And honestly, Kirkwall has such a reputation that it's probably true. "I had thought that most Dalish clans had only three mages if they had that many to begin with, though it seems a great deal of Clan Ashara are represented from hearing the talk - I've spoken with your First and one of your hunters." To find Dalish at all at first had been something of a surprise; one expected some former city elves who had been in the Circles from childhood, others who had come perhaps as servants at first or who had left to seek out something more but so many Dalish had surprised her and the number from a single clan...The Inquisition truly had the scope to change a great deal, if it ever secured the backing.

"Tis the time I first encountered a Dalish clan though as someone else raised far from the reach of the Chantry, there is much they have forgotten that we have likely been taught."
