Characters: Pietro Maximoff, Kostos Averesch, and Solas
Information: A small Orlesian town at the edge of the former Dales is said to be built atop the ruins of an "ancient elven burial ground," and what sources we have indicates that it is built at the site of a similarly-sized Dalish town which existed before the Orlesian annexation of the Dales. The residents have issued a public declaration that this is not so, and there are certainly no elven burial grounds, or towns, or indeed any elves in this town. It is a nice town and we are nice, normal people, how dare you. Despite this, rumors of magical maladies, widespread stillbirths, and ancient elven burial ground curses are impossible to quell. Everyone in the town is Dursley-level unpleasant, whether they are willing to chat about a curse or otherwise.
Task: Go to said town and speak to the residents, discover whether there truly is an elven artifact at the heart of the town's malaise, and acquire it for the Inquisition.
Outcome: The town is super cursed, but not because of anything elf or artifact-related. A close investigation, should you be inclined to perform one, will reveal that the real problem with the town is that a posessed tree, a Sylvan, once occupied what is now the town square. While the tree itself no longer stands, its root system remains, and is both alive and angry. Digging out the stump upon which the town water-pump is mounted and burning it to ash should solve the problem, but also all these people are exceedingly rude and it's not really Elven Artifacts business to solve their problems. Do with that what you will.
You are welcome to say they volunteered for this, or were ordered/requested to do it as part of their Inquisition duties.
You’re not required to thread with each other, or as a group, but please coordinate OOC to compile a single report.
Don't forget: per mods, division assignments/missions don’t qualify for the player plot AC bonus
