You had gone in a mission with a few of your companions took a trip to the deep and endless chasms where Silverite mines were located. This was beneath the Wending Wood. The mission extended for a great amount of time, including killing a lot of darkspawn, being put to sleep by some strange being, and eventually, reaching the very core of the underground labyrinth of some sort.

By the time you were inside, you came into a large chamber where you and your crew were met by the same large being, standing beside a dwarf warrior who seemed like she was going to charge down and attack, until the large man's sudden intervention. The Architect's intervention.

— And so we meet again. The Architect says, looking down at you calmly and softly, before then turning his attention to his right side to Utha, the dwarf warrior.

— No, Utha. That is not how this must begin.

Eventually, the Architect turns back over to you, looking down at you and walking over the tall foundation he was standing on, before then proceeding to walk off and slowly descend down towards you.

— I owe you an apology, Commander. When last we met, I intended to explain myself. Fate, however, intervened.
