A thought, Inquisition.

( haaaay friends, it’s ya gurl Marisol. Her tone is light, easy breezy. )

I see you have two Rifters, a Templar and one of the Dalish heading the divisions, but no mages of this world hold such influential posts. Do you suppose we are to see lands and titles handed to Rifters, as well?

I ask because it appears you are happy to hand power to people whose identity we have no way of verifying, nor their experience, and fall over yourselves to justify Rifters holding this power, but… are happy to see mages from this world lose what should be theirs?

These are separate issues, I realise, but it appears… strange. Especially strange when the Rifters have all fallen into a blue lunacy.

[There's some muted conversation occurring the the background as Loghain activates the crystal and considers his message; maybe he's inside a tavern or a mess hall, or close enough to one of those two locations that the conversation from within is impossible to get away from. He clears his throat.]

Greetings, Inquisition.

[Off to a good start, so far.]

My horse's tack is now rather worse for wear after innumerable weeks on the open road. Thus far I have had some difficulties [read: is being ignored by] connecting with Inquisition blacksmiths to take a look at her equipment. Looking for recommendations for decent blacksmiths in Kirkwall instead.
