And Sylvia, did he say so yours is of the Dalish I see?
You may call me Duncan. I'm commander of the gray wardens here in Ferelden and
you are to join our order.
Narrator: The man named Duncan explains to Sylvia that there
On their way to Ostagar, which is on the edge of the Korcari Wilds, he told her
If possible, this will be the final battleground against the Darkspawn for all of
Ferelden, and beside her, he has five other recruits. When they arrive, he says for her to find
Alistair to let him know it's time for the second group.
With that, Sylvia made her way across a big bridge. When she got to the other side, she saw

She can overhear them talking.
Quartermaster: Hey, Elf, where is that chain? I asked

?: the fuck you mean human? I'm
dressed like this because I'm a grey Warden recruit.
not some common elf servant.
Sylvia: Not all elves work for humans.
Shemlen.
Quartermaster: What is a Shemlen?
?: It's an Elven ward for humans, meaning
quick children because your people die off quickly.
Sylvia: nicely put, see human, that is what it means.
Now what elf are you looking for? Do you need help finding said elf?
Quartermaster: No, that is good warden, and I mean nothing of what i say miss

Nesiahra: I only know little.
of the old language of my mom's grandmother

and I know of you because Duncan sent word of you
I'm sure every gray warden here knows of you by now.
Sylvia: I see, okay. I'm supposed to be looking for Alistair.
Do you know where he is?
Nesiahra: Last I heard, he and Charles were talking to a mage.
Follow me, and I will take you to him.
Sylvia: Okay, and who is Charles?
Nesiahra, a human Grey Warden mage recruit
from the circle.
Sylvia: I see.
Narrator: The two elves found Alistair

Alistair: We are here, Duncan.
Duncan: good the first group

Alistair: I guess you want us
to go in and find them?
Duncan: Yes, you four are going into the wilds.
You have three tasks.
One is to find some old Grey Warden treaties.
in a tower, Alistair can bring you there.
The second task is for you to find
group one, which is three recruits, and another
junior member of the order.
Nesiahra: Who are
the others, what race are they?
Do you have any other details?
Sylvia: What is the third task?
Duncan: the other junior member

and dark brown skin, one of the recruits
is a blonde human named Madison Cousland.
She has white tan skin with short blonde hair.
Another is a dwarf named Rulgiol.
His skin is light brown.
You can recognize him because he has
a brand on his left cheek.
and lastly, another male dwarf.
Alvir Aeducan, and he has
red hair, so you can't miss him.
As for your last task, you will need
three vials of darkspawn blood.
Charles: there blood?
Sylvia/Nesiahra: finally some
action!
Duncan: the
Darkspawn are not known.
for giving up there blood.

And yes, Charles, the blood is needed for the latter.

Alistair: Sylvia What do you mean
something up?
Sylvia: Alvir seems to have been killed by an axe.
Nesiahra: But the darkspawn we just killed all

Sylvia: exactly
Hey Alistair, what weapons did Madison and
Rulgiol Carry?
Alistair: Madison has a two-handed long sword.
while Rulgiol has an axe.
Charles: That traitor must have killed him!
Nesiahra: but why?
Alistair: Maybe because he was casteless.
And Alvir is a Aeducan
Sylvia: What's that? What does being an Aeducan

Alistair, the casteless

The casteless are raised without any formal education and are considered non-people.

Charles: It might be more; we will know more.

Nesiahra: Here is a question.
Where is Madison?
Alistair: Enough talking.
You three gather the blood.

and saw no sign of the treaties.
Alistair: There not here.
Sylvia: Charles How is she?
And what do you mean there not here?
Alistair?
Charles: She will live, but my spells
are not good enough, how about you?
Got any strong spells?
Sylvia: No, in this case, I don't think so.
Alistair: Like I said, there's gone.
Nesiahra: quiet everyone. I hear someone
approaching.
Narrator: The group was on high alert.
when a pale pinkish-skinned woman came around
the tower, she was wearing a skimpy black robe.
with make-up on lipstick, blush, and eyeliner
She was a beautiful sight.
I have been watching you.
for quite some time now.
Why are they here, I wonder
Where do they come from, I wonder
Now you stand here at a place that has
long been forgotten looking for something that is here no longer
in these wilds of mine
looking for something to steal.
So tell, are you grave robbers or intruders?
Alistair: Here no longer we should not trust her; she's some kind of
sneaky witch thief.
Charles: How are these your wilds?
Nesiahra: She must be a witch of the wilds.
(Witch of the Wilds is the name given to members of a group of apostate mages living in the Korcari Wilds and in the Tellari Swamps. They are not a clan, so much as a superstitious name the locals of the region have given to the infamous Flemeth and her daughters, one of whom is Morrigan and another is Yavana. The Witches of the Wilds are known to be powerful shapeshifters.

What are you afraid of Chasind folk swooping down on you?

Who may you be?
Ah, I see. You may call me Morrigan.
Your friend appears to be in a lot of pain.
Sylvia: Yes, she is. I have a question for you.
Morrigan, do you know who took what was in the chest?
Morrigan: Yes, as a matter of fact.
It was my mother.
Sylvia: Can you take Alistair and me with you to
her?
Morrigan: That's a reasonable request. I like you but why just the two of you?
I'm sure if you bring the injured woman
With us, I'm sure mother can heal her
Alistair: Watch out, Sylvia, right now.
It's I like you, then zap toad time.
Sylvia: Okay, Morrigan, Alistair.

You realize I'm a mage, right?
Alistair: Wait, you are?
Morrigan: Okay, follow me.
Narrator: The group follows Morrigan.

Unconscious and injured, Madison they arrive at a hut.
An elderly woman with short gray hair stands by the hut, as if waiting for them.
Morrigan: mother I bring before you five gray

You're looking for these, and I kept them safe.
Narrator: the elderly women

Madison: No need

Nesiahra: I met this prisoner earlier.
He had the key he swiped from the circle mage.
I got some food for him, and he gave me the key.
Sylvia: I see well.
Let's return to the others.
Nesiahra: Okay, let's.
Narrator: The two elves made their way

Duncan: I see we will

Let him go through with the joining, then sleep on it.
Tomorrow we do battle with the Darkspawn.
Madison: What he killed
two of our own!
and attacked me.
Charles: Calm down.
Let's find out why he did, then we
can all rest and sleep on it.
Sylvia: That's some Mabari shit.

Alistair:
Enough, follow me to
the location of the

for what happened.
Narrator: The recruits follow
Alistair to the location
When they arrived, they saw the last recruit.
Rulgiol.
Rulgiol: hey guys
I had no choice. I'm happy
your okay, Madison.
Sylvia: You, Ma harel Durgen'len!
Rulgiol: What did you just say to me?
Nesiahra: She said you lie, child of the Stone.
Rulgiol: I did it for Rica.
Madison: Who is Rica? You mention her
to me before you left.
Rulgiol: Rica is my older half-sister.
She began to see Prince Behlen.
Charles: Prince who?
Alistair: Behlen Aeducan

Sylvia: I see, so the joining is bloody.

Charles: But blood magic
is Evil.
Sylvia: magic by itself is not evil.
The evil is in the mage who uses it to hurt others.
That's like saying the fireball spell is evil because it can kill.
or Alistair and Madison's sword's are evil.
Duncan: Sylvia
is right, and let's continue
Alistair, if you will.
Alistair: This was said when me and Daveth
join and Ill say it now
Join us, brothers and sisters!
Join us in the shadows, where we stand vigilant.
Join us as we carry the duty that cannot be forsworn.

Sylvia heard her say, Maker, give me strength. Sylvia cast a spell called Iron Wall Giant.
While running up to the mage, she pushed the woman to the side and placed her arm up.
The ogre tried to hit her, but she would not budge. the ogre flinched his arm and screamed in pain.
Sylvia then casts winter grasp, turning the ogre into ice. She then uses the iron giant combat stance spell.
