If you are hoping the Dalish hold miracles, child, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Even if the demon is driven out, the soul is left scarred. It can never recover. Not truly. Like a wounded animal, it will fall prey to scavengers. The only cure is death.

#lucanis dellamorte #datv #datv spoilers #dragon age #DA2 #keeper marethari #merrill #juuuuuust dropping this here. bc MK wrote Merrill. who was willing to pay Audacity's price for the good of her people #but a trusted familial figure undermined her. and their conflict about the demon quickly became a tragedy #not to say that this lore will carry into datv! it probably won't be so black and white.#but dragon age writers love to remind us that we cannot control the fallout from our actions. especially where spirits are concerned.#DA LOVES A HEARTBREAKING CONSEQUENCE. you don't get that if there's no heart involved. no vulnerability #Lucanis says (presumably about Spite & the Ossuary): We both did what we had to do to get out of there.#while the Trusted Figure responsible for his trauma says: I acted for the good of the family & NEVER expected this would be the consequence
