I don't know what it means. Is it allegory? I don't even know where father got this... mess of rambling. He spent his whole life figuring out that it pointed to objects in the Emerald Graves, and now I have to finish the job. This is going to kill me. Why would his dying wish be that I figure it out? What sort of father asks that of a son?

  • Beyond Andraste's Mercy, a hundred steps to revelation: I don't know what it means. Is it allegory? I don't even know where father got this... mess of rambling. He spent his whole life figuring out that it pointed to objects in the Emerald Graves, and now I have to finish the job. This is going to kill me. Why would his dying wish be that I figure it out? What sort of father asks that of a son? # Here is my soul, trapped in a cage of bone. # Here is my past, forgotten in the bleak winds. # Arching above outstretched wings. Even stone can rise. # But the sky is a cruel mistress, and wants for my life. # A goblet of my blood, on a table of ashes. Where can eye stand? # Turn around, face the shadows. Do not blink. # Halls of whispers carry secrets even the moon does not know. # Roses and daisies for her love. Where he stands, no one can fall. # Dragonslayers, four at the northwest, two from the northeast, three from the southeast. # They begged mercy from the woman crowned with grace and stars. # Cannons at her head, mountains at her feet; she is the Mother of Faith. # Beyond Andraste's Mercy, a hundred steps to revelation. # Cradle the cat on a sling of silk, and say "Never will the dove call more." # An upward pointing finger, there your heart lies. # But the spear pierces the eye of the tiger, and the prey is the hunter. # Blades of glass beneath my feet; I walk the path of the flame. # Beneath the stones of sacrifice, find the truth. # On the back of the wind. # In the palm of fortune. # At the first breath of sighs.
