WHAT
As new housing options become available for those affiliated with the Inquisition, Lady Vauquelin (along with the Duke de Coucy, and Morrigan's Kieran) will be relocating to a Hightown home where she will make her base. At roughly the same time, an increase in missing elves from the Kirkwall alienage will be becoming noticeable to anyone who cares to notice - though, who cares to notice some more missing elves, right? Certainly not Gwenaëlle, noted asshole; but increasingly suspicious behaviour of her Hightown neighbour will draw her attention, eventually requiring the aid of the Inquisition in investigating the increasingly likely prospect that the man next door is a Tevinter slaver acting as a spy for Corypheus. The ideal outcome? His living capture, a boon to the Inquisition and a PR opportunity to prove that they will work thoughtfully and methodically and without upending Kirkwall.

So try not to upend Kirkwall in the process.

WHEN & HOW
This plot will be a slow-burn, taking place over the course of several months - rather than a single event log broken down, it will be a project to be worked on that can be made up of multiple separate logs over time, as people involved pursue different plot threads. There will be opportunities to use the de Coucy home as a base to spy on their neighbours; others will need to follow up on the elven disappearances, going to the alienage, talking to the families affected. Someone might want to stalk Our Villain through his daily life. Characters involved do not need to stay involved all the way through - they can contribute to part of the investigation that interests them and leave the rest to someone else!

WHO
Due to the above, I don't have a hard and fast requirement for numbers - let me know if you're interested and we can figure out what's going to be the best way to get your character involved. The only real requirement for involvement is "able and willing to work with both Gwenaëlle and Thranduil, who are massive pains in the ass", and ensuring that characters volunteering for tasks are suited to them. E.G. Romain will probably not be holding the hands of bereft elves in the alienage; Yngvi will probably not be stalking through the streets of Hightown unnoticed.

No dice rolling for this plot.

There will be a final confrontation log. Rather than scheduling that now, it'll be a case of seeing how we go and playing it by ear as to when The Time Is Right.

Plot threads can be handled multiple ways; if something happens in the background of something else, or if you have characters discuss what they're working on + telling each other about what they discovered, that's absolutely cool.

I am happy to provide NPCs if you need them!

Let me know if you have any questions.

If you have any ideas or dreams you'd especially like to play out, here is a wishlist.

CHARACTER: Kit Gandir!
MOTIVE: Not in an organized, taking-orders-from-someone-else kind of way, but he's the sort of person who if he overheard that alienage elves were disappearing, he'd just find some reason to be in the area to do a little snooping. It's something he'd probably do on his own time.
CONCEPT: I've got a few vague ideas but nothing I can articulate clearly just yet.
