FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Cyril Ashara
RECIPIENT: Locked to all elves and elf-blooded - not just the Dalish, anyone with elf blood is included.
WHAT: Cyril wants to talk about Galadriel.
WHEN: A couple of days after Galadriel's imprisonment.
WHERE: Skyhold. Cyril is broadcasting from his and Merrick's room. Merrick is around in the background while Cyril talks, so you can assume he's open to thread jump when needed.
NOTES: This is basically that whole bit of the Civil War plot where the Dalish are super pissed off about Galadriel being tossed in jail. Cyril wants the opinion of others so they can put together a formal request for Galadriel's release. - Now in the right com!

Aneth ara.

Some of you know me, others may not. My name is Cyril, of Clan Ashara. I'm sending this message to all within the Inquisition who have the blood of Our People because I feel we should each have a say in this matter.

An elvhen woman named Galadriel has been imprisoned for refusing to pledge herself to the Inquisition. If you have not met Galadriel... [He trails off for a moment here, as if considering his words carefully.]

She is all that we have lost.

[Then, another pause, as he realizes that's not the best way to get city elves on his side.]
If you have not had the pleasure of speaking with her, I highly suggest it.

Either way, the thought that an elf can be tossed into a cell for refusing to agree to pledge themselves to a human religious organization is unsettling.

Many of us are here because we've done just that, because we realize the Inquisition is the best chance we have to restoring Order to the world, but the fact that this has happened to an elvhen woman is [One more pause, as he doesn't want to curse here.] ... extremely troubling.

I propose that we formerly request that Galadriel be released immediately. She is not a threat and whatever suspicion the Right Hand holds against the Rifters should be handled in a mature manner, not by throwing an innocent woman in prison for daring to refuse to submit.

I want to welcome your opinions as all of us will be face the consequences of such a request, most humans do have trouble telling us apart after all. [And that's meant to be more of a joke, perhaps poorly timed.]

Cyril. Very good to hear from you, though I truly wish it were under better circumstances.

It is quite troubling that she saw fit to arrest Galadriel when I can think of so many more potential issues among the Inquisition. [That's spoken wryly.] I do think it might be good to address Cassandra formally. Perhaps requesting an exact purpose to the arrest, and how long the term is to last.

I'm curious about something. If this is more than the People. [Because he gets the feeling it is.]

I'd be happy to spend more time with you when there isn't a crisis.

I think there's a lot of issues going on right now, but the idea of tossing an elven woman into a cell is what is upsetting me.

Just call for me, and I am yours for the taking.

Fair enough, considering how easily they allow humans to walk around. [There are a lot of concerns, but that does stick out. Even he can't really ignore that.] I'll at least do us a favor and see if I can poke around and get any further information.

[They all have stakes in this.]

I'd like that. Having more information will make this easier to protest.

And here I was, telling myself I'd stay out of the politics. [Dramatic sigh.] Alas. I'll try to be sure it's worth the while.

If you don't want your name attached I can keep quiet.

Oh, it's fine. It's not as if it's my real name anyway, we both know that.

True.

Let me know what you discover?

Of course. And keep me posted on how things progress from your end.

I will. I'll also check in for the fun of it.

You do know how I like fun.

Until then.
