Involvement[]

Dragon Age II[]
In Act 2 Hawke receives a letter from Barlin; he apparently is acquainted with Hawke and asks for news:
Hawke,
Heard you got to the Free Marches. Don't know why you bother, but I suppose it's better than Orlais.
They got spiders up there? Big ones? Couldn't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a giant spider, but the Blight drove 'em off. Maker! Dark days ahead. Mark my words! A man can't even cover his blighted land with poisonous traps!
