SUBJECT: How Much is That Doggy in the Window (Costing Us Weekly)
PARTICIPANTS: Fingon, Adalia, Thor
DATE FILED: Cloudreach 30
STATUS: Ongoing
SUMMARY: The team was assigned with determining the number of animals who currently belong to Inquisition members and whether there are contingency plans for their care.

REPORT: Commander Coupe,

Twenty one members of the Inquisition reported twenty eight pets between them, with another few verbally confirming they had animals of their own as well. Of the animals we have on record, most are mounts, hounds, pet nugs, and the Grey Wardens' flock of griffons. The last group, we understand, are the responsibility of the Warden leadership in Kirkwall. Most of the animals' masters have already made arrangements for their companions in the case of an emergency, and most of the rest will do so now that they have the reminder.

On a number of occasions it was necessary to reassure those asked that volunteering information on their animal companions would not result in said companions being harmed by the Inquisition. This was particularly common with beasts who had fallen through a Rift with their owners. While some of the beasts in question may prove dangerous if threatened, that does not make them particularly different from most Inquisition members themselves. Setting a public example that information entrusted to us will not be misused may incline the caretakers of such animals to be more forthcoming in the future.

We also recommend releasing the information found in this report to the care of the Inquisition's animal handlers, such as Alex Karahlios.

Mssr. Fingolfinion,

A 'creature'. Maker, they'd better be feeding these from their own pay.

[ if that's informal, it's because it's fingon. she's fond. ]

I will not claim their fears unjustified, but it is a mutual paranoia. The Inquisition may only guarantee safety within our own walls: The best means to minimize threat is to take use caution within the city.

Your average citizen will not stop to see that a dragon is 'friendly' when there are many with good reason to fear even a dog — I'd certainly not take my own to the Alienage.

Feeling against Rifters has begun to ease, but we risk it when we behave recklessly. We must protect our own, without appearing to be (forgive me) draconian in measure. Difficult to manage, no? I welcome any thoughts you may have upon the matter.

This information will be made available in a centralized location, that our Stablemaster and other qualified personnel might access it. To be updated, as the need arises.

Regards,
— Ser Coupe.
