Codex text
The Wardens did not guard the key with care. It was left in a repository, with objects of little worth. Trinkets. Dusty Grey Warden trophies. Not even a guard posted. Fools. If only they knew what they had, and had lost.
It will not wake at my touch; it sleeps and its power remains within. The Great One says it requires Malcolm Hawke's blood to awaken it. Only then can its powers set him free.
I will find the heir to the blood and the Great One will reward me. Yes. Let it be soon.
—From the journal of Rhatigan, leader of the Carta in Kirkwall
