FORM: Sending crystal, but also there are notifications written on the notice board about the wall
SENDER: Warden Adrasteia
RECIPIENT: All of Riftwatch
NOTES: none at the moment.

Good morning, Riftwatch. This is Warden Adrasteia, your Morale Officer. I wanted to let everyone know of two things:

Firstly, today is All Soul's Day. For those who don't know, it is a day that we spend remembering those lost to us. While there is no longer a proper Chantry within Kirkwall, I'm sure that there will be some bonfires this evening and perhaps plays that depict Adraste's death. I realize, for those not familiar with Adrastianism, that this seems... dark, to say the least, but. Well.

[ A breath. ]

Secondly, there's a wall in the courtyard now where people can write small notes to those they've lost and place them on the wall. If there's enough interest in that, I will try to commission a stone carver to memorialize the names of those who we've lost, either missing or dead, Rifter or native.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do, or explain further.

Thank you.

[kantikoy]

You're welcome.

How have you been?

[molineux]

I'm... not sure. It's strange, isn't it? We're alive and safe thus far, I should be grateful.

How are you?

[kantikoy]

War, I've found, is very much like that. You feel as if you should be grateful when often what you are is tired.

I guess that's how I am right now. Tired, and also... glad to be doing something, I suppose.

[molineux]

[ with a huff indicating a smile, ] I'm glad it's not just me, at least.

Do you need assistance where you are?

[kantikoy]

I think I'm alright; I returned to Kirkwall a while ago, but I'll be going out again soon on a task in Orlais.

Did you go to Tantervale?

[molineux]

Please be safe. Do you mind if I ask what task it's for?

I did. It wasn't fruitful, but I did what I could. I've never been fond of being so utterly helpless.

[kantikoy]

There were fires, in Orlais and Ferelden, around the same time as the press by the Tevinter forces.

Several of us are going to look into it. I promise I'll be very careful.
