FORM: Sending crystal, along with a written copy that's been posted.
SENDER: Beleth
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Hey scouts say hi to your new boss
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Everywhere (the written copy has been posted in the Gallows)
NOTES: Here is the inbox to contact her for official scouting stuff.

Hello, and good day to everyone. I am Beleth Ashara, and I have been given the honor of becoming the head of the scouting division here in Kirkwall. I am incredibly grateful that the Inquisition has placed such a significant responsibility into my care, and I pledge that I will do my all to uphold these expectations.

[ She clears her throat quietly. ]

I invite anyone within the scouting division with comments, questions, or other concerns to reach out to me. I have an office that I will be moving into shortly, and you are all welcome to visit or leave a note. If you are new to the Inquisition, or scouting in general, I can help you get set up with resources for whatever you might need to further your skills. If you would like to offer your skills to train new members, I'd be glad to get you in touch with someone who could benefit.

To summarize, if there's anything related to scouting that you need help with, just let me know.

I'm also here to ensure that all members of my division hold themselves to the standards of conduct set by the Inquisition. If anyone takes issue with said conduct of people within my division, I encourage them to please contact me, so I can help sort out the matter, try to ensure that an adequate conclusion is reached, and hopefully ensure that this altercation is not repeated. Anyone reaching out to me will be given as much anonymity as possible, situations considered.

Additionally, I would like to request that those who are currently in charge of looking into elven artifacts, as well as those dealing with our northern neighbors, to please contact me to set up individual meetings. I'd like to learn about your current projects, goals for the future, and what I can do in order to help you achieve them.

...As an aside, I've also been placed in charge of the apothecary. If anyone has any requests for potions or poultices, or interesting ingredients they would like to hand off, I'd be glad to lend my aid.

Thank you for your time, I look forward to working with all of you.

Congrats, Beleth. Let me buy you a drink sometime, to celebrate.

[arlathvhen]

Thank you, Korrin. I'm rather excited about all of it, really.

[gatheringstorm]

As you should be! It's a huge step up. Leliana must be proud.

[arlathvhen]

Leliana was the one who had to decide if I could take this job or not, so...I suppose so. [ She sounds pretty bashful. Admitting she made someone proud?? Crazy. ]

Now I just have to live up to the expectations of the people who put me here.

[gatheringstorm]

You will. She wouldn't have picked you if she didn't think you could do it.

Just remember you don't have to do it all yourself, okay? Delegation is a thing.

[arlathvhen]

That's true. I'll have to get an idea of what kind of workload I have, and what I would be able to delegate. I mean, if I hand important tasks off to someone, and they mess it up, I'll be partly responsible.

But don't worry, I won't overwork myself. That just ends poorly for everyone involved.

[gatheringstorm]

It does, so if you need a break and want to head to the Hanged Man, you're free to grab me for it. Odds are that's what I was going to do anyway.

[arlathvhen]

I've never actually been there yet. Is it...safe?

[ Drunk shems that the Inquisition can't directly punish for being shitlords are a worrying prospect. ]

[gatheringstorm]

...more or less, if you keep in mind that it's a tavern in Lowtown? So, 'safe' is relative. If I'm there, I'll kick the asses of any humans that give you trouble.

[arlathvhen]

...I'll make sure you're there when I go.

[ Sounds KINDA SKETCHY, Korrin. ]
