"Stuffy nobles in masks all trying to outmaneuver each other in a big political Game," Alleyana had no qualms describing Orlais as exactly what it was, "and also competing to see who can fuck over the elves the hardest. They were in the middle of a civil war before I stepped in and smacked some sense into them, but I'm sure they'll go right back to it now that I'm not there to babysit."

Not even because she was on another world, either. She'd gotten what she needed from Orlais, versus Corypheus, and had left them to their devices since. Maybe everyone would get lucky and the gentry would all murder each other.

...Probably not, no one on Thedas was ever that lucky.
