Hello everyone! It's Merrill.

[ Pause. That's maybe obvious, considering how cheerful she sounds, but- eh. ]

I just wanted to remind you all that classes for everyone -- yes, everyone -- are in session in and around Skyhold! We have some volunteer teachers who've done a wonderful job and lots of people are learning about everything from how to write to different cultures to Rifter languages! It's all very exciting, if you ask me.

[ Are you excited, Skyhold?? Be excited! ]

I think it's a great opportunity for us all to learn more about each other and the world we're in. Nothing wrong with that, right?

[ No, there isn't, she will fight you. ]

I'm working with Waver on setting things up properly so that new arrivals can learn without feeling out of the loop, and so that if someone has to miss a class for a mission, they can easily catch up. Teachers, please feel free to give me ideas!

Everyone else - if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Inquisition.
