To the Attention of her Grace, the grand cleric,
I send you this letter of warning, in spite of your shortcomings in the month' prior. Leaving messages and orders without answer, that come directly from the Divine herself is all but unacceptable, and more so having the revered mothers turn away the seekers of truth. Rest assured that disciplinary action will be taken, shortly.
For now, there is a much more pressing matter, that requires absolute attention and obedience. Facing overwhelmig proof, that the city of Kirkwall has fallen prey to the dark temptations, and that it has become a host of bloodmagic and demon worship, her divine grace Justinia V has decreed that the evils be rooted out before they may spread, and infest the minds of others.
As such I hereby notify you that the holy armies of Val Royeaux have been set in motion. You are to evacuate the city premises immediately, along anyone among the faithful that is deemed salvageable, to meet the fourth exalted battalion, currently in camp seventeen miles to the South. Furthermore, you are hand to the cities council the following ultimatum: Anyone who leaves the city immediately to surrender without condition, will receive a fair trial before the makers eyes. Anyone left in the city, seven days from the delivery of this letter, will be considered an enemy of the maker, and shown no mercy.
Makers Blessing be upon you,
Knight Commander Balian, Appointed General of the tenth exalted march
-This Letter was retrieved from the Chantry, after the retaking of Kirkwall. While it appeared untouched on first glance, thorough investigation has revealed the seal to be a clever forgery. Related investigations have been launched, regarding the whereabouts of both grand cleric Elthina, and several revered mothers that are still considered missing.
Authors notes: Here we are. All the pieces are on the board. The final chapter, as well as the first of my next Dragon Age project, should be up shortly.
-(To those who noticed – originally written as a one-shot, and revised several times, the timeline of the dates is a tad bit wonky- it remains uncorrected largely due to lazyness on my part – assume that the chantry was too busy with other things to properly investigate for quite some time, and it sort of works out)
-(To everyone who had the kindness to comment – People tell so many horror-stories about commenters on the internet... you guys are actually a pretty nice bunch)
