This is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I apologize for the delay in doing so, but I'd like to make an announcement; I've been appointed as the liason for the Rifter population.
For this reason, if you have a concern about a particular Rifter which cannot be peacefully resolved on your own, or if any Rifter has need of information, or support, please don't hesitate to contact me. I know we may not seem like any kind of cohesive group, but you aren't alone. Please, try to remember that.
[He clears his throat, then and continues.]
As for the rest of you, I have a question. Nothing too serious, just a little... oh, call it a thought-exercise: I first heard this one as a child.
If your house was on fire, what's the first thing you'd take out of it?

My people have lost much, and think by sharing our history that we'll somehow lose it too. I disagree. If we reveal more, it can only help humans understand us better, so they don't have to make up wild rumors to fill the gaps.

[Elvhenan, he repeats to himself quietly, as if to be sure of remembering it.]
I wish I could offer my assistance on that count. Unfortunately, even if I could, my new position will be something of a drain on my time.

Though, I could have refused, if I felt it necessary.

More to the point, if I hadn't accepted, they would have either gone without anyone speaking on the Rifter's behalf, or potentially chosen someone who wasn't qualified. Perhaps not even a Rifter. I don't yet know if we're going to be in Thedas for the duration, nor how or when we might return to our homelands, and until we do... Well.
Whatever my personal opinions, we deserve a voice in our own future, not to have it decided for us.
