Maybe. Dunno what your tolerance for the existential is.

So to start with the fact part. I've had people I know come and go, here. None of our timelines matched exactly. A couple from my future, but longer in the future than the time I'd experienced passing here. One from a little way back in what was past for me. [She exhales.] I've been here twice, and remember both times, but we have rifters — who appear a second time with no memory of being here before. For me, it felt like about a year passed between the first time I came, and the second, in my home world; it had been longer than that in Thedas. And we have rifters who don't vanish, but receive new memories of home. The amount of memory, as far as I've been told, doesn't correspond in any particular way to how long they've been in Thedas.

So I think it's safe to say there's no reliable link between the time you experience here and what's happening where you're from. I'm sorry, that's got to be a bit frustrating. First time I was here, I was also under the gun for a time-sensitive problem at home and I know that can eat at you.
