All right, what would all of the Templars and the advisers think of the New Templar Order, instead of melting into the Inquisition, instead offer open enrollment to any one of any creed or background as long as they swore an oath to the Inquisition, aka the Divine's Last Mandate and the true path of the Chantry?

Edit

And now, with better clarification on the Templar's role in Thedas, thanks to Varric, and Cassandra's players, as well as TheRedPenguin on Plurk, NEW plotting idea.

Norrington is coming back from Montemps with two goals - securing Skyhold against the dangers of blood magic with a plan, and finding where the red templars are getting their lyrium so they can cut them off. Per previous CR, he is going to be joining his voice more loudly with the loyalist mages that they need further Templar involvement with the mages - not only for the rest of the Inquisition but for the safety of the mages themselves from the dangers of mind control by the mages.

He is going to have a plan, however, before he goes to the mage council. I, the mun, need some help formulating that plan. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. I'll put a post below everything else for people to respond to.

So for a couple of months now, Anders has been in Skyhold, helping the Inquisition and keeping his head somewhat down under the alias of Detlef. ( This, of course, couldn’t last. )

So maybe your character has noticed River ghosting around Skyhold for a while now. She's a strange girl with a habit of not wearing shoes, appearing in odd places, making eerily insightful observations and just sort of being generally weird but harmless. 

But her mind-reading abilities stem from something a lot more powerful and, frankly, a lot more frightening.



River is a Somniari, better known as a Dreamer. Her powers allow her to enter the Fade at will, and even shape it around her. Notably, she can enter the dreams of others. Given her...whimsical nature, it's every bit as likely she'll wander in by accident as purposely look to come peeking in of her own free will.

So, we need dreamers for her to visit! Got a nightmare your character can't shake, a fond memory, or something else entirely you want her to be witness to? Now's your chance to have all that repressed drama come out to play. Of course, she might not just sit and watch. She's entirely capable of of warping the Fade and changing things around, for better or worse.

And Maker knows what the consequences might be when everyone wakes up. It's not exactly widely known that she's a mage to start with, and Somniari have a rep for being about eleven kinds of dangerous, from being high-risk for possession to being able to kill people with their brains in their sleep.
