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.

Hello! Thanks for signing up. You’re in, and here is some info.

WHO: Korrin, Fenris, and up to two more people—each of you can have a plus one, as long as either (1) they’re a reasonably appropriate choice for the mission or (2) we talk about it and work out why they’re being allowed to take an unreasonably inappropriate choice. Basically, don’t make my character look like an idiot for not telling yours they can’t take a boisterous drunk into a meeting with royalty or a helpless researcher into a war zone, and you’ll be good.

Kostos would put Korrin in official charge because she has some seniority and more familiarity with the area, so she’s the one on the hook for the formal report, but it’s fine to delegate it.

WHEN: Sometime before March 31/Drakonis 30. It can be an ongoing thing with multiple trips required or a single adventure or whatever else you guys want, but try to have a report in by March 31.

WHAT: Hunting down slavers! Starting with a few leads on individuals in Ayesleigh who were accused of kidnapping elves, humans, and a few Vashoth from the city’s poorer districts, but ultimately released due to a lack of evidence, your characters can tail them—or kidnap and question them—to make their way up a chain of slave suppliers and smugglers that stretches from Seere to Treviso. Whether they kill those who are involved or not will be up to them, though they would be politely asked not to leave a trail of carnage and brutality linked clearly to the Inquisition, since it needs to maintain a reputation for civility.

You guys can make up whatever NPC slavers/smugglers you want for this, mix detective work and finger-breaking in whatever quantities you want, and make it take three stops or thirteen. You can bust up a whole den of slavers and free their captives if you want, or not. You’re welcome to make things more complicated—almost get caught, chase scenes, trouble with city guards who have been bribed by the slavers, whatever else is fun.

All that’s really required is that the very top of the food chain ultimately point toward the involvement of Viliana Malafronte, an Antivan pirate captain. Malafronte will be at sea and unable to be captured or pursued at this time, without additional resources.

HOW: You can make everything a group effort if you want, or divvy things up however you like. And it doesn’t matter if you RP every aspect or just pick a scene or two that would be the most fun to write and handwave the rest.

ETC: Let me know if you have any questions.
