Elthina

Elthina is the Grand Cleric of the Free Marches south of Starkhaven and as such is one of the most powerful people in Kirkwall. She can be found inside the Kirkwall Chantry.
== Background ==
Elthina was born in a small village in the Vimmark Mountains. When she was young, her parents died of fever and she was taken in by the Chantry. She became a lay sister as a girl. Though she was given the choice to leave when she came of age, Elthina elected to stay and take her vows. She moved south to Kirkwall when she was twenty. She soon became a revered mother there. She was appointed grand cleric of the Free Marches by Divine Beatrix III when her predecessor died, approximately thirty years after Elthina had first come to Kirkwall.
After Sebastian was forced into the Chantry, Elthina helped him escape in the dead of night, telling him that people should enter the Chantry through the front door, not the back. She gave him a purse full of gold and told him to go and live his life. Thanks to her words, Sebastian returned to the Chantry - through the front door this time - with his faith restored.Sebastian (short story)
Elthina tried and imprisoned the former Viscount, Perrin Threnhold.Codex entry: Knight-Commander Meredith As the Grand Cleric, she appointed Meredith to the position of the Knight-Commander of Kirkwall. She has been Grand Cleric for almost twenty years and is well-loved by the entire city, but some claim her to be ineffective and are quietly calling on the Divine to appoint a replacement.Codex entry: Grand Cleric Elthina
