FORM: crystal
SENDER: Herian
RECIPIENT: all of the Inquisition
WHAT: organising guard stuff
WHEN: backdated to a little after the quarantine announcement
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: regarding Chantry Relations, a separate network post will happen for that post-sickness stuff, but in the meantime I have done an ooc post. And also, THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND. This isn’t relevant, it’s just stuck in my head.

Good day, Inquisition.

This is Knight Enchanter Herian Amsel. I am working with Knight Enchanter Voss during this sickness to ensure proper guard rotation is fulfilled and that are quarantine can be enforced, if necessary. Due to any Templars and rifters making contribution to guard duty being currently incapacitated, volunteers would be gladly received.

We are all well aware of the Gallow’s history, and with that in mind we’d particularly like to encourage mages to contribute to guard duty, in the hopes this will set minds better at ease. I am also eager to ensure that, if there are the numbers for it, we try to make sure that the guard is dominated by no particular fraternity - again, in the hopes of offering some peace of mind to all the mages here present.

If you wish to volunteer for the guard roster, please respond with your name, combat skills and experience. If you are a mage, responding with your chosen fraternity if you have one would be greatly appreciated. Mages are by no means demanded to declare this information if you consider it a matter of privacy, but it may then be that we do not add you to the present roster.

Less immediately pressing, but any insight into combat skills and experience levels amongst mages granted to us will allow Knight Enchanter Voss and I to better prepare for commencing combat and defence training for mages, so whatever information you can offer us would be greatly appreciated.

I have also recently taken leadership of the Chantry Relations project, if there should be any with pressing need to discuss related matters, or if there is any further assistance I can offer. Project members, I will look to speaking with you all regarding matters once our present situation is better in hand.

Enchanter Hawthorne, ( she says, very formally greeting someone who she knew when they were both small and had considerably less dignity; there is a little more warmth in her voice than might usually be found there, but it's subtle. ) I am glad to hear it.

We will happily take your skills into consideration. I'm curious as to why you think the fraternities are limiting. ( Genuinely curious, too, not being a sassy jerk and using 'curious' as a judgmental code. There are certainly different reasons it could be deemed so, but she wonders about the specifics. )

Well, views can change, and trying to slot myself into one particular viewpoint just... never worked for me. I can see the reason for a lot of different arguments, and I have friends in each of the fraternities.

( audra do u have commitment issues )

There are times when flexibility can be met with harsh response, even if you do not support someone's enemies. The failure to stand by their side can be cause enough for repercussions.

( Thoughtful, concerned, not condemning. )

I hope that you've not suffered so for your... flexibility.

[ She doesn't have commitment issues she just wants everyone to get along and be friends ok!!!!! ]

Not that I know of. I mean, I know what I believe in. I guess, technically I'm closest to being an Aequitarian, but there's aspects there that I don't agree with. If people take issue with me of course I'll talk to them about it, but I don't see a reason why people can't get along with different viewpoints.

Mayhaps because there is so much at stake. We are bound together in our duty here, but we each of us have visions of what we hope the world might be shaped to be in the future, and some of those visions cannot co-exist. Tradition would dictate that the resolution of those differing visions could well come at the cost of lives.

[winterwinds]

Maybe. But I choose to believe that people will figure out how to get along.

One can hope.
