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.
