Greetings. I am Knight-Commander Meredith of the Circle of Kirkwall.
From what I have read in this enchanted book, it would seem that we have all been drawn here by magic of an unknown origin. I don't imagine any of you are the type to panic, so I ask only that any mages who are unharrowed or feel themselves at risk of possession present themselves to me for their own protection.
I shall not be left to wander the drifting roads of the Fade
For there is no darkness, nor death either, in the Maker's Light
And nothing that He has wrought shall be lost.
The Canticle of Trials, 1:14

Knight-Captain, from what I have read you have put yourself forward as quartermaster of this "Skyhold". Prepare a copy of your inventory report for me and inform me when you finish. Are you aware of who has taken command of provisions, and do they have an exact tally of the perishables? We are not likely to receive more supplies any time soon.
Also, I am pleased you are here. It's good to have someone I know I can trust.

Someone do something about Cole, quicklyno subject
Date: 2015-08-25 04:45 am (UTC)From:As I understand from your past writings, you are a mage in a position of leadership in this fortress. Yet you do not know what a Harrowing is. That does not bode well.
Magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him.

Date: 2015-08-25 04:58 am (UTC)From:Since you introduced yourself, I feel compelled to do the same: Inquisitor Aria Lavellan, but Inquisitor will suffice. Following Divine Justinia orders, Seeker Pentaghast and Sister Leliana brought back the Inquisition of old to right this world's wrongs and they appointed me personally as Inquisitor.
Probably because I am the Herald of Andraste.

Date: 2015-08-25 05:13 am (UTC)From:It is an honour, Inquisitor. I was not made aware that the Divine had call to re-instate such a venerable and storied order. But then I'm given to understand that Time Magic may be at work, and that does complicate matters.
Do you speak of Leliana, the companion of the Hero of Fereldan?

Date: 2015-08-25 05:17 am (UTC)From:She is here somewhere too.

Date: 2015-08-25 05:23 am (UTC)From:I thank you, Inquisitor. You've been most helpful.

no subject
Date: 2015-08-25 05:34 am (UTC)From:The dead...You would be the one they call Anders, then. I have heard tell that you follow the Champion, hiding in her shadow. But the Maker's light reveals you for what you are, Maleficar.
You will be dealt with.
no subject
Date: 2015-08-25 05:54 am (UTC)From:But! Since you invoked the Champion, you do get one free dagger in the kidney.
And since you called my friend a maleficar when you're the one who turned (turns? will turn? had turned? Need a grammar consult here, Varric) into a red lyrium abomination? Bonus dagger in the eye.
Or give up the sword, if you have it, go quietly to a cell, and I'll join you down the row. We can do this weird justice thing that Cullen's apparently on about, and the people can decide what to do with you.
What do you say?

Date: 2015-08-25 06:14 am (UTC)From:A CELL IS TOO GOOD FOR HER.
Hawke. If anybody is to face that bitch and be imprisoned for it, it should be US. WE WILL BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS. THAT IS ONLY JUST.
You won't hurt anybody else, and certainly not my friends, while WE DRAW BREATH, KNIGHT-COMMANDER.

Date: 2015-08-25 06:26 am (UTC)From:...
Abomination.
Maker, my enemies are abundant.
Many are those who rise up against me.
But my faith sustains me; I shall not fear the legion,
Should they set themselves against me.

Date: 2015-08-25 05:14 pm (UTC)From:And before I'm accused of losing my mannners, greetings. We never met eye to eye, but I wrote you a letter or two about my men raiding the Deep Roads near Kirkwall, in the past. Warden Commander Surana, at your service.
As for Warden Anders, I can assure you don't have to worry about him. He is under my wing for a good time now and there isn't a more reliable, trustworthy mage in my ranks.
About the Red Lyrium, I would be very careful if I were you.
It's Tainted, corrupted by the darkspawn.
It sings to you, drive you insane, in time.

Date: 2015-08-25 06:43 pm (UTC)From:I do not recall any word from you that one of your agents would be operating in Kirkwall's Darktown, and would do so for the past several years. An oversight on your part, I'm certain. As is the fact that he appears to be of two minds, recently. How recently, I would hope you were unaware.
Grey Wardens may conscript supplies and people whenever they have need with impunity, but always they need to take care not to overreach themselves, lest they earn too much ill will. And never has that been more true than with mages operating outside the safety of the Circle.
I thank you, Warden-Commander, for your warnings. Do keep mine in mind.

Date: 2015-08-25 05:15 pm (UTC)From:What unexpected pleasure to have you here.
Locked to Leliana
Date: 2015-08-25 06:50 pm (UTC)From:You are Sister Leliana, yes? I'm given to understand that in my future, you shall become the Left Hand of the Divine. You have my congratulations.
Can you tell me where services are being held? Even while we are trapped in this strange place, we cannot falter in our faith.

Date: 2015-08-25 07:12 pm (UTC)From:The title was closely followed by grave times, but it is always an honor to serve the Maker as He sees necessary.
I don't have a particular service scheduled since I don't have anyone but the Maker and Andraste to accompany me in such moments of meditation and faith, but you are most welcome to join me in the prayers, just above the Library.
