"You've read the Chant of Light by now, right? That's all about the Maker's bruised ego. Because of the actions of a few, he turned his back on his creations. He did it when mortals were seduced by jealous spirits into worshiping the Old Gods and because the magistered dared to reach the Golden City, so he cursed them into becoming darkspawn. If creating the Blights that have nearly destroyed the world five times by now isn't disproportionate retribution, I don't know what is. And then he did it again when Andraste was betrayed and martyred, once again condemning everyone else for the actions of a few. His ego is so easily bruised that if he returned, I bet he would leave again just because someone sneezed wrong."
