Ellana's lips quirk up in a bit of a smile. "I suppose you haven't heard any tales of wild sylvans yet, have you?" Because that sounds similar to what exists in Thedas, proven to truly exist by Morrigan. "They are spirits or demons -- usually demons, though -- who possess a tree and twist its shape until they can become mobile. That, however, is not where ironbark comes from, though you can use that wood for things too, once the sylvan is dead."

"They say that such a life could feel weary, and so the elders would practice Uthenera. They would lie down to sleep, and it was the type of sleep that lasted years. Their consciousness would travel deep into the Fade, and they would find peace there. Some found it so peaceful that they never returned, and let their bodies wither and die. Others came out of Uthenera after many years."
