Kindle Notes & Highlights
Skyhold was carved into the sides of a massive mountain that split into two peaks near the top. The mountain was riddled with tunnels and towers. Keeps, balconies, and other structures rose from the sides, built into the mountain itself. Tens of thousands of people lived in Skyhold, though no one had an exact count.

The few times she managed to manifest stable dreamfire, it had an unearthly appearance- it burned an unstable purple-green color, and the light it cast made objects seem to warp and twist.
Sounds like octarine to me
