Codex text
Notes recovered from Weisshaupt. Translated from elven by Bellara, sent to Warden Antoine.
"The 'blight' was active during our slumber. It can alter living creatures, but its shapes are crude. Wasteful. Elgar'nan has requested 'vassals worthy of a god.'
Thickening the darkspawn's bones and quickening their ichor was trivial. Other alterations are underway. Pools of blight are easily coaxed to produce darkspawn repeatedly. Some of their properties change without prompting. Their flesh is surprisingly malleable. Vital. Eager.
It used to require greater effort to shape the blight. Did we accumulate more of it in ourselves as we slept? Investigate later."
Note from Bellara:
Is this Ghilan'nain? Does she not know what she looks like, or did she graft on extra bits before getting blighted? (I don't know which is worse.)
