After my vigil and first drought of lyrium, I was sent to the Mage Tower in Ferelden at Kinloch hold. Until the Blight, things were relatively calm and it was as idyllic as it's possible in Thedas.

[This part is easy, remembering what the Tower had been like before Uldred's return.]

There was an apprentice, a pretty girl who was kind to me when I first arrived. She'd just passed her Harrowing before the few mages that survived returned from Ostagar.

[This part is a bit harder. He'd watched the girl pass her Harrowing, had attended and hoped that he didn't have to deliver the blow that would kill her if she failed.]

She was among the first to die during the takeover.
