Summary
When he was a boy, Loghain saw for himself a future of grains and vegetables. His imagination conjured up a red-cheeked partner and comfort at the end of the day. As a young man, he could only see himself at the end of an Orlesian blade, and he expected the same for everyone he'd ever cared for. A decade later, his dreams dried up like a riverbed in summertime. Teyrns did not daydream of what might lay in their twilight years. The pressures of ruling pulled him soundly into the present. Eventually, he stopped thinking about his future entirely.
But then, he became a Grey Warden, and he opened his eyes again.
