On heading to Adstring.

[what_heroics]

So, a war-torn city on the brink of being torn apart by mad spirits, supernatural powers and petty disputes?

This sounds like fun.

Well, that's a lie... but it does sound enough like Kirkwall to be interesting.

Let me guess, it's also filled with ragtag, underdog misfits who somehow manage to make things even worse by interfering?

Am I getting warm?

[idkfusrodahdova]

There's worse out there.

[what_heroics]

Like, say, an invasion -- a blight, if you will, of ravening hellbeasts?

Or a really big dragon?

[idkfusrodahdova]

If any such thing happens then you need not worry.

[what_heroics]

I needn't? And why not?

[idkfusrodahdova]

If any dragons appear then so shall I.

[what_heroics]

How are you going to manage that?

[idkfusrodahdova]

I shall find a way. It's my job to slay dragons after all.

[what_heroics]

Really? How do I get into a field like that?

[idkfusrodahdova]

[He shrugged.] You see a dragon, you kill it. Or you are born as a dovahkiin, like me.

[what_heroics]

I think I can manage that first bit well enough.

Tell me a bit more about the second?

[idkfusrodahdova]

The Dovahkiin is also known as the Dragonborn. A person who was born with the blood and soul of a dragon and the only one who can truely make certain that a dragon stays dead by taking in it's very soul. Thereby granting him or her the power of that dragon and allowing the Dovahkiin to learn their language almost instantly.

[what_heroics]

You wouldn't, by any chance, be able to turn into a dragon, would you?

[idkfusrodahdova]

No, though I am able to call upon dragons for help as well as use the power of their thu'um.

[what_heroics]

Thu'um, what's that?

[idkfusrodahdova]

A thu'um is a shout, or word of power spoken by dragons. [Geez, what kind of backwater world to you hail from?]

[what_heroics]

[Thedas! Where the dragons are a little less scary. Just a little.]

In the world I come from, dragons only roar. Well, maybe not "only".

They also may be archdemons, but that's another matter entirely.

[idkfusrodahdova]

[A little? One name, Alduin.]

Dragons never just roar.

And what are archdemons?

[what_heroics]

It usually involves the whole 'screaming and fire' thing.

[She tries to joke, not always well.]

Archdemons are creatures that lead the darkpawn. Blights are only ended when they're killed. I've never seen one myself, but that's the story.

[idkfusrodahdova]

...And what does this have to do with dragons?

[what_heroics]

They take the form of dragons.

[She shrugs.]

So does a certain Witch of the Wilds, though she won't share the secret of how.

[Which Hawke considers a bit stingy, but.]

[idkfusrodahdova]

Then it sounds as though I should take a trip to your world. [And slay him some archdemons.]

Although I don't understand why one would wish to be a dragon. That is, unless they have a death wish.

[what_heroics]

[She laughs.]

What about the ability to fly? And never having to look for firewood again?

[idkfusrodahdova]

You do not have to worry about not needing firewood with the thu'um. Though it does not allow you to fly.

[what_heroics]

Still, useful trick.

[idkfusrodahdova]

What? Flying?
