p...lot...?

The arrival of the Rifters has shown Merrill that hey, she's not the only one who once had No Idea how to act in a lot of Thedas. The only difference between her and the Rifters is that Merrill already had some knowledge, where the Rifters have to learn everything - humans, elves, dwarves, qunari, Grey Wardens, the Blight, lyrium, the language, etc. There are also a fair amount of people in the Inquisition who could benefit from some good old fashioned schooling, whether it's how to read and write or why the Dalish like their weird white deer so much or how to shoot with Ye Olde Bow and Arrows. After talking with Cassandra, Merrill went to the advisors and received permission to start a school!

This plot is open to everyone and will be a long-term part of the Inquisition. I don't expect people to play out every class or anything, but the school will be around for whatever you may need it for. There is currently one classroom to be shared and supplies As Needed (via harassing Josephine); more space could potentially be found or built in the future.

Anyone (PC or NPC) may be a student and may attend any class unless the teacher of that class says otherwise. Teachers and lesson plans (not that anyone expects you to write up lesson plans) must be approved by the advisors. More than one teacher can teach about specific topics, though I imagine they may be co-teaching instead of each having their own class.

CLASSES
NOW IN SPREADSHEET FORM
If a teacher is blank, assume that an NPC will teach it unless a PC steps up! As a reminder, classes may have more than one teacher - everyone should get a shot, and Inquisition duties mean one teacher may be away so another can step in!

EDIT JUNE 7TH:
If you would like your character to teach a class, whether it is on the spreadsheet or not, post under the teacher sign-ups! If a class is not on the spreadsheet and your character would not teach it, post under class suggestions!

Since there are So Many (because you guys are awesome), it's possible that instead of everything having its own class, some will be more individual lessons in a larger class - we're still working the kinks out!

CLASS SUGGESTIONS

[chainlightning]

Please put the topic of the class in the subject line of the comment for ease. Any topics not taught by PCs can (potentially) be taught by NPCs.

HAND-TO-HAND SELF DEFENSE

[universal_charm]

A class for teaching people how to defend themselves in a variety of situations when weapons might not be readily available, or they don't know how to use one. Generally aimed at those not already experienced in combat, but open to all who want to learn.

( Kirk would also be up for teaching this class )

[chainlightning]

I'll sign Jim up to teach it for now, then C:

ARCHERY??

[parkourprince]

why is there no archery

what else could Legolas teach, really

[chainlightning]

because I kept wanting to put "rooty tooty aim and shooty" on the spreadsheet and forgot the actual term

Would you like Legolas to teach it? C:

[parkourprince]

YES PLS

CLIMBING/PARKOUR

[foxsays]

Araceli is already teaching this and has been for months but given all the places the Inquisition goes and because it's the best way for rogues to get about? Plus the first lesson is always how to fall anywhere without injuring yourself.

(Both she and I would be willing to have other characters as teachers, especially for varying skill levels!)

[parkourprince]

... I wanna make Legolas a teacher for this too, negl...

I mean, look at my username.
