Anders,

What in the Maker's name is going on? I wrote to Nathaniel telling him to get the fuck out of Nevarra before the dead rose up to kick his ass and he writes back, high as a bird, to report that the dead had, in fact, kicked his ass.

Are you guys alright? You're not still in Nevarra, right? If so: I swear to the Maker and Andraste and maybe whoever else wants to listen in that I will hike all the way to Nevarra and haul your dumb asses back.

I am, notably, not in Nevarra, and therefore am having a significantly better time than you are. You might like the Western Approach, it's nothing but sand, heat, and death, just like the Anderfels. It could use all the Wardens running around, though, because the only thing this place has more of than crazy murderous beasts is darkspawn.

The good thing about all the darkspawn is that they are excellent training for all the baby Wardens I've been working with. I was a little nervous at first, letting them at these things that could very well actually kill them, but they had to face darkspawn before for their Joining. Combine that with me making sure they kept up to date on their drills, and they're doing fine.

It's weird. I've seen so many people kill darkspawn, I've killed so many darkspawn. But watching these guys kill darkspawn using the techniques I taught them? It made me feel so damn proud. I mean, I know I'm amazing, but managing to pass on that amazingness to other people, knowing that it will keep them alive? That's just...I don't know. Somehow, it's humbling.

I've always wanted to leave a lasting impression on the world. Know that I made an immutable difference. If there's a path to immortality, it's through doing deeds that change the world. I'm starting to realize that teaching is one of the ways to do that. Maybe if I manage not to get my dumb ass killed before we kick Corypheus' ass, I'll make this a thing.

Don't worry, though, I'm not gonna stay out here long. It's obvious to me that I'm the only one of us with any goddamn sense, so I'll be coming back to make sure you idiots don't die. Try to survive until then.

Best wishes,
Kaisa Daesun

We're thankfully no longer in Nevarra any longer. But can you blame me for coming here? There's all sorts of interesting magic and I've always wanted to see the world. Everything goes wrong where I'm at whether I travel or not.

I miss the warm. You had best be enjoying it for me.

Teaching is rewarding. I'm glad you're getting to see this. You'd be welcome to come teach down in my clinic; the baby mages could use a few tips when it comes to handling weapons that aren't magical. Not actual babies. Nobody's handing babies swords down here, or even daggers. Though now I want to see you try to train an army of babies. I think you could manage it.

I look forward to seeing you soon. Maybe by the time you're back Nate will be off bedrest.

Your friend,
Anders
