{S}
 Did you see Wulff's face when he arrived?{S}
 I heard West Hills has fallen to darkspawn.{S}
 Surely you have seen the Blight yourself?{S}
 You know very well I have been in Denerim these past two years.{S}
 Rosalyn's health requires us to be in town, you understand.{S}
 He tells me that I owe you his life.{S}
 I suppose I have yet to recover from the shock of seeing Oswyn.{S}
 I am Bann Sighard of the Dragon's Peak Bannorn, and I owe you a debt of gratitude for your kindness to my son.{S}
 When my grandfather's brother was taken by the Orlesians, they asked for forty sovereigns for his safe return.{S}
 Will that do?{S}
 Know that I will stand behind you at the Landsmeet, with all the support I can muster.{S}
 In fact, I am taking my supper today with Bann Reginalda of the White River Bannorn.{S}
 What care I for gold when it will not help my son walk without pain?{S}
 Take these forty sovereigns and my heartfelt gratitude.{S}
 I do not know... prices have gone up since then.{S}
 I need no thanks for simple compassion.{S}
 I have no time to deal with supplicants.{S}
 I cannot thank you enough for what you have done.{S}
 You may ask any reward it is in my power to find.{S}
 I would bring troops against his son, but Oswyn tells me Thomas had no part in his father's depravity.{S}
 Do not even think you can spill that and leave it for me to clean.{S}
 It is so nice to be in <emp>civilization!</emp> You can not buy Orlesian silks <emp>anywhere</emp> in South Reach!{S}
 You are too large to use this.{S}
 This door would require massive force to break.{S}
 Perhaps they are interested in giving sovereigns to the Chantry, feeding orphans, clothing idiots, or whatever it is you want.{S}
 All of southern Ferelden covered by black clouds, the ground rotting beneath your feet, plagues and darkspawn raids going on until even the crows get sick of the smell of carrion.{S}
 Boy, take your petition to the darkspawn if it is so important to you.{S}
 They hold my arling now.{S}
 I did not know the West Hills had fallen.{S}
 I am sorry. <desc>Coughs</desc> Yes, I had heard that.{S}
 The men were short on decent armor and weapons for a while, but Owen, the blacksmith, has started repairing our equipment.{S}
 You did not have anything to do with his change of heart, did you?{S}
 Maybe we will make it through this night after all.{S}
 Maybe I did.{S}
 How quick did you cut leash and run at Ostagar?{S}
 No matter.{S}
 I have nothing left for you to take, Grey Warden.{S}
 None of it looks terribly well-made, but it should be serviceable. <emp>Talk to Murdock</emp>{S}
 You found a stash of equipment in Owen's shop.{S}
 It is not much, but perhaps the militia could find some use for it.{S}
 You should never have come!{S}
 Who told these things to come and play?{S}
 You are too small to use this.{S}
 This is taking too long!{S}
 That will not work, sorry.{S}
 I must have a word.{S}
 That should work.{S}
 That will not work at all.{S}
 Do not push me!{S}
 Do not move!{S}
 I would not do that, were I you.{S}
 You take me for a fool?{S}
 You have no honor!{S}
 Well done!{S}
 In the name of the King! <desc>Angry, frustrated grunt</desc>{S}
 I am in need of help!{S}
 It is done!{S}
 Hold.{S}
 I will have a word.{S}
 Do not test me!{S}
 Could this take any longer?{S}
 I do not quite agree with that.{S}
 We could always use some extra bodies.{S}
 I see you have convinced Dwyn to come out and help.{S}
 That will make a huge difference.{S}
 Now, let us see.{S}
 I get back, I will have...{S}
 Where does one have to go to get a...{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 I need some help here!{S}
 Thing you are good enough to take me?{S}
 I did it!{S}
 Take all of that!{S}
 Let us get on with it!{S}
 I do not know...{S}
 The Litany has the power to stun demons and stop mind-controlling blood magic if it is used at the moment the spell is cast.{S}
 Well done!{S}
 I have better things to do than this. long laugh{S}
 Nicely done!{S}
 Do not push me further!{S}
 Must we keep waiting?{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 Do not come any closer!{S}
 I... can not take the waiting!{S}
 They will never take me!{S}
 I do not want to hurt you!{S}
 Do not make me...{S}
 Why do we delay?{S}
 You have a single warning!{S}
 A letter found in Berwick's possession.{S}
 I do not approve.{S}
 That will do the trick.{S}
 What do you <emp>think</emp> happened?{S}
 Did the Blight escape your notice? <desc>Sigh</desc> There is no point talking about it.{S}
 I have nothing for you, anyway.{S}
 And plague does not care about skill or bravery.{S}
 You will have to excuse me.{S}
 What do you suppose Eamon is playing at?{S}
 Surely he does not expect us to believe Anora unfit to rule with her father to advise her.{S}
 South Reach is overrun.{S}
 I have little time to devote to politics at present.{S}
 Has the Blight truly spread so far?{S}
 Most of my freeholders have fled to Redcliffe and Lothering, but I doubt they will be safe there for long.{S}
 Bryland, I had no idea.{S}
 Wulff lost both his boys to darkspawn, trying to evacuate West Hills.{S}
 You served in the same regiment under Maric.{S}
 But I heard that his family will not make the trip from Amaranthine.{S}
 Will you let him go to the flames unmourned?{S}
 That he did not die years ago is the only thing worth mourning here.{S}
 I had hoped to see him while I was in town, but he is made himself scarce.{S}
 Every time I have called at the Chantry, he is been away.{S}
 That does not sound like Irminric.{S}
 Habren has done nothing since we have arrived except spend coin on herself.{S}
 If we stay in Denerim much longer, I will have to send her to a cloister.{S}
 No need for such drastic measures.{S}
 Do not tempt me, Sighard.{S}
 Be careful with that package, you lazy slut, it is worth more than you will make in ten years.{S}
 Do not stare at me, churl.{S}
 I can have my father send you south to fight darkspawn, you know.{S}
 Kill Yevena, the demoness that rules here.{S}
 Take my power...{S}
 A small, plain, brass key. <desc>Screams</desc> Do not hurt me!{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 You found a boy hiding in a wardrobe in a house in Redcliffe.{S}
 You might want to check in on him, to make sure he got there safely.{S}
 Shh... they will not find me here.{S}
 They will not find me here!{S}
 Do not move!{S}
 You... you did it.{S}
 I give you my wisdom, it will let you <emp>see</emp>.{S}
 You chose to withhold the lesser health poultices from Elder Miriam. <emp>Find the golem control rod</emp>{S}
 You found a letter in Wilhelm's cottage.{S}
 According to the letter, after Wilhelm's death, all his belongings were sold to the general store, along with a golem control rod.{S}
 You have finally tracked down the golem control rod.{S}
 Now to see what it can do...{S}
 Wait a minute... we have got an intruder!{S}
 We have a break-in! <desc>Sigh</desc> Kennel duty.{S}
 Nobody in his right mind tries to steal an attack dog.{S}
 I do not see anyone guarding me.{S}
 Hey, you do not belong in here!{S}
 What the--you do not belong here!{S}
 I hope the cook's not made mutton again.{S}
 We have got intruders!{S}
 Where does the arl buy this junk?{S}
 But I expect you have important matters to deal with.{S}
 I am free.{S}
 Take Rhagos' power, use it and him... burn them all.{S}
 Allison has heard that Barlin is setting traps around his land to protect himself from the darkspawn, and wants to protect herself in a similar fashion.{S}
 Since Barlin has all the traps in the village, she needs you to make three spring traps for her.{S}
 You have made the traps that Allison needs.{S}
 Take them to her.{S}
 You gave Allison the traps you made.{S}
 You gave Allison the traps you made and insisted you be compensated for your time and trouble.{S}
 You gave Allison the traps you made and insisted you be compensated for your time and trouble.{S}
 You are now in Fort Drakon and Loghain no doubt has plans for you.{S}
 Perhaps you should try to escape before you learn exactly what those plans are.{S}
 You gave Allison the traps you made and refused a reward.{S}
 Three flasks of venom should do the trick.{S}
 You gave Barlin the poison you made and he rewarded you accordingly. <emp>Create a poison for Barlin</emp>{S}
 You have the poison Barlin wants.{S}
 Use to complete quest{S}
 Do something about it!{S}
 I do not hear anything.{S}
 I have had enough of this noise!{S}
 Scour his soul and make him clean!{S}
 I cannot take anymore.{S}
 Please, let this be over!{S}
 It is time for this dream to come to an end.{S}
 I give you my strength.{S}
 It will be of little use against the demon that rules here but perhaps it will help in other realms.{S}
 Find a way to kill all the demon lords to open the way to Sloth.{S}
 Free us all from this nightmare! <emp>Talk to the mouse</emp>{S}
 You met a mouse in the Fade who seems to have been a mage apprentice at some point.{S}
 He may have some information that could help you. <emp>Find the demoness protecting the sloth demon</emp>{S}
 You will get plenty of fresh air at the gallows tomorrow.{S}
 I can not take it any more!{S}
 Hey, do not I know you? ....What do you think this is, a tavern?{S}
 That was the saddest line I have ever heard.{S}
 Wardens take all kinds, I guess...{S}
 What do you want to do?{S}
 Debugger is assuming the is doing the <emp>barest minimum</emp> to get the village ready.{S}
 Setting flag: has spoken to Perth and the knights are ready.{S}
 Now talk to Perth or Murdock to start the battle.{S}
 You have much to do with Tamlen still missing.{S}
 He was very surprised to hear what she had to say.{S}
 Get away from me!{S}
 The Landsmeet has been called.{S}
 Arl Eamon has gone to the Landsmeet chambers.{S}
 You should meet him there as soon as you can.{S}
 What ending?{S}
 Who was recruited?{S}
 What was done?{S}
 Urn found (finish urn plot){S}
 Urn found + Eamon restored (opens Landsmeet){S}
 You are married?{S}
 I should not have asked.{S}
 I... do not know what to say to that.{S}
 Carried off?{S}
 Ah... there is really no need to dwell on this, is there?{S}
 Did she get cold feet?{S}
 Did her parents disapprove of the match?{S}
 How did this wedding come to naught?{S}
 Did she find out you...{S}
 You left him at the altar, did not you?{S}
 You are... married?{S}
 You did not mention that!{S}
 And we got the wrong cake.{S}
 It did not end well.{S}
 Debugger assuming the is doing the <emp>barest mininum</emp> to get to this point in the plot.{S}
 Setting flag: has agreed to help Teagan.{S}
 Setting flag: has equipped militia by getting Owen to make weapons.{S}
 Setting flag: has agreed to find Valena (Owen's daughter) in order to get him to make weapons.{S}
 Setting flag: Murdock is also ready.{S}
 Setting flag: Battle is over.{S}
 Setting flag: Battle outcome is normal.{S}
 Setting flag: has been given Teagan's signet ring.{S}
 Setting flag: Teagan has gone into the castle with Isolde.{S}
 I wonder why nobody ever taught me <emp>her</emp> version of the Chant when I was a templar.{S}
 Do not let them get in!{S}
 Do not let them through!{S}
 I can not do that!{S}
 The law will get you!{S}
 I wish this wasn't taking so long...{S}
 I have to go!{S}
 I would not try that!{S}
 Get them!{S}
 I need reinforcement!{S}
 I can not do it!{S}
 No one gets out!{S}
 Do not let them fall back!{S}
 We did it!{S}
 I will get you!{S}
 Do stand still!{S}
 I need aid!{S}
 I must get out of here!{S}
 Surely there are better uses for my time.{S}
 How do you do?{S}
 Someone will take care of you!{S}
 Certainly this could not take any longer...{S}
 I shall get the guard!{S}
 I need to speak with you, please.{S}
 The Proving Grounds{S}
 Give me strength!{S}
 I wonder what Cassandra is wearing right now...{S}
 I have heard better from an Orlesian!{S}
 I would not do that!{S}
 Hold up, please!{S}
 Could I possibly have a word with you?{S}
 I would not do that if I were you.{S}
 I would not be making any sudden moves, Flynn here is a mite edgy.{S}
 Make it hurt, lads!{S}
 Take that.{S}
 Hurt, do not it?{S}
 Do not move, just do not!{S}
 I will just a have a rest...{S}
 It just never ends!{S}
 No, it will never work. !{S}
 The voices will find you, they will!{S}
 Perhaps I will take a rest.{S}
 That would work.{S}
 I would have a word with you.{S}
 Yes, I suppose that will do.{S}
 Do not you dare.{S}
 For He would speak through me, and He would have you listen."{S}
 Well done!{S}
 Truly, well done!{S}
 If I might have a word?{S}
 Perhaps another tack may serve you better?{S}
 I have a good many friends.{S}
 Did the player get any additional army?{S}
 How I wish a shemlen would pass by, so I could have some target practice.{S}
 Everybody's just taking their sweet time.{S}
 Well, you get on, you.{S}
 If you got a moment, we need to talk.{S}
 That will work, I think.{S}
 I would not do that if I were you.{S}
 I have got a whole village of folk here that will not put up with that.{S}
 We should begin packing again, soon.{S}
 The gods have smiled on us!{S}
 Mmm, that will not work.{S}
 We need to get out of here!{S}
 Should not have left your hovel today!{S}
 Do not make me angry.{S}
 You have my thanks.{S}
 Has dog been healed (assuming the player does not have dog from the origin story){S}
 Father wanders, seeking me, trapped within my web.{S}
 She has every right to do as she wishes.{S}
 Do not persist, or things will go very badly for you.{S}
 She needs him too.{S}
 I do not believe you.{S}
 Because you have taken a child, and trapped a good man in this place against his will.{S}
 Why do you speak through illusions?{S}
 Come, let us converse.{S}
 Everything ends.{S}
 They will never let you get away with this.{S}
 Why do you keep hurting me?!{S}
 Why are you trying to stop me?{S}
 You will not find what you seek!{S}
 I am just trying to help.{S}
 Give me what I want!{S}
 We do not have to fight.{S}
 Are you the one that made Father ill?{S}
 How do I know that?{S}
 I will not let you!{S}
 You will not get near her!{S}
 I will not let you!{S}
 Run along and play... or whatever.{S}
 I do not have time for fool children.{S}
 Because I need Arl Eamon awake and well.{S}
 Perhaps it does not have to end. <act>Reason with this entity.</act>{S}
 I take it that means you are not him.{S}
 That I seek the demon controlling him.{S}
 Obviously, you fear I will indeed find what I seek.{S}
 Give me what I want!{S}
 Let us speak.{S}
 We need not fight.{S}
 Is Connor truly amongst you? <act>Try to communicate.</act> <act>Attack.</act>{S}
 No, I did not make your father sick.{S}
 Let us talk calmly, then, and figure this out.{S}
 It was the demon that did that.{S}
 How could she say that after everything we did for her?{S}
 I can not keep this up!{S}
 I need some help!{S}
 Looks like we are going to have to do some fighting.{S}
 I got one!{S}
 We have to do something!{S}
 It is not working!{S}
 It is done.{S}
 Let us not be hasty.{S}
 Destined for the chosen king of Orzammar.{S}
 I do love to work in front of an audience.{S}
 Do not worry, I could do this blindfolded.{S}
 I have wanted a private word with him since Ostagar, anyway.{S}
 You found a dwarven woman named Hespith, one of Branka's captains who was captured by the darkspawn.{S}
 The first door that leads into the repository was made to be opened by representatives of both the Chantry and the Circle.{S}
 Lily's password and your magic got you past it.{S}
 Now to find the phylactery chamber.{S}
 That is the best you can do?{S}
 I-I got one!{S}
 I think I am getting the hang of this.{S}
 There is other things I could be doing, you know?{S}
 Uhh... maybe something else could work better?{S}
 You will never take our land, again!{S}
 Get away!{S}
 Get them off me!{S}
 I think I got one.{S}
 Did I kill it?{S}
 I just want to get back home.{S}
 That works.{S}
 I think we need another idea.{S}
 Could use a little help here.{S}
 That the best you got?{S}
 Got fields to plow.{S}
 Cataloging can get so dreadfully dull.{S}
 You have my sincere thanks.{S}
 Oh, I will have to do penance for that.{S}
 You might find it in your best interests to reconsider. *cough* H-Hello.{S}
 Meet my axe.{S}
 I am not even started yet, ladies.{S}
 I could use a mite of help here.{S}
 You think you can take on the likes of me?{S}
 That is all you got?{S}
 Give me another.{S}
 I got my armor on for this?{S}
 Hold on for a moment.{S}
 You have got my thanks.{S}
 And that is how it is done.{S}
 I would have a word with you.{S}
 I think you need to do some more thinking.{S}
 Feel free.{S}
 I could use a workout.{S}
 Oh, now you have gone and done it!{S}
 Taken it where?{S}
 What would they do with him?{S}
 The Chantry teaches us that it is the hubris of men which brought the darkspawn into our world.{S}
 The mages had sought to usurp Heaven, but instead they destroyed it.{S}
 It has been four centuries since that victory and we have kept our vigil.{S}
 We have watched and waited for the darkspawn to return.{S}
 But those who once called us heroes... have forgotten.{S}
 We are few now, and our warnings have been ignored for too long.{S}
 Keep an eye out, maybe we will see the other one.{S}
 You found the Urn of Sacred Ashes!{S}
 How did you complete the plot?{S}
 Get the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 You run off and get the Circle mages.{S}
 Did you... did you feel it, too? <emp>Seek the Circle's help to free Connor</emp>{S}
 Meet the Circle mages at Castle Redcliffe as soon as you can.{S}
 Or I will have you escorted out.{S}
 We done heard what was said.{S}
 I do not know if you killed King Cailan, and Maker forgive me, I do not care.{S}
 Open up Urn village (can happen only in Denerim){S}
 Open travel for Orzammar (opens when exiting Redcliffe village to the west){S}
 No need.{S}
 I will have it dealt with... again.{S}
 I can do that, if you like.{S}
 We will need to talk, now that you have... survived.{S}
 I would give it some time, my dear.{S}
 Do not... wait too long, then.{S}
 Do as you were meant to.{S}
 I am sure it would be better if you got some rest.{S}
 I have enough demanding my attention to keep me up for hours, yet.{S}
 Until then, the arl is going to keep me busy.{S}
 Come and see me when the march begins.{S}
 Jump me to the start of the castle (with plot flags set).{S}
 Jump me to the start of the castle (without setting flags).{S}
 Do you hear it?{S}
 Do you hear the dogs howling?{S}
 No, you can not have "just a little taste," first.{S}
 We can not work with your lot in the way!{S}
 You are now in Fort Drakon and Loghain no doubt has plans for you.{S}
 Hopefully, your friends will find some way to get you out before you learn exactly what those plans are.{S}
 If it interests you, there is a chanter's board outside full of quests that need doing.{S}
 The chanters even offer pay for some of them. <emp>Escape from Fort Drakon</emp>{S}
 Your friends have broken you out of your cell, and now you must fight your way out of Fort Drakon.{S}
 I swore to the Crows that the things they taught me were to remain a secret.{S}
 You need to learn the arts of the Crows in order to slay darkspawn, do you?{S}
 You seem to be doing fine as it is.{S}
 If you are truly insistent... well, let me think about it.{S}
 Come now, you do not need this training!{S}
 I do not yet want the Crows to <emp>actively</emp> hunt me, you see.{S}
 I will make it fun, I promise.{S}
 I could teach others, but not yourself.{S}
 First I would need someone who has training as a rogue... that is, unless you would care to spend the years it takes to gain the fundamentals.{S}
 All right, but I get to stare at you luridly while you do so.{S}
 Well, the <emp>Crows</emp> would have you believe that it is an involved process that takes years of training, the sort that tests both your resolve and your endurance.{S}
 Survive that process and maybe, just maybe, you are good enough to start being considered one of them.{S}
 But quite frankly the truth is that all it requires is a desire to kill people for a living.{S}
 It is surprising how well one can do in such a field.{S}
 Now, now, it need not be thought of so <emp>crudely</emp>.{S}
 We all do our share of murdering around here, do not we?{S}
 I do not know about that.{S}
 It is simply a slightly different skill set from your average killer, as I see it.{S}
 Debilitate your foe, either by poison or by crippling their limbs, makes any follow-up combat you need to engage in that much simpler.{S}
 Getting paid for the act is beside the point.{S}
 Then I do not imagine an assassin's life would be one for you. <emp>I</emp> do.{S}
 So let us just keep this between you and me, shall we, hmm?{S}
 Within the Crows, I did.{S}
 But it has been something the Crows have devoted a great deal of time to perfecting.{S}
 Can you teach others to be an assassin?{S}
 And what if I ordered you to do it?{S}
 What does it take to become an assassin?{S}
 So you have to be a murderer.{S}
 It does not take any special skill?{S}
 You always use poison, then?{S}
 You did quite well, no doubt.{S}
 To the beginning of the origin story.{S}
 So the choice is made for me after all.{S}
 I think we can... work something out.{S}
 We must slip past this crowd to reach it.{S}
 We will have to be very careful: Arl Howe is inside.{S}
 Do you not see the angry workmen there?{S}
 I think it will be some time before even Rendon Howe can use his front door, no?{S}
 The new arl, he has not been very prompt in paying his workmen.{S}
 Start over.{S}
 Your clan has passed this way many times before, and you are sure the forest holds no more secrets for you... or does it?{S}
 You found the cave the humans were blithering about.{S}
 What school of magic does this spell belong to?{S}
 You will have to excuse us, but we are not authorized to share the secrets of our Circle with outsiders.{S}
 And you would spend the legendary magic of the Imperium on lowly slum-dwellers in Ferelden.{S}
 It is hardly in our best interests to allow a plague to grow anywhere.{S}
 Go celebrate, or whatever you have to do.{S}
 I got nothing to say to you.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 Can you hold for a moment?{S}
 You have abandoned the village.{S}
 Abandon Redcliffe.{S}
 When all this is over, we are going to get very drunk.{S}
 That is how it is done.{S}
 Need help.{S}
 I will hold you to it.{S}
 Listen: do you hear that, Cousin?{S}
 Best thing I have heard in ages.{S}
 For that, I should go make you my special Denerim-rabbit stew.{S}
 Really, you have been away too long if that does not sound delicious.{S}
 The one you make from rats?{S}
 Oh, do not trouble yourself on my account.{S}
 Please hold on for a moment.{S}
 Take that, you fool!{S}
 I have mastered the arts before you were even born.{S}
 If you have a moment.{S}
 Do not mettle in my affairs, child.{S}
 You chosen your demise, not I.{S}
 You could try telling them they are in the wrong place.{S}
 We would barely got the house in order, and he is gone. <desc>Sigh</desc>{S}
 His lordship has gone on to Redcliffe. <desc>Sigh</desc> This is all so unsettled.{S}
 The arl has gone back to Redcliffe... <desc>Sigh</desc> It is going to be so dull around here again. <emp>Win the Provings in Harrowmont's name and find out why his fighters dropped out</emp>{S}
 Lord Harrowmont will not see you in person until you prove yourself trustworthy.{S}
 There is a Proving being held today, but most of Lord Harrowmont's men have dropped out of the fights for undisclosed reasons.{S}
 Dulin Forender wants you to fight in Harrowmont's name.{S}
 It would also help if you could find out why Harrowmont's fighters dropped out.{S}
 You fought in the Provings as Harrowmont's champion, and showed all of Orzammar where your loyalties lie. <emp>Speak with Dulin when you are ready to fight in Harrowmont's name</emp>{S}
 Dulin Forender wants you to fight in the Provings in Harrowmont's name.{S}
 You should speak to Dulin when you are ready to do what he has asked.{S}
 Dulin Forender wanted you to fight in the Provings in Harrowmont's name, but you failed to do so.{S}
 Dulin Forender wanted you to fight the Provings in Harrowmont's name, but you refused his request.{S}
 Meet his representative, Dulin Forender, in Tapsters Tavern to tell him the good news.{S}
 You decided not to help Redcliffe, and the village fell to the creatures that emerged from the castle. <emp>Put a stop to Jarvia and her carta</emp>{S}
 Lord Harrowmont wants you to put a stop to Jarvia and her criminal carta.{S}
 No one knows where Jarvia's hideout is, but you should be able to find clues to her whereabouts in Dust Town.{S}
 Harrowmont was pleased with your success with Jarvia and her carta. <emp>Speak to Harrowmont when you are ready to deal with the carta</emp>{S}
 Lord Harrowmont wants you to put a stop to Jarvia and her criminal carta.{S}
 You should speak to him again when you am ready to get going.{S}
 You failed to put a stop to Jarvia and her criminal carta.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont wanted you to put a stop to Jarvia and her criminal carta.{S}
 You killed Jarvia and got rid of most of her thugs.{S}
 A Lord's Trust: The Second Task <emp>Find Paragon Branka for Lord Harrowmont</emp>{S}
 Lord Harrowmont wants you to venture into the Deep Roads and locate Branka, the Paragon smith, who has been missing for two years.{S}
 You should start there.{S}
 You have made Lord Pyral Harrowmont the king of Orzammar.{S}
 King Harrowmont wears the Paragon's crown, and has the favor of the ancestors.{S}
 None may challenge his reign. <emp>Decide if you will help Harrowmont find Branka and inform him of your intent</emp>{S}
 Lord Harrowmont wants you to venture into the Deep Roads and locate Branka, the Paragon smith, who has been missing for two years.{S}
 You said you need time to consider this.{S}
 You found Branka, but in the end betrayed Harrowmont.{S}
 You have returned to Redcliffe, only to find it a ghost town.{S}
 The attack on the village must not have gone well.{S}
 There may still be some survivors in the village, however. <emp>Eliminate Jarvia and find evidence linking Bhelen to Prince Trian's assassination</emp>{S}
 You are to eliminate Jarvia as Prince Bhelen has asked.{S}
 Dulin Forender believes that Bhelen may have been behind the assassination of Prince Trian Aeducan.{S}
 Dulin was pleased with the evidence you found and Lord Harrowmont has consented to speak with you in person.{S}
 You failed to find the evidence that Dulin Forender needed. <emp>Find evidence linking Bhelen to the assassination of Prince Trian</emp>{S}
 Now you should search for clues to prove that Bhelen had something to do with Prince Trian Aeducan's death.{S}
 You found evidence that proves that Bhelen was instrumental in the assassination of his brother.{S}
 Jump to the start of plot.{S}
 Hold on.{S}
 C-Captain Phereson will find out if anything bad happens to me.{S}
 Hold together, we can take 'em.{S}
 For those that have fallen!{S}
 I got one of 'em!{S}
 I can not keep going.{S}
 We did not trek halfway across the kingdom to die here!{S}
 Open travel for castle redcliffe (opens after being brough to Teagan in the village){S}
 Get the others now.{S}
 Looks like we have some lively ones here.{S}
 More loot for the taking!{S}
 Hold on there.{S}
 I do not suppose you have a moment?{S}
 A have fought a hundred battles, you will fall before me.{S}
 Hold the line!{S}
 Hold!{S}
 That will never work.{S}
 Do not cross me, child.{S}
 Hold together, and we will slaughter them!{S}
 Hold, please.{S}
 Hold on there, hold!{S}
 Do not.{S}
 Just do not.{S}
 Do not approach.{S}
 Maybe you should bring a few more friends to even the odds.{S}
 I do not suppose anyone would be willing to help?{S}
 My pardon, you have seemed to fall on my sword.{S}
 Taking a rest, are you?{S}
 I... uhh... have been meaning to ask someone.{S}
 You have my thanks and then some!{S}
 We should do that then.{S}
 Threats never seem to work, anyhow.{S}
 What did you do, forget someone's naming day?{S}
 Brothers, I need help.{S}
 And so it is done!{S}
 Your evil ends here.{S}
 We do not agree with that.{S}
 Do not move another inch.{S}
 Get thee gone.{S}
 I am a mage, idiot, do not tempt me.{S}
 Blast it, I need help.{S}
 Let me see what they have on them.{S}
 We have faced far worse than you.{S}
 Could use... a little help here.{S}
 Your weapons make me laugh!{S}
 I could've joined a circus, you know.{S}
 I get the ones in the middle!{S}
 Sod-eating rodents!{S}
 How is she doing?{S}
 I am sure she will be all right, in the end.{S}
 I made it, I can not believe it!{S}
 Make it quick.{S}
 How many times do I have to say no?!{S}
 Do not go anywhere.{S}
 I have done it!{S}
 Let us talk.{S}
 I bring greetings.{S}
 I... do have other places to be.{S}
 You have done a good thing here!{S}
 Have you smelled my scented oils?{S}
 I have been here for hours and hours.{S}
 Will none of you barbarians buy some flowers?!{S}
 Perhaps something else will work better?{S}
 So... you planning on buying anything?{S}
 Well done, well done!{S}
 Sadly, that will not work for me.{S}
 Your infernal meddling ends here!{S}
 Yes, yes that will do.{S}
 Do not move if you value your life.{S}
 I need assistance.{S}
 We will make your death extra painful!{S}
 You have been doing that for hours, and you haven't learned a blasted thing.{S}
 I could take you alone, I could.{S}
 Take... uhh... that?{S}
 I do not think he is going to ever let us stop.{S}
 I have something to say.{S}
 We will... uhh... get you.{S}
 I... got one?{S}
 I have been training for fighting for months.{S}
 You do not scare me.{S}
 I have been campaigning with the captain for years.{S}
 You do not frighten me.{S}
 Works for me.{S}
 Do not move an inch.{S}
 Get gone.{S}
 That will not work.{S}
 Nice to meet you!{S}
 I keep a clean inn, I would have you know. *grumble*{S}
 I do not mind saying it, I owe you for that.{S}
 Yes, that will work.{S}
 Could I ask you to hold for a moment?{S}
 It sounds like it needs a little more thought, but you would know better than I.{S}
 Do excuse my mistress.{S}
 We will not forget what you have done for us.{S}
 That will definitely work.{S}
 Maybe something else will work better?{S}
 I will take you with me, bastard.{S}
 Your friend has fallen.{S}
 The Crows have claimed another victim.{S}
 I take my leave.{S}
 I give you one chance.{S}
 Choose your words carefully.{S}
 Get me out of this dung heap!{S}
 That is what I am paying you for!{S}
 And that is what you get!{S}
 Do not even think about leaving, knife-ears.{S}
 I have got my eyes on you.{S}
 Well, we made it.{S}
 That will never work.{S}
 Do not even think about it.{S}
 Get me out of this blasted, backwater slag-pit!{S}
 Just let us live!{S}
 I got one!{S}
 She is going to get us killed one day.{S}
 You know that, do not you?{S}
 We owe you our lives!{S}
 You were just getting to the good part, too.{S}
 See, this is why warriors make bad merchants.{S}
 I wondered what they did to you after Trian died.{S}
 What are you doing here?{S}
 It is what warriors do.{S}
 But do not let me distract you from hawking your junk. <emp>You are</emp> fighting?{S}
 What army would have you? <desc>laughs</desc> The Grey Wardens.{S}
 Needed someone with my skills to handle this Blight. <desc>Snorts</desc> And I have got a tower in Orzammar to sell you.{S}
 Speaking of which, I have dwarven steel for sale.{S}
 The influx of darkspawn have caused all refugees to flee, making the lesser health poultices unnecessary.{S}
 The darkspawn invasion of Lothering has destroyed any chances of locating the orphan's mother.{S}
 A few poison traps are not going to stop the horde of darkspawn that has attacked Lothering and its surrounding areas.{S}
 A few traps will no longer make a difference in the completely overrun town of Lothering.{S}
 Do not dawdle.{S}
 I will not let these humans abuse us.{S}
 I have shamed my ancestors.{S}
 Fine, keep the Anvil if it means so much to you.{S}
 Just remember to keep your end of the bargain.{S}
 That is why they are willing to pay attention to this stupid rumor!{S}
 You just do not listen, do you?{S}
 Zathrian agreed to speak with the Lady, and you brought him to her.{S}
 Here, take this amulet.{S}
 I do not hear anything.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Well, maybe... if you had forty sovereigns you are willing to part with...{S}
 They must have food at the tower.{S}
 Let us go together!{S}
 What does that have to do with anything?{S}
 He did not need more.{S}
 Where'd you get those?{S}
 That redhead there at the back... she does not need to go to the tower, does she?{S}
 Because it gets a little lonely out here sometimes... and you know, you could just leave her with me--{S}
 And I am not interested in anything you have to offer.{S}
 I have never met a poetess...{S}
 I have been hoping for new prey.{S}
 Yes, let us go.{S}
 He does not abide that sort of talk...{S}
 'Twill take but a moment.{S}
 Perhaps you should go aboard the vessel to prepare while we are away.{S}
 I fear the lad will no longer have the use of his limbs... or his eyes, once I am done with him.{S}
 Oh, that will make the loving all the sweeter.{S}
 So you said you wanted to get across?{S}
 You... why would you do that?{S}
 Why would you do that?{S}
 Did you take a blow to the head?{S}
 I hope Eamon does not expect me to give a speech.{S}
 Maker, he probably does, does not he? <desc>Groans</desc>{S}
 You know, there is something about being trapped in a fortress full of people who want me dead that makes me think... being a templar might not have been so bad.{S}
 She has a nasty glare.{S}
 Did anyone mention this wasn't my idea?{S}
 Making laws, settling disputes, that is not me.{S}
 I would not have the first idea how to do it.{S}
 What ever would give you that idea?{S}
 What do you think I should do?{S}
 Just let it happen?{S}
 That is what I keep hearing.{S}
 I never met my father.{S}
 I understand he did all right as king.{S}
 I bet there is a whole new wardrobe that comes as part of the deal.{S}
 I love the way you try so hard.{S}
 About all I have got going for me is I can fight in formation and I know the Chant of Light backwards and forwards.{S}
 It is just that everything I have heard about Queen Anora is that she is the one who really ruled here, not Cailan.{S}
 I will do my best!"{S}
 You still do not want to be king?{S}
 You have a kind heart and a strong sense of justice.{S}
 Power makes men incredibly attractive.{S}
 I was just trying to make you feel better.{S}
 Do you think you could back out?{S}
 You found a Grey Warden, Riordan, trapped in a torture room.{S}
 Find Arl Howe, and get him to release the queen.{S}
 Why are you doing this?{S}
 Why bring them here if all you were going to do is hurt him?!{S}
 No, that will take too much time.{S}
 Let it suffice to say that we had something of a revolt on our hands, led by a mage named Uldred.{S}
 When he returned from the battle at Ostagar, he tried to take over the Circle.{S}
 As you can see, it did not work out as he had planned.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 But they needed to know the truth about Loghain.{S}
 What is done is done.{S}
 Let us see if we can put things right.{S}
 Do you regret telling Irving about Loghain?{S}
 You found the queen, but she seems to be trapped in her room by some kind of magic.{S}
 She says that Howe has been able to enter and leave at will, so he must have some answers.{S}
 Find Arl Howe, and get him to release the queen.{S}
 I will have to keep trying her.{S}
 Abandoned Meadow{S}
 What in the name of Andraste's Sanctified Girdle is going on here?{S}
 Hey, we have got a prisoner loose!{S}
 Maker's breath, I should've been made a corporal by now.{S}
 The commander will skin us both if he finds any rust.{S}
 Wait a minute... you are that Grey Warden they just brought in!{S}
 Only had it a month, and already this armor does not fit... got to lay off the mince pie...{S}
 We have got an intruder!{S}
 But you are to make yourself comfortable, you hear?{S}
 I do not care if their household <emp>is</emp> ten times the size of ours, they are visitors here!{S}
 His lordship did not bring Lady Isolde with him.{S}
 Denoel is like to have a fit.{S}
 Arl Eamon needs to show up without notice more often.{S}
 I did not think much of her dress, to tell the truth.{S}
 But she brought no finery!{S}
 Why does Nigella get to wait on the queen?{S}
 I have been here longer!{S}
 I heard her Highness has a temper like a nest of rabid wolverines.{S}
 I can not believe the arl only gave her Highness that tiny room!{S}
 If they keep tracking mud up here, it is going to take a month to get it all out!{S}
 Maker, give us strength.{S}
 You need to move the bookcase before using this artifact.{S}
 Your efforts are no doubt better spent elsewhere.{S}
 What do you wish to know?{S}
 There will be no one who can remain behind to help keep the gates sealed, but that is simply how it must be.{S}
 Anyone else will need to remain here and assist in keeping more darkspawn from coming in the gates behind us.{S}
 Who will lead them?{S}
 I would be better suited fighting the archdemon, but I will do as you wish.{S}
 As if I needed anyone else to help block the path... but have it your way.{S}
 Then I will do it.{S}
 Then I will do it.{S}
 Then I shall do it.{S}
 Then by all means, let me.{S}
 Then I suppose I will do it.{S}
 Allow me, since I am remaining behind anyhow.{S}
 Then I suppose I can do it.{S}
 Now, who do you wish to take with you into the city?{S}
 Alistair can do that.{S}
 Loghain can do that.{S}
 It does not matter to me.{S}
 I am going to make you bleed, duster.{S}
 Take that, worm!{S}
 You have bitten off more than you can chew, duster!{S}
 I... do not want to die here.{S}
 We need to get more girls in this place.{S}
 You have what?{S}
 How did you get...?{S}
 No, I do not want to know.{S}
 Alas, traveler, I must confess I have not the skill.{S}
 Why, oh Maker, do you torment me?{S}
 If you find drake scales, ser, and if I could practice then--one day, --I could make a fine set of armor for you.{S}
 He does get terribly emotional at times.{S}
 Master Wade cannot make your armor, friend.{S}
 Perhaps if you find drake scales he could practice?{S}
 Oh, dragon scale, how I would <emp>love</emp> to work with you.{S}
 But you saw the quality of the last set.{S}
 Please, bring more drake scale so I can redeem myself.{S}
 Can you make dragon scale armor?{S}
 You just do not know when to quit--{S}
 Today, I make dragon scale armor!{S}
 Now, I have dreamed of what I would do every night.{S}
 It will be the work of hours.{S}
 I could make a lighter set of dragonskin armor, heavy dragonscale armor, or dragonbone plate.{S}
 Now do not move.{S}
 My life's work, that is.{S}
 You did it so... fast?{S}
 Of course, Herren, have some faith.{S}
 I need a sabbatical.{S}
 You have cost our shop a great deal of customers.{S}
 Actually, I have some dragon scales.{S}
 How long will it take?{S}
 What can you make with it?{S}
 Is it still free?{S}
 Set me up with the dragonskin.{S}
 The strongest armor you can make: the dragonbone plate.{S}
 I can not wait to tell the guild what I made, ho!{S}
 I could use some help!{S}
 It is making me antsy.{S}
 Ancestors have mercy!{S}
 I do not think that is wise.{S}
 I will defend myself if I have to!{S}
 Get away from me, you thugs!{S}
 Beraht will not get away with this!{S}
 What is Beraht going to do then?{S}
 They would remain a threat in the years to come, but the Blight had been ended before it had truly begun.{S}
 Ferelden had been saved, and the entire kingdom rose up to joyously greet its new king.{S}
 Ferelden had been saved, and the entire kingdom rose up to joyously greet its queen.{S}
 Ferelden had been saved, and the entire kingdom rose up to joyously greet its new king and queen.{S}
 The Grey Wardens stood redeemed, and a new age had begun.{S}
 I am going to make you hurt!{S}
 I need help!{S}
 There is going to be nothing left of you when I am done.{S}
 We could do that.{S}
 You picked a fight with the wrong man!{S}
 That is the way to do it!{S}
 Do not move.{S}
 Anyone want to play cards?{S}
 Do not worry, the pain will stop when you are dead.{S}
 It can not end like this!{S}
 When do we get some fun around here?{S}
 Going to make you wish you were dead.{S}
 You learned that Jowan was really a blood mage, though he had denied it.{S}
 Knight-Commander Greagoir seemed eager to punish you for your part in Jowan's escape, but the Grey Warden Duncan stepped in and recruited you to his order.{S}
 You have entered the Fade--the dream world--armed with nothing more than your wits and your will.{S}
 Here you must confront a demon that seeks to destroy you and possess your body.{S}
 You are now part of the Circle of Magi, having survived the Harrowing.{S}
 While you have something to celebrate, it seems that your friend Jowan fears that the Circle has other plans for him--the Rite of Tranquility, which will sever his link to the Fade, destroying his aptitude for magic and his ability to feel emotions.{S}
 I do not have anything for the likes of you.{S}
 He may even name him successor at the Assembly.{S}
 Get lost, brand.{S}
 I have no coin to give you.{S}
 Look at them, living on charity while the rest of us have to work an honest living.{S}
 Keep your gaze on the floor, casteless!{S}
 I do not need your bad luck rubbing off on me.{S}
 Ugh, do not touch me!{S}
 Ademaro's getting in a surface shipment.{S}
 Those men will get what is coming to them.{S}
 You go get those girls.{S}
 He will know what to do.{S}
 I-I do not want any trouble.{S}
 You just keep to yourself, brand.{S}
 Did not know they let your type in here.{S}
 I do not know what that was about and I do not want to know.{S}
 After I get good and drunk.{S}
 I did not know that fellow at all!{S}
 Get away from me, you freak!{S}
 I did not see anything!{S}
 They say the Warrior Caste is hosting a Proving so the Grey Wardens can look for candidates.{S}
 Another round of moss-wine and whatever you have on the fire, thanks.{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 Do you mind?{S}
 I should know; I used to serve that!{S}
 Next time I see you, Everd, you will be wearing a Warden's cloak.{S}
 Did you see that first bout?{S}
 Adalbo still has the ancestors' favor.{S}
 I made it to third showing in one of these.{S}
 This Proving will demonstrate who has the prowess to be the next Grey Warden.{S}
 Stone met, Everd.{S}
 We are having an after-Proving banquet at my place.{S}
 Join us if you can.{S}
 Did you see those humans?{S}
 Do they have anything to eat around here?{S}
 Have you met the Grey Wardens, Everd?{S}
 Do not look at the fighters, brand!{S}
 My boy needs medicine.{S}
 Do not look at me like that!{S}
 Who the dust do you think you are?{S}
 I do not need no sodding help from some jumped-up face-brand carta thug.{S}
 Who needs the Paragon Branka when you have got all this?{S}
 Care to try a taste of this?{S}
 He wore violet silk and he smelled like fresh water.{S}
 You got any food on you?{S}
 It does not matter what you are born.{S}
 You think I do not know who you work for?{S}
 I-I can work.{S}
 Did not know this corner was yours.{S}
 Hey, gorgeous, you looking for something to keep you warm tonight?{S}
 You got some coin?{S}
 I will do anything. <emp>Anything.</emp>{S}
 Spectator <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 You have learned that the cause of all this trouble is Eamon's young son, Connor, who unwittingly made a pact with a demon and became an abomination.{S}
 My friends, we are gathered here to pay our respects to the Grey Warden that saved us all.{S}
 She gave her life to destroy the Blight, a sacrifice we must never forget.{S}
 She put me on this throne, and showed me how important it was I be here.{S}
 She even put me on this throne, despite my protests.{S}
 He gave his life to destroy the Blight, a sacrifice we must never forget.{S}
 He put me on this throne, and showed me how important it was I be here.{S}
 He even put me on this throne, despite my protests.{S}
 He did not choose to be a Grey Warden, but still he went to his death willingly.{S}
 How do you properly honor someone like that?{S}
 The Grey Wardens are building a magnificent tomb at Weisshaupt, right next to Garahel's, but I would like to do something as well.{S}
 We were very pleased to discover you alive.{S}
 Your sister thought you had died at Ostagar.{S}
 I only wish I had recovered from my wounds sooner.{S}
 I would like to give Amaranthine to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Let all know that the arling of Amaranthine, once the land of Arl Howe, is now granted to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 We were very pleased to discover you alive.{S}
 Your brother thought you had died at Ostagar.{S}
 Well-played for one so young.{S}
 You know, your name has been mentioned in the Assembly.{S}
 Well, it seems Lord Dace got what he wanted out of you.{S}
 I know you will do House Aeducan proud.{S}
 Well-played with young Bruntin.{S}
 Get back to Dust Town where you belong, brand, or I will throw you in the Deep Roads as a snack for the stalkers.{S}
 No... no, do not hurt me!{S}
 Orzammar thanks you for what you have done.{S}
 We are honored to serve you, Grey Warden.{S}
 Keep your hands to yourself, brand.{S}
 Long may he rule!{S}
 Long may he rule!{S}
 If only King Endrin could have lived to see you return.{S}
 What better excuse to get sodding drunk?{S}
 Darkspawn attacks have been really light this year.{S}
 There is an ale out there with my name on it!{S}
 Saw you in the Proving.{S}
 House Aeducan will rule forever!{S}
 I think we should get free ale to celebrate the new king!{S}
 May he get fat and lazy.{S}
 Grey Warden or no, keep your nose out of Orzammar business.{S}
 When did that happen?{S}
 Have a drink.{S}
 I hope they have a nug on the fire.{S}
 This ale is perfect with a slow-roasted nug-let.{S}
 Hold on.{S}
 We have a bit of stew on the fire.{S}
 Do you accept students?{S}
 Harrowmont's men are going to get their beards handed to them.{S}
 Would not it be great if Bhelen fought Harrowmont in a Proving for the throne?{S}
 Did you see that last fight?{S}
 Did you hear about that brand that wore a disguise and fought in the Provings?{S}
 The ancestors have spoken!{S}
 Will King Harrowmont hold an inaugural Proving?{S}
 They say Darvianak Vollney killed his own brother, then went free by winning a Proving.{S}
 We should hold a Proving to celebrate!{S}
 It is an honor to House Aeducan to have a kinsman in the Wardens.{S}
 The prince values your support, Warden.{S}
 House Aeducan owes you for your service.{S}
 What you did to Trian was unforgivable.{S}
 As long as Rica is here, you have a home in House Aeducan.{S}
 Your name will not be forgotten.{S}
 You have some gall to come here, exile.{S}
 King Bhelen owes you his thanks.{S}
 What you did was unforgivable.{S}
 We are honored to have you here.{S}
 We thank you for what you have done for Orzammar.{S}
 You should have been the eldest.{S}
 Thank you for having faith in House Harrowmont.{S}
 It is sad that Endrin did not get to see you before he died.{S}
 House Harrowmont owes you everything.{S}
 Even Bhelen's father rejected him in the end.{S}
 You will always have a place in King Bhelen's court.{S}
 Harrowmont will pay for his crimes.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont will die, Warden, and you will join him.{S}
 You have destroyed Orzammar to serve your own ends!{S}
 Do not worry, Warden.{S}
 We will get the usurper!{S}
 I can not believe Harrowmont would try to cheat a family as old as the Daces.{S}
 Prince Bhelen would never go back on a deal.{S}
 Prince Bhelen still has my vote.{S}
 I do not know why the ancestors would give the Proving to Harrowmont.{S}
 You have no place in this hall, exile.{S}
 The Aeducans have held the throne for generations.{S}
 Get this face-brand out of the Assembly!{S}
 He has my vote.{S}
 The prince is glad to have you on his side.{S}
 When I heard what Harrowmont did to the Helmis... he lost my vote.{S}
 I would never let a single Proving affect my vote.{S}
 I was going to vote for Bhelen, but after your victory in the Proving, I am not so sure.{S}
 Do not worry, Warden.{S}
 We will put down this rebellion.{S}
 Bhelen's soldiers are holding my wife hostage for my good behavior.{S}
 Congratulations on the Proving, Warden.{S}
 How could anyone support Bhelen?{S}
 I was a loyal subject to Endrin and I will be loyal to his chosen heir.{S}
 Does not know when he is lost.{S}
 Bhelen threatened to kill my sons if I do not support him.{S}
 You have destroyed Orzammar to serve your own ends.{S}
 Bhelen could not even field a Proving.{S}
 Lord Harrowmont still has my vote.{S}
 What is one of <emp>those</emp> doing in here?{S}
 My family has owed the Harrowmonts for generations.{S}
 Harrowmont will always have my vote.{S}
 You would do well to support Lord Harrowmont, Warden.{S}
 We should get going.{S}
 Why could not I have been born a smith...?{S}
 I have never seen deepstalkers so fierce.{S}
 We need to mount another assault, to recover Imaldan's body.{S}
 I do not know what I will tell his mother.{S}
 That thing almost had me.{S}
 Did not Beraht give you a job to do?{S}
 I do not have anything you can afford.{S}
 You have entered the city of Orzammar, which is in turmoil.{S}
 You are working for Dulin Forender, a representative of Lord Pyral Harrowmont.{S}
 Dulin has you doing tasks that will further Lord Harrowmont's cause.{S}
 You have been asked to fight as Lord Harrowmont's champion in the Provings.{S}
 Winning the Provings in Harrowmont's name will increase his popularity, and help him in his bid for the throne.{S}
 You convinced the Paragon Branka to destroy the Anvil of the Void, and she took her own life in the process.{S}
 Before she died, Branka forged a crown for you to take to the new king of Orzammar.{S}
 The Paragon's crown gave you the power to choose Prince Bhelen Aeducan as Orzammar's next king.{S}
 In return, King Bhelen has promised that Orzammar will aid you against the Blight.{S}
 That does not sound too bad.{S}
 Proving Fan{S}
 If Bhelen becomes king, he will have us push forward.{S}
 Do you think we might retake some ground?{S}
 We need to take advantage of this time to carve out new fortifications.{S}
 Gives us time to settle the throne.{S}
 The Legion is doing it is job.{S}
 I hear the surfacers actually thought darkspawn have been gone for centuries.{S}
 Do not they know anything?{S}
 Another time, then. <emp>Make sure Everd wins the Provings</emp>{S}
 It is time to put on Everd's armor and win the Provings.{S}
 Let us just move onto the blasted main event, already!{S}
 Do you have a preference?{S}
 Oghren has led men into battle before.{S}
 One of my other companions will lead.{S}
 You are working for Vartag Gavorn, a representative of Prince Bhelen Aeducan.{S}
 Vartag has you doing tasks that will further Prince Bhelen's cause.{S}
 You have been told to convince several prominent nobles of Lord Harrowmont's cheating ways.{S}
 If you succeed, they will no longer support Harrowmont's bid for the throne.{S}
 You are working for Prince Bhelen Aeducan in the city of Orzammar.{S}
 You are to venture into the slums of Orzammar to put an end to the criminal carta.{S}
 To prove your worth to Vartag Gavorn and to gain Prince Bhelen Aeducan's trust, you have decided to double-cross Lord Harrowmont and destroy his campaign from the inside.{S}
 You are working for Lord Harrowmont in the city of Orzammar.{S}
 You are to venture into the slums of Orzammar to put an end to the criminal carta.{S}
 To prove your worth to Dulin Forender and to gain Lord Harrowmont's trust, you have decided to double-cross Prince Bhelen and destroy his campaign from the inside.{S}
 Prince Bhelen Aeducan has requested that you go into the Deep Roads in search of Paragon Branka.{S}
 A Paragon's vote is worth more than any number of votes in the Assembly and Bhelen hopes that Branka will return and choose him as the next king.{S}
 Your journey into the Deep Roads will take you to Caridin's Cross, Branka's last known location.{S}
 Lord Pyral Harrowmont has requested that you go into the Deep Roads in search of Paragon Branka.{S}
 A Paragon's vote is worth more than any number of votes in the Assembly and Harrowmont hopes that Branka will return and choose him as the next king.{S}
 Your journey into the Deep Roads will take you to Caridin's Cross, Branka's last known location.{S}
 Both Prince Bhelen and Lord Harrowmont have requested that you go into the Deep Roads in search of Paragon Branka.{S}
 A Paragon's vote is worth more than any number of votes in the Assembly and they both hope that Branka will choose them to be the next king.{S}
 Your journey into the Deep Roads will take you to Caridin's Cross, Branka's last known location..{S}
 After finding Branka's journal in Ortan Thaig, you learned that she was trying to recover the lost Anvil of the Void.{S}
 You defeated Branka and helped Caridin destroy the Anvil of the Void, freeing him in the process.{S}
 Caridin forged a crown for you to take to the new king of Orzammar.{S}
 You found Branka deep in the Dead Trenches, past the lost fortress of Bownammar.{S}
 It seems her search for the Anvil of the Void has utterly consumed her and driven her mad.{S}
 Branka has locked you in a room full of vicious traps that she has been unable to bypass herself.{S}
 She did not choose to be a Grey Warden, but she still went to her death willingly.{S}
 How do you properly honor someone like that?{S}
 The Grey Wardens could not have asked for anyone finer.{S}
 How do you properly honor someone like that?{S}
 I understand that the king has asked for the body to be sent back to Orzammar?{S}
 I have spoken with your king.{S}
 Ferelden will be sending men to help keep the darkspawn at bay.{S}
 I understand the king has asked for the body to be returned to Orzammar?{S}
 Not burned, like you humans do it.{S}
 My son will have his own clan one day.{S}
 We had some difficulty finding you.{S}
 Help has been... slow to arrive.{S}
 The Alienage will have its own ruler, who speaks in the Landsmeet as an equal.{S}
 My lord, I... do not know what to say!{S}
 I will admit that I am uncertain why you brought us here.{S}
 We have already grieved, in our own way.{S}
 And while I know my people cannot truly make up for what we have done to yours, I was hoping to start.{S}
 I know it is not the Dales, and there will be much to work out, but I was hoping...{S}
 Let us try to do it right this time, shall we?{S}
 You are working for both Vartag Gavorn and Dulin Forender, men who represent Prince Bhelen and Lord Harrowmont respectively.{S}
 You probably will not be able to play both sides for very long.{S}
 You found Branka deep in the Dead Trenches, past the lost fortress of Bownammar.{S}
 It seems her search for the Anvil of the Void has utterly consumed her and driven her mad.{S}
 Urged on by the Paragon Branka, you destroyed Caridin--creator of the Anvil of the Void--and Branka has claimed the Anvil for herself.{S}
 She forged a crown for you to take to the new king of Orzammar.{S}
 The paragon's crown gave you the power to choose Lord Pyral Harrowmont as Orzammar's next king.{S}
 In return, King Harrowmont has promised that Orzammar will aid you against the Blight.{S}
 Friends, let us hope that she has gone on to a better place and that she knows just how thankful we are for what she has done here.{S}
 We have found a few surviving apprentices, but effectively the Circle has been destroyed... unfortunate, but necessary.{S}
 Under control, though the Circle has been greatly weakened.{S}
 Still, there have been no further possessions.{S}
 That being the case, I wish a new tower built--with the Chantry's aid.{S}
 And it will bear the Hero's name.{S}
 And once the tower is built, Knight-Commander, I am granting the new Circle autonomy.{S}
 I think what has happened only proves--!{S}
 It proves what a substantial contribution a mage can make.{S}
 They have earned the chance to prove they can watch themselves, do not you agree?{S}
 She was special, and each of us has had our life touched by her in some way.{S}
 It was her word that put me on the throne, even though she barely knew me.{S}
 How does one properly honor a woman like that?{S}
 The Grey Wardens could not have asked for anyone finer.{S}
 How does one properly honor someone like that?{S}
 The Grey Wardens are building a magnificent tomb at Weisshaupt, next to that of Garahel, but I believe more is required.{S}
 We were very pleased to discover you alive.{S}
 You were thought to have been killed at Ostagar.{S}
 Friends, let us hope that he has gone on to a better place and that he knows just how thankful we are for what he has done here.{S}
 I am told that the king has asked for the body to be sent back to Orzammar?{S}
 Well, no disrespect meant but we do not burn our dead.{S}
 I have spoken with your king.{S}
 Ferelden will be sending men to help keep the darkspawn at bay.{S}
 My son will have his own clan one day.{S}
 I have decided that the Alienage will have its own ruler, someone to speak in the Landsmeet as an equal.{S}
 My lady, I... do not know what to say!{S}
 As it is, it is just a start.{S}
 As it is, it is just a start.{S}
 It is good to finally meet you.{S}
 We had some difficulty finding your clan in time.{S}
 And while I know there is nothing my people can truly do to make up for what we have done to yours, I was hoping to start.{S}
 I hereby offer your people the hinterlands north of the Korcari Wilds, including Ostagar.{S}
 To do with as you will.{S}
 You would... give us our own land?{S}
 I know it is not the Dales, and there will be much to work out, but I was hoping...{S}
 I look forward to providing the rest of my people a shining example of how elves and humans should co-exist.{S}
 We have found a few surviving apprentices, but effectively the Circle has been destroyed.{S}
 And once the tower is built, Knight Commander, I am granting the new Circle autonomy.{S}
 It proves what a substantial contribution a mage can make.{S}
 They have earned the opportunity to prove that they can watch themselves, Knight-Commander, do not you agree?{S}
 He gave his life to destroy the Blight, and that is a sacrifice we must never forget.{S}
 He was special, and each of us has had our life touched by him in some way.{S}
 It was his word that put me on the throne, even though he barely knew me.{S}
 How does one properly honor a man like that?{S}
 You found Ruck in the lost dwarven thaigs of the Deep Roads.{S}
 He survived for years scavenging from the ruins and eating the dead darkspawn that litter the place.{S}
 You put him out of his misery.{S}
 You told Filda that you found no sign of Ruck.{S}
 You found Ruck in the lost dwarven thaigs of the Deep Roads.{S}
 He survived for years scavenging from the ruins and eating the dead darkspawn that litter the place.{S}
 He does not want his mother, Filda, to know what is become of him and you promised not to tell her the truth.{S}
 So when I finally get the new men I request, I get the delightful surprise of discovering they are Lord Such-and-Such's illegitimate, untrained, moronic whelps.{S}
 So I have a legion of bastards to protect the market from pickpockets, stabbings, and what-not.{S}
 And Arl Howe's specially picked men are the worst of the lot.{S}
 With the bastards I just have to worry about dicing, the odd bit of drool, or yelling at them too loudly and hurting their poor feelings and then getting chewed out by their noble fathers.{S}
 Some of them <emp>are</emp> the criminals we have to arrest.{S}
 So if your lifeblood is not draining in the gutters as we speak, do not bother reporting it.{S}
 A Warden keeping order, tempering the undesirable element.{S}
 It might make people think about your order.{S}
 Plus, I will pay.{S}
 I must say, the sketch did not do you much justice.{S}
 Do not worry, even if I believed the "official story" of what happened at Ostagar, I am no fool.{S}
 Do not disturb the peace in the market and that is well enough for me.{S}
 How will being a bouncer help my cause?{S}
 Do not even try to arrest me.{S}
 I might have more work, if you are interested.{S}
 Whatever you do, just do not make things worse!{S}
 You want to do more?{S}
 I put a notice on the chanter's board.{S}
 The barkeep does not mind some blood--or "sport," as she called it.{S}
 Greagoir has sealed the door behind you, trapping you in the tower.{S}
 The one who led the final charge against the archdemon remains with us still, an inspiration to all she saved that day.{S}
 The one who led the final charge against the archdemon remains with us still, an inspiration to all he saved that day.{S}
 My friend, it is hard to imagine how you could have aided Ferelden more.{S}
 I suspect you will have plenty of opportunity to do that as queen, as my advisor at the very least.{S}
 Then I hereby appoint you chancellor, to serve as my advisor in the years to come.{S}
 Maker knows I will need it.{S}
 I think the teyrnir of Gwaren should serve nicely as your personal fiefdom... aside from, you know.{S}
 Let it be known, then, that the Circle has earned the right to watch over itself.{S}
 Highever itself is of course restored to your family... namely your brother Fergus, since he was found safe and sound near the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 The dwarves face the darkspawn every day, do not they?{S}
 Ferelden hereby offers its full military support to the new king of Orzammar, and will aid in reclaiming the Deep Roads.{S}
 The Alienage will hereby have its own ruler and its own laws.{S}
 Hopefully, this is only the beginning.{S}
 Then we shall have to track her down and give her the news.{S}
 But I am sure we can find someone willing.{S}
 My father, Loghain, the man who led Ferelden to freedom at the River Dane--gave his life for us and earned his redemption by slaying the archdemon.{S}
 Alistair, the son of King Maric and last of the Theirin bloodline, gave his life for us by slaying the mighty archdemon.{S}
 But the one who led the battle against the darkspawn thankfully remains with us still.{S}
 The one who led the charge against the archdemon and killed it remains with us still, an inspiration to all she saved that day.{S}
 The one who led the charge against the archdemon and killed it remains with us still, an inspiration to all he saved that day.{S}
 Grey Warden, it is hard to imagine how you could have aided Ferelden more.{S}
 As a reward and as an engagement present, I offer you a boon of your choice.{S}
 I wish to see my people treated fairly, for once.{S}
 I have no need of anything further.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I will have to think about it.{S}
 I only wish to continue to serve the crown, your Majesty.{S}
 I ask that the Circle of Magi be given its independence.{S}
 I ask that the Howes pay for what they did to my family.{S}
 We have won many battles.{S}
 We have good coin, and we are breaking none of your laws.{S}
 Causing a ruckus, they are.{S}
 The patrons do not mind a little sport of it. <desc>Laughs</desc> You are a good one, you are!{S}
 So long as we are paying, they are serving! <desc>Laughs</desc> <desc>Laughs</desc> You may have a point.{S}
 Let us find us some wenches!{S}
 Mmmm you may have point, there.{S}
 We will leave; we do not want trouble with nobles.{S}
 Make our lives hard?{S}
 Not such an easy thing to prove.{S}
 There have been complaints about you.{S}
 The docks has much better bars.{S}
 What exactly have they done?{S}
 For these great "crimes," what do you want done?{S}
 Oars, there are much better places to spend your coin.{S}
 And nobles can make your life hard.{S}
 I am going to have to ask you to leave.{S}
 Hundreds have died in my wake.{S}
 You had your chance. <act>Attack</act>{S}
 I have something for you.{S}
 The Market District is a whole sight better because of what you have done for us.{S}
 A lot of folk swallow whatever lies are fed to them, but us believers will try and spread word about you and the Wardens.{S}
 Edwina sends her thanks for getting rid of the Crimson Oars.{S}
 She got her sport, and she is as pleased as a swine in mud.{S}
 You have helped out a great deal.{S}
 Thanks for the help you have given.{S}
 Unfortunately, I have more headaches to deal with.{S}
 Well, maybe I can spare some men later to take care of this.{S}
 I took my vows to serve the Chantry, not sit idly by.{S}
 Why did they send you instead of someone more... healthy?{S}
 I suppose marrying me is all any girl would need. <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 Going to hold it over my head, huh?{S}
 I suspect you will have plenty of opportunity to do that as my consort, in whatever capacity you desire.{S}
 Then let it be known that I appoint you Chancellor, to serve as my advisor in the years to come.{S}
 My father's teyrnir in Gwaren stands empty, as does his estate, and I gladly pass both onto you.{S}
 I doubt the Chantry will agree, but you have an excellent point.{S}
 Let it be known that Ferelden's mages have earned the right to watch over themselves.{S}
 Let it be known that the Howes are hereby stripped of their titles and fortune, and will be investigated as to their individual involvement in the Highever attack.{S}
 Highever itself is restored to your family... namely your brother Fergus, who was found safe and sound near the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 My people seem to forget the plight of yours all too easily, do we not?{S}
 Let it be known that Ferelden hereby offers its full military support to the new king of Orzammar, and will aid in reclaiming the parts of the Deep Roads it has lost.{S}
 Let it be known that the Alienage will now have its own ruler and its own laws.{S}
 Let this be a new beginning for both our peoples.{S}
 Then we will have to track him down and give him the news.{S}
 Let it be known that the hinterlands to the north of the Korcari Wilds, including Ostagar, are hereby granted in their entirety to the Dalish elves.{S}
 It is rugged land, and there will be much for us to work out... but let us hope this is just a first step in our people working together.{S}
 We can begin with a monument here in Denerim dedicated to my father and all the other Grey Wardens who fell to save us.{S}
 We can begin with a monument here in Denerim dedicated to Alistair and all the other Grey Wardens who fell to save us.{S}
 I think we can begin with a monument here in Denerim, dedicated to the Grey Wardens who have fallen--Duncan, Riordan, all of them.{S}
 I think you could find someone more suitable.{S}
 We have an intruder!{S}
 I know not how you have survived thus far.{S}
 No matter, you will not survive... this!{S}
 Patterns like sunlight falling through leaves have been woven into this scarf.{S}
 Especially those that deal in weapons and armor.{S}
 Did you think I was joking?{S}
 If Howe's people find me, I will be killed.{S}
 And my people will insist on escorting me back to the palace... where my father may <emp>also</emp> have me killed.{S}
 They are at the end of the hall, on the left.{S}
 Well, I did not want to come right out and <emp>say</emp> it... but I am relieved you will be nearby.{S}
 That they do.{S}
 I do not suppose the Grey Wardens are really in a position to stop you, are they?{S}
 Then let me say I hope your travels bring you back this way soon.{S}
 Do not be a stranger.{S}
 And do not think I am not glad to hear that.{S}
 My impression was that she did not want to be found.{S}
 There is a group of Ferelden citizens waiting outside to get a look at their hero.{S}
 I suggest you make at least a brief appearance before they storm the gate. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Just tell the guard at the door when you are ready.{S}
 Let it also be known that the arling of Amaranthine, once the land of Arl Howe, is now granted to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Having you near at hand would be a great relief.{S}
 Then let me say I hope your travels bring you back this way soon.{S}
 My impression was that she did not want to be found.{S}
 Your skills are sorely needed.{S}
 There is a group of eager Fereldan citizens waiting outside to get a look at their hero.{S}
 I suggest you make at least a brief appearance before they storm the gate. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Just tell the guard at the door when you are ready.{S}
 The Grey Wardens need me.{S}
 I think you will need my help.{S}
 I will have my duties in the Alienage.{S}
 I intend to find Morrigan.{S}
 I do not know yet.{S}
 And after much sweat, blood, and toil, her labors ended.{S}
 And the world marveled at what she wrought.{S}
 I beg you, do not put my lady in danger for your revenge.{S}
 We must get her out first.{S}
 Good, I was hoping I would get a chance to see him.{S}
 We have killed so many other guards.{S}
 What do a few more matter?{S}
 But we have come so far!{S}
 We can easily take these few soldiers.{S}
 Do not be stupid, we can take them!{S}
 We have been through worse scrapes than this.{S}
 You do not need to turn yourself in.{S}
 A needless sacrifice will not bring victory.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You found Redcliffe in a beleaguered and weary state, having suffered nightly assaults by walking corpses.{S}
 Another attack will be unleashed upon Redcliffe tonight and you have agreed to help prepare the local militia for the battle ahead.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You found Redcliffe in a beleaguered and weary state, having suffered nightly assaults by walking corpses.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You found Redcliffe in a beleaguered and weary state, having suffered nightly assaults by walking corpses, so you helped the villagers repel the evil creatures.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You left the people to their fate and upon your return found that Redcliffe had been reduced to a lifeless ghost town.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You discovered Jowan locked in the cellar of Castle Redcliffe.{S}
 He confessed to the poisoning, but believes that there is some other evil force at work.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You discovered that Arl Eamon was poisoned by the apostate mage Jowan, and that his son, Connor, has been possessed by a demon and is now an abomination.{S}
 The abomination is keeping the arl from you, even as he lies dying.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You discovered that Arl Eamon was poisoned by the apostate mage Jowan, and that his son, Connor, had been possessed by a demon and was an abomination.{S}
 You allowed Jowan to send you into the Fade where you defeated the demon that controlled Connor.{S}
 Arl Eamon is still sick, however, and in need of a cure.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You discovered that Arl Eamon was poisoned by the apostate mage Jowan, and that his son, Connor, had been possessed by a demon and was an abomination.{S}
 Sadly, the abomination had to be destroyed, and Connor was lost in the process.{S}
 Arl Eamon is still sick, however, and in need of a cure.{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You discovered that Arl Eamon was poisoned by the apostate mage Jowan, and that his son, Connor, had been possessed by a demon and was an abomination.{S}
 Arl Eamon is still sick, however, and in need of a cure.{S}
 I am surprised this ended peacefully.{S}
 So we made it.{S}
 I was scared that you might... that one of us might not make it to the archdemon.{S}
 But you did it, and here you are.{S}
 The odds were completely against one of us actually getting to the archdemon... but of course you would make it.{S}
 The rest of the Grey Wardens haven't arrived yet from Orlais, but they have already sent... questions.{S}
 That a maleficar saved you and then ran off to have my demon baby?{S}
 That has a certain ring to it, right?{S}
 All you need is a maleficar willing to have your demon baby.{S}
 No, I suppose I will just keep that to myself.{S}
 Speaking of Morrigan, do you know where she went?{S}
 I bet this had something to do with that night.{S}
 I just do not understand how you are still alive.{S}
 I had no idea.{S}
 I suppose that makes sense.{S}
 The Grey Wardens haven't arrived yet from Orlais, but they have already been sending questions.{S}
 Speaking of mysteries, where did Morrigan go?{S}
 I do not imagine she will be easy to find if she does not want to be.{S}
 I do not imagine she would be easy to find if she did not want to be.{S}
 Let her get her own conquering hero.{S}
 I have mine.{S}
 The way I see it, it will be tolerable as long as I have you.{S}
 I will be wherever you are, so long as you will have me.{S}
 Oh, I will be waiting, do not you worry.{S}
 And keep you from your public obligations?{S}
 At any rate, I guess we will be married soon.{S}
 Do you... find that strange?{S}
 I get to marry the woman I love.{S}
 If there was anyone I could have picked, it would have been you.{S}
 It is a bit strange, but... my life has hardly been normal.{S}
 At any rate, I can see Arl Eamon giving me that look.{S}
 At any rate, I am looking forward to meeting the rest of the Grey Wardens when they come.{S}
 We will need to rebuild, right?{S}
 And, if I do not get the chance some other time...{S}
 I guess we will see how things play out, but this certainly feels like an ending... at least for now.{S}
 And, if I do not get the chance some other time... thanks.{S}
 I will let you get to your adoring public.{S}
 They want to see the hero of Ferelden, and who am I to keep them waiting?{S}
 Oh, I do not mean it like that.{S}
 You have lots to do, and an adoring public to greet.{S}
 Do not let me keep you.{S}
 I suppose that has a certain amount of justice to it.{S}
 You did what you thought you had to.{S}
 And it worked out.{S}
 Yes, I guess you did that.{S}
 You sure did.{S}
 I am married to a woman who does not like me and who I can probably never give a child to.{S}
 No, I just... did not see myself being here.{S}
 That part still keeps surprising me.{S}
 I just... did not see myself ever being where I am now.{S}
 I do not think we have much to say to one another.{S}
 Well done.{S}
 The Grey Wardens will be interested in figuring out just how she did that.{S}
 Look, you made me king and I am... grateful.{S}
 And Duncan would have been happy the Blight is over.{S}
 Look, you made me king... and that is better than being dead.{S}
 I know Duncan would have been happy that the Blight is over, as well.{S}
 Anora has big plans for you, since you are sticking around.{S}
 Until then, you would best get on with your procession.{S}
 I do not care what you tell them.{S}
 You do not want to know.{S}
 I do not know where she went.{S}
 But I will find her.{S}
 She does not want to be followed.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 We will be married soon, you know.{S}
 Better get used to them.{S}
 Meet you upstairs later?{S}
 Do you?{S}
 I am just sad we had to end things like we did.{S}
 I made you king, did not I?{S}
 I used a sword.{S}
 I do not know, really.{S}
 I wish Father found me a better job than <emp>this</emp>.{S}
 I have my eye on you.{S}
 W-we are keeping the markets s-safe for you and the queen, Warden.{S}
 I will let you out of there... for a price.{S}
 I have studied the runes on it--runes that signify different islands of the sloth demon's domain.{S}
 Which random encounter type do you want to run?{S}
 Half-Eaten Dwarf{S}
 What makes you a better choice than Anora?{S}
 What makes you a better choice than Alistair?{S}
 I can do this.{S}
 I may not know politics the way she does, but I know what needs to be done.{S}
 I can get our armies marching toward the Blight.{S}
 It is only too bad the rest of the clan could not join me here.{S}
 It is so different from what we are used to!{S}
 I find myself constantly bewildered.{S}
 The keeper did what she felt she had to.{S}
 I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us.{S}
 The keeper was brought to tears when she heard of your victory.{S}
 And this thing you have done... land to settle on!{S}
 This was your doing, so I thought perhaps you might want to see the joy you create... for it will be great, indeed.{S}
 You will see the joy this will bring...{S}
 I think it would do you good to see the joy this will bring.{S}
 Consider it, da'len, for you will not get another chance.{S}
 I could build a <emp>house</emp>.{S}
 But I should not take up so much of your time.{S}
 I know that you have duties here.{S}
 I know the Grey Wardens need you yet.{S}
 I hope your travels will bring you back to us soon.{S}
 You made it!{S}
 Did the rest of the clan come with you?{S}
 I have duties here.{S}
 The Grey Wardens need me.{S}
 There is nothing keeping me here.{S}
 This wasn't exactly my first choice when we got to Denerim, but...{S}
 I have been the ruler of this nation in all but name for the last five years.{S}
 I can lead Ferelden.{S}
 She could have us banished as soon as you hand her the crown.{S}
 She only cares about having power.{S}
 No need to hover, Warden.{S}
 Allow me to offer you my personal congratulations, Warden.{S}
 I must admit that while I did not share my father's pessimism regarding the Grey Wardens, I had my doubts that such a small number of you could be victorious.{S}
 Yet he was there in the end, was he not?{S}
 I had hoped... no, it is fine.{S}
 I am glad to know that he... ended his life as the man I remembered.{S}
 To be honest, he has surprised me with his eagerness.{S}
 Still, his jokes... if one can call them that... are already giving me headaches.{S}
 I fear my initial suspicions are proving correct.{S}
 Thankfully, he has surprised me with his eagerness to learn the business of ruling.{S}
 I have yet to hear him speak on any matter more serious that what the cooks are making for dinner.{S}
 I fear my initial suspicions will prove correct.{S}
 It will only be a matter of weeks.{S}
 Are you nervous? <desc>Chuckles</desc> I suppose compared to killing monsters the acquiring of a wife is a mundane matter.{S}
 We will need to speak more on it, especially considering the fact that you do not intend to stay in Denerim.{S}
 We will need to speak more on it, especially considering that you intend to remain with the Grey Wardens.{S}
 We will need to speak more of the role you wish to play.{S}
 We can speak further when the day is done.{S}
 There is more work to be done.{S}
 I must take my leave of you, I fear.{S}
 I shall speak to you again before the day is done.{S}
 It was a noble end.{S}
 On behalf of Ferelden, allow me to say thank you.{S}
 But of course you did.{S}
 We all have a choice, ultimately.{S}
 It is what we do anyhow that counts. <desc>Laughs</desc> So I am learning.{S}
 Well, let us not tell the masses just yet.{S}
 Let them have that.{S}
 The hero of Ferelden will have influence, and there is much to be done.{S}
 The hero of Ferelden would have influence.{S}
 There is much to rebuild there... and Anora certainly has no need of me.{S}
 There is much to rebuild there... and since you are to be chancellor, there is no need for me to remain.{S}
 Teagan has told me he will join me there.{S}
 Connor seems well enough, but Isolde... she does not wish to go back.{S}
 Teagan will take over the rule of Redcliffe, at least for the time being.{S}
 Isolde seems determined to have another child.{S}
 Perhaps we can find happiness yet, after all this.{S}
 I shall let you get back to your celebration, Warden.{S}
 I will need to send him to the Circle of Magi, however.{S}
 Tell me... have you noticed anything... strange about the lad?{S}
 I did not have a lot of choice.{S}
 That is what we do.{S}
 Make it hurt!{S}
 I need some help.{S}
 That could work.{S}
 Do not do anything rash.{S}
 I need help.{S}
 Killing you will be a treat.{S}
 Do not go no further.{S}
 Can we do something now?{S}
 We would have words with you.{S}
 We could give it a go.{S}
 Nah, that will not work.{S}
 You might find that is a very, very <emp>bad</emp> idea.{S}
 Take death!{S}
 Do not move!{S}
 We take you down.{S}
 You have thanks!{S}
 You would have no chance.{S}
 You will find a foe harder to face when you can not stab them in the back.{S}
 I have right on my side.{S}
 I do grow so tired of waiting.{S}
 And after work there is the Pearl.{S}
 A half-wit could do better.{S}
 Do not...{S}
 Uh, do not make me do something.{S}
 I will make a quick end of it.{S}
 I have taken some injuries.{S}
 That one's care of the guard, mate.{S}
 I need to talk to you.{S}
 You need all the friends you can get.{S}
 Do not cross me.{S}
 You will pay for my men.{S}
 Soon, I will make you bleed.{S}
 Listen, I do not have all day.{S}
 The fury is hot in my belly, and you are what I have been looking for.{S}
 Let us get 'em, falcons.{S}
 You got a moment?{S}
 Do not even think of provoking us.{S}
 You will find no easy meat here, Warden.{S}
 Poor little Warden's got himself a challenge now.{S}
 Death... do not take me yet.{S}
 Hold there for a moment?{S}
 I miss the open road.{S}
 Perhaps that will work.{S}
 Take them all down.{S}
 Have word, friend?{S}
 Yes, this would do.{S}
 Maybe other idea might work?{S}
 Do not think of it, "friend."{S}
 I have many close good friends.{S}
 Self-serving noble bastards.{S}
 Well done.{S}
 Might I have a word with you?{S}
 I will make it worth your while.{S}
 You should do that straight away.{S}
 Please hold a moment.{S}
 Might I have a word, good ser?{S}
 Hold.{S}
 Do not ask me.{S}
 Do not ask me.{S}
 You have arrived in Denerim, at Arl Eamon's estate.{S}
 Arl Eamon has called the Landsmeet, where Ferelden's fate will be decided and her new ruler chosen.{S}
 A monumental task lies ahead of you--you must convince the nobles of the Landsmeet that Loghain Mac Tir is no longer a hero and no longer fit to lead Ferelden against the darkspawn.{S}
 Erlina, Queen Anora's maidservant, has come to you and Arl Eamon for help.{S}
 Her mistress no longer trusts her father and suspects that he had something to do with the death of her husband, the king.{S}
 Arl Howe, an ally of Loghain's, has the queen locked up in his estate.{S}
 Queen Anora's life might be in danger and she needs your help.{S}
 If you can get Anora on your side, her voice could sway many of the nobles of the Landsmeet.{S}
 You ran into Ser Cauthrien while attempting to free Queen Anora from Arl Rendon Howe's estate.{S}
 Queen Anora escaped, but you were captured and brought to Fort Drakon.{S}
 You ran into Ser Cauthrien while attempting to free Queen Anora from Arl Rendon Howe's estate.{S}
 Queen Anora escaped, but you were captured and brought to Fort Drakon.{S}
 You need to find your way out of the fort and back to Arl Eamon's estate.{S}
 You ran into Ser Cauthrien while attempting to free Queen Anora from Arl Rendon Howe's estate.{S}
 Although she believes her father has gone mad, she does not think the Landsmeet will turn against him.{S}
 You need to prove that Loghain no longer acts in Ferelden's best interests if you want the Landsmeet on your side.{S}
 The only lead that Anora has given you is that there is unrest in the elven Alienage, and she believes Loghain and Howe have something to do with it.{S}
 You have gathered your evidence against Loghain and are ready to present it at the Landsmeet.{S}
 All the nobles have arrived in the city and the Landsmeet has been called to convene.{S}
 The Landsmeet is over and a new ruler has been chosen: Alistair.{S}
 Loghain was sentenced to take the Joining, which he survived.{S}
 He has joined you as a Grey Warden, and perhaps by serving the order, he may find some way to redeem himself for his crimes.{S}
 The Landsmeet is over and a new ruler has been chosen.{S}
 Alistair has the throne and Loghain has been executed for his crimes.{S}
 Alistair has chosen to follow you for now, and will be crowned only when the darkspawn are defeated.{S}
 Loghain was sentenced to take the Joining, which he survived.{S}
 He has joined you as a Grey Warden, and perhaps by serving the order, he may find some way to redeem himself for his crimes.{S}
 Loghain was sentenced to take the Joining, which he survived.{S}
 He has joined you as a Grey Warden, and perhaps by serving the order, he may find some way to redeem himself for his crimes.{S}
 Anora will rule as queen, with you by her side as her prince-consort.{S}
 Loghain was sentenced to take the Joining, which he survived.{S}
 He has joined you as a Grey Warden, and perhaps by serving the order, he may find some way to redeem himself for his crimes.{S}

 Alistair and Anora will marry, and rule Ferelden jointly.{S}
 Loghain has been executed for his crimes.{S}
 During these perilous times, we should hold together.{S}
 Everyone knows what you did.{S}
 I know not what to make of you.{S}
 Thief or hero, I have heard both accounts.{S}
 And after what she is already done... do we really trust her to help us?{S}
 Anora's got experience handling nobles and foreign dignitaries, but I do know a few things about fighting darkspawn.{S}
 And what would you have me do?{S}
 My knights have informed me there are some dark rumors about your conduct.{S}
 I would appreciate it if these rumors ended.{S}
 Just pay them back for anything that she is stolen.{S}
 If you can, keep the matter quiet.{S}
 And what would you have me do?{S}
 Just pay them back for anything that he is stolen.{S}
 If you can, keep the matter quiet.{S}
 If you give him the crown, then you have only bought us a brief pause in the civil war.{S}
 It will resume again at the first opportunity, and it will not end until a new dynasty holds power.{S}
 Why did you turn on me?{S}
 Do not think your actions here--both for good and for ill--have gone unnoticed, thief.{S}
 Why should I trust you after what you have done?{S}
 You do not know that.{S}
 He will have my help, and Eamon's.{S}
 You have done many notable things in your journeys, but you have also stolen from the Circle Tower.{S}
 Either pay restitution for your crimes, or we must apprehend you.{S}
 Justice must be done, and I am relieved no blood need be spilt.{S}
 I have three separate accounts from eye-witnesses and would-be victims.{S}
 Please, pay the restitution.{S}
 Pay us what you owe and we will leave you.{S}
 You did your job.{S}
 You can not prove that.{S}
 Pay?{S}
 Can not we work something out?{S}
 Because I will always do what is necessary for my people.{S}
 And he will need it.{S}
 He can not hold the throne on his own, and every soul here knows it.{S}
 And you are willing to give up your freedom?{S}
 I will make sure I see you before I head back to Highever.{S}
 When I heard that my little sister was not only a Grey Warden but also leading Ferelden into battle?{S}
 I was surprised, to put it mildly.{S}
 When I heard that my little brother was not only a Grey Warden but also leading Ferelden into battle?{S}
 I was surprised, to put it mildly.{S}
 Father... he would have been so proud of you.{S}
 You have done good.{S}
 I never made it to the battle at Ostagar.{S}
 I tried to get word to Highever.{S}
 And it wasn't in vain... you got away and saved the entire kingdom.{S}
 I am not sure you would not have just been wasting your time, to be honest. <desc>Sigh</desc> Yes, I am... trying not to think too much about them.{S}
 Howe has lost everything.{S}
 I need to go back to Highever.{S}
 See if I can clean up the mess Howe made of it.{S}
 I will see you soon, I hope? <desc>Chuckles</desc> My little sister... marrying the king.{S}
 All I can think is what Mother would have said about that. <desc>Chuckles</desc> My little brother... marrying the queen.{S}
 All I can think is what Mother would have said about that.{S}
 Try not to be gone for too long.{S}
 At this rate, the next time I see you you will have conquered half of Thedas and be twelve feet tall.{S}
 Take care of yourself, you hear?{S}
 Or I will find you and nag you like Mother did until you are ready to tear out your hair.{S}
 I can do more than imagine.{S}
 I knew I should have looked harder for you.{S}
 Howe paid for what he did.{S}
 If I can get away.{S}
 If that is the price of ending the Blight... it is my duty as a Grey Warden.{S}
 There is much for you to do yet today.{S}
 I almost do not recognize my own daughter.{S}
 I almost do not recognize my own son.{S}
 And you have even made Soris a nobleman, the voice of our people?{S}
 And you have even made Shianni a noblewoman, the voice of our people?{S}
 And you have even given our people their own voice.{S}
 I am awed, and so proud... if only your mother had lived to see this day.{S}
 I am better now that I have seen you again.{S}
 If anything, for Ferelden to have an elven hero will only do us good.{S}
 Seeing you again has brought me great joy.{S}
 There is much for the hero of Ferelden to do today, yes?{S}
 If only your mother had lived to see this day.{S}
 I do not know if having a bann will change anything.{S}
 You know, I never could get used to that big hole in the sky.{S}
 I will be glad to get back underground.{S}
 You have really showed these humans something.{S}
 Took down the Blight practically single-handed!{S}
 Ahhh, I do not mind.{S}
 Thing is, we have both been given leave to return to Orzammar.{S}
 Seems your brother is mighty grateful for what you did.{S}
 We have been restored to House Aeducan, full rights and everything.{S}
 And the Assembly is considering naming you a Paragon.{S}
 Getting the humans to help Orzammar like you did... that should make it a lock.{S}
 And if you become a Paragon, that will make you the only one alive, by my count.{S}
 You have to admit this is quick for them.{S}
 And I would be proud to take up my old position, if you will have me.{S}
 I will go back to put the house in order, at least, should you ever change your mind.{S}
 I will be happy to take up my old position, if you will have me.{S}
 At any rate, I will let the humans get back to their dwarf worship. <desc>Chuckles</desc> Still makes me smile to hear them talk.{S}
 To put House Aeducan in order, if nothing else.{S}
 Not only that, but the Assembly is considering naming you a Paragon.{S}
 Give these tall folk something to chew on the next time they badmouth a dwarf, that is what.{S}
 I have things to do, first.{S}
 I do not want to go back.{S}
 As soon as I can get away.{S}
 You do it, Gorim.{S}
 I do not care about that.{S}
 All in a day's work.{S}
 We have been waiting for you, Warden.{S}
 Why do not you join the rest of the thieving scum in the Alienage and leave these good people alone?{S}
 Do not let me catch you doing that again.{S}
 Looks like the Wardens have fallen hard.{S}
 Looks like the Wardens have fallen hard.{S}
 Do not forget that all this adulation could change very quickly.{S}
 I must thank you, however, for freeing the Circle from our shackles.{S}
 You could have asked for anything!{S}
 Most would have asked for wealth, or power.{S}
 Whatever you need in return, whenever you need it, it is yours for the asking.{S}
 Well put.{S}
 We must treat this gift seriously, for we will be scrutinized to see where it leads.{S}
 Allow me to offer you my congratulations... and my thanks.{S}
 It could have been so much worse.{S}
 Let us hope the people never realize how close we came to disaster.{S}
 Uldred's revolt has left me... very quick to tire these days.{S}
 And you got it, as well as our gratitude.{S}
 I did what I thought was right.{S}
 I hope this works out, for all our sakes.{S}
 I needed your help.{S}
 I have... uhh... heard you are a troublemaker.{S}
 Did you just...?{S}
 The people here have precious little.{S}
 That so many resort to thievery makes matters all the worse.{S}
 Do not need more trouble here.{S}
 So do what you must and leave, stranger.{S}
 If they make you a Paragon, that makes me a Paragon's sister!{S}
 I am his concubine, but it is a comfortable position anyhow, I will give you that.{S}
 Bah, it worked out just fine.{S}
 My son will be the Aeducan heir, and I do not have a husband to boss me around.{S}
 Mother swore off drinking when she heard about what you did.{S}
 They want me to tell you that you are free to return to Orzammar.{S}
 They have made you a full citizen.{S}
 I do not know, but they did.{S}
 I hear they are considering making you a Paragon.{S}
 Since you got the humans to fight for Orzammar, I bet it is for certain.{S}
 I hear they are considering making you a Paragon.{S}
 I hear they are considering making you a Paragon.{S}
 Anyhow, I intend to get back to sampling this human wine.{S}
 Are not you married to a king?{S}
 Sorry I got your husband killed.{S}
 Can they do that?{S}
 I have no interest in going back.{S}
 You have traveled to the Brecilian forest to track down the elusive Dalish elf clans, in the hopes that they will join in your battle against the Blight.{S}
 You came across one of the clans, and its keeper, Zathrian, has asked you to kill an enemy of the elves, the great beast Witherfang, in return for their aid.{S}
 You found one of the elusive Dalish elf clans, and its keeper, Zathrian, has asked you to kill an enemy of the elves, Witherfang, in return for their aid against the Blight.{S}
 You have ventured deep into the Brecilian Forest in search of Witherfang.{S}
 You found one of the elusive Dalish elf clans, and its keeper, Zathrian, has asked you to kill an enemy of the elves, Witherfang, in return for their aid against the Blight.{S}
 You ventured deep into the Brecilian Forest and have come across a ruin where the beast might be hiding.{S}
 The Lady told you that Zathrian is the source of the werewolf curse, and she has begged you to bring Zathrian to her, so she may convince him to end the spell.{S}
 The conquering heroine has won the day, and now she takes her bow and exits the stage.{S}
 A fine ending.{S}
 Are not you getting married soon, to a king?{S}
 Yes, she most certainly does.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I haven't read that part yet, have I?{S}
 You will have to tell me.{S}
 The conquering hero has won the day, and now he takes his bow and exits the stage.{S}
 A fine ending.{S}
 We had danger, we had victory, and many characters... truly I could not have borne witness to a better play had it been on a stage.{S}
 Are not you getting married soon, to a queen?{S}
 Once, I might have felt differently... but life is too short. <desc>Sigh</desc> Yes, I am afraid it does.{S}
 I just can not do that. <desc>Laughs</desc> Yes.{S}
 Yes, he most certainly does.{S}
 Does not it?{S}
 Odd how that works, no?{S}
 The Maker sent me to help you, and look what you did.{S}
 But does the heroine get her girl?{S}
 The hero <emp>always</emp> gets the girl.{S}
 Maybe this is an ending after all, then.{S}
 But this is not a play.{S}
 But does the hero get his girl?{S}
 Does that have to change anything?{S}
 It does not have to be an ending.{S}
 You should be taking a bow with me.{S}
 Zathrian used her heart to cure the clan's sickness.{S}
 You brought Zathrian to the Lady so she could convince him to end the werewolf curse.{S}
 Instead of ending the curse, however, Zathrian joined with you to kill the wolves.{S}
 He then used Witherfang's heart to cure his people.{S}
 However, you volunteered to lead the werewolves to the elves so they could exact their revenge.{S}
 You brought Zathrian to the Lady so she could convince him to end the werewolf curse.{S}
 Instead of ending the curse, however, Zathrian joined with you to kill the wolves.{S}
 You brought Zathrian to the Lady and she helped Zathrian see that his hatred was poisoning everything around him.{S}
 Zathrian sacrificed himself to end the curse.{S}
 Zathrian sacrificed himself to end the curse he inflicted on the humans so long ago.{S}
 With the curse ended, Swiftrunner and the other werewolves became human once again.{S}
 Still, the elves, out of gratitude, have agreed to help you in your battle against the Blight.{S}
 I will have to remember to write it down.{S}
 As it so happens, my plan is to do exactly the same thing.{S}
 I am pretty sure that whatever you get up to, it will involve plenty of excitement by anyone's standards.{S}
 At any rate, I should let you get back to your celebration before someone drags you away.{S}
 I am thinking that spending some time in one place might be a nice change of pace.{S}
 Perhaps not, but there is nowhere I would rather be than with you. <desc>Laughs</desc> Glad we worked that out, then.{S}
 I imagine that whatever you get up to, it will be anything but boring.{S}
 Well, if that is how it has to be, then so be it.{S}
 There is some old business to be taken care of.{S}
 Perhaps I will see you one day when I get back, if I do.{S}
 To find Marjolaine.{S}
 I do not know how long I will be gone.{S}
 This is something I need to do on my own.{S}
 I will try.{S}
 This is something I have to do, however.{S}
 Until then, take care of yourself.{S}
 I have been offered a position... to head up an investigation into the darkspawn.{S}
 Well, we really do not know much about them, do we?{S}
 Anora says that we need to find out more, see how far they go in the Deep Roads and where those broodmothers can be found.{S}
 Alistair says that we need to find out more, see how far they go in the Deep Roads and where those broodmothers can be found.{S}
 We can talk again once the celebrations are done and make preparations.{S}
 Oh no, you have your own things to keep you busy, I am sure.{S}
 At any rate... you should get back to the celebration.{S}
 I have been asked by the Chantry to return to the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 I need to make sure it is protected.{S}
 Maybe pilgrims can even begin going there again.{S}
 I do not think it was the Maker, to be honest.{S}
 I think you did plenty.{S}
 You would not find that boring?{S}
 Do you need help?{S}
 I will be relieved when all this pomp and ceremony is done.{S}
 You do not have to stay, you know.{S}
 Keep your hands where I can see them, outsider.{S}
 I will have you keel-hauled!{S}
 We do not tolerate thievery here, outsider.{S}
 I do hope Melora's party returns.{S}
 I care not about the keeper's orders.{S}
 You will pay for your transgressions!{S}
 From bitter experience the Dalish have come to mistrust outsiders.{S}
 Do not interrupt.{S}
 I have a thing or two to say to you.{S}
 I suppose that will do.{S}
 That is the worst idea I have ever heard.{S}
 I can have you standing in the square reciting Benedictions, if you like.{S}
 With Taliesen dead, it may take them time to figure out what has happened... but they are like the tides.{S}
 You know, it does occur to me that staying in one place is only going to invite the Crows to find me that much quicker.{S}
 While fun, that might eventually get... complicated.{S}
 Well, now, I do not know.{S}
 There are interesting things to see and do... and then there is you.{S}
 Then let the Crows bring it on.{S}
 Since I am sticking around, I suppose we will have plenty of time to speak later, yes?{S}
 So go on and get paraded about.{S}
 It is the sort of thing that made us friends, after all.{S}
 Brings a tear to the eye, really.{S}
 So let the Crows come.{S}
 It will make for fun times and interesting party talk, yes?{S}
 Yes, I think that will work, sad as I am to part company. <desc>Sigh</desc> Yes, I imagine that is true, as loathe as I am to part company from one I am so fond of. <desc>Sigh</desc> Yes, I suppose that is true, sad as it is.{S}
 See the world, meet some people, rob a few of them blind... do you have something different in mind?{S}
 I have grown fond of you, you see.{S}
 Meeting new people and killing a few?{S}
 And I promise not to get you into too much trouble.{S}
 Well... no more than you get me into, anyhow.{S}
 Then let us not spend any time apart.{S}
 Fate does have an odd way of meddling in our affairs.{S}
 Sad as I am to part company from you, I have a feeling it will not be for good.{S}
 I hope fate decrees we meet again.{S}
 You tend to get up to interesting things.{S}
 You meet interesting people and then you kill them.{S}
 Oh no, no, there are some bodily fluids even <emp>I</emp> will not touch.{S}
 So true, though I will not be offering <emp>those</emp> skills up to the other Grey Wardens.{S}
 Since we are going to be leaving together, we can speak after you have been sufficiently paraded in front of the populace.{S}
 Do not worry, I will keep an eye on you and make sure no one gets a clear shot.{S}
 Not without paying me a great <emp>deal</emp> of coin, anyhow.{S}
 I do like those benefits.{S}
 It is not like we will not meet again.{S}
 You thinking of joining?{S}
 Does the Ferelden monarchy make much use of assassins?{S}
 I wonder if this is a good time to ask... <emp>Find Goldanna</emp>{S}
 He is always wanted to find her to talk to her, but he is never done it.{S}
 Now Alistair wishes to warn her about the Blight, while he still has the chance.{S}
 Goldanna lives in Denerim, near the Alienage. <emp>Find Flemeth's grimoire in the Circle Tower</emp>{S}
 Morrigan has told you about an old tome that was taken from Flemeth a long time ago by a templar.{S}
 Sten has his sword back, and seems at peace again.{S}
 You led the wolves to the Dalish camp, where you helped them exact bloody revenge on the elves.{S}
 With their thirst for vengeance appeased, the werewolves--led by Swiftrunner--have sworn themselves to your cause.{S}
 They will join your army and help you battle the Blight.{S}
 You helped cure the elves of a werewolf curse, and they have pledged themselves to your cause, and will join you in your battle against the Blight.{S}
 With Jarvia gone, we have orders to be tougher on crime in Dust Town.{S}
 The topsider is making a bit of trouble, are you?{S}
 I know this is Dust Town, but we have got rules here, too.{S}
 Orzammar does not stand for thievery.{S}
 Like, let us say, Wardens.{S}
 Do not think you will get away with it.{S}
 Outsiders like you are always causing trouble.{S}
 The guard have had many complaints against you.{S}
 Our... orders are to make an example of you.{S}
 We are not taking you in; you die here.{S}
 The captain just has it in for you.{S}
 Men, I will not have innocent blood be spilt here today.{S}
 Let us leave.{S}
 The captain has a powerful hate for you.{S}
 In truth, we have little love for the captain.{S}
 Men, our work here is done.{S}
 You have made some enemies in the city.{S}
 For what you have done, the shapers may very well take your life instead of a hand.{S}
 Whether justice is done here or with the headsman in the commons, it matters little.{S}
 Sodding bastard! <act>Lie</act> I haven't done anything.{S}
 You would do this after all I have done for Orzammar?{S}
 Maybe we can come to some other arrangement? <act>Pay 10 sovereign.</act> I am innocent, as you can see.{S}
 I would not try that if I were you.{S}
 People forget that Wardens recruit from every walk of life.{S}
 Do not come near me.{S}
 What little I have, I want to keep.{S}
 I need to say something to you.{S}
 You are a worthy and skilled recruit, and I know of your talent with sleight of hand.{S}
 Grey Wardens use a diverse range of skills and tools to accomplish their missions.{S}
 Just do not get caught.{S}
 Let us change the subject, shall we. <desc>Sigh</desc> Yes, we are done.{S}
 But I need to practice to get better.{S}
 Are we done here?{S}
 Have you had any success in the Wilds?{S}
 I find it difficult to believe that he deliberately misled us.{S}
 Have you another explanation for what happened?{S}
 I should have known.{S}
 The witch disappeared not long after the battle, and has not been seen since.{S}
 I suppose Ferelden has been saved either way.{S}
 Still, the Orlesian Grey Wardens have been persistent in their questions.{S}
 I intend to keep any thoughts on the matter to myself.{S}
 So it appears that Morrigan's ritual did as advertised.{S}
 I shudder to think what the witch will do with any child she conceives.{S}
 If I have learned anything, it is that your decisions will always come back to haunt you.{S}
 No doubt she does not wish to be found.{S}
 If only things worked out to our benefit more often, I might have more hope.{S}
 I cannot help but wonder if the price that we eventually pay will be worth it.{S}
 I was fully prepared to pay the final price.{S}
 But what is done is done.{S}
 I simply hope you know what you were doing.{S}
 I have been tapped to lead up the Grey Warden recruitment efforts here in Ferelden.{S}
 I suspect you are not prepared for what it means to be married to my daughter.{S}
 I would have preferred she not interfered.{S}
 Allow me to say before I go that you have earned my respect.{S}
 Odd that I ended up here, saying that, but there it is.{S}
 Perhaps we shall meet again.{S}
 Let us put an end to the chatter here.{S}
 I am sure neither of us has the stomach for it.{S}
 Regardless of what I might think, you ended the Blight.{S}
 I have been tapped to lead up their recruitment efforts here in Ferelden.{S}
 I have been tapped to lead the Grey Warden recruitment efforts here in Ferelden.{S}
 I would have been happy to take your place and not risk any of this magic, I will point out.{S}
 So do I.{S}
 It rarely works out that way, however.{S}
 Maybe things have changed.{S}
 Why do you care?{S}
 No, I do not.{S}
 I do not care what she does.{S}
 We do not know that.{S}
 I think she is the one who is not prepared.{S}
 How does it feel?{S}
 Dead heroes are all fine and well, I understand, but living heroes give the people something to gawk at.{S}
 The girl does like to get to the point.{S}
 Of that I have no doubt.{S}
 It is a title you will be wearing for a long time to come, just as Loghain wore his. <desc>Chuckles</desc> I suppose it is at that.{S}
 They could have thought up a better name.{S}
 Well, he could hardly have <emp>expected</emp> better.{S}
 I do not think many heroes ever do.{S}
 Until you do something wrong, and then they will enjoy tearing you down just as rapidly.{S}
 I am glad not to be on the receiving end of all this attention, myself.{S}
 I say let the young have their fame.{S}
 Best get on with it.{S}
 Oh, I am certain you have no interest in an old woman's plans.{S}
 No need to be so polite.{S}
 Thank you for what you did at the tower.{S}
 I am sure you have plenty of adventures yet to come.{S}
 You did a fine job, and I am sure now you will move on.{S}
 I doubt we will meet again.{S}
 Not that I have gone without notice.{S}
 Irving asked me to take over as first enchanter, but I do not wish to go back.{S}
 Instead, I have decided to travel.{S}
 Shale has expressed a desire to go to Tevinter to look into a way to regain her mortality, and I will join her.{S}
 Besides, with your boon the tower will be free... it hardly needs me.{S}
 I might take up traveling.{S}
 Instead, I have decided to accept a position here at court.{S}
 There has not been a mage advising the throne for a very long time.{S}
 I did not do it on my own.{S}
 I think it is time for me to sample some of that lovely cider I smelled earlier... now where did it go?{S}
 It is true, I... do not know how much time I have.{S}
 So I shall see as much of the world as the Maker allows.{S}
 Perhaps this is a gift, in the end... a nudge in the right direction?{S}
 I doubt we will meet again, my dear.{S}
 I doubt we will meet again, young man.{S}
 I wonder who? <desc>Chuckles</desc> At any rate, I offered to bring her before the Tevinter mages.{S}
 Their lore is considerable, and I have always wanted to travel to Minrathous.{S}
 I have always wanted to go but I never have.{S}
 It is true, I may not have very much time... but perhaps there is a great deal of good I can do even so.{S}
 I will try.{S}
 For now, I imagine the "hero of Ferelden" still has much to do.{S}
 I wish you good fortune on your journeys wherever they may take you.{S}
 If we do not see each other again... live well, Warden.{S}
 We will see each other a great deal at court, I imagine, unless you are planning on leaving now.{S}
 I understand you are remaining in Denerim, so we will likely see each other a great deal.{S}
 I appreciate the offer... but I cannot.{S}
 What time I have remaining, I wish to spend being useful.{S}
 My impression that all creatures made of flesh were hopelessly squishy was... premature.{S}
 It has made me revise my opinion of its kind--<emp>my</emp> kind...{S}
 I have to keep reminding myself that.{S}
 In fact, I think I may even try to become one again.{S}
 Wynne has offered to accompany me to Tevinter, to speak with the mages there.{S}
 The Circle of Minrathous has the largest collection of arcane knowledge in Thedas.{S}
 If it is possible to reverse this... process... then the knowledge to do so will be there.{S}
 Then I will keep looking.{S}
 I have nothing if not time, yes?{S}
 I would not object, but surely it has better things to get up to.{S}
 That may take a while.{S}
 But no... this is something I must do.{S}
 I have decided to travel north to Tevinter.{S}
 The Circle of Magi in Minrathous has the largest collection of arcane knowledge in Thedas, or so I am told.{S}
 I think I would like to try.{S}
 It has proven to me, however, that fleshiness does not automatically mean squishiness.{S}
 It has exceeded my expectations.{S}
 For a flesh creature, it has been excellent company.{S}
 Perhaps I can do something to aid the dwarves.{S}
 Does that make sense?{S}
 I must do this.{S}
 But it is time for me to find my own way.{S}
 Its quest is done now, and thus it is less interesting than before.{S}
 Perhaps I will meet it once again, in its travels... or perhaps not.{S}
 I may walk on the bottom, I do not know.{S}
 And it is a master without a working control rod, so I will go while I can.{S}
 I did better than survive.{S}
 Yes, it does.{S}
 That might take a while.{S}
 Do you need some help?{S}
 What are you going to do now?{S}
 I have not heard it used before, but I think I understand the intent.{S}
 The arishok on occasion has declared a qunari to be qunoran vehl, one who serves as an example to others.{S}
 Such examples are always made after their death, however.{S}
 I would argue, had you not ended a Blight.{S}
 What the human custom has in common with our own is that the declaration of a qunoran vehl is a cause for much celebration.{S}
 For the qunari people, it is a cause for much celebration.{S}
 There is imbibing of spirits, public chanting, meditations abandoned... it is madness.{S}
 Do the qunari celebrate and put on parades?{S}
 He had guards with him and he was all fancy and proper!{S}
 I do not know anything, I swear!{S}
 If I were tall and beautiful like you, I could make all sorts of money...{S}
 You got two silver; I will do anything you want.{S}
 Do you think the new king'll throw us some coins for good luck?{S}
 I got nothing to do with the carta!{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 I did not mean to get in your way!{S}
 I do not know nothing about it.{S}
 Do not make me go back there!{S}
 Do not let them get me again!{S}
 Get out of my way!{S}
 I do not know anything!{S}
 I do not know anything!{S}
 After what you did, we are the ones going to suffer.{S}
 I see the way they all look at me... they think I am less than dirt. <desc>Snorts</desc> Yes, were I too weak to protect myself, I suppose I would also be vastly relieved to have a "hero" save the day.{S}
 We take great joy in every aspect of our lives.{S}
 It can take days for the Ben-Hassrath to restore order.{S}
 I have decided to return to my people.{S}
 Your quest is done, and thus so is my reason for accompanying you.{S}
 I did not think the qunari could enjoy themselves.{S}
 Do not you ever smile?{S}
 And I was just starting to get used to you.{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 I did not do anything!{S}
 Do not look at me!{S}
 What is a human doing down here?{S}
 Did you hear something about a new king?{S}
 I knew you would be back to finish what you did to Beraht.{S}
 Jarvia do not like no one asking questions about her.{S}
 I did not do it, ser!{S}
 I do not know anything!{S}
 What are you trying to do, kill me?{S}
 You do not want to go in there.{S}
 I-I do not go near there.{S}
 That kind of question gets a man killed.{S}
 Keep asking questions like that, and you will get dragged in soon enough.{S}
 You got any coin?{S}
 I haven't eaten since yesterday.{S}
 And I thought they were just made-up stories to frighten children.{S}
 I-I will just get out of your way.{S}
 You will get us all in trouble you will...{S}
 But the Blight is done.{S}
 I have an answer for the arishok that no longer requires the question.{S}
 I am pleased to have played a small role in that victory.{S}
 It must be said: You found my sword and gave me a chance to restore my honor.{S}
 I owe you a great debt.{S}
 It must be said: You gave me the chance to redeem my honor, and now it is done.{S}
 I owe you a debt.{S}
 It has.{S}
 There will come a time when I will return, and then it shall be done.{S}
 Until then, may you always find the path you seek.{S}
 Perhaps we shall meet again.{S}
 Should it be in battle, I will not seek you out.{S}
 There is much to hold you here, and it is a long journey.{S}
 If you truly wish to come, I have a ship prepared to leave in two days time.{S}
 Meet me at the docks after all this celebration is over.{S}
 It would be good to continue our travels.{S}
 If I do not see you there... panahedan, kadan.{S}
 May you always find the path you seek.{S}
 I do not think Par Vollen would welcome you.{S}
 It will be difficult to travel alone after... so much time spent with companions.{S}
 I suspect Par Vollen will not look the same as it once did.{S}
 My views have... changed, a little.{S}
 I did not perish in the attempt, but I believe my contribution to the end of the Blight was worthy.{S}
 Somebody has to make sure you stay on the path.{S}
 Somebody has to make sure you do not lose your sword.{S}
 All redeemed then, I take it?{S}
 Please do not disturb me.{S}
 I am sorry, you will have to bother someone else with your questions.{S}
 I am doing very important work!{S}
 Humans have a better taste for spirits than I thought.{S}
 Probably because they put dirt in it.{S}
 It is not all I can do! <desc>Belch</desc> See? <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I think I have earned it.{S}
 I think <emp>you have</emp> earned it.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 They may have already branded me a surfacer back home, anyhow.{S}
 That pot-bellied son of a whore Teagan said I would pass out before drinking an entire barrel of pickle juice--I aim to prove him wrong.{S}
 Do not get lost in the shuffle, now.{S}
 Swing around in a few months or so, and if I am sober by then I will let you know. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I am getting used to that big sky up there.{S}
 If she throws me out and shacks up with some poetess, I do not think my ego could take it.{S}
 I got offered a spot in the human army.{S}
 Makes me wish Branka was still around, so she could see what she is missing. <desc>Sigh</desc> Stupid girl.{S}
 That pot-bellied son of a whore Teagan said I would pass out before drinking an entire barrel of pickle juice--I aim to prove him wrong. <desc>Laughs</desc> Who, me?{S}
 And... since we are more or less done adventuring for now, I wanted to say... you are all right.{S}
 I do not come by... by friends very often.{S}
 Let us make sure we do not become strangers.{S}
 And... since we are more or less done adventuring for now, I wanted to say... you are all right.{S}
 And... since we are more or less done adventuring for now, I wanted to say... you are all right.{S}
 Only a dwarf could have done all that, after all.{S}
 Is that all you can do?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 Does that mean you are staying here?{S}
 You are done adventuring?{S}
 Just treat her well, Oghren.{S}
 They need some cannon fodder, I take it?{S}
 You will need to straighten up, some.{S}
 Take care of yourself, Oghren.{S}
 Do not ever change.{S}
 I will let you do that, then.{S}
 We have many.{S}
 I hope you find what you are looking for.{S}
 It is such a pleasure to finally meet you, Warden!{S}
 Can you believe that so much work has already been done to rebuild?{S}
 I am told nobody has ever stopped the Blight so quickly before!{S}
 Thank you so much for what you have done.{S}
 It is a pleasure to meet you, Warden.{S}
 I saw it flying above the city--it was so large and horrible! <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 The Tevinters are taking the healthy elves and shipping them off to the Imperium to be sold as slaves.{S}
 The crowds outside are getting restless.{S}
 I will take you there now.{S}
 Just put in an appearance, so I understand it.{S}
 I am supposed to take you to your escort... full brigade, their armor all shined up and everything.{S}
 They are really honored to be guarding you, let me tell you.{S}
 Let me know when you wish to go, then.{S}
 The crowds outside are getting restless.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 What am I supposed to do?{S}
 Let us go, then.{S}
 And Andraste came unto them saying, "Though the danger great, the mountain high, have faith.{S}
 Let each look after his neighbor, and he will be looked after in return.{S}
 For a foundation built of stone, marble, or any precious metal is worthless if faith in the Maker is absent.{S}
 The affliction is a curse that runs rampant in their blood, bringing great agony and then ultimately either death or a transformation into something monstrous.{S}
 You asked, did you not?{S}
 But it is the one who made these werewolves come to be.{S}
 But you are going to ask me to get it anyhow, right?{S}
 The archdemon, it... "talks" to the horde, and we feel it just as they do.{S}
 I do not know if it is really a dragon, but it sure looks like one.{S}
 He did.{S}
 It takes a bit, but eventually you can block the dreams out.{S}
 Duncan said he thought I had someone in my room.{S}
 I have just been so distracted with the, you know, massacre of all my friends and the war and all that... sorry.{S}
 Let us pull up camp and get a move on.{S}
 What does that mean?{S}
 Did you hear that?{S}
 Must have been something I ate.{S}
 Why did not Duncan just tell everyone that?{S}
 You could have told me earlier.{S}
 Did it just get a lot colder?{S}
 I hope they ask me to join in.{S}
 You did not find a use for the oil you found in the general store.{S}
 You were unable to find a way to give Ser Perth and his knights the divine protection they desired.{S}
 Then... what imposter did I fight?{S}
 You gave the old scrolls to Sister Justine in the Rectory in Denerim.{S}
 She said she will need time to verify their authenticity.{S}
 The scrolls you found were an account of the last days of Maferath, Andraste's husband.{S}
 What do you want to do in the village?{S}
 What do you want to do in the castle?{S}
 After getting the urn quest.{S}
 Jumping to after getting the urn quest.{S}
 What are we to do now, Riordan?{S}
 You have a plan, I assume?{S}
 Get away!{S}
 Keep away from me!{S}
 Keep away from me.{S}
 If you just tried what I think you did...{S}
 What are you trying to do, stranger?{S}
 What is your hand doing there?{S}
 I have killed men for less.{S}
 Can not you find something better to do with your time?{S}
 Keep your hands to yourself!{S}
 Did you just?{S}
 I got nothing to take, idiot.{S}
 For your mother's sake, I will pretend that did not happen.{S}
 Get away from me, worm!{S}
 As if things could not get worse.{S}
 As if things could not get worse.{S}
 You get one warning.{S}
 Did you...?!{S}
 Touch me again and I will cut off your hands.{S}
 Keep your hands away from me.{S}
 I would hoped your father raised you better than that!{S}
 You have been raised better than that.{S}
 You should not be doing that.{S}
 I would swear you were trying to...{S}
 Keep your sodding hands to yourself.{S}
 How low you dusters have fallen.{S}
 Did you....?{S}
 You will pay for that.{S}
 You will pay for that.{S}
 Keep your hands out of my pockets.{S}
 You will have to try harder than that, your highness.{S}
 House Dace will not take your behavior idly.{S}
 What do you think you are doing?{S}
 What are you doing?!{S}
 Keep your hands off me.{S}
 There are more private places where you can put your hands anywhere you like.{S}
 Princeling or no, keep your hands away from my goods.{S}
 Keep your hands away from me.{S}
 Please do not!{S}
 This will not do.{S}
 I do not need this aggravation.{S}
 I do not deserve this treatment.{S}
 I have nothing to take.{S}
 Get your hands off me!{S}
 I say, are you trying to pickpocket me?{S}
 I will knife you if you do that again.{S}
 Not to be rude, but could you keep your hands where I can see them?{S}
 Now strangers are trying to pick pocket me.{S}
 I just give up. !{S}
 Do not try that again.{S}
 Please, have mercy!{S}
 You are a damned fool to try that here.{S}
 Do not ever do that again here.{S}
 You will pay for that.{S}
 Keep your hands where I can see them!{S}
 Herren, I think the customer is groping me! <emp>Deal with Leorah's infestation</emp>{S}
 Senior Enchanter Leorah has a small problem: the storage caves adjacent to the laboratory have been infested with spiders.{S}
 Leorah does not have time to deal with this and so she has asked you to help her. <emp>Talk to Leorah</emp>{S}
 You have killed all the spiders in the storage caves.{S}
 You have killed all the spiders and Senior Enchanter Leorah has promised you a favor for dealing with the infestation.{S}
 The well-worn key to the Circle's cave storage rooms.{S}
 Did you recruit mages or templars?{S}
 Did you recruit elves or werewolves?{S}
 Did you recruit Legion of the dead?{S}
 Did you recruit the golems?{S}
 Got nothing to take.{S}
 The market has gone to pot.{S}
 Yes, I know you can do that.{S}
 You really do not know when to quit, do you?{S}
 Did you just... ?{S}
 And does not that just top off the day?{S}
 I do not like this.{S}
 Prelude. <emp>Find ironbark for Varathorn</emp>{S}
 You have found some ironbark in the forest.{S}
 You have saved my hide, I am sure.{S}
 And I owe you a favor, so if you need anything...{S}
 I have dealt with your infestation.{S}
 I just needed to get some supplies.{S}
 It might be possible that he could... teach you to be like him.{S}
 You mean teach the mortal to take this form?{S}
 You let go of the human form years ago.{S}
 I... do not think I would make a very good bear.{S}
 I have faced more in this place than you can imagine.{S}
 Hiding does not help.{S}
 I will try.{S}
 I will try to be a bear.{S}
 If you will teach me.{S}
 I am not sure I want to provide him with either.{S}
 Hiding does not solve anything.{S}
 We need to face our fears.{S}
 Teach Mouse the bear form, or I will kill you.{S}
 I will teach the mouse to be the bear, if only to get rid of you!{S}
 Brother Genitivi has gone missing while searching for the fabled Urn of Sacred Ashes--the urn that contains the remains of the prophet Andraste.{S}
 Brother Genitivi knows more about the Urn than any man alive and in order to find it, you set out to find him.{S}
 Brother Genitivi has gone missing while searching for the fabled Urn of Sacred Ashes--the urn that contains the remains of the prophet Andraste.{S}
 You have found Brother Genitivi.{S}
 He had been captured by villagers from the isolated mountain village of Haven.{S}
 However, Brother Genitivi has also learned of an old temple, deep in the mountains beyond Haven, which he believes was built to protect the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 Keep your h-hands away!{S}
 Keep your money-grubbing fingers out of my pockets.{S}
 If I did not know any better...{S}
 Get your sodding hands off me.{S}
 Cutpurse, you do not want to make me angry.{S}
 I need help... not this...{S}
 Keep your ground.{S}
 Kindly keep your hands off my possessions.{S}
 I have an important duty!{S}
 The Maker will cast you down, and you will pay!{S}
 I expected the Wardens to have higher standards.{S}
 Get away!{S}
 I have no time for nonsense.{S}
 You think they did not take all I owned already?{S}
 K-Keep away!{S}
 We have more important things to do.{S}
 As if I did not have enough to handle.{S}
 Just keep away!{S}
 All of you, keep away!{S}
 What were you doing?{S}
 Keep away!{S}
 May the Maker have mercy on sinners.{S}
 In these dark times we must work together against the common threat.{S}
 Sergeant Kylon has brought disturbing news that should anger all righteous people.{S}
 Sergeant Kylon has also offered a heavy purse for any brave souls that can best these brigands and make Denerim a safe place once again.{S}
 This humble chanter has added to the reward, as well.{S}
 Sergeant Kylon put a posting on the Chanter's Board to find and eliminate an organized group of thieves that operate out of the back alleys.{S}
 I have to say no; I can not help you.{S}
 Is there something you need?{S}
 Have a nice day.{S}
 You have journeyed to the ruined temple in the mountains beyond the village of Haven, where the Urn of Sacred Ashes lies.{S}
 However, the people of Haven have come to believe that Andraste has been reborn as a dragon.{S}
 You have journeyed to the ruined temple in the mountains beyond the village of Haven, where the Urn of Sacred Ashes lies.{S}
 However, the people of Haven have come to believe that Andraste has been reborn as a dragon.{S}
 Their leader, Kolgrim, believed that the existence of the Urn undermined the dragon's power and he wanted you to corrupt the Ashes, which you have done.{S}
 The people of Haven, after many years of isolation, had come to believe that the Urn no longer mattered, and that Andraste had been reborn as a dragon.{S}
 Do you need something, or are you just here to state the obvious? <desc>Chuckles</desc> The knight-commander would have my head if I did that.{S}
 Besides, I hear it takes no less than four grown men to open this door.{S}
 Can you open the door?{S}
 Mouse <emp>Find Rexel</emp>{S}
 Maker bless these men and women, and have mercy on those who fell defending our children from the Blight.{S}
 Sadly, one of these heroes has gone missing.{S}
 Rexel served in Teyrn Loghain's vanguard with distinction.{S}
 This chanter was moved by the family's grief and is offering a pouch of coin for anyone who finds this hero.{S}
 Especially now. <emp>Find Rexel</emp>{S}
 On the chanter's board, there is a quest to find a missing Ostagar veteran named Rexel.{S}
 The details of his disappearance are too vague to provide any specific leads, but you should keep an eye out for him during your travels in Denerim.{S}
 Missing in Action <emp>Find Fazzil's sextant</emp>{S}
 Master Fazzil of the esteemed Guild of Free Sailors has informed this chanter that while about guild business he was waylaid by bandits via guile and other chicanery.{S}
 This sextant is of considerable symbolic value as it belonged to the first guildmaster of the Free Sailors.{S}
 Master Fazzil described his assailants as masked, of foreign descent (perhaps Tevinter or Free Marches), and unusually coordinated and crafty.{S}
 He has placed a hefty sum of coin with this chanter for the return of his sextant.{S}
 That is all. <emp>Find Fazzil's sextant</emp>{S}
 From the chanter's board you learned that Master Fazzil of the Guild of Free Sailors was robbed by foreigners.{S}
 Besides money, the robbers took a sextant, which is apparently important to his guild.{S}
 He is offered a reward for the return of his sextant.{S}
 I would have thought you would be used to this idea by now.{S}
 Only mages on official Circle business are allowed to leave the tower.{S}
 And the first enchanter has not informed us of any mages leaving the tower today.{S}
 There are windows on the higher levels, but surely you do not need me to warn you of the dangers of leaping from them.{S}
 It never ends well.{S}
 At least you get to walk around.{S}
 Do not know.{S}
 I swear it is like the walls have eyes.{S}
 Hey, did you hear about that apprentice they are going to send for-- <emp>Shh</emp>!{S}
 The First Enchanter said not to let anyone through this door, and I do not question my orders.{S}
 In the depths of Arl Howe's dungeons, you found the missing veteran, Rexel.{S}
 He had been driven mad from torture and imprisonment, but is now free.{S}
 You let the chanter know of Rexel's fate, and she rewarded you.{S}
 Chanter Rosamund rewarded you for the return of the Free Sailor's sextant.{S}
 His family and Chanter Rosamund are unlikely to ever discover his fate.{S}
 Set up light content quests. <emp>Leave the Fade</emp>{S}
 A portal out of the Fade has been opened for you and it is time for you to leave. ...you must control the fire with your will.{S}
 Keep the flame steady.{S}
 We do not want it sputtering and leaping about--that is what causes most of the injuries...{S}
 You know, in my experience, flint and tinder works just as well... maybe we should start with that?{S}
 I hope you have spoken to the first enchanter.{S}
 Take me to an location.{S}
 That was a good try.{S}
 Yes, keep your emotions in check.{S}
 Do not worry, that eyebrow will grow back.{S}
 Hmm, I should put in a request to have the drapes taken out of this room.{S}
 Free Sailor Sextant{S}
 This instrument is very valuable to the Guild of Free Sailors.{S}
 Do any of you remember what the Chantry says about magic?{S}
 "Magic must serve man and not rule over him"!{S}
 And what do you think that means?{S}
 Only boys can do magic!{S}
 It means that magic should be used to help people, but we can not use our magic to... to force people to do what we want.{S}
 We should not abuse the gift the Maker has given us.{S}
 When do we get to cast spells?{S}
 We must learn the theory of magic first, because we start the practice, yes?{S}
 Girls can not do magic!{S}
 I did!{S}
 I am sure you only did that on accident, and we will try not to have more accidents, all right? <desc>Laughs</desc> You had an accident!{S}
 Or I will make your underpants be weasels while you are sleeping!{S}
 Hold the shield! <desc>Squeaks</desc>{S}
 If I had put all my power behind that spell, you would have been obliterated.{S}
 Put more of your will behind it!{S}
 It is no use holding the shield if you are falling all over yourself!{S}
 He needs more practice.{S}
 Go on, have a go at him.{S}
 It gets easier as the years go by, does not it?{S}
 I have only burned myself once today!{S}
 Please do not throw anything at me. <desc>Giggles nervously</desc>{S}
 I do not think I will survive this lesson.{S}
 Find someplace safe.{S}
 You need to go home.{S}
 Does your mentor give you lots of homework too?{S}
 Have you ever seen an anombi... abonbi...a-bom-bee-na-tion?{S}
 Open Door (for quest).{S}
 Did you hear the rumor about someone being a blood mage?{S}
 My mentor says I have great potential.{S}
 Do you think they give you the robes of mages who died?{S}
 Did you hear about the apprentice who disappeared last week?{S}
 Ahh, you think you are all special now that you have got your fancy robes, do not you?{S}
 You should take it in a bit at the hips.{S}
 I hear Irving's waiting to give you your mage robes!{S}
 Do not you ever get homesick?{S}
 It must have been.{S}
 I heard Humbert volunteered to take the Rite of Tranquility.{S}
 How does it feel to be done with the Harrowing?{S}
 Have you seen him?{S}
 I can not wait to get my mage robes.{S}
 The colors on the apprentice robes make my complexion look so dull.{S}
 I wonder when I will get to go for my Harrowing.{S}
 Did you hear?{S}
 Why would anyone do something so stupid?{S}
 Oh, I remember the day when I first got my robes.{S}
 Did you see that Grey Warden?{S}
 I hear he is trying to recruit a mage for his order.{S}
 It is the lyrium that does that, I think.{S}
 I have heard talk of a new Blight...{S}
 I should have been sent to help the King's army.{S}
 You got lucky, did not you?{S}
 Well, do not you look smug.{S}
 Get going.{S}
 You have your robes.{S}
 Today I shall be making more potions to send to the mages at Ostagar.{S}
 Is there something you need?{S}
 You found Brother Genitivi.{S}
 Genitivi says that to enter the temple in the mountain, you need Eirik's medallion.{S}
 Genitivi should be able to show you how to use it.{S}
 You are almost ready to make your final stand against the Blight.{S}
 Riordan--a veteran Grey Warden--has finally revealed to you why the Grey Wardens are needed.{S}
 Riordan has offered to make the sacrifice.{S}
 You are almost ready to make your final stand against the Blight.{S}
 Riordan--a veteran Grey Warden--has finally revealed to you why the Grey Wardens are needed.{S}
 However, Morrigan has come to you, offering a ritual to spare the Grey Wardens involved--she would conceive a child that can survive and contain the archdemon's essence.{S}
 Morrigan offered you a way out--a ritual to conceive a child that will be a vessel for the archdemon's essence.{S}
 You refused to allow Morrigan to perform her ritual.{S}
 Morrigan offered you a way out--a ritual to conceive a child that will be a vessel for the archdemon's essence.{S}
 Alistair has been chosen to father this child.{S}
 Morrigan offered you a way out--a ritual to conceive a child that will be a vessel for the archdemon's essence.{S}
 Loghain has been chosen to father this child.{S}
 Morrigan offered you a way out--a ritual to conceive a child that will be a vessel for the archdemon's essence.{S}
 You have been chosen to father this child.{S}
 You have traveled the length and breadth of Ferelden and gathered an army that can hopefully stem the black tide of the Blight.{S}
 You were misled to believe that the darkspawn were poised to attack Redcliffe when the archdemon had its sights on Denerim.{S}
 The army has made a forced march to the capital to defend it.{S}
 Keep them from getting through!{S}
 Did you hear anything?{S}
 Why do you care?{S}
 A long stick used to light candles.{S}
 To Swiftrunner's first meeting.{S}
 To Swiftrunner's second meeting.{S}
 Have a good one.{S}
 You push me, runt, and you will find a sword in your belly.{S}
 Were you trying to grab my arse?{S}
 You have got to buy me a drink first.{S}
 If I had a pint, I would drink to that.{S}
 You did not think you could steal from a thief, did you?{S}
 We carry items crafted by the Circle, as well as a variety of antiquities.{S}
 Hold it.{S}
 When's Agatha going to be done with dinner?{S}
 That might work.{S}
 Keep pushing me, and you will regret it.{S}
 Welcome, take a look around.{S}
 I should not have bought that rosemary.{S}
 Can I have a moment of your time, friend?{S}
 You trying to me to call the guards?{S}
 I have seen pit bulls less snappish.{S}
 Why am I always stuck with the dirty work?{S}
 That is... not a bad idea. <desc>Chuckles</desc> I have heard more brilliant things from the teyrn's dishwashers.{S}
 Get your hands off me!{S}
 Start Fight{S}
 You have got a prisoner down! <act>Call the guard.</act> <act>Fake an illness.</act>{S}
 Lovely Morrigan has at last found someone willing to dance to her tune.{S}
 Such enchanting music she plays, would not you say? <desc>Laughs</desc> Which one, I wonder?{S}
 What has Morrigan told you, hmm?{S}
 What little plan has she hatched this time?{S}
 That she does.{S}
 The question is, do you?{S}
 One that Flemeth has heard before... and even told.{S}
 Let us skip right to the ending, shall we?{S}
 Do you slay the old wretch as Morrigan bids?{S}
 Or does the tale take a different turn?{S}
 I shall give you one of each.{S}
 Take it as a trophy.{S}
 It would be interesting to see what she does with her freedom.{S}
 Would you give an old woman that?{S}
 It is all we ever do. <desc>Chuckles</desc> You get to keep her.{S}
 It is far easier this way, do not you think?{S}
 The book is inside the hut, with notes and spells enough to make even Morrigan blush with delight.{S}
 You and I will not meet again. <emp>That</emp> I guarantee.{S}
 But you must earn what you take.{S}
 I would have it no other way.{S}
 Do say hello for me when you return.{S}
 She is a good girl when she is not trying to kill her mother... most days.{S}
 But if I am to guess, I would say Morrigan has discovered something... something <emp>shocking</emp> that requires her defense, yes?{S}
 You have come far, and I am nothing if not hospitable. <desc>Laughs</desc> Oh, I do like that.{S}
 Let us see if she remembers the steps.{S}
 She will earn what she takes.{S}
 I would have it no other way.{S}
 I need Morrigan.{S}
 I have no choice in this.{S}
 What do you propose?{S}
 And what do I get out of it?{S}
 I could do that.{S}
 I take the grimoire for myself.{S}
 She has sent me to kill you, and for good reason.{S}
 I have come to talk, nothing more.{S}
 Is it true you intend to take Morrigan's body?{S}
 Oh, do <emp>something</emp>!{S}
 Then do leave an old woman in peace!{S}
 Next they will be putting in a road, maybe an inn... <desc>snorts</desc>{S}
 I am afraid I need to kill you, now.{S}
 I think you can do better than that.{S}
 So you will give no answers at all?{S}
 Does it matter?{S}
 Oh, I do not know.{S}
 That does sound fun.{S}
 I hope it is for good cause.{S}
 That you have come at all means you desire something.{S}
 Perhaps I may yet give it to you.{S}
 Oh, do not go in there!{S}
 I am going to be late getting the wash now.{S}
 And this of course is the recruit that Duncan said he was bringing.{S}
 Yes, let us begin.{S}
 Can we get on with this?{S}
 It is difficult to be sure what this scintillating, shimmering item really is, but just holding it makes you feel better.{S}
 Though I did not know it at the time.{S}
 I offered to take him to my father's camp.{S}
 So you offered to join him?{S}
 Try it!{S}
 Try it and see! <desc>Laughs.</desc>{S}
 Let me out of here, and I will kill you!{S}
 Do not touch me!{S}
 You know, I do not think this is working.{S}
 No, please do not go!{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 Carry my name to the Maker's ear.{S}
 Oh dear, do not do that.{S}
 Are you trying to steal from me?{S}
 If you needed money, you should have just asked.{S}
 Do not you make me call the guards.{S}
 Just what do you think you are doing?{S}
 Andraste keep you.{S}
 Er, what do you want to do that for?{S}
 You should do that.{S}
 They say something bad will happen if you keep that up.{S}
 In Andraste's name, I greet you. <desc>Hums.</desc>{S}
 You want to do that?{S}
 Do not provoke me.{S}
 You realize I have taken a vow of poverty, right?{S}
 Why does that dwarf always have customers?{S}
 Do not make me call the guards!{S}
 Vartag wants you to talk to Harrowmont to find out what he wants you to do next.{S}
 I do not even know where this one is supposed to go... <emp>Inform Vartag about Harrowmont's plans to deal with the carta</emp>{S}

 You have learned that Bhelen wants you to kill the leader of the criminal carta, Jarvia.{S}
 Return to Dulin and let him know.{S}
 I would not do that.{S}
 You can not do that!{S}
 Do not you test me, child!{S}
 What do the voices want?{S}
 Do you know who my father is?{S}
 Maker keep you.{S}
 Do not push me.{S}
 Let us see what you have got!{S}
 Hey, have a moment?{S}
 Are you trying to get shived?{S}
 Come and get it, fiend!{S}
 I need a hand here!{S}
 Is that all you have got?{S}
 Can not take much more of this...{S}
 How about you keep on pretending to be important, and I will pretend not to care?{S}
 Sure wish I had a pint and a table of cards.{S}
 Try me.{S}
 Well, what have we here? <desc>Chuckles</desc> Oh, try that again and you will be in a city of hurt.{S}
 Prepare yourself!{S}
 I could use a hand, here.{S}
 You parry like a squire. <desc>Panting</desc> So it is you who gets the upper hand...{S}
 I swear I work with nothing but slackers.{S}
 What have we here?{S}
 Watch where you are putting your hands, thief, or I will have them removed!{S}
 I could use a hand...{S}
 So this is how it all ends...{S}
 How can I put this?{S}
 What I would not give for a bouncing ball and some women's undergarment's.{S}
 I have something to say.{S}
 Watch it, you pick-pocket!{S}
 Run along, supper will be served promptly.{S}
 That will do.{S}
 You keep that up, I will box your ears!{S}
 Someone get the guards! <desc>Sigh</desc> Oh, I suppose you want a drink now, do you?{S}
 Did you see what the housekeeper wore to dinner yesterday?{S}
 Ah, Maker, it is time to get new shoes.{S}
 Oh, I think that'd do nicely.{S}
 Keep your dirty hands to yourself, thank you very much!{S}
 Coward, why do not you try <emp>really</emp> fighting? <desc>Sigh.</desc>{S}
 I think that might work.{S}
 To be left here to starve, or to be taken by the darkspawn... no one deserves that, not even a murderer.{S}
 Eaten alive by darkspawn?{S}
 Just open the Blighted door already!{S}
 I have a word or two for you.{S}
 That will not hold water.{S}
 You will get one.{S}
 Hold up there!{S}
 I have got better things to be doing than this rubbish.{S}
 That plan's got holes in it the size of a mabari's ass.{S}
 Why do not you keep that up and see who starts bleeding?{S}
 Now that does not sound half bad.{S}
 Oh, Maker, I have got an itch I can not reach. <desc>Laugh</desc>{S}
 Someone give me a hand!{S}
 Just try to hit me, runt!{S}
 I hope we are not having mutton again.{S}
 Got a minute?{S}
 Oh, I am afraid that is not going to work.{S}
 I will have you know... it was... what were we talking about again?{S}
 May I have a word with you?{S}
 The Maker does not look kindly on thieves.{S}
 Now keep to yourself.{S}
 I did not see you there.{S}
 Hold your horses.{S}
 You want a thrashing, do you?{S}
 No, do not go! <desc>Sigh.</desc> I told you this would not work.{S}
 Do you really think that is wise?{S}
 You do not know what you are toying with.{S}
 You did not show enough skin, sister.{S}
 Do not do that.{S}
 Oh, believe me, I will make you regret that.{S}
 I knew I should not have listened to you.{S}
 Oooh, I would not do that.{S}
 Oh, just keep pushing me.{S}
 Come and get me!{S}
 Do not tempt me to strike you down.{S}
 I do not think that is wise.{S}
 Do you have any idea what my father will do to you?{S}
 What do you think you are doing?{S}
 Carry it to the ears of the Maker.{S}
 The Maker will forget your name!{S}
 My lords and ladies of the Landsmeet, Teyrn Loghain would have us give up our freedoms, our traditions, out of fear! <emp>He</emp> placed us on this path, yet we should place our destiny in his hands?{S}
 A fine performance, Eamon, but no one here is taken in by it.{S}
 You would attempt to put a puppet on the throne and every soul here knows it.{S}
 And here we have the puppeteer.{S}
 I need help with this one!{S}
 You can do better than that, surely!{S}
 Can not hold... much longer...{S}
 You have my gratitude.{S}
 You thought of that on your own, did you?{S}
 You do not want to cross the likes of us.{S}
 Keep your paws to yourself, dog!{S}
 How come I got stuck doing this 'stead of running errands?{S}
 You will get in trouble!{S}
 Do not do that!{S}
 I have a word for you.{S}
 Watch it, or you will get a thrashing!{S}
 You get back here this minute!{S}
 Where do you think you are going?{S}
 Get going.{S}
 Yes, that will do.{S}
 Do not be a fool.{S}
 You are risking a great deal.{S}
 Get your hands off me!{S}
 Let us test our mettle, shall we?{S}
 I could actually... use some help, here.{S}
 You must have something up your sleeve!{S}
 I do not believe it...{S}
 You <emp>have</emp> to be kidding me.{S}
 Do not force me to make an example of you.{S}
 I can not believe you had the guts to try that.{S}
 Keep your sticky fingers to yourself, thief.{S}
 Now you pay!{S}
 You will never find your precious cure!{S}
 I should have had backup!{S}
 How many did they send? <desc>Disgusted sigh</desc>{S}
 If you please, I need to speak with you.{S}
 My patience is wearing thin.{S}
 Names.{S}
 Err... hold on...{S}
 "We honor those who have made this sacrifice; let their names be remembered."{S}
 Has to be!{S}
 If there was some way of getting this back to the Shaperate in Orzammar, I would bet they would brown their trousers!{S}
 And pay good gold for it.{S}
 It may have something to do with Caridin's words.{S}
 If there is some way to make a copy of these runes, I am willing to study them.{S}
 Perhaps there is something to be gleaned from them, I know not. <desc>The writing is in dwarven and appears to be a long list of names, each with the stamp of their house next to them.{S}
 You recognize few of the house names.</desc> <desc>At the bottom of the list are the words "We honor those who have made this sacrifice, let their names be remembered."</desc> <desc>The carvings are still deep enough that a tracing could be taken, allowing the information to be carried elsewhere.</desc> <desc>The ancient runes are traced into a stack of papers, which you store in your pack.</desc>{S}
 Shale, do you recognize this at all? <act>Examine the tablet more closely.</act> <act>Take a tracing of the tablet.</act> <act>Leave the tablet alone.</act>{S}
 I have some tracings you might be interested in.{S}
 Your presence has been recorded in the Memories.{S}
 Did not we spend all morning asking about a dwarf by this very description?{S}
 You protect this traitor, you will get the same as him.{S}
 Gentlemen, surely there is no need for trouble.{S}
 These are no doubt simply more poor souls seeking refuge.{S}
 You protect these traitors, you will get the same as them.{S}
 Did not we spend all morning asking about a woman by this very description?{S}
 Did not we spend all morning asking about a fellow by this very description?{S}
 What makes you think we are traitors?{S}
 His lordship's gone to the palace, and I am sure he will want dinner as soon as he gets back.{S}
 If you need work, outside the rectory to the southeast is a chanters board.{S}
 Be prepared, though, they do put on many airs.{S}
 I have just the thing.{S}
 I think we have what you are looking for.{S}
 Surprise me. <desc>The nugs avoid eye contact, trying to look busy.</desc>{S}
 Get 'em!{S}

 Let us not give Bhelen cause to be suspicious. <emp>Help Ser Otto discover what is going on in the Alienage</emp>{S}
 You met a blind templar, Ser Otto, who says that something is very wrong in the Alienage.{S}
 He is asked you to be his eyes and look around for anything suspicious. <emp>Help Ser Otto discover what is going on in the Alienage</emp>{S}
 Ser Otto is heading to the abandoned orphanage to investigate the source of the strange phenomena in the Alienage.{S}
 Do you often "look around" houses that do not belong to you?{S}
 Please, leave. <emp>Bring the tracing of the golem registry to the Shaperate</emp>{S}
 You made a tracing of the golem registry that you found close to the Anvil of the Void.{S}
 Oghren said that the shaper would be interested in it and would most likely pay a great deal for it.{S}
 You gave the tracing of the golem registry to the shaper.{S}
 He was very pleased to have it.{S}

 You made a tracing of the golem registry that you found close to the Anvil of the Void.{S}
 You have found more clues pointing to something unexplained and perhaps sinister at work.{S}
 You have found many clues that point to something horribly wrong in the area.{S}
 It is, however, still warm to the touch, as if it has only recently been taken from the fire.{S}

 I do not think we have much of a chance.{S}
 And yet this gives me no peace.{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 You have found a young female elf who has been driven insane by recent trauma.{S}
 She said there were "bad men" in the nearby abandoned orphanage. <emp>Look for more clues</emp>{S}
 You found a dead rabid dog in the heart of the city. <emp>Look for more clues</emp>{S}
 You found a feral dog that looks like it is close to going rabid. <emp>Look for more clues</emp>{S}
 You found a pool of uncongealed blood that smelled awful--like rotten eggs.{S}
 The pool looked fresh despite having been there for quite some time.{S}
 You all have to go back now.{S}
 Well, no matter!{S}
 How did I get here?{S}
 You tried to keep us apart.{S}
 You led us from each other because you fear us.{S}
 Do not you?{S}
 You made a dangerous enemy, demon, by toying with my mind.{S}
 Got lost, did you?{S}
 What say we make him sorry?{S}
 It has found its way back to me.{S}
 I have had enough of cages.{S}
 You will not hold us, demon.{S}
 We found each other in this place and you cannot stand against us.{S}
 If you go back quietly, I will do better this time.{S}
 I will make you much happier.{S}
 In my time in the Alienage I have come to feel there is... something sinister at work here.{S}
 I need reinforcements!{S}
 Set up "Something Wicked."{S}

 Are dwarves <emp>really</emp> that short because they did not eat their peas?{S}

 Deserted Building <emp>Find and eradicate the maleficarum in the Alienage</emp>{S}
 You found a partially burned journal on a dead templar named Ser Friden.{S}
 His investigation led him to a deserted building in the back alleys of Denerim.{S}
 Friden's last entry indicates that he is been spotted, and he implores anyone reading this journal to deal with the blood mages hidden in the city.{S}
 A leather-bound journal that was found on the body of a dead templar.{S}
 Teleport to zzstart. <emp>Find and eradicate the maleficarum in the Alienage</emp>{S}
 You have defeated the blood mage leader.{S}
 Who in Andraste's name are you?{S}
 Hey, you do not belong back here!{S}
 Open Market{S}
 What would Irving say if he found out you were up to nonsense with a rod <emp>I</emp> helped you obtain?{S}
 She will not even let us get extra supplies from the cavern stores.{S}
 Just keeps it locked up and pretends she hasn't heard us asking.{S}
 I should get back to my experiments.{S}
 I would not hold my breath.{S}
 Hope you are having a good day.{S}
 Do you think she will sign my form?{S}
 I will do that, thanks.{S}
 Say... have you seen Owain?{S}
 I hope he still has some cinnabar lying around.{S}
 And I know there is some in the caverns but Leorah just keeps that door locked and will not let any of us in there.{S}
 I suppose I will have to go check myself.{S}
 Well, I do not know.{S}
 He might have gone to the privy.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I need to head to the stockroom to see if I can pry more supplies from Owain.{S}
 The tower's built right into the rocks that rise up from the lake.{S}
 There is a system of caves in there which the Circle's used as storage space for centuries now.{S}
 Even the basement was originally part of the cave system, it is just been made over with stone and plaster.{S}
 Do not you have something better to do?{S}
 Is there anything I can do for you?{S}
 Why are not you letting anyone into the cavern stores?{S}
 Oh, that is nothing you need to concern yourself with.{S}
 We do not want to bore our guest with the tiresome details of the day-to-day running of the Circle, do we?{S}
 But if you will excuse me, I have quite a bit of work to attend to.{S}
 I am pleased to make your acquaintance.{S}
 This is a fascinating laboratory. <desc>Sigh</desc> There are just... things... in there that I would prefer to keep... safe.{S}
 That leads to the Circle's cavern store-rooms.{S}
 There are caves running through the rock that the Circle is built upon.{S}
 I just have...{S}
 I am in the midst of stock-taking.{S}
 And I... can not let anyone in there in case they... mess things up.{S}
 I can not let anyone in there just now.{S}
 No, that is something the Tranquil deal in.{S}
 Keep safe?{S}
 Are not the Circle's stores meant to be used?{S}
 Do you have rods of fire in there?{S}
 Do not wait up.{S}
 No, do not!{S}
 Look, I will tell you the truth, just keep it to yourself.{S}
 Because I... am taking a break.{S}
 How long is that supposed to take then?{S}
 I do not know how they got in there but it is probably my fault.{S}
 I was promoted to senior enchanter less than a fortnight ago and I do not want anyone to find out.{S}
 I have just been so busy with my new duties I haven't had time to clear out the infestation.{S}
 If you sign this form, I will deal with the spiders.{S}
 Today, you will be named Orzammar's newest commander.{S}
 All of Orzammar is celebrating your appointment and you have the opportunity to take a look at all the activities going on.{S}
 You are Orzammar's newest commander, and your father chose you for a mission that will bring glory and honor to your house.{S}
 While the other commanders and the Grey Wardens strike at the darkspawn in the Deep Roads, you will lead a small group to a lost thaig, to recover the legendary Shield of Aeducan--the shield carried by your house's Paragon.{S}
 Trian is dead and you have been named the murderer by your traitorous brother Bhelen.{S}
 You have been arrested for the crime of fratricide and await judgment by the noble Assembly.{S}
 You and your sister, Rica, have survived so far by selling your services to the crime lord, Beraht.{S}
 It seems that Beraht has some tasks he needs you to do today, and until Rica finds a noble patron, you are the one who can keep him happy.{S}
 You were taken away by the guards but somehow you are still alive and in one of Beraht's hideouts.{S}
 I am sure I will get to it today.{S}
 Yes, I could do that, if you clear out the infestation.{S}
 You need a rod of fire.{S}
 I could use some, I am sure.{S}
 I have been too busy with my new duties--I haven't been able to deal with the spiders.{S}
 If you cleared them out for me I would owe you a favor.{S}
 I really have nothing to offer you.{S}
 There are things in the store-rooms, of course, but I am not at liberty to just give them away.{S}
 I will do it.{S}
 I would really like to keep the damage done to the Circle's property to a minimum.{S}
 You need a senior enchanter to authorize your request for that rod!{S}
 I am a mage, I do not have a vast personal fortune.{S}
 I do not recommend it!{S}
 Have a nice day.{S}
 I will just leave you to your work then.{S}
 As much as I would like them to, they do not just disappear.{S}
 How does that sound?{S}
 I do not know what you need it for and I barely know you.{S}
 Is there anything else you can give me?{S}
 You will go far in the Circle, I bet.{S}
 Wait... you did not leave the door open, did you?{S}
 Just promise to keep those spiders away in future.{S}
 It will do.{S}
 I will be here, keeping the crawlies away.{S}
 Keeping the creepy-crawlies away?{S}
 I do not think I could have done a better job.{S}
 You owe me a favor.{S}
 It was the least I could do.{S}
 The hungry prisoner in the king's camp begged you for food, but you were unable to give him any.{S}
 Senior Mage Leorah, grateful to you for having cleared out the spiders, has signed your request form for the rod of fire. ... that is not likely.{S}
 The Chantry would do something before it came to that.{S}
 They haven't done anything and I have heard that the Aequitarians are starting to soften a little on the Libertarian position.{S}
 Sympathy for a position is not the same as support.{S}
 You can see why, do not you?{S}
 Just think of what the Chantry would do if suddenly the Circles were petitioning for more independence, or even a split.{S}
 They will get their way and take us all down with them.{S}
 Good work.{S}
 Getting back to your studies so quickly after the Harrowing?{S}
 Most mages need at least a week to recuperate.{S}
 But no matter.{S}
 It is good to see you are so eager to get back to work.{S}
 What exactly are you doing with the rod?{S}
 Well, bring me your proposal and I will look over it.{S}
 A brief overview of the research you intend to do.{S}
 Well, you need to lay out your ideas and methods clearly.{S}
 Well, take a look at Ines Arancia's Botanical Compendium.{S}
 It might help you get started.{S}
 But I am still not sure what exactly you are trying to research.{S}
 Bring me your proposal and I will look over it.{S}
 It is best not to get tangled up in Circle politics.{S}
 I do not have one.{S}
 I need controlled heat to isolate the active reagents.{S}
 It is for a good cause.{S}
 They are found in all Circles throughout Thedas, groups of enchanters who hold similar viewpoints who band together to make their voices heard.{S}
 The Lucrosians just want to make money, and the Isolationists would like us all to be hermits and live on an island.{S}
 If I had to, I would say I was an Aequitarian.{S}
 That is what they would say. <desc>Sigh</desc> Mages have enough opposition from the outside without tearing our Circles apart with in-fighting.{S}
 But what can you do?{S}
 Well, if you are going to change the world, you should get started immediately.{S}
 Which do you belong to?{S}
 Giving up does not help anyone.{S}
 In Andraste's name!{S}
 Did we?{S}
 I apologize if I have forgotten.{S}
 This place... it does strange things to your mind.{S}
 I am Niall, if you did not know already.{S}
 Did not we speak once?{S}
 Why do not you go off then?{S}
 It is till death do us part.{S}
 They do not want to.{S}
 I have seen you around, haven't I?{S}
 I must have.{S}
 Have a good day.{S}
 Get started on that then.{S}
 Maker have pity on your soul. ...?{S}
 Did you hear anything?{S}
 Exploring the Raw Fade might give you some clues on how you might escape this trap you are in.{S}
 There has to be a way to reveal what it is concealing and allow further progress in this strange place.{S}
 I have heard of hedge witches who've manage to survive on their own, eluding the Circle for a lifetime.{S}
 But if the templars discover them... well, you know what happens.{S}
 Then there are stories about the Dalish elf clans having great magic, but who knows what is truth and what is fiction when it comes to the Dalish?{S}
 It is better to never be brought to the Circle than to try to escape it.{S}
 I did not hear you come in.{S}
 I have to prepare the room before the Grey Warden is done at his meeting with Irving.{S}
 Duncan, his name is.{S}
 I just get carried away sometimes.{S}
 They are an order of brave and noble warriors, sworn to give their lives to defeat the darkspawn.{S}
 There were several of us chosen, though the Grey Wardens only wanted one recruit--they only ever have one mage, you see...{S}
 They picked someone else instead, and that was that.{S}
 I have regretted it ever since.{S}
 Ah, well, I should get back to my work.{S}
 Make yourself comfortable.{S}
 This will not do at all, will it?{S}
 May I have a moment of your time, dear?{S}
 Do you really think that is wise?{S}
 This is Andraste's house, I will have you know!{S}
 You find yourself in a burning tower.{S}
 You have found a templar that appears to be dreaming.{S}
 He may be linked to your way out. <emp>Find a way past the reinforced door</emp>{S}
 After you defeated the templar, he gave you the ability to switch into a different form.{S}
 You need to find some way to use either brute strength or trickery to destroy or circumvent this seemingly impenetrable barrier.{S}
 There is nothing left to do in this part of the Fade.{S}
 You have entered a darkspawn-infested nightmare.{S}
 There needs to be a way to "solve" this dream. <emp>Consult the templar for clues</emp>{S}
 You have found the spirit of a templar that is trapped in the Fade.{S}
 Perhaps he has clues to help you escape. <emp>Escape from the darkspawn nightmare</emp>{S}
 The templar has given you the ability to shift into a spirit form that allows you to see things that you normally could not.{S}
 You defeated a powerful darkspawn emissary and are done with this section of the Fade.{S}
 I have removed them from the library.{S}
 I was... advised it might be unwise to leave them where any apprentice may read them.{S}
 They will be put away somewhere very safe.{S}
 Why do you have books on blood magic on your desk?{S}
 Why do not you show me what you have got?{S}
 Keep it up, and you will need to part your hair to take a leak.{S}
 Someone get backup!{S}
 I am gonna rip you a new one!{S}
 Give me a hand!{S}
 Hold it!{S}
 I wonder what Cook's making?{S}
 Get moving.{S}
 I would not try it.{S}
 You keep pushing me.{S}
 We will see who ends up bleeding.{S}
 I knew I should not have worn this undershirt.{S}
 I need to have a word with you.{S}
 Do not tempt fate.{S}
 You want to end your days in a cell?{S}
 Keep it up.{S}
 Then I give you my word.{S}
 You could get out of here with us.{S}
 You could take your phylactery back from your hunters, if you wish.{S}
 You have so much power.{S}
 Once you are free... they would not be able to stop you.{S}
 My phylactery has been taken to Denerim.{S}
 You find yourself in a grim copy of the Circle Tower.{S}
 You should investigate this nightmare. <emp>Find a way past the flame barrier</emp>{S}
 Somewhere else in the Fade, you need to find something that will allow you to get by this barrier. <emp>Explore more of the nightmare</emp>{S}
 You have safely passed through the flame barrier.{S}
 You have found a cursed mage who is being tortured by Chantry priests.{S}
 Perhaps if you assist him, he can help you further. <emp>Put the golem form to use</emp>{S}
 The cursed mage has given you the ability to turn into a golem.{S}
 You have killed the hunger demon at the center of this nightmare.{S}
 Done{S}
 - Killed Archdemon - No Deal with Morrigan{S}
 - Killed Archdemon - Deal with Morrigan{S}
 - Killed Archdemon - No deal with Morrigan{S}
 Give me a full party{S}
 No one has to know you were involved.{S}
 When Lily and I are gone, they will blame us for any damage caused.{S}
 I am not leaving the tower and I do not want trouble.{S}
 I have no idea!{S}
 You do not think he is involved in this, do you?{S}
 Oh dear... have you seen him?{S}
 Where is the Grey Warden? <emp>Get through the templar's nightmare</emp>{S}
 You have found yourself in a nightmarish version of the Circle Tower that appears to confirm all of a templar's worst fears about mages.{S}
 Perhaps getting through this nightmare will help you get out of the Fade.{S}
 I do not look forward to it.{S}
 Here is to hoping you can do the same.{S}
 We now have a dog and Alistair is still the dumbest one in the party.{S}
 So many comments come to mind I cannot even begin to choose...{S}
 And yet we still have Alistair along... <desc>He whines sadly and walks away.</desc>{S}
 Some of you were friends, companions... some of you even loved her. <emp>Get through the templar's nightmare</emp>{S}
 Unfortunately you were unable to reach him in time, and he has succumbed to the nightmare. <emp>Get through the templar's nightmare</emp>{S}
 You have defeated a pride demon at the center of the templar's nightmare.{S}
 We can not get in.{S}
 That door probably leads to another part of the repository.{S}
 I will take any chance I can get.{S}
 We can not get into the chamber the way we planned, but we are not about to give up.{S}
 Let us hope they haven't warded that door as well.{S}
 Then let us pray the Maker smiles on us.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Do you think it is another way in?{S}
 Do not give up!{S}
 Do we have a choice?{S}
 The rod will work on <emp>those</emp> locks, should not it?{S}
 It is worth a try.{S}
 If you find something powerful, you might be able to knock it down.</desc>{S}
 It is quicker this way and I think this door can be opened from the inside.{S}
 I can not wait to get out of here.{S}
 We can see where this door leads, but I do not think it will be easy... it looks locked, for one.{S}
 Get 'em!{S}
 Did you take anything important from the repository?{S}
 But your antics have made a mockery of this Circle!{S}
 Ah... what are we to do with you?{S}
 Did not I put that away two years ago?{S}
 I will be taking that back now, if you do not mind.{S}
 Yes, this staff, and you can have it back if you like. <emp>Escape from the darkspawn nightmare</emp>{S}
 Using the golem form, you bashed down the door to go further into the nightmare.{S}
 Defeating all the demons may lead you to the sloth demon that controls them and keeps you captive. <emp>Escape the Fade</emp>{S}
 You have defeated many demons and successfully navigated the perilous dream world of the Fade.{S}
 Have you opened the way?{S}
 Choose who is king / queen.{S}
 Have all people possible in epilogue.{S}
 The sarcophagus is already open.</desc> <desc>Sigh</desc> You again.{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 Do not think I will take kindly to your intrusion just because your one of my kind.{S}
 Name's Dwyn.{S}
 Dulin Forender, Harrowmont's man, can be found at the Harrowmont estate.{S}
 But teaching is <emp>so</emp> exhausting.{S}
 You have so much to learn about the Fade, little mortal.{S}
 Teach him.{S}
 This is a Glory Proving, fought under the watchful eyes of the Paragons of Orzammar for our honored guests, the Grey Wardens.{S}
 She has made her vows, but not completed her blooding.{S}
 The warrior Everd, son of Galten, will fight last year's Journeyman Division champion Adalbo, proven in glory before the Stone.{S}
 It was over so fast we did not even have time to get over there.{S}
 But our main objective is to find Tamlen, of course.{S}
 I know some of our old magic, as the Keeper does, and I will know about these relics if I see them.{S}
 How much of our lore do you know?{S}
 You freed Morrigan from the clutches of a demon pretending to be her mother, Flemeth.{S}
 You persuaded him to leave his friends to come with you, but appear to have lost him somewhere along the way.{S}
 Wynne was caught in a nightmare, surrounded by the dead bodies of the apprentices she had failed to save.{S}
 Hopefully, you will find her again soon.{S}
 Lord Meino's men have taken this tunnel.{S}
 I did.{S}
 In the months that followed his coronation, Alistair surprised many by studying the art of governance and doing his best to rule the kingdom with a fair and even hand.{S}
 He proved quite popular with the people, his humor and easy grace winning them over as much as his willingness to sneak out of the castle and mingle in the lower-class taverns on occasion. <FirstName/>, as Alistair's chancellor, was a regular face at court--at least for a time.{S}
 Alistair deferred to his advisor's judgment on most matters, and when the king traveled away from the capital, as he did often, he was more than willing to leave the throne entirely in <FirstName/>'s hands.{S}
 In the months that followed their wedding, Alistair and Anora fell into the routine of ruling Ferelden.{S}
 Anora was a skilled governor, adept at matters of court and more than willing to spend her time judging matters of law from the throne... and Alistair was quite happy to let her do so.{S}
 He traveled frequently, making personal appearances that delighted commoners to no end.{S}
 In the months that followed his coronation, Alistair proved to be a popular king... if largely unwilling to involve himself in matters of governing.{S}
 He traveled often, making appearances in towns throughout Ferelden to the great delight of the commoners.{S}
 They referred to him as a king with the "common touch," even if a few knew it was a simple aversion to life at court. <FirstName/>, as Alistair's chancellor, was the face most often seen at court.{S}
 In truth, the chancellor ruled the nation, and did so with King Alistair's blessing.{S}
 News that the Urn of Sacred Ashes had been found in Ferelden did not spread outside the Chantry until Brother Genitivi made an announcement several months after the defeat of the darkspawn.{S}
 Attempts to verify Brother Genitivi's claims, however, proved impossible.{S}
 Agents of the Chantry sent into the mountains found little more than empty ruins.{S}
 Several years later, Genitivi's research was declared fiction and his work discredited.{S}
 When the next snows began to fall, the high dragon of the temple made its first appearance in the skies over Ferelden.{S}
 As it laid waste to the countryside in its rampage, rumors began to circulate of a strange cult that believed this was Andraste returned.{S}
 Efforts to locate the dragon's lair failed, and no connection was made to the Urn of Sacred Ashes, while the cult rapidly gained converts.{S}
 Following months of grim effort, the templars cleared the last remaining spirits from the Circle Tower, making it safe to rebuild a home for Ferelden's Circle of Magi.{S}
 His spirit broken, Irving allowed himself to be sent to the Circle of Val Royeaux in Orlais, where he served as an administrator for the remainder of his days.{S}
 He ruled the Circle with fear.{S}
 All that could be saved had been.{S}
 With a new bann in the Landsmeet to represent them, the city-born elves found a better lot than ever.{S}
 New law gave the elves more trading rights and their own militia within the Alienage.{S}
 The resulting riot in the Alienage forced a crack-down from the throne, a clear signal that the tension with the elves had not been resolved.{S}
 A year later, Soris's marriage to a wealthy human woman caused a scandal in both parts of the city--resulting in a riot within the Alienage that forced a crack-down from the throne.{S}
 No new bann was named to replace him.{S}
 With <FirstName/> as their new voice, the elves became prosperous in a way they had never known... enough to draw elves from nearby lands, desperate for real hope.{S}
 The influx built ire among the human population and eventually resulted in a riot in Denerim, showing that as much as things change, they always stay the same.{S}
 The new king even named the local elder to his personal court--a scandal amongst the humans, but a sign of new hope to the elves.{S}
 Soris eventually got married--to a human woman, and one he loves deeply.{S}
 After the initial scandal, Soris left the city and settled in Highever, where he and his new wife had many children.{S}
 Distrusted by his fellow elves, Soris eventually left them and after a great deal of travel joined a thieves' guild in Orlais.{S}
 Shianni continued to be an outspoken member of the Alienage community, and in time became the new elder.{S}
 That outspokenness earned her frequent trouble, but served her people well.{S}
 Arl Eamon eventually returned to Redcliffe, beginning the long task of rebuilding.{S}
 The village was a ruin, however, and rumors that it was haunted kept people from returning in numbers.{S}
 He named the child Rowan, after his own sister, and raised her with a loving hand.{S}
 When she began to exhibit affinity for magic at a young age, he gave her over to the Circle for training--but continued to visit her and loved her no less than before.{S}
 After a frantic search, he was eventually given up for lost.{S}
 Arl Eamon returned to Redcliffe, beginning the long task of rebuilding.{S}
 He found the village already bustling and eager to leave behind the memories of those terrible nights facing the undead.{S}
 Teagan ruled over Redcliffe in his stead, and was surprised to find himself well-loved by the villagers, who were still grateful for the nights he spent defending their lives.{S}
 One of his favorite stories to tell companions was how, as a young lad, he met <FirstName/>, who used his father's blade to save Redcliffe and then passed it back.{S}
 Try though she might, the Lady of the Forest could not entirely suppress the werewolves' animal nature, nor her own... and eventually the curse spread into nearby human settlements.{S}
 The werewolf populations swelled, until finally the army of Ferelden was called in to deal with the threat permanently.{S}
 Many a werewolf died, but when the soldiers arrived at the old Dalish camp, they found it abandoned.{S}
 The Dalish elves prospered after the siege at Denerim, having earned much respect for their part in the battle.{S}
 In time, many of the Dalish clans moved to the new land provided for them in the south near Ostagar.{S}
 Wary of their human neighbors, however, tensions soon rose again... and only Keeper Lanaya's leadership kept peace alive.{S}
 Zathrian remained keeper of his clan for many years more, until finally he realized that the world was changing too quickly for him to keep pace.{S}
 The Dalish searched for him, but it was obvious that he had left of his own volition and did not intend to return.{S}
 In time, many Dalish clans moved to the new land provided for them in the south near Ostagar.{S}
 In Orzammar, King Bhelen quickly proved himself a reformer.{S}
 The casteless were permitted to take arms against the darkspawn in exchange for new freedoms.{S}
 When the first human armies arrived from Ferelden, King Bhelen welcomed them with open arms.{S}
 Bhelen's reforms quickly found him enemies within the warrior and noble castes, however, and after several assassination attempts, the Assembly was dissolved.{S}
 The king then ruled alone--some said as a tyrant, others said as a visionary determined to drag Orzammar into the modern world.{S}
 In Orzammar, King Harrowmont quickly put down Bhelen's rebellion and then passed a series of laws to please the clan lords.{S}
 When the first human armies arrived from Ferelden, they found themselves blocked at the city gates.{S}
 Harrowmont feared the disruption the humans would cause and permitted only limited aid in the form of equipment and herbal medicines.{S}
 A new house was founded in his name, and so many casteless flocked to its banner that it became one of the largest in the city.{S}
 They quickly attracted a great deal of anger from more conservative quarters, and before long the Assembly severely restricted the Andrastians' rights.{S}
 The Assembly claimed this was an accident, but news of the resulting riots reached the Chantry on the surface, where the Divine even contemplated a new Exalted March.{S}
 It gained a great deal of attention.{S}
 This inspired mages from other parts of Thedas to establish a new Circle of Magi in Orzammar itself, one that had ready access to dwarven lyrium... and lies outside the Chantry's power completely.{S}
 The willingness of Orzammar to harbor apostates sparked outrage that began whispers that the Divine was contemplating a new Exalted March.{S}
 It was not long before Branka mastered Caridin's technique, learning how to use the Anvil of the Void to create new golems--the first in many centuries.{S}
 At first, King Bhelen worked eagerly with Branka to provide subjects--willing or not--so that the golems could push the darkspawn back.{S}
 Before long, Branka began to refuse to create golems only for the king, who soon banned use of the Anvil.{S}
 Someone of Morrigan's description was seen traveling alone months later, heading west through the Frostback Mountains... and she may even have been with child.{S}
 The ring that Morrigan gave <FirstName/> remained in his possession.{S}
 She had once claimed that it formed a connection between the two, and there came a night when he was sure that she was thinking of him... somewhere.{S}
 As for the Grey Wardens, Alistair was as good as his word: The arling of Amaranthine was given to the order, and a new headquarters established there.{S}
 A statue of <FirstName/> towers over its entrance, in memory of one who made the ultimate sacrifice so that others might live. <FirstName/>'s remains were transported with a full honor guard to the Grey Warden fortress of Weisshaupt in the Anderfels.{S}
 There they were installed in the tomb alongside those of the four others who have made that same sacrifice to defeat a Blight.{S}
 Wynne remained in service to the throne of Ferelden for a time, politely refusing the position of first enchanter when it was offered to her.{S}
 His honor had been restored, and when fellow qunari asked if there were worthy people outside Par Vollen, Sten would answer that in all his travels he had only met a single one.{S}
 Oghren accepted a position as a general in the army of Ferelden, the first dwarf ever promoted so high, and eventually both sobered up and married.{S}
 When his first daughter was born, Oghren held her in his arms and wept--and named her after the friend who had changed his life so long ago.{S}
 Zevran traveled for a time, trying to remain as far from the Crows as possible.{S}
 When they finally came for him, Zevran elected to take the fight to their doorstep, returning to Antiva.{S}
 He performed diligently for several years, until finally the taint wore too hard on his aged body.{S}
 After a solemn service with his fellow Wardens, Loghain traveled to Orzammar to take his final march into the Deep Roads.{S}
 Zevran lingered in Denerim for a time, mourning the loss of his love and working for the Fereldan throne as a distraction.{S}
 Eventually the Crows came after him once again and he elected to take the fight to their doorstep, returning to Antiva.{S}
 He maintained a distance from his former comrades even then, and despite frequent offers of new bedmates, never loved again.{S}
 Oghren accepted a position as a general in the army of Ferelden, the first dwarf ever promoted so high, and eventually both sobered up and married.{S}
 When his first son was born, Oghren held him in his arms and wept--and named him after the friend who had changed his life so long ago.{S}
 As for the Grey Wardens, Anora was as good as her word: The arling of Amaranthine was given to the order, and a new headquarters established there.{S}
 A statue of <FirstName/> towers over its entrance, in memory of one who made the ultimate sacrifice so that others might live.{S}
 Alistair was true to his word and did not return to the Grey Wardens.{S}
 He was last seen, before the siege, hiring a Rivaini ship to take him out of Denerim.{S}
 An attempted coup to overthrow Anora a year later borrowed Alistair's name, but no proof of Alistair's involvement was ever supplied.{S}
 A haggard, drunken man was seen in a tavern in Starkhaven, bitterly claiming to have once been a Grey Warden and prince... but drunken men are not so rare.{S}
 When <FirstName/> finally left Denerim to continue her travels, Leliana went with her, electing to remain with the woman she loved.{S}
 They continued their adventures together--at least for a time.{S}
 When <FirstName/> finally left Denerim to continue his travels, Leliana went with him, electing to remain with the man she loved.{S}
 They continued their adventures together--at least for a time.{S}
 Leliana and <FirstName/> returned to the Grey Wardens, helping to rebuild the order for a time, then joining an effort to investigate the darkspawn's remaining secrets.{S}
 When <FirstName/> finally left Denerim to continue her travels, Zevran went with her, electing to remain with the woman he loved.{S}
 They continued their adventures together--at least for a time.{S}
 When <FirstName/> finally left Denerim to continue his travels, Zevran went with him, electing to remain with the man he loved.{S}
 They continued their adventures together--at least for a time.{S}
 Zevran returned with <FirstName/> to the Grey Wardens, helping to recruit and train new members even though he never officially joined the order.{S}
 The companions who had traveled with <FirstName/> eventually scattered to the four winds, drawn either by personal duty or by the call to further adventure.{S}
 The companions who had traveled with <FirstName/> eventually scattered to the four winds, drawn either by personal duty or the call to further adventure.{S}
 The Grey Wardens welcomed their hero back into the fold--even if the suspicions of those who wondered how <FirstName/> managed to survive were sometimes given quiet voice.{S}
 The companions who had traveled with <FirstName/> eventually scattered to the four winds, drawn either by personal duty or the call to further adventure.{S}
 As the blighted lands began to heal and the Grey Wardens slowly rebuilt the order in Amaranthine, they discovered that the fight against the darkspawn was not yet complete.{S}
 Although the horde was routed and had dissolved upon the archdemon's death, many of the more powerful darkspawn survived to organize roving war bands that preyed both upon the land and upon each other.{S}
 They proved incredibly difficult to wipe out.{S}
 The tale of <FirstName/> ended when she sank the blade into the archdemon's head and destroyed it forever.{S}
 The tale of <FirstName/> ended when he sank the blade into the archdemon's head and destroyed it forever.{S}
 But these are tales yet to be told. <emp>This</emp> tale ended when <FirstName/> sank her blade in the archdemon's head and destroyed it forever.{S}
 But these are tales yet to be told. <emp>This</emp> tale ended when <FirstName/> sank his blade in the archdemon's head and destroyed it forever.{S}
 Flemeth's hut in the Korcari Wilds was likewise abandoned.{S}
 One cannot help but wonder: Where did they go?{S}
 True to her word, Morrigan vanished the same night she made her offer at Redcliffe Castle.{S}
 Someone of Morrigan's description was later seen traveling alone, heading west through the Frostback Mountains... and she may even have been with child.{S}
 Initially, King Harrowmont was more than willing to provide volunteers for Branka.{S}
 The golems were sorely needed to crush Bhelen's rebellion, after all, and they did so with success.{S}
 But eventually, Harrowmont declared that no new dwarven souls could be used on the Anvil.{S}
 The unending need for golems in the Deep Roads, however, gave rise to secret surface raids to kidnap humans and elves for the mad Paragon.{S}
 Branka insists, of course, that the raids on the surface continue.{S}
 A new golem was created, bound with a spirit taken from the Fade.{S}
 A new house was founded in her name, and so many casteless flocked to its banner that it became one of the largest in the city.{S}
 He was buried in the earth beneath Orzammar next to his father--his Aeducan name restored.{S}
 She was buried in the earth beneath Orzammar next to her father--her Aeducan name restored.{S}
 A new statue was erected in the Commons and a new house founded in the Paragon's name, quickly drawing a great number of followers from every caste.{S}
 In time, Harrowmont's health began to fail.{S}
 The wrangling in the Assembly for a successor began almost immediately.{S}
 In Orzammar, King Harrowmont found himself in a protracted battle against Bhelen's rebellion that left him unable to gain the stability he needed.{S}
 The clan lords objected to many of his measures in the Assembly, and only his efforts to increase the dwarves' isolation from the surface met with any success.{S}
 As for the werewolves, now freed of their curse, they remained together and took the surname Wolf in memory of what they once were.{S}
 They eventually became the most successful animal trainers in Thedas, and each year would gather to light a candle in memory of the Lady who had loved them so well.{S}
 Bella, the tavern wench, made it to Denerim safely.{S}
 With the money she was given, she opened a brewery of her own.{S}
 The young woman Kaitlyn eventually made it to Denerim safely, and used the small fortune she received for her father's sword to open a foundry while the city rebuilt.{S}
 The foundry did well, turning her into a wealthy and respected woman.{S}
 By chance, she met Teagan again at court--and within months, the two of them married.{S}
 Amongst the city-born elves of Denerim, things remained as they always had.{S}
 The rumors of slave traders working secretly in the shadows persisted until riots in the Alienage forced the throne to intervene.{S}
 Some years later, the Chantry announced that the resting place of Andraste's Ashes had indeed been found.{S}
 They were located, however, in ruins that were also the lair of a high dragon, thus proving too dangerous to approach.{S}
 Many made demands to secure the Ashes so that followers could undertake pilgrimages to partake of their healing powers.{S}
 Following numerous failed attempts to deal with the dragon, the beast finally flew off to find another haven... but leaving the mountaintop sanctum in ruins.{S}
 An excavation found no traces of the Urn.{S}
 People began to doubt that the Ashes had ever been found, while others claimed that a cult of Andraste's followers stole them from the temple.{S}
 Some years later, the Chantry announced that the resting place of Andraste's Ashes had indeed been found.{S}
 Rumors that the Urn of Sacred Ashes had been found, and that it was used to heal Arl Eamon of his poisoning, circulated in Ferelden in the months following the darkspawn defeat... slowly, at first, and then with growing frequency as the grand cleric failed to deny them.{S}
 Once the Chantry made several attempts to verify the rumors, however, there came an official decree that no resting place for the Ashes had been found.{S}
 If the Urn of Sacred Ashes was in those ruins once, it was no longer. <FirstName/> married King Alistair in a lavish ceremony six months after his coronation, becoming the princess-consort of Ferelden.{S}
 As both their savior and new ruler, she proved incredibly popular among the people, and Alistair allowed his bride a great deal of leeway to act as she wished. <FirstName/> married King Alistair in a lavish ceremony six months after his coronation, becoming the princess-consort of Ferelden.{S}
 In the months that followed her coronation, Anora proved herself an adept ruler.{S}
 Trade agreements with other lands quickly brought new funds into the royal coffers, and with them, the queen saw the capital rebuilt.{S}
 The army was restored, laws were passed to encourage freeholders to produce sufficient harvests, and plans were conceived for a university. <FirstName/> married Queen Anora in a lavish ceremony six months after her coronation, becoming the prince-consort of Ferelden.{S}
 Many said that if the two did not end up vying for control of the throne, they would usher in a new golden age not seen since King Calenhad first united the barbarian tribes.{S}
 Queen Anora conferred with her chancellor over matters of state, and it was easy to see that the former Grey Warden had great sway over the kingdom's rule.{S}
 Yes, why did not you, Jowan?{S}
 The two of them made numerous outings into Denerim and the other settlements in Ferelden, supervising the reconstruction process and greeting their subjects personally, much to the commoners' enthusiastic approval.{S}
 Do you realize it is in the way and that the patrols will not be able to come through?{S}
 I could not even set up shop in my usual place.{S}
 Th-they said the... the servants needed to polish the floors of that side of the Commons, in preparation for the new commander's first commission!{S}
 I do not want to inconvenience anyone.{S}
 You keep your hands off my goods.{S}
 I can not even unpack my things and set up shop here.{S}
 Who does that Aeducan commander think he is, stopping commerce just to have the floors cleaned? <desc>Sighs</desc> I wish I was important enough that people would polish the floors before I walked on them.{S}
 Move it, or I shall have it thrown out in the Deep Roads, and you with it!{S}
 Keep your hands to yourself, brand.{S}
 I will not have you harassing honest merchants.{S}
 I am thankful that you did.{S}
 Wynne, I am sure you were instrumental in bringing peace to the tower, and you have always been a respected member of the Circle.{S}
 The Circle will be in need of a first enchanter.{S}
 Ah, Greagoir, you only picked me because all the rest of the senior mages are either dead or otherwise incapacitated.{S}
 But I cannot accept this offer.{S}
 I wish to teach and to learn, and I will not spend the rest of my life tiptoeing around the Chantry.{S}
 I would, in fact, prefer to remain in the company of the Grey Warden, if she will have me.{S}
 The darkspawn must be taken down, and I wish to be there when it happens.{S}
 The Circle needs you.{S}
 Very well, join the Grey Warden, if it pleases you.{S}
 I will stay here for now; the wounded will need healing.{S}
 If ever you decide you need my help, I will be here.{S}
 I would, in fact, prefer to remain in the company of the Grey Warden, if he will have me.{S}
 I would rather you did not join me.{S}
 I have changed my mind.{S}
 I do not need your help.{S}
 We could certainly use a talented mage like yourself.{S}
 I do not know if we can take you along with us. <desc>Andraste loved Her disciples as She loved the Maker.{S}
 As we have faith in the Maker, so must we have faith in our friends.</desc>{S}
 Prince Bhelen is attending the feast being held in Lady Aeducan's honor.{S}

 What are you doing in my brother's quarters?{S}
 No harm done.{S}
 I do not care.{S}
 Gorim, tell her she may take her leave of me.{S}
 Now we just need to find a way to get through this wall.{S}
 You traveled to the Circle Tower on Lake Calenhad seeking aid from the Circle of Magi in the battle against the Blight.{S}
 However, on your arrival you learned that the tower had been overrun by abominations and demons.{S}
 Out of desperation, the templars have sealed the tower, trapping not only the abominations and demons, but also most of the mages, inside.{S}
 You volunteered to help the templars deal with the problem.{S}
 I will show you what I do with thieves!{S}
 I will have to speak with the grand cleric about this.{S}
 They do not even make good food here in the palace.{S}
 You are not going to keep the first enchanter waiting, are you?{S}
 Then it is a good thing that you have other paths before you.{S}
 I do not think I could bear such a difficult life.{S}
 It gained a great deal of attention.{S}
 Elder Miriam's note suggests that looking for elfroot will aid in making the lesser health poultices.{S}

 Keep out of trouble.{S}
 Might I have a word?{S}
 There is nothing to do here but wait and hope for the best.{S}

 You do?{S}
 You make it sound easy.{S}
 Do I strike it as servile?{S}

 For the sake of this discussion, let us say I am.{S}
 The bandits preying on innocent refugees have been run off or killed by the invading darkspawn.{S}
 You have met a fence named Slim Couldry who says he can give you good tips on people to rob. <emp>Rob the maid in the market</emp>{S}
 You have been told there is a lady's maid in the market wearing a green dress.{S}
 With a pouch of gems belonging to her mistress, she is ripe for the picking.{S}
 Ser Nancine is browsing the Wonders of Thedas shop and has an expensive, fancy sword on her.{S}
 He has a key to his silver wares that are locked up tight in his stall.{S}
 You need to find a way past his two guards to get the key.{S}
 Loghain's seneschal is getting the teyrn's crown polished for the Landsmeet.{S}
 If you can find a way to steal his crown, you will be legendary.{S}
 You have defied all odds and stolen Teryn Loghain's crown.{S}
 It does not have to be like that.{S}
 I have also heard you have certain... skills.{S}
 You should find many objects of value waiting for you there, if you can break into it.{S}
 Arl Howe has been stealing silver bars from the city treasury.{S}
 Crates of silver are being held temporarily in a warehouse right in the marketplace.{S}
 Your objective is to locate the silver and take as much of it as you can. <emp>A Fistful of Silver</emp>{S}
 You got a small fortune worth of silver bars from the warehouse.{S}
 Slim has given you a key that bypasses the magical defenses of his estate and will let you break in to rob the bann. <emp>The Private Collection</emp>{S}
 Bann Franderel set a trap for you, but you fought your way out.{S}
 Slim Couldry owes you an explanation.{S}
 Used to do a bit of second story work, in my day.{S}
 Slim Couldry has left after his disastrous last tip.{S}
 Slim has returned and has information on how to get back at Bann Franderel.{S}
 You will enter his house through a chimney and make your way to the wine cellar.{S}
 There should be a secret door in that room that leads to the real vault. <emp>The Tears of Andraste</emp>{S}
 You managed to get the Tears of Andraste from Bann Franderel's estate.{S}
 The Tears of Andraste have been delivered to the chantry.{S}
 Your highly successful crime spree with Slim is at an end. <emp>The Tears of Andraste</emp>{S}
 You decided to keep the Tears of Andraste for yourself instead of giving it to the Chantry.{S}
 Your highly successful crime spree with Slim is at an end.{S}
 Slim Couldry has returned and he is offering one final mission.{S}
 That does not change the facts, does it?{S}
 I do not think anything's supposed to be easy about being a king.{S}
 Friends until the end.{S}
 I am not giving up so easily.{S}
 Couldry's valuable tip was for Lady Sophie's bedroom in the Gnawed Noble Tavern, a place you have already broken into.{S}
 He says he will do better next time. <emp>The Absent Mistress</emp>{S}
 You got the... tavern... staff?{S}
 Give me another chance.{S}
 And I need you for...?{S}
 You have come to the Circle of Magi seeking the help of the mages.{S}
 Unfortunately, the Circle is in a state of chaos, the templars have locked the tower, and you have been sent in to investigate.{S}
 You have somehow become the thrall of a sloth demon and have been trapped in the Fade.{S}
 Franderel's estate was almost deserted and it was easy getting to the treasure room.{S}
 You will have to fight or sneak your way out now.{S}
 You have killed all three of the bandit groups north of Lothering.{S}
 Need anything ol' Slim can deliver for you?{S}
 Already taken care of.{S}
 I bet they were surprised when that was dropped in their lap!{S}
 Did you deliver the Tears yet?{S}
 No, relics like that just do not appear out of nowhere!{S}
 Actually, I would prefer to keep them.{S}
 You helped all the villagers who had notices on the chanter's board.{S}
 The scroll directs you against a man named Paedan currently holed up in the The Pearl brothel in Denerim.{S}
 He is working some kind of scam in the back room, and you should look for one of his "Grey Warden Posters" around the marketplace to gain access.{S}
 Paedan works for Loghain and will no doubt have backup.{S}
 I still can not believe we made it through that battle in one piece.{S}
 It would have been impossible without you.{S}
 I do not think I will ever understand what those things were.{S}
 And I do not want to.{S}
 The battles are not done yet.{S}
 Surely the king is doing something about it!{S}
 You know, with you here, maybe we got a chance to win tonight after all.{S}
 I hear the tavern is serving free ale for us.{S}
 I do not know why Bann Teagan did not order Dwyn to fight.{S}
 Everyone should have to fight!{S}
 Slim Couldry has returned and offered you one final mission.{S}
 Everyone says you have saved the arl, and I surely do not doubt it.{S}
 I hope the village will make it through all this.{S}
 I am proud to have seen you fight.{S}
 Let us hope we see daylight!{S}
 I see we have a thief in our midst.{S}
 Those creatures haven't done us in, yet.{S}
 Get out of my sight.{S}
 We got fighting to do, here.{S}
 I do not want to be sober when those... things come.{S}
 I do not know what we would've done if Owen hadn't re-opened the smithy.{S}
 Someone besides Owen must know how to use the forge.{S}
 It will be good having someone like him fighting with us.{S}
 I do not know what we would've done without you.{S}
 I do not doubt that we have you to thank for everything.{S}
 The Maker must have sent you.{S}
 Have to be thankful for that.{S}
 I am keeping an eye on you.{S}
 I have got a good feeling about tonight.{S}
 We could use all the help we can get.{S}
 I say we all go to the tavern and get drunk.{S}
 He was giving me some pointers earlier.{S}
 I hope we make it through the night.{S}
 I do not want a surprise attack before the sun goes down.{S}
 What should we do until then?{S}
 The whole surface to choose from, and you just <emp>happened</emp> to come to my tavern?{S}
 But lords keep sending me more of them.{S}
 It is decent pay, no expectations, a uniform.{S}
 It is good to have the arl back.{S}
 We have you to thank for everything!{S}
 We could not take another night of this.{S}
 Get them!{S}
 I never thought we would have to worry about thieves at a time like this.{S}
 We have enough men, and I know we can defend our home.{S}
 I should have left when I could.{S}
 I do not know what we would do if he wasn't helping us.{S}
 Does not Owen know that he will die too, if we die?{S}
 I do not know if I will live to see the sun rise.{S}
 You know we do not have the men we need.{S}
 And their numbers just keep on growing each night.{S}
 Well, sure, they take the dead and they... you know...{S}
 I do not want to think about that.{S}
 So what can we do?{S}
 Try to get out of the village?{S}
 And abandon everyone?{S}
 We have no other choice.{S}
 What can I get for you?{S}
 And do not say mead.{S}
 And do not say rum, either.{S}
 And do not say brandy.{S}
 The ancestors must have a sense of humor, then.{S}
 It is the only sodding place to get a drink for miles.{S}
 When did you run out of brandy?{S}
 We got it from a shady Orlesian trader, and I think it might really be turpentine.{S}
 Have you seen how desperate people are now?{S}
 Some ran out of coin, and started paying in food, chickens, whatever they had.{S}
 We have got something you could <emp>call</emp> ale, if you do not look too closely at it.{S}
 And you had your tongue cut out by the Chasind.{S}
 Well, what did she say?{S}
 I am gonna go talk to her.{S}
 Look, you gotta back me up here, got it?{S}
 Just... follow my lead, you know?{S}
 You haven't met her, I take it.{S}
 What do you mean, "back you up?"{S}
 Let me talk to her first.{S}
 She might be married now.{S}
 You can handle her on your own.{S}
 I need tables cleaned, girl!{S}
 I will find you the good ale.{S}
 Just take that duster out of here.{S}
 I do not want to look at him.{S}
 I have got a customer!{S}
 Your name's Felsi?{S}
 What is a dwarf doing working in a bar in Lothering?{S}
 I do not lean that way, sorry.{S}
 And you need some hair on your chest.{S}
 Does your husband work in the tavern, too?{S}
 Same as I would be doing anywhere: earning coin.{S}
 Someone's got to take care of the old bronto. <desc>Laughs</desc> Husband?{S}
 You haven't been in town long, have you?{S}
 You would think this whole town was a Chantry cloister, for all the real men you find here.{S}
 Sorry, I just do not see many other dwarves these days.{S}
 You do not smell drunk.{S}
 Get kicked in the head by a bronto, did you? <desc>Laughs</desc> No?{S}
 So what <emp>did</emp> you mean, then?{S}
 You do not happen to know a fellow named Oghren, do you?{S}
 You could do better in Denerim. <desc>Laughs</desc> I am from Orzammar.{S}
 I will stay as long as the tavern's open.{S}
 That will not work!{S}
 Just hold on.{S}
 Err--can I have a moment?{S}
 Keep your bleeding distance.{S}
 We will fight if we have to.{S}
 Nice to meet you.{S}
 Hold on!{S}
 You would get in so much trouble with the templars.{S}
 Let us show these bastards a thing or two!{S}
 Hold together, we can win this.{S}
 First whorehouse I find I am going to get busy.{S}
 Until we meet again.{S}
 You may want to work on that.{S}
 Oh, just give me an excuse.{S}
 Did you hear that?{S}
 Try that again and I will break your arm.{S}
 Keep 'em coming!{S}
 I have trained under Captain Phereson.{S}
 If I had not fought beside you, I would have half a mind to agree with them.{S}
 We defeat one evil only to have a greater one lying on the horizon.{S}
 We may yet make it through the night victorious.{S}
 I would abandon the village, if I could, and tell the others to do the same.{S}
 Have you seen the great stone creature helping us?{S}
 The militiamen are getting more inebriated with each passing hour.{S}
 What would you like to do...{S}
 Set Infamy in lothering{S}
 I know we owe you a great deal, but you are a scoundrel.{S}
 The knights of Redcliffe will never forget the service you have done for us and our arl.{S}
 I have no doubt that it is because of you we have survived this night, and emerged victorious.{S}
 I dread to think of what might have happened, had you not arrived when you did.{S}
 We have all our preparations underway.{S}
 Alas, I wish we could do more for these poor folk.{S}
 Perhaps you will make a difference.{S}
 We need to prepare ourselves for the coming battle.{S}
 The Maker has blessed us.{S}
 I hope setting those creatures alight works... and kills them quickly, before they stumble into the wood and thatch of the houses.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Some have spoken of the darkspawn rising to the south.{S}
 We could save this village only to have it invaded in a matter of weeks.{S}
 You will never make it out alive!{S}
 Could I perchance have a word?{S}
 We have a sword or two on you, friend.{S}
 I can not take much more...{S}
 Just give us an excuse, stranger.{S}
 You gonna die! <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I am gonna make you hurt real bad!{S}
 Keep hands off me.{S}
 The tavern keeper is letting the militia drink as much ale as they please, and is asking for no payment.{S}
 This will start the epilogue with the current flags.{S}
 (Advanced Setup) - Start Epilogue{S}
 Did you have to bring his name up?{S}
 I just ate!{S}
 I told you, I have got a customer!{S}
 Could not you make more money if you worked in Denerim?{S}
 I would rather take my chance with something else.{S}
 Have you <emp>met</emp> Oghren?{S}
 No, all is still, as it has been for days.{S}
 No sane man should have to pay for the watered down swill they serve.{S}
 How many ales have I had, anyway?{S}
 Folks here really appreciate everything you have done.{S}
 I still can not believe we made it through the night in one piece.{S}
 Time to remember all the good the Maker provided us.{S}
 Can not say the bastard did not deserve it.{S}
 Creatures would've gotten him, anyhow.{S}
 At least this way I will not lose what little coin I have, aye?{S}
 I hear they got everyone in the castle and now everyone who died here, too.{S}
 Whoa there... you do not see one of those stomping around every day, now do you?{S}
 H-how did you cure the arl, eh?{S}
 We heard you used the Ashes of Andraste.{S}
 Did you make it into a poultice?{S}
 Did you make him drink it?{S}
 I am glad I am still standing but... do I really deserve to be here when so many others have... gone?{S}
 It is going to be odd not having Lloyd behind the bar, yelling at the lot of us.{S}
 We have won, but I hear the darkspawn still advance.{S}
 Does that mean we have to evacuate the village anyhow?{S}
 I hear you are the one who got us free ale.{S}
 It is nice to know someone cares about our village.{S}
 Then the thing, it... leapt right on him, started chewing his face.{S}
 He started screaming, trying to push it off him, and I could not even help.{S}
 No matter how much ale I drink, I can not quite forget the sight of those creatures...{S}
 Eamon would have been devastated.{S}
 That idea has merit.{S}
 That will not work.{S}
 Give that back, I need that.{S}
 Hold a moment?{S}
 If this is a dream, I hope it does not turn into a nightmare.{S}
 I... uhh... would not do that.{S}
 We just come here to try and... forget what is happening.{S}
 Murdock do not like us being here, but what can he do about it?{S}
 He got drunk.{S}
 Took off his pants and challenged a roast nug to a wrestling match at my father's funeral.{S}
 The roast got him in an arm lock.{S}
 How did he lose to a piece of meat?{S}
 I got work to do.{S}
 I do not need to think about that sodding waste.{S}
 Beer do not serve itself, you know.{S}
 What in Andraste's name are you doing?{S}
 I have got to get back to work.{S}
 I will let you get back to work.{S}
 Did you expect any different?{S}
 Find out how much she misses old Oghren, or who I have to kill, and then I will go sweep her off her feet.{S}
 What do you mean?{S}
 I got something in my beard?{S}
 My trousers are open?{S}
 Go get her.{S}
 Here we are defending the village, and he do not even have the decency to help us out!{S}
 If you ever need a bodyguard...{S}
 I think I am done watching that dwarf's back.{S}
 Who cares what they were.{S}
 We better get out of town before those things come back.{S}
 You got us out here, did not you.{S}
 Dwyn's worked out free drinks for us before.{S}
 But this time, I do not know.{S}
 Makes me feel like a hero.{S}
 Who needs that dolt of a blacksmith?{S}
 We have better weapons than these fools do anyway.{S}
 I am just glad I got a steady job.{S}
 Threatened to take a pair of smithing tongs to... well, you get the idea. <desc>Sigh</desc> She always was cute when she was angry.{S}
 We do not want to make a scene here.{S}
 Well, do not pry her off me <emp>too soon</emp>.{S}
 What do you mean by that?{S}
 Go get her.{S}
 I may have mentioned your name.{S}
 So she is no call to hold a grudge!{S}
 Or whatever it is women do when they get their panties in a knot.{S}
 Once you have had Oghren, what merchant boy would do?{S}
 Did she say anything else?{S}
 And what do you say on this, Leliana?{S}
 With us, the qunari might do some good.{S}
 Take these keys to his cage, and Maker watch over you.{S}
 Let us not go crazy, here!{S}
 I am so sorry, your Reverence, but we are doing the Maker's work!{S}
 Take it and begone.{S}
 In the future, I would advise you to choose your companions more carefully.{S}
 Let us not get out of hand, here!{S}
 Let us take the qunari off your hands, I beg you!{S}
 Is this what we have come to?{S}
 I will not allow that to happen.{S}
 I have more important matters to concern me.{S}
 Here... take the key to the creature's cage and begone!{S}
 Do not return.{S}
 You have seen what passes for dwarves up here.{S}
 You do not think that is a joke?{S}
 Sure they do!{S}
 You have had a good look at Lady Helmi, haven't you?{S}
 If her face is not a joke the ancestors are playing, I am a bronto's behind.{S}
 So you mean you <emp>did not</emp> find another girl willing to put up with you pissing on the table?{S}
 It does not look like you found any priceless gems up here, yourself.{S}
 It is so nice to see everyone working together in a crisis.{S}
 Then kill him and take what you need.{S}
 All of these cretins would do the same in his shoes, given the chance.{S}
 A fine sentiment, if I have ever heard one.{S}
 I bet you make allies everywhere you go.{S}
 Must we make the lot of these poor people even harder?{S}
 And yet Alistair continues to tag along?{S}
 Sometimes you can get what you want and still not be very happy.{S}
 So... we have come to solve every squabble in the village, personally?{S}
 Truly the most sensible thing I have seen all day.{S}
 At least the shouting has stopped.{S}
 How awful that it has gotten like this.{S}
 And you want it back, I take it?{S}
 And if I knew who had such a thing?{S}
 What right did you have to interfere in the love those children held for each other?{S}
 They have to live with what you have done, now!{S}
 That is good; we need all the hunters we can get.{S}
 We had thought all the hunters in the forest had died.{S}
 I never thought I would hear of an outsider who would ever do anything for us.{S}
 I offer you greetings, lethallan.{S}
 I offer you greetings, lethallin.{S}
 Good, we could use all the hunters we can.{S}
 And now Deygan has died, too.{S}
 Elora says you have a way with the halla that she has not seen before.{S}
 Why you would ever do that, I do not understand.{S}
 I never thought an outsider would ever do anything for us.{S}
 You did?{S}
 I do not know what to say to that.{S}
 Do not worry about him.{S}
 I took care of it.{S}
 I can not afford that. <desc>Sigh</desc> I will give you that.{S}
 I haven't gotten saddled with another duster, either.{S}
 Let us get 'em.{S}
 Meet your death!{S}
 Well met.{S}
 Do not take another step.{S}
 It would never work.{S}
 You brought this on yourself.{S}
 Let us see your innards, you bastard.{S}
 You do not stand a chance.{S}
 I need help.{S}
 Will they just pay up, already.{S}
 My idiot brother could do better than that.{S}
 You do not want to mess with me.{S}
 What are you doing?{S}
 Hold on there a moment.{S}
 Fastest messenger in the city, you need it there quick then give me a holler!{S}
 Might I have a word?{S}
 The guard'll be on you if you do.{S}
 Prepare to die, fool.{S}
 We need to speak.{S}
 The Crows will have you.{S}
 Do it.{S}
 You have no honor.{S}
 We offer you a finer death than you deserve. ...fights... like a demon...{S}
 Hold there.{S}
 That has merit.{S}
 Do not seek to antagonize me.{S}
 Keep your hands to yourself, peasant.{S}
 I take no pleasure in this.{S}
 I have been thinkin' about you, Felsi. <act>Whisper to Oghren.</act> Tell her you have been thinking of her.{S}
 You do not miss Oghren just a little bit?{S}
 I haven't tried to hit him yet.{S}
 What do you want, Oghren?{S}
 You just got here.{S}
 Do not let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.{S}
 Go ahead and let it.{S}
 Just thought I would see how you were doing, is all.{S}
 Oh, you can not keep the archdemon waiting.{S}
 That is a long tale I do not have the time to tell.{S}
 Most of the lettering is faded, making it indecipherable.{S}
 The third shows an elf taking a single sip of water from the jug.{S}
 The last shows an elaborate doorway--perhaps opening or closing?{S}
 Oghren, I am sure I can speak for everyone when I say that there is nobody in Thedas who <emp>does not</emp> think about hitting you.{S}
 You keep saying that.{S}
 Can I have a word?{S}
 I would not count on that working out.{S}
 I hope you are not dumb enough to cause trouble.{S}
 Stone met!{S}
 Hey, I have got to talk to you.{S}
 Hey, that idea has some promise.{S}
 Would not pay two bits for that dumb idea.{S}
 Try not to cause trouble.{S}
 Do not like you.{S}
 Well, you have seen me.{S}
 You will have to go back to Orzammar for the bronto.{S}
 You told Ser Perth about the oil but convinced him not to use it.{S}
 It would probably cause more problems than it would solve.{S}
 Do not think you can do whatever you want just because you are some kind of hero.{S}
 Society has rules!{S}
 I am still working on the traps.{S}
 It is like you can read my mind.{S}
 This must be blood magic at work.{S}
 Well... you do not need to fight it right now, do you?{S}
 I mean, you could have a pint first.{S}
 Oh, the queen needed a new fool, did she?{S}
 I tell you what, I have got some things I gotta do, but I will come back for that pint when things're settled.{S}
 Fine, but you would better not keep me waiting, you worthless copper-plated sword-caste.{S}
 Go get her.{S}
 Let us get going.{S}
 You could try again.{S}
 Do not you know anything about women?{S}
 You gotta make them wait.{S}
 Play hard to get.{S}
 Still got it.{S}
 After this thing with the archdemon's over, I will have to pry the ladies off with pliers, I suppose.{S}
 Once this Blight thing's taken care of, the ladies'll be all over me like flies on a corpse.{S}
 A well-worn disciplinary classic.{S}
 Is it starting?!{S}
 It is starting!{S}
 What am I going to do!{S}
 T-that thing's not going to hold for much longer!{S}
 It is eating me!{S}
 It is eating me! <desc>Gurgles</desc>{S}
 I can not hold them back!{S}
 Get them away from me!{S}
 I have to get out of here!{S}
 They have messed with the wrong village!{S}
 We will fight for Redcliffe, and we will win! <desc>Hic</desc> At least I will not feel any pain when they eat my face...{S}
 I will try my best tonight, that is all I can promise.{S}
 I do not want to die!{S}
 Thank you, but I know I will not make it tonight.{S}
 I do not know why we have to fight each other?{S}
 Can not we just have a drink... talk it over?{S}
 I think that would work.{S}
 Let us celebrate, for tonight, we fight!{S}
 I think we can do this, tonight.{S}
 Have you seen my shoes?{S}
 I will need them for tonight.{S}
 I will fight, and die, for Redcliffe if I have to.{S}
 This ale gives me magical powers!{S}
 Got a good feeling about tonight.{S}
 I could get used to that.{S}
 I got one!{S}
 That is right; we are wearing them down!{S}
 Hey, they want to come in for the free ale too!{S}
 The barricade's not going to hold for much longer!{S}
 We can not hold them!{S}
 Get them away from me!{S}
 Get them away--{S}
 Got to get out of here!{S}
 Let us just get drunk.{S}
 I do not want to think about nightfall.{S}
 It is not like I have a choice.{S}
 I should've left when I had the chance.{S}
 I want to get this battle over once and for all.{S}
 I need another drink.{S}
 I do not want to think about tonight.{S}
 What did we do to deserve this horrible nightmare?{S}
 I did not think I would be as afraid as I am.{S}
 You did your job.{S}
 You did your job.{S}
 You did your job.{S}
 You did your job.{S}
 You did your job.{S}
 You did your job.{S}
 You did your job.{S}
 I do not like being out here, Dwyn.{S}
 The mayor's giving me the evil eye.{S}
 Well, we do not understand why we are out here.{S}
 We are out here because I say we are going to help these people, and since I pay your wages, you are going to do as I say. <desc>Sigh</desc> Sure, boss.{S}
 Get out of our home!{S}
 We will put you back in your grave, where you belong!{S}
 Keep it up, men!{S}
 We are not going to lay down and let you stomp all over us!{S}
 Let us win our homes back!{S}
 Do not lose hope, men!{S}
 We... we can not hold them for long!{S}
 We need more men!{S}
 Have faith, men!{S}
 We have survived for this long.{S}
 When sunset comes we will take back Redcliffe, or die trying!{S}
 Take them all down!{S}
 Do not be afraid, my friends!{S}
 We will try our best to protect Redcliffe, for the arl's sake.{S}
 We should have helped the villagers get out when we could.{S}
 I have felled one!{S}
 I do not harbor much hope for us tonight.{S}
 I have no regrets.{S}
 That thing's not going to hold for long!{S}
 I am getting out of here!{S}
 We will do well tonight.{S}
 We are going to take this one night at a time.{S}
 Get them!{S}
 We need reinforcements!{S}
 Get them off of me!{S}
 I do not know what we would do without Murdock.{S}
 He would know what to do.{S}
 Not here, not being eaten by a walking corpse.{S}
 I can not keep them off me!{S}
 I am sorry; I do not want to die!{S}
 I think we will do good tonight.{S}
 Let us just hope for the best.{S}
 Come nightfall, we will show those creatures what us Redcliffe folk are made of.{S}
 We can not hold them!{S}
 I will need them.{S}
 I have a good feeling about tonight.{S}
 We mustn't let them though!{S}
 Those creatures do not know who they are dealing with.{S}
 I hope we do not lose any more men.{S}
 Why do they want to give us false hope?{S}
 Come, let us drink to victory!{S}
 We need more help!{S}
 Going to take you all down one by one!{S}
 That is what you get for messing with a dwarf!{S}
 We are wearing them down!{S}
 I knew this was going to end badly!{S}
 Let us go!{S}
 We can do this!{S}
 I got one!{S}
 I am getting the hang of this!{S}
 Do not lose hope!{S}
 There is much to do now that the danger is over.{S}
 We should have left when we had the chance.{S}
 We should have fled in all directions.{S}
 They could not have come after us all.{S}
 I do not want to become one of those... things, dragged off and made into a monster.{S}
 Thank the Maker you came when you did.{S}
 I do not know what we are going to do now.{S}
 What are we to do?{S}
 If monsters make it to the chantry, they will break in through the windows and slay us all.{S}
 It is come to get us!{S}
 Mother Hannah says we have to be brave.{S}
 I did not know that.{S}
 Why do we have to stay in here?{S}
 If-if monsters come in here, I will pick up a stick and beat them out the door!{S}
 Do not worry; everything will be all right.{S}
 Can you do that?{S}
 We need you here to protect the rest of us, yes?{S}
 I guess I can do that.{S}
 What are we going to do?{S}
 We have no choice.{S}
 So many have already died... <emp>Get your trusty hound out of the larder</emp>{S}
 Ser Gilmore has come to you with a problem in the kitchen: Your dog is in the pantry causing problems, and the cook wants you to deal with him.{S}
 Ser Gilmore will join you while you deal with the matter. <emp>Consider Morrigan's ritual</emp>{S}
 You found Morrigan waiting for you in your room.{S}
 She knows that the Grey Warden who kills the archdemon will die, and she has offered you a way out--a dark ritual that will result in the conception of a child bearing the Grey Warden's tainted blood.{S}
 I want to go play but they will not let me.{S}
 Do not mind me.{S}
 Death is the Maker's punishment! <emp>Find some weapons in the Treasury</emp>{S}
 Your mother has given you the key to the Treasury; you might be able to find some weapons there to help you against Arl Howe's men.{S}
 You searched the chests in the Treasury and found the Cousland family sword in one of them.{S}
 You have been judged.{S}
 May I have a word?{S}
 Digging graves is hard work... and dull.{S}
 I am going to toss you into an open grave.{S}
 Hurting people it is what we do.{S}
 Our magic gives us power over others! <desc>Laughs</desc> Use your gift today!{S}
 Let us play a game!{S}
 The one who causes the most pain wins!{S}
 Take that!{S}
 This sword has your name on it.{S}
 Night fell and the undead creatures started attacking Redcliffe before you could locate Bevin.{S}
 You do not know if Kaitlyn ever found her brother and made it to safety, and perhaps you will never find out.{S}
 I serve my arl!{S}
 But there is not much to do right now.{S}
 Maker have mercy!{S}
 I hope you are not thinking of making trouble.{S}
 I have got my eye on you.{S}
 I choose Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir.{S}
 Just standing around... if you have got work for me, I would be grateful.{S}
 I hope you do not make trouble here.{S}
 We have enough as it is.{S}
 You have got some pain coming to you.{S}
 I wish there was something else to do around here.{S}
 I long to go on a hunt... these humans make me antsy.{S}
 You have our thanks. <desc>angry growling</desc>{S}
 Stone met.{S}
 I do not know how these humans live up here.{S}
 Do not hold back!{S}
 You think this is a game, do not you?{S}
 You should've yielded when you had the chance.{S}
 I am eager to join the battle against the darkspawn.{S}
 I saw that. <desc>The guards are following Erlina.</desc> <act>Leave the bushes.</act> <act>Keep hiding.</act>{S}
 Take that you fiend!{S}
 I will make you wish you were never born.{S}
 I do not think that idea's worth much.{S}
 Get away from me, thief. <emp>Return to the chanter</emp>{S}
 Let us go!{S}
 Hey, I got something to say to you.{S}
 Is that all you have come up with?{S}
 You are going to pay for that.{S}
 Hold the line!{S}
 Do not be stupid.{S}
 Keep your filthy paws off my stuff.{S}
 Does hitting a woman make you feel better about yourself?{S}
 Oh, I get the feeling something terrible's about to happen.{S}
 What did I do to deserve this?{S}
 All this waiting is making me anxious.{S}
 Do not you try anything.{S}
 Get away from me, you monster!{S}
 I do not want to die here!{S}
 I would prefer your handled me more intimately, your highness.{S}
 That is all you have to say?{S}
 What else could I have done?{S}
 We all do what we need to survive.{S}
 I am sorry it ended that way.{S}
 You had it coming to you.{S}
 I had to do what I did to survive, and so did you.{S}
 I do not blame you for leaving us all.{S}
 We found someone sleeping in our fields.{S}
 It promises 100 sovereigns, payable to the holder. <emp>Find a way out</emp>{S}
 The sadistic human lords have kidnapped all the women in the wedding party, including you.{S}
 You are being held in a room in what looks to be a noble estate.{S}
 You have to do something to get out of here, or things are going to go badly for all of you. <emp>Talk to Valendrian</emp>{S}
 The sadistic human lords have kidnapped all the women in the wedding party and taken them back to the arl's estate.{S}
 Talk to Valendrian to see what can be done.{S}
 So these undead are all your doing?{S}
 One that has been tainted and enslaved by the darkspawn.{S}
 Flemeth did not turn to the demon until... much later.{S}
 Like I said, he may have torn the Veil accidentally.{S}
 I really do not know.{S}
 I have already offered you a reward...{S}
 I can do no more!{S}
 It is said to possess great power, though I never thought I might have a use for it.{S}
 If you go, I doubt we will still be here when you get back.{S}
 If you did leave, I doubt we would still be here when you got back.{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 You do not need my help.{S}
 I have no words to express-- <desc>Grunts</desc> Do not get your knickers in a twist, sweet cheeks.{S}
 I do not know how mystical this Urn really is.{S}
 I did not think anyone could succeed in finding Andraste's final resting place... but here... here She is.{S}
 I could not have asked for a greater honor than to be here.{S}
 What an odd thing to do with the honored dead... to store it in a pot.{S}
 You found a waste-bin.{S}
 I should get one for my house.{S}
 Could not have happened to a nicer fellow.{S}
 I guess that makes it my tavern now, does not it?{S}
 The lyrium veins in these walls are richer and purer than any I have sensed in a while.{S}
 It is doing things... changing this temple and everything in it. <desc>These are the earthly remains of Andraste, Prophet and Bride of the Maker.</desc>{S}
 I will find a way to fix this, somehow.{S}
 I... no, I do not want to die.{S}
 I guess you will do what you have to, and so will I.{S}
 Just do not make things worse.{S}
 Then get out.{S}
 I do not want to see you again.{S}
 Murdock says that the statue used to belong to a mage, and that the mage used to live in a cottage, right here in Redcliffe.{S}
 If you want to kill him when you do not have to, it is on your conscience.{S}
 I do not want to risk it.{S}
 Howe is not even taking hostages!{S}
 Oh, poor Fergus... let us go.{S}
 I do not want to see this!{S}
 I am not made of porcelain!{S}
 We are already in danger... now let us do something about it.{S}
 Why would they do this?!{S}
 I will make them pay!{S}
 Do not look, Mother.{S}
 You will see the path but be unable to get to it, and it taunts you and drives you mad.{S}
 I once found a passageway smaller than my hand with a mouse going to and fro through it.{S}
 The mouse could have told me what lay beyond the tiny passage, or how to get there.{S}
 Even how I might make myself small like him, and crawl through myself.{S}
 And if one could become small enough to take one path, perhaps there are similar ways to walk the others.{S}
 I once met a mouse in the Fade.{S}
 Why did it do that?{S}
 What have you done?{S}
 He did not...{S}
 I tried so hard to save him.{S}
 Give it to me!{S}
 I will do it!{S}
 You still have my respect, and the respect of all the fighters.{S}
 I had the whole left half of the arena cheering for you.{S}
 The secret passage has been sealed. <emp>Find the Urn of Sacred Ashes</emp>{S}
 Medicines and magic have failed to cure Arl Eamon, who slips closer to death each day.{S}
 You have been told that the Urn of Sacred Ashes--containing the ashes of the Maker's prophet, Andraste--has legendary healing powers.{S}
 Lady Isolde sent her knights out in search of the Urn, but so far they have returned empty-handed.{S}
 If Arl Eamon is to have any hope of recovering, Andraste's Ashes must be found.{S}
 He is the only man in Ferelden who is actively researching the Urn and will have important knowledge to share with you.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 You do not want to keep your companion waiting.{S}
 I... could use a hand here.{S}
 Do you know who you are dealing with?{S}
 You would have better luck stealing from a drunk poetess.{S}
 Have at you!{S}
 Let us do this.{S}
 I need a hand, here.{S}
 Do not know how much longer I can hold...{S}
 Is not there something to do around here?{S}
 Why do not you stick to milking cows or picking weeds?{S}
 You have earned Prince Bhelen's trust.{S}
 You should see what else he needs from you. <emp>Speak with Vartag when you are ready for your audience with the prince</emp>{S}
 Vartag says that Prince Bhelen has consented to speak with you.{S}
 Return to Vartag when you are ready to be taken to the prince.{S}
 And did you not think that this could be historical fact, and no longer true? <desc>Laughs</desc> <desc>Sigh</desc> And I should, should not I, after having spent most of my adult life as one.{S}
 You have guessed as much, I am sure.{S}
 But does it really matter what I was?{S}
 How thrilling to know I am so well-taken care of.{S}
 Especially if you get yourself hurt.{S}
 Pup, you will want to get an early night.{S}
 You have much to do tomorrow.{S}
 Well I am glad you find this so funny.{S}
 I was wondering how long this would take.{S}
 Has he asked to recruit you? <desc>Sigh</desc> If he did, then I would have to consider it.{S}
 If a Blight is truly upon us in the south, then Grey Wardens will be needed.{S}
 If it comes to that, we can talk about it when I get back.{S}
 I know that you will do me proud.{S}
 You have grown into a sensible woman, that much is clear.{S}
 I know that you will do me proud.{S}
 You have grown into a fine lad, that much is clear.{S}
 You will need protecting more than her.{S}
 Mother can handle herself.{S}
 Always has.{S}
 And if he did?{S}
 Why would I want to be recruited?{S}
 It seems that your father's errand was just a ruse to get his family together one last time before he left for battle.{S}
 He and your mother joined you, Fergus, and Fergus's family upstairs.{S}
 Getting sent to bed early, are we?{S}
 Well, I sure hope he is worthy of your time, or I will have to have a chat with the fellow.{S}
 Do not you tell me it is not.{S}
 A warm bed does not sound so bad now, come to think of it.{S}
 Well, you know father when he makes up his mind. <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 Take care of everyone, and be here when I get back.{S}
 I do not mind.{S}
 I have someone waiting for me.{S}
 Have fun on the long march.{S}
 Best do as your father says, darling.{S}
 Your uncle no doubt thinks it makes him sound too old, Oren.{S}
 I did not say anything.{S}
 Are you going to teach me to use a sword, Uncle?{S}
 I never get to do anything!{S}
 Do not worry, son.{S}
 You will get to see a sword up close real soon, I promise.{S}
 How about lock picking?{S}
 Papa says you can open anything.{S}
 Can you teach me to pick a pocket?{S}
 Fergus, there are times your family causes me great pain.{S}
 Are you going to teach me to use a sword, Auntie?{S}
 They eat people.{S}
 Your aunt no doubt thinks it makes her sound too old, Oren.{S}
 I do not want to stay in the castle all the time!{S}
 You bet!{S}
 Let us go!{S}
 If you should need any assistance in the coming days, I would be glad to offer it.{S}
 Get moving, brand.{S}
 And would you say you have mastered this game?{S}
 Sometimes all I had to do was toss a glance and a smile.{S}
 Men read promises into such things, and will go to great lengths to see that promise fulfilled.{S}
 Well, it... it does not, really...{S}
 I see your point. <desc>Laughs</desc> We will slay these darkspawn using conventional means--pointy sticks and all that.{S}
 Why not make someone want to do what you suggest, instead of forcing them to do it?{S}
 So how does this help us kill darkspawn again?{S}
 There is much to be done, that is true.{S}
 But I should first be thankful to those who have done so much.{S}
 Grey Warden, you have not only saved my life but kept my family safe as well.{S}
 Grey Warden, I know you did what you had to.{S}
 I grieve for my son, but I believe that had you not acted as you did, it might have been far worse.{S}
 Abandoned Camp{S}
 Grey Warden, I know you did what you had to.{S}
 I grieve for Isolde, but I believe that had you not acted as you did, it might have been far worse.{S}
 Will you permit me to offer you a reward for your service?{S}
 Know that you have my thanks even so.{S}
 Then allow me to declare you and those traveling with you champions of Redcliffe.{S}
 It will serve far better in your hands.{S}
 And for you, Warden, a shield of the same make as those that have been given to our finest knights.{S}
 There is no telling what he will do once he learns of your recovery.{S}
 We have no way of knowing what Loghain will do once he learns of your recovery.{S}
 I need your help against the Blight.{S}
 That will do.{S}
 Lady Isolde did promise me a reward, as I recall.{S}
 I need no reward from any human lord.{S}
 I neither need nor want any reward from you.{S}
 I suppose this will do.{S}
 There is much else to do, now.{S}
 I have been up for some time, but yes, I slept very well.{S}
 I have just been watching <emp>you</emp> sleep.{S}
 Did you know your eyelids flutter when you dream?{S}
 And you have such pretty eyelashes.{S}
 I want to catch them and keep them in a jar.{S}
 You thought I was crazy the first time you met me. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Why do not you go run from the Blight like all the rest of your kind?{S}
 Do whatever you like and go away.{S}
 I could let you out of there.{S}
 I am so pleased to finally do this!{S}
 You had your chance to run.{S}
 Friends and family, today we celebrate not only this joining, but also our bonds of kin and kind.{S}
 We are a free people, but that was not always so.{S}
 Andraste, the Maker's prophet, freed us from the bonds of slavery.{S}
 Now, let us begin.{S}
 In the name of the Maker, who brought us this world, and in whose name we say the Chant of Light, I--{S}
 Sorry to interrupt, Mother, but I am having a party and we are dreadfully short of female guests. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 If you want to dress up your pets and have tea parties, that is your business.{S}
 But do not pretend this is a proper wedding.{S}
 Let us take those two, the one in the tight dress, and... where is the bitch that bottled me?{S}
 Let me go, you stuffed-shirt son of a--{S}
 What do we do?!{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 Every time a knife-ear says that, it makes me smile.{S}
 Giving me orders?{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I will not let them take you!{S}
 This one has spirit!{S}
 Let me think... hmmm, no.{S}
 Oh, we are going to have some fun. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Make me.{S}
 Let us get this over with.{S}
 I can not do this.{S}
 I will handle this.{S}
 Soris, they are taking Shianni!{S}
 Nothing, unless you have any ideas...{S}
 You have no right to do this!{S}
 Take what you came for and go.{S}
 Do not you dare touch me!{S}
 Please, just do not hurt anyone.{S}
 Take me, but let the others go!{S}
 Let them go!{S}
 You have no right!{S}
 I can handle myself!{S}
 We have to fight!{S}
 We have to get out of here!{S}
 I will not let them take Shianni!{S}
 You never found the time to help Leorah with the spiders in her storage caves.{S}
 She will have to deal with them herself.{S}
 You have arrived in Lothering, and may rest and re-supply here.{S}
 The highway will take you to the various places you need to go: Redcliffe, the Brecilian forest, the Circle of Magi's tower, and the dwarven city of Orzammar.{S}
 You have traveled past Lothering and are now on the Imperial Highway, which runs through all of Ferelden.{S}
 The highway will take you to the various places you need to go: Redcliffe, the Brecilian forest, the Circle of Magi's tower, and the dwarven city of Orzammar.{S}
 Lothering and the Imperial Highway <Act>Assist Bhelen's men</Act> <Act>Do nothing</Act>{S}
 Lord Vaughan likes her look and wants to keep her for last.{S}
 Have you changed your mind?{S}
 I would like to discuss your support, if you are willing.{S}
 If that does not suit you, then I apologize but we are done here.{S}
 Have you given my offer more thought?{S}
 First, let me say that I knew your family.{S}
 Eleanor in particular was dear to me, and what Howe did... was unforgivable.{S}
 My father must be stopped, but once that is done Ferelden will need a ruler.{S}
 I would welcome your support for my throne.{S}
 When the time comes, you support my bid in the Landsmeet to remain on the throne.{S}
 You will be seen as my father's enemy, yet you will be in support of his daughter.{S}
 You will be seen as supporting the interests of Ferelden as opposed to solely those of the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Do you see?{S}
 Together we can do what alone we cannot.{S}
 And even if it is not for you, think of what I could do for the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Think of what I could do for your people.{S}
 And even if it is not for you, think of what I could do for the Grey Wardens.{S}
 Think of what I could do for your companions.{S}
 I trust I have made my point.{S}
 I highly doubt, however, that any attempt to take a dwarf as my consort would be looked upon favorably.{S}
 And happiest when they have a woman to dote upon.{S}
 Is that why you support him?{S}
 The way you speak of him, it... simply makes me curious.{S}
 If so, then he has changed.{S}
 Once he is kept from the throne, if it should fall to Alistair then I will be content.{S}
 It is true I do still wish your support in the Landsmeet.{S}
 Do I have it?{S}
 Secondly, you saved Arl Eamon from a plot that no doubt had its origins in Howe's sick little mind.{S}
 Used to your advantage, these things could bring you far.{S}
 All I wish to do is talk.{S}
 For years I have ruled this kingdom as Cailan's queen.{S}
 But what is needed now is not another good man but a good ruler.{S}
 I sent Erlina here not solely because I thought I needed help, but because I saw an opportunity.{S}
 I need your support, Warden.{S}
 And you will need mine.{S}
 Do you disagree?{S}
 What do you think of Alistair's potential to rule, never mind his willingness?{S}
 He also seems to be a fine Grey Warden--which is exactly why he should remain one, and serve the kingdom by defeating the darkspawn.{S}
 It was Arl Eamon that kept Alistair out of the courts, as Maric had desired.{S}
 Who else do you think Alistair would turn to for help?{S}
 Alistair's weakness would destroy everything Maric built.{S}
 I simply believe that I am what this country needs.{S}
 Would Alistair do the same?{S}
 My feelings towards Alistair have nothing to do with it.{S}
 Ferelden needs an effective ruler with experience to see it through the Blight and after.{S}
 Thus I say again: I would welcome your support for the throne, if you would give it.{S}
 Your support for mine in the Landsmeet?{S}
 I have ruled this nation on Cailan's behalf for many years.{S}
 I am also doing what I must, for the good of my country.{S}
 I agree that there is much to be done before the Landsmeet, but do not you think plans should still be made for what will follow?{S}
 I do.{S}
 Make your case.{S}
 Why should I support you?{S}
 I think I would need more than just your support.{S}
 What if you had a strong king beside you?{S}
 Why not simply marry Alistair?{S}
 You will have my support in the Landsmeet.{S}
 I can not support you.{S}
 Will you support Alistair at the Landsmeet?{S}
 I think he would make a better king than you believe.{S}
 What difference does it make?{S}
 I wish to speak more of your offer.{S}
 I do not think I am as important as you believe.{S}
 I am done talking.{S}
 Why should I support you?{S}
 Just how do you know so much about him?{S}
 You do not seem to like Alistair much.{S}
 And you would serve better as queen?{S}
 Being a good ruler requires more than ambition.{S}
 We all do things we have to, sometimes.{S}
 I think he would do fine, actually.{S}
 Let us not get ahead of ourselves. <desc>You can hear Godwin breathing inside the closet.</desc> <act>Open door.</act>{S}
 Morrigan has joined you at her mother's behest--though she seemed reluctant to do so--and has agreed to guide you safely through the Wilds.{S}
 She has also suggested that you first stop by a village north of the Wilds to rest and replenish your supplies.{S}
 Please choose one of the following to jump to the encounter.{S}
 There is also the matter of Teyrn Loghain's betrayal.{S}
 With his help, you may be able to influence the nobles of the Landsmeet to unite against Teyrn Loghain to bring him to justice.{S}
 Redcliffe's problems have been solved for now, but Arl Eamon is still on his deathbed and in need of a cure.{S}
 Legend states that the Urn of Sacred Ashes, containing the prophet Andraste's remains, has miraculous healing powers.{S}
 You discovered the Urn in an ancient temple and obtained some of the Ashes after going through a series of tests. *** This should not appear now that the Landsmeet is forced to happen after the Wide-Open World.{S}
 Arl Eamon has been revived by the healing powers of Andraste's ashes and has gone on to Denerim to call the Landsmeet.{S}
 He has asked that you join him as soon as you can.{S}
 There, you will attempt to bring Loghain to justice and stop the civil war that is brewing.{S}
 You need more men, and the Grey Warden treaties you hold give you the authority to command the various races of Thedas to fight with you.{S}
 You have gathered a formidable army and many have pledged to join you in the great battle when the time comes.{S}
 Arl Eamon has been revived by the healing powers of Andraste's Ashes and has gone on to Denerim to call the Landsmeet.{S}
 He has asked that you join him as soon as you can.{S}
 There, you will attempt to bring Loghain to justice and stop the civil war that is brewing.{S}
 The Landsmeet is over, and civil war has been averted.{S}
 The Landsmeet is over, and civil war has been averted.{S}
 With the Grey Warden treaties in hand, you have been enlisting the various races of Thedas to fight with you. <emp>Help the hungry prisoner</emp>{S}
 The prisoner at the king's camp has begged you for some food.{S}
 According to him, the guard may have some to give.{S}
 Kaitlyn has left Redcliffe with her brother, Bevin, hoping to make a new life somewhere else.{S}
 Oh, thank the Maker you have come to.{S}
 Doubt we are getting the tour.{S}
 Glad you have still got some fight in you.{S}
 Forgive me if I do not hold my breath.{S}
 What makes you think <emp>we</emp> can kill anyone?{S}
 More like once he is had his way with us.{S}
 Maker keep us, Maker protect us, Maker keep us, Maker protect us--{S}
 Then we need to get out of here!{S}
 We will kill the first human that opens the door.{S}
 He has?{S}
 To marry Cailan's brother...{S}
 I suppose stranger things have happened.{S}
 If it will truly help matters... <desc>sigh</desc>{S}
 What will become of you once I am married?{S}
 Cailan had his women.{S}
 He was thoughtful enough to keep them discreet, but I always knew.{S}
 Am I to have yet another husband whose eyes lie elsewhere?{S}
 I wish to enter this with my eyes open, Warden.{S}
 Then I have changed my mind, Warden.{S}
 I will not take a husband under such circumstances.{S}
 Then all I wish is that you two do not embarrass me.{S}
 If that were true, you would not have been needed for this conversation.{S}
 I agree to marry Alistair to retain my throne, and in exchange I give you my support?{S}
 I try not to.{S}
 I still do not.{S}
 A man like you could make a fine prince and consort.{S}
 My hand for your support?{S}
 And I am tired of ruling in a husband's name.{S}
 If I marry again, it will not be to become a figurehead.{S}
 If being a consort is not enough, then marry Alistair.{S}
 Of that I have no doubt.{S}
 If only it did not chafe so.{S}
 Once I am coronated, I will take your hand as my consort.{S}
 I have no idea what manner of ruler you would make, Warden.{S}
 Still, I think we can make some other arrangement, no?{S}
 I rather got the sense that you two might be...{S}
 Alistair does have Theirin blood.{S}
 It is the one thing I do not have, truth be told.{S}
 Let me say this: if Alistair is willing to stand back and allow me to continue governing the nation, then I would be willing to have him as my king.{S}
 It is my understanding that governing does not appeal to him anyhow.{S}
 Do so.{S}
 I will be interested to hear what he has to say.{S}
 Do you foresee me agreeing to place an untried, unwilling man on the throne otherwise?{S}
 One whose largest decisions to date have consisted of which shoe to put on first?{S}
 If it will settle matters more quickly, I am willing to agree to this... but only if it will benefit Ferelden.{S}
 That is how my own marriage to Cailan began.{S}
 This does not bother you?{S}
 But it is true that Alistair has Theirin blood.{S}
 So we have a deal, Warden.{S}
 I trust you will keep your end of the bargain... now, I suppose, comes the task of dealing with my father.{S}
 "Trust" would perhaps be putting it too strongly.{S}
 I had no inkling of my father's plans until Cailan was already dead.{S}
 I would like to think that my father planned for the worst but did not truly decide that Cailan was a lost cause until that moment in Ostagar.{S}
 Alistair can make up his own mind.{S}
 Marry Alistair and you have my support.{S}
 I do not think it is going to happen.{S}
 What do you think about marrying Alistair?{S}
 Why do not <emp>you</emp> marry him?{S}
 Marry me and you have my support.{S}
 I do not think that would work.{S}
 You have never heard of a political marriage?{S}
 Why does not Loghain back down?{S}
 Why would he ever have trusted Arl Howe?{S}
 Did he plan overthrowing Cailan before Ostagar?{S}
 You traveled to the town of Redcliffe to seek out Arl Eamon, the late King Cailan's uncle.{S}
 You left the people to their fate and upon your return found that Redcliffe had been reduced to a lifeless ghost town.{S}
 You spoke to Bann Teagan and to get to the bottom of this, Redcliffe Castle must be breached. <emp>See what else Harrowmont requires of you</emp>{S}
 You have earned Lord Harrowmont's trust.{S}
 You should see what else he needs from you.{S}
 I do not have that much silver to give you.{S}
 We have our deal, Warden.{S}
 He is my father, as well as a great general who has served his nation well until now.{S}
 I will always be my father's daughter, but even I know he must pay for his crimes.{S}
 It will not make me glad, even so.{S}
 Does that affect your decision?{S}
 In the end, it will be up to the Landsmeet to decide, I think.{S}
 I imagine you have much to do.{S}
 Is there anything else you needed from me?{S}
 Justice must be done, do not you think?{S}
 Do you wish to stand with us, or with Murdock and the militia in the village below?{S}
 You will need it.{S}
 I get it.{S}
 I do not trust her any more than her father, but I get it.{S}
 There was a time that would have given me great relief.{S}
 But I am a Grey Warden first, and if I get to stay a Grey Warden I will take it.{S}
 Let Anora be queen.{S}
 I would not be surprised if that is why she arranged to be here to begin with.{S}
 They say that Anora is smart, determined... she is supposedly the one who is really ruled here, not Cailan.{S}
 What do you think?{S}
 When the Landsmeet comes, you might even have a say.{S}
 That does not mean she is going to be.{S}
 Marry her?{S}
 You have spoken to her about this?{S}
 You did, did not you?{S}
 I did not mean... all right.{S}
 And I still do not care.{S}
 I do not want anyone else... even just for show.{S}
 Marrying Cailan's widow?{S}
 Why do you think I should do this, then?{S}
 It just seems strange that you should be the one to bring this up.{S}
 I do not want anyone else, even for pretend.{S}
 I do not like the idea, myself.{S}
 I would rather marry who I want to, and nobody else.{S}
 Do you really want me to do this?{S}
 Give me a good reason to even consider it.{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 I do not trust Anora any more than her father.{S}
 And I am certainly not going to marry her.{S}
 I can not do it, even if it means I have to be king myself.{S}
 I do not think compromise is what is needed, here.{S}
 I do not know how much of a leader I am, but... at least I know she is a good ruler.{S}
 You might have something there.{S}
 You have convinced me.{S}
 I will agree to marry her, Maker help us all.{S}
 Me, I think I need a drink.{S}
 Or I can rule while I lead.{S}
 I have never chased after the throne my entire life, but...{S}
 I do not trust Anora.{S}
 Tell her whatever you want to, but I will not marry her.{S}
 Tell her I will do it, if it comes to that.{S}
 Now excuse me while I go have a small heart attack somewhere.{S}
 No big deal, right?{S}
 But that is going to be the last order you give me.{S}
 Is that what friends do, then?{S}
 No, I do not think I will.{S}
 I am not going to be ordered to marry anyone, least of all Cailan's wife.{S}
 But I would rather be king than marry her, and that is final.{S}
 You have?{S}
 I guess all we need to do is stop her father from taking the throne first, right?{S}
 We have got spirit!{S}
 The Landsmeet could pick Anora for queen no matter what happens, right?{S}
 I just thought Anora did not seem like such a bad choice.{S}
 Got one handy?{S}
 We could go to Orlais, live in sin and eat cake until the darkspawn finally catch up to us.{S}
 Someone really needs to slap that one around.{S}
 The moment has passed.{S}
 We have to convince everyone there are monsters that need fighting.{S}
 Who would have thought?{S}
 Mind you, then I would have "crown hair" all the time.{S}
 Can you have "crown hair?"{S}
 I bet you can.{S}
 Just wait until I get all bossy and bad-tempered.{S}
 His sister is who my father cheated on to make me, yet he still took me in.{S}
 She gave me the strangest look, like she was sizing up whether the cow was ready for slaughter.{S}
 "It would be like marrying his twin."{S}
 Maybe she said, "You have got a hairy chin?"{S}
 I do need a shave.{S}
 I have decided to support her in the Landsmeet.{S}
 She wants my support in the Landsmeet.{S}
 What do you think about her?{S}
 I think you will make a fine king.{S}
 I think we should deal with Loghain.{S}
 You do not think she should be queen?{S}
 Why does she dislike you?{S}
 What would you say about marrying her?{S}
 I have agreed to support her in the Landsmeet.{S}
 I think you should marry Anora.{S}
 Then I will tell her no deal.{S}
 It does not have to change anything.{S}
 She can rule while you lead.{S}
 You will do it because I tell you to.{S}
 I have agreed to support Anora in the Landsmeet.{S}
 Oh, you also need to marry her.{S}
 Yes, let us not get ahead of ourselves.{S}
 He can not rule if he is dead.{S}
 Do you really have a choice?{S}
 You should do what you want to do.{S}
 Do not you listen to him.{S}
 We have a lot to do.{S}
 You do not look <emp>that</emp> much like Cailan.{S}
 Keep your eyes open... <emp>Rescue Queen Anora</emp>{S}
 Anora got away in the confusion.{S}
 You have to do something!{S}
 You are lucky you made such a good match.{S}
 We do not deserve this sort of treatment.{S}
 I just hope things do not get worse for us here.{S}
 You will do good out there, I am sure.{S}
 We are going to find those girls dumped in ditch somewhere, are not we?{S}
 There had better be dancing.{S}
 I can not imagine what those horrible men might do!{S}
 Look what she is gone and gotten herself into now.{S}
 Anything we do now is just going to make things worse.{S}
 Soris is getting married?{S}
 That is good, he needs a woman to look after him.{S}
 Never thought your father would manage to find anyone to marry you.{S}
 Go on, get out of here.{S}
 One day that Vaughan will pay for what he is done.{S}
 We need to do something.{S}
 I wish my wedding could have been as grand as all this!{S}
 We need help!{S}
 We will keep them back as long as possible!{S}
 I can not abandon the chantry!{S}
 Do your best!{S}
 Go get married!{S}
 I would help, but I have nothing.{S}
 I am sorry, but I have nothing.{S}
 We need help!{S}
 We need to hurry!{S}
 A well-worn key.{S}
 D-do not leave me alone... please... please, take me home. <desc>sobs</desc>{S}
 You killed them, did not you?{S}
 I will take the rear guard.{S}
 So you would rather I be dead than... marry me...{S}
 Your friend... got the worst of it.{S}
 Let us go home.{S}
 I did what had to be done.{S}
 Let us just get out of here.{S}
 So I still have to marry you?{S}
 I could not just let them hurt you.{S}
 Do not be so selfish.{S}
 Yes, I have had enough of this place.{S}
 They had no right to do this.{S}
 And your wood can get me into the center of the forest?{S}
 You are doing fine.{S}
 Just do what you are told.{S}
 It is a war we started, I am told.{S}
 That... does complicate things.{S}
 I have no mage companions.{S}
 Try not to disturb the little ones.{S}
 I think we need new blood.{S}
 Oh, there is so much work to do.{S}
 I think we will get a new group of hatchlings soon.{S}
 Addressing the Assembly seems like the likely place to start looking for a solution.{S}
 You did not attempt to address the Assembly before the throne was decided.{S}
 Wracked with guilt over the part she played in Connor's possession, and knowing that her son was in agonizing pain, Isolde came to the realization that it was time to end Connor's life.{S}
 However, you did not allow her to take his life, as she wished; you did the deed yourself.{S}
 You know, I have some documents, too.{S}
 What do you think of that?{S}
 So Anora rules, then?{S}
 We will need her strength if this... once the Blight is done.{S}
 Why do I feel like I am waiting for the axe to fall?{S}
 Do not worry, old man.{S}
 You will get used to it.{S}
 Well, I suppose he will get used to it eventually.{S}
 Provided he does not run while he has the chance. <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 The Landsmeet will determine whether or not Loghain has his way.{S}
 Prove him wrong, Warden, for all our sakes.{S}
 I can barely remember how you even got there.{S}
 Do you know anything about the golem?{S}
 Strange that matters can be so tumultuous and yet the day still be so bright.{S}
 And an excellent party trick, I will bet.{S}
 I am sure you can find something of interest on her board.{S}
 How did you know?{S}
 Considering where that came from let us hope we are not the only ones in good health.{S}
 I did <emp>not</emp> see that coming.{S}
 I do not have anything else to offer, really.{S}
 Telmanes' Key : This key was held by Telmanes. <emp>Seek out Arl Eamon</emp>{S}
 Alistair thinks that you should seek the help of Arl Eamon of Redcliffe--a highly respected noble who has a great deal of influence in the Landsmeet.{S}
 You have traveled to Redcliffe only to discover that the village is suffering nightly attacks from the walking dead, and that Castle Redcliffe is locked shut, showing no signs of life or activity. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 You traveled to Redcliffe to seek the help of Arl Eamon, only to find the village besieged and under attack from the walking dead.{S}
 You finally managed to find your way into Castle Redcliffe, and have discovered that Connor, Arl Eamon's young son, is the one responsible for all the terrible things that have happened.{S}
 Connor, a mage, has been possessed by a demon and is now an abomination. <emp>Revive Arl Eamon</emp>{S}
 You traveled to Redcliffe to seek the help of Arl Eamon, only to find the village under attack from the walking dead.{S}
 You vanquished the demon, but Arl Eamon is still on his deathbed, after having been the victim of a poisoning attempt.{S}
 You need his help and you need to cure him.{S}
 I have seen Prince Bhelen Aeducan himself wearing a robe made of something quite similar!{S}
 So I pay your exorbitant price only to end up looking like a poor imitation of Prince Bhelen?{S}
 You will get no coin from me.{S}
 If you have need of me I will be here.{S}
 In an alienage apartment you found an antique Free Sailor sextant.{S}

 His last request was that you take the Litany of Adralla from his body and save the Circle of Magi.{S}
 Sound the alarms! <emp>Find your family before it is too late</emp>{S}
 You went to sleep after the pleasant family reunion, only to find that Arl Howe's men had infiltrated the castle, and had begun killing everyone in it.{S}
 You need to find your family.{S}

 You support his opinion? <emp>I am</emp> a mage, Sten.{S}
 No, I will not do it.{S}
 We need to do it.{S}

 Consider what it has to gain.{S}
 I do not have time to discuss it.{S}
 It is the right thing to do.{S}
 End of story.{S}
 I do not trust Kolgrim's offer.{S}
 I will not do it.{S}
 You do not really think that is wise, do you?{S}
 I do, and I probably always will.{S}
 I just have to move on.{S}
 I would not have thought I would say this, but...{S}
 I suppose it does mean it will have something to hide behind when the dragon breathes its flames, yes.{S}
 I would. <desc>sigh</desc> But I suppose there are certain obligations that go along with having a squishy companion made out of flesh.{S}
 Let us try to get through this without my being rendered into so many pulverized pebbles, yes?{S}
 Or <emp>eaten</emp> by the dragon!{S}
 It might give "passing a stone" all new meaning, but <emp>I</emp> do not want to be there for it...{S}
 Part of me is glad that it has decided to leave me here at the gate, but the other part is... apprehensive?{S}
 And... do try not to get swallowed whole.{S}
 I could not take it.{S}
 Have fun storming the castle.{S}
 Please do not tell anyone.{S}
 I will take that as a vote of confidence.{S}
 No, just trying to picture his little elf head... squishing... ah, there we go.{S}
 I.. do not know.{S}
 More likely she would love to eat you.{S}
 And it seems there is no one else to do this, is there? <desc>Sigh</desc> I suppose I do, at that.{S}
 Pick another. <desc>Sigh</desc> I see.{S}
 Let us begin at once.{S}
 I think you owe me.{S}
 Do you remember me?{S}
 I guess you do.{S}
 A demon has you trapped here.{S}
 Do not be foolish, old man.{S}
 I do as I wish, here.{S}
 Let us speak, human.{S}
 You end here, foul spirit.{S}
 Because you have taken a child, demon.{S}
 I have come to help you.{S}
 I will end this. <emp>Free the castle of the demon's control</emp>{S}
 Left with no other option, you chose First Enchanter Irving to be the mage to enter the Fade and battle the demon.{S}
 A putrid half-eaten hare is not something a woman wants to find in her unmentionables.{S}

 I need a hand!{S}
 Blast it, there is always an itch I can not reach...{S}
 But I must have done something right--it led me to you.{S}
 Let us not bring the Maker into it.{S}
 Marrying Alistair to Anora... would not have been my first choice.{S}
 Still, it does keep the Theirin bloodline alive, and Anora is a fine ruler.{S}
 So I suppose I owe you thanks, Warden.{S}
 All of Ferelden does.{S}
 I am... uneasy with the danger he puts himself in by accompanying you.{S}
 I ask myself if he does not conspire to leave the throne to Anora after all.{S}
 He will do what is best... right now he believes that is assisting you in contacting your allies.{S}
 He has left, and I know not to where.{S}
 I will try to contact him again once all of this is done, but...{S}
 There are those who would seek to use him, as Anora suggested.{S}
 We have sent messengers to Orlais.{S}
 I think it entirely possible, however, that she has written Ferelden off as a lost cause already and will seek to defend her Empire first.{S}
 Perhaps the Grey Wardens of Orlais will be able to march and reach us in time.{S}
 I suppose it remains to be seen what sort of king Alistair will make.{S}
 Personally I think the lad will do far better than he believes.{S}
 He has a good heart.{S}
 And so Loghain's daughter sits on the throne, the Theirin bloodline is ended.{S}
 I suppose you did what you did for your own reasons, Warden, but...{S}
 I wish it could have turned out differently.{S}
 I have been hearing of a great commotion in the alienage.{S}
 We must end the civil war quickly.{S}
 What the Blight does not corrupt in this land, politics surely will.{S}
 The last of our allies have arrived in the city, we cannot delay any longer: I will call for the Landsmeet to convene.{S}
 Bring Alistair and join me at the palace as soon as you are ready, Warden.{S}
 Warden, let me know if there is any assistance I can give you.{S}
 We have much to do and little time.{S}
 We need to do all that we can in the few days left to us before the Landsmeet.{S}
 I remember when Loghain first brought her to Denerim.{S}
 Had him jumping when she snapped since the first time she batted her eyelashes.{S}
 But we should keep her close, all the same.{S}
 If I might make a suggestion: Go speak with Anora.{S}
 I do not for a moment think Anora means to give up her power easily.{S}
 Still, I would rather have her where we can watch her than actively working for Loghain.{S}
 Anora was a capable administrator for Cailan's lands, but she has not a drop of royal blood.{S}
 We did not fight the Orlesians all those years just to lose our royal line in a single generation.{S}
 I only wish Maric had taken more time to instruct the lad in the politics of ruling.{S}
 I did my best, but...{S}
 I do not.{S}
 Which I have told both of you on many occasions.{S}
 If Anora's turned against Loghain, I say let her keep the crown.{S}
 With a few months of experience, Alistair will make a fine king.{S}
 He knows how to lead troops to defend his land.{S}
 I-I do not even want to hear the rest of this.{S}
 Y-you two just keep talking about me.{S}
 That would certainly solve a lot of problems, and put forth the strongest argument before the Landsmeet to remove Loghain from power.{S}
 And I have seen the way Alistair looks at you.{S}
 And I suspect that might take a lot of persuading to get past her pride and his humility.{S}
 For four hundred years, his descendants have ruled Ferelden.{S}
 We certainly have a great deal to plan.{S}
 It would be unseemly for her to marry so soon after Cailan's death.{S}
 She would not take that risk unless it helps her secure the throne.{S}
 We need to do all we can to erode his support before we call the Landsmeet.{S}
 Well, what did you expect me to do?{S}
 Did the purpose of my <emp>disguise</emp> entirely escape you?{S}
 I barely managed to slip away from her when we reached the palace.{S}
 Thankfully no harm was done, in the end.{S}
 I am hoping that, despite our unfortunate beginning, we can still work together.{S}
 We have been praying for your safe return, Warden.{S}
 We will need to work together, and quickly.{S}
 My father has gone mad.{S}
 I did not believe it at first, but he is gripped by a paranoia so severe it prevents him from seeing sense.{S}
 He saw me as a threat, yet even now I am certain he will be telling the nobles you are dangerous murderers that have kidnapped and mind-controlled me.{S}
 Our position in the Landsmeet is not strong, and this does little to help us.{S}
 You will need ammunition for the Landsmeet, and there I can help.{S}
 He will see this through, no matter what.{S}
 You will need ammunition come the Landsmeet, and I can help in that regard.{S}
 You have only just arrived in the city, so perhaps you are unaware of some... recent events.{S}
 Denerim has been in turmoil since Ostagar.{S}
 They should have little reason to be upset.{S}
 Which means that Howe and my father must have given them reason.{S}
 A useful lead, Anora, but... you could have sent this information with your maid.{S}
 I feared for my safety as Howe's prisoner, but to tell the truth I sent Erlina to you because I hoped we might join forces.{S}
 You need that evidence for the Landsmeet, but you also need a stronger candidate for the throne.{S}
 You need me.{S}
 I have no doubt Alistair is biddable enough, and decent, but even with his blood he is no king.{S}
 It will look like you are trying to put a Grey Warden on the throne, despite your claims.{S}
 Who do you think truly ruled this nation for the last five years?{S}
 I am what this country needs, not an untrained king who does not even want the throne.{S}
 Consider what I have said.{S}
 Warden, when you have a moment I ask that you speak to me in private.{S}
 You do not need to trust me.{S}
 We have the same goal--that is far better than trust.{S}
 Though I am afraid if we do not act quickly to erode Loghain's support, we may all be seeing a great deal of Fort Drakon in the future.{S}
 I was... uncertain you would respond as you did, considering the consequences.{S}
 I am glad you did.{S}
 Now, however, we must work together.{S}
 I fear that my escape will make matters worse.{S}
 Now that he cannot use me to support his claim on Maric's throne, he may resort to drastic measures to stay in power.{S}
 I doubt he will say anything publicly... at least until he has a better idea what to expect.{S}
 We will need to work together, and quickly.{S}
 But I imagine it is useful for Anora to have a trusted attendant who can move more freely than she herself.{S}
 If Anora has truly turned against her father, she becomes the one thing we lack.{S}
 In any event, I would far rather have the opportunity to ask such things of her than simply hear about her murder.{S}
 And given your reputation, Warden, I think Loghain knows it is safer to carry out his plots far from where you can disrupt them.{S}
 She and Cailan were promised as children and practically raised together.{S}
 She was a smart child, knew how to listen, and how to blink those big blue eyes and get anything she wanted.{S}
 Her mother's looks, her father's brains, and the best tutoring Maric's money could buy.{S}
 Do not trust either of them.{S}
 I do not know Anora well, but I know enough to be sure she has her own ambitions in this.{S}
 This is... an honor, that the regent would find time to greet me personally.{S}
 With Cailan dead, Ferelden <emp>must</emp> have a king to lead it against the darkspawn.{S}
 Ferelden has a strong leader: its queen.{S}
 And I lead her armies.{S}
 Ah, the Grey Warden recruit.{S}
 I thought we might meet again.{S}
 Some new stray you picked up on the road?{S}
 And here I thought it was only royal bastards you play the nursemaid to, not wild elves.{S}
 And here I thought it was only royal bastards you play the nursemaid to, not elven derelicts.{S}
 And here I thought it was only royal bastards you play the nursemaid to, not Orzammar's rejects.{S}
 And here I thought it was only royal bastards you played the nursemaid to.{S}
 That is a start.{S}
 You have my sympathies on what happened to your order.{S}
 It is unfortunate that they chose to turn against Ferelden.{S}
 Why not call your poison by its true name?{S}
 How long you have been gone from court, Eamon!{S}
 Do not you recognize Rendon Howe, Arl of Amaranthine, and Teyrn of Highever?{S}
 The regent has been... generous to those who prove loyal.{S}
 Do not interrupt, churl.{S}
 I had hoped to talk you down from this rash course, Eamon.{S}
 Would you see her work destroyed?{S}
 Cailan depended on the Grey Warden's prowess against the darkspawn, and look how well that ended.{S}
 Let us speak of reality, rather than tall tales.{S}
 I cannot forgive what you have done, Loghain.{S}
 Alistair will be the one to lead us to victory in this Blight.{S}
 Oh, is that all I have to do?{S}
 The emperor of Orlais also thought I could not bring him down.{S}
 There is nothing I would not do for my homeland.{S}
 I did not expect Loghain to show himself quite so soon.{S}
 I would have imagined pigs would fly before Loghain Mac Tir would turn against our king.{S}
 My sister married King Maric while he was still in exile.{S}
 When Loghain joined Maric's rebels, he was just a rawboned boy.{S}
 But he got on one knee to swear that he would see Ferelden free or die trying.{S}
 He made us a free people once more.{S}
 I would never have believed he would do anything but what was best for Ferelden.{S}
 The Chantry speaks truly about the corruption of power if a man like Loghain could go and do this.{S}
 I admit Rendon Howe has never been my favorite man to deal with.{S}
 I would not have thought Loghain would trust him.{S}
 Maric's mother was the "Rebel Queen," the one who kept the heart of Ferelden beating when so much of it seemed dead.{S}
 It was a tragedy she never lived to see her son take her throne.{S}
 Calling the Landsmeet is only the start.{S}
 We have no small task ahead of us.{S}
 We need eyes and ears in the city.{S}
 Loghain has been here for months.{S}
 The roots of all his schemes must begin here.{S}
 The sooner we find them, the better we can turn them to our advantage.{S}
 Go have a look around and see what you can turn up.{S}
 Better yet, find the nobles who have arrived for the Landsmeet.{S}
 Test the waters, see how many will support us.{S}
 I should put my faith in untried foreign hands?{S}
 Do you think I am blind?{S}
 You have no rights.{S}
 Have you heard anything of Alistair?{S}
 Are there any other allies we can use?{S}
 I should get to my room.{S}
 I have proof Loghain was involved in slave trading.{S}
 Would it make you happy to know Loghain is selling elves?{S}
 I should get to work.{S}
 Why do you think Anora is trouble?{S}
 I have got work to do.{S}
 Why do you think she is trouble?{S}
 Why is it so important to put Maric's son on the throne?{S}
 Alistair does not know the first thing about being king.{S}
 Maybe Alistair should marry Anora.{S}
 Why does that matter?{S}
 I think she would make a better ruler than Alistair.{S}
 Loghain is the only trouble I care about.{S}
 What do you think he is doing in the alienage?{S}
 It almost makes me want to kill you less.{S}
 Eamon, what is she doing here?{S}
 Can he still take the throne without you?{S}
 So we rescued you... to what end?{S}
 It sounds more like you need us.{S}
 I think I have seen as much dungeon as I ever want to.{S}
 Does Anora being here affect our plans for the Landsmeet?{S}
 How much time do we have to stop him?{S}
 I do not trust this Erlina.{S}
 Do you truly think Loghain's daughter would turn on him?{S}
 What do you know about Queen Anora?{S}
 I will meet Erlina at Howe's estate.{S}
 If Anora rules, let her speak for herself.{S}
 I do not accept the sympathies of deserters and regicides.{S}
 When does the Landsmeet begin?{S}
 When does the Landsmeet begin?{S}
 That is a lot of titles for one man to have.{S}
 I support Alistair, the rightful king.{S}
 I have come to reveal your crimes at Ostagar.{S}
 Why is he doing this?{S}
 Have you known Loghain a long time?{S}
 I can not let him get away with it.{S}
 Prove it to the Landsmeet.{S}
 It will end soon enough.{S}
 Considering Ostagar, perhaps we need a better general.{S}
 Take that, dire bunny!{S}
 We are teaching him about honesty.{S}
 Wh-what are you doing?{S}
 I... uhh... carry on.{S}
 You are right; she has this coming.{S}
 I do not want someone else coming in on you.{S}
 She is a right bitch, I grant you, but I have a job to do.{S}
 Sophie does not deserve your loyalty.{S}

 He is still mad about the time I accidentally told that barkeep Beraht had demanded free ale delivered to my door--{S}
 Hey, I just had an idea...{S}
 I was going to say we should go up in the stands and start a rockslide, but you are brilliant!{S}
 So, you have been rubbing my nose in how you are the meanest thing with a blade, right?{S}
 You will go out in his armor, keep down the visor, and fight in his name.{S}
 Do not tell me that does not sound appealing.{S}
 You have got a heart of steel, salroka.{S}
 Get in the armor.{S}
 You can not let anyone know it is you.{S}
 If they find out, you will be executed.{S}
 If you want to tell the Wardens, at least wait until some time when you can bolt if you need to.{S}
 Got it!{S}
 Let us do it quickly.{S}
 We do not have much time.{S}
 I will keep watch for the guards.{S}
 And do not put on that armor until you are done.{S}
 I could put on his armor.{S}
 You know, fight in his name...{S}
 Do I want to hear this?{S}
 If I do this I will win by skill alone.{S}
 I will not use the drug.{S}
 I will put on the armor now.{S}
 You find Mainar and drug him.{S}
 I will need to drug Mainar first.{S}
 You just take care of drugging Mainar and I will do the rest.{S}
 What've you got?{S}
 Apparently you have the monopoly on cleverness.{S}
 I did not know I could either. <desc>Chuckles</desc>{S}
 Rogue Mage <emp>Get an explanation from Slim</emp>{S}
 Couldry owes you an explanation. <desc>The man flees.</desc>{S}
 Prices keep on climbing.{S}
 You think he is read all those?{S}
 Do you get the feeling things are just getting worse as we go up?{S}
 I have never been aware in the Fade like this before, not so I remember.{S}
 I hope most of the people were able to flee on ships before the horde got here!{S}
 We need to get inside!{S}
 You ever wonder why the mages built their tower out in the middle of Lake Calenhad?{S}
 They have an aversion to practicality or something?{S}
 That is not something elves do here?{S}
 I wonder if the children get to climb it?{S}
 Arl Eamon once bought me a miniature golem doll, here... when I was young.{S}
 They say you can get anything here.{S}
 I once got pick-pocketed.{S}
 The arl used to come here in the winter when I was small.{S}
 This is where the nobility comes to get drunk and decide who is the most self-important of them all.{S}
 Where do you think they get all this stuff?{S}
 You think they, um, have any miniature golem dolls?{S}
 Why do they call it a brothel?{S}
 Maybe She had buck teeth.{S}
 How do they move these things through the forest?{S}
 Do the trees just get out of their way, or what?{S}
 There are places where those horns bring huge prices.{S}
 Let us try not to get too lost.{S}
 It is easy to get turned around in a place like this.{S}
 Was it built in the forest, or did the forest come later?{S}
 Did the elves live underground just like the dwarves?{S}
 Most traders are not allowed into Orzammar, so they just sort of... gather near the doors.{S}
 I tried dwarven ale once.{S}
 The Proving Grounds.{S}
 So how is it the dwarves have a king?{S}
 Let me guess: this is where the poor people live?{S}
 How long do you think it is been since anyone has walked in these halls? <desc>Whistles</desc> How long do you think it is been since dwarves lived here?{S}
 I have never heard of any village out this way.{S}
 That is Archon Hessarian, the magister who ordered Andraste burned to death, and then took mercy on Her at the last second.{S}
 Oh, do not be such a baby.{S}
 You have done well.{S}
 Do not bump into me, you clumsy oaf.{S}
 Now all you have to do is go to his stall and help yourself.{S}
 How often does he need the blasted thing polished, I ask you.{S}
 It is not cannibalism if <emp>he is</emp> eating it, you know.{S}
 Do not listen to Alistair; he is full of rubbish.{S}
 If you have had it and did not know it, it probably was tasty.{S}
 Pick Pocket Quests.{S}
 You know that is not what we use magic for. <desc>Sighs</desc> Just... make him sleep over on the other side of the camp.{S}
 With any luck, that will keep all the stench confined to one small area...{S}
 No, that is not what magic is used for.{S}
 Can not you just wave your staff and make him clean?{S}
 I will get my soaps, and the dog shall have his bath after supper!{S}
 He is getting a little rank. <desc><DogName/> digs furiously in the ground at your feet.</desc>{S}
 Trying to find a way through the earth, are we? <desc>Low, menacing growl</desc> <desc>Angry snarl</desc> <desc>Vicious growl</desc> <desc>Loud, terrifying roar</desc>{S}
 I seek to understand the dog.{S}
 We fight alongside each other and I must discover the strength of his heart.{S}
 Carry on then.{S}
 Do you know what he is talking about, <DogName/>?{S}
 Well, could you keep it down at least? <desc><DogName/> wags his tail and looks at Sten.</desc> ... yes, it is good to have my sword at my side again.{S}
 She is forged from rare blue steel, and has served me faithfully for many years. <desc>He sits down and watches Sten attentively.</desc>{S}
 Yes, you understand what it is like to have a weapon that is part of you.{S}
 Few others do.{S}
 You have acquired some ironbark in the forest; could it be useful to someone back at the camp?{S}
 "Get me a drink," they say.{S}
 I will get 'em a drink.{S}
 What do you think the villagers would say to me taking a dip in the lake naked?{S}
 Ooh, that is huge. <desc>Giggles</desc> I wonder how long it took to <emp>erect</emp> it. <desc>Giggles</desc> Get it?{S}
 Have I ever mentioned I can not swim? <desc>Sniffs</desc> And here I thought elves all smelled of wildflowers and sunshine.{S}
 I bet I am the first dwarf to step foot in here.{S}
 Branka used to drag me into stores like this all the time.{S}
 Before she went crazy she used to collect little ceramic horses.{S}
 I have got a craving for some spit-roasted nug with hot sauce.{S}
 You think they have that here?{S}
 I have always wanted a head of an adulterer, preserved in honey.{S}
 That servant keeps putting on airs.{S}
 It is good to keep him in his place.{S}
 You do not want the captain to hear you have been uncooperative, do you?{S}
 You have had enough cider to last you a week.{S}
 I do have other duties, you know. <desc>Coughs</desc>That... that cider.{S}
 No, no I did not!{S}
 I have steered you straight more than a time or two.{S}
 Listen, Warden, you have to trust me.{S}
 Well, I do not know if you will believe me, but...{S}
 I think <emp>you</emp> set that trap on me.{S}
 You are lucky I am letting you walk away.{S}
 So he closed the whole wing down for a week, he did.{S}
 But the thief got away?{S}
 That he... or she... did.{S}
 Carry about your rounds.{S}
 Anything else I should be doing?{S}
 Just keep going in circles?{S}
 Keep your eyes open.{S}
 Nobody's going to make it this far without us knowing it.{S}
 I am sure that is <emp>exactly</emp> what the last watch captain said right before the thief done him in.{S}
 And they told me everyone was treated the same on the surface.{S}
 Wonder why... <desc>Burp!</desc> M-maybe I should not have eaten that piece of meat I found...{S}
 T-that lump... that did not just... quiver, did it?{S}
 Touch <emp>nothing</emp>!{S}
 I do not think they clean the surfaces in this place very often.{S}
 Coming, I am bloody coming. <desc>Sneezes</desc> All this greenery is making me sick.{S}
 My mother told me never to trust anything that could make turds larger than you are.{S}
 Looks like these fellows have marked their territory.{S}
 Let us not spend too much time here.{S}
 I thought it would have fallen into dust by now.{S}
 I need, uh, a moment of silence. <desc>Farts</desc>{S}
 I wonder if they have a tavern.{S}
 Something about this place makes my skin prickle.{S}
 I bet that thing's going to collapse the second we are all standing on it. <desc>This table has a couple of wine bottles, cups, and a couple mugs of freshly poured cider.</desc> <act>Pour a mild poison into the mugs.</act> <act>Pour a deadly poison into the mugs.</act> <act>Pour a sleeping draught into the mugs.</act> <act>Pour rat poison into the mugs.</act> <act>Leave the table alone.</act> <desc>You poisoned the drinks on the table.{S}
 Andraste was a small woman, huh? <desc>He goes back to digging.</desc> <desc>Short bark</desc> <desc>He continues digging.</desc> <desc><DogName/> ignores you and keeps digging.</desc> <desc>Grumbling whine</desc>{S}
 It is going to take some time, you know.{S}
 Oh, do not be silly; you will just mess up the campsite.{S}
 Have fun then! <desc>He whines and hangs head.</desc>{S}
 You are making a mess.{S}
 These people do not deserve what has happened to them.{S}
 We must get to the bottom of this.{S}
 At the very least it does not look to be much used.{S}
 I half-expected to find him here, but...{S}
 What did you think of her?{S}
 Well, she also had blond curls worn in a long braid.{S}
 So, what did you think?{S}
 T-this... cannot continue.{S}
 We have to stop it... <desc>Gasps</desc> It is a templar!{S}
 The Fade can be beautiful, but do not let that fool you.{S}
 Look at what the horde has done to the city!{S}
 We must get inside!{S}
 I have never been in an alienage.{S}
 I once had my portrait painted by an artist in the square here.{S}
 I believe Arl Eamon's father had that fountain built.{S}
 Of course, after that all the other nobles had to have one.{S}
 I wonder if they have a good plum wine...{S}
 I never thought I would ever set foot in a Dalish camp.{S}
 Let us hope we do not join them.{S}
 There is something about this place that makes my skin crawl.{S}
 I wonder what this ruin used to be.{S}
 Did you hear that?{S}
 I did not expect it to be this crowded.{S}
 For a tiny people they certainly build high ceilings...{S}
 Does that lead out to the Deep Roads?{S}
 I have always wanted to try some of their ale.{S}
 They do not kill each other in the arena, do they?{S}
 I mean... why would anyone find that entertaining?{S}
 The noble houses do love their luxuries, do not they?{S}
 Wonder why they decided to build a city around streams of lava.{S}
 Oh, I can just imagine how grand this fortress must have been, before the darkspawn took it.{S}
 All this used to be part of the dwarven kingdom.{S}
 I am finally beginning to understand the scope of their loss.{S}
 Oh, I would love to spend a day here!{S}
 Have we been turned around?{S}
 How does anyone navigate these halls?{S}
 It would not want to eat me anyway.{S}
 Do you feel that?{S}
 I did not believe...{S}
 Do you think it is something in the water?{S}
 I once took a ride on the sails of a windmill.{S}
 Did not turn out well.{S}
 I wonder who built this tunnel, and why.{S}
 Do you hear that?{S}
 All this must have belonged to someone important.{S}
 I do not like this place.{S}
 I am going to have nightmares after this.{S}
 I have never had a waking dream before...{S}
 Do you think we are allowed to swim in it?{S}
 Do you see the tower?{S}
 I have never been in one!{S}
 Do you think they sell silk ribbons in that store?{S}
 I have been meaning to spruce up my boots for the longest time.{S}
 I bought a confection of spun sugar here once.{S}
 It got stuck in my hair.{S}
 Made it hard to comb out but it was very tasty for a few days.{S}
 Provided the arl's chamberlain does not have you thrown in the dungeon, of course.{S}
 Look at what that woman's wearing!{S}
 Is she drunk or does she just have bad taste?{S}
 I once did a stint in a brothel, serving tea.{S}
 Do you think it is possible that places have memories, just like people do?{S}
 I must say I thought the Dalish would be much harder to find.{S}
 Do you think this clan <emp>let</emp> us find them?{S}
 I feel as though we have been walking in circles for hours!{S}
 Do you think it is safe to be in here?{S}
 I have a bad feeling about this passageway.{S}
 Why do not we turn back?{S}
 Do you think they sell miniatures of these in the city?{S}
 I would love to have some on my mantle.{S}
 Woke up a week later in Jader wearing nothing but my shoes and a towel.{S}
 I hear there are all kinds of rules that govern the Proving.{S}
 They get very mad if you break the rules.{S}
 From what I have heard of dwarven politics, I am almost surprised we haven't seen blood running these streets.{S}
 You know, after all this is over, I would not mind getting a job here.{S}
 I could sing, tell stories, help the king get items from high shelves...{S}
 I require a moment of silence to take in this magnificent sight.{S}
 Do you think the darkspawn ate them all?{S}
 I do not like this.{S}
 Maybe we should have a look.{S}
 I do not suppose anyone would mind if I borrowed a book or two?{S}
 They say that Archon Hessarian heard the voice of the Maker as Andraste was burning, and this is why he chose to end Her suffering.{S}
 Do you think this mountain is about to erupt?{S}
 Because I do not really want to be here when it does.{S}
 I bet we will have to work together and join hands and sing a happy song to get across!{S}
 I do not know what to say...{S}
 Your match has not yet been announced, Everd.{S}
 Take me, but just...{S}
 Andraste, I do not want to go yet.{S}
 Do you hear me, Ser Wilhem, Ser Wilhem?{S}
 I will not have our fight spread to the market.{S}
 You are running out of time, get to the fight!{S}
 Quit fooling around and get in the armor.{S}
 The fight's almost starting!{S}
 Fighters, make final preparations then report to the ring.{S}
 Get in there and drug the water.{S}
 You need to distract Mainar so I can sneak in.{S}
 We are paid up until the end of the month.{S}
 Good for them, but I do not care any more.{S}
 Listen, all we done is on the account of Arl Howe.{S}
 The arl you done in.{S}
 We just chose the wrong side.{S}
 Paedan, the Warden has returned.{S}
 Be more careful in choosing your employers.{S}
 With the Wardens name cleared in the Landsmeet, you doubt Ser Landry will want his revenge anymore.{S}
 Get a... load...{S}
 Right now as a matter of fact.{S}
 I do not give a rat's turd who you are, Warden. <emp>Nobody</emp> gives orders to my men but me.{S}
 With the Landsmeet over, Slim Couldry does not want to conduct any more breaking and entering missions.{S}
 He has no more jobs to offer you.{S}
 I have heard the news--the Landsmeet is over.{S}
 But it does put our... activities, in a bit more delicate a situation.{S}
 Let me know if you want to buy something.{S}
 No more breaking and entering--but I do not mind some pick pocketing.{S}
 Let me know if you need something, and good job! <emp>A Fistful of Silver</emp>{S}
 With Arl Howe's death, the nearby warehouse storing his silver bars has probably been emptied.{S}
 You did not find Rexel in Arl Howe's estate, and it is no longer safe to go back.{S}
 I need a hand here.{S}
 I think you got me...{S}
 I could use a hand here.{S}
 I should have known just looking at you.{S}
 I think... you almost got me...{S}
 You are going to pay for that insult, Everd.{S}
 Have you seen Everd about?{S}
 You are going to eat dust in the ring.{S}
 I have got preparations to make.{S}
 Trian is dead and you have been named the murderer by your traitorous brother Bhelen.{S}
 You have been sentenced to exile in the Deep Roads, to fight the darkspawn until you are overwhelmed and killed.{S}
 Get out of my way.{S}
 Everd... going to pay for this...{S}
 Grey Warden arrives in Orzammar, undoubtedly to offer assistance to Lord Harrowmont!{S}
 Grey Warden arrives in Orzammar, most likely to pay respects to the rightful king, Prince Bhelen!{S}
 You have dedicated your victory to Prince Bhelen.{S}
 I am honored to have fought against you.{S}
 Last time they fought, the entire front row got showered in blood.{S}
 South Reach Soldier{S}
 You are lucky they did not execute you on the spot, brand.{S}
 I would have.{S}
 My lady has returned!{S}
 My lord has returned!{S}
 Let me see.{S}
 We have a fight to prepare for.{S}
 I am not going anywhere, so do not waste your breath. <desc>Coughs</desc> <desc>Coughs</desc> Spare a coin?{S}
 I can not find my daughter! <desc>Coughs</desc> I told her not to wander too far from the house. <desc>Coughs</desc> <desc>Coughs</desc> Do not stare at me!{S}
 Is Mother Boann here yet? <desc>Coughs</desc> What is taking her so long?{S}
 There is no way I am going near mages... <desc>coughs</desc> <desc>Coughs</desc> They took my husband three days ago... <desc>Coughs</desc> <desc>Coughs</desc> They opened the gates yet?{S}
 I need to go to the market.{S}
 Here to buy something, or were you just thinking of wrecking another part of my shop?{S}
 How did you... where did you come from?{S}
 Y-you made a hole in my wall!{S}
 It... it does?{S}
 If people find out about this, my business will be ruined!{S}
 They will think I have something to do with Jarvia!{S}
 I do not have anything to do with them!{S}
 When they built this part of the city, they must have built over some tunnels.{S}
 I swear, I had no idea.{S}
 I do not want anything to do with this.{S}
 And if anyone comes asking, I am gonna tell them <emp>you</emp> did it!{S}
 Did you... you did, did not you?{S}
 There better not be more of your trouble-making kind crawling in after you.{S}
 That hole leads to a tunnel in the carta's hideout.{S}
 You did not know about this?{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 So get it fixed.{S}
 Do you have anything to do with the carta?{S}
 Yes, you should get it fixed.{S}
 Does that mean it is a real Blight?{S}
 Maker's breath, what is taking so long?{S}
 I just want to get back to my home and family.{S}
 Y-you made a hole in my wall!{S}
 Get out of here!{S}
 Do not even think about shoving in front of me.{S}
 I have been out here all day.{S}
 I hope I get to see the healers today.{S}
 I have been waiting every day for a week to see a healer.{S}
 What is taking so long?{S}
 If I miss another day of work, I will lose my job.{S}
 The shems are likely doing this to taunt us.{S}
 What if I have the plague?{S}
 I can not believe they keep us waiting like this.{S}
 I have been here all day!{S}
 If they would done their job at Ostagar, the plague never would have gotten this far. <desc>sigh</desc> I could really use a pint.{S}
 Anyone in line could have the plague.{S}
 What if I get it while waiting here?{S}
 My sister was taken to the hospice.{S}
 How long do we have to wait?{S}
 Elva got the plague.{S}
 That girl's got a lot of nerve.{S}
 It is not like <emp>she</emp> has a family to worry about.{S}
 What are they doing up there, reciting the Chant of Light?{S}
 This would never have happened when the king was alive.{S}
 I do not like the look of that guard.{S}
 I have got children waiting, hurry up!{S}
 Do you think this magic of theirs hurts? <desc>Sigh</desc> Another day in line...{S}
 You can make out an inscription carved into its face.</desc> <desc>"Cast off the trappings of worldly life and cloak yourself in the goodness of spirit.{S}
 King and slave, lord and beggar; be born anew in the Maker's sight."</desc> <act>Remove equipment.</act> <act>Take equipment back.</act> <act>Leave altar.</act> <emp>Return to Athras with news about Danyla</emp>{S}
 You met a werewolf who said she was once an elf called Danyla.{S}
 She wanted you to bring her scarf to her husband, Athras, but you traded it to the strange hermit in the woods.{S}
 You have noble intentions, Brother Genitivi, but can you say the same of your brethren in the Chantry?{S}
 So everyone comes by and takes some ashes from the Urn?{S}
 You did not have to do that!{S}
 You may have your reasons for wanting to keep the Urn a secret, but I sincerely doubt they were worth the life of this good man.{S}
 Let us hope there is a lot of Andraste to go around.{S}
 Then I need you to sign this form.{S}
 Find your own!{S}
 I have faith in my friends well enough.{S}
 I bet they are used for something.{S}
 Maybe I should touch them.{S}
 Yes, next time we see a strange contraption, why do not you just go stand on it?{S}
 You... er... do not really think they are traps, do you?{S}
 I suspect we will have to work together to get across.{S}
 Do you think those interesting looking sections of floor on the side of this chasm have something to do with getting across?{S}
 Tell me what you would have me do here, kadan, and it will be done. <desc>He barks happily and prances about.</desc>{S}
 Hey, by making parts of the bridge appear in the correct sequence, we could work together to get someone across to the other side.{S}
 I think we can get one person across, by causing the right parts of the bridge to appear, but what about the rest of us?{S}
 We just need to figure out the right order...{S}
 Someone could slowly make their way across!{S}
 Where I come from bridges are made of solid rock and do not appear and disappear... usually.{S}
 There will be much to do tomorrow and little enough time to rest before it.{S}
 I will let you return to your rooms.{S}
 I guess this ends soon, one way or another.{S}
 That it does, my friend, that it does.{S}
 Then this will be dealt with soon, one way or the other.{S}
 Let us hope it ends for the better.{S}
 Do you believe you failed Jowan?{S}
 Do you believe you failed Shianni?{S}
 Do you believe you failed Tamlen?{S}
 Do you believe you failed Trian?{S}
 Do you believe you failed your friends and family?{S}
 Do you believe you failed your parents?{S}
 How do you know of my past?{S}
 How did he get free?{S}
 And just stood there, waiting to be taken away?{S}
 The sloth demon itself is on the center island, but you can not get there.{S}
 I thought I was getting somewhere when I figured that out, and I went to each island in turn only to have my hopes dashed.{S}
 Maces of this type haven't been made since the time of King Ansgar.{S}
 The handle of this axe bears the mark of House Bera.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You might find a way to reach them through the islands... if you are lucky.{S}
 I do not know much.{S}
 I think the sloth demon has placed lesser demons on each of the islands.{S}
 I have seen them.{S}
 They take different shapes but they are there.{S}
 Defeating them may be the only way to reach the sloth demon.{S}
 But you have to get to them first.{S}
 I was too afraid to try.{S}
 Y-you think you will find a way out, do not you?{S}
 Despite the gouges in the steel from the claws and swords of darkspawn, this shield is still well-kept, and bears the mark of warrior House Bera.{S}
 They appear to be common make, the sort that can be bought from any merchant in the Commons.{S}
 The mark of House Bera is plainly visible on the lining of these boots, but the smiths mark has been worn off the soles.{S}
 I think I will go take a look at this pedestal.{S}
 We have gathered all the forces we can.{S}
 The darkspawn horde is sure to reach the capital before us, and so we must race to Denerim as quickly as we can.{S}
 You have gathered an army to replace the one lost at Ostagar, Grey Warden.{S}
 Let us pray that it will be enough.{S}
 I have been waiting days for the opportunity.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 What do you think I could possibly help you with?{S}
 Fancy meeting you here!{S}
 I heard rumors that Redcliffe was once again open for business, but my word!{S}
 The arl has kindly offered my son and I lodgings in exchange for supplies.{S}
 If you have need of my wares, you have but to ask!{S}
 Is this where humans keep all their wisdom?{S}
 Your behavior makes much more sense to me now.{S}
 We will take the field.{S}
 Then let us bring this gift to the archdemon.{S}
 We have reached the battlefield at last.{S}
 I have done nothing.{S}
 You have carried us this far.{S}
 Do not doubt that.{S}
 Did not you?{S}
 I did.{S}
 I stand here looking into its eyes, and still I have no answer for him.{S}
 But perhaps you do.{S}
 I almost did not expect to reach it.{S}
 Something happened, did not it?{S}
 Did you?{S}
 Did it help?{S}
 Were you small enough to get through?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I was so sure it was impossible to get anywhere...{S}
 Do you think you could learn other shapes?{S}
 Maybe they could help you get to places you could not otherwise...{S}
 I thought you would given up.{S}
 What did you do?{S}
 You did?{S}
 You managed to get to it?{S}
 I did not think it was possible.{S}
 Killing that demon must have opened something.{S}
 Do not worry about it.{S}
 You opened up a path to another island, did not you?{S}
 Do you think someone might be trapped there?{S}
 I wonder if you could free them.{S}
 I think you have tools that can deal with it.{S}
 The cursed runes name it true.{S}
 The demons do so love their flame.{S}
 I got out of there as quickly as I could.{S}
 Though maybe if you could find a way to make yourself immune to the fire...{S}
 Well, do not mind me.{S}
 I am just sitting here, waiting for the end.{S}
 Do not mind me then.{S}
 Why do they call you, "the sten?"{S}
 Make my....{S}
 Will you allow tradition to keep you from the path of enlightenment?{S}
 You do not have to believe that.{S}
 With the destruction of Lothering, it is likely that all surrounding wildlife has been driven off.{S}
 You freed the templar?{S}
 You can find them scattered through the Fade.{S}
 Perhaps some other island will give you the means to bypass them?{S}
 I could never reach him.{S}
 He must have been in terrible misery...{S}
 But does not a metal door blocks your way?{S}
 But the mouse sought refuge there when I visited--he must have found paths hidden to us.{S}
 You have done so much, in so little time.{S}
 They killed the dreamer before you got to him.{S}
 What do you mean "see?"{S}
 The ancestors have spoken.{S}
 After learning that Lord Dace was trying to take advantage of you and your house, you challenged him to an honor Proving.{S}
 Unfortunately, you lost the Proving to Mandar Dace.{S}
 The ancestors have spoken and judged House Dace's cause to be righteous.{S}
 Let us soak in the vista before the massacre begins.{S}
 Who would build such a thing?{S}
 Escape tunnels make such very handy entrance tunnels, do not you think?{S}
 A fitting end for those who gave up their own freedom.{S}
 Have you ever heard the saying "let sleeping abominations lie?"{S}
 A great power has been unleashed in this place.{S}
 I do not think we are alone, here...{S}
 Is that all these mages do with their time, here?{S}
 You know, I am willing to bet there is a tome or two in here that would fetch a lovely price on the market.{S}
 'Tis strange that we have not seen more resistance.{S}
 Not one of these Fade constructs has ever been interesting in the slightest.{S}
 How very fitting that they would build a prison for mages in the middle of a lake and make it look like a giant phallus.{S}
 Uh, do you think that perhaps there are magical beasts swimming in the lake, guarding their magic tower?{S}
 What is the name they have for mother and I?{S}
 The good thing about mages, I find, is that they die much like any other.{S}
 You just need to worry about what happens <emp>before</emp> that.{S}
 Only a metal door stands in your way, but that does not pose much of a challenge for you anymore, does it?{S}
 I think the demon that rules there is second only to the sloth demon in power.{S}
 But I almost have... faith, you will succeed.{S}
 A key that was taken from Myaja.{S}
 And these elves allow themselves to be herded together in this filth why, exactly?{S}
 It rather beckons a single, sad little tear, does it not?{S}
 Should I even try to imagine what the owner of such a store might consider a "wonder"?{S}
 I have heard of this "Wonders of Thedas" even in Antiva.{S}
 I... have never seen such a collection of merchants and people before.{S}
 Supposedly it brings one luck.{S}
 They say you can never go home again, but for ten silvers an hour you can get pretty close.{S}
 In my experience, <emp>everyone</emp> pays for sex.{S}
 Yes, let us run errands for the betterment of mankind as well as a few coppers.{S}
 Praying for help from a prophet they burned and a god who has turned His back on them not once but twice.{S}
 Ghosts always give me the shivers.{S}
 At least they have chosen freedom over subjugation.{S}
 They even lead an elf to oblivion when he dies... or so they claim.{S}
 And here I thought I had left the Wilds behind for good.{S}
 I wonder if there are other treasures to be found here besides wolf droppings?{S}
 Or the Tevinter built this place for them?{S}
 We should prepare ourselves for combat.{S}
 Are we going to get to enter Orzammar?{S}
 I do not believe they allow non-dwarves within.{S}
 Where did they put all the rock, I wonder...{S}
 Do you think anyone ever falls in?{S}
 This no doubt leads out to the Deep Roads, the ancient passages that once led to the other dwarven kingdoms.{S}
 I do not even want to think from what manner of substance a cave-dwelling people would create their spirits.{S}
 Just... do not buy anything.{S}
 Or touch anything.{S}
 Do you know that dwarven ale is not truly ale at all?{S}
 Ah, the highlight of underground existence, I take it.{S}
 I hear that if the spectators do not approve of a match's outcome, they rush the field and kill the fighters.{S}
 Let me guess.{S}
 Ah, the social strata quickly makes itself evident no matter where one goes.{S}
 For such a short people they do rather like their buildings... tall.{S}
 Why do the poor not rise up against their betters?{S}
 How many such places have been lost to the darkspawn, I wonder?{S}
 Do you hear it?{S}
 Are we to be taught the entire history of Andraste, now?{S}
 If there is anyone in charge of these cultists, we have not met them yet...{S}
 I... feel like we have just entered the Grand Cleric's bedchambers.{S}
 Where no one has gone before...{S}
 Let us put our heads together.{S}
 I believe we could get one person across, but only one, by making the bridge appear in the correct sequence.{S}
 Perhaps we could allow one person to cross the bridge?{S}
 The Grey Wardens <emp>Use the Urn to heal Arl Eamon</emp>{S}
 You found the Urn of Sacred Ashes.{S}
 Use it on Arl Eamon to heal him.{S}
 We can not leave now, Beraht will kill us! <desc>An unnatural, darkened flame burns here.</desc> <desc>A tool is required to extinguish the flame.</desc> <desc>Used the dark pearl.</desc> <desc>Used the taper.</desc> <desc>A tool is required to rekindle the fire.</desc> <desc>A pure flame burns.</desc>{S}
 You have the heart anyhow, do you not?{S}
 Why do you leave without the heart?{S}
 Unless you have decided to help us after all, I suggest you speak to my apprentice, Lanaya, or perhaps Sarel.{S}
 I have much to do, I fear.{S}
 What do you need to know?{S}
 I have decided to find Witherfang, as you asked.{S}
 I will help, but I make no promises.{S}
 You have left me little choice.{S}
 There are a few other senior enchanters, but they might ask why you would need the rod, and we do not want to draw attention to ourselves.{S}
 Try the library.{S}
 I have agreed to help no one.{S}
 (Do not go back.){S}
 (Do not go back.){S}
 (Do not go back.){S}
 Senior Mage Leorah, grateful to you for having cleared out the spiders, has given you some useful items.{S}
 I do!{S}
 I put aside these potions some time ago, but never found a use for them.{S}
 Hope you find a use for those potions!{S}
 Do not you owe me a favor?{S}
 Do you have anything useful you can give me?{S}
 Well, I can not just have you go away with nothing.{S}
 I have already taken care of that.{S}
 I have these potions here that I have never found a use for.{S}
 You can have them.{S}
 I bet they will come in handy.{S}
 Do not worry about that.{S}
 Well... let us just say I owe you a favor.{S}
 They have no orders while throne stands empty!{S}
 Make Harrowmont your king now!{S}
 Legion of the Dead warriors secretly wear Prince Bhelen's colors!{S}
 Our prince has Orzammar's deadliest warriors behind him!{S}
 You have made Prince Bhelen Aeducan the king of Orzammar.{S}
 King Bhelen wears the Paragon's crown, and has the favor of the ancestors.{S}
 Hanashan needs to be alone before her fight.{S}
 Do you really know what is going on here?{S}
 We are all special... big parts to play.{S}
 You... you want to play?{S}
 Why does not anyone want to hear me talk?{S}
 Elder Miriam has heard of your unsavory deeds and wishes nothing to do with you.{S}
 Allison wants no more to do with you now that you have been branded a troublemaker.{S}
 Did you see that fight?{S}
 In the old days those men would've been told to join the Legion of the Dead.{S}
 At least then they would put that anger to good use.{S}
 Do not know.{S}
 I will take anything you can give.{S}
 How much do you want for him?{S}
 But you said you would pay!{S}
 I do not have anything, sorry.{S}
 The guards will jump at any opportunity to put you to death.{S}
 Perhaps we should set off for Ostagar immediately?{S}
 If you wish to say your goodbyes, do so quickly.{S}
 Ah, you have changed your mind.{S}
 I think I need your help.{S}
 Well, Grey Warden, I will give you credit for backbone.{S}
 You have dug a line through the spawn.{S}
 If I would heard it second hand I would have called it a sodding lie.{S}
 Warden, we have got a king because of you.{S}
 Still no sense in your head, but you have got skill.{S}
 I have never seen one of your kind in the Deep Roads.{S}
 In the Legion of the Dead, we abandon our lives to be free of fear, free of hopeful blindness.{S}
 The Legion gives no quarter!{S}
 Let them believe they hold us here.{S}
 They are breathing smoke if we let them breathe at all!{S}
 And yet you do not sound surprised.{S}
 That is the warmest greeting I have had since returning.{S}
 The surprise is not that you have come, but that you have come in so small a number.{S}
 It is an odd tactic, recruiting from the frontline.{S}
 It is why we in the Legion of the Dead abandon our lives, so we can face them without fear.{S}
 It lets us act without distraction.{S}
 Despite what we might have thought of you in life.{S}
 Your mages have an unhealthy fascination for women with bowls.{S}
 Then you will do it?{S}
 You will end the curse?{S}
 Let us... let us put an end to it all.{S}
 Tonight we have vengeance!{S}
 Magic at work.{S}
 I have seen better.{S}
 Let us go!{S}
 We are keeping the archdemon waiting!{S}
 Has going topside let you forget the Legion of the Dead?{S}
 We abandon our lives to be free of fear and hopeful blindness.{S}
 What do you want here, warden?{S}
 I need to find Paragon Branka.{S}
 I am working with Prince Bhelen.{S}
 Were your people being thrifty by building this place from refuse?{S}
 When that falls, it will take out no fewer than three houses.{S}
 I am working with Lord Harrowmont.{S}
 What does that even mean?{S}
 Do they sell geography questions?{S}
 Very innovative, making a place for idiots to gather where they will not be underfoot.{S}
 Too... frilly. ...I do not want to know.{S}
 No one in your country repairs anything when they occupy it, do they?{S}
 Is it just me, or do all these statues look alike?{S}
 Why would such a small people build things so tall?{S}
 They must own an impressive array of ladders. ...I should have stayed in that cage.{S}
 I suppose that building the city in the midst of a pool of molten rock saves invaders the trouble of burning it.{S}
 Blood has been spilled in battle here.{S}
 Oh, so the southern peoples do read.{S}
 You have found your pot of holy dirt.{S}
 Shall we hold the bridge while you cross?{S}
 But the Legion of the Dead has seen worse.{S}
 We abandon our lives to face these sods without fear.{S}
 Give me a good dwarven reason.{S}
 Give me a dwarven reason to look topside.{S}
 Who put this dull idea in your head?{S}
 We have got other things to worry about in Orzammar... ah, now I see.{S}
 The deep lords in the Assembly can not make up their minds, so the pretenders need added influence.{S}
 I get that right?{S}
 You are working for a fool.{S}
 What, does he need some weight to swing the vote in the Assembly?{S}
 Warden, you have got your work cut out for you.{S}
 I would gladly lead an assault through the Dead Trenches, but without an ass in the throne, we have no orders.{S}
 I will not take fool's gold from a pretender.{S}
 The Legion holds a line so those fools have time to put an ass on the throne.{S}
 I am working for your next king.{S}
 You have anything useful to add?{S}
 Why hold back?{S}
 So give me a better idea.{S}
 Wondering what your life would be like if you had stayed in Orzammar?{S}
 Few others of our kind would have you.{S}
 We accept anyone, and are revered in advance as heroes who have and will die in glorious battle.{S}
 It offers redemption for the promise of the greatest sacrifice.{S}
 Let us know if you find any Paragons.{S}
 You are as likely to find a dozen as one.{S}
 It is the song of the recruit hoping for a way back to caste or honor.{S}
 They get their head out of the smoke and accept their fate, or the Stone takes them.{S}
 You would be lucky to get it.{S}
 I hear the Grey Wardens have lost their standing.{S}
 That is all you need to know.{S}
 I did what I had to.{S}
 The other kingdoms only care when the darkspawn march in the light.{S}
 Blights take so long because we keep darkspawn in check.{S}
 Our resolve gives you a rest between Blights.{S}
 A surge on the surface would give us a break.{S}
 It frees us to fight to the darkspawn properly.{S}
 You will have us.{S}
 When you break the Blight, and you have got the skill, we will make sure they have nowhere to retreat.{S}
 You will have us indirectly.{S}
 You will have us too, warden!{S}
 You will have us too.{S}
 Our place is here, but when you break the blight, we will make sure the darkspawn have a fine welcome home.{S}
 It is more guarantee than any surfacer has had.{S}
 You alone have the skill to back up your words.{S}
 Each of the Legion owes our homeland a death, but if our lives are better shed on the surface, so be it!{S}
 You have our respect, but we belong here.{S}
 Each of the Legion owes our home a death.{S}
 I have never seen the like.{S}
 The throne restored and legends put to rest.{S}
 Grey Warden, you have impressed the best of us.{S}
 Stone met, Grey warden.{S}
 Have you found your Paragon or just the dust she left?{S}
 When the time comes, I will care for a good dwarven reason.{S}
 Like dusters have heard of respect.{S}
 Let them come.{S}
 Ferelden needs you at your best.{S}
 Orzammar is lucky to have you.{S}
 We need you topside.{S}
 It will have to do.{S}
 Something had some fun with these darkspawn.{S}
 The darkspawn have enemies of their own down here.{S}
 Who does that even to a darkspawn?{S}
 Someone has already made a brutal start on the darkspawn.{S}
 Someone down here takes a great deal of pleasure in a darkspawn kill.{S}
 I hope whoever did this is choosy about their targets.{S}
 You think whoever did this will stop long enough to see we are not darkspawn?{S}
 Seems our unseen friends have more than a passing hatred for darkspawn.{S}
 That is got serious potential.{S}
 No, I did not.{S}
 So... what did you do in there?{S}
 I would observe an object and then try to think of all the words in your language which began with the same letter as its name.{S}
 You are not telling me that you played, "I spy," <emp>against yourself</emp> for twenty days.{S}
 There are a lot of things in Lothering that begin with, "G."{S}
 I do not know this word.{S}
 Do not you feel cold?{S}
 I do not imagine we can find a cloak in your size, can we?{S}
 Nothing, do not mind me.{S}
 Now, I wonder where I could get a skein of good wool yarn...{S}
 I did not mean to stare.{S}
 I have never seen a qunari before.{S}
 I lived and worked in the Chantry, but I did not take any vows.{S}
 Oh no, the lay sisters do not have the same sorts of duties as priests at all.{S}
 So you were not a priest, did none of their duties, and took no vows, but you lived among them? ...You were a houseguest of the Chantry?{S}
 I did not say that.{S}
 How does this Qun determine who belongs in charge?{S}
 Back where we began.{S}
 Aye, despite your brother Bhelen's best efforts, sorrow finished what your kinslaying started.{S}
 You are the brand who dishonored the Proving.{S}
 It did not sing.{S}
 It did not dance.{S}
 Oh, you are not getting in.{S}
 Do not take it personally, elf.{S}
 I have a disdainful attitude towards everyone.{S}
 Who does not?{S}
 If I do not get in, no one should.{S}
 You will not get in talking about a king like that.{S}
 I have urgent need to talk to your king.{S}
 Why have your people retreated like this?{S}
 This begins with you.{S}
 Sorrow finished what your kinslaying started.{S}
 You better not let some pissant in after refusing Loghain's messenger.{S}
 You are letting in a traitor?{S}
 You are letting in a traitor?{S}
 In the name of King Loghain I demand that you execute this... stain on the honor of Ferelden!{S}
 Raise your blade if you are so tough!{S}
 Do not leave that fool with his blade out, Warden.{S}
 You are free to enter when he is out of my beard.{S}
 You are free to enter Orzammar, Grey Warden, though I do not know what help you will find.{S}
 You... your bluster will not work on me. <emp>I am</emp> a messenger of King Loghain!{S}
 Kill each other as you will, but take your sodding fight off my doorstep!{S}
 The Grey Wardens need their traditional dwarven allies.{S}
 My brother's death was a complicated matter.{S}
 If you <emp>have</emp> a handkerchief, then why not use it?{S}
 We all have our reasons for doing what we do.{S}
 Mine happen to come with a set of strong hands. <emp>Return to Arl Eamon and prepare to head to the Landsmeet</emp>{S}
 You have gathered your army, and the Landsmeet will soon be called.{S}
 Return to Arl Eamon in Redcliffe and prepare to head to Denerim. <emp>Use the Grey Warden treaties to gain the help of the different factions</emp>{S}
 Arl Eamon has been revived and plans to call a Landsmeet in Denerim.{S}
 In the meantime, you must gather your allies using the signed Grey Warden treaties.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain, you must have great stories about King Maric.{S}
 No, no! <desc>Sigh</desc> Does everything have to be about nationality with you?{S}
 Why must every moment of life have to be a matter of politics?{S}
 Do you think they do not admire Maric in Orlais?{S}
 Because they do.{S}
 It makes him roguish.{S}
 Have you never loved a tall tale, simply because it made your heart race?{S}
 I have never been, nor hope to be, a great general, then.{S}
 That, however, is not saying a great deal.{S}
 You have never held your tongue for politeness' sake before.{S}
 Why should that matter?{S}
 There have been plenty of occasions in the past when you have had nothing to say, and said it anyway.{S}
 Loghain, you are not making this any easier.{S}
 I should certainly not be complaining that you have no vitriol for me.{S}
 I... would rather have something scathing to say to you.{S}
 But I do not.{S}
 I feel I should admit that I have been mistaken about you.{S}
 What are you playing at?{S}
 I doubt he is forgotten what you have done.{S}
 Madam, I have no idea what you are trying to suggest.{S}
 If you wish to accuse me of something, do it.{S}
 Oh, I have so many things to accuse you of, Loghain Mac Tir, that I hardly know where to begin.{S}
 Do not think a few friendly words for the Warden will put everyone off their guard.{S}
 If watching me amuses you, madam, feel free.{S}
 Now, if you do not mind, I have things to attend to.{S}
 She hasn't forgotten what you have done.{S}
 Did I need your permission?{S}
 I had a dastardly scheme in which the utter destruction of Ferelden's best weapon would benefit me, personally.{S}
 Do you think your deal with Uldred was where you earned my contempt?{S}
 Did you try to save him, then?{S}
 So you <emp>did not</emp> rush to your king's rescue?{S}
 I could never have reached him!{S}
 And I had no magic that could break those darkspawn ranks.{S}
 But perhaps you think I ought to have tried, regardless.{S}
 You think so, do you?{S}
 I knew their names, mage, and where they came from.{S}
 I do not know how you mages determine the value of things, but they were my men.{S}
 Somehow, I have no desire ever to hear you sing, Dwarf.{S}
 Just do not start thinking that you belong here.{S}
 I did not think it was a human practice, making a comrade of a defeated foe.{S}
 You could do worse.{S}
 Do you mean to say that qunari <emp>do</emp> make comrades of their beaten opponents?{S}
 Qunari do not waste resources.{S}
 How exactly do you go about making your enemies work for you?{S}
 Drunks make poor allies.{S}
 But thanks for offering to take us there.{S}
 I hope your hound is doing well.{S}
 I can teach them to you, in exchange for some coin.{S}
 I would like to be alone, if you do not mind.{S}
 We have a king!{S}
 All is well if trade is open.{S}
 I will take business over a caste I have never known any day.{S}
 You do not hold a grudge for being locked out?{S}
 Did you go to her rescue?{S}
 I... all right... that does sound bad.{S}
 Did he get cold feet?{S}
 Did his parents disapprove of the match?{S}
 So much has happened...{S}
 The wedding never actually took place.{S}
 I did not know him very well.{S}
 I did not want to be married anyway.{S}
 It got interrupted.{S}
 My bride was carried off.{S}
 I did.{S}
 Then I got conscripted by the Wardens.{S}
 I have been studying Mother's grimoire.{S}
 Do you wish to hear what I have found?{S}
 I had hoped for a collection of her spells, a map of the power that she commands.{S}
 There is much of interest here in her writings, and one thing in particular I find fascinating.{S}
 Here, in great detail, Flemeth explains the means by which she has survived for centuries.{S}
 Flemeth has raised many daughters over her long lifetime.{S}
 There are stories of these many Witches of the Wilds throughout Chasind legend, yet I have never seen a one and always wondered why not.{S}
 When her body becomes old and wizened, she raises a daughter.{S}
 And when the time is right, she takes her daughter's body for her own.{S}
 The various daughters that Flemeth has... acquired.{S}
 At least, not unless you have an interest in retaining my aid against the darkspawn.{S}
 Whatever spark of the demon that made her what she is remains within her keeps her from dying of old age.{S}
 So she must seek a new body, a fresh body, and start the cycle anew.{S}
 The more a host is prepared, the quicker... the transition will be.{S}
 This simply takes me by surprise.{S}
 I would have thought I would have had some inkling, some notion...{S}
 I was a fool not to suspect her capable of using me for her own self-preservation.{S}
 I should have known better.{S}
 She is an abomination and a sorceress and I should have at least suspected <emp>something</emp>.{S}
 This was before the time of the Circle of Magi, but she wielded magical power of the same sort that all the ancient shamans did.{S}
 She summoned a demon and made it part of her, and became an abomination.{S}
 One that has thrived.{S}
 Whether Flemeth has always been the demon, or mastered it, or they are one...{S}
 I truly do not know.{S}
 No matter what she is, her body still ages and will not sustain her forever.{S}
 So she must find new bodies.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Or perhaps she believes that this journey will make me more powerful.{S}
 According to the tome, if the... host... is already powerful and trained in magic, it takes far less time for Flemeth to... settle in.{S}
 Perhaps I should take this as a vote of confidence from her on my capabilities?{S}
 Or perhaps she simply wished me gone from the Korcari Wilds so she could prepare her ritual in peace.{S}
 There is only one possible response to this: Flemeth needs to die.{S}
 Flemeth must be slain and I need your help to do it.{S}
 And what would that do?{S}
 At worst, Flemeth would imprison me once she became aware I know what I do.{S}
 I must do the same.{S}
 Think of her, instead, as an ancient abomination that intends to use her own flesh and blood to extend her life beyond all natural limits.{S}
 She did not wish anyone to get ahold of this information, least of all me.{S}
 Now I have.{S}
 If I do not act on what I know, then more the fool am I.{S}
 Because if she is slain while I am near, I am not certain that she will not simply be able to take possession of me right there.{S}
 So obviously I cannot be the one to do it.{S}
 Would you wait on such a matter?{S}
 How do I not know that Flemeth is not making preparations to steal my body even as we speak?{S}
 I will not wander the countryside waiting for Flemeth to act and do nothing about it.{S}
 If I must, I will find a way to deal with this on my own.{S}
 I do not wish to.{S}
 I find myself... enjoying the time I have spent with you... but if you force me to go, then I will.{S}
 If I must, I will find a way to deal with this on my own.{S}
 I do not wish to leave your company.{S}
 If I must, I will find a way to deal with this on my own.{S}
 If that means leaving your company, then I will do so.{S}
 Do not force me to do this alone, I implore you!{S}
 Even after the help I have given you.{S}
 Even knowing what you do regarding Flemeth's plans?{S}
 Then what needs to be done is for you to go back to Flemeth's hut in the Korcari Wilds... without me.{S}
 I doubt she will truly be dead even then, but it will take her years to find a new host and recover her power... if that is even possible.{S}
 The thing I must have is her true grimoire.{S}
 You think I take pleasure in this?{S}
 I do not.{S}
 The sooner this can be done, the sooner it will set my mind at ease.{S}
 Somehow I expected differently, though I do not know why.{S}
 Know that we are not done with each other, you and I.{S}
 Do not be sorry.{S}
 There is much of interest within her writings, things I did not know.{S}
 And one in particular I would never have suspected.{S}
 That should prove useful, no?{S}
 Let me guess.{S}
 Eats children?{S}
 What does this have to do with me?{S}
 You really had no idea?{S}
 So if you died she would have another daughter?{S}
 So what do you intend to do about it?{S}
 Why do you need my help?{S}
 Do I have a time limit on this?{S}
 It sounds like you just want someone to do your dirty work.{S}
 And you had no idea?{S}
 What did you find?{S}
 I think my use here is limited.{S}
 You have no regard for me and I even less for you.{S}
 I have no interest in being where I am not wanted.{S}
 I think the time has come to take my leave of you.{S}
 I have little hope for improvement, but we shall see.{S}
 You do not need me.{S}
 And I do not need this.{S}
 The two of us are not done with each other, but I shall not follow you about the countryside as you blunder about foolishly.{S}
 We shall meet again.{S}
 I was a fool to allow you to convince me to stay.{S}
 You excel at doing exactly the opposite.{S}
 No, I happen to find you quite useful.{S}
 I could not care less.{S}
 Please do not go.{S}
 I need you here.{S}
 What can I do to make you happy?{S}
 Who can blame him for seeking peace among the ancestors?{S}
 I do not know you... do I?{S}
 What are you doing in here? <desc><DogName/> runs up to you happily.{S}
 He appears to have found a friend.</desc>{S}
 Try not to scare too many people!{S}
 I suppose he is just going off to do some shopping.{S}
 If only we had one now.{S}
 Perhaps I do not want you to.{S}
 Many are trying, despite our stalemate.{S}
 But do not look to me.{S}
 So find one.{S}
 I failed, and there is no telling what he is done...{S}
 He had turned blood magic upon templars and Circle mages to escape from his tower.{S}
 I... do not know.{S}
 Have you seen her?{S}
 Alfstanna is... a far better bann than I would have been... but I... do not remember how I came to be here...{S}
 We have leadership again.{S}
 The Paragons of this hall should not have to look at you.{S}
 I hope you are not needed.{S}
 But the teyrn's men took him from me... and brought me here...{S}
 This maleficar, was his name Jowan?{S}
 He... destroyed his phylactery... we were spread out, trying to find him...{S}
 I should have been more careful...{S}
 Maker knows... what he is done to those poor fools.{S}
 Give this ring... to my sister, Alfstanna.{S}
 No one can free me from failure, save Blessed Andraste.{S}
 You realize the door is open, right?{S}
 You are free.{S}
 I was asked to give this to you. <act>Give her the ring.</act>{S}
 I would not gladly let you out of my sight, you know.{S}
 I happen to like you too much to let you wander off without me.{S}
 Let us teach this dragon a lesson.{S}
 We cannot have that!{S}
 I suppose I did not have anything <emp>better</emp> to do anyhow.{S}
 Let us go and teach this dragon a lesson, yes?{S}
 It should have stayed in whatever hole it crawled out of.{S}
 If you do not come back in one piece, however...{S}
 Let us not get ahead of ourselves, yes?{S}
 And... do watch your back.{S}
 No getting eaten.{S}
 Do enjoy the fight, yes?{S}
 Let us get this over with, then.{S}
 That will make it rather difficult for me to kill the Archdemon, no?{S}
 Then let me say that it is an honor to have fought at your side, however briefly.{S}
 You need to stay here.{S}
 Do not worry, boy.{S}
 He needs your help.{S}
 What does my brother have to do with <emp>him</emp>?{S}
 Please, if you have news of my brother, I would hear it.{S}
 Irminric gave you his signet ring.{S}
 He wants you to give it to his sister, Bann Alfstanna.{S}
 You gave Bann Alfstanna Irminric's signet ring and told her about his imprisonment.{S}
 You freed Oswyn, the son of Bann Sighard, from Arl Howe's torture room.{S}
 Sighard rewarded you for freeing his son with a substantial amount of coin and pledged to support you at the Landsmeet. <desc><DogName/> sniffs the air curiously.</desc>{S}
 Oh, do not give me that face.{S}
 I am betting you want the cheese in my pocket. <desc>He sits and waits patiently.</desc>{S}
 Do not eat it all at once.{S}
 Or... do, whichever you prefer.{S}
 I used to keep cheese in my pocket for Adalla too.{S}
 I mentioned she was taken from us, did I not?{S}
 This was when Orlais still ruled, and it was an Orlesian lordling who took her.{S}
 I tried to keep her, but there was little I could do to stop the Orlesian...{S}
 She was skin and bone, and still carried the scars from where their pronged collars bit into her neck.{S}
 It was as though she held on long enough to come home to us.{S}
 I held her head in my lap, and I believe she died happy. <desc>Sad whine</desc>{S}
 Huh, it will do you good. <desc>Excited huffing</desc>{S}
 I had a mabari once.{S}
 Adalla--that was her name.{S}
 We found her in the wood shed one night.{S}
 She was beautiful; she had a lovely chestnut brown coat, and the most intelligent, understanding eyes.{S}
 You would have liked her.{S}
 Ten years we had her, before she was taken away... <desc>He cocks head and looks curiously at Loghain.</desc>{S}
 Okay, I have got a better idea now.{S}
 I know you do not like me on your back, but how about... a chariot of some kind, huh?{S}
 You have no vision.{S}
 One day, you will see, I will have my team of grand mabari charioteers.{S}
 And you--sodding dog--you will be sorry you did not get in on the action when you could've!{S}
 You like Oghren, do not you?{S}
 I haven't even put the saddle on yet!{S}
 Well you better get moving, you great sodding pile of potential poo. <desc>Growls angrily</desc>{S}
 You give as good as you get, mutt.{S}
 Maybe there is something to this Ferelden notion of having dog companions.{S}
 No need for those big, clomping golems, is there?{S}
 Too bad so many had to suffer before they figured it out.{S}
 Tell me, my friend, does this saying apply to you?{S}
 Are you capable of speech, and simply choose not to speak?{S}
 I have been setting down, in ink, the tales of our exploits, and I have been thinking about ways to describe you.{S}
 You are unlike any animal I have ever met, almost human in your intelligence and understanding.{S}
 So, let me see... you are loyal, yes?{S}
 You are terrifying when you have to be, but gentle and sweet as a dove at other times.{S}
 I think I will have to get this story from my brother himself.{S}
 Take this: It has been in my family for generations.{S}
 Let it be a sign of the friendship between Highever and Waking Sea.{S}
 Let me know if you want some of my bowmen when you take back your teyrnir, as well.{S}
 Take this with my thanks: It has been in my family since the War of Crowns, crafted for us by the Circle of Magi.{S}
 I thank you for bringing me this news.{S}
 This necklace has been in my family since before the days of King Calenhad.{S}
 If I tell you this, I want your support in the Landsmeet.{S}
 Take this: Waking Sea will not forget your assistance.{S}
 No matter.{S}
 I will find my brother myself.{S}
 My voice will be yours, then, assuming I find Irminric alive.{S}
 No deal.{S}
 And tried to extort money from me, as well.{S}
 Do not think the Chantry will overlook this, Teyrn Loghain.{S}
 Whatever I have done, I will answer for later.{S}
 At the moment, however, I wish to know what this Warden has done with my daughter.{S}
 Fine, oh illustrious Grey Warden, what do you want?{S}
 The Grey Warden recruit?{S}
 I have enough crime to deal with, I should not have to dump you back in the Deep Roads.{S}
 That is right, you found pity topside.{S}
 The Wardens should have better sense when choosing allies.{S}
 I am bid to let you walk the commons, but keep your place.{S}
 Well, we have no king to hear you.{S}
 You can join the shouting at the Assembly in the Diamond Quarter, if you want.{S}
 They have caged themselves for fear of each other.{S}
 As you have seen, keeping order down among us working people is dodgy.{S}
 Take it to the Assembly in the Diamond Quarter.{S}
 I will wager you do, but with your history, you will not get near him.{S}
 Make your appeals to Vartag Gavorn, Bhelen's voice in the assembly.{S}
 I will not have fighting in the commons!{S}
 I find that sodding fool I will have him in the Legion.{S}
 I have a new house.{S}
 We have come on...{S}
 What does it look like?{S}
 Got a delivery here for you. <act>Have Wynne do the talking.</act> <act>Let Morrigan bluff.</act> <act>Let Sten bluff.</act> <act>Let Zevran bluff.</act> <act>Let Oghren bluff.</act> <act>Let Leliana bluff.</act> <act>Let Wynne bluff.</act>{S}
 Andraste's arse, you have.{S}
 You are no priest. <desc><DogName/> collapses.</desc> <act>Let <DogName/>... bluff?</act> <act>Let Alistair talk.</act> <act>Let Sten talk.</act> <act>Let Leliana talk.</act> <act>Let Zevran talk.</act> <act>Leave this to <DogName/>.</act> <desc><DogName/> pees on one of the guards.</desc>{S}
 What in Andraste's name?{S}
 I got to go change.{S}
 Wait over there, I will get the Captain to let you through.{S}
 You have little faith in your own city, brand.{S}
 The tavern is open and the market is busy.{S}
 Orzammar has suffered worse.{S}
 The deaths in your house brought us here.{S}
 And still the tavern is open and the market is busy.{S}
 See, that is why I do not want you surfacers seeing our worst.{S}
 Bad blood is usually kept to the Proving.{S}
 I do not expect a surfacer to understand.{S}
 Well enough, as I have said.{S}
 Spend your coin if you want friends.{S}
 Stand in the Proving if you have enemies.{S}
 Harrowmont and Bhelen are the ones I need.{S}
 Do I look as though I would know?{S}
 Get your hound master to see to him.{S}
 You are Fereldan, do not all you people keep dogs?{S}
 Oh, poor thing... he needs a healer!{S}
 This fort has a healer, does not it?{S}
 If he dies, I still expect to be paid for this delivery. <desc>He whimpers pitifully.</desc>{S}
 Take him into the side room there.{S}
 I will go get the Captain to let you through.{S}
 You have got to be joking.{S}
 We do not need any freaks around here.{S}
 Perhaps you could speak to your supervisor, then? <act>Let Oghren talk.</act> <act>Let Leliana talk</act> <act>Let Morrigan talk.</act>{S}
 Go get someone who would know, already.{S}
 They have been knitting for weeks. <emp>Weeks.</emp> Like old ladies possessed.{S}
 You do not want to disappoint them, do you?{S}
 We can hardly take this back.{S}
 Captain would've mentioned if we were getting anything from <emp>giants.</emp>{S}
 We have been sent by the Chantry. <emp>You are</emp> a priest?{S}
 I told you 'twas a foolish plan. <act>Let Leliana handle this.</act> <act>Let Zevran handle this.</act> <act>Let Morrigan handle this.</act> <act>Let Oghren handle this.</act> <act>Let Wynne handle this.</act> <act>Let Sten handle this.</act> <act>Leave this to <DogName/></act> <act>Let Wynne do the talking here.</act> <act>Let Morrigan do the talking here.</act>{S}
 We are here to perform. <act>Have Oghren Bluff him.</act> <act>Have Sten Bluff him.</act>{S}
 He-he does a traditional dwarven dance of death!{S}
 You can perform in the main hall <emp>on the condition</emp> that the dwarf keeps his pants on.{S}
 Perform what? <act>Have Leliana answer.</act> <act>Have Zevran answer.</act> <act>Have Wynne answer.</act> <act>Have Morrigan answer.</act> <act>Have Oghren answer.</act> <act>Have Sten answer.</act>{S}
 Got a delivery for you.{S}
 What in Andraste's name <emp>are</emp> you? <desc>Sigh</desc> I told you this would not work.{S}
 You do have a point there...{S}
 What do you think I am doing? <act>Let Leliana try to talk her into leaving.</act> <act>Let Zevran try to talk her into leaving.</act> <act>Let Sten try to talk her into leaving.</act> <act>Let Wynne try to talk her into leaving.</act> <act>Let Morrigan try to talk her into leaving.</act> <act>Let Oghren try to talk her into leaving.</act>{S}
 What do you want?{S}
 We might be needed at any time...{S}
 What do you want, elf?{S}
 We are just... sticking around in case we are needed.{S}
 You never know if we will be needed...{S}
 We are just... waiting to see if we are needed for... anything...{S}
 Make it quick, dwarf.{S}
 Making ourselves available in case of... emergency. <act>Let Leliana make conversation.</act> <act>Let Zevran talk to them.</act> <act>Let Morrigan talk to them.</act> <act>Let Wynne handle them.</act> <act>Let Sten handle them.</act> <act>Have Oghren do the talking.</act>{S}
 Do you not think you <emp>deserve</emp> time to yourself?{S}
 I will retire when I <emp>want</emp> to retire, and no uppity little tart is going to tell me otherwise! <act>Have Wynne calm her down.</act> <act>Have Morrigan calm her down.</act> <act>Have Leliana lie to her.</act> <act>Have Leliana bribe her.</act> <act>Have Alistair lie to her.</act> <act>Have Alistair bribe her.</act> <act>Have Wynne lie to her.</act> <act>Have Wynne bribe her.</act> <act>Have Morrigan lie to her.</act> <act>Have Morrigan bribe her.</act> <act>Have Oghren lie to her.</act> <act>Have Oghren bribe her.</act>{S}
 Let people see casteless have a purpose.{S}
 Get some outside gold in here, calm people down.{S}
 Make them think we should open the gates for good.{S}
 He is the traditional pick, yet he wants a new way, whether some like it or not.{S}
 He has the legitimate claim, thanks to your failed grab.{S}
 You abused the old ways, and now he has a chance to change them.{S}
 As though you or Harrowmont would have nothing to gain.{S}
 Can not find ore without splitting some stone.{S}
 The Assembly has done us a favor.{S}
 They have shown just how loose the sand is under our feet.{S}
 It opens people to change.{S}
 You are very eager to support my brother.{S}
 There is no end to them.{S}
 There is no end to you.{S}
 No... you do not have to say anything.{S}
 I do not know what exactly but I am going to--I have to--find out.{S}
 Please... we came here to get <emp>away</emp> from the fighting!{S}
 I hope they do not come back.{S}
 Why do not the templars kill them?{S}
 Word travels quickly of your deeds, and we are not in so remote a place that it did not reach us here.{S}
 Why do not the templars kill them?{S}
 The Blight has truly come, and the king is dead.{S}
 We had the coin to pay the "toll" to those bandits.{S}
 Many did not.{S}
 I brought my family to Lothering because I thought it would be safe.{S}
 Why did Teyrn Loghain take his army north?{S}
 We keep hearing they are just a day or two away...{S}
 Do not let the calm fool you.{S}
 The darkspawn have pulled back, but they are down there.{S}
 The Blight is foremost on all our minds. <desc>This elaborate artifact has a gem-like structure that contains what appears to be blood.{S}
 The blood is dark and still now, the gem cold to the touch.</desc> <desc>The Presence becomes desperate and begs for release anyhow.{S}
 Will you not take pity on its torment?</desc> <desc>The Presence wails in despair, but can do nothing.</desc>{S}
 Let us just say the emporium has improved substantially with our... partnership.{S}
 But I do miss the good old days.{S}
 I could really take my time to make quality.{S}
 And to the gruel you used to fancy.{S}
 If all were made tranquil, this would not have happened.{S}
 We will teach you fear!{S}
 I am getting tired!{S}
 I do not have the strength!{S}
 I need healing!{S}
 I do not feel too well.{S}
 I have been poisoned!{S}
 You will pay for that!{S}
 We have won!{S}
 This is not doing anything!{S}
 This is having no effect!{S}
 I need a better weapon!{S}
 I do not think I can do that.{S}
 Just tell me what to do!{S}
 I live to serve.{S}
 What would you have me do?{S}
 I need a proper weapon!{S}
 Tell Kylon I owe him one.{S}
 They are sinners, who have given their love to false gods."{S}
 "Magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him.{S}
 Foul and corrupt are they who have taken His gift and turned it against His children."{S}
 "They shall be named Maleficar, accursed ones, they shall find no rest in this world or beyond."{S}
 I was getting to that part!{S}
 "All men are the work of our Makers hands, from the lowest slaves to the highest kings.{S}
 Those who bring ham without provocation to the least of His children are breaded and accursed by the Maker."{S}
 "Those who bring <emp>ham</emp>"?{S}
 And the Maker does not bread sinners!{S}
 Get them all!{S}
 We can not let this stop us!{S}
 I will follow your lead!{S}
 We have to get past these things!{S}
 I need your help!{S}
 We did well!{S}
 I need a weapon!{S}
 Yes, I made a promise and I intend to keep it.{S}
 The tombstone of a Tevinter general. <emp>Find the mage's treasure</emp>{S}
 You came across a tombstone in the forest and its inscription seemed to indicate that there are three Tevinter generals buried in the forest who have been set to guard some powerful items.{S}
 You have recovered all of the items hidden by the Tevinter mage.{S}
 Sick Elf <emp>Find the mage's treasure</emp>{S}
 You have recovered one of the items hidden in the forest by the Tevinter mage.{S}
 You know, something about being inside a fortress full of people who want to kill me makes me very nervous.{S}
 Must you keep poking me?{S}
 I am having fun already! <desc>Happy bark!</desc>{S}
 I do not like this one bit.{S}
 I understand you have acquired all the allies you could?{S}
 It will take some time to recall my forces and organize our allies.{S}
 I would prefer to wait until that is done before calling the Landsmeet.{S}
 We will need all the allies we can get if we are to defeat the darkspawn horde.{S}
 We get paid, either way.{S}
 Get back to your position.{S}
 The street toughs will not do anything with us here.{S}
 No, no I do not.{S}
 Let her in!{S}
 Let him in!{S}
 Give us some space.{S}
 Give us--{S}
 I have <emp>never</emp> seen her at the Pearl.{S}
 I have <emp>never</emp> seen him at the Pearl. <desc>You grab the key</desc> Yes, yes--{S}
 I do not recognize you.{S}
 I have never seen you at the Pearl.{S}
 Give us some space!{S}
 Master, I do not trust this. <desc>Grumbles</desc> I will rely on your judgment, then.{S}
 Give us some space.{S}
 I must know, what is keeping Eloise?{S}
 You better have a good reason for it.{S}
 Oh, we had a grand time. <act>Lie</act> I am here about a "lady."{S}
 This is private. <act>Shake Tilver's hand</act> Good to meet you.{S}
 I got what I needed.{S}
 Do you mind?{S}
 Are you the boss, or is he? <act>Start leaving</act> I have better things to do.{S}
 Making herself pretty for you.{S}
 Did not mean to intrude.{S}
 I have had my fill of fickle women.{S}
 What is keeping her?{S}
 I must know, what is keeping her? <desc>You steal the key</desc> Oh, this is intolerable.{S}
 I will tell Sanga about your service here. <act>Lean close</act> She can not make it. <act>Lean close</act> She will be here any moment.{S}
 Just stay put.{S}
 I had to defend myself.{S}
 Thank you, I will let Sanga know how helpful you have been. <desc>You steal the key</desc> The anticipation is killing me.{S}
 Trust me. <act>Stroke his arm</act> A man like yourself deserves the best. <act>Grab his shoulder</act> She will make your world spin. <act>Lean close and whisper</act> Untouched by any man.{S}
 Come to offer congratulations, I suppose?{S}
 I get that you think so.{S}
 Loghain let all the Grey Wardens <emp>die</emp>, let his king <emp>die</emp>, all because he thought he alone could defend Ferelden against the dreaded Orlesians!{S}
 No matter what your plans are, he deserved to die.{S}
 And you made him !{S}
 Do not be such a child.{S}
 I do not want this to ruin our friendship.{S}
 I almost did not make it out of the mess today.{S}
 That is why I write it down every day and keep it in my pocket.{S}
 I got stuck in the second floor hallway for three hours last week.{S}
 Get to it!{S}
 So, you think you are ready to go on your first patrol mission, do you?{S}
 Do you want a repeat of Ostagar?{S}
 I thought I told you to get ready for inspection.{S}
 Do not dawdle.{S}
 We are going to make him mad!{S}
 You must be the new recruits we were expecting.{S}
 You must be the new recruit we were getting.{S}
 Find them, and get yourselves ready for inspection.{S}
 What did I tell you, soldier? <emp>The only right answer is, "Yes, ser!"</emp>{S}
 Could we try <emp>not</emp> to make him mad?{S}
 Good work, soldier!{S}
 Do you think you are being clever, soldier?{S}
 Do not make me laugh!{S}
 You come back here and you get the cavalry!{S}
 You do not want us to fight them?{S}
 These army types make no sense.{S}
 You are a soldier in the King's Army, and the King's own men do not slouch!{S}
 What is the one thing a soldier can not do without?{S}
 What do I tell him?{S}
 Honor is the <emp>best</emp> thing a man can have.{S}
 See to it that you keep yours at all times.{S}
 Now get out of here.{S}
 Here stands Paragon Garal, who made peace with the Tevinter Imperium.{S}
 Here stands Paragon Lantena, who brought fruit and seed to Orzammar.{S}
 Did you need something?{S}
 Then sadly, it is clear what we must do.{S}
 I understand you must appear to act, but I can not pay.{S}
 I know a fellow who met one.{S}
 Said she was so deadly, she could take out a score of men in the blink of an eye.{S}
 Bann Darby does throw the best parties.{S}
 We will meet up later, just not now! <desc>You grab the key</desc> You mean-- you, me? <desc>Busts out laughing</desc>{S}
 I would ask that you never speak of this again. <desc>You grab the key</desc> That makes two of us.{S}
 You have?{S}
 I have been working on a commission for Bann Franderel. <desc>You grab the key</desc> It is so rare that people take time to really admire my handiworks.{S}
 Most give them barely give them a passing glance.{S}
 But I have... an appointment.{S}
 Later, perhaps? <desc>You grab the key</desc> Oh, he does.{S}
 Oh, he does.{S}
 Perhaps we can meet up later?{S}
 The passion. <act>Put arm around him</act> And did we drink!{S}
 I will not keep you, then. <act>Shake his hand</act> So very good to see you again, Tilver.{S}
 Oh, do not let me keep you.{S}
 I have seen some of your work, divine! <act>Put arm around Tilver</act> You are a true artist.{S}
 The craftsmanship! <act>Get close to Tilver</act> Bann Franderel knows talent.{S}
 I have to go.{S}
 We have been ordered to get this room cleaned up.{S}
 I was told we should get ready for inspection.{S}
 Let us just move on.{S}
 I did not mean for it to come out like that.{S}
 Neither do I, really.{S}
 I do not know why you made Loghain a Grey Warden, but he is tainted it for me.{S}
 The man is a traitor and you gave him the greatest honor I can think of.{S}
 Frankly, It did not seem like our friendship was all that important.{S}
 There is no way to make that right.{S}
 It would have meant Duncan could rest easier.{S}
 You should have thought about that earlier.{S}
 I will make the best of it, I guess.{S}
 I am not going to roll over and let Anora rule, that is for sure.{S}
 You have a lot to do, now... and so do I.{S}
 But now I have no choice, really.{S}
 There is a thousand people I am supposed to meet.{S}
 This is his chance to make things right.{S}
 Killing him will not bring Duncan back.{S}
 I still need your help, Alistair.{S}
 I do not want to talk about Loghain.{S}
 What're we going to do about... <emp>him</emp>, though?{S}
 Back to work.{S}
 I told you we should've put those potatoes in the cellar straight away.{S}
 Mistakes were made.{S}
 The quartermaster got chewed out by Teyrn Loghain, and then <emp>he</emp> chewed out the assistant...{S}
 And now, to get back at us for landing him in trouble, the assistant quartermaster will not give us our blades.{S}
 Let me handle him.{S}
 Can not you get the officers to sort this out?{S}
 What do we do?{S}
 We need to talk.{S}
 Before I forget, I need to say something.{S}
 Your worst fears have finally been realized!"{S}
 But you did not make me king... and Loghain still got what he deserved.{S}
 Everything worked out, thanks to you.{S}
 Easiest oath I ever made, let me tell you.{S}
 That is what I kept saying, and here I thought nobody was listening.{S}
 I do.{S}
 Put a moron like you on the throne?{S}
 You owe me.{S}
 No need to thank me.{S}
 But he does not have any beef with you.{S}
 Oh Maker, they are going to give us latrine duty for this, are not they?{S}
 He is got no beef with you.{S}
 We have only been here two weeks, ourselves.{S}
 You are that prisoner they brought in earlier!{S}
 I will handle him.{S}
 I hope this works...{S}
 He is got to give in eventually.{S}
 No, he does not.{S}
 "So the colonel can eat off the floor if he wants to." <desc>Sigh</desc> Cursed potatoes...{S}
 We got a prison break!{S}
 You can not just prance in here and give us orders.{S}
 Who died and made you sergeant?{S}
 You are that prisoner they brought in earlier!{S}
 Are you going to get ready for inspection or not?{S}
 You two blighted fools make a new friend?{S}
 Well, do not just stand there!{S}
 Get your blade and let us report to the colonel before he gets back!{S}
 What, you mean you did not join the army to mind the store room?{S}
 Keep moving.{S}
 If I have to hear my mother one more time...{S}
 "You should not have gone into trade like your brother!" <desc>Sigh</desc>{S}
 I have got orders to get them ready for inspection.{S}
 They did not mean to get you in trouble. <act>Bribe him</act> Would 15 sovereigns make you forgiving?{S}
 Gold will not buy me my missed promotion, now will it?{S}
 You think I want to spend the rest of my life oiling chain mail and patching worn leather?{S}
 What good's gold doing me in here?{S}
 So... strange story, tell me if you have heard this one: this fellow gets made king and then gets engaged all on the same night...{S}
 I have had some time to come to terms with that.{S}
 I suppose there is some good I could even do.{S}
 Not much to be done, now.{S}
 I guess that saves me having to ask, then.{S}
 With the taint in our blood, it is hard enough for a Grey Warden to have a child on their own.{S}
 Every Grey Warden I knew who had children had them before they took the Joining.{S}
 Having an heir... might not be possible.{S}
 I just... have this need to shove my foot in my mouth, sometimes.{S}
 Good thing we got started when we did, hm?{S}
 I suppose this is something we will just have to deal with later.{S}
 My coronation is not going to happen for some time yet... and we have still the darkspawn to fight.{S}
 Arl Eamon has left for Redcliffe, and he says the armies have almost finished gathering there.{S}
 If we do not deal with the Archdemon soon, it will get cranky.{S}
 I just did not think you even <emp>liked</emp> me.{S}
 I just... had no idea you were even...{S}
 I mean, married?{S}
 I guess that makes sense.{S}
 On that we are in agreement. <desc>chuckle</desc> I guess we will make quite the pair then, will not we?{S}
 Arl Eamon has left for Redcliffe.{S}
 He says the army has gathered there and is almost ready to march.{S}
 Am I sure I want to marry you?{S}
 You do not think I should be?{S}
 Having <emp>your</emp> heir, maybe.{S}
 Let us not get ahead of ourselves.{S}
 Well, it will not be for lack of trying!{S}
 Do you object to the idea?{S}
 Do not get any ideas.{S}
 I would make an excellent queen.{S}
 No more than you, but I will deal with it.{S}
 What, so that makes it better?{S}
 I should just forget they cost me a promotion because they did not mean it?{S}
 While we are at it, why do not we just forgive the darkspawn for killing the king.{S}
 I am sure they did not know it would upset us.{S}
 Take these.{S}
 Just mind you take care of them.{S}
 I have got orders from the colonel.{S}
 But if they go on patrol, they may get hurt.{S}
 The colonel will not care about me.{S}
 There is a few things I would like to do myself in Denerim.{S}
 I did not realize the back alleys had so much traffic.{S}
 Need a message delivered, ser?{S}
 He gave me a fright then laughed at me.{S}
 Do not really see many fine gents in the back alleys here.{S}
 Messages, distractions, you pay for it, I am in!{S}
 Have you no worry, I will distract them good.{S}
 Need a message delivered?{S}
 Would you be willing to make a distraction for me? <act>Pay 10 silvers</act> Run past those guards over there.{S}
 It was taken from Ser Nancine.{S}
 I am an herbalist of some skill. <act>Lie</act> You have got a cold?{S}
 I have some tonic that helped me.{S}
 You have kept me waiting long enough.{S}
 Perchance have you worked as a lady's maid before?{S}
 I find your manner most becoming.{S}
 You have deceptively good taste.{S}
 Your services here are no longer required.{S}
 You, work here?{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 Even Wonders has some standards.{S}
 A matching gown, too? <act>Leave</act> Let me fetch something, just a moment. <act>Leave</act> Have fun. <act>Leave</act> Thanks ever so much, you condescending... <act>Bump into her.</act> Let me get over... oh, pardon. <act>Lie</act> Ten sovereigns, m'lady.{S}
 I have had enough of you.{S}
 Get away from me.{S}
 I did not see that.{S}
 Fine, I am willing to try on one of these dresses of yours.{S}
 This dress may do.{S}
 Do you have it in purple?{S}
 I have never heard of that.{S}
 You should know better than to try and fool your betters.{S}
 Does it work?{S}
 I have been stuffed up for days.{S}
 The dress. <act>Grab sword while fitting her.</act> Let us remove that, and slip you in...{S}
 It starts with a cough.{S}
 Do you feel short of breath?{S}
 You have any itches?{S}
 You will get nothing from me.{S}
 We could be eaten by darkspawn.{S}
 You have got a point there...{S}
 You give me something that will get rust off chain, and I will give you the swords.{S}
 This might actually work.{S}
 Are you trying to kill me?{S}
 I can not use this on armor!{S}
 I can give you something to make cleaning that rust easier. <act>Give him an acidic coating.</act> <act>Give him an acid flask.</act>{S}
 Actually, I do not think I have anything that will work.{S}
 I-I do feel a little faint.{S}
 Wh-what should I do? <desc>You steal her sword.</desc> Yes, I need air...{S}
 But I need your help!{S}
 Do not leave! <desc>You steal her sword.</desc> Y-yes, I will breathe. <desc>Breathes deeply</desc>{S}
 Y-yes, I will breathe. <desc>Breathes deeply</desc> <act>Grab sword while removing her armor.</act> Out of your armor, right now! <act>Leave</act> Stay here, I am going to get help! <act>Leave</act> I can not believe you fell for that. <act>Leave</act> I have to go now. <act>Set her down.</act> Sit down, right now.{S}
 Keep breathing!{S}
 Well, do not keep the colonel waiting.{S}
 Do not bother me.{S}
 I got work to do. <desc>You steal her sword.</desc> Get away, you filthy commoner.{S}
 Y-you do not see anything, do you? <act>Get close to inspect her.</act> Let me look you over.{S}
 I-I will not! <desc>She keeps breathing heavily.</desc>{S}
 Keep breathing, harder!{S}
 Do not stop!{S}
 That is kind of fruity for a password, do not you think?{S}
 Did you forget, or are you just daft? <desc>Sigh</desc> Blighted green recruits.{S}
 Nobody gets through without it.{S}
 Open sesame.{S}
 It is always a proud day when a soldier takes up real duties.{S}
 Hey, hold up just a minute... did not I see you brought in earlier?{S}
 I have been meaning to stop by the apothecary.{S}
 I have this tickle in the back of my throat.{S}
 I thought you were some sort of common thug, but you have surprised me.{S}
 Breathe deeply for me, then breathe out. <act>Lie</act> Oh dear, you have the Midnight Pox.{S}
 I need to listen to your lungs.{S}
 You have to remove your armor, though. <act>Feel her throat</act> Let me see there.{S}
 For a modest fee, I can sell you some medicine.{S}
 I have got what I came for.{S}
 Keep your nose clean.{S}
 And where do you think you are going?{S}
 Get to the barracks and stay out of trouble.{S}
 You are the Warden they brought in!{S}
 You have got duties, get to work!{S}
 I have had enough of your advice.{S}
 This may take a moment...{S}
 I just a have a little cough. <desc>She breathes in and out.</desc> I feel fine.{S}
 I just have a slight cough.{S}
 Many deadly ailments start off as a simple cough. <act>Help take off her armor.</act> I would be happy to.{S}
 Perhaps this is not the best of ideas. <act>Take off her sword.</act> At least let me examine what I can, then. <act>Take off her sword.</act> Let me just set that down.{S}
 If you have extra, I will take it, though. <desc>You steal her sword.</desc> And you are just going to give it to me for free?{S}
 And you are just going to give it to me for free?{S}
 But I think herbalists are just swindlers. <act>Give her a sleeping draught.</act> Here you go. <act>Give her a deadly poison.</act> Soon you will not be coughing at all.{S}
 I still have one draught left. <act>Approach her.</act> Worked for me.{S}
 It was your offer, not mine.{S}
 And you are just going to give that to me for free?{S}
 You have a point.{S}
 Very well, give me this remedy of yours.{S}
 Well, then, I will pay you five.{S}
 Give it to me.{S}
 I did not say free.{S}
 Are you ready to get back to me yet?{S}
 Hmph! <act>Leave</act> I have to leave.{S}
 I do not deserve this!{S}
 You do not look like much of an herbalist. <desc>Sniffs</desc>{S}
 So it is done.{S}
 I never thought it would end like it did.{S}
 I was trying to keep my father from making an even greater mistake.{S}
 I failed, and I apologize... but I had to try.{S}
 It could have been.{S}
 But what is done is done.{S}
 My father had no illusions about the consequences of his actions, and neither do I.{S}
 He accepted his fate, and so do I.{S}
 So it is done.{S}
 Thank you for... giving him the opportunity to undergo the ritual.{S}
 It could not have been easy.{S}
 As he always has.{S}
 I am simply glad that it did not result in a sad end for a great man.{S}
 He does indeed.{S}
 I do not, to tell the truth.{S}
 I am simply glad that he did not end there, in disgrace.{S}
 I was trying to protect my father.{S}
 I wanted a solution that worked for you as well as I, and I think we have it.{S}
 You kept your end of the deal.{S}
 I will keep mine.{S}
 The engagement will be announced at my coronation... provided you are still interested.{S}
 It gets you near the throne.{S}
 I am the queen, and you are my consort... remember that and we will have no issue.{S}
 Your doing, I imagine.{S}
 We are all about to have a very "bad day".{S}
 And neither do I.{S}
 We have more important matters to consider.{S}
 Arl Eamon has left for Redcliffe, and tells me that our armies have almost fully gathered there.{S}
 Bring your companions and join us at Redcliffe Castle as soon as you are able.{S}
 You have united Ferelden, Warden... now we face the Blight.{S}
 I wish it could have been otherwise.{S}
 There is a lot to be done, still.{S}
 He did what he thought was right.{S}
 He has a lot to redeem himself for.{S}
 Do not expect him to live much longer.{S}
 Your betrayal made it far less easy, by the way.{S}
 Let us just get on with it.{S}
 If it gets me on the throne, I am interested.{S}
 Trying to get out of it already?{S}
 Could I get out of it if I wasn't?{S}
 I think he will make a good king.{S}
 Do not be so hard on him.{S}
 He is had a bad day.{S}
 I do not really care how upset he is.{S}
 You should not have stuck your nose in here, shem!{S}
 Did not... you...{S}
 Well, I do not see the harm in letting you... grab one of the back tables.{S}
 If you want the table, it is still free.{S}
 Kill the Warden, now! <act>Lie</act> I have an urgent message for the seneschal. <act>Follow the guard</act> Take me to the seneschal.{S}
 I will take none... of...{S}
 What are you doing skulking about?{S}
 Get out!{S}
 Leave now, or I will kill you where you stand. <act>Attack</act> Did not I say stand aside?{S}
 Let me through.{S}
 Hand over the crown, and I will let you live. <act>Attack the seneschal</act> You will pay for your master's sins. <act>Attack</act> Now that we are alone...{S}
 Quickly! <act>Attack</act> Loghain does not frighten me.{S}
 There is a key with this note: "Bring eight males and six females for the next shipment."{S}
 Loghain's men need to be pampered! <act>Lie</act> The guards want a round of drinks.{S}
 Let us get you out of here, first.{S}
 Then you can talk my ear off, for all I care.{S}
 Talk after we get out of here.{S}
 We must find a way out of this place.{S}
 When will the war end?{S}
 So are you going to join me in a drink or not?{S}
 I have a message for the seneschal.{S}
 We tried out best.{S}
 Those guards may as well be made of stone.{S}
 I am too busy to deal with you right now.{S}
 We will keep them happy, do not you worry.{S}
 And why should I do that?{S}
 I will do what I can.{S}
 Ladies, we have a job to do.{S}
 We are here to make sure your needs--{S}
 We are here to make sure your needs are being met.{S}
 We have brought drinks.{S}
 I do not know what you are up to, but I will have no part of it.{S}
 Got it.{S}
 They just came in, did not they.{S}
 Go over there and keep them "happy." <act>Pay 3 gold</act> Does it matter?{S}
 Just keep them occupied.{S}
 We need keep them mollified. <act>Pour sleeping poison in some cups</act> These drinks will do. <act>Pay 5 sovereigns</act> The most potent liquor you have got.{S}
 What do you know of the men in back?{S}
 I do not need anything.{S}
 Maybe we should speak after we get out of here?{S}
 If they want the strong stuff the barkeep keeps some dwarven spirits down below.{S}
 Let me know if you need anything else.{S}
 Whatever you have on tap.{S}
 I will get it to them straight away.{S}
 Will someone make the room stop spinning?{S}
 The crown that belonged to Teyrn Loghain. <act>Give her back the disguise.</act> I am through sneaking.{S}
 There are other things I would like to try.{S}
 Do not take too long. <emp>Escape from Fort Drakon</emp>{S}
 It seems the colonel has decided that you are one of the guards assigned to patrol detail.{S}
 You rounded up the other guards and obtained the equipment you needed.{S}
 It seems the colonel has decided that you are one of the guards assigned to patrol detail.{S}
 Maybe if you play along you can get out of here. <emp>Pass the inspection</emp>{S}
 It seems the colonel has decided that you are one of the guards assigned to patrol detail.{S}
 You rounded up the other guards, now you just need to prepare for inspection.{S}
 I thought we were done for, for certain.{S}
 We have them!{S}
 You will get no mercy from me! <emp>Escape from Fort Drakon</emp>{S}
 You obtained a list of the passwords used in the fort.{S}
 The only words that are legible read, "Why, oh why, did not we just take the flying eagles?"{S}
 These jars of colored inks are used as part of the Dalish ritual known as "vallaslin" or "blood writing."{S}
 These were made by the Smith Crafthall of Denerim for the Fereldan Army.{S}
 Steel gauntlets made for the soldiers of the Fereldan Army. <desc>There are some guard uniforms here.</desc> <act>Put on the uniforms.</act> <act>Put the uniforms back..</act> <emp>Escape from Fort Drakon</emp>{S}
 You will need to find another way out of Fort Drakon.{S}
 It seems today's password is Rabbit. <desc>There is a guard uniform here.</desc> <act>Put on the uniform.</act> <act>Put the uniform back.</act> <act>Leave.</act>{S}
 Ballista <emp>Find the key to Bownammar</emp>{S}
 Hespith told you about a door in the old fortress of Bownammar that leads down into the darkspawn lairs.{S}
 The door is locked but you can find the key in the Legion of the Dead's shrine. <emp>Head to Bownammar with the key</emp>{S}
 You found the key Hespith spoke about in the Legion of the Dead's shrine.{S}
 This key will open the door in Bownammar that leads to the darkspawn tunnels.{S}
 Get him!{S}
 Those guards better get back soon! <emp>Attend the feast</emp>{S}
 You have honored the Proving fighters with your presence.{S}
 Now it is time to attend the feast your father has planned for you.{S}
 The feast is going be held in the great hall of the royal estate.{S}
 I do not know, Mistress Jarvia did not say anything about you talking to her.{S}
 I will go get her.{S}
 Do not try and escape while I am gone!{S}
 Jarvia said not to let you out of my sight!{S}
 I need to speak with Jarvia.{S}
 Will you get her for me?{S}
 I have important information for her.{S}
 You found ironbark for Varathorn, but demanded too much of him in return.{S}
 I serve the regent.{S}
 No, it did not.{S}
 We could've tried harder to save them.{S}
 You picked up two more assassination contracts from Master Ignacio.{S}
 But as it is, I do not think we can deprive all the armies you have gathered of a commander.{S}
 The werewolves have blocked it off, somehow!{S}
 We will need to find a way around!{S}
 It looks like they have blocked off their exit.{S}
 We will need to find another way to follow them.{S}
 We shall need to find another way to follow.{S}
 Blasted dog-men have blocked the door!{S}
 It seems the creatures have shut us out.{S}
 We will need to find another way.{S}
 They have... closed the door off from the other side.{S}
 Do I know you?{S}
 I did not know the Gnawed Noble was <emp>that</emp> kind of bar. <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 I have been hit in the head.{S}
 Diamond Quarter right, Proving Grounds straight ahead. <emp>Make sure the girl you rescued is safe</emp>{S}
 You found a girl hiding in Castle Redcliffe.{S}
 She said her name was Valena and then ran back to the village.{S}
 Perhaps you should go look for her and make sure that she made it back safely. <emp>Tell Owen of Valena's fate</emp>{S}
 She probably perished in the castle, along with other servants, while the demon still had control.{S}
 You were unable to find Valena in the castle, and she is most likely dead.{S}
 You told Owen that you were unable to find her and as expected, he did not take it well.{S}
 We will help as many as we can today, so long as we can do this in an orderly fashion.{S}
 The best thing you can do for your children is not trust these charlatans! <emp>Bring Witherfang's heart to Zathrian</emp>{S}
 You need to give the heart to Zathrian so he can perform the ritual that will save the Dalish elves.{S}
 Like Valendrian and my uncle Cyrion, you helped them, did not you?{S}
 Helped them never to be seen again! <desc>Sigh</desc> We have explained this to you before, girl.{S}
 More whining will not persuade us to let you into the quarantine to carry plague back out to the Alienage.{S}
 Quit trying to get us all killed, Shianni!{S}
 Some of us have still got things to live for.{S}
 If this spell of theirs works, why are half the people they quarantine perfectly healthy?{S}
 You are the one who freed him from the dungeons. <desc>Sigh</desc> I am so glad those liars are gone.{S}
 The healers have left, what is happened?{S}
 Did you find Valendrian or your father?{S}
 That means a great deal to us.{S}
 Did you find Valendrian? <desc>Sigh</desc> I guess we may never know, then.{S}
 Maybe that does not mean anything to you, but it is important to us.{S}
 I have no idea if they are telling the truth, or if anyone cares!{S}
 People started getting it after the refugees showed up from Ostagar, so I guess that makes sense.{S}
 I got rid of the Tevinters for good.{S}
 There is magic being used?{S}
 Does the Chantry know?{S}
 I will weasel a bottle of wine from Alarith and we can catch up. <desc>Laughs</desc> Who needs an excuse?{S}
 You still have work to do.{S}
 Blight to end and all that.{S}
 But when this is all over, we <emp>are</emp> going to get <emp>very</emp> drunk to celebrate.{S}
 I am taking that as a yes.{S}
 Take care of yourself, Cousin.{S}
 I will hold you to that, Cousin.{S}
 After I take care of the Blight.{S}
 How did I know you would make this an excuse to get drunk?{S}
 I can not make any promises.{S}
 Get two bottles.{S}
 We have a lot of catching up to do. <emp>Speak with Riordan</emp>{S}
 You have secured the city gates by killing the darkspawn that had amassed there.{S}
 Do continue.{S}
 Indeed, do we not owe it to Maric to see his son on the throne?{S}
 I can vouch for the reality of the threat, if anyone cares to doubt it.{S}
 Do tell, dwarf.{S}
 The whole Landsmeet has been quite frantic to hear a tactical analysis of Ostagar delivered by a clown.{S}
 Please continue.{S}
 Do we truly have to listen to these childish accusations?{S}
 Sold elves?{S}
 Some of us would like to discuss the matters at hand.{S}
 There are enough refugees in my bannorn now to make that abundantly clear.{S}
 We have been treated to many stories of darkspawn in the past few weeks, but we still have no evidence this is a true Blight.{S}
 If you want justice, then put Maric's son on the throne.{S}
 Did you let Howe torture citizens for the good of Ferelden?{S}
 Do you regret having a blood mage poison Arl Eamon?{S}
 As much as you regret selling elves to Tevinter?{S}
 Letting Howe torture innocents is an odd way to show grief.{S}
 Selling elves?{S}
 South Reach stands with the Grey Wardens.{S}
 We have no hope of victory otherwise.{S}
 Howe took my only son!{S}
 The things done to him... some are beyond any healer's skill.{S}
 Why did you try to steal the throne from your own daughter?{S}
 I did not think I would see you again.{S}
 We would better get ready for trouble.{S}
 Best prepare for battle.{S}
 I do not think we will be able to talk our way past anyone back here.{S}
 These guards will know we have no business here.{S}
 We had better be ready to fight.{S}
 They took him to the ships a couple days ago.{S}
 You did so much good, we can not dwell on the ones you could not save.{S}
 Who do you think will come?{S}
 I will just hold my breath, shall I?{S}
 The Dread Wolf is a trickster and traitor and has been set away from the camp deliberately.{S}
 All the ancient skills of the Dalish are said to have originated from him long ago.{S}
 He is given out his last assassination contract.{S}
 Death is just another beginning.{S}
 One day we must all shed our earthly bodies to allow our spirits to fly free.{S}
 I, for one, am in no hurry to let my spirit fly free.{S}
 It is a beautiful sentiment, I think--one that brings peace and hope to the grieving.{S}
 And that is something to take joy in, no?{S}
 Hahren Paivel used to say much the same thing.{S}
 A map, given to you by Lady Dace, depicting the route Lord Dace was taking in his exploration toward the Aeducan Thaig.{S}
 For all our sakes, I hope you know what you are doing.{S}
 I would not be much use to you in my current condition.{S}
 And, if you will pardon me, I have a sudden desire to breathe some free air.{S}
 I wondered what Howe did with them.{S}
 Names of the dead I recognized at Ostagar.{S}
 Some encrypted copies of the Joining ritual that I retrieved from our Denerim vault.{S}
 Those, at least, ought to have stayed private.{S}
 Then you know how to perform the Joining?{S}
 For we would need not only fresh darkspawn blood, but a single drop of the blood preserved from an archdemon.{S}
 Ferelden's supply should have been in the vault.{S}
 I imagine Duncan had it with him at Ostagar, and Maker knows where it is now.{S}
 Probably looking for coin or men to take your teyrnir back, then.{S}
 They hold West Hills now.{S}
 Poor Oswyn obviously did not recognize you.{S}
 I owe you his life.{S}
 I keep telling them, no one can resist the dwarf.{S}
 Abandoned Orphanage{S}
 I am proud to serve the Aeducans.{S}
 I have had...so many doubts of late.{S}
 Bring the Wardens.{S}
 Loghain does not care about the rest.{S}
 Bring the Warden.{S}
 Loghain does not care about the rest.{S}
 This is a nice change from having to sleep in the woods, is not it?{S}
 You know, I could get to like this.{S}
 The last time I came to Denerim, I stayed at an inn so filthy the bedbugs had fleas.{S}
 This is not as defensible as I would like, but it will do.{S}
 If one more servant asks if I would like a change of clothes, I will set the house on fire.{S}
 Let us not spend more time here than we must.{S}
 They have changed the dining room.{S}
 Maker's breath, you did not magic them, did you?{S}
 If you had come in here and told me they would both sprouted wings and flown to Tevinter, I would be less stunned.{S}
 Well done, my friend.{S}
 Perhaps it is better if I do not know the details.{S}
 I could swear you just said that Alistair and Anora agreed to marry.{S}
 I think I have persuaded Alistair and Anora to marry.{S}
 You do not sound pleased.{S}
 You did want me to get Anora on our side, did not you?{S}
 Threats may have been involved.{S}
 Anything else you need?{S}
 What is taking her so long?{S}
 There is nobody to play with me. <desc>Coughs.</desc>{S}
 Mamma said she would bring me a present from Highever.{S}
 I do not like this place.{S}
 Why did we come here?{S}
 Mother says we have to run before the bad men get here.{S}
 I would tell you to get lost, but you are the one person who might be able to defend us!{S}
 You did it!{S}
 Hold steady!{S}
 We need to keep them out of the city!{S}
 So you decided not to abandon us this time. <desc>Sighs</desc> Thank you, Cousin.{S}
 You have come through for me again.{S}
 I will make sure we never forget this.{S}
 A dreamer here is stopping this from working.{S}
 Nessa's family has departed the alienage for good.{S}
 Did you find anything else?{S}
 Have you found anything else?{S}
 I do not know what is happening there, but I am certain my father has his hands in it.{S}
 With Anora's knowledge, we have a far better chance against Loghain.{S}
 Why chase the impossible when your people need you now.{S}
 Do not hurt me!{S}
 So much for our plan to rule together.{S}
 If Alistair would rather not have the throne, I am more than willing to take it.{S}
 Start in the King's camp.{S}
 (Includes opening cutscene){S}
 If Riordan fails, do you think Alistair will hesitate? <emp>He</emp> will die the hero of Ferelden, Maric's son, and you will be forgotten.{S}
 I do not want to see your face here again!{S}
 Spare me, I need the Anvil to bargain with Branka.{S}
 Everyone does.{S}
 Do you want revenge?{S}
 I need it to bargain with Branka.{S}
 I will not make golems.{S}
 Get away from me, you crazy knife-ear!{S}
 When did you last see her?{S}
 What did she do?{S}
 But the true abomination... is not that it occurred, but that it was allowed.{S}
 Feeding time brings only kin and clan.{S}
 You are a dream of strangers' faces and open doors.{S}
 The men did that!{S}
 Andraste's mercy that you got here when you did!{S}
 I thought for sure these monsters were going to get me!{S}
 I thought I could make it to my home and back before they got here, but it took me too long to get down here.{S}
 By now, yes, they would have reached the castle walls.{S}
 I did not see anything that I would call an Archdemon.{S}
 I am going to get out of here before any more of those things arrive!{S}
 When did the darkspawn get here?{S}
 You should get to safety.{S}
 I need to get moving.{S}
 I do not rightly know.{S}
 Some did, yes, but we were able to close the gates and kill the ones in the courtyard.{S}
 He has urgent news for you!{S}
 I was told that he has urgent news, and to send out patrols to watch for your arrival.{S}
 There might be stragglers, but... you seem to have taken care of most of them out here.{S}
 I should take you to the hall right away, my lady.{S}
 I should take you to the hall right away, my lord.{S}
 Take me to him right away.{S}
 Does that include Hespith and the others of your house?{S}
 Of course I do.{S}
 I can give something back to the entire world! <desc><DogName/> barks happily.</desc>{S}
 Can you do something about this gory mess?{S}
 It is what I have seen.{S}
 That is the only place I can hide, because they make me... they make me eat.{S}
 All I could do was wish Laryn went first.{S}
 But I had to watch.{S}
 I had to see the change.{S}
 How do you endure that?{S}
 How did Branka endure?{S}
 What they are allowed to do.{S}
 Of what she did, of what we have become!{S}
 I will not become what I have seen!{S}
 End this?{S}
 What are they doing?{S}
 Help me and I will take you to her.{S}
 I can end this.{S}
 Tell me what I need to know! <emp>Save Redcliffe</emp>{S}
 You arrived in Redcliffe to find it under attack by darkspawn.{S}
 You have come to the Circle of Magi seeking the help of the mages.{S}
 Unfortunately, the Circle is in a state of chaos, the templars have locked the tower, and you have been sent in to investigate.{S}
 You have escaped the Fade, but the tower is still in dire straits.{S}
 First Enchanter Irving has promised that the mages will stand with you against the Blight.{S}
 The templars will deal with them.{S}
 In the meantime, Knight-Commander Greagoir has pledged the service of the templars to you.{S}
 I got the job done.{S}
 I bet that ruins your plans.{S}
 Your days of dealing with the circle are over.{S}
 You should know you are dealing with a Grey Warden.{S}
 I can not do anything for you.{S}
 You could have been pickier.{S}
 I do not, but my friend does.{S}
 I have a friend who knows a thing or two.{S}
 My friend here knows how to make traps.{S}
 Slums Thug <emp>Slay Witherfang and bring his heart to Zathrian</emp>{S}
 You have entered the ruins in the heart of the forest and must explore them to find the werewolves' lair and Witherfang. <emp>Slay Witherfang and bring his heart to Zathrian</emp>{S}
 You found a passage that leads into the werewolves' lair.{S}
 Unfortunately, it has been blocked.{S}
 Explore the ruins to find another way into the lair and to Witherfang.{S}
 Congratulations on being named commander, my lady.{S}
 The arl and I have a rich "history."{S}
 You will need to fight your way through the rest of Howe's estate.{S}
 The only real concern they have is whose ass gets the throne.{S}
 You do not have to play dumb, Warden.{S}
 Well, if you want the secrets of a Paragon, do the work and find her.{S}
 There, now that is the abuse I am used to.{S}
 I still do not trust you, of course.{S}
 Why do you care what I want?{S}
 Nobody cares about what I want.{S}
 Your boss trying to butter me up or what?{S}
 If you want the secrets of a Paragon, do the work and find her.{S}
 It is been two years since she disappeared down the Deep Roads, and your boss never gave her a thought.{S}
 I wonder, what does he think he can get from her now?{S}
 Make some sense, you drunk.{S}
 Looks like Howe's got himself a visitor.{S}
 Let us show our guest some hospitality, eh?{S}
 Anybody tries to come in here without Howe's say so, we get to do what we like with 'em.{S}
 I think we finally got a bit of entertainment here, lads!{S}
 You think you are clever, do you? <FirstName/>.{S}
 You keep on your errands.{S}
 Until your boss really commits to looking, you are getting nothing but smoke out of old Oghren.{S}
 I have a werewolf skin.{S}
 Alistair will be king, and I will rule beside him.{S}
 I do not think that would work.{S}
 You have to be joking.{S}
 What do you think could possibly tempt me to marry you?{S}
 I haven't taken <emp>that</emp> many blows to the head, you know.{S}
 You are going to need my help.{S}
 No, I do not think we can.{S}
 I... appreciate the offer, but I refuse.{S}
 True to her word, Morrigan vanished the same night she made her offer at Redcliffe Castle.{S}
 Several years later, tales out of Orlais said that a strange, dark-haired mage had insinuated herself within the empress's court.{S}
 Despite Loghain being executed in disgrace, Queen Anora insisted on building a monument to her father, overlooking the Orlesian embassy.{S}
 As the years passed, Anora continued to rebuff the advice of Ferelden's nobility requesting that she remarry.{S}
 Alistair returned to the Grey Wardens for a time, insisting that new recruits pay respect to <FirstName/>'s sacrifice and campaigning to relax some of the order's more secretive policies.{S}
 Alistair returned to the Grey Wardens for a time, helping to recruit new members to restore the order.{S}
 It quickly became apparent, however, that his presence in Ferelden made relations with the new queen strained at best.{S}
 She left with little explanation, saying only that she had old scores to settle.{S}
 Reports suggest that she got into an altercation with an influential mage there and was driven out.{S}
 After several months, her quarters were found empty.{S}
 The templars were told to look out for her, although no active search has yet been ordered.{S}
 I have failed, Wardens.{S}
 You sure you do not want to run?{S}
 You should have run away!{S}
 Have at it!{S}
 They do not make them like they used to.{S}
 Your armor is not done yet.{S}
 Bring it on!{S}
 Nice try.{S}
 Am I making you dizzy yet?{S}
 Embrace the darkness; that is all you have left.{S}
 When <FirstName/> finally left Denerim to continue her travels, Alistair went with her, electing to remain with the woman he loved.{S}
 They continued their adventures together--at least for a time.{S}
 Take that, you persistent bastard!{S}
 I found her in the forest.{S}
 She gave me a scarf, but it is gone.{S}
 I found Danyla in the forest.{S}
 Orzammar needs me here.{S}
 I sold your lyrium.{S}
 You have killed Howe and his pet mage and avenged your parents.{S}
 Queen Anora should be free.{S}
 Go quickly, before more guards find you.{S}
 Friends, we have argued long, but I would propose a different direction.{S}
 It is not unprecedented that one of our number should end up in the Legion of the Dead: The Memories attest to some bewildering falls from grace.{S}
 Only his choice to volunteer has propelled this beyond mere scandal.{S}
 The question we must ask is, "Does this serve us?"{S}
 The Legion has always seemed a last hope of redemption.{S}
 If a noble joins their number--by choice no less--this can only do good things for enrollment.{S}
 I say, let him go.{S}
 I know things have been difficult since the censure of our house.{S}
 I had hoped to bear the cost of my actions alone, but if I had a full understanding of consequences, I would not have murdered above my caste in the first place.{S}
 I did not abandon you lightly, but I knew of no other way to insulate you against my shame than by joining the Legion.{S}
 It is a half-measure that has earned me no right to seek your comfort, but please, I beg you for one moment of foolish optimism.{S}
 The things I have heard, I will not curse them by voicing them aloud, but it may be a path to respectability for my kin.{S}
 If there remains any official line open to our name, can you verify he is real, that House Ferald is in good stead? <attrib>--A letter from Maius, unsent.</attrib> <summary>On the Legion of the Dead.</summary>{S}
 May this report find the proper eyes to affect future tactics.{S}
 We found an enclave of the spawn, possibly a breeding lair, but we could make no approach.{S}
 I do not expect to survive, but I have made certain that most of my men will see another day.{S}
 But I simply cannot abandon the men I have looked in the eye and called brother.{S}
 Found dead with his squad.{S}
 It is rare for a soldier's actual death to exceed the honors given at his enlistment, but Ferald was an odd one, an agitator.{S}
 He was committed to the Stone with his insignia, as honorable a burial as we can manage with the spawn at our heels, but officially he has formed a second front.{S}
 The tale of the Dead Caste has revealed the location of an unmarked grave in the Dead Trenches.{S}
 If proven, the lineage of the Dead Caste house symbol could lead to the Legion of the Dead being considered as a form of noble house in its own right.{S}
 The Dead Caste insignia has been entered into the Memories.{S}
 By virtue of honored ancestry and great personal sacrifice on the part of its last descendant, the joining of House Ferald and the Legion of the Dead is recognized as worthy of investigation by the Memories.{S}
 If the lineage proves intact and sufficient, relations of the Legion of the Dead may be acknowledged as minor nobility, albeit with restrictions.{S}
 What more do you want?{S}
 What fortunes have they made, what houses have they elevated?{S}
 The minor veins they have traced have satisfied neither this Assembly nor their own gambler's thirst.{S}
 Their actions can only grow more erratic and undisciplined, and while no incidents have been reported, they will eventually undermine the stability of a major passage.{S}
 These "Crosscut Drifters" can find their fortune in a trade.{S}
 Let animals burrow wherever their nose points them.{S}
 Rogan cut a beautiful line down a minor vein today, twisting his supports along the footwall like a backbone.{S}
 He is got a gift for lagging; it is almost crystalline.{S}
 We are letting the Stone take us where she wants, not gouging out highways so the palace can have another pantry.{S}
 I say good luck to them; they will never find us to deliver the writ.{S}
 The Stone, she is pulling us to something, and to the vents if I will let dwarves who deny their sense get in the way of it. <attrib>--From the journal of Brunar, founding fellow, Crosscut Drifters.</attrib> <summary>On the Crosscut Drifters.</summary>{S}
 The actions of your team have potentially compromised two future projects, resulting in an expensive redesign of the Deep Roads.{S}
 Fortunately, development of the largest shaft will continue, or you would have faced additional fines.{S}
 You are in breach of Orzammar mining code and hereby forfeit all claims made during your unapproved activities.{S}
 Here is your response: Take a long breath from a short shaft.{S}
 We found trouble all right.{S}
 Rogan's lyrium vein led right to the flank of a darkspawn horde.{S}
 She knew, and she drew her chosen with a promise of ore we could taste in our bones.{S}
 We know it will work and we know the cost.{S}
 The Stone has shown us the way home. <attrib>--From the journal of Brunar, founding fellow, Crosscut Drifters.</attrib>{S}
 The tale of the Crosscut Drifters has revealed the location of an old cache in Caridin's Cross.{S}
 Crosscut Drifter's cache in Caridin's Cross has been uncovered.{S}
 I have nothing to tell you yet.{S}
 Do this in order{S}
 The fool has been following us for three days, but what can I do?{S}
 I am sure a city guard could lock him up for being a sodding idiot, but there is no law that says you can not seek your death in the Trenches.{S}
 I said to his face that if he puts our patrol at risk I would split him myself, but he is quiet, I will give him that.{S}
 Topsiders usually assume the end of a Blight erases the darkspawn from the world.{S}
 Why does this one care that his victory just drives them back on our doorstep?{S}
 That, or the lyrium will get him. <attrib>--From a Legion of the Dead field report, by Lieutenant Gant.</attrib>{S}
 I swear, Mortavold, I have never seen the like.{S}
 His strikes were light and did not echo on the Stone like those of our greatest, but the precision was that of a shaper carving a Memory across the darkspawn.{S}
 Damned if we did not raise our glasses to him last eve and share stories of honored family.{S}
 It makes me think of cousin Bern.{S}
 I think if he sends another letter I will read it.{S}
 Ties of kin should be stronger than where we choose to do business. <attrib>--From a letter from Corporal Trovid Oreson, date unknown.</attrib> <summary>On topsiders.</summary>{S}
 The Stone take this topsider as she would welcome her own.{S}
 He was born to air and sky, but has served the Deep Roads better than a native son.{S}
 We do not know his rites, and I fear the loss of his family blade may cause unrest on whatever journey he faces, but we know him as brother in blood, and extend that which is sacred to us.{S}
 Willem Trialmont, if the path home is dark, the Stone is honored to have you in the foundation. <attrib>--Epitaph for Willem Trialmont, 7:5 Storm.</attrib> <summary>On topsiders.</summary>{S}

 The topsider's story has revealed the location of his final battle with the darkspawn.{S}
 You have found all of the pieces of the topsider's sword.{S}
 Returning it to his corpse may bring him some peace.{S}
 The topsider's sword has been reconstructed after returning the pieces to his remains.{S}
 A weighted pommel of obviously fine elven make.{S}
 Do not know what they eat but they always seem healthier, you know?{S}
 How much you giving me?{S}
 This stuffed toy has clearly been the beloved companion of some child on numerous adventures.{S}
 Its seams all appear to have been patched many times over, and it is so dirty it is hard to tell what color it was supposed to be.{S}
 Do not think so!{S}
 You are the best wrangler I have ever seen, but there is more out there.{S}
 Got nothing to sell.{S}
 I knew I should have stuck to common nugs, now I have gone and lost them too.{S}
 I will never find them, the way they skitter.{S}
 I do not like those.{S}
 I do not have much besides gratitude, but find a bunch more of these and I will toss you whatever I have found.{S}
 Got to boil them before roasting but otherwise, no, safe as sand.{S}
 Some people swear they make good pets.{S}
 Only need one to turn this around.{S}
 One nug, that is all I need.{S}
 I have got a nug for you.{S}
 Look out, we got a cavern breach!{S}
 We will get plenty for their kit once we cut them out of it!{S}
 We have to get out of here!{S}
 Get them!{S}
 I am not prepared for poisons like this.{S}
 My patient needs her rest.{S}
 The poison was probably imported as a king killer, and she got dosed by mistake.{S}
 I have never seen anything this potent.{S}
 I know there is a counter, but the ingredients are so rare, it just does not matter.{S}
 Warden, I do not know.{S}
 Maybe you have seen something like this on the surface.{S}
 Maybe you have used something like it.{S}
 There is nothing I can do but wait.{S}
 You intended to seek help from the Circle of the Magi to defeat Connor's demon, but the mages have all perished in the terrible events that befell their tower.{S}
 You will have to return to Redcliffe and find another option. <summary>On shapers.</summary>{S}
 The blessing of the Shaperate is given only to those who walk with the Stone.{S}
 It is a path that cuts deep and the road is far from secure, but those who desire to work in memory must first honor it.{S}
 Orzammar has carved a legacy from the Stone, but history is more than the comings and goings that fill the streets.{S}
 The Shaper must step away from the familiar, and seek out revelations from the frontier or buried secrets from paths abandoned.{S}
 Far from abandoned, the Deep Roads are patrolled by those who fight for Orzammar and the Stone.{S}
 These defenders have seen great and tragic events unfold, but they are committed to the moment, not the memory.{S}
 He will fight if pressed--every dwarf owes that to the Stone--but his purpose is to record, not create.{S}
 Before the darkspawn, the Stone held an empire--dozens of thaigs, each cavern a shade of dwarven pride, communities separate but united.{S}
 But the Stone is a living history, and absence can reveal more than constant scrutiny does.{S}
 As the Stone shifts, she chooses what remains buried and what must see the light.{S}
 The shapers must return, must walk the lost way, so the children of the Stone can see what has been surrendered and what can be gained.{S}
 You have walked the path of the Shaperate and documented the Stone.{S}
 Never mind, let us keep moving.{S}
 While your concerns have merit, the Assembly has made itself clear.{S}
 It is the first glimpse that surface ambassadors have of Orzammar, an introduction not just to our living ancestors, but also to the Stone from which we were born.{S}
 The Hall must also serve a second purpose, as a last sight for departing brethren.{S}
 Those who choose to leave must do so with the heavy gaze of their Ancestors at their backs.{S}
 This was subsequently clarified by the Assembly to mean that the owning and operating of stalls or kiosks is limited to those of identified and approved house names with traceable Ancestor lineage of at least three generations.{S}
 Exceptions include individual purchases of goods or services from established stalls or kiosks, provided the funds are presented at the opening of the transaction, at the discretion of the stall or kiosk owner.{S}
 I am sure you understand the need to maintain strict quality control over all goods and services that flow through Orzammar, especially when we are making a concerted effort to encourage outside investment.{S}
 The Assembly feels that efforts to maintain the sanctity of the Proving have faltered.{S}
 It is intended to be inspiring, and remind the lower castes why their leaders lead.{S}
 We acknowledge the usefulness of a forum for the settling of honor debts, and concede that the occasional defeat of a noble can serve as appeasement, provided it is by a peer and the contest is properly adjudicated.{S}
 Extending this practice to the lower castes could prove a dangerous and barbaric precedent.{S}
 We have already seen the disruption that an unauthorized fighter can cause (the recent brand incident), and similar incidents should be discouraged with all possible prejudice. <attrib>--From an Assembly writ of censure, regarding management of the Provings.</attrib> <summary>On dwarven propriety.</summary>{S}
 It is agreed that no rules of procedure were explicitly broken, but a five-day filibuster is nonetheless worthy of censure.{S}
 Lord Dace's comment that "if Lord Gorosmote did not want a new heir, he should not have slummed for a concubine" was indeed inappropriate, but the proper procedure for resolution through Proving was followed.{S}
 Both parties agreed to accept his retraction, and that matter is considered separate and closed.{S}
 Your efforts have been exemplary, but these self-proclaimed cartels must defer to the Assembly and restore order.{S}
 Perhaps suggest that it would be a simple matter to march on the quarter, or simpler still to withdraw infrastructure support.{S}
 A tunnel breach would be most unfortunate, but current policy direction prohibits any deals that would legitimize cartel operations.{S}
 Downward pressure on certain elements of our society has proven useful in shoring up the economy with an excess of affordable labor.{S}
 Every stone has a face that can not be carved, a side that must be earthward.{S}

 The Stone will take her soon.{S}
 I am sure you are doing your best. <desc>As the antidote passes her lips, the patient visibly relaxes.{S}
 You found it!{S}
 Warden, you have my gratitude.{S}
 The Memories have never seen such a thing.{S}
 What have we been reduced to?{S}
 I did.{S}
 Almost like he took pride in being casteless!{S}
 As if he would find a buyer for a stolen tome in Dust Town.{S}
 Who would dare take from the Memories!{S}
 Did you get a good look at him?{S}
 What do you think you will find down here?{S}
 Open arms?{S}
 What makes you think anyone here would turn me...{S}
 You are here looking for me, and I do not like it.{S}
 You have walked into a sodding fight, Warden, and I have already passed your stupid tome along.{S}
 What do you want, Warden?{S}
 What makes you think I am looking for anything?{S}
 Coin for the man who takes the Warden down!{S}
 We have nothing to talk about, Warden.{S}
 I haven't done a thing.{S}
 This deal was all their making, Warden.{S}
 Technically, I haven't done anything wrong.{S}
 We have no business.{S}
 Unless you want to make a few coins.{S}
 Not that I am suggesting anything, but you are holding the prize now.{S}
 I have a collector in mind.{S}
 Who actually sells the item does not matter.{S}
 As always, I let people make their own decisions.{S}
 I think you will find that gold is a fine remedy for whatever outrage the Shaperate might have imparted.{S}
 Yes, well, I will keep my nose clean until you are long gone, how about that?{S}
 I will not get in your way.{S}
 You do not care who you get this Shaperate tome from?{S}
 I will take the deal.{S}

 We have lost and taken the Trenches so many times, even the Memories can not track it.{S}
 These ruins have seen hundreds of battles.{S}
 The Blight never ends for the dwarves.{S}
 How many generations have fought over the Trenches?{S}
 Such a depressing place to keep fighting over.{S}
 How often have they passed this back and forth?{S}
 This place has changed hands countless times.{S}

 Sodding Stone, what have they done?{S}
 What have they made?{S}
 Branka can not have known.{S}
 If this was allowed to happen, if there is betrayal here, the greatest monster is yet to come.{S}
 Could Branka have been complicit in this?{S}
 If this was allowed, someone has reduced these people to the most basic of components.{S}
 We could have taken her to Branka.{S}
 What is worse than what we have already seen?{S}
 Branka has to explain this.{S}
 She has to.{S}
 What was done to these people?{S}
 What was done to these people?{S}
 A voice that must have once held great beauty.{S}

 The spawn have retaken the Trenches.{S}
 Lets play with the lighting!{S}
 Let us go back.{S}
 You have taught our fighters some valuable lessons.{S}
 It will take some time before they are ready to challenge you again.{S}
 Take this, with my thanks.{S}
 Given any thought to some informal action in the Proving arena?{S}
 A number of people have told me they hoped to see you in the Provings.{S}
 In fact, a few were hoping you would take part in some... informal action.{S}
 They do not often get a chance to test themselves in the Provings.{S}
 We have got some young fighters ready to go.{S}
 We give small payouts, maybe a bonus from time to time, but this is not about money.{S}
 All that ritual lets nobles rationalize it is not a blood sport.{S}
 They do not like commoners using the arena for "petty squabbles."{S}
 And sometimes someone needs a good beating and all that talking gets in the way.{S}
 I trust you will keep the offer to yourself.{S}
 What do you have in mind?{S}
 Set me up with a team battle.{S}
 Who am I facing and what do I get for it?{S}

 Good work, Warden.{S}
 You have earned a portion of the receipts.{S}
 Let me know if you want to go again.{S}
 An herbalist in the royal palace gave you a recipe for a dwarven regicide antidote to cure a poisoned noble.{S}
 I have buyers waiting!{S}

 Let kings fight over kings; trade needs to flow!{S}

 Do not care, as long the gate is open.{S}
 Could not have held out much longer.{S}
 They do not know how close they came to losing their food lifeline.{S}
 They need us.{S}
 That is the way this works.{S}
 I go where the work is, and it is not here.{S}
 It will take time before trade is back where it was.{S}
 Good for whoever got them to pull their heads out of the stone.{S}
 I almost gave up, but where was I going to go?{S}
 I will not just stand here and take this.{S}
 Someone get them to tell me how long, because this is ridiculous.{S}
 They have lost all sense.{S}
 There are other places to sell.{S}
 I do not have to come back here.{S}
 Who cares who leads, as long as the gate is open.{S}
 Trade has to flow.{S}
 They have to open the gate.{S}
 I did not get into this business to sit on my goods.{S}
 They need a king to decide who buys clothes?{S}
 About time they opened the markets.{S}
 There is money to make.{S}
 They better be ready to buy in there.{S}
 Have to get back to my suppliers fast.{S}
 They will pay a premium until this backlog is moved.{S}

 No doubt this had something to do with "facing the dark side of your soul" or some such rubbish.{S}
 Did you see the cruelty on my... on her face?{S}
 This proves nothing.{S}
 I have nothing to fear from shadows.{S}
 Well, I wasn't expecting that, and I certainly do not want to go through it again.{S}
 Did you see that?{S}
 Did you see me?{S}
 So you are marrying Anora.{S}
 Do you... do you love her?{S}
 Then it is the best thing for Ferelden for me to let you go.{S}
 I respect her too much as a queen--and as a woman--to let what we have destroy us all.{S}
 If you are to marry her, marry her, and be wholly hers.{S}
 But you are still marrying her.{S}
 It is the only thing that matters.{S}
 It does not have to change anything between us.{S}
 You marry one, you love another.{S}
 I have seen this before.{S}
 Nothing needs to change.{S}
 Not if you do not want it to.{S}
 What do you think will happen to us?{S}
 So you are marrying Alistair.{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 This does not change anything.{S}
 Nothing needs to be different.{S}
 Yes, he will have you by his side.{S}
 And if he does not already, he will learn to love you.{S}
 He deserves to have you fully.{S}
 Well, he does not have to look.{S}
 We will find some way for us all to get along.{S}
 I do not know what this means for us.{S}
 Does that bother you?{S}
 This does not change anything between us.{S}
 Then do not say anything.{S}
 Sighard thanked you for freeing his son and pledged to support you at the Landsmeet.{S}
 Did I hear this correctly?{S}
 I am not ignorant of such matters, after all.{S}
 Let us talk, then.{S}
 That you have decided to marry a queen?{S}
 Sacrifices must be made for one's ambition.{S}
 Can we get back to matters at hand, now?{S}
 You do not think she might appreciate her husband having a maleficar on the side?{S}
 Indeed she does not.{S}
 Things have a way of working themselves out, yes?{S}
 Let us speak of this another time. <desc>Laughs</desc> Tell her whatever you like.{S}
 We share some... affection, do we not?{S}
 I trust this matter will work itself out in time, yes?{S}
 Until then, we have much that remains to be done.{S}
 I shall leave the matter in your hands, then.{S}
 She does not need to know about us.{S}
 Do you think I should tell her?{S}
 This does not have to mean anything.{S}
 We do, that is true.{S}
 Blood Mage Hideout end fight (for combat only, or laziness).{S}
 So... you have heard the rumor about the future queen?{S}
 She has this elven fellow on the side.{S}
 He is no dummy either, let me tell you.{S}
 I shall make it easy for you.{S}
 What we have... if it can no longer be, then it can no longer be.{S}
 I must admit I do love a good royal scandal.{S}
 Let us continue on, then.{S}
 We can always discuss this more later... provided one of us is not eaten by a dragon.{S}
 I had assumed... we have become close over time, you and I.{S}
 I simply thought once this all ended...{S}
 Ahh, let us not fool each other, yes?{S}
 Best to end it here.{S}
 We have become close, it is true, but once all this excitement ends...{S}
 No, no, do not be sorry.{S}
 You have made a fine match.{S}
 And if she proves a poor wife... then you know who to hire, yes? <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 You have made a fine match.{S}
 And if he proves a poor husband... then you know who to hire, yes? <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 Come, let us return to the task at hand.{S}
 So... you have heard the rumor, yes?{S}
 The future prince-consort has a lover.{S}
 This fellow I know, he is to marry a queen.{S}
 This beautiful woman I know, she is to marry a king.{S}
 There is no reason it has to end.{S}
 Best to end it here, then.{S}
 We do not have much, do we?{S}
 I confess, my confidence in your father allowed me some complacency.{S}
 I guess that makes it as much his fault.{S}
 I can not say I approve of the freedom your father allows.{S}
 Allied with Werewolves <emp>Find the missing elves</emp>{S}
 You have discovered that the missing elves have been sold into slavery by Caladrius, a Tevinter slaver.{S}
 You have recovered evidence that shows that Loghain knew about this, and allowed it.{S}
 But I have done so much more than wipe your name from Ferelden memory.{S}
 How suitable that their deaths should raise me to the ear of a king.{S}
 If you think you can take this from me, that I will allow it, you are very much mistaken!{S}
 That damned look in the eye that marked every Cousland success that held me back.{S}
 It would appear that you have made something of yourself after all.{S}
 You have grown, I will give you that, but I am also more than I was.{S}
 The death of your name raised me to the ear of a king.{S}
 Oh really, you should do as your father asked.{S}
 Queen Anora had a monument built to her father in honor of his redemption at Fort Drakon.{S}
 The monument was built overlooking the Orlesian embassy... "watching" it carefully, as the local legend goes.{S}
 In the months that followed their wedding, Alistair and Anora proved themselves a surprisingly effective pair.{S}
 Alistair spent a great deal of time at court, showing willingness to learn the art of governing from Anora and often deferring to her judgment--and no one was more surprised by this than Anora herself.{S}
 With both the king and queen actively involved in running their kingdom, the need for an advisor diminished with time. <FirstName/> continued to enjoy great popularity in Ferelden, however, and maintained considerable influence in the running of the kingdom.{S}
 As the chancellor, <FirstName/> was seen often at court, usually arguing with Queen Anora over matters of state.{S}
 The former Grey Warden enjoyed King Alistair's full confidence, however, and thus great influence in running the kingdom--more than the queen would like, probably, but she had little choice.{S}
 With the king seldom seen and disinclined to offer the chancellor his support, Queen Anora has the most sway over the running of the kingdom and arguments with her chancellor generally end in her victory.{S}
 The hero of Ferelden continues to enjoy great popularity in Ferelden, however, and maintains considerable political influence.{S}
 I am ready to get going.{S}
 Let me hear that again.{S}
 I need to hear that again.{S}

 I do not know that at all, no.{S}
 You will have to do better than that, I think.{S}
 Thank you for... finding them, at least.{S}
 There are all sorts of buildings back there, they could be using one as some sort of... warehouse?{S}
 But... how would they get them out of the Alienage?{S}
 I do not care why!{S}
 I just want to find everyone who is missing!{S}
 But... how could they take them away?{S}
 They can not just have vanished into thin air!{S}

 I hope they do not hurt anyone because of this!{S}
 I did not tell you to hurt anyone, did I?{S}
 Now I just need to find out what happened to Valendrian and the others...{S}
 Do not you see we have got enough problems?{S}
 We do not need you here just to stir up more of them!{S}
 You could use <emp>my</emp> help?{S}

 You could be working for the hospice.{S}
 I do not know how far you will get, but... thank you.{S}
 No, wait! <desc>sigh</desc> I do want your help.{S}
 Just... let me explain.{S}
 They have to know about it.{S}
 The hahren complained, and so did I.{S}
 They just do not care, or... something worse.{S}
 And if you can not, then please just... do not make anything worse.{S}
 You do not want to know.{S}
 I haven't found anything yet.{S}
 I will take a look around.{S}
 I really have no idea.{S}
 I am going to get to the bottom of this.{S}
 Why do not you go inside, if you are so eager?{S}
 I could use your help.{S}
 I have my own problems, actually.{S}
 Does the guard know about this?{S}
 I... know you have already done a lot for me, but...{S}
 I have to ask...{S}
 I do not know what is going on here, but I know she is in over her head.{S}
 I do not know what to say!{S}
 There are mages from Tevinter here, helping to treat it.{S}
 I will see what I can do.{S}
 I do not have time.{S}
 You simply fought your way in here to ask questions, did you?{S}
 An errant group of do-gooders, then?{S}
 A lone do-gooder, then?{S}
 Believe it or not, we have been given dispensation to do our business here.{S}
 You Fereldans talk a great deal about how very wrong slavery is, but is not it funny how quickly the smell of gold overcomes such ideals?{S}
 The humans talk a great deal about how very wrong slavery is, but is not it funny how quickly the smell of gold overcomes such ideals?{S}
 Do you have any idea how difficult it is to acquire new blood?{S}
 These slaves will fetch an excellent price in the Imperium, and we are paying handsomely for this opportunity.{S}
 Do we not?{S}
 So this makes us kin?{S}
 Do not be a fool.{S}
 I am Tevinter first and a servant of the Minrathous Circle second, those are the things that matter.{S}
 Do not be a fool.{S}
 I am Tevinter first and a servant of the Minrathous Circle second, those are the things that matter.{S}
 I am intrigued enough to wonder what brought you here, if not to exact righteous retribution?{S}
 You wish to parley, do you?{S}
 I am not about to take you before Caladrius.{S}
 I do not believe you intend him anything but harm.{S}
 Now we do battle.{S}
 I will let Caladrius deal with you while I fetch the Regent's men.{S}
 Let us finish this, then.{S}
 I intend to see you pay for the damage you have done, here.{S}
 And I intend to see you pay for the damage you have already done... in blood!{S}
 Do I look like one of the "authorities"?{S}
 I am looking for the elves you have brought here!{S}
 We do not need to fight.{S}
 Then again, perhaps we do need to fight.{S}
 I would certainly like to see you try.{S}
 I do not really care what you are up to.{S}
 It does not matter.{S}
 You would best get out of my way.{S}
 Did you talk to Shianni?{S}
 We do not need more trouble than we have already had.{S}
 I-I wish I could give you something.{S}
 Not that I had anything valuable to begin with.{S}
 I have seen a few sick people, myself, but by the time I got here it seemed to be under control.{S}
 She thinks healthy people are being taken by the healers.{S}
 She said someone named, "Valendrian," is missing.{S}
 I will let you know what I find out.{S}
 She said that to me as well, but it does not make sense.{S}
 Why would they lock people inside that house unless they had a reason?{S}
 I did not realize...{S}
 You did?{S}
 What did she say?{S}
 There is a back alley that leads to some old rat-trap apartments.{S}
 Last year, the owner got picked up by the city watch.{S}
 His place had a door that led out to the docks.{S}
 He was using it to smuggle in weapons.{S}
 Some people think it was my fault that Howe led a purge in here.{S}
 If I hadn't tried to attack the arl's son...{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 He... took something from me.{S}
 And I tried to get it back.{S}
 People think that is what brought on the purge.{S}
 I do not want trouble.{S}
 Where are all the people who lived in this building?{S}
 Have you seen Tevinters bringing elves through here?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 You must have seen what is going on here.{S}
 Nothing you can do is worse than being the only one left...{S}
 I do not know, I swear!{S}
 I only saw them take people away.{S}
 They will find out I talked, and they will take me away like the others!{S}
 You have got to leave before they see you here!{S}
 I saw them take everyone.{S}
 You can not buy me!{S}
 They already did! <desc>Laughs</desc>{S}
 They took them!{S}
 Please, I do not know nothing!{S}
 I have only seen them take people away.{S}
 Everyone does.{S}
 Took them right out of their beds.{S}
 They took him through here yesterday.{S}
 You have to go.{S}
 They will find out I talked, and they will take me, too!{S}
 They took everyone else.{S}
 Where did they take everyone?{S}
 Have you seen my father?{S}
 What else have you seen?{S}
 We have paid for many of Loghain's troops, but once the Landsmeet is done we become... inconvenient.{S}
 So here is my offer: one hundred sovereigns from you for a letter with the seal of the Teyrn of Gwaren upon it, implicating him in all of this.{S}
 'Tis a reasonable enough <emp>starting</emp> offer.{S}
 I suggest you look those elves in the eyes before you agree to have them hauled off to slavery, my friend.{S}
 So... do we have a deal?{S}
 Did I say you were?{S}
 For free.{S}
 I suppose, if we are allowed to keep <emp>everything</emp> else...{S}
 If you think I would even take a contract to slay such unfortunates, then you do not truly know me.{S}
 For free? <desc>Laughs</desc> Oh, no, no.{S}
 Do not be ridiculous.{S}
 Hopefully you have a more serious offer in mind?{S}
 No, I think you are not in a good enough position to make such threats.{S}
 We take the slaves, however?{S}
 You would let them take these elves off to become slaves?{S}
 I suppose I should be surprised less than anyone to find you so... flexible.{S}
 Lovely the bargains we make these days. <desc>laughs</desc> Look at him sweat.{S}
 Oh no, that will not do.{S}
 Have you anything else to suggest?{S}
 I have always been too optimistic for my own good, it is true.{S}
 Now that is not much of a <emp>deal</emp>, is it? <desc>sigh</desc> Let us do this the hard way, then.{S}
 We are <emp>paying</emp> them, too?{S}
 Ahh, a comedian. <desc>sigh</desc> Let us settle this the hard way, then.{S}
 This intruder fought her way through the courtyard, but claims that she is not here to exact revenge. <desc>Scoffs</desc> And thus you thought it best to bring the Grey Warden directly to me?{S}
 Have you no sense, my dear?{S}
 I hope you know what you are doing...{S}
 Well, what is done is done.{S}
 Well met, Grey Warden.{S}
 I am Caladrius, and I have heard a great deal about you and... your friends.{S}
 Well, what is done is done.{S}
 Well met, Grey Warden.{S}
 I am Caladrius, and I have heard a great deal about you.{S}
 It was you who asked to be brought to speak with me.{S}
 Now, now, is this how we begin?{S}
 Even so, your point is made: you do frighten me.{S}
 After I brought you?{S}
 What did you expect?{S}
 Surely we can reach some kind of... compromise? <desc>Sigh</desc> Pity.{S}
 It looks as if we shall have to settle this the hard way, then.{S}
 You should get outside a bit more, my dear.{S}
 How do I know this letter of yours is any good?{S}
 I have a counter-offer.{S}
 I will accept your deal, but you give me the letter for free.{S}
 Since when do you spare anyone?{S}
 I will do what I have to.{S}
 Take your slaves and go.{S}
 What do I care?{S}
 Just let me do my job.{S}
 I did not think he would actually accept...{S}
 Take your money and go.{S}
 You do not really think I will let you leave with more elves?{S}
 I suggest you keep your screaming to a minimum.{S}
 Get out with your hides.{S}
 My offer is this: I kill you and take everything for free.{S}
 No deal.{S}
 Do not you have an agreement with Loghain?{S}
 Just how do you know who I am?{S}
 I just want to get to the point.{S}
 Just a ruse to get closer to you, yes.{S}
 I want to know how you have heard of me.{S}
 Get to the point, then.{S}
 Let us talk again after I have slaughtered your friends.{S}
 Were I to... use the life force of the remaining slaves here, I could... augment your physical health a great deal!{S}
 Allow me to leave this place alive and I would be more than happy to do this little service for you.{S}
 Hmm, an interesting offer, if a tad messy.{S}
 So... is my offer of interest to you?{S}
 I do not suppose you would consider just letting me go?{S}
 Are they simply coin to be spent for your favor?{S}
 Perhaps you have a point.{S}
 It just gets better and better, I see.{S}
 Then allow me to gather my strength.{S}
 And we are done.{S}
 Get out of here now.{S}
 I suggest you come up with a new offer.{S}
 Grey Wardens take assistance... whatever the form.{S}
 Keep your opinions to yourself.{S}
 No, I do not suppose I would. <act>Attack.</act>{S}
 If need be, yes.{S}
 Even so, I am doing this.{S}
 I do not think so.{S}
 Quick, get them!{S}
 Quick, get him!{S}
 Quick, get her!{S}
 The helpless need not ask for what is deserved.{S}
 "Join the Grey Wardens!{S}
 Let us kick a grandmother next, that should make us real popular.{S}
 Such a thing of value must be paid for in kind.{S}
 If that is the case, we should probably offer the girl something in exchange, no?{S}
 It will release the hounds! <emp>Find the mage's treasure</emp>{S}
 You have recovered one of a set of four items hidden by a Tevinter mage.{S}
 I did not need them.{S}
 Jar <emp>Find the mage's treasure</emp>{S}
 You have recovered two of the items hidden in the forest by the Tevinter mage.{S}
 Two more remain. <emp>Find the mage's treasure</emp>{S}
 You have recovered three of the items hidden in the forest by the Tevinter mage.{S}
 One item remains to find.{S}
 A little more ceremony than I wanted, but let us go!{S}
 Let us give them a show, eh Mandar?{S}
 I must deal with the Blight.{S}
 I am just trying to help your people. <emp>Convince the barkeep to give the militia free drinks</emp>{S}
 You have learned that the Redcliffe militia is unhappy because they have to pay for drinks.{S}
 The men do not have much coin, and they face the prospect of a gory death.{S}
 Since Lloyd is no longer manning the bar, perhaps you could arrange for the militia to get their free drinks from Bella.{S}
 Get to your positions!{S}
 Make ready!{S}
 Find sister justine's srolls.{S}
 You did not take the Litany from Niall, did you?{S}
 We will need it to save the mages.{S}
 Whatever is going on up there, I do not think we will have time to go back for the Litany.{S}
 Do not forget the Litany.{S}
 Use it now!{S}
 Uldred's trying something!{S}
 He is doing something to the mages!{S}
 Use the Litany!{S}
 Your activities have angered the villagers of Haven, who have attacked you.{S}
 Defend yourself, and get to the bottom of all of this.{S}
 You answered a request for help found on Chanter Devons' board in Lothering.{S}
 There were other pleas, however, and perhaps there is more you can do for the chanter. <emp>Help the chanter</emp>{S}
 No need to say that you have chosen a man over me.{S}
 You thought you might keep both your man as well as myself?{S}
 I must say this is new for me, but let us give credit where it is due, shall we?{S}
 The assassin certainly has his charms.{S}
 I do not think it is solid enough to stand on, but it is a start.{S}
 That part of the bridge looks like its there, but I do not think it is.{S}
 Try something else.{S}
 I would not trust that thing to hold my weight.{S}
 Does your Andraste have such an excess of followers that she is willing to lure them to their deaths with ghosts and lies?{S}
 If we can get all the bridge pieces to be solid, we could make it across.{S}
 We have to take them one at a time to get across.{S}
 Each piece must be made solid in order for one of us to cross.{S}
 I do not want to be the one that has to go down there to scrape you off the bottom.{S}
 We will make it across one step at a time.{S}
 But perhaps someone else should go first. <desc>sigh</desc> Why do not we just get one person across and go from there?{S}
 Perhaps only one of us needs to go on.{S}
 Let us get one person across and be done with it.{S}
 I do not see how we are going to get all of us across.{S}
 It seems to me we will only be able to get one person across.{S}
 Perhaps only one of us needs to cross this chasm.{S}
 Let us just get someone across and be done.{S}
 Can we do it again? <desc>snort</desc> Branka would have loved this.{S}
 The Blight ravages the land, and here we are playing with switches and stepping stones.{S}
 How do you think that was accomplished?{S}
 Something to do with building bridges with friends or some such.{S}
 With the ceremonies over, speak to Bhelen in the Royal Palace and secure his support against the Blight.{S}
 With the ceremony over, speak to King Harrowmont in the Chamber of the Assembly and secure his support against the Blight.{S}
 Maker, they put a lot of buckles on this thing...{S}

 My parents will labor in the army camp, and they will expect me to do the same, but...{S}
 I do not like the idea of being surrounded by human soldiers who haven't seen a woman in months.{S}
 I would, but my father would have to believe I have a future here...{S}
 Of course, but I can not imagine anyone here has much to spare.{S}
 We would need another three silvers to make it to Highever.{S}
 Nobody has that much money and if they did why would they give it to us?{S}
 W-where did you get this much money?{S}
 Now I just have to handle the parents...{S}
 I do not have much hope.{S}
 Do you think you can convince my father?{S}
 Let me talk to him.{S}
 Take it.{S}
 I will be back if I can find some money.{S}
 What do you think you are doing?{S}
 It may even be too late, for I have seen with my own eyes what lies on the horizon.{S}
 I have a little something for everyone.{S}
 Oh do not pretend to be surprised now.{S}
 Like they say, you have to slay the dragon before you get the princess.{S}

 I am done with you. <act>Kill him.</act>{S}

 You are giving up, just like that?{S}
 I hate to see you go, but I will not make you stay.{S}

 I do not need a drunk dwarf holding us back, anyway.{S}

 I am confident that I can appease the Aequitarians and Loyalists, but the Libertarians are proving divisive.{S}
 The threat of Blight has actually served some good in unifying us under a common cause, but it does not bode well that any given table in the Great Hall is likely to be ideologically weighted against its neighbor.{S}

 Find the remaining apprentices and give each of them a Notice of Termination.{S}
 Two of them can be found in Denerim.{S}
 Hear me and obey: My power waning, I, Krebulash the Epithet, require a reconnection to the mystic places I have left behind.{S}
 Find and activate four mystical sites of power, located in the Brecilian Forest, the Deep Roads, Denerim, and the Circle Tower.{S}
 You found and activated the four mystical sites of power.{S}
 You found and activated the four mystical sites of power for the mages collective.{S}
 My worst fears have been realized: A band of devilish maleficarum are performing their profane rituals within close proximity to my own sanctum!{S}
 I, Jubasto, charge he who accepts this request to destroy the fiends before their evil brings unwanted attention from either templars or demons to my back door!{S}
 You have slain the maleficarum.{S}
 You have slain the maleficarum for the mages collective.{S}
 Our friend has not been seen in quite some time, and our gatherings are the lesser for the loss of his tales of ribald exploits and the aroma of his delicious twice-baked meat pies.{S}
 Oh, how he did so love the outdoors!{S}
 Find Renold and return to the collective with news of his whereabouts.{S}
 You found Renolds body, along with the abomination that killed him.{S}
 Have You Seen Me? <summary>A plea from a mage.</summary>{S}
 Should you find this note, I beg you, please complete my task.{S}
 It seems that my young apprentice got mixed up in magic unmentionable, for which I pledged to pursue him to the ends of the world.{S}
 If you are reading this, then my apprentice caught up to me and choked from me my last breath.{S}
 I beg you to delve into this ancient elven forest and end the threat of the abomination my beloved apprentice has become.{S}
 Should you do this, then I beg you, keep the feldspar ring you find on my apprentice's finger as a token of my thanks.{S}
 Their continued devotion to our safety requires certain concessions on our part.{S}
 Procure 10 lyrium potions and offer them up to Knight-Commander Harrith in Redcliffe.{S}
 You have delivered 10 lyrium potions to Knight-Commander Harrith.{S}
 If mages giving questionable "gifts" to templars does not seem right, you can go to Knight-Commander Tavish in Denerim and testify about the bribe, with the lyrium potions as evidence.{S}
 Justice Must Be Served{S}
 I will see to this matter personally.{S}
 Consider it handled, my friend.{S}
 I will make sure the collective's generosity is reciprocated.{S}
 I have a package for you from the mages' collective.{S}
 I have a gift for you from the mages' collective.{S}
 My business does not concern you.{S}
 I think you have spelled the end of the mages' collective.{S}
 Have a well-earned rest, my friend.{S}
 You have done the Maker's work.{S}
 I will take this note from you... and I will confiscate this lyrium as evidence.{S}
 You have done a great thing here, friend.{S}
 I have a package of testimonies for you to read.{S}
 I have something you might be interested in.{S}
 Which of the following did you do?{S}
 Did you tell Alfstanna or hold out for a bribe?{S}
 I found Irminric.{S}
 Held out for bribe.{S}
 The activities of the maleficarum on my doorstep did not go unnoticed, and now I am in danger of being brought before the templars myself!{S}
 A small band of drifters claim to have seen me practicing forbidden arts, and they have left to deliver testimony of my alleged deeds to the Chantry!{S}
 I ask the mages' collective to find and stop these false witnesses by any means necessary.{S}
 Track down and stop a small group of adventurers from giving false testimony of alleged blood magic.{S}
 You tracked down the adventurers and put a stop to their questionable testimony.{S}
 You tracked down a small band of adventurers and put a stop to their questionable testimony.{S}
 What is the deal?{S}
 Did you say you wanted to kill Loghain?{S}
 I made a deal with Anora.{S}
 Alistair and Anora are getting married.{S}
 I am supporting Anora for the throne.{S}
 I am marrying Anora.{S}
 You tracked down a small group of adventurers to stop them from delivering their testimony, but you let them go free.{S}
 Hey... no need to get pushy.{S}
 As long as it gets there.{S}
 I think we can handle a few losers in armor.{S}
 Why not let us deliver your message?{S}
 You do not say.{S}
 While they tend to be careful and judicious in their use of force, the templars do, indeed, make mistakes.{S}
 I understand that several relatives of our friends among the collective will soon become targets of the Chantry, and while I trust that this will not lead to lasting harm for those innocents, I wish to ensure that those targeted are fairly warned and evacuated before the Chantry can send its message.{S}
 I ask that a noble soul take the bundle of vials attached to this missive and find the four homes the Chantry is likely to target in Denerim.{S}
 You have marked the front doors of all four families accused of being related to blood mages.{S}
 You have marked the front doors of all four families accused of being related to blood mages.{S}
 Let the Chantry come; those families will be safe.{S}
 We have intercepted messages on their way to the Chantry in Denerim listing a number of our friends among the collective as suspected blood mages.{S}
 Should they reach Knight-Commander Tavish, it could spell doom for our humble group of simple mages.{S}
 We seek a loyal and discreet courier to see to it that these testimonies find their way to the generous and pious Knight-Commander Harrith in Redcliffe rather than to the notoriously inflexible Denerim Chantry.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 Oh and landsmeet is opened up now....{S}
 You have been asked to find ten Stolen Goods in Denerim and bring them to Feoran in Denerim's Market District.{S}
 You found ten Stolen Goods.{S}
 You found ten Stolen Goods and returned them to Feoran in Denerim's Market District for a reward.{S}
 Got anything for me? <desc>Laughs</desc> I wish I could see the look on their weasel faces!{S}
 Get yourself something nice.{S}
 Well, get back out there.{S}
 You look like the type who does not mind doing a little work for pay.{S}
 So, if you happen upon any stolen goods, bring 'em to me.{S}
 I will see that you get your share.{S}
 Go get 'em.{S}
 I got the stolen goods.{S}
 A young child who was forced to pick pockets by a gang of thugs gave you a note.{S}
 If you bring ten Stolen Goods to Pomer the guard, he might consider letting the young children go free.{S}
 You brought ten Stolen Goods to Pomer the guard, who freed the children he caught picking pockets.{S}
 Well, if they were forced to do it... and you have all this evidence... and you have taken care of the ones responsible....{S}
 I see no reason to hold these children any longer.{S}
 They are free to go, thanks to you.{S}
 I will make sure this sort of thing never happens again.{S}
 Oy, what is that you are doing there, son?{S}
 Picking the ol' pockets, eh?{S}
 Do not think we haven't been watching you and your little friends!{S}
 I did not take nothing!{S}
 I was just giving them a note!{S}
 Well, it has to stop sometime, I say!{S}
 Keep your eyes sharp.{S}
 I have some evidence that those children are not thieves.{S}
 Good ol' Jareb will take good care of you, he promises!{S}
 I shall honor his memory for all time... though I am sure I never met him.{S}
 Take this for your troubles.{S}
 I will get out of your way, then.{S}
 A woman named Delli from Redcliffe has lost her son, Gabon.{S}
 If you find Gabon or the necklace, return to Redcliffe and let Delli know.{S}
 You found a man beneath a bridge in the Frostback Mountains.{S}
 He had been possessed by a spirit and turned into a murderer.{S}
 You found an heirloom necklace and a diary on the man, whose name is Gabon.{S}
 You have found Gabon?{S}
 He always liked dwarves... even that do-nothing Dwyn.{S}
 Oh, to have lost a son in such times.{S}
 Maybe we can find your son.{S}
 I think I found your son.{S}
 I have treats.{S}
 I have cookies and bones!{S}
 Unfortunately I have to leave.{S}
 Get away!{S}
 And once you are in the story, they <emp>find</emp> you.{S}
 See, I found copies.{S}
 Take them!{S}
 I can not take it.{S}
 It pleases me that you wish to follow in my footsteps and bring the Maker's word to the unenlightened.{S}
 I wish you had chosen a less dangerous place to do so!{S}
 Apologies for leaving early for the Wilds, son, but I wanted to set up camp and get things started.{S}
 The Chasind respect one with survival skills in the Wilds, so I hoped to get a grip on that before you arrived, and maybe establish an agreement with a local tribe so that we had friends when you came.{S}
 When you reach the Wilds, you will find it difficult to navigate.{S}
 I have listed certain landmarks below.{S}
 If you follow them, they will lead you to a location I have scouted out, where I have left you some supplies.{S}
 If you are lost, try to get back to that spot, and I will find you.{S}
 The landmarks are as follows, beginning at the entrance to the Wilds from Ostagar:{S}
 - Look for a tree leaning on a ruined building{S}
 There you will find our meeting point.{S}
 I have had difficulty finding the Chasind to bring them the Maker's word.{S}
 I have, however, seen evidence of their passing.{S}
 They appear to have left this area in great haste, possibly fleeing the so-called "darkspawn" that are rumored to be gathering in the Wilds in ever greater numbers.{S}
 I have left you a weapon and everything else I can spare, my son.{S}
 I will try to find you once I have found a safe place.{S}
 With luck, we will meet again.{S}
 And take care of our family.{S}
 You found a corpse near the entrance to the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 A letter on the corpse detailed a path through the Wilds that should lead to the place where the deceased is meant to meet his father.{S}
 You discovered Rigby's meeting point and found a note and a small cache of goods, but no sign of Rigby.{S}
 You found the last will and testament of someone named Rigby on a body in the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 Find the cache mentioned in the will, and take it to Jetta in Redcliffe.{S}
 You found the cache mentioned in Rigbys last will and testament.{S}
 You found the cache mentioned in Rigby's last will and testament.{S}
 You opened the lockbox and took the contents for yourself.{S}

 Is there a real Gaxkang to find?{S}
 Something is working behind the scenes in Ferelden.{S}
 The notes you have acquired from dead or terrified adventurers point to an ancient evil, or at least, an ancient man telling stories of ancient evil.{S}
 You have cause to speak with Vilhm Madon, who lives somewhere in Denerim.{S}
 Unbound <desc>Chuckles</desc> The adequate ones find the beacons, and then <emp>I</emp> find <emp>them</emp>.{S}
 To whoever finds this note,{S}
 I have come to the Wilds to speak the Chant, but I fear I will die here at the hands of the darkspawn.{S}
 Should the reader of this note feel charitable, I have buried a sealed lockbox in our camp, nestled in a Tevinter ruin in the western reaches of the Wilds.{S}
 It is my will that this lockbox finds my wife in Redcliffe, and that it is still sealed shut when it reaches her.{S}
 To my wife and my son, I apologize that my work has taken me from you, but I know that I die in service to the Maker. <attrib>--Rigby</attrib>{S}
 They have hidden markers and signs in the arrangements of stones and rubble along the paths of the Wilds.{S}
 In this way, they mark trails, note places of interest, and even give warnings in a way that outsiders cannot understand.{S}
 I have dedicated my time to deciphering these signs, and I believe I am close to a breakthrough.{S}
 The trail markers seem to point to a horde or a location used for secret storage among the Chasind.{S}
 I have only found a portion of the message, however.{S}
 I think that if I could complete the message, find all of the trail markers, I can find this cache and see what treasure the Chasind have to hide.{S}
 I have found one such marker near this camp, under a fallen tree leaning against the ruins.{S}
 I hope I can find this treasure before it is too late! <attrib>--An excerpt from Rigby's field journal</attrib>{S}
 What do I care about recent dead?{S}

 Ferelden has never seen an army such as you will command.{S}
 Tend to your other recruits, lest they feel... inadequate. <desc>Laughs</desc> You will see, Warden.{S}
 You have the numbers I need?{S}
 Glad to have you.{S}
 Orzammar has sent her best, Warden.{S}
 It has been a long time since the dwarven army has marched on the surface.{S}
 I have made note.{S}
 Do not worry about that.{S}
 You will be running to keep up when we give the order. <desc>Laughs</desc> We will be fine, as long as the ground hasn't forgotten how to shake.{S}
 Keep them at the ready.{S}

 The Korcari Wilds are rife with legends and myths that have amazed and confounded scholars since the fall of Ostagar in ancient times.{S}
 Gazarath began to fancy her, and they spent much of their days together, talking and laughing.{S}
 Over the years, however, Astia became a woman and began to seek the company of men.{S}
 When Astia met Nebbunar, the two fell in love, and Astia hoped to bring her lover to see her spirit friend.{S}
 Gazarath told her that she would never see it again until she brought her lover's ashes and sprinkled them over their spot.{S}
 But she began to miss Gazarath, and on the day Nebbunar asked her to marry him, she cut her beloved's throat, burned him, and brought his ashes to Gazarath, knowing that their marriage would forever sever her ties to her dear spirit friend.{S}
 If you take the ashes I gave you and scatter them over a pile of rocks on an overhang overlooking that half-sunken Tevinter dome, maybe Gazarath will appear and give you a wish!{S}
 If the battle takes you there, I think it is worth a try!"{S}
 My wish has been granted...{S}
 You sprinkled corpse ash over a pile of stones believed to stand on the spot where Astia and Gazarath used to meet.{S}
 My husband and son went there to bring the Chant of Light to the Chasind, but I haven't heard from them since.{S}
 You have heard of me?{S}
 If you are bringing me this...{S}
 Thank you so much for bringing this to me.{S}
 We have all lost someone.{S}

 I have identified a number of areas that could benefit from your attention, Grey Warden.{S}
 The sincerity of your cause has drawn them together under a common banner.{S}
 It would not have happened otherwise.{S}
 They will work together?{S}

 Gems would serve the most utility.{S}
 We are dealing with many smaller foundries, and larger values might overwhelm.{S}
 Crafting components would serve best.{S}
 We will make good use of what you have brought us, Warden.{S}
 You will have the best equipped army Ferelden has ever seen.{S}
 Were you to commit additional funds, we would upgrade as we saw the need.{S}
 If you need staff after the battle, keep us in mind.{S}
 You will have the best equipped force since... well, ever.{S}

 Such a force has not been seen since the collapse of the Tevinter Imperium.{S}
 Despite the Loyalists' grasp on the mages' political community, many Libertarians and Aequitarians have begun to see eye to eye with respect to the Chantry's role in a mage's daily life.{S}
 A growing number of mages, particularly those whose magic never strays from the Maker's mandate, feel that the Chantry's constant oversight is a burden upon their creativity and their very will, and one that hinders their ability to do their work.{S}
 These mages, along with a number of hedge wizards who work their arts outside the Chantry's influence, have formed a shadow-guild of sorts, a mages' collective, wherein members can submit requests and have them seen to without judgment.{S}
 This collective manages to work in relative secrecy, their members discreet and their clients anonymous.{S}
 As of yet, this collective has seen no sanction from the templars, and there has been no sign that its members are practicing magic of which the Maker would not approve.{S}
 Still, practicing magic outside of the influence of the Chantry is a dream for some and a dangerous notion for others, and many believe that it is only a matter of time before the veil of secrecy is lifted and the mages' collective is brought to swift and brutal justice. <attrib>--From <title>A Treatise on Magic and Politics</title>, by First Enchanter Josephus.</attrib>{S}
 Exactly who I was hoping to meet.{S}
 Next to me, and in every major settlement, you will find an inconspicuous sack containing requests from mages all over the land who need the assistance of someone skillful and discreet.{S}
 We have agents in every major settlement to reward you for work done on behalf of the collective.{S}
 Should you come around, just search the sack and do what you must.{S}
 And those members who have submitted requests are anonymous... save one or two more arrogant clients.{S}
 I assure you, we are doing the Maker's work.{S}
 Magic is not ruling man under our watch.{S}
 All we seek is life outside of the templars' shadow.{S}
 Take this.{S}
 You have earned it.{S}
 I will take a look at these requests.{S}
 Give me a reason not to turn you in to the templars.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 No greater respect than the name of Warden... or greater crimes, believe the rumors.{S}
 To the point, my friends sometimes need help and they can not ask the guards.{S}
 I wonder if you have interest in being a more... common hero?{S}
 I maintain a small box of certain interests that my brethren have found... intimidating.{S}
 If you choose to help any of my associates, the means that you employ are up to your own discretion.{S}
 If you change your mind, need a coin or two, my box of certain interests is not going anywhere.{S}
 We are all just doing what we have to, Warden.{S}
 No, and you are lucky I do not report you.{S}
 Oh, I could talk about shoes all day, but we have things to do, do not we?{S}
 We are not a group that invites scrutiny, even when we need help.{S}
 I might take a look.{S}
 I did not see a thing.{S}
 You are making friends, Warden.{S}
 Pleasure doing business with you, Warden.{S}
 Can not say I am pleased with that last bit, Warden, but a deal's a deal.{S}
 You find a few pages from a diary.{S}
 The way I feel, I would agree, but us talking proves otherwise.{S}
 Maybe I did not get out of the king's line as graceful as you, but I did.{S}
 Odds were not with me, not in the king's line, but I got out.{S}
 Maybe hope did not die with a fool king after all.{S}
 Shah Wyrd <desc>Sigh</desc> In it for the glory, and the lad never even got to take the shine off his father's sword.{S}
 Spawn did not gut him like... some others, but he is just as dead.{S}
 Maybe they have him in the king's tent with daddy's blade.{S}
 Where did they take Cailan?{S}
 I did not feel like talking about it then.{S}
 The skills I learned I used to serve her, my bard-master, because I loved her, and because I enjoyed what I did.{S}
 She claimed to have retired.{S}
 She married a noble and inherited his wealth when he died.{S}
 I was to bring Marjolaine everything he carried.{S}
 Marjolaine... had been selling all kinds of information about Orlais to other countries--Nevarra and Antiva, among others.{S}
 My life as bard taught me that my loyalties should be kept fluid.{S}
 Orlais has been at war with so many countries.{S}
 It takes a harsh view of such things... as I later discovered.{S}
 I should have left well alone, but I did not.{S}
 I had to tell Marjolaine I feared for her life.{S}
 That is why the documents had to be destroyed, she said.{S}
 They captured me... did terrible things to make me confess and reveal my conspirators.{S}
 I did not seek Marjolaine out.{S}
 If she thought I was coming for her, she would have me caught again.{S}
 I was tempted to confront her; I was furious, betrayed, but what could I do against her?{S}
 It feels good to have this off my chest.{S}
 I do not think so...{S}
 I have not seen a shadow of an Orlesian since I came to Ferelden.{S}
 It was cowardly to try to save myself?{S}
 To drag my broken body across the Wilds to Ferelden, where the Orlesians cannot touch me?{S}
 And you would have thrown yourself at a wall of armored chevalier, out for your blood?{S}
 I resealed them and gave them to her, as she had instructed.{S}
 But I had always assumed Marjolaine only operated within Orlais.{S}
 In a way I did, but these feelings were triggered by events which I did not tell you about.{S}
 Maybe you are right and it does not matter.{S}
 Most countries do not appreciate treason.{S}
 So you were dutiful, but you still got in trouble?{S}
 Put it behind you and move on.{S}
 Probably have him dripping somewhere like a split pig.{S}
 Does not matter, eh?{S}
 Go on, I need some air.{S}
 This is what matters to so many?{S}
 The wild places did not mark his fall.{S}
 I do not want to see anyone like this.{S}
 No king of mine, but still enough to put me off my drink.{S}
 Cailan tried his best, despite the forces against him.{S}
 I did not want to see this happen to Cailan, but it seemed necessary at the time.{S}
 Like many things do, I suppose.{S}
 What form of penance matters to a dead man?{S}
 I made my choices with the good of Ferelden in mind.{S}
 I regret many things, but dwelling on what could have been serves no one, least of all Cailan.{S}
 I will make peace in my own time.{S}
 I am sure you know that times are getting worse every day.{S}
 With your help, the Irregulars could be of use to Ferelden once more.{S}
 Unlike most who work with us, you are getting letters straight from Raelnor and Taoran, our leaders.{S}
 When you have completed a mission, just return to me or any of our members stationed at an Irregulars post.{S}
 We will make sure your efforts are rewarded.{S}
 We have helped nobles defend their land and given our service to people in need for generations.{S}
 Our current captain, Raelnor, is an honorable man who sees that we can do some good in Ferelden once more.{S}
 He is so confident in our mission that he trusted the Grey Wardens would support us.{S}
 Is there something I can do for you?{S}
 I will take a look.{S}
 I should have listened to my sister.{S}
 I thought I would have to go find you, but here you are.{S}
 I bet they will make me a sergeant after I defeat a Grey Warden!{S}
 It did not say I had to do it fairly.{S}
 You here to bash my skull in for the Irregulars, I take it.{S}
 I do not know what that would prove, but I guess it would make you feel better.{S}
 I will make it look good.{S}
 Have at you, and so forth.{S}
 Enjoy whatever it is they pay you.{S}
 But as I have come to know, my supposed wisdom served me no better.{S}
 Good work, that.{S}
 But I have no time to straighten this out for you.{S}
 Men, let us teach the Grey Warden a lesson about trust.{S}
 What business would the mighty Grey Wardens have with a man like me?{S}
 Our continued friendship is guaranteed.{S}
 Tell your captain that our deal is now ironclad.{S}
 Let me be.{S}
 What did he do to deserve this?{S}
 I am sorry but your husband has fallen in battle.{S}
 You have my condolences.{S}
 I did not know your husband very well, but I am sure he was a good man.{S}
 He has fallen in battle.{S}
 I do not have time for this.{S}
 Just give her the letter.{S}
 I am so sure I am the one who has to do this.{S}
 Get over it.{S}
 This letter says that your husband has died.{S}
 The man you love has died.{S}
 It seems you could have chosen better.{S}
 This is among the hardest things I have had to say.{S}
 Would someone like to handle this for me?{S}
 We finally meet.{S}
 He disagrees with my belief that we can make our way without such back-room dealing.{S}
 We can, instead, work with honor and integrity.{S}
 I have wrestled with my own emotions about my son for some time, in fear that I may have to turn a blade on him myself.{S}
 But I cannot bring myself to do it.{S}
 Taoran has killed his opponents and bullied my men.{S}
 It has to stop.{S}
 As much as I appreciate your help, I cannot see you after the deed is done.{S}
 You should find him there.{S}
 Evil thoughts make me thirsty for ale.{S}
 I have enjoyed working with you.{S}
 Let us see to our problem ourselves.{S}
 I could take care of him for you.{S}
 Consider it done.{S}
 I do not want to be involved in this.{S}
 The notes of Apprentice Gant have revealed an ancient ritual in the Circle tower.{S}
 It begins in the Great Hall Common Room, although Gant was apparently unable to complete his own attempt.{S}
 Do you have business with me?{S}
 Did he tell you about honor and integrity?{S}
 Since I put my plans in place, this guild has blossomed.{S}
 Take pride, my friend.{S}
 Let us see about tracking the old man down.{S}
 Do we need to do this?{S}
 You have returned!{S}
 Do we have business?{S}
 You have a point.{S}
 You have to die.{S}
 I do not want to be a part of this.{S}
 Makes me sick.{S}
 You find a note in a book.{S}
 You find a note in the rubble.{S}
 All right... let me take a look.{S}
 I suppose my father got to you.{S}
 Did he tell you about honor and integrity?{S}
 If Cailan had done it justice, I might have respected him.{S}
 I do not know what to say about a man who leaves such a blade behind.{S}
 That is a sexy sword and I must have it.{S}
 A fancy trinket, and the last to hold it is dead.{S}
 I had hoped a return to Ostagar would be cause for celebration.{S}
 How have we had such trouble gaining allies?{S}
 Ostagar, where the king was humbled and the land taken by darkspawn.{S}
 If you could not hold it, was it ever yours?{S}
 I have never been a big "get between the armies" kind of guy.{S}
 Yeah, looking a little worse than the surface usually does.{S}
 My packs are light, but I have a tome of strange origin: The Deus vi Eternus!{S}
 I have no idea what you are talking about, and neither do these large men carrying swords.{S}
 I have five copies.{S}
 Did you sell a few copies in the Circle Tower?{S}
 Someone named Beyha Joam took advantage of their egos and likely made a tidy profit.{S}
 Keep an eye out for him.{S}
 You had a first and rather final meeting with the profiteering forger Beyha Joam.{S}
 You find a page from the senior enchanter's journal.{S}
 Born of arrogance by some powerful idiot who did not keep his thoughts to himself.{S}
 Because just thinking about the Fade sets my head spinning.{S}
 Yes, I have been close enough to death from real monsters, now we have got to worry about imaginary ones?{S}
 So a big mage lets his mind wander and you get that, huh?{S}
 Yeah, well, on behalf of the dwarves, keep your magic.{S}
 It was always unlikely that we were the first to bring magic to its halls.{S}
 The precious Circle, not even the first to touch the Fade in their own tower.{S}
 Mages from before the Circle, and before the Chantry held them in check.{S}
 More knowledge has fallen into cracks here than some have ever known.{S}
 The chaos we have seen becomes more understandable from a people who can not keep their own history.{S}
 So mages do not keep up on history.{S}
 I would not read all these books either.{S}
 He touched something beyond the veil and was not prepared.{S}
 Does not read like we will be finding our fair apprentice in one piece.{S}
 I do not think this story has a happy ending for our young taker of notes.{S}
 Reads like the lad got in over his head.{S}
 Thought I wasn't paying attention.{S}
 Bring twenty health poultices to the Blackstone Irregulars.{S}
 You have twenty health poultices.{S}
 Bring them to the Blackstone Irregulars for a reward.{S}
 You took twenty health poultices to the Blackstone Irregulars.{S}
 You have delivered the letters of conscription to all three conscripts.{S}
 Were facing work coming in from two fronts and everyone must contribute.{S}
 The Irregulars are prepared to pay any man or woman who comes forth with a gift of twenty health poultices, no questions asked.{S}
 If we work together, we can stock the Irregulars for war! <attrib>--Raelnor</attrib> <summary>A letter of conscription.</summary>{S}
 You are receiving this letter because you or someone else placed your name on an Article of Conscription, thereby pledging your life to the Blackstone Irregulars.{S}
 With war looming on all fronts, the Irregulars must build their numbers.{S}
 We are forced to call upon those who have sworn their assistance to make good on those oaths.{S}
 While you may return to them, you must prepare them for the possibility that this will be your last day together.{S}
 There are a number of people who pledged to aid the Blackstone Irregulars in times of need.{S}
 Here you will find three letters of conscription.{S}
 Should any of these people refuse, do what you must to get them to honor their oaths. <emp>Conscripts:</emp>{S}
 In facing unrelenting enemies such as the darkspawn, we require our recruits to understand the use of traps and other such precautions.{S}
 In the interest of training our recruits, we beg of you to gift the Irregulars with ten spring traps of whatever quality you can find.{S}
 While we will be grateful for your help, the true reward will be seeing to it that these new recruits know how to protect themselves and others. <attrib>--Raelnor</attrib>{S}
 Collect ten spring traps and bring them to the Blackstone Irregulars.{S}
 Bring them to the Blackstone Irregulars for a reward.{S}
 You gave the Blackstone Irregulars ten spring traps for use in training their recruits.{S}
 The Blackstone Irregulars are growing, and it comes to us to take stock of the quality of our new recruits.{S}
 To this end, we thought we might sponsor a bit of friendly competition.{S}
 You will be given the names and locations of four other recruits whose quality has yet to be tested.{S}
 Do not fear the attention this might arouse, as we will ensure that you will enter and leave unmolested.{S}
 Those who impress us will find their available jobs getting more and more dangerous and lucrative.{S}

 Seek you vengeance or reward?{S}
 You are free, creature.{S}
 No deals with spirits.{S}
 A fight you want, a fight you shall have!{S}
 You have found the grisly remains of some kind of Fade beast, one that may have intentionally dismembered itself.{S}
 Comparing the notes suggests the carving was done in the Deep Roads, near Caridin's Cross.{S}
 You restored the Fade beast and allowed it to roam free.{S}
 You restored the Fade beast and cut it down, ending its charade.{S}
 The Irregulars require a trusted agent to track down and deal with deserters.{S}
 Do this, and you will be rewarded.{S}
 These deserters took with them valuable supplies crucial to the Irregulars' future as a supplier of martial services.{S}
 Deal with these wastes of space as you see fit, and bring the supplies back as proof that the problem has been dealt with.{S}
 Use your own discretion.{S}
 You will likely find them in the following locations:{S}
 Find the deserters and deal with them as you see fit.{S}
 You will likely find them in the following locations:{S}
 You found and dealt with the deserters.{S}
 The deserters have been dealt with and the Blackstone Irregulars have their stolen supplies.{S}
 I have a task that requires some tact and discretion, and I think you are perfect for the job.{S}
 For that work to continue, however, we have ensure that people are looking out for our interests.{S}
 To that end, I ask you to make a trip to Denerim and pass on our appreciation to certain individuals.{S}
 Return when you are done, and I will see that you are rewarded.{S}
 You delivered the Notices of Appreciation to five hooded couriers in Denerim, guaranteeing the Irregulars' continued existence.{S}
 Bet a sword would take care of it.{S}
 Does not matter, we can still follow directions.{S}

 Hunters did not kill it.{S}
 It allowed this?{S}
 Keep the pieces apart, I guess.{S}
 The heart, separate, keeps life.{S}
 It is always a sad duty to report the deaths of those who have died in the service of the guild.{S}
 With this letter, you will find the names of four women recently widowed and letters giving condolences for the loss of their husbands.{S}
 All four men were killed doing the work of the Irregulars, and we mourn the deaths of all who die in service to our ideals.{S}
 Please handle this task with the discretion and care that I am confident you possess in spades.{S}
 You have delivered the condolences.{S}
 Rest assured that we will take vengeance on those responsible for his death.{S}
 Sadly, we continue to lose important and great men to the darkspawn and the bandits that plague our land.{S}
 Recently I learned of the fates of three of our finest couriers, and while the news of their deaths saddened me, it was made the worse for the loss of the messages they carried.{S}
 Warden, I ask you now to find these poor, departed men and retrieve for me the sealed messages I sent with them.{S}
 They were all sent to Ostagar in hopes of finding scattered Irregulars there.{S}
 Find the three lost messengers and retrieve their Sealed Orders for the Blackstone Irregulars.{S}
 You found the three lost messengers.{S}
 Bring the Sealed Orders to the Blackstone Irregulars for a reward.{S}
 You found the three lost messengers and returned their Sealed Orders to the Irregulars.{S}
 The time has come to see this guild under new leadership.{S}
 My father has led the Irregulars through some tough times, but it is clear that his judgment is faulty from age, and it is time for new blood to head up the guild.{S}
 This was a difficult decision for me to come to, and I fear that he will not give up his position peacefully.{S}
 You will find him in Denerim, in the Market District, likely surrounded by his sycophants.{S}
 Do whatever you deem necessary to convince him that his son's leadership is the best chance for this guild to thrive in these times.{S}
 The guild backs this mission, my friend, as do many of our friends in Denerim.{S}
 Let concerns of dissent fade from your mind.{S}
 This is the right thing to do.{S}
 Find Raelnor and kill him, cementing Taorans leadership of the Blackstone Irregulars.{S}
 You have made sure that Taoran can take over the Blackstone Irregulars unopposed.{S}
 Given the choice between killing the honorable Raelnor or his devious son, Taoran, you chose to walk away.{S}
 You spoke to Raelnor and agreed that the best thing to do would be to kill his son, Taoran.{S}
 On your travels, keep an eye out for Taoran, kill him, and return to the Irregulars for a reward.{S}
 Thanks to you, the Blackstone Irregulars have a new leader: Taoran, the ambitious son of the guild's former leader, Raelnor.{S}
 Your deeds have spread since the tragedy of Ostagar, and I find myself in need of one such as you.{S}
 The Irregulars have come on hard times since the war with Orlais, but I have fought to improve their reputation.{S}
 Gone are the days of my father's shady deals with unscrupulous nobles in Denerim!{S}
 No, I have trained a guild filled with honorable men ready to fight for Ferelden, and I am proud to say that I have seen your own Grey Wardens as a sort of model.{S}
 Should you be willing, please find letters in this box and others like it all over the land, and carry out the request therein.{S}
 For this matter, consider requests from my son as if they came from myself.{S}
 And thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, whether you choose to assist us or not.{S}
 You are doing the Maker's work, Warden, and I am honored to work with you. <attrib>--Raelnor</attrib> <desc>This letter is marked with the seal of the Blackstone Irregulars.</desc>{S}

 You did not inform Bann Sighard about his son's imprisonment.{S}
 You did not give Irminric's signet ring to his sister.{S}
 A letter informing the addressee that he swore an oath to aid the Blackstone Irregulars in times of need.{S}
 A letter from Raelnor Hawkwind giving his condolences for the deaths of the fallen men of the Irregulars.{S}
 I did not mean to kill him.{S}
 Can you make this go away?{S}
 I could have handled it.{S}
 Thanks, I... think I need to go hide somewhere.{S}
 Yeah, they got to learn not to mess with me... us... right?{S}
 I will not take the blame for this one.{S}
 This was bad from the start.{S}
 No way he was here to deal.{S}
 D requires swift action.{S}
 I have trouble.{S}
 A few of my more excitable young associates got a little nervous during a couple of delicate handovers.{S}
 Suffice to say, a little mess needs attention.{S}
 Life is normally cheap, but if word of this gets out, there will be consequences.{S}
 My men are under close watch, so I would be most grateful for someone willing to take care of this.{S}
 Deals went bad in the market, the warehouse, and the Pearl.{S}
 Get rid of the bodies by dumping them somewhere discrete in the market.{S}
 You made the corpses disappear.{S}
 You made a mess disappear for unnamed but grateful parties.{S}
 We do not like trespassers.{S}

 Such depravity I have never been forced to suffer!{S}
 I hope you will forgive me and not take it upon yourself to find your own determined way in this world.{S}
 Your ministrations, while well intentioned, hold no promise.{S}
 Do not despair, for it is not you, it is of me.{S}
 I require an interval to acquaint myself with the personage you awakened.{S}
 Join me in a purity that will last the ages, when the brothers mark the Chant of Light anew.{S}
 "R" has a small request.{S}
 It is always useful to have a big name in your pocket, and there is nothing better than snagging them with their knickers down.{S}
 If, in travels wide, someone were to come across notes between illicit lovers, I have certain specialists who can make the most of the texts.{S}
 Deliver to the bartender, and an investment towards future manipulation will be handsomely paid.{S}
 As you travel, keep an eye out for love letters in noble and wealthy homes.{S}
 Bring twelve of them to the well-connected bartender.{S}
 You have found twelve love letters.{S}
 He will have many wealthy people in his pocket because of this.{S}
 The last will and testament of a man named Rigby.{S}
 Bhelen's men have unleashed deepstalkers!{S}
 Of course we will never find a direct link.{S}
 I swear I did not tell them anything!{S}
 I just took the sovereigns!{S}
 Spent all the coin preparing, so I ain't dying over it!{S}
 My boss says you have been hired to track him.{S}
 I say you are done.{S}
 Get them!{S}
 Time to teach you about letting dogs lie.{S}
 Fine, let us get to it.{S}
 A small leather pouch containing ash ostensibly taken from cremated remains.{S}
 It... it is better for him, to have it end.{S}
 His name was Tamlen.{S}
 Golden Handle{S}
 A long cylinder made of silver and engraved with elven runes.{S}
 What can I do for you?{S}
 I should have listened to my wife.{S}
 "Do not sign that paper," she said.{S}
 "They might pay you a few sovereigns now, but they will be back."{S}
 I have a letter for you from the Blackstone Irregulars.{S}
 They had better be paying well.{S}
 Might prove useful, that.{S}
 Nothing is yours by mistake if you make good use of it.{S}
 This may serve us well.{S}
 Well worth paying attention to that, hmm?{S}
 This land holds a great deal of hidden importance.{S}
 No sense letting something like that sit about.{S}
 Could benefit us no end.{S}
 Never let such opportunity fall at the wayside, Grey Warden.{S}
 Well, you have an eye for things of hidden importance.{S}
 Never let something like that slip by, I always say.{S}
 Of key importance to someone, I have no doubt.{S}
 Of interest to someone, I have no doubt.{S}
 Got to be worth a look at least.{S}
 Never let opportunity slip by.{S}
 You were meant to find that.{S}
 Every advantage must be sought, and here is somewhere to start.{S}
 I sought every advantage.{S}
 You should do the same when such things present themselves.{S}
 I am sure you have your own business to attend to.{S}
 Do not care who or what you think you are, nobody fires arrows into my employers home and gets away with it!{S}
 Right, you have made some important enemies with your little arrows.{S}
 "D" requires a message be sent.{S}
 I have my allies, despite my dislike of appeasement and hand-holding.{S}
 In fact, several are prepared to come to Denerim and assist in finding some less than loyal tongue-waggers.{S}
 I need someone to enter the wood and fire a message arrow to signal safe passage.{S}
 I would send one of my own people but circumstance has caused me to suffer a shortage of trustworthy associates.{S}
 There will be good gold paid for this service.{S}
 I recommend only the skilled take up the task.{S}
 Go to the location marked in the Brecilian Forest and use a bow to fire a message arrow across the treetops.{S}
 Threw your lot in with that cur, did you?{S}
 Let him try to take leadership!{S}
 I heard you have some damning evidence.{S}
 Well, this does it for him next time he crosses a guard's path.{S}
 Well, this does him in for sure.{S}
 Of course, we have got to find him first.{S}
 I must be doing my job well.{S}
 I did not sanction this, regardless.{S}
 My apologies for making assumptions.{S}
 I suppose you are here to threaten me, and prove what everyone already knows.{S}
 You are not prepared for what I could do.{S}
 I do not make threats.{S}
 I... have not let myself consider them, but you are very different in person.{S}
 You will have a fair say.{S}
 I did not expect you to be so... convincing.{S}
 I will make no more accusations.{S}
 I have taken precautions to ensure my safety, and that my work goes on.{S}
 Maybe there is doubt about what that Warden did.{S}
 Back when Arl Eamon told me I was being sent to the Chantry, I took my mother's amulet... the only thing I ever had of hers... and shattered it against the wall, I was so angry.{S}
 So he must have found it, and had it repaired?{S}
 Why would he do that?{S}
 Anyhow, let us go.{S}
 It looks a lot like one I used to have, a long time ago.{S}
 I do not know how to express my gratitude.{S}
 This means a great deal to me.{S}
 At least I have his shield, something to remember him by.{S}
 Let us go.{S}
 We have work to do.{S}
 That amulet you found... it was the only thing I had of my mother's.{S}
 I do not know how you knew I was missing my homeland, but this does the trick nicely.{S}
 My mother was Dalish and had a pair very similar to these.{S}
 We were not allowed such things, of course, and eventually they were found and taken.{S}
 I am thankful you found a pair so much like them.{S}
 I snuck up behind her and stole a hand mirror from the carriage, a mirror very like the one you gave me.{S}
 But you have it back, now.{S}
 "D" has need for assistance.{S}
 There are those who seek to impugn upon my good reputation.{S}
 Certain aspects of business may have required unpalatable acts, but these former associates were just as much a part of them as I was.{S}
 These loose tongues need heads to match.{S}
 I need someone who is free to travel, and knows what to do when traitors are found.{S}
 Keep an eye out for the three false witnesses accusing "D."{S}
 Skinny Frank has a safe house near Lake Calenhad, Cam of Redside routinely does in stores in Denerim, and Brian, lowly Brian, was seeking sanctuary with the Dwarves of Orzammar.{S}
 This book has a particular mustiness that derives not from old paper but from a decomposing corpse.{S}
 The troubles of the new blood seem to find me.{S}
 I have ruffled some feathers with my alternative tactics and certain people have had me blacklisted by my primary suppliers.{S}
 So I put this out there to those enterprising friends who want an ally, and perhaps a little coin.{S}
 Fifteen toxin extract samples will be more than enough to ensure I can continue building support.{S}
 You delivered toxin extract samples for "K" and his future negotiation needs.{S}
 Seems some people just can not play fair.{S}
 Make changes to benefit everyone and all you get are glares from the old men.{S}
 No more toys for me, it seems, unless an enterprising friend cares to make a strategic donation, something nondescript that can be moved by small vendors.{S}
 Let us say ten pieces.{S}
 Bring ten pieces of garnet to the well-connected bartender in the Gnawed Noble in Denerim for "K."{S}
 What with guards and suspicious old men watching my every move, how's a man supposed to keep up with his weave of influence and get his associates their deserved rewards?{S}
 If someone were to deliver the spoils of my previous deals, I would be certain to compensate them with a fair amount of coin.{S}
 It is a bit of travel, but one must keep people updated on their debts owed and earned.{S}
 If you are satisfied with the job you have done, return to the well-connected bartender in the Gnawed Noble in Denerim for your reward.{S}
 You made the dead drops for "K," a task slightly more lethal than he suggested.{S}
 I am sick of journeymen changing things just to make their name.{S}
 And I am tired of trying to make friends.{S}
 It is time to set an example.{S}
 No whispers, no setting plots in motion.{S}
 In fact, I will spread the word and his lieutenants will find <emp>you</emp>.{S}
 You can take it.{S}
 Find and kill "K."{S}
 His lieutenant will probably ambush you in your travels, so after that, finding "K" should be easy.{S}
 I need some time to myself.{S}
 I do not know what to think.{S}

 Do you accept the gift that I offer?{S}
 That is a fine piece, blacksmith, and I would be honored to wear it into battle--er... at the Warden's discretion, of course.{S}
 You are a nasty piece of work, hiding out here while the whole sodding town burns.{S}
 No, do not say that.{S}
 Was that the right thing to do?{S}
 Brothers and sisters, word has arrived of an imminent conflict.{S}
 Teyrn Loghain's honored forces continue to root out threats to our nation, and their actions deserve support from the common people.{S}
 Provide whatever comfort you feel they deserve, and Ferelden will be the stronger for it.{S}
 Treat these brave soldiers as you would treat Loghain himself and the spiritual rewards will be generous. <attrib>--Brother Nigil</attrib>{S}
 The Chantry has unwittingly provided an opportunity to disrupt the plans of the traitorous Loghain.{S}
 You have disrupted Loghain's forces and no doubt hampered his plans.{S}
 Unfortunate news has arrived that the darkspawn have extended their incursion into areas previously thought safe for travel.{S}
 A runner from a border caravan brings word that they unknowingly passed into infested territory and were being tracked by several unseen creatures.{S}
 He was dispatched to seek help, and does not know the fate of his fellows, or the viability of the trade route.{S}
 The maleficarum Jowan has slipped free of custody and is reported to be somewhere in the region.{S}
 You have assured Bism of the Chantry that Jowan is no longer a threat.{S}
 Sister Rana has heard reports of an imminent tragedy.{S}
 A runner has brought me dire news of a group of refugees fleeing the darkspawn.{S}
 They have been cornered in unfamiliar ground, fighting for their lives.{S}
 If someone of skill has the ability to deliver these people, I can only offer the honest gratitude of myself and of the Chantry.{S}
 Hopefully that will be enough for the rare person we need.{S}
 The darkspawn incursions in the south have made for difficult communication, even through official means.{S}
 The relatives of the conscripts in Company Easthill have beseeched me to deliver word of their brothers and sons.{S}
 I have no means to do so, but can point a traveler of stout heart in the proper direction of their recent engagement.{S}
 To any who are able to find their loved ones, I offer what little silver they have been able to entrust to the board, as well as the sincerest gratitude of the Chantry.{S}
 You found the conscripts of Company Easthill, dead to a man.{S}
 How did you find this?{S}
 It was made for my hand alone, given to me on the day I took my place in the Beresaad.{S}
 I thought I had lost it.{S}
 I do not know any words in your language for this.{S}
 I knew what I had done.{S}
 There is no restitution I can make to the dead.{S}
 There is no use dwelling on this now.{S}
 We keep the darkspawn waiting.{S}
 I gave my word to follow you into battle.{S}
 I just found it lying around.{S}
 You can make up for it.{S}
 You can not just take people from their homes and... and sell them!{S}
 Do not worry.{S}
 I will get over it quickly.{S}
 Do not get all mushy on me now.{S}
 We are keeping the darkspawn waiting.{S}
 I have no choice.{S}
 You have some kind of problem?{S}
 I am here to bring you in for desertion.{S}
 Taoran must have sent you.{S}
 Find the remaining deserters and deal with them as you see fit.{S}
 You will likely find them in the following locations:{S}
 I understand you must appear to act, but I will not pay.{S}
 Are we done with this place?{S}
 If there is anything you need to do in this village, I say do it now.{S}
 Something is stalking the wilds, killing the good merchants who support our towns in these difficult times.{S}
 One would assume that this is the reason the Chantry employs the use of the templars, but they are unmindful of a simple brother's plea.{S}
 I understand they have the darkspawn and the constant threat of uncontrolled magic to contend with, but are they not meant to protect the common people?{S}
 Whatever the source of this thing, whatever unconscionable force has unleashed it, someone must make the roads safe again.{S}
 If anyone will stand, I will provide of my own wealth as compensation.{S}
 Be on the lookout while traveling and it may find you.{S}
 Return to the Chantry and report that the danger has passed.{S}
 I do not like the sound of this.{S}
 What makes you think you can trust <emp>me</emp>?{S}
 I will have you thrown in prison!{S}
 I will not have Bhelen incite a riot!{S}
 They need to know as soon as possible.{S}
 Let us go while a new king can still be of use to me.{S}
 The unfortunate victim of a shady deal gone wrong.{S}
 Find and activate the rest of the mystical sites of power, located in the Brecilian Forest, the Deep Roads, Denerim, and the Circle Tower.{S}
 "K" needs someone willing to stoop to the level of his detractors.{S}
 "D" will not make room.{S}
 He is making moves against me, and I need to get there first.{S}
 I have made a lot of friends, something "D" has never found valuable, and they are not your typical suspects.{S}
 I need someone who can move freely to do this and confirm the action with our Denerim guard contact.{S}
 I will be most grateful and generous, but you should know that it is certain to make you an enemy of "D."{S}
 Talk to the following people and give them "K's" secret signal.{S}
 You have ensured "D" will be arrested.{S}
 He will probably try to take revenge before they get him, so be on your guard when traveling around Denerim.{S}
 You have killed "D's" lieutenant, revealing the location of his hideout on your world map.{S}
 Take the fight to him.{S}
 Get ready for a whole bunch of accusations about "D."{S}
 You resolved the infighting among Denerim's rogues, giving young blood "K" new authority.{S}
 Abomination <desc>This is the spot where "D's" message needs to be sent.</desc> <desc>The message has been sent.{S}
 It has not gone unnoticed.</desc> <act>Fire an arrow over the trees.</act> <act>Leave until you have a bow equipped and ready.</act> <act>Do nothing.</act>{S}
 It is not right that they do this, the templars.{S}
 I will succeed, right or not. <desc>He frowns and returns to his work.</desc> <desc>He returns the signal as expected, and then gestures again to his stock.</desc>{S}
 And several more for apparent emphasis.</desc> <act>Give "K's" wink and nod.</act> Understand?{S}
 Killing "K's" lieutenant has pointed the direction to the man himself, currently cornered in Denerim.{S}
 There is no sense in taking any gifts to Knight-Commander Harrith now. <desc>He glances around for prying eyes, then produces a few notes on behalf of "interested parties".</desc> <desc>He nods discretely, and makes note of the recognition you are owed.</desc>{S}
 Anyone need help?{S}
 I have finished a favor for one of your "interested parties".{S}
 By giving the lyrium potions as a gift to Knight-Commander Harrith, you cemented the collective's relationship with the morally flexible templars.{S}
 Carrying potions to Knight-Commander Tavish would serve nothing.{S}
 You gave the Bundled Testimony to Knight-Commander Harrith, who quickly buried the evidence, making it impossible to deliver it to anyone else.{S}
 You gave the Bundled Testimony to Knight-Commander Tavish rather than to Knight-Commander Harrith as you were asked.{S}
 You feel certain your actions will have dire consequences for the mages' collective.{S}
 "K" will not be needing the toxin extract samples now that he is dead.{S}
 "K" will not be needing the gems now that he is dead. <act>Nod and leave.</act>{S}
 He has opted to find other venues for his favors.{S}
 Before I forget, there is one last part to your Joining.{S}
 We take some of that blood and put it in a pendant.{S}
 Something to remind us... of those who did not make it this far.{S}
 For an age we have protected the lands of men...{S}
 The best must take up our banner...{S}
 Join us.{S}
 Have you seen me?{S}
 Let us hit the Deep Roads and find her.{S}
 I have never felt this way before.{S}
 It is dangerous to be out in the open like this.{S}
 I have... helped a few other people.{S}
 It never seemed equal to its name, to me.{S}
 That is where the test will take place.{S}
 Do not go near it unless you are ready to fight. <desc>Sigh</desc> It is always the same.{S}
 Allow me to welcome you to the Fade.{S}
 I do not remember anything from... before.{S}
 The templars kill you if you take too long, you see.{S}
 They figure you failed, and they do not want something getting out.{S}
 That is what they did to me, I think.{S}
 I have no body to reclaim.{S}
 And you do not have much time before you end up the same.{S}
 You have to face the creature, a demon, and resist it, if you can.{S}
 My chance was long ago, but you... you may have a way out.{S}
 I do not remember.{S}
 I do not know how long.{S}
 That has been said before.{S}
 But you do not know the danger.{S}
 Do not waste time with that talk.{S}
 You do not want to end up like... this.{S}
 I think I used to be like you... before.{S}
 I think I used to be like you... before.{S}
 You look like that because you <emp>think</emp> you do!{S}
 But they keep doing it, do not they?{S}
 We get treated like rabid dogs, and we let them get away with it!{S}
 So have many others before you.{S}
 There is no need to follow me.{S}
 How have you survived here so long?{S}
 Is there no way I can help you get out of here?{S}
 What do you know about the Fade?{S}
 Let us keep moving.{S}
 Not your real name, I take it?{S}
 You took the Harrowing?{S}
 What am I supposed to do?{S}
 I do not understand why this test is so feared.{S}
 How long do I have, exactly?{S}
 You stay there long enough, and the shadows begin to creep inside of you.{S}
 I... do not know how long it is been.{S}
 And they do not just use the Harrowing.{S}
 True mages like you know that the power you hold is a gateway to greater things.{S}
 You do not want to lose yourself here.{S}
 I should have done a lot of things.{S}
 You will find out for yourself, soon enough.{S}
 They have no right to treat true mages this way!{S}
 If they gave you the chance.{S}
 There are people who do not go to the Circle of Magi, you know.{S}
 Who do not obey the templars.{S}
 They are hunted, but at least they are free.{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I do not have a body waiting for me.{S}
 It is not something I try to think about.{S}
 Do you... want to die?{S}
 You should have fought harder.{S}
 You are getting a little crazy, Mouse.{S}
 Why make us face a spirit or demon for the Harrowing?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 I have no example to compare myself against.{S}
 Only people like you, taking the Harrowing.{S}
 I do not want to talk about it any more.{S}
 Let us just... get you out of here.{S}
 But how many mages have met their fate in tests like this over the centuries?{S}
 Do not those lives matter as well?{S}
 I do not really know.{S}
 They do not want you prepared.{S}
 If you can resist it when forced like this, you can do it any time.{S}
 You have choices... between joining and suffering various deaths of body or spirit.{S}
 I... do not remember.{S}
 I do not think everyone who takes the Harrowing comes here, to this place in the Fade.{S}
 Or maybe they do, and I have forgotten.{S}
 Think of it this way: Everything here is a matter of will, right?{S}
 The templars will take care of that.{S}
 It will probably come back there later, if it does not find you first.{S}
 I do not know if it is still there or not.{S}
 You know that, do not you?{S}
 The templars in the tower would give them a meal for certain.{S}
 Normally there are doorways out, portals, but I think the mages have sealed them.{S}
 I do not know how long that lasts.{S}
 That takes a long time.{S}
 If you look around, I will tell you if we are getting close.{S}
 You should probably find some help before charging after the demon.{S}
 They teach that abominations are extremely dangerous.{S}
 Why do not they prepare us better for this fight?{S}
 Have you seen anyone defeat a demon before?{S}
 How does one resist being possessed?{S}
 Where do I find the demon?{S}
 How do I get out of here?{S}
 Is it possible to change, like you do?{S}
 You did it.{S}
 You actually did it!{S}
 You made me believe in you.{S}
 The others, they never had a chance.{S}
 The templars set them up to fail, like they tried with you.{S}
 What were their names?{S}
 A coward could not have endured as I have.{S}
 The time I have spent waiting for... for some possibility of release.{S}
 The rogue leader "D" can be found here.{S}
 The rogue leader "K" can be found here.{S}
 Have you not told it of our... arrangement, Mouse?{S}
 We do not have an arrangement!{S}
 No, I do not want any more of it!{S}
 And after all those wonderful meals we have shared?{S}
 Now suddenly the mouse has changed the rules?{S}
 And soon I will not have to hide!{S}
 I do not need to bargain with you!{S}
 I do not need to bargain with you now!{S}
 They are welcome to try.{S}
 So this creature is your offering, Mouse?{S}
 I am not offering you anything!{S}
 I do not have to help you anymore!{S}
 Then come and get me, if you can.{S}
 Send word we have won.{S}
 Fortifications should be built around the camp.{S}
 Can not get a bloody night's rest.{S}
 It is done.{S}
 Let us move on.{S}
 Cutthroat too, so we got to be careful.{S}
 I am taking my half topside so I can get a good price.{S}
 It is got one of Pique's locks on it.{S}
 Standard drill, you need the three pieces of junk from our common chests to even try to open it.{S}
 She set them up "high/low" because you have got the best eye for value in this dig.{S}
 Take <emp>only</emp> the cheapest looking piece in each chest, and you will be able to open the stash box.{S}
 You take the right one, or you do not.{S}
 And if you do not, hope you like having a limp.{S}
 Take the cheapest item in each of Jammer, Kanky, and Pique's common chests to access Jammer's stash box.{S}
 Take <emp>only</emp> the cheapest from each, or risk grievous injury.{S}
 Wade might have had enough time to make the armor now. <emp>Acquire drake scales for drake scale armor</emp>{S}
 Wade might have had enough time to make the new armor now.{S}
 A prop blade that gives the appearance of quality{S}
 A prop blade that gives the appearance of quality.{S}
 A costume ring that appears to be made of an expensive material.{S}
 This key looks exactly like the sort used for unlocking things.{S}
 I do not remember their names.{S}
 I do not even remember my own name.{S}
 It is the Fade, and the templars killing me, like they tried with you.{S}
 Keep your wits about you, mage.{S}
 True tests <emp>never</emp> end.{S}
 I regret my part in it, but you have shown me that there is hope.{S}
 I am what the Fade has made me.{S}
 I had no hope.{S}
 You have shown me other possibilities.{S}
 There may be a way for me to leave here, to get a foothold outside.{S}
 You just need to want to let me in.{S}
 So what is it that you think you can get from me?{S}
 I am starting to think the other demon wasn't my test.{S}
 Let you in?{S}
 I will find mages away from the templars.{S}
 We will get you out.{S}
 The time has come... for us to march.{S}
 While the reports I have heard no doubt suffer from exaggeration, the observed creatures assaulting Redcliffe trouble me greatly.{S}
 If we are to properly combat these unnatural agents and prevent their reoccurrence, the mages bound to my service will require carefully prepared samples of flesh for study.{S}
 If there are skilled warriors present, I would have them gather samples from any remaining creatures as close to the presumed source as possible.{S}
 If the request is exceeded, gold will be added, but the offer is limited.{S}
 You have found nine samples of corpse gall for the Chantry.{S}
 You have found 18 samples of corpse gall for the Chantry.{S}
 You brought the Chantry an adequate number of corpse gall samples.{S}
 You brought the Chantry more than enough of the corpse gall samples, and were rewarded appropriately.{S}
 When you find the right combination, it just... feels right.{S}
 How did you know how to do that?{S}
 Dragon Scale Armor <emp>Find a use for the dragon scale</emp>{S}
 You found a dragon's scale.{S}
 Perhaps a master armor smith could do something with this.{S}
 Master Wade made a set of medium armor out of the dragon scale you found.{S}
 Master Wade made a superior set of medium armor out of the dragon scale you found.{S}
 Master Wade made a set of heavy armor out of the dragon scale you found.{S}
 Master Wade made a superior set of heavy armor out of the dragon scale you found.{S}
 Master Wade made a set of massive armor out of the dragon scale you found.{S}
 Master Wade made a superior set of massive armor out of the dragon scale you found.{S}
 You have any of your dad's wares for sale?{S}
 You abandoned the village of Redcliffe to its fate.{S}
 You do not know what became of Kaitlyn and Bevin, and perhaps you will never find out.{S}
 Andraste's Ashes were able to restore Arl Eamon to health, and he has been told of the civil war that is brewing in Ferelden.{S}
 The arl plans to call the Landsmeet, and has begun sending word to his allies.{S}
 You need more men, and the Grey Warden treaties you hold give you the authority to command the various races of Thedas to fight with you.{S}
 Loghain has been executed for his crimes.{S}
 Anora will rule as queen, with you by her side as her prince-consort.{S}
 Loghain has been executed for his crimes.{S}
 Roadside Stop <emp>Find the messenger</emp>{S}
 You have secured the city gates by killing the darkspawn that had amassed there.{S}
 You should send a messenger to Riordan to inform him of the situation. <emp>Find the messenger</emp>{S}
 The messenger has been sent.{S}
 You gave the food you obtained to the hungry prisoner. <summary>By order of Emer Thorogood.</summary>{S}
 They will know it is coming, and probably abandon the poor sap of a messenger, but even in that, our message will be sent with an authority theirs cannot have. <attrib>--By order of Emer Thorogood</attrib>{S}
 A scribe in Denerim is making a nuisance of himself by distributing lies about the Grey Wardens and your actions.{S}
 Find him and deal with him.{S}

 A poster suggested I would find a meeting of friends here.{S}
 The ashes of Andraste have restored Arl Eamon, and he has promised you aid against Loghain.{S}
 He is making preparations for the Landsmeet, where Ferelden will choose a ruler to take the place of the late King Cailan.{S}
 In the meantime, you are to make use of the Grey Warden treaties to gather an army.{S}
 When you are ready, you will travel with Arl Eamon to Denerim, where the Landsmeet will be held.{S}
 Arl Eamon has called the Landsmeet and all the nobles have made their way to Denerim.{S}
 You are the only one who can speak out against Loghain and your presence will be required at this important event.{S}
 You do not know me?{S}
 I need some more time.{S}
 So who has the authority to aid me?{S}
 With the ceremonies over, speak to Bhelen in the palace and secure his support against the Blight.{S}
 With the ceremony over, speak to King Harrowmont in the Assembly and secure his support against the Blight.{S}
 You have a better idea?{S}
 Every trick they used to evade pursuit failed.{S}
 Where did you get these?{S}
 I will have the Ministry of Lands begin an investigation into the Gavorns immediately.{S}
 He wanted to know about King Bemot, the last king to rule during a Blight.{S}
 The Gavorn family is a minor one, founded when a daughter of the Forender House married down to a Warrior Caste man.{S}
 Then keep your silence.{S}
 A list of names...{S}
 You bet your hairy arse it is!{S}
 Taken from a tablet in Caridin's fortress, no less!{S}
 I would love to make a copy of this.{S}
 The Shaperate has never had much information on Caridin and his golems, much less proof of this magnitude!{S}
 This is not the first time he is made this plea.{S}
 On what basis would you have me insult the ancestors and overturn two thousand years of tradition?{S}
 Our castes have served us well.{S}
 Wherever this Chantry has spread among humans, it replaced all beliefs preceding it.{S}
 Were we to let these preachers into Orzammar, how long before the ancestors stop hearing the voices praising them?{S}
 I hope I do not come to regret it.{S}
 If you are trying to threaten Orzammar from inside its own walls, you are sadly lacking in any understanding of tactics.{S}
 I hope you will not do anything to challenge the stability of Orzammar.{S}
 A Paragon is a dwarf whose accomplishments change Orzammar so much that the Assembly recognizes they have been born blessed.{S}
 There is one Paragon of this generation: a woman named Branka.{S}
 Or who chose to go to the surface and live by human laws.{S}
 They have no ancestors to guide them and no families to claim them.{S}
 You do not exist.{S}
 There are books about it along these walls if you would read more.{S}
 Where did you find it?{S}
 We would pay a good sum for a new find...{S}
 They sealed the Deep Roads, abandoning everyone still trapped in far-flung settlements.{S}
 How do you know who I am?{S}
 Do you get to vote on the next king?{S}
 But you have a preference for king?{S}
 What do you know about Vartag Gavorn?{S}
 Do you know anything about this "carta?"{S}
 The Chantry cares for widows and orphans.{S}
 Is that who joins the carta?{S}
 Let us go back to my first questions.{S}
 How did you lose your golems?{S}
 I have a few questions.{S}
 I have no more questions.{S}
 You found a textbook of arcane summoning rituals.{S}
 You do not mean to...?{S}
 We all must have an end, Shayle.{S}
 May yours be one of your own choosing.{S}
 How is it that the woman was not able to disable me as she did you, Caridin?{S}
 I do not know.{S}
 Have you been altered?{S}
 I once had a pathetic little mage of a master.{S}
 He... did something to me.{S}
 Perhaps he was bringing forth old memories?{S}
 And caused you to remember the time when... you fought at my side.{S}
 As for your free will... you were always a strong woman, Shayle.{S}
 I do not know what to say.{S}
 Thank you. <desc>Sigh</desc> Do not thank me.{S}
 All of this... this is my doing, my legacy.{S}
 I have what I have sought, here.{S}
 You... know my name?{S}
 Is it you that gave me my name?{S}
 Have you forgotten, then? <desc>Sigh</desc> It has been so long.{S}
 I made you into the golem you are now, Shayle, but before that you were a dwarf... just as I was.{S}
 The finest warrior to serve King Valtor, and the only woman to volunteer.{S}
 I laid you on the Anvil of the Void, here in this very room, and put you into the form you now possess.{S}
 The Anvil of the Void... that is what we seek.{S}
 You remained at my side throughout, and at the end I sent you away out of mercy.{S}
 I... do not remember.{S}
 Do not allow it to fall into unthinking hands again!{S}
 You speak of things I do not remember.{S}
 You say we fought... did you use our control rods to command us to do so?{S}
 Perhaps my apprentices eventually learned to replace the rods, I do not know, but if so, then all they need is the Anvil to make all the slaves they need!{S}
 Whatever I once was, it no longer matters.{S}
 I hope it does not force me to.{S}
 And I cannot allow it to exist.{S}
 You made the Anvil, I take it?{S}
 I am sorry, but the Anvil is needed. <emp>Continue searching for a way into Jarvia's hideout</emp>{S}
 Continue searching Dust Town for her men and the means they use to enter.{S}
 I will enter the Proving, and see why the others withdrew.{S}
 This is for use only.{S}
 The player will never get this.{S}
 Caridin said we must all choose our end.{S}
 Caridin said we must all choose our end.{S}
 I do not think I am done just yet.{S}
 There are answers I may yet find.{S}
 Caridin gave me some, and I have nothing but time to seek the others.{S}
 And thanks to it, I have come to a decision.{S}
 It--<emp>you</emp> have been a fine friend.{S}
 For a flesh creature it--<emp>you</emp> have made a fine friend.{S}
 You are to choose which will be manipulated.</desc>{S}
 Alistair must have greater affection for me.{S}
 Leliana's affection could use a boost.{S}
 Sten needs to be more approving of me.{S}
 Wynne needs more affection for me.{S}
 Zevran should have more affection for me.{S}
 Can not blame me for trying.{S}
 Let us go over your offer.{S}
 They should keep all flesh creatures in confinement, not just the mages.{S}
 I would sooner eat a book than read it.{S}
 This is the fort that we need to ascend, no?{S}
 I could just walk along the lake bottom to reach the tower.{S}
 I take it we are here to see the mages?{S}
 Perhaps we should carve our names into the giant tree?{S}
 The only "wonder" of Thedas is how everything got to be so very brown.{S}
 Perhaps I should eat some and startle the locals?{S}
 Does it think they might have a chisel strong enough to chip my stone?{S}
 Place needs a good dusting.{S}
 I do not understand.{S}
 Do not perish.{S}
 Humans do seem to love leaving their trash lying around everywhere, do not they?{S}
 I assume we do not need to look for werewolf droppings to figure out this is their lair?{S}
 Do not get squished.{S}
 Perhaps it will eat you?{S}
 They make golems in such a place, do they not?{S}
 Do not go near the lava.{S}
 What do they have to prove?{S}
 Such big houses they have.{S}
 Do I remember?{S}
 No, I do not think I have ever been here before.{S}
 So perhaps this place is not so abandoned after all?{S}
 A few repairs and this would make for an excellent bedroom.{S}
 If this place had any <emp>decent</emp> traps, that would be a golem.{S}
 I bet there is an inscription: "I died a long time ago, like every other puny flesh creature."{S}
 Let us keep back from the lava, now!{S}
 My only consolation is that, if that thing swallows me, I will give it indigestion.{S}
 No need for a bridge, then.{S}
 Those ashes better be able to part the ocean, that is all I have to say.{S}
 I suppose we are supposed to work together somehow?{S}
 Looks like someone's been having fun down here.{S}
 Think if we ask nicely they will let us join in?{S}
 Looks as if they have blocked the door, somehow.{S}
 I suppose we will need to find another way down?{S}
 I remember its name, but nothing else.{S}
 Wilhelm found me somewhere down here.{S}
 Take the dwarven woman, for instance.{S}
 I see this is about to get even worse.{S}
 Is it certain we need to be here?{S}
 This cannot end well.{S}
 There is no end to them.{S}
 Let me guess: this ends in tragedy?{S}
 It may want to hold onto that.{S}
 Does it think that might be important?{S}
 You have my apologies and nothing more.{S}
 I do not have the money for whatever your habit is.{S}
 Select the plot flags to set{S}
 395237 : Times have changed in Orzammar, but let us see that discount.{S}
 Let us face it: I will be alive long after it has turned to dust, anyhow.{S}
 Still, things have been so much more interesting since it activated me.{S}
 Shame to end that, really.{S}
 I will take that as "good luck," I guess?{S}
 No need to worry.{S}
 Let us get someone else possessed, shall we?{S}
 Let me crush a few body parts it can not possibly miss.{S}
 Did it tell him not to go insane?{S}
 Because he does not seem to listen well.{S}
 Let me!{S}
 Let me!{S}
 I do not like this one.{S}
 Shale returned to Orzammar not long after the battle in Denerim, fighting in the Proving Grounds and defeating every opponent.{S}
 Pleased, Shale ventured into the Deep Roads to do battle with the darkspawn and was not seen again.{S}
 Shale left Ferelden soon after the battle at Denerim, refusing all offers of reward by the royal court.{S}
 The golem was not seen again... but rumors abounded of an angry dwarven woman in the far north who hunted pigeons with reckless abandon.{S}
 The golem did not indicate a destination, but pigeon populations along the Amaranthine coast have fallen dramatically.{S}
 I do not know if I am interested in more death.{S}
 Shianni has left the alienage for safety. <act>Lie</act> I found his remains.{S}
 I will bring you a twenty-sovereign incentive.{S}
 You found the amulet the beggar girl in the alienage spoke of.{S}
 The trail signs of the Chasind have alerted you to an old cache in the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 You found the old Chasind cache in the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 I have ties.{S}
 I take issue with this!{S}
 More pressing matters have taken you from the Korcari Wilds.{S}
 You found an interesting amulet.{S}
 The drake scale armor is done!{S}
 And it did not take as long as I feared.{S}
 I would not mind working on lord such-and-such's armor today.{S}
 I must prepare.{S}
 Can you hold the darkspawn for now?{S}
 Take me inside.{S}
 You found a seriously injured elven hunter in the forest, smothered him, looted his equipment and left his body for the animals to find.{S}
 You must find and kill a darkspawn general last seen at the market.{S}
 You have killed the darkspawn general at the market.{S}
 The market has been overrun by darkspawn and they are all gone now.{S}
 You must find and kill a darkspawn general last seen at the elven alienage.{S}

 You have angered Cammen and he will have nothing further to do with you.{S}
 I hereby pledge my oath of loyalty to you, until such a time as you choose to release me from it.{S}
 But these are tales yet to be told. <emp>This</emp> tale ended with the death of the archdemon and the end of the Blight before it truly began.{S}
 You found Brother Genitivi.{S}
 He has shown you how to use Eirik's medallion to open the door to the hidden temple where he thinks the Urn of Sacred Ashes might be found.{S}
