The astute reader will note many deviations from canon in this story. Some of these arose because this story is a coda to the Chasing Alistair/Morrigan's Daughter/Alistair's Journey cycle that was begun well before Dragon Age 2. How I imagined certain things, like the old god baby, was not how they panned out. Other changes, like Alistair having a relationship with a male Warden and the fate of the Hero of Ferelden in Dragon Age: Inquisition time, are my choice. The first because I wanted to write a story of that nature, and the second because I was dissatisfied with the vague references to the Hero of Ferelden in DA:I. I couldn't imagine my Warden being off somewhere, leaving Alistair behind, while Thedas and the Grey Wardens were in such peril. So...I've written my own story that I feel suitably ends my saga, even if it isn't what Bioware had in mind. That said, the world and many of the events and characters in this story belong to them. I am thankful for their creation, and thankful that they allow us to play in it, and with it, as I have here.
If any of my old readers remain, I welcome them back. To any new readers: While it is my intent that this story will stand alone, the first chapter may be a bit confusing. I will try and clarify some of the past for those unfamiliar with what came before, but references to the past will come gradually through the first few chapters.
