GREY WARDENS

The Grey Wardens are in crisis: in Weisshaupt, the First Warden has led a coup that Corypheus may or may not be behind; elsewhere, it's unclear who among the Wardens can be trusted and who is under his sway; and darkspawn showing symptoms similar to those infected by red lyrium have been sighted. Those Wardens who stood against Commander Clarel's plans to bind a demon army and destroy the Old Gods in the Deep Roads—or those who were just lucky enough not to be involved—have allied with the Inquisition and are headquartered in the Gallows, with additional forces assisting at Griffon Wing Keep and Valeska's Watch.

SUBJECT:
PARTICIPANTS: Alistair, Anders, Kaisa, Teren, Velanna, Hercules, some civilian scrubs
DATE FILED: Solace 9:42
STATUS: Complete
SUMMARY: In light of the possibility that Corypheus may have had real plans for the Old Gods rather than just using them to convince the Wardens to do blood magic, a team went down to make sure that Wardens who may be under Corypheus' control can't find or reach the Old God imprisoned in the Western Approach without a lot of trouble. The path to reach Lusacan's prison was obscured or blocked by magical seals in a way that will make it very difficult for Wardens other than those at Skyhold to find their way there. And Hercules Hansen died.

REPORT: Too lazy.

SUBJECT: Darkspawn in the Mountains
PARTICIPANTS: Kain, Inessa
DATE FILED: Cloudreach 15
STATUS: Ongoing
SUMMARY: Darkspawn attacks started to increase throughout the Vimmark Mountains, culminating in a shriek attack that took out an entire caravan. Kain called in Warden reinforcements to help him hunt down these foes, and stop them from reaching the surface.

REPORT:

My fellow Wardens,

While I was spending time in the mountains, I came across some travelers with worrying accounts of darkspawn sightings and attacks. This all culminated in a terrible attack on a caravan. I didn't arrive in time to save anyone. For that, I am deeply regretful. But I did learn more details from the survivors before they succumbed. I determined it was shrieks responsible for the attack. Of course. They do have a habit for setting up ambushes.

The numbers I'd been warned of were troubling. I could sense their tainted presence, as they retreated from the area. I acted swiftly to call for aid, and together, Warden Serra and I tracked these shrieks to a cave. The tunnel system we encountered was very long and meandering. The darkspawn were concentrated some distance within, in near overwhelming numbers. Fortunately, we succeeded in our battles against them.

Interestingly, the place where we fought appeared to be a section of the Deep Roads, located near an underground river. Given the near endless numbers of darkspawn, it soon enough became apparent that we had no choice but to cut off their route out to the mountains, once and for all. There were just too many to reasonably kill them all, even if we'd brought along reinforcements. Together, we enacted a plan to collapse the narrow part of the tunnel, cutting off that section of the Deep Roads, sealing the darkspawn inside.

The area should be safe again for travelers. Or… as safe as it can be… but I'm sure they appreciate only facing more standard enemies, such as bears. At least bears are good for meat and fur. Darkspawn are good for nothing whatsoever.

I plan to keep an eye out in the mountains to be safe the threat is truly vanquished. For the time being, I don't sense anything amiss.

Respectfully,

Warden Kain Ventfort

SUBJECT: Griffon Weirdness
PARTICIPANTS: Carver Hawke, Bethany Hawke, Myrobalan Shivana, Audra Hawthorne, Inessa Serra, Alexandra Karahalios
DATE FILED: 1st of Bloomingtide
STATUS: Ongoing
SUMMARY: Carver and Bethany, along with other aforementioned folk, noticed that certain griffons (Flea, Buttons, Uggie and Burp specifically) were acting strangely. Carver, Inessa and Audra tailed Uggie and Burp to see what they were doing while the rest stayed behind to investigate Flea and Buttons. It was discovered Burp and Uggie were attending to their clutch of eggs in the cliffside, while Flea and Buttons were trying to find/make a nest for theirs.

REPORT:

To the senior Wardens:

Odd behavior was noted in a few of the griffons lately, in particular Uggie, Burp, Flea and Buttons. The former two have been taking to leaving the roost frequently, and the latter two have been acting distressed and angry. My sister and I, along with Myrobalan Shivana, Audra Hawthorne, Alex Karahalios and Inessa Serra happened to be in the tower together a short time ago and got to discussing it. Some theories were thrown around. Ultimately we launched two separate investigations. Inessa, Audra and I tailed Uggie on griffon-back to see where he and Burp have been going, while Bethany and the rest stayed behind to see what was bothering Flea and Buttons.

The short answer to both investigations: eggs. Uggie and Burp mated, and Flea and Buttons did as well. Uggie and Burp have a clutch of eggs in a cave along the cliffsides nearby. They got very territorial when we approached, but once we sent our griffons off, they relaxed and allowed us to approach. They wouldn't let us touch the eggs, but we got close enough to count six eggs in their nest. Flea and Buttons had a harder time. I'm not certain what the issue was: I don't know if Flea couldn't build a nest without Buttons' help, or if his inability to fly prevented them from finding a decent spot for the nest.

Either way, Bethany, Alex and Myr were able to assist and found a spot for the nest. It's in an abandoned courtyard in the Gallows, not far from the tower. Flea eventually laid five eggs. We're keeping an eye on both nests, but overall the griffons seem to be managing just fine.

I'd like to make an announcement over the crystals regarding the nest in the courtyard so some idiot doesn't go wandering in there and get torn to shreds by angry griffons. Or worse, accidentally bring harm to the nest. All in all, though, this is good news. If all the eggs survive, we'll have eleven new griffons to the roster in time.

Hopefully with less stupid names, too.

Respectfully,

Carver Hawke

SUBJECT: Scout the Deep Roads under the Hunterhorns
PARTICIPANTS: Inessa Serra, Kain Ventfort, Newt Scamander, Fingon
DATE FILED: Late Solace
STATUS: Complete
SUMMARY: A team was sent to find an undergrounds means of crossing the border into the Anderfels. Thanks to Ander forces, darkspawn and a cave-in, this was far from an easy task. However, they have emerged with useful information.

REPORT:

Senior Wardens,

Our efforts under the Hunterhorn Mountains have met with some success. Thanks to the efforts of all involved -my fellow Warden, Kain, along with Newt and Fingon- we were able to map some possible routes for the Inquisition and our order to utilize as they see fit. This method is not without numeours hazards, though we attempted to trace paths more likely to avoid darkspawn-heavy areas and Ander patrols. Said hazards have other forms, as well; caved-in portions (and cave-ins, of which we directly experienced--thankfully, no one met with any lasting injury), broken bridges, and the like are marked down, though I believe most issues are surmountable with enough manpower and supplies. A difficult, dangerous area--but that is nothing new to the Grey Wardens, is it? Hopefully, we can make it a little more survivable for our allies, as well.

Respectfully,

Inessa Serra
