Civil War Event & Information Release Timeline
Hey everyone - I made a quick plurk about this earlier and it was suggested that I share it in an OOC comm post so everyone could see it. There's a lot going on this month with various plots, so I wanted to provide a quick (if somewhat vague) timeline to help people sort out what information your character may or may not know at this point.
TIMELINE:
Anders turned himself into the wardens in late Guardian, after returning from the Emprise du Lion.
Leliana discovered Anders' identity the next day, before the Wardens had a chance to come to the Inquisition with the news.
Leliana then informed the Advisors of the Anders situation the same day.
She then began interrogations of those who knew Anders (interrogations are continuing through the first half or so of Drakonis).
A few days later (still late Guardian/very early Drakonis), the public notice of the Anders situation went up.
Cassandra began interrogating the rifters involved in closing the Skyhold rift (and only those involved in that event) to get an idea of what had happened. This takes place after the advisors' conversation about Anders. This initial round of questioning was light and little more than a formality, until she got to her interrogation and arrest of Galadriel.
Cassandra then immediately went to the Advisors to inform them of Galadriel's arrest, culminating in her and Leliana's disagreement, kicking off the Civil War plot.
Following the disagreement, Cassandra expanded her interrogations to include most or all rifters/shardbearers, with a specific focus on questioning mages. These later interrogations are much more tense and focused - at this point she is concerned about the possibility of rifters/shardbearers (especially mages) deliberately opening rifts. (Note that Leliana interrogations are still going on at this point!)
Please note that most of the Civil War stuff, including Cassandra and Leliana's disagreement and everything that happened between Cassandra and Galadriel, is currently not public knowledge! There is an update on the rumors page detailing what your character may know at this point; if it's not on the rumors post or your character didn't hear it from one of the parties involved, they don't know it yet!
Note also that the rumors allow a lot of room for incorrect assumptions and misinterpretation of events. Why Galadriel was questioned or arrested, why Cassandra is hauling people in to be interrogated, all of that is up for debate - all anyone knows for sure is that a rifter elven mage who has been with the Inquisition for months and who is perpetually helpful, inoffensive, and beloved by the Dalish, was abruptly arrested with no explanation. There is no reason to assume that Cassandra won't come for your character next, or that Galadriel did anything wrong!
