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.
Reports for project-relevant research, missions, etc., can be filed here. The provided form is a template; feel free to add additional fields if you need them.
SUBJECT: PARTICIPANTS: Cyril, Fenris, Skadi, Freddie DATE FILED: When they've returned from the Inquisition STATUS: Complete SUMMARY: While the Inquisition was stranded on the island, a group of Qunari approached and offered their aid in their escape. In return, the Qunari wanted information about the red lyrium infection in the island.
REPORT: To Whom It May Concern:
During our recent trip, the Inquisition encountered a group of Quanri. AS we were stranded, it seemed wise to take them up on their offer. After discussing things with those who had experience with Quanri we were able to meet with them. We provided information about the source of the red lyrium and other facts we had uncovered while also showing we had a handle on what was happening.
We were able to escape the island because of the Qunari's actions.
SUBJECT: Kal-sharok PARTICIPANTS: Colin DATE FILED: Drakonis 5 STATUS: Ongoing SUMMARY: Reaching out to Kal-sharok in hopes of a diplomatic relationship.
REPORT:
Madame Ambassador,
Several weeks ago, while doing some routine filing, I discovered a document from Kal-sharok detailing terms of negotiation. It seems we were considering an alliance with them. I immediately began to work with Kit, the late head of Other Powers, to go about learning more. Their first term was that we scout two areas in the Hunterhorn Mountains and take care of what we found there. As the document is a year old, there was little to take care of--there was evidence that the dwarves took care of it themselves when we did not. I have submitted the report on what was found at those locations to Madame Ashara.
When I wrote to Larock, the seeming ambassador for Kal-sharok, he gave me new terms for an alliance. Kal-sharok wants some of the passageways between it and Orzammar to be cleared and restored. They want this to happen without Orzammar knowing it was Kal-sharok that wanted it. They do not care how, but they want us to convince them that it is our idea and give them a reason the Inquisition wants those passages cleared.
Their previous terms had been for all of our lyrium trade to go through Kal-sharok, cutting out Orzammar entirely. That demand is no longer on the table, but it might inform us a little as to their intentions with these passageways in the Deep Roads. I don't know. It might be worth playing along for now, so we might learn more. They did give us two favors already with nothing in return: a shipment of ancient elven relics, and the information we gathered from the locations we scouted.
However you choose to proceed, I thank you for your time.
Yours respectfully,
Colin

SUBJECT: Glow Patrol PARTICIPANTS: Alexandrie, Yngvi, Lakshmi DATE FILED: 31st Solace STATUS: Complete SUMMARY: A team went to Orzammar to take a tour of the new addition to the mines there. During the tour there was a cave-in, trapping the team, their guide, and a number of miners, and releasing several deadly slime molds into the passages. While they were unable to unblock the passage, they were guided to another way out, aiding and rescuing nearly all of the miners who had been trapped and injured by the cave-in on their way as well as being able to dispatch whatever mold they could muster the supplies necessary to do so.
REPORT: [ written in Lady Alexandrie's elegant hand on parchment that is really quite nice, despite having being provided with standard-issue paper for the purpose of writing this report. ]
Madame Ambassador:
Although this assignment was expected to be a rather routine one, it in fact ended up involving some unintended excitement in the form of a fairly significant cave-in during our tour of the new addition to the mines. While a certain setback for Orzammar, it did cause our mission to become a great deal more successful than could have been previously anticipated. After all, nothing looks grander than being both magnanimous about being placed in danger by ones host and acquitting oneself well in providing immediate and unstinting aid to an ally in dire straits. (As a favorable aside, it did not go unnoticed by the city that the Rifter Rani Lakshmi Bai was instrumental in these efforts.)
Unfortunately, it was not a simple cave-in. The shift in the earth released a number of what are known to the Mining Caste as 'slime molds'. As far as we could gather from the knowledge of Lady Wemot, our guide, these are a manner of non-sentient creature legendary among the Mining Caste that gain their luminescence—and who truly knows what else—from consumption of small lyrium veins. They move quite quickly and are extremely dangerous, as they are both clinging and corrosive. For our future edification, they are able to be harmed and destroyed by both fire and salt.
There was indication that many miners had been trapped in the accident, and with the release of the mold, time was of the essence. It is possible we could have spent that time in unblocking the main passageway, however, it was strongly decided by all parties that the lives of the miners were of much higher priority. Thus, under Lady Wemot's guidance, we took a different way out of the mines, doing what we could to both destroy what creatures we came across on our journey and to aid any and all dwarves we came across. In these things we were quite successful, although I grieve to inform you that there were one or two casualties of severe injuries from both cave-in and slime mold that could not be treated with simple first aid. We expressed our condolences in person, but I imagine a formal letter of similar expression would not be out of place.
In addition, may I humbly suggest that if we are able, being willing to offer a slightly increased price for the metals we receive from the city for a period of time to be established by Inquisition leadership to support them in their reconstruction efforts may both go over well and further solidify our position as a valued friend to Orzammar?
Respectfully, Lady Alexandrie de la Fontaine Yngvi Congealedinagutterson Rani Lakshmi Bai
