"More than I had bargained for, when I finally returned to Skyhold that was when I could truly sit down and think about it all. After we had the Rivaini mages settled."

Oh and she made two men named Malcolm duel each other to decide who could truly be called Malcolm. (And because the Inquisition is sorely lacking in duels.)

"If I could settle somewhere in Thedas, it would be Rivain. Somewhere near the sea to let me go to Antiva whenever I pleased but having this," she raises her left hand with a sigh. "It limits options for us, or so it has been noticed before."
