About this mod
Fixes the translation given for the Elven dialogue in the romanced redemption ending.
- Permissions and credits
While I appreciate the fact that Bioware actually gave us a translation for this, the one they gave us was somewhat inaccurate. Especially the part when Lavellan first speaks after Mythal fades. This mod simply provides a more accurate translation for their Elven!
Explanations for the changes:

Appreciations:
A huge thank you to Fen, Naerys, Sera, Eterna, Petra, and Mons for all their love and continued support! <3 I highly recommend checking out their creations as well!
Also thank you to this user on Reddit for their in-depth explanation behind the translations, for anyone wondering why the original was inaccurate! They explain it a lot better than I can!

1- "banal nadas. ar lath ma, vhenan"
We've seen these two phrases used in DAI, in here lies the abyss and in Solas' 2nd romance scene! banal nadas can mean:
While there is no established word for "fate" in DA's canon elven language, and even with elven being a cypher language, its very, very unlikely for the translation to be anything other than how those phrases have already been established.
2- For the second part, where Lavellan tells Solas she's going with him, the translation they provided isn't the worst (or at least, isn't as bad as the first part) and does share a similar meaning, I just tidied it up to be a more direct translation for the Elven they said for it!
