The Anders pre-DA:2 story is on Anders' page now! o.O
It still makes me weep... oh Anders. And then makes me wonder where the hell the damn warden went off to that was more important than her friends. That woman, she's got some explaining to do!
Somehow, I can picture my Warden being forced to step down.
She's not always the most diplomatic of people, and some of her actions would probably grate on the Grey Warden's nerves a bit.
For instance, she killed the Archdemon, yet both she and Loghain survived. (Suspitious much?) Then she allowed the Architect to live... not to mention she allowed Vigil's Keep to get trashed in order to save Amaranthine, and somehow I doubt she was happy with the Chantry poking their noses in her buisness. (Seriously, what the hell happened to neutrality!?)
Overall, I'd also expect her to be a tad stressed by now.
She lost her clan, her home and her first love to the eluvian and was thrown into the whole Blight mess. Then she lost her lover for the sake of her duty (doing whatever it takes to stop the Blight, including recruiting traitors to bolster numbers).
Velanna vanished, Sigrun left, Justice wasn't exactly going to last long (and then of course came the accident.<_<), Nathaniel was probably busy catching up with his sister and his new brother-in-law, and Oghren isn't the best source of comfort in the world,.
And all her other friends were long gone.
I wouldn't be surprised if she just spent as much time away from the keep as possible, leaving whoever in charge before disapearing altogether.
And I suppose without her there to keep the Chantry and everybody under control, everything went to hell and eventually Anders got into the mess he did.
That's my version of events, and I am sticking to it.
