WHO: Everyone, the Dalish in particular
WHAT: A shrine.
WHEN: Backdated, Wintermarch sometime, before the Skyhold rift.
WHERE: The back corner of the garden.
NOTES: Not so much a log as a thing that is now available. Feel free to comment with IC reactions and interactions.

In the back corner of the garden, near a sprawling growth of arbor blessing, a willow sapling has been planted. Propped against it, to help it grow straight, are a rudely-carved staff of oak and an unworked branch of cedar.

Three large flat stones have been placed flat on the grass in a circle around the little trunk. Etched into each is a name:
Ashara, Dahlasanor, Sabrae

On Dahlasanor's stone are written several names of the fallen.

Behind the sapling and etched into the stone wall of the garden, in a space cleared of vines:

in Uthenera ne revas

Cyril doesn't believe in the gods. It's an opinion he has kept mostly to himself. He'll express it if pushed but otherwise he sees no harm in allowing people to believe in things that can't be proven. If anything, he feels a bit of envy towards those who experience faith so easily.

He still feels comforted by the appearance of the tree. Despite his own lack of faith, shrines and traditions have always given him a sense of community. Even with so many faces proudly wearing their vallaslin within Skyhold's walls, the Inquisition was still largely human and therefore largely alien.

Most of the time when he's around the shine, he's with Pel. Sometimes he comes alone though. It's a nice place to sit and think.
