[ Iorveth's had time to calm and discuss their next course of action with others, and he's really wishing he hadn't made his initial reaction so public as he did. force of habit from a century worth of rebel leading and freedom fighting, sue him. so, now he's trying to help the rifters from self-sabotage that hurts all of them.
this is spoken in response to "I don't represent every Rifter, now do I". ]
But they believe you do, and that's all that will matter when we take our arguments to Skyhold to win our freedom.
You've every right to be angry, but these men can do nothing at all to change what's done with this policy. Only in that they can bait you to look like the savage and alien threats the Templars and Chantry would like us to be seen as. Do not give them the opportunity.
[ radio silence on the issue. that's what the rifters need right now. no natives currently in the gallows has any ability to fix this for them with talk, only make it worse. ] Besides that, the more of our arguments we voice now, where Skyhold can freely hear, the more time our enemies have to prepare counter-points for negotiations. Though we aren't unified as a people, if we want to insure any single one of us has freedom from these things, we need to keep all our possible plans or advantages to ourselves until it's time to present them.
If you wish to share your thoughts and skills, I'd suggest taking them only to other Rifters, where you can't be overheard. Thranduil, our Research leader, is wise counsel as well. None of us want to see this happen, but we're in a foreign land playing with foreign rules.
