Orion Aeducan and his companions Fellow Grey Warden Alistair, the powerful daughter of the "Witch of the Wilds" Morrigan, and Ares the Mabari had made it Lothering in order to gain supplies. Tired from their long journey here and kicking those pathetic excuse for bandits out of the town for extorting the refugees they just want to grab a drink and maybe a meal. Aftering looking around He and Alistair stumbled in the nearest tavern while Morrigan mocked there tiredness.
As they entered the the tavern they where ambushed by a bunch of thugs. Alistair said they where Loghains men. Orion was ready to Draw his blades when he heard a heavenly sound.
"Now gentleman surely there's no need for trouble. These are no doubt more poor souls seeking refuge." Said a redheaded chantry sister.
Dispite her best efforts violence couldn't be avoided. To Orion's surprise she not only helped him and his but was an incredible fighter. She moved with the grace or a dancer but the deadly combat skill of a silent sister. He had never seen anything like it. With one left she pleaded mercy for the person. Orion decided to endulge her just this, she earned that much when she helped him.
"By the stone that was incredible fighting." Orion said.
"Thank you." She said "My name is Leliana"
"Orion" He introduced himself as.
She had asked to join their cause to stop the blight. She said she had some kind of divine vision about coming along on their journey. Alistair and Morrigan protested alittle especially with that reasoning, Orion however aloud her to come along. While he wasn't really sure about this "vision" he knew she could handle herself well in a fight. This a decision he would not later regret and would change the life of both him and her forever.
