SUBJECT: The Best Shade Plans
PARTICIPANTS: Barrow & Marcoulf
CLASSIFICATION: Public
DATE FILED: Late Drakonis
STATUS: Complete
SUMMARY: With the shifting front line in occupied Orlais threatening a collection of culturally significant Orlesian paintings, two Riftwatch agents were sent to travel ahead of the opposing armies and rescue the artwork before it could either be destroyed or confiscated by Northern forces.

REPORT:
At the direction of their division, Serah Barrow and Monsieur de Ricart remanded themselves directly to the Château de l'Orfort in Northern Orlais and there recovered the following works (since packed and crated appropriately for shipment to Val Royeaux):

x Liberation of Andraste
x Portrait of Blanche de Bienvenue
x The Fieldhands
x The Trials of Divine Joyous II

And some others which 'Did not have names either on the frame or the canvas, but may be identified by someone with a trained eye for such things.'

Having eluded a clash between Orlesian and Tevinter-Ander forces, Serah Barrow and Monsieur de Ricart returned here with all due haste and without delay other than certain conditions which might be expected of the road and weather given the season.

Respectfully,
X

NEXT STEPS: Not applicable.

CLASSIFICATION: Private for Div Heads
DATE FILED: idk like back when it happened so fifty years ago or mid-March or something
STATUS: Complete
SUMMARY: A crack team of consummate professionals venture into the Fade to find and map the locations of some very useful magical mirrors.

REPORT:


Attatched is an approcksimate map of the ELUVIANS we were abel to find, and nottes on where they lead, if known.

We’ll need to investegate the unknown destenations (hard to identify mountans and caverns) to make the map more ackurate, and secure the buildings and ruins probably. PROSEED WITH CAUTION!! The third eluvian from the left ackording to my diagram spits out over a cliff. Loxley nearly fell off it!

Of partickular notte is the eluvian marked in green red. It leads to a house in Minrathous that is currently ockupied. We made sure not to leave any trase behind, they never knew we were there.


[ SUPPLEMENTARILY in Richard Dickerson’s tightly packed and very tidy hand: ]

As noted above, the primary outlet of concern is located within the attic of a multilevel home in Minrathus. The home is located on a busy street and was occupied at the time of our arrival, although the attic seems seldom-visited. There is a single window with a view to the street below. Furniture and artworks stored within the attic might be indicative of wealth. The floor and stored furniture are coated in dust, making more thorough investigation beyond the threshold of the eluvian difficult without a means to mask hand and footprints.

The eluvian itself is covered with a sheet.

We did not touch or disturb anything, beyond what was necessary to sweep away evidence of our passing. I would consider removing one of the smaller artworks from the location to assist with identification of the homeowners lower risk than attempting an examination on site.


[ He’s included a blocky sketch of the attic as seen from a perspective adjacent to the eluvian. ]

NEXT STEPS: Gotta figure out how to secure the eluvian in Minrathous, since the house it’s in is occupado.

NOTES & LINKS: we’re gonna keep threading it out here
