Inquisition, there is a matter that we must discuss, one that I pray you will grant your full attention and consideration, and that I hope you will treat with the gravity that it demands.

( Near silently, Herian slowly exhales. Uncaptured by the crystal she closes her eyes and stays very still, before opening them again and looking towards Lakshmi and Julius. Julius, a fellow Circle mage, a thinker with a honeyed tongue, Lakshmi, a skilled diplomat and tactician (keep your friends close and your very difficult employees who can be destructive closer). There are more she would like to have present, to have their voice heard on it more immediately, but this was the best that could be done in the circumstances. Perhaps, as well, less it better when the waters run the risk of becoming muddied (if not mud outright).

She’d like very much for things to become simple and easy. She knows better than to expect it. )

It has come to my attention that, ( the faintest of pauses, if only because this is so surreal a thing to be saying at all, let alone announcing ) a cure for Tranquility has been discovered, and utilised, by members of our Inquisition. For any unfamiliar with what Tranquility might mean, it refers to an act undertaken to divorce a mage of their connection to the Fade, stripping us of our magic and our emotions. We exist, still, but— some consider it a living death. I personally think that is a sweeping dismissal of the Tranquil, their capabilities and their personhood, but let us not digress.

This might be viewed as a great gift, or a destructive act. We must consider what it means within the Inquisition, and what it means for our relationship with the Chantry. Its implications will reverberate throughout the Chantry and, indeed, all of Thedas.

The Grand Enchanter is already aware of this development. If you would care to share your thoughts, your concerns, and proposals for how we might move forward, I would be glad to hear them. This cannot be resolved by any small group of us, and requires our collaboration and cooperation with one another.
