(Galadriel is fairly used to getting mail but she'll be a bit shocked to receive any in Thedas. For any notes, missives, letters, or other communications.)

[ As is often the way with Galadriel, when she speaks, Ellana listens as if transfixed. There is always such weight to what this bright, shining lady has to say, and right now is no exception. Though a wrinkle appears between her brows at the mention of mirrors. She's recently returned from Kirkwall with Merrill's eluvian, and Morrigan swore them to secrecy about what an eluvian actually does.

Now she has to weigh the risks of telling Galadriel about it. Ellana doesn't want to be the target of Morrigan's wrath (or her disappointment). The eluvians are for travel, but Galadriel is talking about scrying, isn't she? Or something to that effect. ]


There are some mages who can scry, though I personally don't know how. It probably would transcend the Veil.

[ For now, she leaves any mention of eluvians out of this, because they don't seem to be what Galadriel is looking for. Yes, they are mirrors, but they're for travel, not for viewing the future or viewing the location of a broken blade. ]


[ ooc: so I actually don't know much about canon scrying in Dragon Age. Just that Finn does it in Witch Hunt, so it does exist! So I had Ellana mention it. ]

Well, [ And here Ellana gives an impish grin, ] as long as you don't mean literally plucking out my eyes, then yes, of course I'll help you. You would be helping me -- and all Thedosian elves -- so much if you would even try.

[ It should sound unnerving, but coming from Galadriel, Ellana doesn't mind. It's obviously just a necessary part of this.

She hands over her notebook with a smile. Inside, Galadriel will see sketches of sunburst patterns, sculptures, mosaics, and wall paintings. Ellana is no artist, but she's sketched and re-sketched these images until she thinks they're as close as she's going to get to the reality of what she saw. ]


Silver... well, that's not easy to come by. I suppose we could ask the Ambassador to loan us one. Except then she'd want to know what it was for. Hmm, maybe we could gather some silverite and use that? I'm sure Sam would make us a basin, and he wouldn't tell anyone if I asked him not to.

Elgar'nan's sun? Oh yes.

[ Ellana takes back her notebook, but then extends her hand towards Galadriel to show her the ring she wears made of silverite. There are tiny halla etched across the surface; a display of fine detail work. ]

He made this ring for me, and etched in the halla himself. I know he mostly makes armor and weapons, but he can do beautiful work like this too.
