THE MAKER APPEARS TO ANDRASTE: Eyes sorrow-blinded, in darkness unbroken / There 'pon the mountain, a voice answered my call. / "Heart that is broken, beats still unceasing, / An ocean of sorrow does nobody drown. / You have forgotten, spear-maid of Alamarr / Within My creation, none are alone."

ANDRASTE RAISES AN ARMY AGAINST TEVINTER: Those who oppose thee shall know the wrath of heaven.

13. The Fire of the Dove / Epiloque - Anonymous 4
THE BURNING: Though the fire enveloped her like a shroud, and the heat from the blaze reached across the field, Andraste was silent and did not cry out. And the legionnaires who stood guard nearby were shaken, and began to whisper among themselves: "Is she truly the servant of a god?"
("...you were greatly blessed when the Word of God steeped you in the fire of the dove / where you illumined like the dawn.")
