NOTES: For some context or in person action, have This closed log all about Gavin's recent life choices, and this somewhat related open log by Aragorn.

I am a little new here, and perhaps I've missed something important, but is it common practice to lock up innocent people, for no reason? I was given to understand that this organization, this Inquisition, is meant to stand as some kind of bastion for all, a saving grace in the face of sure doom. Or is that just pretty words, to hide the truth?

[He pauses, just for a moment, but despite the lack of visual information, it has all the laser-like focus of a nun's stern disapproval. You have been found wanting, young inquisition. Shame on you.]

Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast, for those who might not have heard, seems to have decided that it is appropriate for her to act as judge, jury, and-- well, a law unto herself, concerning the behavior of Rifters. I wonder, with everything else that's happened since my arrival here, if she thinks no one has noticed.

[He means, perhaps, the issue with Anders, among other things. A good strategist knows how to use their shield; the timing wasn't the only suspect thing about all this, but it certainly seemed like a factor, to him.]

I'll get to the point: Galadriel should be freed if she's done nothing, or if she, or anyone else [Not to name names, Gavin Ashara] has done significant wrong, there should be a fair trial, open to public scrutiny. What happened here is, in my opinion, inexcusable.

Then yes. [An almost smile, because knowledge is knowledge and she does love to learn. It's an apt comparison.

[Then a sobering.]

What concerns me is the precedent it sets. Without any system of checks or balances, how is corrected when mistakes are made? Especially in cases as this, with rifters like myself who may not understand everything in this rather large and varied world. If we make a mistake, and the reaction is - overzealous - we don't have an army willing to swoop in and defend us. Are we meant to wait in a jail of a world we didn't ask to come to until someone admits they overstepped?
