(—he remembers the chill of the frost and snow biting at bare skin, its usual pure white now tinged a horrid pink from the blood on his hands. He's far away from them now, the danger and the pain and everything else, but the blood will forever be on his hands no matter how much he tries to wash it away. His father had been right all along. He truly was a monster of the greatest kind.) |
QUEST: THE ASHES UNDERNEATH HIS NAILS (PART I) The message had come swiftly, the letter itself hastily written with a shaky hand. The request itself was simple; a plea for help from a village at the outskirts of Emprise du Lion, whose people have been mysteriously disappearing over the last few weeks. Considering the ongoing civil unrest that's still transpiring in Orlais the Inquisition made its decision to send out a team of agents to look into this message and see exactly what was going on. The eight agents tasked with the mission were given enough time to prepare for the trip ahead. They would all meet up first at the Inquisition camp set within the Emprise and from there travel for about a day until they reached where their destination was - Fromage, a quaint little village that rested at the outskirts of the area. From that point on, it was up to the agents of the Inquisition to solve this ongoing mystery. The mission: to discover the truth behind these disappearances - and to stop it, if possible. |

Still, its not like that's the only thing to find. Perhaps Raylan might want to continue to look through to see if there's anything else that may hold his interest.

whoops (cw: icky stuff)
There are a few points of interest should Raylan want to read further, but the most apparent thing that can be seen right now is the fact that the some of the names of the examined ones should look familiar. And they should, because those names match the list of names Raylan had just been looking through previously.

"I don't know that there would be enough benefit in studying the bodies of those who just happened to have died of unnatural causes," she murmurs. "Something had clearly been done to them while they were still alive, and the deaths had just been... a matter of circumstance."

The notes themselves has references to how people react to lyrium, how they are each day, how they respond to 'the study' and some random musings by whoever writes these reports (on some there is, for some reason, doodles of a cartoony heart). The circled portions on the human outlines tend to be on areas where the major organs are - something that Hermione may be able to pick up on since she's actually from a time where modern medicine is around.
The most important thing however is that at the end of each report, there's a final word tacked: either 'SUCCESS' or 'FAILURE'.

"I'll give you three guesses as to what they're experimenting with, and the first two don't... Oh Maker." He's caught sight of the notes now, and they're not good. At all. Not like he expected them to be, with the word 'experimenting' and all of the red lyrium creatures outside, but somehow seeing notes makes it worse.

"They're forcing red lyrium on people," she murmurs, remembering all those creatures who seemed to have the bright red rock growing right out of them. "Planting it in them and watching it grow, like some sort of weed."
Even the Death Eaters hadn't done anything so awful. If one didn't willingly follow along with their ideals, they were merely tortured and/or killed. That seems like a kindness, now.
