We're trying that OOC plotting thing

[judgemewhole]

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.

Honestly, I was kind of hoping we could play something out where the Templars come together as a group and not separate. I'm using dramatic license for the reason for the divide though, and nothing serious.

That may be a long time coming, at the moment. Which, again, it's a long game. That's fine and gives us all long term goals. But at the moment, and I certainly can't speak for other PCs, but Maria at least is not ready to back any single PC templar as the head of the Order based on IC events. I'm sure NPCs, as they do in the mage side, will also be divided. So there may be a temporary fractioning based on ideology that, over time, can come together.
