카산드라 펜타가스트

루시우스 대원수님께,

저도 전대 대원수님의 결정이 어떤 의미인지 잘 알고 있습니다. 전대 대원수 램버트 경은 성기사단을 성가회로부터 독립시켜 모든 마법사를 상대로 전쟁을 선포했습니다. 당신과 램버트 경 모두 그것을 정당한 행위로 여기셨지요. 그러나 저는 모르겠습니다. 불의에 맞서는 진리의 구도회가 언제부터 이런 불의를 자행하게 된 것입니까. 정녕 제 말이 이해되지 않으신다면, 주위를 한번 둘러보십시오. 이 전쟁이 얼마나 많은 혼돈을 초래했는지. 설령 이 전쟁에서 승리를 거둔다고 하더라도 테다스가 예전의 모습을 되찾을 수 있을지 자문해보십시오. 저는 배신자의 낙인이 찍히더라도 저스티니아 교황의 오른손으로 남겠습니다. 우리가 따르기로 맹세했던 성가회 규율에서 벗어나는 것이 얼마나 위험한 일인지 깨닫지 못하시는 점이 참으로 유감스럽습니다.

—용의 시대 9:39년, 구도자 카산드라 펜타가스트가 구도회의 루시우스 코린 대원수에게 보낸 편지

 

Lord Seeker Lucius,

I am fully aware of the intent behind your predecessor's declaration. Lord Seeker Lambert pried the templars away from Chantry control and led them into an assault upon all mages, for reasons you both find justified. I, however, am uncertain when the Seekers of Truth went from guarding against injustice to perpetrating it. If you truly believe that is not the case, I suggest you look out a window at the chaos this war has caused, and ask yourself if Thedas will recover even if you are victorious. I remain at Divine Justinia's right hand, and will stay there even if you brand me traitor. I am sorry, but there is too much at stake to swerve from the path we willingly followed at the Chantry's foundation.
