“And I am high constable Revanelas, formerly of Arlathan and a Dalish clan in Tevinter.” He spoke to add his own introduction last. He then focused on the questions Cadmus had left hanging, they were good ones. “We are not keeping it a secret from the others. We are keeping it out of earshot of foreign guests. Orlais, Ferelden, and other dignitaries of the like do not need to know how ambitious we plan to be. Nation’s might take offense to our control and rise to relevance, thus we keep talks of exactly how we are going to bring the warden back to prominence quiet for the moment. The others will learn what we are doing as we draw near the deep roads.” Revanelas spoke as he rose to stand leaning forward with his hands on the table.

“The alliance with the dwarves is a tricky matter... Most of it hinges on us making good on our word. Not to mention a home for surface dwarf colonists to take back. The Dwarves do not want Tevinter to know they are looking for new friends, especially with the ambassadoria their unable to leave until the deal is done. The Tevinter control of the Venatori over the government is worrying to them already, they do not wish to push the extremists too far.” The real meaning, a large dwarven population were trapped under Minrathous and only the continued shipments of Lyrium and placating the Venatori would keep them safe. “This is for the dwarves, not our own ends.”

“As for the Magisters' sidereal...” Revanelas began but was cut off by Ashlea who decided to take it, this was a topic she had studied heavily. 

Rising to her feet, as the high constable sat down. “As far as we know only Corypheus was able to jump from one body to another when killed. The Architect seemed able to be slain much more easily from the report. However, if a Magister sidereal is spotted only engage defensively. One of them created a Joining for darkspawn that nearly freed the horde from control of the Archdemon and let them wage war as intelligent thinking beings. Well... You all remember the giant hole in the sky Corypheus caused.” Ashlea answered, shaking her head a moment the chaos only two of them had caused.

“We recommend doing your best to identify or learn about them, then retreat if they are encountered. It’s paramount we try to learn more about these Magisters and keep ourselves alive long enough to do so... No matter how much I would love to interrogate one to see what they can tell us about the Darkspawn, killing them is far safer and what Warden leadership believes is the best course if it cannot be helped. We are fairly certain you will not be possessed and slowly become a replacement.” She added, hoping that would answer the question... Or at least help explain why their commanders were so... Decisive on what to do about these Magisters sidereal.

Revanelas nodded as Ashlea took her seat and gave the final address. “If that is all. Make yourselves ready. We leave tonight ahead of the main force leaving tomorrow morning. Horses and wagons with supplies and equipment. Along with the scouts and other pathfinders. As our job is the most pressing we will want to arrive first. I recommend you pack anything you need or any equipment you may want tightly. Spaces can get tight in the Deeproads.” He ordered then looked at them. “Dismissed. I’ll see you all at moonrise tonight. You can sleep in the carts on the way to the entrance.”
