Rifts and the Veil/Elven Artifacts Meeting

[mythalenaste]

WHO: All members of the Rifts and the Veil and Elven Artifacts projects are invited to attend.
WHAT: A joint discussion, trying to solve a puzzle together.
WHEN: Early Firstfall, after Satinalia
WHERE: The Elven Artifacts laboratory in the Gallows.
NOTES: A follow-up to the island elven ruins quest. WTF was that map, anyway? Takes place after this announcement.

Tea and refreshments are offered--nothing elaborate, just something for people to gnaw on in case they get peckish while thinking. The mosaic has been drawn and painted as accurately as possible and hung on a wall for examination. It is a map of Thedas, with most of the south broken away and pieces missing, with green slashes--some straight, some curved oddly, all tapered at the ends and thicker in the middle--cutting across here and there. Where the green lines cross, they are bright red.

"All right," Pel says, pointing to one of the intersections. "Our goal for today is to reckon out what these are, or at the very least, come up with a plan for reckoning it all out. This is obviously a map, but what's it a map of?"

The Wardens might be better held to account. Independent allies who drag disaster after crisis with them, who garb themselves in all their secrets and wield their past deeds to deflect scrutiny. After everything. There are choices to be made with them but none seem to want to make it; no one likes to peel a thing back to find what lies beneath is full of rotting pulp same as all else.

That is the truth though. That many things are rotten, and some far more than any other.

"A pity Merrill is beyond our reach, of the Dalish I have met she had a knowledge beyond compare. What you propose is-" she takes a sip, then another, "I would not want you to fade but it might test or resolve some theories about the reach of things."

Long kept to herself, certainly with Leliana in Skyhold but the idea of the Fade's reach or the Crossroads. Where they might lead. The overlaps. Old notes to check again in the cold dark nights.

"Oh she would have driven everyone mad. She would have acted as your</> grandmother." She appreciates it Thranduil, they could use that sense Morrigan hated in her youth.
