In DAO it was the rite of annulment. In DA2, the right of annulment. I want the rite to be right, so which is right? Write it right!

I'll bring it up to be addressed the next time they update string tables. I couldn't tell you which one is intended, simply that it should be consistent.

It's "Right of Annulment"... as in the templars possess the right to annul a Circle when it gets out of hand. I wasn't aware it was inconsistent, but it's easy even for us to get confused sometimes.

That is just dumb.
Sorry.
As a classicist and a philologist, your usage of the word is suspect.
...it's a right/privilege that is being exercised.
What is so suspect about the word usage?

In addition, if it was "right" instead of "rite", as in the Knight Commander has the "right" to annul the circle, why did Gregoir have to send for permission, instead of just declaring like Meredith did. A "rite" is something the requires sanction, preparation, then action, like the way it was described in DAO.
Because them possessing the right to annul the Circle does not automatically mean they have the right to do so whenver they wish? It's not a ritual or an observance, after all, but a privilege that may be exercised under select criteria.

Oh and I vote for 'rite' ala "the rite of AshkEnte".
This isn't an election.
