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.

No--what does it do?

It makes them...flat. It takes their emotions away, and their ability to do magic.

I don't know if we can reverse it. And I don't know if we could track and retrieve those mages at the same time as we try to get the ones traveling to Tevinter back.

...Why do they do that?

They said it was to stop mages who were too dangerous to do magic. Ones that were a danger to themselves and others.

That wasn't always true.

They make them into people who aren't people. Why are they allowed to do that?
tender: (Default)

[personal profile] tender 2020-04-07 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Because they think we're dangerous. And they think that justifies it.

[ >:| A pause, a bitter pause. ]

We should stop them.

I want to. Most people do. After Corypheus is dealt with, we'll probably go back to fighting over it unless the Chantry changes their mind on a lot of things.

Matthias talked to you about that, didn't he? The war?

[personal profile] justashotaway 2020-04-08 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

I will help with the war after this. The Chantry has too much power for something that isn't true.

You're very good, Laura.

[ :c ]

I hope you won't have to help us. I hope there's a solution that isn't a fight, but I don't know. I don't know if it's possible for them to let it be.
