It has not escaped my notice, despite all recent events, that I have been in Thedas for one year. [ he lets that sit for a moment. ] Thanks are in order; first to the Inquisition as a whole for their continued hospitality and second, to my own people, for their kindness. Ma serannas. I am pleased that there are elves in worlds other than Arda.
[ his tone switches as he gets into the meat of the announcement. ]
Several months ago, the Seeker and I came into possession of a key. With the events in Orlais as well as the move, we did not have a chance to use it until recently. I am seeking volunteers to travel west. The area, under Inquisition control, presents no dangers beyond local wildlife and the standard dangers of the desert, but I would advise that only those confident enough to handle themselves in combat come forward.
And, ah-- [ styled as an afterthought, but far too deliberate. ] I would like someone confident with written Elven.

[ He switches to a private thread. ]
It is, as we suspected, an Elven temple, with no Venatori presence recently. The maps name the place the Forbidden Oasis. I have not yet been told what is so forbidden about it.
I intend for any artifacts found to be returned to the elves, assuming they are not relevant to the Inquisition's mission. This may involve some gentle handling of the quartermasters and any shemlen that join us. Would you be willing to aid me?

Of course! If they can't be of use to the Inquisition, then the elves should get to keep them.

If I had foreseen the relocation, I would have pursued this sooner. The travel would have been much shorter.

There is also the chance that the key is Tevene in origin, and the scholars are simply mistaken. Still, it is worth pursuing, and I am not so foolish as to turn down the aid of a healer.

It is such a small measure of time, and only the first of many.

There is- or was, perhaps- an elven ruin. The texts refer to it as a possible temple, though why it is called as much when no mention is made of which of the pantheon would be honored there is beyond me.

And maybe I could bring Ghostface with, if I went with? That would help, right?

I've never been to the desert. Do you think you'll see hyenas?
[ this is clearly the most important part of all this — if thranduil asks assistance, he'll have it; that was never a question. ]

[ he has heard of them, seen illustrations. they seem like a creature found in the east. despite seeing several ages, he did not leave his forest often. it was not an option. ]
Would you like to see one?
