[Wysteria that smacks of demon talk, he has no time for demon talk especially with a mage in the room.]
All information is something the Chantry would gladly hear of but perhaps I should tell you more of the Fade, of spirits and demons. The Canticle of Erudition says the following:
The first of the Maker's children watched across the Veil And grew jealous of the life They could not feel, could not touch. In blackest envy were the demons born.
So it is said that the Maker created the Fade long ago and that it is His first world populated by His First Children who we call spirits, but the spirits could not create. He turned from them as they lacked a soul. They imitated things they had seen. They could not imagine. They could alter their world at will but that was all so He left that world to create Thedas, and between them he put the Veil, though He didn't realise that his First Children could see this new world. They watched. They watched us, the new children of the Maker, and they grew envious of us.
This is why we are concerned. There are places where the Veil grows thin and spirits pass through: they have watched, they have observed, they will be by battlefields and pick up weapons, possessing corpses, and they attack because this is what they've seen. This is before we touch on demons.
[They have reason to be concerned. To be afraid. History has given Thedas and her people every reason to exercise all due caution.]
