( A quiet clearing of the throat; one can naturally assume it is a very beautiful clearing of the throat, done by a very beautiful man. )

This matter of the phylacteries for rifters… it seems sensible. If they are such a valuable resource to the Inquisition, the closing of rifts, and so on, being able to find said resource if a rival power were to try and overpower them and abscond with them makes sense, I think. For their own safety, for our own safety. If Corypheus and his forces were, for example, to make an attack on a party closing a rift and kidnap those rifters for nefarious purposes, it would be better for all if we were able to find them as quickly as possible. The phylacteries are an established way of doing just this, no?

By all means, if you wish to see the world end, protest. Even if this is not your world, though, I think we can all agree that you are currently in it. It’s fate is not entirely irrelevant to you.

If any of you ever made a ridiculous bet that a Dalish elf would on day give a lecture at the University of Orlais, you're about to collect a lot of winnings.

[ Ellana sounds pretty amused about it herself. ]

Because I've been invited. For those who don't know, I've written a book on the Sulevin Blade, and the advanced copies are already out. Apparently the elven students there got a hold of it and, well, they'd like me to come talk about it. I've already gotten approval from Skyhold, and they suggested that I could continue my exploration of elven ruins in Orlais afterwards so... [ She pauses to take a breath.] This is it for me in Kirkwall, I'm afraid. I'll be reassigned to Suledin Keep from here on out.

To those who've been my friends from Skyhold to here, or who I met here: thank you, and I'll miss you greatly. I couldn't have had better friends, or a better introduction to the world outside of the clan than the one you all gave me. I was waiting for Skyhold to get back to me, so to stay on schedule, I'm actually leaving tomorrow when most of you will be leaving for the Grand Tourney too. I hope you all have fun! And I guess the only thing left to say is farewell. Dareth shiral.
