I became trapped once through the machinations of a demon, if you wish to know of that I am willing to tell you more of it, 'twas unlike other experiences I have had of it.
[There's the eluvians, however for all that's public about them now, given this topic of discussion she'd rather not. They aren't strictly relevant either.]
Less seeing if they can affect it by their actions, rather that I wonder what so many dwelling here for so long has done, continues to do, and will leave whenever the Inquisition departs from Kirkwall be it when the work is done or should the need for another outpost come about before that. [After all, there still remains the chance they outstay their welcome in Kirkwall before Corypheus meets his end given some amongst them and the growing tensions that seemed poised to boil over before so many departed for the tourney.] A long time ago - this would be back when we dwelt in Skyhold - there were mages who said they struggled with their magic. Now given that we mages native to Thedas draw from the Fade when casting spells and are able to remain conscious when travelling there, that suggests something rather different, though I have seen non-native mages casting spells, so perhaps it varies person to person in how their spells work. Do you have magic that has changed at all that you have noticed upon arrival?

'Tis said the Maker cast the Magisters out of the Golden City and in doing so created the first Darkspawn, or that is how the Chantry teaches it.

[Also the Forgotten Ones, vicious, angry things by the sound of it. But forgotten. So what Dalish outside those in the Tirashan will know the name of any of them?] I...I could see it. A mortal with the willingness to do it. There are those who would position themselves that way [her voice is soft, these aren't things to say much of the time but perhaps she's one who can say them without many reprisals being who - or rather - what she is] to have so many ready to do their bidding, for whatever purpose.
