OTHER LEADERS

If you have an IC leadership role other than Division Head or Project Leader, your OOC job is pretty straightforward: RP your character doing their job and propose plots or events when/if necessary. But here are some other notes to help you out.

IC AUTHORITY: Generally speaking, your character can exercise authority within the scope of their role, as checked and balanced by other IC leaders and your character's boss, and you're welcome to have some fun with that. The Captain of the Watch can wake everyone up at 3 a.m. for an emergency drill. The Quartermaster can announce that shipments of food were lost in a storm and everyone will be eating oatmeal for all three meals until a second shipment is secured. OOC, you don't need to do plot requests or have prior approval for that sort of thing as long as it's purely fun/flavor or a one-off event that won't have long-lasting impact and that people can easily opt out of (by being away from the Gallows for a day or two, for instance).

You're also welcome and encouraged to submit plots based on your character's role. The Head of Special Acquisitions can submit plots focused on finding a legendary weapon or artifact somewhere, the Trademaster can propose a plot to go impress some merchants to secure a good deal on weaponry, etc.

HIERARCHY: The individual your character reports to in their leadership role is noted on the list, so if your character wants to propose any major initiatives, having an IC discussion with their boss or OOCly clearing it with their boss's player first is a good idea. Once that's done, you can submit plot requests to us.

SPACE: We've expanded the Central Tower rooms listings to give all of the IC positions offices in the Central Tower. (These are mostly random, so if you'd your character to be next door to a particular position or have to share an office with someone else for CR purposes, let us know via mod contact and we'll shift things around.) You're also free to assume that your character has plenty of room to safely store and lock up anything else they need for their jobs in empty rooms or the underground levels.

OTHER RESOURCES: Unless we announce a shortage elsewhere, you're free to assume that your character has the funding and resources necessary to do their jobs, within reason—Riftwatch as an organization is stretched thin, so your character should ICly be aware of that and mindful of waste unless you want them to get fired for misuse of funds. If you want to say your character is getting their hands on something abnormal or significantly expensive, like a dozen Orlesian lions and the world's greatest lion-tamer to train them to dance to impress new recruits, make sure you run it by us first.

We also strongly encourage deciding your character has already used up their budget or otherwise doesn't have access to funds/resources, if only temporarily, when it would make a plot or event more fun to RP.

SCOUTING

The Scouting Division encompasses traditional scouting, tracking, and reconnaissance work, along with more espionage-focused tasks like surveillance, intelligence-gathering, and cryptography.

RIFTS & THE VEIL
↠ Personnel↠ Reports↠ Archives↠ Inbox
Figuring out how to permanently strengthen the veil to prevent further tears, who and what rifters are, and how to prevent the anchors from eventually killing those who have them are all high priorities. Kirkwall's particularly thin Veil makes it a good—if slightly dangerous—testing ground for many of these efforts.

OTHER POWERS
↠ Personnel↠ Reports↠ Archives↠ Inbox
The Inquisition now knows just how important an ally the dwarves can be, and would like to make a push to establish stronger relations with them. The secretive Qunari have the military might to be either powerful allies against Corypheus or opportunistic conquerors if the fight against him weakens continental Thedas. Learning more about these groups and their plans, whether it ultimately results in an alliance or open opposition, is a priority for the Inquisition's northern arm.

HOSTILE POWERS
↠ Personnel↠ Reports↠ Archives↠ Inbox↠ Assignments
The Warden coup in the Anderfels and Corypheus’ open occupation of Tevinter’s capital have left both nations openly opposed to the Inquisition and its efforts to restore order. The Hostile Powers project (previously a more broadly focused Northern Powers) is focused on identifying and exploiting opportunities to disrupt Corypheus’ control over those countries.

ELVEN ARTIFACTS
↠ Personnel↠ Reports↠ Archives↠ Inbox
Evidence indicates that Corypheus has taken an interest in ancient elven ruins—and even if he hadn't, eluvians and other ancient artifacts could be powerful tools for whoever holds them. The Inquisition will be devoting some of its personnel to searching for these ancient mysteries and making sure they do not fall into the wrong hands.

CORYPHEUS' HISTORY

While all projects are ultimately geared toward stopping Corypheus, this one focuses specifically on identifying the scope of Corypheus' abilities, his personal origins, his motives and thought processes, and the lost methods and rituals used to lure and imprison him, in an effort to find any weaknesses that may be exploited to defeat him.

CHANTRY RELATIONS
↠ Personnel↠ Reports↠ Archives↠ Inbox
Though still reeling from political crises and the loss of Divine Justinia, the Chantry remains the most powerful institution in Thedas, and its relationship with the Inquisition has always been ambiguous at best. It is imperative that the Inquisition work to clarify and improve that relationship lest the Chantry turn its considerable influence against the organization. Working with the Chantry is also the Inquisition's best hope of shaping the ultimate outcome of the Mage/Templar conflict and the future of both the Circles and the Templar Order.

BASE OPERATIONS
↠ Personnel↠ Reports↠ Archives↠ Inbox
A catch-all project for characters who want to focus on the day-to-day aspects of running the keep in Kirkwall. Characters who choose Base Operations as their primary project will be able to take on official roles/titles such as Quartermaster, Stablemaster, Head Surgeon/Healer, Apothecary, Archivist, Head Cook, Captain of the Watch, etc. (with some co-leadership as necessary when we have duplicate sign-ups). Characters who choose it as a secondary project can be Assistant to those same positions. This project's leader will be the Gallows' Seneschal. Unlike other projects, it will rarely have specifically-relevant mod plots, but these characters will always be welcome to participate in plots in other areas.

RED LYRIUM
↠ Personnel↠ Reports↠ Archives↠ Inbox
In addition to being dangerous to civilians, red lyrium allows Corypheus to control or influence those it infects and to augment the abilities of his forces. Red lyrium is currently being cultivated in the Sunless Lands and has been sighted growing in darkspawn in the Anderfels. The Inquisition needs to stop its spread and prevent Corypheus from continuing to use it as a weapon.
