Karash: We think of air as being nothing, but if you have felt a driving wind, you know it has weight. On a calm sunny day, the air rests on you like a warm thick blanket. When the storm is coming, the air pushes on you less. We say that it is afraid, running from the storm.
Rowan: With their pain acknowledged, the spirits can rest. And so can you, my friend.
Eldrin: It's the nature of nature to surprise us.
Evka & Antoine: The blight feels relentless most of the time. We see what it does up close. / The world dying. How it spreads. But we keep going. / And it won't get better quickly. I still like the flowers though.
Ivenci: What would you know ... about the city I love.
Fragments of Mythal-Dragon Age the Veilguard (Codexes: The Elven People)
Excerpt of a letter from Seer Rowan of the Lords of Fortune to Emmrich and Bellara:
It is fascinating to hear of your group's encounter with the fragment of Mythal. If the elven gods are indeed spirits who manifested, they were complex enough to hold a variety of impulses and emotions. When Mythal was "killed," each fragment might represent one part of her personality.
Excerpt of Bellara's reply:
Yes! When I asked the Dalish about Flemeth—she carried Mythal before Morrigan did—I learned that among the Dalish clans, she was known as Asha'bellanar, respected as a mage even though she was human. It sounds like even though she wasn't trying to rule anymore, she still wanted to help. Or meddle. Mythal and Flemeth both liked to meddle.
Excerpt of Emmrich's reply:
Indeed. It raises the question of whether the fragment of Mythal that Morrigan carries was more naturally tied to guidance and wisdom than the more imperious spirit we met in the Crossroads. They may be different facets of Mythal's personality: the mentor, as opposed to the ruler. The fragments may have also originally been closer in personality, deviating over the years. One imagines Flemeth's fragment must have changed after centuries spent with mortals, and perhaps the Crossroads fragment grew frustrated by her own inability to affect the outside world.
It could also very well be a mixture of the above. A spirit, like any person, may affect others and be affected by others in turn.
