[nonsibi]

WHO: Bellamy, Church, Clarke, Cosima, Fenris
WHAT: Orzammar asked for the Inquisition to come fix Thedas' very first underground rift, and our brave heroes are just the heroes for the job. The Inquisition has also asked our heroes to heroically take the measure of those controlling the Inquisition's lyrium contract, in hopes of softening them up to renegotiate for a better price. And then there's that dead dwarf....
WHEN: vaguely Justinian
WHERE: Orzammar
NOTES: at least one dead body

starters for each piece of this mission are in the comments!

[The constant ache is something he can understand all too well. It may not be at all the same circumstances, but in some ways this does help him understand this aspect of rifters a little better. A lot better.]

It's probably for the best not to get too used to it... then you'll start accepting it. [Has he gotten too used to his own... alteration? That's something he'll have to ponder some more, soon.]

Magic is unnatural and dangerous, and has only ever ultimately caused more harm than good. [He pauses a moment.] I don't mean to frighten you. But that's my way of agreeing... you're right to be wary of it.

I mean, I'm a little more worried about what it's actually doing than the ache itself. Anything that can close a rip in reality without me understanding how it works...

[She shrugs.]

My world doesn't have magic at all, as far as I know. It's hard for me to get a sense of what different people here consider 'normal,' sometimes.

Count yourself fortunate to have grown up in a world free of magic.

[For all the positives it might have, the negative aspects of magic far outweigh those. Always.]

I don't know if there's a such thing as normal around here either, but generally having a glowing shard in your hand is far from it. Let's hope they'll start to understand more about it, in time.
