Who did the writing of this battle? Could it not be that a hand writes it so that there will be a triumph so that the people await it, only to find that in the end some slinking malice is the one to win the day? [These elves of Arda, so resolute about what will be. Admirable sometimes but how little room for the liminal space so sorely needed when dealing in where the borders are less distinct.
Corypheus, after all, was thought imprisoned, Morrigan might say having even been down there in the dark and a filth it took days to scrub from her skin long after it had gone from under her nails, off her boots, the smell aired from her robes. Corypheus who sends his forces against them now as the sky has split itself asunder.]
You sound half a Chantry Mother. [For the first part. What a sight that would be, she'll tell Thranduil over wine one day when life is less pressing for all.] Most here are well-used to there being naught there when they ask for something. The Maker turned his back, Andraste is dead and at his side, dwarves worship the Stone, the Creators are shut away beyond the reach of any, and perhaps 'tis only those who worship spirits that might see one when they ask though when it comes to the Chasind the idea is...looser than with the Avvar. As I understand it. [Start getting into spirits and Chasind beliefs and everything starts to become something far more conceptual on the whole.] The silence here is for the actions of men long dead who spread the first Blight upon Thedas, and all that came after since they were the first Darkspawn. Silence until the whole world sings the Chant. Is that a good reason for silence?
[A semi-genuine question, Morrigan doesn't care for Chantry rhetoric but she does wonder at how others interpret it.]
What of blood in battle? Is there such a difference? Blood is blood, the Veil is weakened by death in all places here and there have been Exalted Marches in the name of the Chantry many a-time.
