He listens, finally taking a tentative sip as she gets near the end and nodding his approval for the flavor.

"I haven't seen a lot of war before this. When I was with the Grey Wardens during the... the attack on Amaranthine, it was like this, yes. Lines of all that could be mustered marching forth, while a few of us held the Keep. The mage fighting against Templars, what I saw of it, was more like you describe. They formed lines, they had the numbers, and we had to make smaller strikes. Armies..."

He shakes his head. "With lords, they've numbers and a distance from the field. If they lose a lot of lives, they can hire men to replace them. Corypheus is much the same. They're not worried about lives, they're worried about coming out on top. It's ghastly."

Anders leans back in his chair, frowning. "It's all about the numbers. The more people someone can field, the more impartial it becomes. Or that's my opinion. I'm not exactly a scholar of war." Healing is what he studies. But as this war gets closer to a head, the chances of them being fielded go higher.

"I'm not looking forward to when we take on Corypheus, though sometimes I think it would be nice to simply deal with him rather than continuing to take losses."
