"My people have a great many more opportunities than they think they have," Pel says bluntly. "Most of them are more concerned with licking their own wounds if they're Dalish, or day-to-day survival if they're not. I'm a published author. No human stores will sell my books, but they're there. The Inquisition is a million opportunities rolled into one. I'm a researcher, not a servant. I've lived free my whole life and I'm still free. Opportunity is where you take it."
