Your character has been assigned to I SEA WHAT YOU DID THERE.
You're welcome to say they volunteered for this, or were ordered to do it as part of their Inquisition duties.

WHO — Araceli Bonaventura & Val de Foncé 
They can also take 3-4 additional people, so long as these people make sense to take along and/or can be reasonably justified. (These people are ICly Araceli’s choice, as she’s officially in Diplomacy and Val was assigned for his expertise, but you can OOCly work it out however you like.) Please note that this mission does require a minimum of 5 people.

WHAT — A brother in a remote Chantry has found some strange markings in sea caves on the isle of Brandel’s Reach that need to be documented and researched. It looks like the markings may have been more extensive, but have been damaged through the years by the sea. He was doing his utmost to record them and do research, but he went missing about two weeks after he notified the local Chantry to the initial findings. 

Revered Mother Grana is considered a moderate member of the Chantry, but is well respected amongst her peers. She has concerns both about the nature of the markings, and about the missing member of her Chantry.

Someone needs to record the findings before they are completely lost, but the missing Chantry brother, Ewald, needs to be found - or at the very least, it needs to be determined what happened to him. 

Investigation will reveal that a few weeks past a fishing boat went missing, assumed to be because of a storm, although unusual given the considerable experience of the crew. Furthermore,some people are claiming to see strange things in the water, although the reports are inconsistent.

The peril in the sea caves is an an adolescent cetus. This is remarkable in that they are not typically found so far south and usually prefer warmer waters. Strange, eh?

The markings themselves appear indecipherable. They are no recognised language, are extensive and very old. Study and discussion may lead them to the realisation that these are records written in a code, but that it will need to be returned to the Inquisition for that code to be broken.

What does all this mean?

An additional note;
As part of her personal efforts regarding the rifters and the Chantry, Herian would encourage (but not require) more rifters being included in the assignment, and would have made a request that they secure letters of support from Revered Mother Grana concerning the help that the Inquisition and particularly its rifters gave them and how they assisted. Please let me know ooc or ic if they do so.

WHEN — This can be set any time in Justinian/Solace.
Please submit a report by 31st July. Don’t hesitate to ask for an extension if you need a bit more time!
If a report is not submitted then it will be assumed that the assignment is not completed and it will be re-assigned in the next assignment cycle.

HOW — This can all be a group effort, or divided up as you like.
You aren’t required to RP the mission itself and definitely not the whole thing, but RPing something relating to it (something from the mission, a rookery post relating to it, a scene of the characters discussing it) is required. Please submit a link with your report & coordinate OOC to compile a single report.

NOTES —
If you have any questions or would like some further elaboration or details, please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll ELABORATE LIKE A BEAST.
