Matters Of Introduction

[tis_disapproval]

And so, dear readers, I embark upon further adventure amidst what can only be surmised, from your own various writings, as incompetence, foolery and opportunity for murder...

All in all, I think I shall feel rather at home.

In the course of writing this, however, 'twould be considerate for me to make of myself an introduction, no? To that end, you may know me as Morrigan. A name which, so I am told, will mean precious little to you - and be thankful for it, lest you wish to live by aimless superstition.

I am also told you know nothing of the Chantry, Templars or the like. That you've mages who've the good sense to remain free of authority's shackles. In this, I am sure we would find agreement, for subjugation is no fertile soil for the nurturing of empowerment.

I admit, being summoned by the title of... Warden will take a little getting used to. In truth, I would prefer this not to be the case, if this can be helped. It has a very particular association in my world. A profession I would prefer not to be thought of as being part of, even if once aligned with.

This shall be the end of my use for quill and paper, I think, for now.

'Tis a most unusual place, indeed...

Morrigan. Love that name.

[tis_disapproval]

You do, do you?

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. So are you a witch?

[tis_disapproval]

Oh yes... No doubt, I shall creep out of my room at night to swoop down upon unprotected children and devour them whole, before turning you all into bats.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Fine. Sorceress or whatever. It's all the same, really.

[tis_disapproval]

One could say this... One could say a lot of things and, indeed, I have been named many of them.

Nonetheless, I'll offer you the benefit of the doubt, in hope of your not having been swayed by tales of the Korcari Wilds.

In which case, yes. Yes, I am.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Never heard of them. I'm a sorcerer, myself.

[tis_disapproval]

And were you shackled in your world?

Many are... Even if only by worship or tutelage.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, by worship, I guess. I was bound by tutelage, but my original master abandoned me.

You'd like the name of the sorceress I worshipped, though.

[tis_disapproval]

I give you my absolute assurance it wasn't me.

Nevertheless, it seems they did you a favour.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Who did me a favor?

[tis_disapproval]

Surely, you were granted liberation through their abandonment, no?

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

I don't think so, no.

[tis_disapproval]

And why not? Certainly, you shouldn't consider yourself beholden to them... Not without leverage involved

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

No. He was like...a parental figure to me.

[tis_disapproval]

Some parents are not best suited to the care of a child. If freedom is all you have, then rejoice in what it gives you.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Right.
