I do not think you overreach with such a sentiment, serah. If there are questions you have in need of answering, I will do my utmost to assist.

The verses were ordered removed by order of Divine Renata the First when the Chantry lead an Exalted March against the Dales. An Exalted March is a... religious crusade, essentially. The first predates the Chantry itself, and was when our salvation, the Blessed Andraste, raised an army to fight against the oppression and slavery cast over Thedas by the Tevinter Imperium. The second, against the Dales...

Chantry texts claim many reasons. Escalating tensions, trade negotiators and missionaries met with violence, and the refusal of the Dalish elves to lend aid when the Second Blight swept over our lands - the Blight is another complex matter in needing of some explanation, and I apologise for confusing the matter further. However, the Dalish claim it was no more than persecution, rooted in religion and race.

( She has no love of the Dalish, but this is something beyond all that. This is their roots, their beginnings, and it is the word of a Chantry who she has seen commit great acts of cruelty, now. )
