A request for help from one of the Inqusitior's old allies.

Not long into the next morning, as you go about your new Inquistorial duties, a runner hands Lady Montilyet a letter, sealed with an Inquisition sigil.

“What does it say?” You ask the Antivan.

“A message from Marian Hawke, Champion of Kirkwall.” She notes. You arch an eyebrow. “She and the... previous Inquisitor resolved the conflict with the Grey Wardens together.”

“Dear Inquisitor, I hope this letter finds those in Skyhold in good health. I am currently in the Western Approach. For the past week, I've been investigating a group of Venatori renegades. They've a base somewhere in the Approach, and I believe they're up to something... unusual. I ask for your assistance in this matter. When it comes to the Venatori, one blade is rarely enough. PS. Please give my love to Varric.”

“The Inquisition currently has a minimal presence in that area, but I'm sure we can spare a squad or two to an ally as important as Lady Hawke.” Josephine suggests, though from her tone, it's clear the final say rests with you.

You scratch your jaw. You had every intention of assisting Hawke, but part of you thought it might be invigorating to assist her more... directly. As much fun as your time in Skyhold so far had been, part of you would always long for adventure, travel, and matching blades with corrupt and worthy adversaries. Plus, as your father, Teryn Bryce of Highever had instilled in you, why risk your men when you could solve the problem yourself?
