FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Deacon and Myrobalan
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Confess your weird magic Inquisition
WHEN: Throughout the month
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES:
HERE is the survey sheet if you want to just fill it out that way. HERE are the assignment details. Also if you've got a rifter and/or a non-loyalist mage who'd like to be part of this please PM Deacon's journal and we'll sort it since they'd include one of each to try to get better coverage.
There's the option to self-report via npc if your character wouldn't but you'd like to. If you'd like to report on other characters please check with that player first but I know we got spies and shady folks and that's fun but let's make it fun for everyone!

Greetings Inquisition. In light of the negotiations some of your number participated in there are of course promises to be upheld on the Inquisition's end. Namely concerning magic or abilities those among you called rifters possess not native to Thedas as well as magic outside the Circle.

If you'd complete this survey, you'd have our gratitude. If you will have it, you'll have the Chantry's gratitude too: I needn't have to tell you the importance of not sitting idle, all of you.

We'll be available if you'd rather do this in person but copies of the survey are available in the Chantry Relations office.

As with the medical surveys and the information we’re keeping on the shardbearers, this will be maintained--and transferred to the Chantry--under a cipher. If you’ve further concerns about what might be done with what we’ve gathered, [and Myr’s tone says he very well knows there will be,] I’d ask you bring them to me as the new head of Chantry Relations.

[Not for him this whole formal announcement stuff; or, more likely, he’s had too much on his mind to make one. Nevertheless, a splinter of his usual humor:] I’ll be with the surveys in the office.

As did the Old Gods to the Magisters of Tevinter. You might read from the Canticle of Threnodies or if you haven't heard it, I would be glad to speak to you of it, this is what I've done for years in Markham, taught the Chant, given the guidance a Brother might but it is clear in what it says. That they whispered to the men of Tevinter who heard and raised altars, and in exchage there were more hushed whispers for the darkest magic.

[Had this one come before or after the quarantine? He'll have to find her Division leader, ask why any of this is allowed. The Dalish he can understand when the Dalish have long been here but this is a danger.]

There is always death. There is always suffering. The Maker sheds a tear for the suffering of those who don't deserve it but this is the world where the Maker's own prophet was murdered, betrayed by her husband of flesh and blood which caused the Maker to turn from us again. You should care not for what I think but for what the Chantry thinks for the Chantry will have a say in all this. The Inquisition will not last forever.

I do not care what the Chantry says if they think that they can take my God from me.

[ Her voice is set, strict, sure. ]

I will take your lessons gladly, but nothing will turn me from Her.

You are part of the Inquisition formed by the Divine in Thedas where the Chant has been since the beginning of the calendar.

When lessons begin perhaps you will understand better with someone who would be dead without it to teach.

[Deacon's not above leveraging that to better argue the value of the Chant.]
