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.

Mm, doubtful. Perhaps it sounded good to them at the time. All the Inquisition's mages, though—that is very strange.

What? There's no way it's all the Inquisition's mages. Anything big enough to make that happen I'd have heard about myself.

Hey kid [ presumably this is directed at Laura ] how many mages? Did you hear who?

Let us hope that's true.

My name is Laura.

['Kid' is better than some of the pet names people have attached to her, but it still isn't her favourite.]

Seventeen left. Some were taken. I do not know their names.

Hello Laura, I'm Nell. [ Her accent is primarily Nevarran, but faintly muddled by other, harder to identify Northern Thedas influences. ]

Seventeen isn't good, but that's a lot less than all, so it could be worse.
