EDIT-Just wanted to let any new arrivals know that as of now we are no longer taking character applications. If this changes in the future I will post something here.

The year is 9:40 Dragon and like most periods in the history of Thedas this too is a tumultuous one. Still reeling from the destruction of not only the Chantry in Kirkwall but the Grand Cleric herself both mages and templars war throughout the lands killing innocent and guilty alike. Circles have been abandoned, oaths have been broken, and blood has been spilt. Through the sea of Chaos the recently appointed Divine Justinia has done her best to push back against the seemingly collapsing age old orders of both Mage and Templars.

Aware of just how much weight her actions carried the brilliant Justinia not only brought back the ancient order of the Inquisition, headed by some of her best and most trusted agents, but she also arranged for a Conclave to take place-a meeting on neutral ground where both Templar, Mage, and Chantry could come together in hopes of finding a peaceful solution to the ever growing animosity between the trio. Perhaps most surprising of all is how she was even able to convince the two groups to meet, no doubt not only was she wise and benevolent but a master manipulator of the game both in and outside of Orlais. Set to take place in just a few days Justinia herself has decided to preside over these peace talks in hopes of a more positive outcome-for one often remembers their place when face to face with the Divine. In these troubling times Justinias actions not only bring hope to a fearful populace but also fuel the desire for real change.

But our story does not take place here, our tale begins with a lone dwarf shivering in the night leagues away.

Sorry for not adding up anything so far, but I am returning home after holidays and all that packing, traveling and hangover curing really takes the creative edge. I will really get into it after tommorow, with all the festivites behind me and schedule clear.

In terms of character, I will probably go with Antivan mage, who had been forced to leave her country because of a minor disputes with the Crows.

@Rotmouse @The Kraken
Oh its all good man, no worries.

I did mean to tell everyone last night before I passed out: You don't necessarily have to be in the Inquisition at the start of the rp (at the time this takes place the Inquisition itself is rather small.) The first mission that Flint is undertaking is as follows:

"We are sending you and a small group to investigate reports of Red Lyrium mining taking place just off the Storm Coast. It is unknown whether Venatori, Templars, or just the Carta are responsible. Irregardless the Inquisition wants the operation completely shut down and, if at all possible, all the red lyrium destroyed."

Now this may seem like it limits people in how they can join-but don't be afraid to get creative. For instance, the land this mine is on belongs to the Arl of Amaranthine-a fact he has not taking too kindly to and rumour has it he himself has dispatched men to not just shut the mine down but to take it over for Amaranthine. Likewise many small surrounding villages have been raided and ransacked by this new mining operation, their main goal not to loot or plunder but to obtain the most precious commodity of all: human lives. Now enslaved the local populace is forced to work the mines day and night: escape attempts and breakout plans have been rather frequent but are often met with extreme retribution. Or maybe you are one of the Venatori/Templars/Carta that are actually behind running the mine-its not like every single rebel mage and renegade templar are 100 percent committed to the cause, especially after watching people work themselves to death while enslaved: it might make one doubt what they are doing.

Anyways I wrote all that just to kinda throw some things out there and basicly get the point across that-Yes you can join and not be in the inquisition-it just might require some creativity on your part or a bit of colabing with me or Kraken.

What about an unfortunate mage on the run, who tried to hide in caverns around the Storm coast, where she accidentally met a group of Templar and recieved a little bit of Templar "hospitality"?
Inquisition would show up there and saved her skin in exchange for a few helpful fireballs.

It would fit a certain direction I have for the character.

@Rotmouse
I think that can totally be doable-Flint himself is wanting to get out of the rain, so stumbling into each other in a random cave would probly work out fine (could even be the cave i mentioned in my post). I'll talk it over a little with Kraken when they get on today but I don't foresee any problems with that.

That looks fine to me, seeing as the Inquisition party would probably be weaving in and out of the caves anyways so it makes a perfect way in for the character.

Holy moly, we got a nibble on our line :D

@Gate Keeper if you are interested but don't know much about Dragon Age, I would start with the Dragon Age wikia: dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Inquisition

@Gate Keeper Awesome! Well take your time with the CS, looking forward to seeing it. There is quite a bit of lore to get through, so to make your life easier I would just stick to the Dragon Age: Inquisition area of the wiki. It should provide enough background and clicking on the links should fill in enough info for different races/nationalities and such. If you have any questions feel free to PM either of us!

Currently they are just off the storm coast-about a two days ride from Ameranthine. Once they wrap things up there though the rp is open to move all around Thedas (being Inquisition agents they get moved around quite a bit.) Plot wise after this first mission the events at the Conclave will take place; the insueing rifts probably leading to their next assignment. Again though, where that will be is open for discussion.
