It's what I know

Family is usually rarely simple. Maybe they washed their hands of you, fuck maybe you washed your hands of them. I love my mother and sister, don’t get me wrong, but where my father is concerned. I’d be more than happy to bring him back from the dead so I could kill him myself for the things he did and the damage he did to our family name. Elanna Cousland forgave him for his father’s deeds, but even to this day, nearly twenty years later, there were still Fereldens that cursed the Howe name, not caring that all the atrocities had been perpetrated by his father and few of the others. Maybe a couple of distant cousins and an uncle, but for the most part very little of the Howe family had a direct hand in the events of the Fifth Blight.
