GHILAN'NAIN, MOTHER OF THE HALLA - WIKI PAGE

According to Dalish tales, Ghilan'nain was a huntress of the People and Andruil's chosen. Her tale is a little different, as she is often thought to have been accepted as one of the Evanuris after she was found by Andruil. Perhaps then, Ghilan'nain was indeed one of the People rather than a general in this unknown war. Found by Andruil as whispers of a powerful mage swept through the land - a mage that could create monsters and unspeakable beasts. Andruil, after having found this mage and seen what she could create, offered the woman a seat beside the Evanuris, as an equal. Ghilan'nain was given her own Vallaslin and continued her experimentations.

Perhaps a bit of Andruil's madness rubbed off on her, for she used the elves - some of her own followers, some gifts from the other Evanuris - for her experiments, creating what we now know as Aberrations. It is very likely she willingly took part in Mythal's murder if not because she was in love with Andruil, then because she did not want her twisted experiments to come to an end.
