He wasn't there. He can't read Ser Enpeesee's mind. ] —but the phylacteries have belonged to the Chantry all this time, and they have proven that they can win a war against us without them. Knowing that their abilities and their enchanted cells will leave you as helpless as us might let them compromise and still sleep at night.
[ Which is a shame. Maybe they'd be easier to defeat if they were chronically sleep deprived. ]
As for what would convince them it is not a ruse—I cannot say. They have a great talent for jumping at shadows and blaming maleficar.
