"Some, on our way to join the Inquisition. It is good that some manage to have protection out there." Not everyone is a skilled fighter, and Ellana has seen enough fallen bodies of the innocent caught in the crossfire to never want to again.

"That's why I'm here. I want to help the defenseless while the Inquisition figures out a way to put the world back to right." She knows how to fight, and she'll do what she can to hold off their enemy as long as she's able. It's good that the Inquisition has taken in the mages, because she knows her skills will be useful and welcome here.
