SUBJECT: Missing Carta agents in Orzammar PARTICIPANTS: Yngvi, Wren, Ciri, Kit, Seoraj DATE FILED: early Firstfall STATUS: Complete SUMMARY: Investigating Carta agents failing to report back from Orzammaar on schedule before dealing with a rogue red lyrium mining operation involving them and Casteless dwarves. Operation shut down, agents rescued, Casteless dwarves killed as a mercy. REPORT: This report's late, I know, sorry. Don't know how to write this one.
We - me, Ser Coupe, Warden Ciri, Seoraj, and Kit - all went to Orzammar together and got in the front door without problems. Some young Casteless guards elevated by Bhelen's reforms helped direct us to the Deep Roads; as well as it likely being where our Carta folk were, they told us about Casteless disappearances too. Not as common as they used to be these days, but no one else had been looking into it.
Heading into the Deep Roads we went looking for the missing. Red lyrium was growing the further in that we got. It wasn't what any of us expected to see down there. And what we saw after—
It was an operation to mine red lyrium, from what we learned after we fought the miners they'd been trying to make a profit by grabbing members of the Casteless to do it. Finding people who wouldn't be missed, taking them down there, working them to death – it was terrible. I haven't seen anything that bad before. Our missing Carta contacts were locked up instead of being made to work because they thought they'd be useful to them, because they thought that seeing the way the Casteless were being worked would break them.
We couldn't save the Casteless. It was…people say it's mercy to kill them but it wasn't. It was just the only thing to do. They were dying, and sick, and they asked. They were beyond being healed.
I think it's best to talk with Lady Cedoux and Kit for what to do about what we learned in Orzammar. Sorry for this taking so long to reach you, getting it down has been—
It's been hard. The contacts have been recovering and returned to the Carta, they're very grateful for the Inquisition's help in returning their people to them.
