Dagna

Introduction

The PC enters the undercroft and is greeted by Harritt.

Harritt: Inquisitor?

PC: The Arcanist has arrived?

Harritt: You should see for yourself.

The PC walks further in, looking around. They turn to be greeted by a dwarf.

Dagna: Hello there!

Dagna: Well don’t just stand there slack jawed, let’s figure out what you need!

The PC speaks to her.

PC: You’re the magical advisor?

Dagna: Oooh, you’re [them]. The Inquisitor. I’m Dagna. Arcanist Dagna. It’s an honor, your worship. Is that it? The hand-Anchor-mark? It’s pretty. The Breach was pretty too. In a… “destroy everything” sort of way. (Laughs.)

Dialogue options:

  • General: Welcome to the Inquisition. [1]
  • General: You’re not what I expected. [2]
  • General: Let’s get to business. [3]

1 - General: Welcome to the Inquisition. PC: I welcome you to the Inquisition, and look forward to your contribution. Dagna: Me too! I’ve heard some impossible things. I love impossible things. Those are the best to make, well, possible. [4]

2 - General: You’re not what I expected. PC: You’re not quite what I was expecting. You’re a dwarven “arcanist”? Dagna: the only one! When you learn things everyone says you can’t, you get to be the first! I don’t need to tell you. [4]

3 - General: Let’s get to business. PC: If you know your business, let’s get to it. Dagna: Oh, I do. Of course, that depends on what you need. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Dagna: I’ve looked at Harritt’s devices. The precision is fantastic, but typical. Mundane. Old thinking!

Harritt: It’s what now?

Dagna: No disrespect meant to the classical trades! But you need a new perspective.

Recruited before “Before the Dawn” or “under Her Skin” Dagna: I’ve made adjustments. As long as I keep making them, you can craft just about anything. Almost safely! [10]

Recruited during “Before the Dawn” Dagna: I mean, wearing red lyrium? That’s terrifyingly new! [5]

Recruited during “Under her Skin” Dagna: I mean, crystals? That talk? Creepy! [5]

5 - Scene continues.

Dagna: I need a few things and people and… whatnots? It’s hard to explain, but get me resources, and I’ll deliver!

Dialogue options:

  • General: My researchers are yours. [6]
  • General: This’ll be fun. [7]
  • General: You’d better know your stuff. [8]

6 - General: My researchers are yours. PC: You’ll have what you need to investigate [Samson/Calpernia]. Dagna: Excellent! I look forward to working with you.

7 - General: This’ll be fun. PC: You know, I’m going to like working with you. Dagna: Oh, I know I will. This is where everything is happening!

8 - General: You’d better know your stuff. PC: I need results. You’d better be able to provide them. Dagna: Don’t you worry. There’s nothing you can’t do if you want it bad enough!

9 - Scene continues.

Dagna: you’ll have my efforts. For the cause, and for the furthering of knowledge.

Dagna (HoF helped Dagna): A grand adventure, Inquisitor. Together! Dagna (HoF did not help Dagna): That’ll show everyone. (Laughs.)

Scene ends. [10]

10 - Dialogue options:

  • General: You noticed the Anchor? [11]
  • General: I want something crafted. [12]
  • General: We’ll talk later. [13]

11 - General: You noticed the Anchor? PC: You seemed impressed by the Anchor. What does it look like to you? Dagna: I heard what everyone says what you heard Corypheus say. That’s a long chain of “who said whats”. To me, it says “key.” But keys do lots of things. Open, lock, switch. Some open one thing, some open everything. It sounds like Corypheus made it to open. It looks like you can use it to close. It may be that simple. It sure is pretty. Wish I could see through it. [back to 10]

12 - General: I want something crafted. PC: Dagna, show me what you can do. Dagna: Do you want fire? The first ask is always fire. It’s fire, isn’t it? Here’s how it goes. Bring me the rare stuff, for enchanting or masterworks, and prep it here, just like normal. Except it’s not normal. It’s manipulation of primal forces. And I’ll make sure it goes just right. You’ll see.

Dagna (HoF helped Dagna): Let’s see together! [back to 10] Dagna (HoF did not help Dagna): They’ll all see. (Laughs.) [back to 10]

13 - General: We’ll talk later. PC: I’ll se you later, Dagna. Dagna: I can’t wait!


Here Lies the Abyss

Dagna: You were there! I have to know what it was like! The colors, the smells, the magic! I’m sorry, it’s just so exciting. You went into the Fade! (Ahem.) If you have time, Inquisitor, do tell!

  • Investigate: You asked about the Fade?

PC: You seemed excited that I fell into the Fade at Adamant.

Dagna: Excited? Spring gets me excited, this is a wonder.

Dagna: We can’t go there. Normally. We don’t even dream our way there. Dagna: It’s probably hard to relate, but dwarves don’t dream, so I can’t even guess what it’s like.

Dagna: I can’t even understand what dreams are! But you were there. And came back!

Dagna: Can I take a sample?

PC: A sample?

Dagna: Oh, that sounded sinister. I meant, can I cut a little piece off of you and do things to it? That didn’t sound better, did it? (Laughs.)

Dialogue options:

  • General: I’ll prepare a full report. [1]
  • General: You’re weird. [2]
  • General: What are you looking for? [3]

1 - General: I’ll prepare a full report. PC: You’ll have a full report of everything I saw. Will that do? Dagan: It’s a start. I’m sorry, it’s just, this is exciting. It all is. [4]

2 - General: You’re weird. PC: Have to say Dagna, this is strange. You don’t have to tell me. All the rules are breaking. And I’ve broken plenty, so I know! [4]

3 - General: What are you looking for? PC: You’re after something. What is it? I don’t even know. There’s this… feeling, you know? You don’t know. But I will. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Hmm… Your people cleaned you up after your fall. I wonder if anything is left? So much to think about.


The Descent

Dagna: Thank you for your investment in my investigations, Inquisitor. I’ve learned something. I think. I don’t know.

  • General: You investigated the Fade?

PC: What have you learned? Did you find out about the Fade?

Dagna: I got a scraping that was cleaned off you. And it’s weird. And the other rift bits, they’re weird. It’s just… weird. I said weird, right?

PC: Answers, Dagna.

Dagna: Lyrium and the Fade, linked. But dwarves and Tranquil, not linked. But they work lyrium, so they are. Somehow? There’s something there. I was face-deep in a rune, and for a moment… I was tall. Really tall. And I thought—I thought all the thoughts. (Nervous laugh.)

1 - Dialogue options:

  • General: “Thought all the thoughts?” [2]
  • General: You were “really tall”? [3]
  • General: What’s the link with no link? [4]
  • General: Keep at it. [5]

1 - General: “Thought all the thoughts?” PC: What do you mean when you say “thought all the thoughts”? Dagna: I don’t know? As if, for a moment, I was around all my people. And my thought was all of theirs?

PC (dwarf PC): Your thoughts were our thoughts? PC (non-dwarf PC): Your thoughts were their thoughts?

Dagna: No, no, my thought was all of our thoughts. Like parts. Ugh, words are mush. Maybe that’s what the Stone feels like. Or we think it feels like. If we think it feels? Creepy. [back to 1]

2 - General: You were “really tall”? PC: You felt taller? How much taller? Dagna: Like, mountain-tall. Or I was the mountain. But I was moving. I felt dizzy. You know what I remembered? Watching a Shaperate carve the Wall of Memory. Except… big. Isn’t that weird? Maybe there were fumes. [back to 1]

3 - General: What’s the link with no link? PC: So Tranquil and dwarves are linked to lyrium, but also not linked? Dagna: Like the lyrium needs to flow, but if you’re part of it, it takes you with it. So you can’t be part of it. That makes me sad. I’m not sure why. It seems like we should be part of it. Whatever “it” is. Or maybe we’re the ones who make it happen? Whatever “it” is? You know what’s frustrating? Answers that aren’t answers. Bleah. [back to 1]

4 - General: Keep at it. PC: Keep investigating, and let me know what you find. Dagna: I tried to make it happen again, but it wouldn’t. Then I had a headache. And cocoa. And a lie-down. I’ll keep at it. It’s… weird. Oh, and I made a rune. It’s weird, too. Be careful with it. Scene ends.


Investigate

1 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: Why did you agree to join us? [2]
  • Investigate: Let’s talk about your title. [3]
  • Investigate: Where did you study magic? [4]
  • Investigate: What are your skills? [5]

2 - Investigate: Why did you agree to join us? PC: You were quick to join the Inquisition. Is there something you want? Dagna: How could I waste a chance to get close to you? And Corypheus, my goodness! And actual physical rifts in the Veil?

Dagna (dwarf PC): I mean, we dwarves, no dreams, right? Now there are doors! We can do doors! Dagna (non-dwarf PC): Also, dwarves? We don’t dream. So when mages talk about it, I can only… well, dream what it would be like.

Dagna: So there’s that, and all the things you’ll probably find, and what I’ll get to make. The rules are different here! Plus, you’re paying me a lot! Like, wow. So much. [back to 1]

3 - Investigate: Let’s talk about your title. PC: What qualifies you to be an “arcanist”? I took the title because I’m a magical researcher, philosopher, and master of practical application. And I like it. I can’t actually do magic because I’m a dwarf, but that also means no risk of possession. Safer than a mage! It means that every skill I have? I’ve learned. Through reason and understanding! Coming from the Smith Caste, I know the value of mastering a craft. Did you know, dwarves invented enchanting, probably! [back to 1]

4 - Investigate: Where did you study magic? PC: Where does a dwarf go to study magical theory? Dagna: Get out! I asked myself that question for years. Turns out, not in Orzammar. I had to start at a Circle.

HoF helped Dgana Dagna: I had help, though. A Grey Warden, and I am forever grateful. With that sanction, I visited a half-dozen Circles. The wonders I have seen! And with an objective eye, I can spot where they overlap. That’s a surprise for every teacher! It’s a grand tradition, and it works so well with new thinking!
HoF did not help Dagna Dagna: I had to fight to do it. Everyone said I couldn’t. Everyone. I swept floors in libraries, traded runes for tomes. I met outsiders like me! New thinkers! If there’s something to know about magic, I’ll find it. There’s no barriers to what magic can do, Inquisitor. No matter what they say.

Dialogue options:

  • General (if HoF helped Dagna): A Grey Warden helped you? [6]
  • [Back to 1]

6 - General: A Grey Warden helped you? PC: You mentioned a Grey Warden who helped you start your studies? Dagna: Not any Grey Warden, the Grey Warden. The Hero of Ferelden is a hero in Orzammar, too!

Dwarf HoF Dagna (Aeducan HoF): I mean, [they were] from our royal family, so of course. Dagna (Brosca HoF): I was beyond excited to meet another dwarf who had gone to the surface.

HoF died Dagna: Then [they] died killing the Archdemon. I cried so hard. [They’ll] never know the difference [they] made in my life. [7]

HoF alive It’s incredible that someone like the Hero of Ferelden would stop to help the little people. Literally. (Giggles.) [7]

7 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: You must have learned a lot. [8]
  • Investigate: You gave up your home. [9]
  • Investigate: The Warden sounds special. [10]
  • General: Enough excitement for now. [11]

8 - Investigate: You must have learned a lot. PC: Your years of study have paid off. Dagna: Oh, yes. The mages said I brought a valuable perspective. I’ve even presented my work to the College of Enchanters. I wanted an exchange. The surface could learn about lyrium-smithing, and Orzammar would gain knowledge of magic. But now there’s no college, and so far as the Shaperate is concerned, I’m casteless. So you’re getting my best work, Inquisitor. Let’s make some great stuff. [back to 7] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 9 - Investigate: You gave up your home. PC: You gave up so much. Left your home. Was it really that amazing? Dagna: Yes. I left my home and my family, but I knew—I just knew I could be more than a smith. I wish my people weren’t stuck in the past, and I regret that my father couldn’t imagine another life for me. But I don’t regret what I did. [back to 7] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 10 - Investigate: The Warden sounds special. PC: The Warden affected you in a special way. Dagna: Talk to anyone, they’ll say the same. It was a dark time. There was one light. [They] saved us. [They] saved all of us. [back to 7] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 11 - General: Enough excitement for now. PC: All right, rein it in. You have work to do. Dagna: Right, sorry. I get carried away when I think of it. Ready when you need me. Scene ends.

5 - Investigate: What are your skills? PC: What is it you do, exactly? Dagna: I was born to the forge. That’s literal in the Smith Caste. So the hammer and tong? That’s like a heartbeat. But! You’ve a man for that already, and a good one. I’m here because of my passion for magic! Magical study, magical theory, magical enchantment, and through it, the manipulation of masterworks.

12 - Dialogue options:

  • General: Tell me about enchanting. [13]
  • General: You can make masterworks? [14]
  • General: Goodbye. [15]

13 - General: Tell me about enchanting. PC: What’s the story with enchanting? Dagna: Lyrium is the heart. In certain rational patterns, it beats like something alive. That’s how I see it. So! A mage can make your weapons do things, but with the right runes, the right rarities, your toys become wonders! It’s the one thing mages can’t do. Drives them mad. Literally! Dwarves are resistant, so it doesn’t affect us, mostly. ㅤㅤ ㅤ 14 - General: You can make masterworks? PC: You have the ability to make exceptional weapons and armor? Masterworks? Dagna: There’s an art to the forge as well as enchanting! You need an ear for it. And hands. Eyes too. Nothing bad to say about Harritt on that front, he’s wonderful, but there’s this little more needed. With the right bits, an edge can be more than an edge. Armor can do more than protect. A hue can be just a bit brighter. In short, smithing can be… more. (Laughs.) “In short.“ ㅤㅤ ㅤ 15 - General: Goodbye. Another time, Dagna. Dagna: Of course! Bring me what you want made, and I’ll make sure it goes just right.


Miscellaneous

After WPHW Dagna: The Temple of Mythal sounds like the most interesting place! I hope you brought back samples of… well, anything!

After WEWH, HLTA, and The Descent DLC, other conditions unknown Dagna: Something strange for you, Inquisitor. You’re used to that by now, right?

??? Well, that worked out well. That’s always lucky. I mean nice.

Fragment of Inadequate Chain Mail quest

  • Special: Any useful surprises?

PC: Had any luck making something useful with the things I’ve discovered?

Dagna: I can put anything to use, but I’m not sure ruins are the best place to find successful applications of magic. but you never know! Give this one a go! Acquired Victim of Fashion

Sulevin Blade

  • Special: I found a sword in a ruin.

PC: We found a sword in an elven ruin. Can you do something with it?

That broken thing? You can’t stitch a sword. Metal doesn’t heal. What if it did, though? That would be amazing!

PC: Dagna? The sword?

Sorry. It’s quality, right? I could use the pieces to make a plan for a new sword. One that’s less broken. It’s like the pieces are… inspiration. That’s just perfect for you.

Giving Samson to Dagna for study

  • Special: Learned anything about Samson?

PC: Have you learned anything new from your guest?

Dagna: Yes, he’s a red-lyrium-infused masterclass in how to be a sourpuss. He doesn’t do anything. I mean, I can’t blame him. He’s kind of broken. It’s very sad. But! I can wring out a rune or two. His armor is a fantastic application of old and new. It’s… mesmerizing. The best things are, you know.

Greetings and Ambient:

Greetings

  • Dagna: Well, how are you!
  • Dagna: Ready for anything, Inquisitor.
  • Dagna: Mind your step for… things, Inquisitor.
  • Dagna: Ready to answer the great mysteries. It’ll be wonderful!
  • Dagna: What can I do for you?

Ambient banter

  • Dagna: Pitter patter, up and at it. Hmm.
  • Dagna: Where is that tincture of… purple stuff.
  • Dagna: Flower motif, I think.
  • Dagna: Fire’s pretty. The world needs more of it.
  • Dagna: Infusions! (Giggles.)
  • Dagna: Mix and match, pick your batch.
  • Dagna: So much to shake up.
  • Dagna: What’s with scalding? No fun.
  • Dagna: Hmm. Tastes like candy. Burning candy.

Dagna: Fine looking ore! Harritt: (Uninterested grunt.)

Dagna: Not trying to step on your toes, you know. (Uninterested grunt.)

Dagna: I could show you some things I learned up north. Harritt: (Uninterested grunt.)

Dagna: Where’d you learn to hammer? Harritt: (Uninterested grunt.)

Dagna: Smithies these days, am I right? Harritt: (Uninterested grunt.)

Dagna: So I’m thinking: Pinkquisition? Harritt: (Thoughtful pause. Uninterested grunt.) Dagna: Almost got you. (Giggles.)

Masterwork success

  • Dagna: Hope it’s a good one!
  • Dagna: Glad to help!
  • Dagna: Good job there!

Masterwork fail

  • Dagna: Nothing? huh.
  • Dagna: Hope you come back.

Krem

Post-IYHSB Krem: Inquisitor. That’s got a good ring to it. We’re happy to be here, Your Worship. You need anything, let me know.

Post-HLtA Krem: Commander Cullen did good work at Adamant. Breached those walls like he’d done it a dozen times. Nice job with the demons, by the way.

Post-WEWH Krem: Most of the Chargers are still at the Temple of Mythal. I missed a crazy fight.

After Bull’s personal quest Krem: Shame the alliance with the chief’s people didn’t work out. He hasn’t said anything, but he’s feeling it.

Romancing Bull Krem: So you and the chief huh? Good for you two.


How Can We Use You?

Krem: Inquisitor. Krem: Your Worship.

Dialogue options:

  • General: How can we use you?

PC: Iron Bull said the Chargers were at my disposal. Do you have any suggestions on how to use them?

If asked before PC: Can you think of any other tasks suitable for the Chargers?

Post-IHW Corypheus corrupted the templars at Therinfal Redoubt, but we don’t know exactly what happened. I could have some of the boys go in and poke around the rubble. Might at least tell us something about the red templars.

Post-CotJ Corypheus took the rebel mages at Redcliffe, but we don’t know exactly what happened. I could take some of the boys and poke through Redcliffe’s castle. Might tell us more about the Venatori.

Post-IYHSB Krem: I suspect Haven’s quiet by now. Might be worth sending the boys back. We could recover some supplies, get an idea about the enemy’s strength. We could even pick up any stragglers who haven’t found Skyhold yet.

Post-HLtA Krem: You sealed the main rift at Adamant, but the fortress is still a mess. Demons, darkspawn, Maker knows what. I could take Rocky out there with some of the boys. They know how to bring down walls. We can’t close rifts, but we can bury the bastards under a ton of rubble.

Post-WEWH Krem: A few Orlesian nobles didn’t like how things ended at the Winter Palace. They’re not rebelling outright, but they’ve brought in mercenary companies in preparation. The Chargers have a good reputation. If we go in, we can buy the companies out from underneath them. The nobles will lose the men they meant for causing trouble, and the Inquisition gets some fresh blood.

Post-WPHW Krem: Most of our people were at the Temple of Mythal. I’ve still got a few, though—men who were recovering from wounds. I can send them around to rattle swords, wave flags, and look a lot larger than they are. It’ll mess with enemy estimates of our numbers, so no one thinks Skyhold is undermanned.

No new quests Krem: Nothing jumps out at me. If I come up with any ideas, I’ll let you know.


Tell me About the Chargers

PC: Can we talk about the Bull’s Chargers?

Krem: Best company you’ll find from here to the Anderfels. In my time with the chief, we’ve gone up against everything from bandits to magic trees. We’re expensive, but you’ll never doubt we’re worth it. Want to know anything in particular?

1 - Dialogue options:

  • General: What are your abilities? [2]
  • General (non-Qunari PC): Do you follow rules? [3]
  • Qunari PC: You follow standard rules? [4]
  • General: Tell me of an interesting job. [5]
  • General: Goodbye. [6]

2 - General: What are your abilities? PC: Do the Chargers specialize in anything from a tactical standpoint? Krem: Bull doesn’t want us large enough to work as an army. We’re better as shock troops or skirmishers. We’ve got archers for hitting enemy infantry, Dalish with ma—more archery, and Skinner and her people on the flanks. Rocky handles fortifications and traps, and Stitches keeps us all fighting. They mostly hold back. I lead the front-line fighters with Grim, and the chief goes wherever he can hit something. [back to 1]

3 - General: Do you follow rules? PC: Are there rules for how mercenaries operate? Krem: If you don’t want some noble to treat you like bandits, yes. There’s also a code of conduct most companies hold to. Keeps things civilized on the battlefield. We accept surrenders-for-ransom from mercenaries, nobles, and soldiers wearing a lord’s colors. Our prisoners are treated well, injuries tended. We’d want the same for any of ours who got captured. [back to 1]

4 - Qunari PC: You follow standard rules? PC: I assume the Chargers observe the standard etiquette? Krem: Absolutely. Clean record and cleared to take jobs in any country you can name. We accept surrenders-for-ransom from mercenaries, nobles, and soldiers wearing a lord’s colors. Our prisoners are treated well, injuries tended. We’d want the same for any of ours who got captured. [back to 1]

5 - General: Tell me of an interesting job.

First time asking PC: You said something about everything from bandits to magic trees? I’ll admit to some curiosity. Krem: Right. Sylvans, that’s what Dalish called them. Apparently spirits can possess trees, too. Some noble in the Dales–and they really don’t like it when you call them Dalish nobles–had a haunted forest. His family had abandoned the land, but he wanted it back. The chief bought us all axes, and in we went. Between the axes and torches, the sylvans weren’t too bad. Worst part was the squirrels. [back to 1]

If asked before PC: Have you had any other interesting jobs?

Krem: Had one noble whose rival had been told by a fortuneteller that her death would come on feathered wings. The noble sent us after the rival—not assassination, legal and everything—but we had to wear feathers. We sewed them into shirts over our armor. Should’ve seen the chief, all feathered up like the cock of the walk. Ended up retreating after all of that. The rival choked to death a year later on a chicken bone.

Krem: There was the time with the spiders. Big old beast had taken over some Nevarran lady’s winter estate, with a full season to lay eggs. Hanging from the chandelier, scuttling over the tapestries, webbing up the bath… I don’t really have a story about it. It was just a lot of spiders.

Krem: This Orlesian guy paid us to clear out some bandits who had taken over his mine. We got in, took down most of them, and had just reached their leader when the mine collapsed around us. Turned out the bandits were working for the Orlesian guy, and he wanted to cover up their agreement. The bandits passed around shovels. We all got to digging. Tracked a lot of dirt into that Orlesian’s bedroom.

Krem: We went up against Gattler’s Giants in Ferelden. Not actual giants, but big guys, all wearing a dragon’s weight in armor. Might as well be fighting golems. The chief challenged Gattler himself to single combat. Gattler laughed and called him a horned savage. The chief broke a dam and flooded the valley. Last we saw of Gattler was a bunch of bubbles as we swam away.

Krem: We had these villagers pay us with rice one time. Should’ve seen the chief’s face. Him and me and five guys defending the town from fifty bandits, and they pay us in bags of rice. Chief always took money up front after that. He also learned how to make this rice pudding dessert? Looks awful, but it’s pretty good.

[Back to 1]

6 - General: Goodbye. PC: We’ll talk later.


Tell Me About Yourself

PC: I wanted to talk about you, if that’s all right.

Krem: You know I’m from Tevinter. Wasn’t a slave, but even citizens have it rough if they’re not mages. I was a soldier, but women join the ranks under a different program. When they found out I was passing, it got ugly. I ran, met Bull near the border, and ended up here. Not a life I’d wish on everyone, but it’ll do.

1 - Dialogue options:

  • General: What is Tevinter life like? [2]
  • General: How did you end up leaving? [3]
  • General: Why do you pass? [4]
  • General: Goodbye. [5]

2 - General: What is Tevinter life like? PC: What’s Tevinter like for a citizen? Someone who isn’t a slave or a mage? Krem: I’m of the soporati, citizens who aren’t mages. Mages are in charge and everyone knows it, but a wealthy merchant can have an easy life. At the low end, people just try to stay out of slavery. My father was a tailor. I joined the army after the Imperial slaves drove him under.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: How did they do that? [6]
  • [Back to 1]

6 - Special: How did they do that? PC: How did slaves drive your family out of business? Krem: My father made shirts, aprons, that kind of thing. Nothing fancy. One of the magisters had a pet project, to prevent the poor from dying of cold in the winter. Nice, right? He had Imperial slaves making simple peasant clothes and selling them for almost nothing. That magister’s nice idea put out slave-made clothes at prices my father couldn’t match.

Dialogue options:

  • General: He had good intentions. [7]
  • General: Slave labor. Lovely. [8]
  • General: Who would buy those? [9]

7 - General: He had good intentions. PC: It sounds like the magister was doing it our of kindness. Krem: That’s the worst part of Tevinter: people don’t even realize they’re taking away your living. That magister wasn’t a terrible person. He probably saved slaves from dying. ㅤㅤ ㅤ 8 - General: Slave labor. Lovely. PC: It’s difficult to compete with someone who doesn’t get paid. Krem: That’s Tevinter. ㅤㅤ ㅤ 9 - General: Who would buy those? PC: Who would buy goods made by slaves, knowing they’d be hurting a citizen’s business? Krem: People with enough money for a new shirt or a loaf of bread, but not both. ㅤㅤ ㅤ 10 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Krem: My father sold himself into slavery. He’s one of the servus publicus, the Imperium-owned slaves, now. [back to 1]

3 - General: How did you end up leaving? PC: You said you left Tevinter when they discovered your secret? Krem: Women are allowed to serve, but only in certain ranks and disciplines. I was up for promotion, but the healer I’d bribed to sign off on my physical had to tend a sick magister. When the replacement healer saw what was, or wasn’t, in my pants, he made threats. It was slavery or death, so I knocked him out and ran.

11 - Dialogue options:

  • Special: How did you get away? [12]
  • Special: Passing is illegal? [13]
  • [Back to 1]

12 - Special: How did you get away? PC: I’m surprised you escaped from the Tevinter Imperium so easily. Krem: It’s not like I lived in Minrathous. I was in Trevis, not far from the Nevarran border. It helped that I was being chased as a deserter, not a runaway slave. Slave-hunters only get paid for what they catch. They’re efficient bastards. [back to 11] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 13 - Special: Passing is illegal? PC: It’s against the law to pass as a man? Krem: It’s a crime to lie on an Imperial application for service. Would’ve been a heavy fine or slavery. For ten silvers, the healer said he’d tell the tribune I was sick in the head. Some pity for the mad little girl. That was when I hit him. I’d served for a few years. I was good at hitting. [back to 11]

4 - General: Why do you pass? PC: Why did you decide to live as a man? Krem: I didn’t decide anything. I’ve been like this my whole life. My parents wanted me to marry up. They tried to find me a nice merchant’s son. Every day, I’d put on a dress, look into my father’s shaving mirror, and just… hate myself.

  • Special: Would you change with magic? [15]
  • Special: What did your family think? [16]
  • [Back to 1]

15 - Special: Would you change with magic? PC: If you had the chance to use magic, would you change all the way? Krem: What? No. I don’t want any magic like that within ten yards of my body. When I was younger… I don’t know. Everyone has silly dreams. In Tevinter, dreams like that get you killed. Bull helped me make a good life. Nice armor and a well-placed sock, and I’m happy. [back to 14] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 16 - Special: What did your family think? PC: How did your family react when you started? Krem: My mother wanted to throw me out. She said if I didn’t marry well, I was dooming the family to slavery. She was happy to take the money I sent as a soldier, though. Not that it mattered in the end. My father… when I was little, he’d angle his mirror down so I could pretend to shave, just like him. He never said anything, but I think he knew. [back to 14]

5 - General: Goodbye. PC: We’ll talk later.


Let’s Discuss the Iron Bull

PC: I’d like to know more about the Iron Bull.

Krem: The chief. First time I met him, he saved my life. I never thought I’d work for a Qunari, but he grows on you.

PC romancing Bull Krem: You must know him as well as I do, what with you two being… that. But ask, and I’ll tell you what I know.

PC not romancing Bull Krem: He’s not like any commander I’ve ever worked for, that’s for damn sure.

1 - Dialogue options:

  • General: How did you end up with him? [2]
  • General: What kind of commander is he? [3]
  • General: Is him being Qunari odd? [4]
  • General: Goodbye. [5]

2 - General: How did you end up with him? PC: How did a Tevinter soldier wind up in a Qunari spy’s mercenary company? Krem: I wasn’t a soldier at the time. I was in some trouble and trying to flee Tevinter. A tribune and his men caught me in a border town tavern. They meant to make an example of me. Bull killed them. Gave up his eye doing it. He patched me up and asked if I was looking for work. I’ve been putting up with his jokes ever since.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: He gave up his eye? [6]
  • [Back to 1]

6 - Special: He gave up his eye? PC: That’s how he lost the eye? Krem: Yes. The guards had me on the tavern floor when Bull came inside and yelled for them to stop. One of them saw trouble coming and figured he’d finish me off. The guard had a flail. Bull put himself between me and the blow. Big horned idiot. Didn’t even know me. [back to 1]

3 - General: What kind of commander is he? PC: How’s Iron Bull as a commander? Krem: If you know what you’re doing and hold up your end, he’s easy. He doesn’t accept any less. He keeps us alive, he leads from the front, and if you’ve an idea that’ll win the fight, he listens. I’ve seen bands whose captains had to prove they were swingin’ the biggest sword. Bull isn’t like that. The Chargers might give him more lip than you’d expect, but every one of us would lay down our lives for the big ass. [back to 1]

4 - General: Is him being Qunari odd? PC: Is it strange to work for a Qunari? Krem: He hasn’t tried to convert us to the Qun, if that’s what you’re asking. The Bull’s Chargers don’t care who you light a candle for, so long as your shield stays up. If he hadn’t told me he was Ben-Hassrath, I’d’ve thought he’d left that life behind.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: I’m surprised he told you. [7]
  • [Back to 1]

7 - Special: I’m surprised he told you. PC: I didn’t expect he’d tell you all that he was a spy. Krem: Not the whole band, but those who’ve been around long enough to trust. He figures most of us would find out sooner or later, and it should come from him. Eyes to eye, he says. It’s never messed up a job. He just writes letters back home. Lot of the boys write letters back home.

5 - General: Goodbye. PC: We’ll talk later.


Mother Giselle

From the Ashes

Giselle: Ah, Inquisitor. You have finally come into your own. The Maker has put you on w difficult path. I pray you walk it safely.

Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: Did you make me Inquisitor? [5]
  • General: I will prove myself worthy. [6]
  • General: I have no choice. [7]
  • General: We’re done praying. [8]

5 - Investigate: Did you make me Inquisitor? PC: I remember out talk out there. before we found Skyhold. It wasn’t just the Maker who put me on this path, was it? Giselle: The Inquisitor could never have been Cassandra or Leliana… or me, for that matter. We are too political, too tied to the Chantry in all its failings. But I did not make you stand against Corypheus. I did not make you risk death to save the people of Haven. Only you could be the Inquisitor. I only pray the power of the Inquisition is enough.

Dialogue options:

  • General: I will prove myself worthy. [6]
  • General: We’re done praying. [8]
  • General: It will have to be. [9]

9 - General: It will have to be. PC: If the power of the Inquisition isn’t enough, we’re all in a great deal of trouble. Giselle: It may seem overwhelming now, but you have already done more than most could have. [10]

6 - General: I will prove myself worthy. PC: I’ll do my best to earn this. Giselle: You earned this in Haven. [10]

7 - General: I have no choice. I doubt “safely” is realistic. Quickly, perhaps. Giselle: It may seem overwhelming now, but you have already done more than most could have. [10]

8 - General: We’re done praying. PC: We’re long past the time for prayers. Giselle: We are never past the time for prayers, Inquisitor. [10]

10 - Scene continues.

Giselle: The Maker has chosen you to deliver us from Corypheus. You have the faith and support of everyone here. Never forget that. Now, was there anything else? Scene ends.

Here Lies the Abyss

Giselle: Inquisitor. The soldiers say you banished the demons at Adamant, and freed the Grey Warden mages. I understand from Sister Leliana that the truth is somewhat more complex, but no less extraordinary. She said that you spoke with a figure in the Fade that seemed to be the soul of Divine Justinia. I suspect many of the faithful would like to know what Justinia told you.

Dialogue options:

  • General: I learned the truth. [11]
  • General: Nothing. It wasn’t her. [12]
  • General: I cannot say. [13]

11 - General: I learned the truth. PC: She helped me remember what happened at the Conclave. The Maker didn’t give me the mark on my hand—I was struck in battle. And Andraste didn’t send me: the figure everyone saw was Divine Justinia.

Choice dependent dialogue:

  • PC claimed chosen [14]
  • PC denied being chosen [15]
  • PC was unsure about being chosen [16]

14 - PC claimed chosen Giselle: I am so sorry. That must have come as quite a shock.

Dialogue options:

  • General: It doesn’t matter. [17]
  • General: I’m a fake. [20]
  • General: I believed. [21]
  • General: I still believe. [22]

20 - General: I’m a fake. PC: I thought that the Maker chose me… but He didn’t. I’m a fraud. Giselle: Are you? What have you done if not the Maker’s work? Those who looked to the Maker never asked for a literal hand to stretch out of the Fade to protect them. They wanted a sign that in the harsh and unforgiving world, there existed some reason to hope. [25] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 21 - General: I believed. PC: I believed everything they said about me. I was so certain it was true… That I was the Herald of Andraste. Giselle: Who is to say that you are not? Forget the figure standing over you as you fell from the Fade. The people needed a sign in this harsh and unforgiving world, there existed some reason to hope. [25] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 22 - General: I still believe. PC: The Maker didn’t need to send Andraste for me physically for me to be her Herald. Giselle: I am glad to see your faith has not deserted you. You will need it in battles to come. It is wise that you have not let what happened in the Fade spread, however. Some would not understand. [35]

15 - PC denied being chosen Giselle: So it is as you have always maintained. You must feel quite vindicated.

Dialogue options:

  • General: It doesn’t matter. [17]
  • General: This makes it easier. [18]
  • General: The entire idea was foolish. [23]
  • General: Quite the reverse, in fact. [24]

23 - General: The entire idea was foolish. PC: Too many people look to the Maker to solve their problems. It’s never that easy. Giselle: You do a disservice to their faith, Inquisitor. Those who looked to the Maker never asked for a literal hand to stretch out of the Fade to protect them. They wanted a sign that in the harsh and unforgiving world, there existed some reason to hope. [25] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 24 - General: Quite the reverse, in fact. PC: I may not have believed, but part of me always hoped it was true… That I was the Herald of Andraste. Giselle: Who is to say that you are not? Forget the figure standing over you as you fell from the Fade. The people needed a sign in this harsh and unforgiving world, there existed some reason to hope. [25]

16 - PC was unsure about being chosen Giselle: Ah. And how do you feel about what you have learned?

Dialogue options:

General: It doesn’t matter. [17] General: This makes it easier. [18] General: I’m disappointed. [19]

17 - General: It doesn’t matter. PC: I don’t have time to dwell on it. We have a war to fight. Giselle: Then I will save my own ruminations upon faith and belief, and simply pray for your success, Inquisitor. It is wise that you have not let what happened in the Fade spread, however. Some would not understand. [35] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 18 - General: This makes it easier. PC: I’m relieved to have any worries about Andraste or the Maker put aside. This is not a battle of mortals and magic. One we can win. Giselle: Then I will save my own ruminations upon faith and belief, and simply pray for your success, Inquisitor. It is wise that you have not let what happened in the Fade spread, however. Some would not understand. [35] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 19 - General: I’m disappointed. PC: I’ve never said one way or the other… but part of me always hoped it was true. That I was the Herald of Andraste. Giselle: Who is to say that you are not? Forget the figure standing over you as you fell from the Fade. The people needed a sign in this harsh and unforgiving world, there existed some reason to hope. [25]

25 - Scene continues.

Giselle: And they found that in you.

Dialogue options:

  • General: That’s changing definitions. [26]
  • General: They wouldn’t see it that way. [27]
  • General: It’s a lie. [28]

26 - General: That’s changing definitions. PC: That isn’t how this works. The evidence for me having some divine mission was proven false. [29]

27 - General: They wouldn’t see it that way. PC: That’s a generous interpretation of things, Revered Mother. Do you think the world shares it? “Oh, [they weren’t] literally sent by Andraste, but [they’re] still the Herald metaphorically.” [29]

28 - General: It’s a lie. PC: Dress it up as fancy as you like—we’re still lying to these people. [29]

29 - Scene continues.

Giselle: This is the trouble with metaphors and the educated. A farmer cannot understand the truth of the Maker, so he learns that the Maker is a man, but greater. A mage learns the same thing, knows it to be simplistic, and feels clever for realizing it is not literally true. But a metaphor is not a lie. It is a tool to help people understand something beyond them… and we need such a tool.

Dialogue options:

  • General: But who hears what? [30]
  • General: I suppose you’re right. [31]
  • General (non-human PC): But I’m not human. [32]
  • General: I disagree. [33]
  • General: But what is the truth? [34]

30 - General: But who hears what? PC; But how do you keep your stories straight when different people understand different things. Giselle: The same way you keep Sister Leliana, Commander Cullen, and Ambassador Montilyet happy all at once. Very carefully. [35]

31 - General: I suppose you’re right. PC: I hadn’t thought of it that way. Giselle: A life of service to the Chantry means learning to share the wisdom of the Maker with all His children. A farmer, a noble, a warrior, and a mage will all see different aspects of the Maker in their lives. They must each hear the story that will reach them… and each of those stories is valid. [35]

32 - General: But I’m not human. Dalish PC PC: That’s well and good for humans and the Maker, but I’m Dalish, remember? Giselle: And your people have your own mysteries. Perhaps your elven gods are aspects of what we call the Maker. Perhaps they are but myths, meant to instruct your people in how to live a better life.

Dwarf PC PC: That’s well and good for humans and the Maker. I don’t remember any dwarves in the Chant of Light. Giselle: Your people are mentioned here and there. But your ancestors in Orzammar follow the Stone. Perhaps the Stone is a metaphor for all creation and the Maker’s hand in it. Perhaps it is a guide for living as well.

Qunari PC PC: Well that’s all well and good for humans and the Maker. It hasn’t worked well for Qunari. Giselle: You were not raised under the Qun, but from little I understand of it, is it not somehow similar? Does it not guide the Qunari in overcoming their lesser natures to find a better life, like the Chant of Light?

Giselle: I must believe there is something beyond the metaphors that divide and confuse, something that watches and cares. And I will continues to pray to whatever that is, as best I can. [35]

33 - General: I disagree. PC: If the Maker were real, He would not need metaphors to explain Him.

Giselle (Gaspard rules): Oh? Emperor Gaspard is real, is he not? Try to understand him from the mind of an Orlesian peasant. Now again, from the mind of a duchess. Now for a chevalier. Giselle (Celene rules/WEWH not completed): Oh? Empress Celene is real, is she not? Try to understand her from the mind of an Orlesian peasant. Now again, from the mind of a duke. Now, for an elf.

Giselle: Do you see? We all try to understand the world as we can. If you assume your viewpoint alone is the truth, you are no better than Corypheus. [35]

34 - General: But what is the truth? PC: I don’t need metaphors right now, with everything Corypheus is doing. I need the truth. Giselle: Everyone says that, when their lives are difficult. Everyone looks for some secret message. You might look upon the face of the Maker Himself in a vision, but ultimately, even that would just be another metaphor. The truth is that He made this world, and He put us here to learn. That is all you can do. [35]

12 - General: Nothing. It wasn’t her. PC: It wasn’t Justinia, just a spirit imitating her. Whatever she said is irrelevant. Giselle: “Those who had been cast down, the demons who would be gods, began to whisper to men from their tombs within the earth. And the men of Tevinter heard, and raised altars to the pretender gods once more.” A verse from the Canticle of Threnodies, reminding us quite wisely to avoid the whispers of demons. [35]

13 - General: I cannot say. PC: I’m sorry—that was between me and her. Giselle: Of course, Inquisitor. Not every visions is meant for the ears of all the world. Some burdens, you must carry alone. [35]

35 - Scene continues.

Giselle: Now, is there anything I can help you with? Scene ends.


What Pride Had Wrought

Giselle: I heard reports of the events at the Temple of Mythal, Inquisitor. It sounds magnificent. I hope we can explore it fully once Corypheus is defeated.

Dialogue options:

  • Dalish: But you’re human. [36]
  • General: Aren’t elven gods heresy? [37]
  • General: I hope so. [38]
  • General: It’s not a priority. [39]

36 - Dalish: But you’re human. PC: I didn’t expect a Chantry mother to be interested in exploring an elven god’s temple. Giselle: Whether your gods are myths or aspects of the Maker, they are worth studying. Whatever we find there will help us better understand our world and our Maker. No believer should fear the truth. [40]

37 - General: Aren’t elven gods heresy? PC: I’m surprised a Chantry mother wants to explore a temple full of references to the elven gods. Giselle: The Maker is great enough to withstand whatever truths we uncover. Whether these “elven gods” were myths or aspects of the Maker, they are worth studying. [40]

38 - General: I hope so. PC: The Temple of Mythal held knowledge safe for untold centuries. It would be tragic to lose it. Giselle: Indeed. The Maker made the elves, as He did all children of this world. Any knowledge preserved by ancient elves in that temple could help us understand him better. [40]

39 - General: It’s not a priority. PC: We got what we needed from the temple. Everything else can wait. Giselle: Of course. As long as the waiting does not turn into ignoring the temple… or destroying it. The Maker made all of this world, even the elves. It is our duty to understand all of history. [40]

40 - Scene continues.

Giselle: But of course, all that must wait until Corypheus himself is defeated. Was there anything else, Inquisitor? Scene ends.


Post-Game

Giselle: You have healed the sky and cast down a great darkness, Inquisitor. Whatever squabbles follow your work, I hope you hold onto these facts. I know I will. Scene ends.


Investigate

Giselle: Inquisitor. Giselle: Herald of Andraste. Giselle: Your Worship.

1 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: Who will be the next Divine? [2]
  • Investigate (first approach): How are the people? [3]
  • Investigate: How are the people? [4]
  • General: Goodbye. [5]

2 - Investigate: Who will be the next Divine? PC: Do you know who the grand clerics will choose as the next Divine? Giselle: It is a difficult decision. All the obvious candidates perished with Divine Justinia at the Conclave. As Inquisitor, your actions carry weight. You may affect the decision, whether you intend to or not. Whoever is chosen needs your support. No one else has accomplished anything against Corypheus.

3 - Investigate: How are the people? PC: I’d like information on how the fight against Corypheus is affecting the common folk. Giselle: They are scared, of course. Many have lost homes or loved ones. I doubt many will sleep well until you have sealed the Breach. I have offered what help I can. The rest is for the Inquisition. What more do you wish to know? [6]

4 - Investigate: How are the people? PC: Can you tell me how our people are doing? Giselle: What would you like to know?

6 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: How are people at Skyhold? [7]
  • Investigate: What help are you offering? [8]
  • Investigate: How are people elsewhere? [9]

7 - Investigate: How are people at Skyhold? PC: How are our forces at Skyhold doing?

From the Ashes Giselle: Still in shock, for the most part. To see Haven destroyed so soon after the Conclave… You saved many, but still, lives were lost, and traveling through the wilderness did not make treating injuries easier. For all that though, more people arrive every day. Some are refugees, but others want to help. [back to 6]

post-HLTA Giselle: We have many injured. The siege of Adamant was brutal for all involved. Even so, more flock to your banner. They have heard that the Inquisition defeated the legendary Grey Wardens. Your soldiers have been bloodied, Inquisitor. They are veterans, now, an army in more than just name. [back to 6]

Post-WPHW Giselle: With most of the Inquisition forces still at the Temple of Mythal, it is surprisingly quiet. When your army returns, that will change soon enough. Soon, even Skyhold will be filled to bursting with believers coming to join the Inquisition. I have spoken with Ambassador Montilyet. It will be tight, but we will have food and work for all. [back to 6]

8 - Investigate: What help are you offering? PC: What are you doing to help these people? Giselle: My sisters and I have been tending to the injured as best we are able. Some refugees come with food, while others arrive empty-handed. I have helped ensure that all have enough to eat. Beyond that, many simply wish the familiar comfort of the Chant of Light. It is little enough work to offer some comfort to those in pain. [back to 6]

9 - Investigate: How are people elsewhere? PC: Do you have information on people elsewhere?

Giselle: The refugees in the Hinterlands are desperate. Without help, starvation or war will claim many lives. Giselle: You have done much for the refugees in the Hinterlands. Many who would have starved or frozen owe you their lives.

Giselle: Villagers in Crestwood are besieged by their own dead. They have sent word begging for assistance. Giselle: With the rift near Crestwood sealed, the villagers have begun rebuilding their homes… and lives.

Giselle: People are vanishing in the hills of Emprise du Lion. It may be demons, or something worse, but they are terrified. Giselle: The people in the hills of Emprise du Lion are safe again, thanks to you. They may even plant crops this season.

Giselle: More than that, I cannot say. It is a chaotic time for all in Orlais and Ferelden. [back to 6]

5 - General: Goodbye.

PC: Farewell, Revered Mother.

PC: Farewell.

Giselle: Maker go with you. Giselle: Until next time. Giselle: Farewell. Giselle: Be well, Inquisitor.


I’d Like Inquisition History

PC: Can you tell me about the original Inquisition?

Giselle: The original Inquisition was formed after the First Blight, well before the Chantry as we know it. The Inquisitors were hunters, zealots who tracked and killed cultists and dangerous mages. As Andraste rose to power, the Inquisition came into her service. Instead of hunting those who would do harm, the Inquisitors spread the Chant of Light by force.

Dialogue options:

  • General: That’s horrible. [1]
  • General: We’re named after that? [2]
  • General: It had to be done. [3]

1 - General: That’s horrible. PC: It must be difficult to follow the Chant of Light, knowing how it spread. Giselle: Indeed. I have always believed that the Maker wished us to spread the Chant of Light by example, not violence. [4]

2 - General: We’re named after that? PC: No wonder everyone is so nervous around us. Who chose that name? Giselle: Divine Justinia herself. I understand that it was not a popular decision. [4]

3 - General: It had to be done. PC: It sounds as though it was necessary at the time. Giselle: Perhaps. They committed acts I find reprehensible, but they lived in a time with no Circles. There was no justice, no safety from the danger of mages or abominations, except for them. [4]

4 - Scene continues

Giselle: In any case, once the Chant of Light had spread far and wide, there was less need for zealots. The Inquisitors became the Seekers of Truth, and eventually the templars.

  • General: Why bring us back? PC: This is a dark chapter of history for the Divine to revisit. ㅤㅤ ㅤ
  • General: So we’re true believers? PC: We’re more zealous than the templars and the Seekers? I suppose that explains Cassandra. ㅤㅤ ㅤ
  • General: And now we’re back. PC: And now the Inquisition has been called again to restore order… by force.

Giselle: Do you know what impresses me most about the original Inquisition? They fought horrific battles, killed and died for their cause… and when it was time, they put their swords away. Perhaps the name was Divine Justinia’s message: That when the Inquisition is needed, it will strike without mercy. But when its work is done, it will put its sword away.

Only available in Skyhold Dialogue options:

  • General: I agree. [5]
  • General: We could improve things. [6]
  • General: I don’t think so. [7]

5 - General: I agree. PC: When Corypheus is dead and order restored, the Inquisition will no longer be necessary. Giselle: I am glad to hear you say so, Inquisitor. [8]

6 - General: We could improve things. PC: We can’t just walk away when this is over. We have a responsibility to shape this age into something better. Giselle: Perhaps you would make things better, Inquisitor. Or perhaps in a hundred years, the Inquisition would be filled with fools vying for power, no better than the Chantry. I suppose we shall see. [8]

7 - General: I don’t think so. PC: If you put a sword away, it gets dusty, rusty, and forgotten. Peace comes with a sword in plain view for everyone to see and remember. Giselle: Well, you are the Inquisitor, You will do what must be done. [8]

8 - Scene ends.


Let’s Talk About the Chantry

PC (???): My clan had little knowledge of the Chantry. May I ask some questions?
PC (Dalish PC): Growing up Dalish, I heard little about your Chantry. Can you tell me about it? PC (dwarf PC): You know, I grew up around humans, but I never learned much about the Chantry. Can you tell me about it? PC (human/Qunari PC): I don’t believe I’ve had the chance to speak candidly with a revered mother. Can you tell me about the Chantry?

Hon-human PC: Giselle: Of course. Too many think that the Chant of Light should only be sung by humans. The truth is that knowledge of the Maker and Andraste should be open to all who wish to learn of Him. We believe the Maker created us, and that mankind’s sinful nature caused Him to turn away. With Andraste’s blessing, the Maker will forgive mankind once the Chant of Light is sung from all corners of this world.

Human PC Giselle: I presume you mean deeper questions about the organization itself. Giselle (mage PC): Even in the Circle at Ostwick, you should have been taught the basics. Giselle (non-mage PC): I trust the chantry at Ostwick taught you the basics.

1 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: How do you view magic? [2]
  • Investigate: Why only human women? [3]
  • Investigate: What about Exalted Marches? [4]
  • General: Goodbye. [9]

2 - Investigate: How do you view magic? PC: What is your stance on magic? Giselle: Andraste put it simply: magic must serve man, not rule over him. However, those words must be put into the proper historical context. Andraste led a rebellion against the Tevinter Imperium, whose magisters controlled most of the world at the time. Even then, she never called for all mages to be put to death. She believed in peaceful coexistence.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: The Chantry is more stringent. [5]
  • [Back to 1]

5 - Special: The Chantry is more stringent. PC: I don’t recall the Chantry being as tolerant of magic as you describe. Giselle: No. The Chantry is an imperfect vessel, pulled in every direction by those who would steer its course. Yet the templars rebelled precisely because Divine Justinia was not restrictive enough. Perhaps the Inquisition will find a better way. [back to 1]

3 - Investigate: Why only human women? PC: Why does the Chantry allow only human women to become priestesses? Giselle: The official doctrine is that elves and dwarves have turned further from the Maker than humanity. And as for men, the Chant holds that they are more vulnerable to anger or passion. But in truth, it is simply political, added after Andraste’s death, like too many of our beliefs.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: If you believe that, fight. [6]
  • [Back to 1]

6 - Special: If you believe that, fight. PC: If you don’t believe these restrictions are what Andraste wanted, why haven’t you tried to change them? Giselle: Has the current state of the world not taught you the folly of fighting too many battles at once? I chose to use what power I had to help peasants forgotten by the nobles of Orlais. I believed there would be time to address their inequality under the Chantry once we had saved them from starving. [back to 1]

4 - Investigate: What about Exalted Marches? PC: There were calls for an Exalted March to put down the mage rebellion. What was your opinion? Giselle: It was ignorant gossip. An Exalted March only succeeds when it carries the will of the people. Even then, it cannot be undertaken lightly. People are too easily frightened. We cannot destroy everything they fear. An Exalted March is justified only against a true threat to this whole world. It is an offence to the Maker to use it as a political bludgeon, or as a means of spreading the Chant of Light.

Dialogue options:

  • Special (Dalish PC): A March destroyed the Dales. [7]
  • Special (non-Dalish PC): And the March on the Dales? [8]
  • [Back to 1]

7 - Special: A March destroyed the Dales. PC: A pity voices like yours were not louder when an Exalted March crushed my people. Giselle: That is a hotly debated matter in some circles of the Chantry. Your people had conquered Montsimmard and threatened Val Royeaux itself. They were not helpless victims. But even then, Orlais was the only nation to provide troops. It was hardly an Exalted March of all the faithful. The Maker wishes His word to spread by example, not by war. We win no converts with blood. [back to 1] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 8 - Special: And the March on the Dales? PC: What about the Exalted March that conquered the elves? Giselle: That is a hotly debated matter in some circles of the Chantry. The elves had conquered Montsimmard and threatened Val Royeaux itself. They were not helpless victims. But even then, Orlais was the only nation to provide troops. It was hardly an Exalted March of all the faithful. The Maker wishes His word to spread by example, not by war. We win no converts with blood. [back to 1]

9 - General: Goodbye. PC: Farewell, Revered Mother. PC: Farewell.

Giselle: Maker go with you. Giselle: Until next time. Giselle: Farewell.

Asking again: PC: I’d like to hear more about the Chantry. Giselle: Of course. [1]


Scout Harding

Investigate

PC: Scout Harding.

Harding: Your Worship.

If spoken to before

Harding: Going well, I hope? Harding: Inquisitor. Harding: Hey.

1 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: What are you doing here? [2]
  • Investigate: Tell me about yourself. [3]
  • General: What’s new? [4]
  • General: [Leave.] [5]

2 - Investigate: What are you doing here? PC: Shouldn’t you be out there… scouting? Harding: In a bit. We’re in Skyhold for supplies, and a change of personnel. Not me though. Indispensable. (Laughs.) [back to 1]

3 - Investigate: Tell me about yourself. PC: So, who’s Scout Harding, really? Harding: Me? I’m no one. Lived near Redcliffe all my life. Herded sheep for my neighbor. When the Inquisition came through my village, I helped by telling them everything I knew about the area. Then I signed on. Wanted to see the world before it was swallowed up by… that thing out there. [back to 1]

4 - General: What’s new? PC: What’s been going on?

  • Harding: Sister Leliana glanced at me today. I think she’s going to have me killed.
  • Harding: Seeker Cassandra came through here, looking like a storm cloud. That’s just her face though, isn’t it?
  • Harding: Ambassador Montilyet sent me a basket of flowers to thank me for my work with the Inquisition! She’s so lovely.
  • Harding: Varric came by to talk. He told me a story about copper marigolds.
  • Harding (Vivienne recruited): Madame de Fer said hello to me! Or maybe she was waving at someone else and I just thought she was… That’s probably what happened.
  • Harding (Cole recruited): That strange boy came in with an armful of chickens. You’re—you’re looking after him, right?
  • Harding (Dorian recruited): Dorian’s awfully pretty, isn’t he?
  • Harding: Just waiting to get back out there.
  • Harding: Just relaxing. Taking a breath. You need to sometimes, to keep sane.
  • Harding: They’ve done a lot with this place. I’m impressed.
  • Harding: Not much. The usual. Nice of you to ask.

[Back to 1]

5 - General: [Leave.] PC: I have to go. PC: I should go. PC: Take care.

Harding: See you later. Harding: Nice chatting. Harding: Later, then.


Romance: Call Me Lace

After flirting with 3 times Harding: I wondered why all Skyhold seems suddenly brighter.

After flirting 5 times Harding: Oh. Hey. Hello. Good that you’re here, because I need to talk to you. (Sighs.) You know that thing we do, when we meet out there? The playful banter? That—that’s just for fun, right?

Dialogue options:

  • Flirt: I like you. [1]
  • End romance: It doesn’t mean anything. [2]

1 - Flirt: I like you. PC: It is fun, and I would like it to continue. Harding: Really? Wow. I’m… stunned. And flattered. And a little bit afraid. I often spend time at the tavern. Maybe you could join me sometime? PC: I’d like that, Scout Harding. Harding: You can call me Lace. [3]

2 - End romance: It doesn’t mean anything. PC: I didn’t mean anything by it. Harding: Oh, good. I was worried. Carry on then! Scene ends.

3 - Scene continues.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: Lace Harding?

PC: Wait. Your name is Lace Harding?

Harding: My mother was a seamstress! Blame her! And stop looking at me like that. And don’t tell anyone.

If spoken to again Harding: Knew you couldn’t stay away. Harding: Hey you.

Post-WPHW Harding: This is it, huh? Time to take the big one down? It’s been great, really. Everything. The Inquisition. Being able to do something about the world. You be careful. And—and maybe we’ll talk after.


Enchanter Fiona

Leader of a Rebellion

Fiona: Greetings, Inquisitor. That… is your title now, yes?

Choice dependent dialogue:

  • Allied mages [1]
  • Conscripted mages [2]

1 - Allied mages Fiona: I should thank you. The way things ended in Redcliffe, you could have demanded anything you wished. Yet you chose to make us equal partners. I was not expecting that.

Dialogue options:

  • General: I believe in your cause. [3]
  • General: The mages are useful. [4]
  • General: You’re not “equal” partners. [5]

3 - General: I believe in your cause. PC: You rebelled for good reason.

Fiona (mage PC): I knew you, of all people, would understand. [9] Fiona (non-mage PC): I’m pleased to hear you say that, Inquisitor. [9]

4 - General: The mages are useful. PC: Having you here willingly can only make us stronger. Fiona: Fair enough. [9]

5 - General: You’re not “equal” partners. PC: Let’s be realistic: you’re not “equal” partners with the Inquisition. Fiona: Fair enough. [9]

2 - Conscripted mages

Fiona: I admit, I was worried what being conscripted into the Inquisition would mean… but it’s not as bad as I feared. We survived the attack on Haven, and this fortress is secure. It’s more than most of us have known for a long time.

Dialogue options:

  • General: That’s good. [6]
  • General: Just stay in line. [7]
  • General: There’s more to come. [8]

6 - General: That’s good. PC: I’m glad you’ve settled in. Fiona: It’s better than being hunted by templars for months on end. [9]

7 - General: Just stay in line. PC: Don’t get out of line. That’s all I ask. Fiona: Fair enough. [9]

8 - General: There’s more to come. PC: Don’t get comfortable. There’s more on the way. Fiona: Fair enough. [9]

9 - Scene continues.

Fiona: (Chuckles.) I’ve been a Grey Warden, grand enchanter, leader of a rebellion… and now I am none of those things. Odd where fate takes you, as you’re no doubt well aware.


Here Lies the Abyss

The PC speaks to Fiona after meeting the Warden contact.

Warden Alistair Fiona: The Warden you brought to Skyhold… his name is Alistair? PC: Yes. Didn’t you meet him? Fiona: No, there’s… no point in that now. He seems a good man.

Dialogue options:

  • General: He does. PC: That’s true. He does. ㅤㅤ ㅤ
  • General: I hardly know him. PC: I couldn’t say. ㅤㅤ ㅤ
  • General: That doesn’t matter. PC: What matters is that he can help us.

Fiona: It’s not important. I’m simply musing on the clever tricks the Maker plays.

Warden Loghain Fiona: I met Loghain long ago, when I was a Grey Warden. Odd he should be one now, while I am not. His suspicion of us bordered on the fanatical. It doesn’t surprise me you found the Wardens mixed up in all this. From firsthand experience, you should be wary anytime my old Order is involved.

Warden Stroud Fiona: It doesn’t surprise me you found the Wardens mixed up in all this. From firsthand experience, you should be wary anytime my old Order is involved.

The PC speaks to Fiona after deciding the fate of the Wardens.

Alistair left in Fade Fiona: The Grey Warden, Alistair, they tell me… he died? In the Fade?

Dialogue options:

  • General: He saved us. [1]
  • General: It was his decision. [2]
  • General: I assume so. [3]

1 - General: He saved us. PC: He saved us, throwing himself at the demon to buy time. Fiona: A hero’s death. That is… something. [4]

2 - General: It was his decision. It was Alistair’s decision to sacrifice himself. Fiona: Ah. [4]

3 - General: I assume so. PC: I assume he’s dead, or as good as. Fiona: Ah. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Fiona: Pray, Inquisitor, when all this is done, you do not regret the choices you made. You may find some things are harder to bear than others.

Exiled Wardens I’m told you exiled the Grey Wardens, Inquisitor. (Sighs.) I can’t say it’s surprising. Even when I was with the Order, they seemed to be heading to no good end. Perhaps this will wake them up… or doom them forever. Only time will tell

Allied Wardens I’m told you gave the Grey Wardens another chance, Inquisitor. I hope the Order values what you’ve done, and gives you no reason to regret it.


Investiagate

Fiona: Greetings again, Inquisitor.

Alexius given to the mages Fiona: I heard of your verdict on Alexius, Inquisitor. Servitude is… kinder a punishment than I would have given, but I won’t complain. He may wish you’d done worse. My fellows have some interesting ideas on exactly what he can do as compensation.

Alexius is researching magic Fiona: I heard of your verdict on Alexius, Inquisitor. Research on your behalf is almost too kind. I hope you know what you’re doing. Do be wary of anything that man proposes.

Alexius imprisoned Fiona: I heard of your verdict on Alexius, Inquisitor. After what he did, I would have seen the man hanged. Rotting in a dungeon with have to do.

Alexius executed Fiona: I heard of your verdict on Alexius, Inquisitor. It was what he deserved. I hope it serves as a warning for anyone, magister or no, who thinks of trying that again.

1 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: You were a Grey Warden? [2]
  • Investigate: You still lead the mages? [3]
  • Investigate: How did Alexius take control? [4]
  • General: Everything is well? [5]
  • General: Carry on. [6]

2 - Investigate: You were a Grey Warden? PC: You were once a Grey Warden? Fiona: Mine is… an unusual circumstance, Inquisitor. Normally one is part of the Order until death, but long ago I found myself stripped of what made me a Warden. They tried to reinitiate me, but nothing worked. Nor could they figure out how it happened. So I was sent to the Circle of Magi, the first Warden ever to be kicked out. Quite the achievement.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: That didn’t bother you? [7]
  • [Back to 1]

7 - Special: That didn’t bother you? PC: You sound happy about it. Fiona: Becoming a Warden seemed like a dream when I was first conscripted. Towards the end, however, my brothers and sisters… they felt I had somehow cheated death. I was glad to leave. It also made me unique in the Circle. I had an opportunity to do more than I ever could as a Warden.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: You started the rebellion. [8]
  • [Back to 1]

8 - Special: You started the rebellion. PC: You mean you began the mage rebellion. Fiona: I pushed for our vote to free the Circles of Magi, but I cannot claim sole responsibility for what followed. Still, despite all the chaos, I would do it again. What happened had to happen. [back to 1]

3 - Investigate: You still lead the mages? PC: You’re not still the grand enchanter, then? Fiona: Any claim I had to the title ended along with the Circles of Magi, although some still call me by it. Perhaps the Circles will one day be resurrected. If so, another will take the position. Until that time, I lead my fellow mages by default. I will do what I can for them.

Dialogue options:

  • Special: The Circles will return? [9]
  • [Back to 1]

9 - Special: The Circles will return? PC: You believe they’ll recreate the Circle of Magi, after all this? Fiona: It depends on who the next Divine is, and what she offers. We can’t go back to the way things were… but endless warfare benefits no one. That is why I agreed to Justinia’s Conclave. There must be another solution.

4 - Investigate: How did Alexius take control? PC: I’ve been meaning to ask: how exactly did the Venatori take control in Redcliffe? Fiona: Mages constantly found their way to us while we were there. Stragglers. Most of them strangers. I had no way of knowing some were actually Tevinter. They spread whispers, encouraged talk of an alliance… and we were desperate. I’m not proud of our choice, but we were certain templars were coming. It could have ended far worse.

5 - General: Everything is well? PC: I trust everything is well with the mages?

  • Fiona (conscripted): Some struggle with the idea we are once again subject to control… but we are enduring.
  • Fiona (conscripted): A few malcontents claim you’ve put us in a new Circle, but most are relived to be safe.
  • Fiona (allied): Most are pleased with the alliance, even if we wonder what will happen next.
  • Fiona (allied): We’re mostly relieved. An alliance with the Inquisition offers security, although who knows for how long?
  • Fiona: There have been a few scuffles with your templars, but overall it is going well.

6 - General: Carry on. PC: I’ll leave you to it.

If Alistair rules Fiona: Before you go, Inquisitor, a question? In Redcliffe, after we left, did you perhaps speak with King Alistair? Considering who you are…

PC: He wasn’t in the mood to talk.

Fiona: It’s just that… I knew his father, Maric, back when I was a Warden.

Dialogue options:

  • General: I could introduce you. [10]
  • General: That’s interesting. [11]
  • General: And…? [12]

10 - General: I could introduce you. PC: You want me to smooth things over with him? Introduce you? Fiona: No, it’s too late for that. [13]

11 - General: That’s interesting. PC: Oh? That’s rather interesting. Does he know that? Fiona: No, he doesn’t. And he shouldn’t. [13]

12 - General: And…? PC: And what? You were hoping that would patch things up with him? Fiona: No, it’s too late for that. [13]

13 - Scene continues.

Fiona: I only wanted to know if he was happy. His… father had such hopes for him. Don’t mind me, Inquisitor. The concerns of an old woman, nothing more.


Morrigan

Investigate

The PC speaks with Morrigan in the gardens.

Morrigan: My [lord/lady] Inquisitor. Morrigan: Wandering the gardens, I see. Morrigan: Greetings, Inquisitor.

1 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: Tell me more about you. [2]
  • Investigate: Thoughts on the Inquisition? [3]
  • Investigate: What are you working on? [4]
  • Investigate (after the Temple of Mythal): You know about elven lore? [5]
  • Investigate (after meeting Flemeth): Did Flemeth tell the truth? [6]
  • Investigate (after the Final Piece): What will you do now? [7]
  • General: Goodbye. [8]

2 - Investigate: Tell me more about you. PC: I’d like to know more about you.

Morrigan: Ah, yes. Whence comes the mystery woman, slinking her way into the Inquisition’s ranks? Once, I was an apostate, living well away from the banal influence of the Chantry in the Kokari Wilds. Then came the Fifth Blight with its darkspawn, and I left Ferelden for the empress’s court. ‘Tis certain the nobles of Orlais breathe a collective sigh of relief that I am now here.

Morrigan (if asked before): If you have questions, then ask.

9 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: You were in the Fifth Blight? [10]
  • Investigate: You’re an apostate. [11]
  • Investigate: Why the Orlesian court? [12]
  • Investigate (if Morrigan had Kieran): Tell me about Kieran. [13]

10 - Investigate: You were in the Fifth Blight? PC: You were in Ferelden during the Blight? Morrigan: The Blight began in the Kokari Wilds, so yes—I experienced it firsthand. Indeed, I fought at the Hero of Ferelden’s side for a time. [They are] the reason the Blight was defeated. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Morrigan (HoF went through eluvian with Morrigan): We… became close, closer than I ever thought possible. When I left, he perused me. Morrigan (HoF romanced, did not go through eluvian): We were… very close. It was difficult to leave him. Morrigan (not romanced, did ritual with HoF): In the end, what he did for me… I will always be grateful. Morrigan (did ritual with Alistair/Loghain): I wish things had gone differently in the end. It had to be, yet… Morrigan (not romanced, did not do ritual): We did not part on good terms. I regret a great deal, but that most of all. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Morrigan: And after that, I can to Orlais. The last place one would look for me, or such was my hope. [back to 9] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 11 - Investigate: You’re an apostate. PC: It’s odd that an apostate can live so… openly. Morrigan: (Chuckles.) It confuses those who expect apostates to cower and hide. I stand boldly before them and demand to know why I need some Chantry mage to teach me to control my power. They would put me on a leash so they can feel safer at night? I am uninterested in their comfort. Naturally, it helps to have friends in high places. [back to 9] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 12 - Investigate: Why the Orlesian court? PC: The Orlesian court seems like an odd place to find someone like you. Morrigan: That was the point, originally. I knew the empress was intrigued by the arcane, and that I could answer question no Chantry mage could. Thus we fit together nicely. I became her advisor and she my benefactor and source of refuge. Morrigan (Celene died): The moment Celene perished, my time in court was done. I do not miss it overmuch. [back to 9] Morrigan (Celene lived): Truth be told, our arrangement would not have lasted much longer. Too many wagging tongues, even for Celene. [back to 9] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 13 - Investigate: Tell me about Kieran. PC: Tell me more about your son. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Morrigan (Old God Kieran): He is very special young man. PC: Special in what way? Morrigan: In every way. At first, Kieran was a means to an end but as he grew… I never thought of myself, Inquisitor, I had no good example to follow. I find myself becoming something I can barely recognize. [back to 9] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Morrigan (Human Kieran): I had him before I came to Orlais. He… is a delight, truly. PC: You sounds surprised by that. Morrigan: More than you can know. Kieran changed me. I will protect him to my last breath, if I must. [back to 9]

3 - Investigate: Thoughts on the Inquisition? PC: Now that you’ve seen the Inquisition up close, what are your impressions?

Morrigan: ‘Tis remarkable, what you have built. I will give you that.

Morrigan (secrets perks highest): Leliana has built a network of spies beyond anything Thedas has seen. Morrigan (forces perks highest): Soldiers are camped outside Skyhold in numbers that would give any nation pause. Morrigan (connections perks highest): A web of favors has wrapped every noble family in southern Thedas around your fingers. Morrigan (all perks equal/Inquisition perks highest): You have an army, a web of agents, and political favors owed you from every major played.

Morrigan: All this in precious little time, conjured from thin air through the power of fervor alone. I wonder if Corypheus suspects what he was enabling, just as I wonder what will become of all this once he is defeated.

Dialogue options:

  • General: First we must defeat him. [14]
  • General: I’m not sure what’s next. [15]
  • General: The Inquisition will continue. [16]

14 - General: First we must defeat him. PC: We have to defeat him first. Then I’ll worry about what’s next. Morrigan: Should that happen, the world will lie at your feet… more or less. [17] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 15 - General: I’m not sure what’s next. PC: I have no idea what will happen once all this is over. Morrigan: Do you not? No doubt there will be countless men and women with suggestions. [17] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 16 - General: The Inquisition will continue. PC: Whatever happens, the Inquisition will survive. Morrigan: That alone is worthy of wonder. A new player on the stage, a figure of might and marvel. [17] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 17 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Morrigan: Beware the heights you reach, Inquisitor. When this is done, many will be eager to knock you back down. [back to 1]

4 - Investigate: What are you working on? What have you been doing to help us?

Morrigan: Currently, my efforts are focused on determining what Corypheus is and where his power comes from. The elven orb he carries is what draws my attention. I wonder if the power he used to tear open the Fade in fact came from the orb. Perhaps it is even the source of your Anchor. If I learn of its origin, I may also learn what Corypheus now intends—as well as his weaknesses.

18 - Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: Would you fight alongside me? [19]
  • Investigate: What about his dragon? [20]
  • Investigate: Could he become a god? [21]
  • General: I appreciate your efforts. [22]
  • General: We have little information. [23]
  • General: I need more from you. [24]

19 - Investigate: Would you fight alongside me? PC: I could use your company for my excursions outside Skyhold. Morrigan: I have spent my share of time wandering the wilderness in the company of others, Inquisitor. Thank you for the invitation, but for now, I will restrict my efforts to researching the arcane. [back to 18]

20 - Investigate: What about his dragon? PC: Do you know anything about his dragon? Morrigan: It has the appearance of an Archdemon. Of that I am certain. A true Archdemon, however, is supposedly the corrupted form of an Old God. Has Corypheus actually dug up one of the ancient prisons? If so, why has a new Blight not begun? His dragon is something else, something connected to his blighted nature as well as his magic. Beyond that, I cannot say. [back to 18]

21 - Investigate: Could he become a god? PC: Is it even possible that Corypheus could succeed? Morrigan: The Black City exists. Wherever one goes into the Fade, it is visible in the sky. The last time Corypheus and his cohorts stormed its doors, the unleashed the Blight upon the world. This time? Perhaps he might indeed gain untold power, becoming something unto a god. It is also possible he could unleash something far worse than the Blights. So yea, Corypheus could succeed in his goal. If not, his attempt alone could destroy the world.

Dialogue options:

  • Investigate: He thinks I’m his rival. [24]
  • [Back to 18]

24 - Investigate: He thinks I’m his rival. PC: Corypheus says I’m a rival. Does that mean… Morrigan: Could you become a god? That depends: are you prepared to use your Anchor to enter the Black City?

Dialogue options:

  • General: Definitely not. [25]
  • General: I don’t know how. [26]
  • General: Yes, if I could. [27]

25 - General: Definitely not. PC: No. Never. Morrigan: Tell Corypheus that and see if he believes you. [back to 18]

26 - General: I don’t know how. PC: I… wouldn’t know how, if that’s even possible. Morrigan: Perhaps Corypheus fears the moment you learn. [back to 18]

27 - General: Yes, if I could. PC: If the Anchor would let me do that? Absolutely. Morrigan: Then Corypheus is correct. You are a rival. [back to 18]

22 - General: I appreciate your efforts. PC: However you can help, it’s appreciated. Morrigan: I am doing what I can. In time, we shall see what more I can offer you. [back to 1]

23 - General: We have little information. PC: We know so little about Corypheus. Morrigan: Continue prodding at Corypheus, Inquisitor. Elicit a reactions, and we may yet learn from it. [back to 1]

24 - General: I need more from you. PC: Someone of your skills could do more. Morrigan: I am doing what I can. In time, we shall see what more I can offer you. [back to 1]

5 - Investigate: You know about elven lore? PC: You seem to know a great deal about elven lore. Morrigan: The Dalish are not the only ones interested in the distant past, Inquisitor. Indeed, my skills allow me access to places the Dalish dare not even dream of. The ancient elves hold secrets they have not yet given up, secrets about the foundation of Thedas itself. Thus, they are my focus. Corypheus clearly feels the same. [back to 1]

6 - Investigate: Did Flemeth tell the truth? PC: Do you trust what Flemeth told us? Morrigan: About what she is? I… am uncertain. I knew there was more to her than I realized, that she was not truly human—but this? I once found her grimoire, and that was where I learned her immortality was gained by stealing the bodies of her daughters. Flemeth claims I misunderstood: “It is not forced on the unwilling.” Meaning I might agree to such a thing? Impossible, yet there seemed an undeniable sense of truth to the things she told us. All my years spent hunting for arcane mysteries, and the greatest was the one I left behind. [back to 1]

7 - Investigate: What will you do now? PC: So what do you intend to do now?

Morrigan (Morrigan drank, had Kieran): Once Corypheus is defeated, I will take Kieran and leave. Morrigan (Morrigan drank, no Kieran): Once Corypheus is defeated, I will undoubtedly move on. Morrigan (PC drank, Morrigan had Kieran): Now? I will take Kieran and leave. Morrigan (PC drank, no Kieran): Now? I will move on. You have what you need to face Corypheus.

Morrigan (Morrigan drank): Where I will go is is uncertain. I must consider the fact that Flemeth may have plans for me. I am, after all, her servant. Such a delight. Yet we must now consider the coming battle. I hope all I learned from the well proves worthwhile. [back to 1]

Morrigan (PC drank): You are her servant, but I am her daughter. I doubt she will let me slip completely from her clutches. Whatever happens, I wish you well in the coming battle, Inquisitor. [back to 1]

8 - General: Goodbye. PC: I’ll leave you to the garden. Morrigan: As you like. Morrigan: Until next time, then. Morrigan: Of course.
