The mere mention of that city's name sent a shiver down Gerald's spine. He had left with reason and to go back to it so soon? No. Not now. 

[color=f26522]"The city of chains is not a place we should go to. Rivers and water would hinder us in getting there. Besides what is there to gain there? Nothing. Go to Starkhaven. Zealots and worms live there but they probably could afford to pay us more than a city still rebuilding from events that happened there."[/color] Gerald said plainly as he stirred his soup.

[color=f26522]"The deep roads though as I said are fraught with unknown mysteries. The Red Lyrium could be down there and that is what drove many templars to madness. We'd do well to avoid the deep roads as long as possible. Besides I don't intend on getting near a darkspawn. I enjoy my freedom as it is without the need to become a grey warden. Whatever happens to wardens is directly linked to dark spawn and while they are on the surface now in some places they are still in bulk in the ground. The dwarves we fools to dig too deep and too greedily into a place long forsaken by many. Just because the wardens say they are clear doesn't mean they are. Or have you forgotten what the Inquisitor told the people the of the world about what they thought they were doing at adamant? Coerced by a cultist thought to be their salvation."[/color]
