We are the Peacekeepers

[equanimiti]

FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Alayre Sauveterre
RECIPIENT: Anyone & Everyone of the Inquisition
WHAT: A godless & faithless Inquisition isn't strong enough to hold against what will be a long war. Therefore, Sauveterre tries to appeal to the faith of those who truly believes in the Maker and his prophet, Andraste.
WHEN: Second Week of Guardian
WHERE: Emprise du Lion
NOTES: If you're craving a good debate or even negative Templar CR, this is the post for you. All characters are welcomed to chime in however they wish. Expect threadjacking and heated debates.

This godless Inquistion shan't do.

[ It's not often that the former Knight-Commander speaks via sending crystal, but today he makes an exception. The message Alayre carries is a dire one. ]

Despite our progress thus far as a sustainable military force, I believe now is the time to mention the lack of faith that many our fellow soldiers lack.


Are we not acting upon the Maker's Will? Are we not representatives of Andraste's might as well?

While we indeed call ourselves The Inqusition, I don't believe many of us fully understand the weight that such a title holds if we're not intune with our faith in a greater good.

[ He's quite aware that this message may irk a few people but he's trying to appeal to those willing to make peace with the Maker and renew their faith. Of course many horrible things have been done in Andraste's name and he condemns them. However, he shan't condemn all of his faith as well. ]

Far too many of us shun the teachings that the Chantry provides and just as many make a mockery of Andraste's plight. Little do any of us realize that it will be our faith to see us through the dark times that shall come. This is why I come to you now in concern, allies and friends. I see that our faith lacks the vigor it needs to carry us through.

( ooc: feel free to threadjack and converse! )

Must you be reminded that those with the ability to close the rifts come mostly from worlds that are not this one? That they little interest in your Chantry? How many teachings truly come from Andraste, how many from your Chantry?

[The pause is loaded, Leliana has said much but Morrigan does like to speak for herself after all.]

The Inquisition of old was not formed for the reasons this one was, as it stands? Your precious Chantry fights among itself, what we need are not prayers, tithes and candles, we need action. Faith did not save your Divine, did it?

( good good mmmhmm good yes enjoys support of rifters yes A+

BUT OH MAKER'S MERCY IT IS TOO SOON TO TALK ABOUT JUSTINIA LIKE THAT :C )

[Ssh ssh ssh she was a terrible user Leliana. Ssh. Go smooch your nugs.

Focus on Morrigan not being selfish and actually speaking up for the rifters, she's got your back here.]

Aye, we've got bigger things to worry about rather than who believes in what. Maybe I'm not from around here but it seems to me we should be focusing more on doing what we need to to get rid of Cory-thingy and get these rifts closed for once and for all.

[Alright, so he's not good with complicated names, but he does agree with Morrigan here.]

[arcaneadvisor]

A most sensible suggestion. [Morrigan approves +5] You will find that many of the Chantry would rather contemplate their own navels rather than admit that there are better ways to get things done with less soul-searching. Corypheus is hardly letting his ruminations on faith - and he would know some things far better than some - get in his way.

[wontforgetyou]

Figures some things would be the same no matter where you go.

[That one comes out a bit dryly, as he can't say as he's all that surprised, but then something more determined comes into his tone.]

Well, I don't know about the rest of them, but I'm for some action sooner rather than later. Navel-gazing's all well and good but it'll not stop someone who's determined to end the world.
