Casting down bad memories

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Beleth Ashara
RECIPIENT: Everyone who's part of the first group to Kirkwall
WHAT: Discussing what's to be done about the statues
WHEN: Sometime between Cloudreach 14th and 20th
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: This isn't an Official Poll that's going to decide things but it's a good way for people to throw out suggestions for voting on and discuss ideas

Good day, to every member of the Inquisition currently helping take care of the Gallows. We've been making some amazing progress, and I'm sure that our contributions will give this place the overhaul that it desperately needs. With time, the Gallows will become a symbol of hope, rather than despair.

If I may, I'd like to take time to discuss ideas for one of those symbols. Specifically, those horrid statues that are strewn about. Now that they will...probably no longer attempt to kill us.

I've been informed that there are artisans willing to melt down the statues and create new ones to be put in their place. Additionally, our group has been given permission to choose what kind of statues would be put up there. Suffice to say, whatever we go with will make a statement about our goals here. The Inquisition is trusting us to make sure that statement is positive.

So, I would like to discuss possibilities with everyone, and see if we can get some good ideas going.

To start the ball rolling, if it's alright, I'd like to share my own proposal. Of course, this is only a suggestion, and I welcome any other voices.

I propose that we have the statues remade to represent the diverse groups within the Inquisition. Have a statue of a dwarf, another of a Dalish, another of a mage, etc, etc. It would send a message of cooperation and coexistence, and hopefully promote such in our new home.

The floor is open for further suggestions.

You can never go wrong with a dragon.

And be sure to represent the Wardens with a griffon, if you're adding various groups.

[arlathvhen]

I...will have to consult the artisans on what molds will be within possibility.

[ She's not sure dragons will be among them. ]

I will note your suggestions, though...perhaps it would be better for the Wardens to be represented by, ah. A Warden? Simply to match the rest. But! It's been put down as a possibility. If things progress in that direction, I'm sure there will be further opportunities to discuss how the Wardens would be represented.

[in_death_sacrifice]

Nothing else will be nearly as intimidating as a dragon... but I understand. These things aren't so easily done.

[And ok, maybe 'intimidate' isn't exactly the idea here, but he thinks it's important to show their might in some way.]

Well, of course, a Warden in itself is a fine idea, too... or a Warden upon a griffon, even. Perhaps it could even be done in the likeness of Garahel or some other legendary figure. But, I also don't want to speak for the order as a whole, merely put my suggestion forth. Others among us may have other preferences. [But maybe don't take advice from Oghren.]

[arlathvhen]

Your suggestion has been noted. I'm sure that if it comes down to it, and that this is the possibility followed, there will be time for the Wardens to discuss amongst yourselves how you want to be represented.

[in_death_sacrifice]

My thanks for taking it into consideration. I'm sure you'll have no shortage of suggestions... that'll be a difficult choice, in the end.

But I'm glad to hear there will be a chance for the Wardens to have some place in this.

[ you had him until the "warden" bit

maybe the dragon and griffon could fight ]

[in_death_sacrifice]

[Well, let's face it, he's TOTALLY NOT OPPOSED to that. Something featuring fierce, bloody combat would be worth it in his opinion.]
