By attacking the Inquisition, Corypheus has changed it.. Changed you.

Arana looked back at the long trail of people following behind her, a frown tugging at her lips. They'd been walking for at least a couple weeks. So many injured.. Some didn't make it. Exhaustion loomed over them and supplies were running low. Yet they all marched on, putting their faith on her shoulders.

Scout to the north. Be their guide.

The elven mage turned her cerulean gaze forward and pressed on, clambering up some large rocks to get a better view. Looking out over the endless expanse of snowy mountain peaks, the task at hand seemed daunting and impossible. A hawk cawed in the distance as the sun peeked out over the mountain tops. Arana turned her attention to Solas as he too continued just ahead of her.

There is a place waiting for a force to hold it.

Hopping down from where she stood, Arana quickly caught up with him. She could only hope that they would reach their destination soon. For the sake of all who now followed her lead. Several long minutes passed as the two lead on.

There is a place where the Inquisition can build… Grow…

Coming upon the edge of the mountain pass, the two shared a  brief glance. And once they reached the top, Solas stopped and looked out into the distance. With bated breath, Arana followed his gaze. All at once, she saw it. And in that instant, she knew: they made it.  Standing in awe and staring at the grand fortress ahead, she slowly took a few steps forward; Solas watching her as a single word passed his lips.
