The Scouting Division encompasses traditional scouting, tracking, and reconnaissance work, along with more espionage-focused tasks like surveillance, intelligence-gathering, and cryptography. Their overarching goal is make sure that whatever the Inquisition wants to do next, they have the information they need to pursue it as efficiently, safely, and successfully as possible.

SUMMARY: A team went to Nevarra to secure leverage against Aurelia Pentaghast, but found a Venatori spy after the same information. Matters have escalated for Perendale’s siege and Aurelia’s potential succession of the throne.

REPORT:
Scoutmaster Ashara,

You already know some of the particulars.

Our initial arrival to speak with Aurelia progressed well, but matters became more complex when your scouts realised the presence of a Venatori spy. He was captured and interrogated. Vel Ruso advised us that that the Venatori were only honouring the deal Aurelia made with the Anderfels and leaving Perendale intact because they felt, as did we, that the information could be used to influence matters in Nevarra. He had been sent to collect proof, and deliver it to the Venatori so they might have their leverage. If he failed to secure said leverage, the Venatori would issue orders to the Anders to raze Perendale.

I decided that the cost of having the Pentaghasts and Nevarra potentially under the sway of the Venatori was too high a price to pay, and that even if the cost were Perendale, securing Thedas’ future was paramount. Vel even appealed to the Inquisition’s history of benevolence, although I suspect this an attempt to save his own life and honour his contract with the Venatori, above any care for Perendale.

Immediately the documents were secured, Captain James Flint departed to Kirkwall, with the instructions to deliver them to your hand alone and by any means necessary. It is my understanding that he succeeded in that assignment.

Scout Lavore is skilled in forgery, and resourceful. We attempted to buy some time for Perendale by using documents and seals to forge an update from Vel that suggested he was nearing his goal, and I spoke with Aurelia directly. She will have time for some action, and my prayers are that she may yet be able to aid Perendale, but I fear they have been condemned to a bloody fate.

You know already that Warden von Skraedder and Scout Agassi departed shortly after Flint, that they might do whatever they could to aid Perendale. As yet I have received no word from Warden von Skraedder and Scout Agassi, and have no notion if this is good news or bad. I issued orders that if there were any chance of them falling into the hands of the enemy, they destroy their communication crystals.

I am at your disposal should any point require clarification.

Ambassador Amsel
