...Why did he leave the Fade? It sounds like he needs a vessel to function in this realm. Can he go back?

From:

It was an accident. Long story short, me and a few Wardens got sent into the Fade via very surprising means. A powerful sorceress sent an entire village she was governing to the Fade decades ago when they revolted against her. They had been trapped in there that whole time. Their plight drew the attention of a spirit of Justice. He rallied the villagers to stand up against the sorceress. Us Wardens were trying to find a way out, and we hoped that if the sorceress could release the village, we could be sent back to the waking world as well.

With us, Justice and the villagers closing in on her, in a desperate bid she cast some powerful magic and sent us all back to the waking world... including Justice. He got sent into a corpse, and thus he became trapped. I suppose there must have been some way that he could have left it - obviously he did if he managed to merge with Anders. But now that he's in a living host, it's much more dangerous to try and separate them via any means we had back home. Though, again, I'm no expert. Anders would know more about that than I.

Whoa...an entire village? That's crazy.

[He's never seen magic spells from a single person be THAT strong to send an entire village to another realm.]

But I see...[A pause] Would he want to go back to the Fade, if he had the choice?

From:

bryces_pup

I suspect blood magic was involved, given the power of the spell.

[Which means a lot of dead villagers.]

I... yes, I'm quite sure he would want to. It's his home.

[Her brow furrows.]

Why? Would you be able to help him?

From:

save_the_souls

Ah, right. Blood magic.

[Not going to say anything more about blood magic. He knows how much Thedas folk freak out about the stuff]

...Maybe.

My powers specialise in releasing and purifying trapped souls. Essentially when I use them, the mechanism that was used to bind them to the host is broken, and it allows the soul to move on to where it's supposed to go, free of corruption.

Spirits sound a bit similar to souls. So, it's possible if I do it, he could move on back to the Fade, if that's where he's supposed to be.

From:

bryces_pup

But the Fade doesn't exist here. Would he be able to reach it from here?

From:

save_the_souls

[He sighs]

Maybe, maybe not. I'm not a medium, I can't check on spirits of other realms once they leave this one. So I can't make any promises there.

Ultimately, the choice if they want to chance it is up to Anders and Justice. But if we are working on limited time before he becomes Rage, it might be the best chance we can get.

From:

bryces_pup

[As much as it scares her, he's right. They may be able to move Justice into another vessel, even a non-living one, but would that really solve the problem?]

I see. I... let me talk to them about this first. If Justice still has the presence of mind to listen to anyone, it's me. If and when they acquiesce, then you can be brought in. Given his state, he may not trust something this risky if it's laid out before him by a stranger.

[And if he's going to flip out anyway, she'd rather it be on her than someone else.]

From:

save_the_souls

[he gives a little nod]

Alright, that sounds like a good idea. [He knows he's not exactly the best with approaching people anyway] I still need about another week or so to heal up anyway,so you have some time.
