[In the dead of night, a loud somewhat drunk voice erupts.]

Good evening Riftwatch!

This is the Maker speaking.

What makes a good person?

Good morning, Riftwatch.

If we haven't met yet, my name is Brother Gideon, and I will be taking over operations for Project Haven, working to cultivate our organization's relationship to the Chantry.

In looking to the Maker and Blessed Andraste for guidance, I hope to bring clarification of our moral cause to those who still have doubts. I will be attempting to work closely with the clergy of Kirkwall and elsewhere, that we may strengthen our message among and gain the support of the faithful.

If you have any concerns or suggestions, or would like to volunteer your time, I can be reached by crystal or found in the infirmary during the day.

While we're on the subject of change and the inexplicable--

[Flint hardly echoes the lighthearted quality of the Gallows' most recent broadcasts, though that can hardly be much of a surprise. This part should be though:]

We've received word from Orlais that the siege at Ghislain has come to an end.

As you likely know, our allies have been camped there for some time to maintain pressure on what was believed to be a significant Tevinter-Ander force occupying the city. However, it seems that force has successfully contrived to make their escape. Spies recently discovered the city to be manned only be a skeleton force, the bulk of the body having likely slipped away under cover of severe winter weather.

Ordinarily, I might congratulate the success of recapturing Ghislain regardless of the problems inherent to a disappearing army. Unfortunately, [is not so different from a blacksmith weighing a hammer and judging the angle at which best to strike a blow.] In the haste to retake the city, a number of gylph traps were tripped. This has reportedly caused much of the city's destruction. The exact extent of damage and the number of casualties among our allies' forces is presently unconfirmed, but I would advise everyone be prepared for the possibility that they are significant.

As always, change breeds the capacity for more. It is in our best interest to discover where the Tevinter-Ander force has gone, how they achieved their retreat and how they mean to make use of these reinforcements. Expect more work to those ends, and in support of the regions affected by the damage done to the city.
