* {{Foreshadowing}}: Yavana gets two cryptic moments which hint at things yet to come:
** In a throwaway line, she mentions a time "before the Veil", which at the time of the book's release made very little sense, as the lore was long established that the Veil was as much a part of the world as air or earth. "Trespasser", released several years later, would [[WhamEpisode shed some light]] on the subject.
** When Alistair tells Yavana he knows all about Flemeth's plan to extend her youth by possessing Morrigan's body, Yavana laughs at Morrigan's apparent foolishness and ignorance, calling what Flemeth planned a "gift". Flemeth herself would tell Morrigan in "Inquisition" that "a soul is not forced upon the unwilling", further hinting that there is much more to Flemeth [[spoiler:and Mythal's]] long lifespan than anybody knows.
