"For those of us who arrived in Haven they were just scouting the ruins for anything they could salvage and for the Herald's body. In the Fallow Mire though there were those who went to close a rift - the Herald could do it alone, but it requires several of us at once. I fought the corpses as people arrived since disturbing the water drew them out and well, you've seen the heavy armour, the big swords and the shields?" She tuts, shaking her head. A wonder nobody sank under the weight of it all. "You're not forced to go on a mount, I haven't closed a rift yet either and I've been here longer than I've been anywhere else but home but we have them. We're the only people who can do this, if asked, I won't say no, and if I must volunteer at some point then I will. I won't give them a reason to say I'm not helping." And she is keenly aware of what whispers and accusations might follow if people aren't pulling their weight, that's when people start speaking of mutinies or holding someone to ransom.
Her father is a captain, he told her all the stories she might need to know.
"Trust me, there isn't a lock I can't pick but I doubt the council would let it happen, I know Korrin certainly wouldn't." Even if her and Korrin weren't lovers, she feels secure enough in saying that as she smiles at Hermione's next words.
"It's why I've been working on this." The pages she brought with her are turned over with a small smile. "I can't say I'm a great scholar but my parents then life drilled certain things into me, and information is valuable. A lot of people have told me a lot of things, things that you won't always find in books but knowing where that information comes from? Useful too. I shared these before at a rifter meeting but I've added to them since, I'm hoping I'll find time to organise them better in the future."
The papers are fairly extensive to say the least, all written in a looping elegant hand, quotations from memory and lacking names (on this version) but race, nationality and political stance where she can, if they're a rogue, a mage, or a warrior, and any other affiliations. Bias is an important consideration, after all.
