A return to Lothering and the surrounding area brings two mages close to home. This can take many forms of threading. Most likely it will begin with exploring the town and asking about what became of their families. I assume Beth will be the one to be doing most of the asking as Thais’ questions about her homevillage is one of an afterthought after learning about Beth’s intentions to find out.
Beth will find results that she may not be entirely alone. Thais will learn of the village’s fate (having been destroyed by darkspawn during the Blight and that her parents had not survived).
After this point, however, I am unsure what will take place depending on interactions I assume and how each woman wants to deal with the news.
I do hope this will be a lovely bonding thread.
Also, are there any other PCs interested in being involved with this sideplot?
[Beth, feel free to add to this what you will or if I got anything wrong.]
