Sparkler,
Thanks for the book recommendations. The library in the Viscount's Keep could use a little more class.
Kirkwall has been calmer since I got back from my trip to see old friends in Orlais. The end of the Inquisition flooded the Free Marches with able-bodied ex-soldiers looking for work and warmer weather. Suddenly, I have more hands than I have shit to fix or things to fight. It's a good problem to have.
Of course, a third of them still secretly work for better craftsmen than the craftsmen. Leliana always did have an eye for talent.
Give Mae my love, would you? It'll be a while before I can make a trip to Minrathous again, and she's the only family I've got left that I'm still speaking to.

Sparkler,
Thanks for the book recommendations. I can use something to take my mind off things.
The end of the Inquisition left the Divine with a pretty big army and nobody to fight. Choir Boy up in Starkhaven keeps trying to persuade her to call an Exalted March against Solas. Sebastian always was good for a laugh. Of course, the city states of the Free Marches all hate each other, and half of them are trying to get the Chantry to back their long-standing grudge against the other half, and everyone's nervous. I don't envy the Divine, or what's left of the Inquisition, trying to keep the peace.
Give Mae my love, would you? It'll be a while before I can make a trip to Minrathous again, and she's the only family I've got left that I'm still speaking to.
