SUMMARY: Improve relations with the Kirkwall guard while also seeing if any might be willing to join the Inquisition.

REPORT:

Commander Coupe,

Cade and myself spoke to members of the guard about the position of the Inquisition and how it might best help them with their jobs, their rounds and making their lives easier. It was clear, initially, that some of the guardsmen were not comfortable with the position of the Rifters in Kirkwall; they did not see how they would be a benefit to their lives or how it might help them. They were not resistant, only confused by the rumour of the nature of Rifters and uncomfortable with the implication of what their 'aid' might be.

We spoke with a set of guards in particular and assured them that the Inquisition was not present to try and upset the balance of their lives already. The Inquisition is here to aid the guards in Kirkwall and we reassured them that we would do what we could to help them, especially in terms of any criminal behaviour that might occur, either from those born to Thedas itself or those brought through the Rifts.

I feel as though they appreciated the sentiment of our speaking with them and the reaction of the guards to the Inquisition and Rifters alike will be more positive in the future. I have attached some names of guardsmen that may prove themselves as possible recruits in the future.

Mme. Six,

The present position of Rifters in the common discourse is — as I am certain I needn’t tell you — a double-edged sword.

I do so now only to underscore the importance of continued peace within Kirkwall, for this city has long been given reason to fear mages. It is unpleasant fact that each of us represent more than our private selves: A sum of assumption and association which weights itself upon our deeds. Some allow themselves to be crushed beneath the load.

Better to take it for duty, and determine the course that you would bear opinion toward.

Thank you for your steadiness in this task. I regret the Inquisition’s presence has already much upset their lives, but we all need grow neighbourly of it; we can little afford a house in disorder. We are called upon to extend a friendly hand — and to avoid further incidents.

However, I am not so optimistic as to imagine we will escape those entire, and we must continue to exert jurisdiction over our own people. It is to our benefit that the Guard (and the Viscount) believe us capable of handling discipline internally. The historic separation of the Gallows works here in our favour: On this count, I am pleased that Serah Harrimann accompanied you; an eye to the past may become a promise of a better future. It is my hope that you will both continue to comport yourselves with conviviality during your informal ventures into the city.

We have recently appointed a new Captain of the Watch for the Gallows. Perhaps you might speak, to relay your own suggestions. You seem to own an eye enough for these matters.

Regards,

— Ser Coupe
