FORM: Written message posted to the board as well as a few copies distributed to various locations about Skyhold and in the valley camp by raven
SENDER: Morrigan
RECIPIENT: All of Skyhold
WHAT: Asking for elven and rifter research assistants
WHEN: Bloomingtide
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: See the related ooc post and open log starters if you'd like to thread out the research things, this is just for a proper place to announce it!

Skyhold, as several of you within these walls are no doubt aware, I joined the Inquisition some months hence to lend my assistance in researching arcane matters as I had done previously in the Imperial Court of Empress Celene, and that my speciality is ancient magic, thought lost, forbidden, much of it elven. Several of you recently accompanied me to the Hinterlands to retrieve an item of great value and importance to the work that might be done here that had fallen into enemy hands, and may I once again extend my gratitude to your aid in that matter.

That brings me to the matter at hand: given what we face, and the resources I have brought with me, it would ideally behoove those of us who do have knowledge of such things to work together that we might recognise where one might have overlooked something another would not. If there are those who wish to assist me, you may find me about Skyhold; I have a study for my work, or I will be close to the gardens or in my private rooms should have you need of me. Ideally I would seek elves of this world though I believe there are at least one or two from beyond who may have a unique perspective, though I will turn none away if your interests are truly sincere.

This brings me to the second matter, which is a joint venture I am undertaking with another though at present tis more of an interest than where my heart truly lies. We have both heard that dragons feature in the stories of the worlds of many of you from beyond the rift, as well as some things that could perhaps be mapped to our demons and that values ascribed to them. If you are willing to speak of them, I would gladly listen with an open mind that we might better understand one another, and I can promise that there will be no interrogations or being thrown in the cells for what you might say, and should you wish it, it shall remain strictly between yourself and I.
