Status

Morrigan will likely be around Skyhold arranging tutors for her son, continuing her studies into forgotten and ancient magic, no doubt harrassing the Dalish and upsetting them by shemsplaining, and making life miserable for Alistair by virtue of her presence. Oh and probably writing letters to the Imperial Court just for the sake of appearances.

Morrigan has an office within Skyhold that is fairly brimming with her research; there are books upon books, pages upon pages, and plenty of plants that she grows that aren't trusted to the gardens. The doors are often left open unless she's working on something that requires privacy, so knock if it's shut. It is locked and warded when she's gone.

Reputation

Given that she was instrumental in helping to defeat the Fifth Blight, anyone who actually knows anything about it is welcome to know about her as is anyone who can connect Flemeth with her though mention of Flemeth will not gain you the stories you seek. If you've got handwaved past CR during the Fifth Blight days with the Warden's squad then let me know. If your character had involvement with the Imperial Court feel perfectly free to have met her or heard the rumours, just drop me a line. When it comes to Kieran however, it was absolutely not common knowledge that they were related so speak to me about connecting those two first please!

Hooks

Dalish elves are you ready for her to know more than you and to know how to work an eluvian without blood magic and demons? Do you want to learn of lost magics in general? Have you heard rumour of a Witch of the WIlds or perhaps the arcane advisor in Orlais? In general mages will work best with her and those not from Circles who reject all the Circle has to offer (nice mage council you sheep). Also come be a tutor to her son he's cute.

Her current research projects:
  • Elven magic and lore: the ancient, lost, forgotten, and forbidden
  • Dragons and connections beyond their world and into those of the rifters
  • Anchor shards as they pertain to ancient magic

GIFTS
Morrigan has a fondness for small shiny trinkets since she was never allowed such things, and her favourite would still be a golden mirror. She would also greatly approve of small items for Kieran of the not-a-nug-or-a-mabari variety since they actually have to move so often so it's not really practical to have a pet on the road alas. Research supplies and materials would be hugely appreciated too, even if it's just information since what might not matter to someone might be very helpful to her.
