FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Thranduil
RECIPIENT: Inquistion
WHAT: New, alive boss. (sorry, Val)
WHEN: Post Hello Kitty Island Adventure
WHERE: Kirkwall!
NOTES: Census time!

Good evening, fellow members of the Inquisition. I am Thranduil, a Rifter.

I have had the pleasure of meeting most of you during my time here in Thedas, numbering, at present, a little under two years. I have done my best to become a contributing member of the force dedicated to halting the monster known as Corypheus and his foul machinations across this land. As it becomes apparent that I may well be spending the rest of my life here, I have sought to educate myself on the manners and histories of Thedas so that I might be of better use to the Inquisition, who saw fit to host me and the others like me.

I have recently been appointed as the head of the Research division. I am honored and humbled by the appointment, and so vow to do my utmost to stand as an example of how we guests ought to conduct ourselves whilst also furthering the noble cause of the Inquisition.

[ he stops for a moment, to allow that to sink in, before continuing. ]

In that vein, I am announcing a reorganization of the division with an eye to the priorities most crucial to the Inquisition. Signing up for a meeting time may be done in person, as there is a schedule on my office door, located on the top floor of the Gallows, or over the crystals. I have no intention of requiring anyone to switch projects; rather, I wish to outline the standards I will be setting in place for communication, conduct, and reports.

Furthermore, and should they be willing, I welcome all project leaders who feel as though we have not yet properly become acquainted to come to my office and introduce themselves, as all members of the Inquisition ought to make use of the library and benefit from the information gathered by my department.

Again, it is a pleasure and an honor to hold this position. I thank you for your time.

[ gently, almost as an afterthought: ]

And, ah-- Maedhros Fëanorion, and Fingon Fingolfinion, [ why, sindarin naming conventions.] allow me to be the first to welcome you in kinship to Thedas. My office door is open to you as well.

[Private to Iskander, Petrana, and Beleth:]

I believe it would not be amiss to meet for dinner this evening, and discuss the new state of things. I have much to learn.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Congratulations are in order, what a change to have someone sensible and reasonable to deal with.

[You always have a private invitation to Sundermount.]

I think 'sensible' is the highest praise I could have ever hoped to receive from you, Lady Morrigan.

[ Private: ]

Are you comfortably funded for your assortment of... interests?

Few have ever heard it come from my mouth with sincerity. Know that should you need anything of me, you have but to ask; I came to Skyhold once to provide knowled and so I set my sights upon research in Kirkwall.

private;
For the moment, what I work on presently is old and...time consuming. Thank you, I will be sure to let you know should that change, my ties to Celene are no longer quite what they were.

It is a great boon to call you friend.

[ really, she's entirely the short of person he'd be loathe to have as an enemy, even without the spider thing. ]

You need only ask for anything you require. We, after all, have similar ends in mind, and hold the same people dear.

I would request that you notify me if you come upon a spell of a certain nature in your work. Something that would prevent one from conveying knowledge about a topic of one's choosing- spoken, written. I fear it is the sort of thing I would be unlikely to come across in the archives here.

At most I only foresee sufficient funds to ensure the safety of the current eluvians, my own and Merrill's. Being as I know more of them than any other with the Inquisition, I would have the staff guarding them in Skyhold well paid.

[It wouldn't do to have them swayed, not so far from here. Not after all the work involved.]

If such a spell were within Kirkwall's libraries at any time, Meredith's tenure would certainly have struck it from the records. That would be old magic. The sort the Chantry would trust little. Should I find such a thing I will come to you direct.

Are previous agreements in place through my predecessor, or were the funds from your own pocket?

I would greatly appreciate it. I have no intention of being idle in this office.

Through whoever was in charge before, I never bothered to learn their name truth be told. Elven artifacts falls beneath scouting I believe but given that I came to the Inquisition as arcane advisor and that they're hardly out in the field, arguing for them to be considered a research matter made a great deal more sense to me.

The Inquisition has seen too much of it. If I turn up anything that might be of use after our trip from the Wilds, you shall have a full report of it.

As always, you have my thanks. I fear I must return to putting this office in order.

You needn't come here in person unless you wish it. I would not draw you away from your work. You know how to conduct yourself.
