His questions make her glance over to the skull in question, the strange ringing noise even louder when she's this close to it. She wishes that she could just take the skull and chuck it off the ledge. But that seems a bit...callous. And no guarantee it'd shut up. "I don't know much, I'm afraid. There's an official name for them, but, um. Most of us just call them those creepy skulls." She rubs the back of her neck sheepishly.

They reveal shards that would be hidden otherwise. The Inquisition isn't sure what the shards do, but we've been collecting them. Just in case." At the very least, if they had the shards, their enemies didn't.
