Ah- no. I may have gotten slightly ahead of that part, but... the reflections came to be after we had averted the end of our world. The end result of a division among our remaining people, when it came to our path moving forward.

I see.

[ Sort of. He sees slightly better, at least, through the strange murkiness of the entire story. ]

So when you said the world was broken—you were part of breaking it.

[arkitect]

I suppose we all were, yes.

[In the sense that their inability to come to a consensus led to it-- but explaining that is the part he likes discussing the least, not to mention that he is well aware of the reputation sacrificial magic has in Thedas. A few moments of silence pass, before:]

You will have to forgive me for being somewhat-- sparse, on the more unpleasant details of the situation, but... a great number of our people lost their lives in our efforts to avert the apocalypse. Those of us who served our deity believed we could bring them back. That it was in fact our responsibility to our people to restore them; others, however, believed our responsibility to the world took precedence, and we ought to leave them be. Leave the world as it was, after our god had restored it.

There was no real compromise, on such a point, and the deity which the dissenters summoned to oppose the first was the one who sundered our world. Struck him with a blow so great it shattered everything along with him.
