FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Ilias Fabria
RECIPIENT: Everybody
WHAT: A Chantry brother and a Mortalitasi walk into Orzammar, and dwarves don't love them for some reason??
WHEN: Nowish
WHERE: Orzammar

Apologies for the interruption, [ is not the strongest start to Ilias's first sending crystal broadcast; he sounds a bit distracted. ]

Is anyone available who might have [ Hm. ] particular experience with dwarven culture? Specifically, perhaps easing tempers, or appropriate means to show appreciation for one's hosts, or---

[ How do dwarves even work??? ]

Myself and Brother Jehan had some preparation before traveling to Orzammar, of course, but we seem to have-- [ Casually offended the dwarven scribe at the entrance, and watched the remainder of their meeting cascade downhill? ]

It could be going better. [ Help. ] Any advice would be appreciated.

Bring them a large chocolate cake. Many layers, good frostings.

[libratus]

A... [ ?? ] Sorry, a cake? Is that the usual sort of gift?

[strangel]

Cake is very good gift. Everyone is pleased with cake.

I think it depends on what you did to piss 'em off.

[iceblade]

I don't have personal experience on my side but from what I've been told, be careful to what you agree to do for them. There are rivalries all over the place, and you never known if helping one house will piss off another with more influence, and their friends. It's just as sticky as Orlais.

Know you the caste of the dwarf you have so offended, and have you been given to know what you have done?

[degenere]

Will you kindly ask Brother Jehan if he is in a fight with the baroness?

[I promise it is related, someone else might say. Someone who cared about inclusiveness, about people being in on the joke; someone who cared about anyone except Jeannot and Freddie and Val. In short: someone who is not Val.]

[bouchonne]

Apologize for your height.

Alcohol?
