Tallis (episode)

"I'm Tallis and I work for the Qunari!"

Chantry Prison
The episode starts at the secret Chantry prison, as Tallis narrates by reciting Qunari Prayers for the Dead in the common tongue. Behind closed doors the Chantry torturers are trying to extract information from a Dalish Keeper by the name of Yevven, but before they are able to, the other prisoners orchestrate an escape. A group of prisoners consisting of a Qunari mage Saarebas and the mercenaries he freed: two warriors, two rogues, and a reaver Nyree break into the torture chamber and kill the torturers. Saarebas then proceeds to ask Yevven whether or not he revealed the secrets about the Dalish artifact, after which he uses magic to extract the secrets from the elf's mind for himself.

Kirkwall
Inside of a Qunari ship docked at Kirkwall's harbour, an elven woman is chopping pork. After several racist insults and references to her skills of an assassin being used to slaughter pigs directed in her direction by her fellow human viddathari, she attacks them, demonstrating skills that are unfit for a simple slaughter house worker. However, before she is able to strike, she is interrupted by a Qunari. He informs her that she was made Tallis again and is warned not to fail again. The mission is to capture the escaped Saarebas.

Outside of Kirkwall
Tallis begins her hunt for the rogue mage. Outside of Kirkwall she tracks down one of the prisoners, Rukk who escaped the prison with the saarebas. Hiding in the trees, she spots the bandit attacking a merchant by the name of Tinker. She catches up to Rukk and prevents him from striking the merchant. However, as she does so, she spots a templar,Cairn who explains that he means to arrest the fugitive. Not willing to give up her lead on the saarebas, Tallis manages to leave the templar behind to ask Rukk about the whereabouts of the mage. He reveals to her that the mage is looking for a Dalish camp. Before Cairn catches up to her, she slits Rukk's throat, preventing Cairn from interrogating the fugitive.

Trivia
Tallis references Andraste as a god, and Rukk agrees, whereas in fact Andraste was merely a prophet and the founder of the Chantry's beliefs.
