Aladuchar - Connor's abomination

All my life, I have battled against the darkspawn. I have led countless men, many of whom have died, in Orzammars neverending struggle in the Deep Roads. I am a stranger neither to death nor to Command. And yet, I have never felt as restless as I do now.

Morrigan has gone into the Fade to battle the demon. Despite my doubts, she was willing to enter the Fade alone and face considerable danger all because I asked it of her.

Perhaps I have misjudged her.


Jowan sends Morrigan into the Fade using the blood of the Arlessa

We have holed up in the main hall of Redcliffe Castle while we await the outcome of Morrigan's journey into the unknown. She currently lies comatose and only the occasional twitch of her body belies the peaceful facade to show the very real danger that she is in.

And while she faces mortal danger in my name, all I can do is sit here and watch her still body. No, not still. Her chest moves with every breath she takes and I pray to the Stone for this to continue for if it stops, then she will have failed and will have died alone in the Fade.

I curse myself for the moment of weakness that allowed the Arlessa's plea to sway me. I should never have agreed to send Morrigan into the Fade alone. Despite my exile from Orzammar, I am still the son of House Aeduchan. I should be on the front lines and not sitting like an old man while others fight in my name.

But it is too late now. Morrigan has already entered the Fade and all I can do is sit and curse impotently. I have no idea how long this will take. Jowan has told us that time moves differently while in the Fade and it is impossible to tell when she will return.

Assuming she returns at all.


I can only imagine the horrors that Morrigan may be facing in the Fade
