[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 2623071, member: 36973"] Another thing to consider: Saalin would have been established in Thaliost a [i]long[/i] time and thus could have found/known/advised/run-across/etc Oswin there before Oswin became part of the higher-ups (Saalin would have had some Church contacts through his Flamekeep contact Lycia before moving on and joining the Order of the Pure after the War). As for how Saalin made contact with Alistair, Alistair could have heard of him through Saalin's (human elder w/ regards to Allistair's probable age) contact and confidant Lycia---they may have even met before he left for Flamekeep and Alistair could have been involved in his joining the Order of the Pure. Since most of Saalin's life has been outside of Thrane mainstream (he is an ex-member of an enemy military force, let us not forget), his outcast nature could appeal to Alistair's need/desire for more "colorful" agents.
