We've just received word from the Orlesian front line.
As I'm sure we're all aware, barring the fall of the Val Chevin blockade, there has been little movement from the front over the winter. Overland, the Orlesians have been dug in around Val Royeaux, and the same can said of the enemy force's occupation in Val Chevin, evacuated Montfort, and beyond. That said, it appears [a little arch; Riftwatch has been informed of the fact, not consulted] that with Spring approaching, the bulk of the allied army - including the Orlesian force, the Inquisition, and the scores Divine Beatrix has managed to train over the winter - has begun to make their move.
They mean to retake Montfort then proceed to recapture Ghislain, with the aim being to divide the Tevinter-Ander army and interrupt supply lines between Perendale and Val Chevin. Unsurprsingly, Corypheus' forces have responded in kind and the fighting has presently come to a head southwest of Montfort.
[Dry as kindling:]
If anyone else has exciting new plans for the Spring they'd like to share - re-papering your parlor, or the deployment of the half legion of foot soldiers you've been keeping in your back pocket -, I'm sure we'd all be delighted to hear them.
private.
Orlais is not above throwing droves of elves to the frontlines. If they prevail, it is good. If they die, that is also of benefit.
But the Marquise is to be trusted. If this is her idea, her initiative, than oui. I do not know that she would sign her name to anything that is of bad faith.
[ An odd mix of uncertainty and conviction. She would like very much to wholly believe what she is saying. That it will be this way. ]
