Adele Hawke's Links
Hoo boy, Dalish know some great dagger fighting tricks. Seems like she's good enough with a bow not to need them in a fight though. Remind me not to challenge her to an archery competition again
Varric's stories sounded outlandish, but turned out to be pretty accurate. Hawke is eccentric, sure, but very dependable. And fun to talk to.
I faintly remember people talking about a dwarf running around Lothering shortly before the darkspawn arrived. We just got back from Ostagar, didn't have time to ask more. Who knew.
Zevran has met her in person. He had likened her to me in terms of dagger-fighting style, tendency to search the fallen and "a certain glint in the eye". It does sound like the mage-templar war was something she got caught up in, not ignited.
