ok fun accent hc time since I saw it around recently, but the way I build Ferelden is very 3-prong uk: british-irish-welsh and the latter two are much stronger towards the north. So Nanna for most of her life spoke in a softer variance of Heightened Received Pronunciation, which tends to be more or less what you grow into in Ferelden's Circle, counting for variance of region a mage is coming from, but in the 10+ years she's spent in Amaranthine has given her a twang of a much stronger Southern Welsh accent.
