There are times Morrigan has jested, or what has passed for it, that she might not be of Flemeth's body, Flemeth's blood. She knew those things for a lie years ago. But the Crossroads confirmed it if it needed confirming, that she is Flemeth's child and not a stolen Chasind girl left out to die as some are or taken away by the Mother of Vengeance because who would dare deny her? It could only be her and no one else uncovering what she did in the way that she did, her magic from her mother, her education honed in a way no other mage could claim. The Dalish have their ways, the Circles too. But Morrigan? Morrigan is a witch before she is a mage, before she is an apostate.
A small but so very vital thing in her own mind and perhaps that has ever made all the difference.
"The Dread Wolf Fen'Harel tricked all the Creators and locked them away, perhaps in some way the eluvians were involved in all of that or if what Tevinter did corrupted them when Arlathan sank, when all the Ages of hardship began for the elves and they must bear the strain as do the people. Whatever cause, it could be that t'was stupidity and misfortune: two young people stumble upon a thing and dare to reach out instead of turning. What might you have done as a young woman seeing such a wondrous thing before you?" Unlike a boiling pot, the child does not get a chance to learn with an eluvian or with many magical things. That the tale spread is enough, a sign that the warning was understood; this is a dangerous thing, do not lose your youngfolk to it we have so few we can afford to throw away foolishly.
(The Keeper of Clan Ashara it seems was not made aware that the Inquisition was very much the same as that eluvian, if she has one returning to her at the end of all this, Morrigan will be amazed.)
"There is a thing I must do that requires me to look to Sundermount then perhaps to look back, a personal matter more than that of the Inquisition; I may leave for a time and it may take my attention elsewhere than the eluvians. If you wish to have a part in the question, it is yours."
