It is incomplete and we are still learning the best way to see to one another's hurts- but we are offering an unprecedented exchange of knowledge among mages. We are better able to serve the people of the Inquisition and for the Inquisition. Whatever is to come afterward remains to be seen. But this? It works, Herian. I would not throw my name behind it otherwise."
