WHAT: Since Riftwatch is going to Orlais this month anyway, it's time for a few people to split off and finally figure out why Emprise du Lion is stuck in perpetual winter. (Odds of a repressed, singing queen who likes snowmen and fighting with her sister: negligible.) This team will be looking for evidence of how the climate is being controlled or effected and, in a best case scenario, trying to stop the effect. The last team's efforts were inconclusive, so you'll more or less be starting from square one.

WHO: 3-5 volunteers. This plot is designed more for scout-y or research-y types, so if we have to RNG, they'll get priority. Otherwise if a diplomat wants to talk to an ice merchant or a Forces member wants to beat up some red templars, we'll make it work!

WHEN: If characters wanted to participate in the mod plot, this can be done on the way to or from; if your characters collectively prefer to do this instead, Julius will write them a hall pass (within reason). Real time, please sign up by end of the day (EST) August 15. The log will go up sometime the following week.
