Hello Inquisition!

[Here is your cheerful sunshine Warden, everyone.]

I am wondering if I could perhaps borrow some hands, and eyes, and eager minds to help me go through the basements of the Kirkwall Library? There is a chance that we might be able to get our hands on some ancient Tevinter texts, and that would help our research of Corypheus immensely. I'm looking for those who don't mind spending a few afternoons going through volumes of history, of magic and of other topics to perhaps find some hidden gems.

I can't offer much money, I'm sorry, for those looking for coin but! I will buy all the drinks at the Hanged Man later on!

So who is interested?

[circleprodigy]

Ancient Tevinter texts? Count me interested. I may have joined different projects, but I can still try to devote some time nonetheless. As for drinks, we shall see.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Oh marvelous! And who knows what else we might find down there, Inessa! There could be an entire treasure trove of hidden knowledge.

[circleprodigy]

Precisely. It's too good an opportunity not to investigate, and I would love to see at least some of it for myself.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

See, Inessa, this is precisely what I need! Thank you so much for volunteering.

[circleprodigy]

You're welcome. If they allow it, I will bring tea. I'm certain we can be careful.

[Tea is essential to research, never doubt it.]

[universal_charm]

I'm not sure I could be much of a help reading them, but I can surely help sort.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Oh, Jim, that would be lovely! And it would be an excellent time for you to take in a few more lessons about Wardens, if you like. We'll be more than happy to teach you what we know of the volumes we're looking at.

[universal_charm]

My time in trade for questions? Sounds like more than a fair trade, though you may come to regret it, Bethany.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

I look forward to the challenge! And also, the help.

[universal_charm]

My pleasure. It'll be nice to be doing labor inside for a change.

[sulena]

I would like to help if possible. I am a mage that once called the Gallows home so helping your research would be more than enough for me.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Oh, yes ... thank you so much. I would appreciate any help from any of the natives here. I'm Bethany Hawke, by the way.

[sulena]

Oh, I see! Admittedly, I only know your name from stories and tales but it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Saoirse Ceallach.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

A pleasure to meet you, Saoirse. Or would you prefer Miss Ceallach? I want to make sure to use formal titles if you want them.

[sulena]

No, it's fine. Saoirse works just as well if simply because my family name is a mouthful. ( because her first name isn't a mouthful too. )

Please, let me know how you would preferred to be called.

[failedfirst]

I would be interested. [She's very reigned in but the prospect of rare books is exciting.]

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Velenna! Oh thank you! Your help with translating any elven texts we MIGHT find would be invaluable.

[failedfirst]

I doubt we'll find anything elven. This seems like the kind of place that would burn such things.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

You're probably right -- but we will find different things that will make it worth it.

[failedfirst]

I am not so mired in my own heritage that I can't appreciate other historical documentation. It's all interesting, in it's way.

[onlyhymns]

Um. I can help.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Oh, well thank you very much, Cade! I would appreciate it. Are you interested in a particular area of study?

[onlyhymns]

Ah... um. Things to do with the Chantry, I suppose. Or the Order. If that's all right.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Oh my goodness, no, that would be perfectl...y all right! Imagine what we could find down there! They might even have books on Andraste herself, written by Tevinters. What an amazing perspective that would be

[onlyhymns]

Oh. ...all right then. [His tone turns more hopeful. This wasn't hard!]
