First of, if Valandhir is reading this, I do not mind revising my headcanon to include details from yours. Quest-verse is still a progressing thing.
Anyway, Elenaria's Inquisitor is from Arda. He is a character of Valandhir's, Shangraile, an Easterling from the First Age who served in Angband. He was kind to the Silmarils and they saved his life, inadvertently creating a bond that drew his soul to Thedas, where he walked out of the Fade after the Breach opened.
Because Valandhir and I discussed a little of her ongoing Inquisition game, I already knew she likes the sounds of Cassandra as Divine better than Leliana. Cassandra is middle-of-the-road option as Divine, believing in doing a major overhaul of the Circle and the templars, while not outright attack Fiona's College of Enchanters (if the Mages were supported and made allies).
Originally I thought of Leliana as Divine, but for Firestar plotline, I imagine she would be gung-ho about releasing information about the True Word of Andraste (the Chantry changed a hell of a lot of what Lossanárë really said) and if released too fast, that would cause major schisms in the Chantry. Cassandra would be more wary about that and release it slowly. (Vivienne would probably just have it all destroyed.)
Elenaria however never meets the Inquisitor in Thedas. If she had, she would have recognised him, even if he did not recognise her straight away. He went by the name of Ciaran Trevelyan, a name Leliana found for him from logs of everyone who was at the Conclave. She may have told him that Elenaria was from Arda. He may have seen some of Leliana's letters from the Silmarils, which were written in Quenya (Lossanárë taught the language to Leliana during the Blight Year and they used it for confidential messages), and which he may not know the language, he might have known what Tengwar look like enough to recognise it as Middle Earth Elvish.
Also, Lossanárë was partly responsible for the Anchor. With Maferath being the Guardian of the Sacred Ashes, Divine Justina V invited him to the Conclave as a neutral adjudicator (his real identity was never publicized after the temple was opened to pilgrims) and he was killed in the explosion (yes, he was still very much alive - he lived for so long, un-aging, due to his bond with Lossanárë). That drew Lossanárë through the Fade and she lent Justina her power to keep the Anchor from the Elder One.
(Mother Dorothea, who later became Divine Justina V was the one who backed investigation into the temple after the Blight. She was the one who had the true writings of Andraste and her followers collected and studied, and intended on carefully releasing it. She knew about the Silmarils and one of Leliana's jobs as her Left Hand was acting as go-between with them.)
AS Quest-verse is an ongoing thing, more revisions like this will probably happen.

2020
So even though I haven't been here in ages, I still want to carry on my personal tradition of posting my yearly retrospect. Though it appears I forgot last year's. So... 2020, the year where everyone's lives were thrown into chaos... except mine. Actually that is not that far from the truth, I call myself a suburban hermit sometimes, and that is because I almost never go out, except for the weekly shopping,and occasional other run to the shops. This year? The most that I had was having to get up early on shopping days, and a cut to my non-grocery trips out. Now one big thing that did happen was the loss of my cousin. He was the oldest of my first cousins, almost 50, his kids in their late teens, eldest two heading into college and youngest late high school. e went down for his funeral, stayed at Grey's place and were there for Grey's b'day (bought a pizza dinner). Managed to get home about one day before Lockdown hit. The aforementioned early days for shopping was due to
Blah
The only opinion I have about thee election is, congrads on getting another racist old white guy into office.
Dreamlog: Renner Hugs
Another dream about hugging a Real Life celebrity, this time it was Jeremy Renner. I blame watching MCU crack vids and a character abilities vid about Hawkeye on Youtube for it. But it had nothing salatious about it, just the idea that Mr Renner could give great hugs.
Dreamlog: White Death
Had a dream last night where there were entities lurking around that, when seen indirectly, looked like paper-white figures, but if looked at directly, the viewere would die. Most of the dream was about avoiding looking at them directly, hiding indoors and pulling down blinds and closing curtains, since they also could not enter a house (Possibly an uninvited vampire situation), so all they could do is try to be seen through windows. Short and simple, no porn ideas, seems akin to the theme of "The Birdbox".

Hey... of course I am reading this. There is a reason the watch-list exists. 
And while Inquisition's frequent crashes frustrated me to no end today, I actually took the time and went through the dwarf commonor origin to finally get a fix on Kélan's story. (Though I might do the playthrough on someone else than a dwarf, because it is impossible to quite get the Kélan picture a I have in mind into the game.) I think we can stay with the base story, Kélan and his sister working for Behrad, his sister being a noble hunter and finally getting involved with Behlen. Kélan did, as was in the Origin, impersonate Evard in the Proving, because Evard was drunk. The only change I'd make here is, that Leske actually kept guard on the drunkard, and thus the whole thing was successful, no one ever learned that a branded dwarf had defeated the champions of the Warrior caste.
After all that was over, Kélan's sister Rica got seriously involved with Behlen and moved up in the world but unfortunately for Behran, Behlen saw through the whole "Uncle Behran" ruse and accepted no one of her supposed "family" outside her mother. While Kélan was hurt by the separation from his sister, he was glad she and his mother were finally in safer waters. Behran was incensed and after some "punishment" cut him lose. Kélan having realized that his skills matched those of the warriors began to scavenge in the deep roads, selling what he found on bodies. (A bit like that side-quest story of the trader in DAO). Ultimately when Grey Warden Elenaria came to Orzammar during the succession Kélan was still on his own. He only took an "interest" in her at first, as she seemed to back Harrowmont, which would have endangered his sister Rica and her newborn son. Thus Kélan decided to see if you ingratiate himself to the Grey Warden, make himself useful enough to influence his sister's fate.
What he did not expect was Elenaria herself - she was not whom he expected her to be, and yes... he fell for her before long. During his assisting her, Kélan would not hold back on what life in Dust-Town meant, and what Harrowmont might mean for them. He could see that Elenaria became more and more incensed the more she learned about what was going on behind the facades of Orzammar and she found things Kélan had only heard rumour of. Ultimately he was glad that she chose Behlen in the end, though deep down he knew he'd not be able to hold a grudge any more had she chosen differently.
When Elenaria was about to depart Orzammar, Kélan came to her to volunteer himself as a recruit for the Wardens.
