1	6095586	
2	6095588	My son.
3	6095589	
4	6095591	He could not be protected. Even here, in the heart of the chantry.
5	6095592	
6	6095594	Murdered in the heart of the chantry, by those who held a sacred trust.
7	6095595	
8	6095597	What hope for this city, when we fail our own so completely?
9	6095598	This is not over, Excellency. The city needs a leader.
10	6095600	It does. And I am no longer that person.
11	6095601	
12	6095603	The Arishok is still here, Excellency. You must be ready to stand up to him.
13	6095605	I cannot. I have already failed where it mattered most.
14	6095606	
15	6095608	Please, Hawke. Leave me.
16	6095609	
17	6095611	
18	6095612	At least it can't get worse. Today, anyway. It's pretty late.
19	6196327	
20	6196328	
21	6095614	You'll pardon me if I don't see the humor in the death of my son.
22	6095615	
23	6084674	
24	6092386	
25	6092391	
26	6092392	
27	6092421	All right. Time to bring this mess to the viscount's attention.
28	6092422	
29	6092388	
30	6092389	
31	6092418	Now, to present this mess to the viscount.
32	6092419	
33	6092394	
34	6084675	
35	6084677	Madness. Madness!
36	6084678	
37	6084680	It certainly is.
38	6084681	
39	6084683	Yes, Excellency.
40	6084684	
41	6084686	That's a word for it.
42	6084687	
43	6084689	Chantry involvement... even if they are fringe elements. It could not be worse.
44	6084690	
45	6185119	Her Grace had no knowledge of this affair. I trust she will deal with it swiftly.
46	6185120	
47	6167451	Sure, it could. You could suddenly realize you're completely naked, or something. <desc>Chuckles</desc>
48	6167452	
49	6167454	
50	6167455	
51	6152866	The Chantry has seen the abuses the templars get away with. Why would they not think to do the same?
52	6152867	
53	6084692	You killed them. All of them?
54	6084693	This group, at least, is crippled.
55	6084695	A mother serving the grand cleric allowed this to happen.
56	6084697	Are you quite sure? She held a blade with them? Told them to fight you?
57	6084698	
58	6084700	No, I cannot say that.
59	6084701	
60	6084703	Of course not. A blasted mother...
61	6084704	
62	6084706	You have no idea the storm these allegations would cause. It would destroy what support I do have.
63	6084707	I have had trouble with her before. She is... slippery.
64	6084709	I understand.
65	6084710	
66	6084712	This may have scared her off. She claimed this was not her intention.
67	6084714	That is something.
68	6084715	
69	6084717	I will make my inquiries. Gently. And you should be careful in your associations. For now, we have other problems.
70	6084718	
71	6084720	So many Qunari. But you killed everyone responsible? All of them?
72	6084721	To a man.
73	6084723	This group is crippled. There may be others, though.
74	6084725	Then that, at least, is something. Not that it matters now.
75	6084726	
76	6084728	We have the delegate but... I can't return the bodies to the Qunari in this state.
77	6084729	
78	6096280	We have the delegate, and... so many others... but I can't return them to the Qunari like this.
79	6096281	
80	6084731	Serah Hawke, you know the Arishok. What should I do?
81	6084732	Perhaps we can disguise the abuse. Fire will hide the severity.
82	6196209	
83	6196210	
84	6185122	
85	6185123	
86	6084734	What choice do we have? Guards.
87	6084735	
88	6084737	Hiding this would only make it worse.
89	6196212	
90	6196213	
91	6185125	
92	6185126	
93	6084739	It would, wouldn't it? I am losing my sense of how to balance this nightmare.
94	6084740	
95	6084742	I appreciate your help in this matter. As bad as this is, it could have been much worse without you.
96	6084743	
97	6084745	Kirkwall owes you. I owe you.
98	6097268	
99	6070194	
100	6070195	
101	6070197	Years of nice, quiet anxiety... gone. Along with a whole street.
102	6070475	
103	6070477	I killed the thieves responsible.
104	6070478	
105	6070481	The Qunari were blameless.
106	6070779	
107	6070482	An accident on purpose, more or less.
108	6070781	
109	6070543	Right. A mad elf, pushed by zealots, likely hidden in the very groups I have to appease.
110	6070544	
111	6070480	The Maker has a grand sense of humor.
112	6070785	
113	6073546	And the Arishok—I suspected he had no plans to leave. I didn't know it was just as annoying for him.
114	6070788	He's a hair from the edge. You need to keep everyone calm.
115	6073875	Too late, I fear. It's a shame—he was making overtures of cordialness. Your influence, no doubt.
116	6073887	
117	6070790	Keep the worst of them off his back and it will be all right.
118	6070794	But that is the problem. It has already escalated, despite your efforts. A shame.
119	6073760	
120	6070792	You could send him gold and he'd complain it was heavy.
121	6070796	And it's about to get worse. A shame, there were overtures of civility. Your influence, no doubt.
122	6073730	
123	6073889	Get to what happened.
124	6074024	
125	6073890	What happened?
126	6074026	
127	6073891	Do I want to hear what happened?
128	6073892	
129	6073894	A Qunari delegate and entourage paid me a visit. It was civil, tentative. Hopeful.
130	6074028	
131	6074030	They left my chambers with precision, but were not reported by the outer guard. They are missing almost literally from my doorstep.
132	6074031	
133	6074033	What, do you imagine, will be the Arishok's reaction?
134	6074042	I've had enough to do with the Arishok. I don't need this.
135	6196215	
136	6196216	
137	6074075	None of us do, Serah Hawke. Someone is pushing very hard, and I fear they want this to end badly.
138	6074076	
139	6092404	Speak with Seneschal Bran. Then you will see why I cannot trust anyone else with this.
140	6092405	
141	6074044	We need to get out in front of this, and fast.
142	6196218	
143	6196219	
144	6074193	I feel I have been trying to turn a stampede for some time, now. Someone is pushing very hard.
145	6074194	
146	6092395	Do the Qunari generally keep you updated?
147	6196381	
148	6196382	
149	6092397	Qunari do not disappear. They know we watch, and they are not shy about their movement.
150	6092398	
151	6092400	Speak to Seneschal Bran. He has details that show how damning this is.
152	6092401	
153	6074078	I don't know who would benefit from fighting the Qunari. But it will cost all of us.
154	6074201	
155	6070176	
156	6070177	
157	6070179	Maker, what a mess.
158	6070180	It's heading for a fall, I know it is.
159	6070181	I should spend more time with my boy. This life is too short.
160	6070182	Stepping down is looking more and more appealing.
161	6068991	
162	6068992	
163	6069026	The compound was not meant to be permanent. There are concerns the Qunari influence is... no longer contained.
164	6069152	
165	6069160	Was it ever? Kirkwall has tension enough between templar and mage, but these Qunari...
166	6069161	
167	6069163	They sit like gargoyles, waiting for Maker-knows-what, and everyone goes mad around them. Nearly four years I have stood between fanatics.
168	6069164	
169	6069166	And now this.
170	6069374	
171	6069376	Get to why I'm here.
172	6069377	
173	6069379	I trust I can help.
174	6069380	
175	6069382	Don't keep us in suspense.
176	6069383	
177	6070448	
178	6070449	
179	6069230	Leave us.
180	6069231	
181	6069385	
182	6069386	
183	6069743	Meredith at my throat, Orsino at my heels, and a city scared of heretical giants.
184	6069816	
185	6069818	Balance has held because the Qunari ask for nothing. Even the space in Lowtown was a "gift" to contain them.
186	6069835	
187	6069837	But now the Arishok has requested you. By <emp>name</emp>.
188	6069838	
189	6069910	What did you do?
190	6069183	That's my business.
191	6069911	I'm no fool. I know the Qunari are waiting for something, and it isn't rescue.
192	6069912	
193	6069752	I got his attention a couple times. I guess I impressed him, but that was years ago.
194	6069792	It makes no sense. And it doesn't matter. I just need them quiet.
195	6069927	
196	6069185	I can't help it if I make an impression.
197	6069755	Apparently not.
198	6070078	
199	6069914	You and I have had no dealings. But you've made this city your home, and it needs you.
200	6069915	
201	6069917	I remember how you helped my son. It seems you are meant to have influence above your station.
202	6069918	
203	6069920	Speak to the Arishok. Give him what he needs to keep the peace. Can you do that for Kirkwall, Serah Hawke?
204	6070126	Sounds like you'd be better off without this headache.
205	6070137	They will not leave, and we don't have the resources to force the issue.
206	6070138	
207	6070168	It is dividing the city, and my own home. My son is quite... fervent in his defense of them.
208	6070169	
209	6070171	If only we all had the luxury of remaining young and foolish.
210	6070140	At least, not in a way that would leave the city intact. If they had come to conquer, I suspect they would have done so.
211	6070128	Any idea what I can expect?
212	6070144	None. Honestly, I don't think I've heard two direct words from the Arishok.
213	6070145	
214	6070147	Other than his rather deliberate phrasing of "begone."
215	6070148	
216	6070150	If you think his asking <emp>me</emp> to notify <emp>you</emp> of this is strange, well, you would be right.
217	6070130	I've seen hate for them, but I haven't heard anything major in years.
218	6070151	Zealots are bravest where their lies can't be argued: behind closed doors.
219	6070152	
220	6070154	Chantry leaders see Qunari beliefs as a challenge, not an attack. But the message gets muddled among casual adherents.
221	6070155	
222	6185116	It is a difficult question for all of us.
223	6185117	
224	6070157	I am certainly not equipped to argue the fine points of faith.
225	6085783	The Qunari usually arrive as conquerors. Odd that this has gone on so long.
226	6085785	Very, and I have no interest in antagonizing them. That is partially why I suffer being a messenger today.
227	6085786	
228	6085788	A treaty exists and it has been honored. Although...
229	6085789	
230	6085791	You have doubts.
231	6085792	
232	6085794	They claim they're waiting for a second ship, but it has been three years. They want something else.
233	6070166	Have the years been kind to Saemus?
234	6070172	He is his own man, but your actions tempered him somewhat. He is not so angry at the world.
235	6070173	
236	6070175	I thank you for that. I may not agree with him on many things, but I am proud of what he is becoming.
237	6069921	Is this a paid position? I'm somewhat in demand.
238	6069926	You've served yourself, built a fortune. I give you that.
239	6070102	
240	6070116	But, if you—and <emp>only</emp> you—cannot calm this situation, I fear the only reliable investment will be in swords and armor.
241	6070117	
242	6070104	Serve your city and then we will talk about what you are due. The Arishok is waiting.
243	6070099	I am always willing to assist.
244	6070119	That is an attitude this city has lacked for a long time.
245	6070120	
246	6070122	Appease the Arishok. Take his demand and let him return to dormancy.
247	6070123	
248	6070125	As awkward as this has been, it is better than the alternative.
249	6069924	You must have better talkers on your staff.
250	6070092	Turned away, many times. No, this request was very specific.
251	6070096	
252	6070101	The Arishok is waiting for <emp>you</emp>.
253	6074612	
254	6205726	
255	6205727
