Upon realizing the extent of Cole's Grey Warden knowledge, Inessa stiffens in surprise. It figures he would learn what few outside the order are ever meant to know, for good reason. "Understanding is one thing, but...if that knowledge is widespread, it could still mean the death of the order regardless. If others knew what to expect, realized the depth of that sacrifice, recruits would dwindle to practically nothing. That would be...problematic when the next blight strikes."

If no Grey Wardens still exist, then how will the new archdemon be stopped? Such questions doubtless keep the senior Wardens awake at night, even those sane enough to refuse Clarel's path of extremism. There are at least two more Blights to go, if legend is correct.

Garahel comes charging back, weaving his way around people with single-minded purpose. Fortunately, he's fast enough that no one is knocked over by his antics.
