Lord Luthor sent me a gift from Markham, and I need -

( I need in peculiar, double-voiced echo; the sound of a door closing and muffling the continued contribution of her new birds, )

someone willing to perform a small experiment with them and tell me if they're quite safe. I don't like to ask Kieran or my servants to play about with fade-touched things that haven't been deemed so already.

I am bringing them down to the Gallows, so you needn't worry about being turned away at my gate if you're a particularly touchy Warden.

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Christine
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: A quick heads up and she's taking requests for goods.
WHEN: mid Harvestmere
WHERE: Frostback Mountains

[ Christine very rarely has reason to use the crystals to talk to the Inquisition as a whole. Usually she just talks to people one on one. But this time she decides to reach out. ]

It came to my attention while we were in port at Llomerryn that people are selling fragments of red lyrium. If you happen to see anyone out in the world doing so, I ask that you question them as to their supplier so we may track who is doing this and stop them.

[ If they can. It seems very likely that some have purchased these fragments as oddities and are feeling its effects even now. ]

Other than that bit of business, I happen to find myself in the Frostbacks at an Avvar hold called Falcon-Reach and they are willing to sell me goods that are not food-related. They must save all their food for winter. Would anyone wish for me to bring them anything? Within a reasonable price range, that is. You may pay me back for it in coin or errands.

[ There is an amused tone to her voice, but she's quite serious. One should never turn down the opportunity to make people do errands for you to lighten your workload. ]

On my way back to Kirkwall I will also be stopping in Jader should anyone want supplies from there.
