"Oh, I quite enjoy milk. And in Antiva City, it is usually taken warm. I did not know cold milk was common until I arrived here." He shrugged a little and smiled, taking her offering of the granola bar. He nibbled carefully and tried to think of how best to describe Darkspawn.
"The Chantry says that Darkspawn were our punishment for being too prideful in our use of magic. The mages of the old Tevinter Imperium entered the Golden City - the home of the Maker, and it offended him, so they were cast out and became twisted and tainted. And that was the first Darkspawn. Now they live in the Deep Roads near Orzammar. Sometimes they find an old god there and manage to taint it as well. Then they surface in great numbers to take over cities and kill and plunder. That is a Blight. That is what I was helping to stop."
