Well, maybe with her help the Dalish will understand, that they won't get anything done without uniting with their city brethren. That Elvhen separation is playing right into human's hand.

 

All the Dalish aren't all alike, though, so I can see some clans already willing to work alongside their city brethren. Even Gaider addressed this at the old Dragon Central board:

 

The Dalish have the Gathering every 10 years, where all the clans are supposed to gather and the Keepers of each clan share their knowledge with each other. This is also where Dalish-wide issues are dealt with, and ideally the Gathering is supposed to keep the Dalish roughly in step with each other. In practice, though, you are correct. Each clan tends to go the way that its Keeper dictates. Some clans are very militant, almost xenophobic. Some are little more than bandits in whatever wilderness they've staked out (this is often the case in Tevinter, for instance). A few are quite benevolent and live in peace with nearby humans -- the Rivaini city of Llomerryn is known to have a semi-permanent Dalish encampment on its outskirts, and trade with the elves for their crafts is encouraged.

 

 

Although I'm not certain if the Dalish still have an encampment on the outskirts of Llomerryn (because of Merrill and Isabela's dialogue), the point remains true that the clans vary. It's a mistake to assume they are all the same.

It still not enough, if the one clan goes south, the other west and so on (metaphorically). That separation is slowly killing Elvhen - the Dalish move to extinction and CE are losing themselves in the alienages and slavery. The whole race needs some mutual goal and methods instead of vague - "we want to get our land" with thousands ways of reaching it, depending on their Keeper. Without it they won't ever break free, remaining homeless nomads like Gipsy.

Agreed. However, not being all the same doesn't mean there won't be majorities and minorities. Remember the talk about the Vir Atish'an and the Vir Tanadhal? The later is more popular, stated by the Dalish themselves.

Spoiler

I think the conclusion of "The Masked Empire" is the inception to that changing for all the Elvhen, with Briala at the helm.

That is my hope as well, as i already pointed out.
