I am from Halamshiral. It is a city of Orlais, the capital city of the Dales, which were the lands given by Andraste to the elven people after their civilisation was destroyed by Tevinter, as reward for their part in her uprising. But no peace with humans last, and the Dales were taken again from the elves.
We aren't a people with claim of anything anymore. The Dalish live in the wild and shun all else, and city elves live within the boundaries given us. We aren't slaves, we're just. Elves.
Perhaps that doesn't make sense. Another rifter, Martel, he says elves don't even exist in his world, except in stories.
