With their proximity to Sundermount - a thing that casts such a shadow over Morrigan it's a wonder there's any light that can pierce it at all - then they're lucky. A rare sort of luck too when this is the Inquisition and after a success such as they experienced in Val Royeaux then they're overdue some sort of catastrophe, some embarrassment. Something that they should learn from but don't because look to the world and watch it tell the same tale ten times, a hundred, a thousand, walking upon bones and blood under they grind into dust and mud beneath heels.
"There is much I have learned from them thus far, the overlaps in so many tales where none might expect them, where all seems so very different until that one vital thing. How often there comes a dragon. Demons that lurk in the margins." A slow smile, mist on the moors the sun hasn't yet burned away yet. "Where they come from and how they all find their way here and not the many paths of the Fade. Or elsewhere."
The look is not insignificant. Morrigan had forbidden those who had come through her eluvian with her to speak of it at the time but times have changed, plans have changed, there is perhaps a need and Ellana...Ellana she thinks will understand necessity.
But it's Kieran's turn as he smiles, folding the book shut enough to show Ellana the cover; someone's attempt to depict an Ash Warrior (someone who has likely never seen an Ash Warrior). "How the berserkers came to be. Well, this chapter tells that story, it has lots of warrior histories. Rogues like to keep their histories hidden away and mages..." Even someone Kieran's age knows that mage histories are basically bullshit.
