FORM: Sending crystal!
SENDER: Thranduil
RECIPIENT: All the Rifters. (Just the Rifters.)
WHAT: Now that the Tourney's done...
WHEN: The day after everyone returns for the tourney.
WHERE: Kirkwall!
NOTES: The stunning next step to the Rifter Phylactery p...lot?

I hope we are all somewhat recovered from the Tournament. We should all be very pleased with our efforts. The very warm farewell before the matter of the Anders incursion was a result of your hard work-- all of you.

And now we find ourselves returned to Kirkwall. I begged patience from many of you, and I thank you for it. Skyhold wishes for us to come and speak with a delegation from the Chantry and the Templars much as the mages did. I will be attending, as will Obi-Wan Kenobi and Araceli Bonaventura. Both are known well to the leadership of Skyhold and very familiar with Thedas itself.

However, we need a fourth for our party, and this I leave to you. Any Rifter is eligible for nomination. I would suggest that you choose carefully. Ideally, our fourth would be familiar with Thedas and settled into the Inquisition, as well as accustomed to dealing with pressure with grace.

There will be a box outside my office with slips for nominations nearby. Please record your name and the name of your nominee below it. I would appreciate responses turned in with all haste.

I suggest Findekáno. He has the grace and presence of mind that so many lacked in Valinor and on Middle Earth. He also has a generous heart for those in true need. He was High King and worthy of the office where his elders had failed. Furthermore he is strong in battle and he does not let his fear rule him. There is a reason he was named "the Valiant".

I fear his accomplishments in Arda will mean little here, and less when our listeners will have no idea what Valinor or the position of High King of the Noldor means.

How goes the forging of my commission?

I am perfectly capable of explaining, but I did not wish to leave others with an entire speech.

The knife is done; the sword needs some refining. I feel the weight of it is off. But I shall fix it.
