[OOC] The Sky is Falling!

[eolasemah]

Recently a rift opened in Skyhold itself. Although nobody saw it happen, it was rumored to have been opened by a mage native to Thedas and not one of the rifters.

There are damages to the courtyard from where buildings and vegetation have been singed and frozen and dented from the resulting demon battle. It looks a mess. This is a mess.

The purpose of this post is for general opinion gathering, rumormongering, and plotting for the fallout from this fiasco. If people can just open rifts wherever they want, what does this mean for the Inquisition? Can rifters do it, can regular mages do it? Why would someone within Skyhold and ostensibly part of the Inquisition do this in the first place? Why weren't snacks provided?

If you feel so inclined, reply with your character's reaction to the news (or the sight, or the battle) and what action they might want to take, if any. Plot, make CR, do the thing!

The mage council meetings are, as ever, open to the public but like city council meetings the floor isn't open off the bat for concerns until the council members have discussed things- otherwise they don't get through the agenda and everyone's shouting at everyone else and-


Lots of tea breaks. Lots and lots of tea breaks x-x.

The research is meant to better understand what the shards are, how they interact with the body (sina's stopped her HEART when it went off that is concerning), and how they interact with the fade. Most rifters aren't inherently magical so it isn't so much a thing, but it does bear minding.

Yeah that's fine, Cassandra won't try to participate or influence anything, she really just wants to make sure that no one blows up a chantry opens a rift does anything unwise. And she wants to hear what they come up with.

They'll set out an extra comfy chair for her. /salutes
