Just because you are an elf does not mean you aren't worthy of a title such as that. You survived, yes? I'd say it would be for a reason. The concept of 'luck' is a bit steep in this scenario.
I have had my battles with faith. And these dreams - they showed me something that feels real in what I've been searching for. Yet that Leliana and myself still find ourselves detached. Might have to do with the whole killing people bit.
