Nothing much happens in Recruiting the Warden. It's pretty much a rehash of Duncan's backstory from The Calling.

The Hero's Party section is the meat of this week. Extra history about the party members from DAO! Lots of fun stuff like the Templars held a tournament to see who could get chosen by the Wardens. Alistair wasn't even a part of it until Duncan asked for him to be included, and he was then picked despite not winning. And there was a Congressional Landsmeet Investigation into the circumstances of his birth in the aftermath of the game, but it was inconclusive

Marjolaine. I think Majorline is a brand of cigarettes ;)

Would Marjolaine smoke Majorline?

I do have a talking point, but I'm rushed. Will post it tomorrow, stay tuned!

I wonder what "The Stone lives beneath Orlais" and that dwarvish phrase about sacrifice are referring to. (Probable something related to the Titans, but that's all I got)

That was going to be my discussion point. I had a screenshot and everything.

I completely didn't catch the part about Sketch. I wonder what he was up to? Well, he was attacked by Qunari in his DA2 quest, yelling very loudly that he'd never even been to Par Vollen. But then, in that same quest, he claims to never have been to Denerim, either, and we know that he has.

So Aeonar is apparently a very shitty place to be. No wonder the thought of being sent there scares people so much.

Next week! Neeeeeext week!

*looks at opening post* Oh, right. I forgot you split this chapter in two. Next week, then.

The systems are falling apart! Panic! PANIC!

Just FYI. Next week's post will be going live an hour early due to work stuff. I don't think anyone but me will notice.
