WHAT: the forest & Chantry Relations things
WHEN: once everyone is cured
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: There’s an OOC post regarding Chantry Relations and with a form to involved parties to fill in over here.

Members of the Inquisition, this is Knight Enchanter Amsel. I apologise for demanding your time once again, so soon after my last communication.

Now all are recovered from the sickness, there is an important matter to address. The Chantry Relations project was seeing to the matters regarding the forest grown over the Chantry ruin, and I have been engaging with local Chantry officials to determine its fate. Now it is almost gone in its entirety, we must take a different tact.

I well understand the attachment a number of Inquisition members had to the forest, especially in the wake of losing Dahlasanor, but this is a matter of some delicacy and importance to both locals and the Chantry, so I would beg your patience as we deal with the site and the few trees that remain.

( And for Chantry Relations Project Members only: )

Project members, I think it would be prudent to meet to refocus our efforts and consider what our areas of priority might be; though our particular political alignments and personal opinions differ, we are all of us bound to the Inquisition, and securing the favour of the Chantry will allow us to make use of an influential political ally, and leave our efforts unhampered by the repercussions of their poor opinions. With the sickness now passed, I think it best we press on with our duties.

If you would like to speak with me individually prior to our meeting as a group, that is entirely welcome. Gauging our respective talents and to what methods we are most suited is worth consideration, as well.

Before we get to that, however, I believe it is imperative that we address the matter of the forest that was growing in the ruins of the Chantry, and has since been burned down.

I— ( Where to start? This is a complex matter, contentious, by some counts, and incredibly straightforward for others. )

As stated before, with Knight-Lieutenant Coupe's approval I had taken initial steps to speaking with Chantry leaders in Kirkwall to see how the forest might be dealt with to best suit as a memorial, but now the forest has been largely destroyed we should move quickly before some other unexpected event come to pass. If this matter is of particular interest to you or you’ve suggestions on how we might work with the Chantry to create a fitting memorial and curry favour, I’d be glad of your time and insights.

I may need to call upon you for that. I... have my concerns about my lack of grace of words and the fate of a diplomatic project that is so important.
