DA: Sereda Aeducan Interview

vieralynn wrote a very detailed character development interview that I snagged with the intention of writing up for my Aeducan. It is very, very long, and probably of specialized interest only, but she asked me to share it, and there are some aspects of it I like very much. So here it is, all many thousands of words of it.
It definitely made for an interesting exercise -- I always had a pretty good handle on Sereda's character, but this gave me more specifics and insights, and some thoughts on other characters as well: Alistair, Gorim, other members of the Aeducan family. It's not a fast project, but I recommend it if you're working with a character and want to do a deep dive on their past and psyche.

This interview transcript was found in the personal papers of Sister Madeline, a researcher at the Amaranthine Chantry, in 42 Dragon. The sheets were folded into a book with a scattering of notes relating to Sereda Aeducan, Hero of Ferelden, and King Alistair Theirin, but not corresponding treatise has ever been discovered. Although the interview is not dated, contextual clues suggest that it has to have occurred in 37 or 38 Dragon, shortly after the destruction of the Kirkwall Chantry but before the Hero's sudden disappearance in 41 Dragon. Sister Madeline was killed in the early days of the Mage War, so her intention in holding this interview will never been known. We reproduce the transcript here in its entirety with minimal editing.
