The Annulment at Dairsmuid
WHO: Araceli Bonaventura, Korrin Ataash, Malcolm Reynolds, The Outsider, Aleron Darton, Kas, Anders, Malcolm Reed, James Norrington, Ellana Ashara, James Kirk; Rivaini npcs
WHAT: The Annulment at Dairsmuid; arriving at Rivain to meet with Araceli and her mage contacts that requested aid from Templars hunting them down. When Araceli goes to bring the group to her contacts, they're informed that the Templars have abducted the mages forcing the team to return to the Circle at Dairsmuid to rescue them and kill the Templars responsible
WHEN: 15th-20th Solace
WHERE: Rivain; Dairsmuid
NOTES: OOC posts here and here, sending crystal announcement; violence, discussions of annulment, probably going to need warnings for language; I'll edit as I go, if people can bring things to my attention, I would appreciate it
Starters will all be below, subjects in headers

We of the Dairsmuid Circle wait now, behind barricades. I have sent word to our brother and sister mages of this outrage. When they break through, we will not die alone.

epilogue;
Even with healing efforts from the mages of the party as well as the supplies brought with them thanks to Adelaide LeBlanc asking what might be required, the survivors are still wobbly. Magebane is a terrible thing. Shock is even worse. Or perhaps it's the magnitude of what comes next: a journey across the sea and then by land, going to a different country where the situation is still so unsure as of yet. But there was a promise of a better life. A place where mages might be free and despair clings to them along with smoke from the burning of the Templars that tormented them for so long.
They wait long enough for those from the camp to meet them and to say their farewells because haven't they suffered too? It's an argument they won't budge from as they load their possessions onto the ship, reluctant to part with some items even when necessity demands it must be so. It isn't a happy farewell but it might not be farewell forever. One day, when the world is less mad, when the fires don't burn quite so hot, when Rivain remembers again that it has always been different, that is has always been freer than the rest of Thedas?
The Inquisition will not receive any true formal support from Rivain but those from the camp are going home again. They will speak well of all who helped, they will say that the Inquisition did not sit idle. That the Inquisition came in their darkest hour.
That is enough, perhaps, that is much more than any might have expected when even freeing the mages alone might have been considered a victory.]
[Farewell to Rivain folks, if you'd like to thread anything on the journey home, this is where to do it!]
