Take a little trip.

“So what's this matter you wanted to discuss in private, Leliana?” you question the spymaster as she escorts you halfway across the Winter Palace to a private room that houses the Eluvian. Inside, you also find Empress Celene’s elven lover Briala whose presence you find a bit puzzling.

"My people and I have been using these Eluvians to run messages across Thedas,” Briala speaks. “In actuality, only a handful of Eluvians are still active but last night this long-disabled Eluvian was activated and a Qunari soldier came through.”

“If that’s true...” you scratch your chin at the possibility of Qunari invasion. “We’re fucked."

“As much as it pains me to say,” Briala sighs. “I need your help, Inquisitor.”

“Very well,” you nod. “Let's start with some investigating. We just might be able to take one of these Qunari alive for interrogation.”

After changing into your battle attire, the three of you enter the shimmering mirror and exit the other side in the middle of elven ruins. The atmosphere is eerie but also quite beautiful.

While you explore the ruins, you fully expect someone to ambush you but that never happens. As you move further, you find several statues with strange inscriptions. Briala is able to decode bits and pieces of these messages with many of them relating to the elven god, Fen'harel.

Eventually, the trail runs cold and you find yourself with no other leads for the moment.

"Let's return to the Palace.” you offer to the two girls. “We can come back later if we need to.”

"Good suggestion, Inquisitor.” Leliana nods. “Unfortunately I can’t come with you. Duty calls.”

“What about you, Briala ? " you turn to the elf.

“As much as I’d like to, I cannot. I must tend to Celene." Briala glares at you but you shrug it off.

The three of you jump back through the Eluvian and return to the Winter Palace. A scouting mission has been arranged and perhaps tomorrow you’ll be luckier.

Knowing there’s still an orgy going on at the talks, you rush back so you can enjoy the fun.
