I'd love to see Malcolm try to mitigate this whole disaster by searching for a compromise/middle ground, honestly I would, it seems like an approach that would be super interesting in the long run. A moderate stance will be really fascinating, but a hard position to hold and defend in the long run. There are a lot of general fundamental misunderstandings that sit at the core of this conflict and resolving them will be an ordeal.

Galadriel, for instance, comes from a place that doesn't have any military force with a structure like the Inquisition. She's never encountered a police force or policing like the templars and her military, especially, is run in a completely foreign fashion to that of Thedas. She's extremely wary of being asked to swear oaths (not historically a good idea in Arda) and she basically views everyone around her as kindergardeners trying to put her in time out.

She'd be a hard sell on compromise, particularly considering that she's prideful and Cassandra and she got off on a terrible foot, but it could be done.

I'm not sure what middle ground exists or where they could find said compromise, (I expect that will be the end result of this plot after a long stretch of conflict,) so if Malcolm wants to really devote himself to finding that he is more than welcome to do so!

If you want to figure out what we can thread or what points would help this along, I'm always available for discussing it on plurk or via PM (even here is totally okay), but I know a lot of this is going to be unpredictable at first because of IC reactions and conversations.
