[Open] An Honor to Serve

[ingrid_kief]

WHO: Ser Ingrid Kief and you!
WHAT: A new templar has arrived from the Anderfels to help where she can.
WHEN: Her arrival through Drakonis
WHERE: In and around Skyhold
NOTES: None yet

Templar Quarters

Where else does a templar belong than with her brothers and sisters in faith? She's a bit awkward, but trying to determine how many others are here, where they come from, and, of course, who happens to be in charge so she can report in to her new commanding officers.

Sparring Grounds

Daily sparring practice has been one of her chores since she was barely big enough to hold a stick and a makeshift shield. It's important to keep skills sharp, and she can be found practicing with dummies, or inviting others to spar with her.

Chapel

Faith is what sustains her abilities as a templar. Faith has pushed her through the difficult road she's had in coming here. Faith is her solace, and she can be found often in the chapel, kneeling at the feet of Andraste, reciting the Chant of Light in Ander, absently fiddling with a curious dark red pendant around her neck.

"Is that not what is done in the south in places? But, we choose from the highest ranked. All templars submit a vote. Winner is official leader," she said.

[judgemewhole]

"Ah! Oh, that is ... well that would make sense, as you don't have direct contact with the Divine. Here in the south, the Divine chooses the Knight Divine, who is considered our leader. However, since we have no Divine, we have no Knight Divine. Right now, we have Knight Commanders, and Knight Captains, and Knights ... but not all of them report to all of us, and some of us Knight Commanders only lead the troops we brought with us. Some Knight Commanders have no commands at all."

He sighed, heavily, "So until we have a Divine we are ... at something of a loss. I suppose I could ask the other Knight Commanders to support a standing representative, who acted as our leader."

[ingrid_kief]

"Yes. Choose a leader. Someone must lead, if there is a tie, choose." She nods.

"I am here to help, how I can. Do you have orders for me?"

[judgemewhole]

"Hm. Well. You are certainly forthright about it." Amusement flickers over his face, before he becomes more seriousm "But it is not as simple as that, I am afraid."

He thinks on that, "We recently lost a man on the field - I could use more help training the Inquisition soldiers against demons and abominations."

[ingrid_kief]

"No sense in needless waste of time."

She clutches at her pendant when she hears of the fallen templar.
"I am sorry to hear about our lost brother. But, if you need help, I will do what I can. Your orders, ser?"

[judgemewhole]

"Well, I quite agree -- although for politics alone you might find yourself with a slightly waste of time here and there."

He nods with a somber expression, before he straightened a little, "Ser Kief, your orders are to attend me, and the other Templars, in preparing the Inquisition soldiers for battle against the demons coming out of the rifts by instructing them in our techniques. If you have any experience with hunting blood mages, I will therefore order you to help me in my specialized instructions as well."

[ingrid_kief]

She salutes.
"Orders accepted, ser. I am well versed in sword and shield. I taught my younger siblings. I can help teach my brothers and sisters in faith."

She looks a little chagrined.
"I have not hunted blood mages, ser. But if you need hands there, I will learn."

[judgemewhole]

He nodded his head, feeling better already with all this. She seemed to be a solid sort, and that was just what they needed right now.

"Yes, you shall ... because we have a fair number of them now, running about the south." He stated, his tone a little grim.
