"The Amells were a noble family from Kirkwall that had a distinct tendency toward producing mages. I know of one in Ferelden who was part of a Circle, I also know of a father and daughter who I believe are still in the Kirkwall area, though neither of them are mages." And while she liked Charade well enough, she would never trust Gamlen. "And then the branch of the line I'm most familiar with is my own. My mother was an Amell, and so my sister, brother, and I hail from that line as well." Odd that her mother's family connections were coming up - it was usually her father's that had caused trouble.
"So the crest could be pointing to a person, or a place. Like I said, Kirkwall is where the estate is, though none of us are living there at the moment. Kirkwall has also been the center of a lot of magic throughout the ages, not always of the good kind though. Not sure why it seemed to attract blood magic and demon shenanigans, but..." she shrugged, leaving the sentence unfinished. Kirkwall had more than its fair share of trouble over the years, that was well known enough.
