Nathaniel rolls his eyes at the patronizing tone. "I'm well aware that I don't sound sane, but that doesn't make it less true." He leans forward and looks at Hawke intently. "As I said, the Initiative has seemed to take a liking to Thedosians. We have, currently residing here, King Alistair, Queen Anora, and King Cailan -- all three of them the rightful rulers of Ferelden. We also have the Hero of Ferelden, Elissa Cousland. A woman whom King Alistair and Queen Anora are convinced died during the Blight, and whom Anders and I knew quite well after the Blight. There was a woman named Morrigan here for a time, and her Hero of Ferelden was a mage fresh from the Circle."

This is a long speech for Nathaniel, and it's likely that his speech has only served to prove that he really is touched in the head, but it's important for Hawke to know these things. "It also explains why you are quite obviously a mage, even though the Garrett Hawke I know is a rogue who favors twin blades... not a staff."
