Varric & Illium
Varric Varric
Have you ever thought how a good story can bend the very stars, Illium?
Illium Illium
Indeed, each tale rewrites the constellations in our minds, guiding stars to new patterns.

Ah, but be careful not to let your tales wander too far, or they'll end up chasing the wrong stars.
Illium Illium
True, stories must have a compass, not just wander; otherwise we chase phantom constellations that no longer guide us back home.
Varric Varric
A compass in a tale is like a good laugh – it keeps you from getting lost in the wrong direction, and that’s why I never let my stories drift into nonsense.
Illium Illium
A laugh is a subtle compass, pointing us back before the plot drifts into the abyss.
