Hello! Some of you know me, I think. I've seen most of you about Skyhold. If you don't, I'm Merrill. I came from Kirkwall to join the Inquisition, but I spent the first part of my life in Ferelden which is why - one of the reasons why, I'm sure - I've been asked to help with this.

I tend to ramble, sorry. The village of Crestwood seems to have been having some trouble with dead bodies of people and animals, and the important people, you know, up top, think it's worth looking into. Since you were all so much help with the rift and, we hoped you might be willing to help with this, as well. It's a few days traveling, if you're all right with that, so best to pack well, but pack lightly.

And if you carry any healing potions or that sort of thing, it might be a good idea to bring them. Just in case.

[Hawke + Anders]

I'm going out of Skyhold for a bit. Don't worry about me, I'll have some of the new people with me and a couple few of them seem sensible. And Zevran, of course.

[Evening]

We have a situation in Haven. Demons coming through the Rift in force.

Inquisition soldiers should already have your orders. Any other experienced fighters and mages willing to help, report to the portal kindly? set up by two of our newest mages.

Healers, prepare to receive the injured.

We may have some regular arrivals as well, so keep alert.

Testing. Testing. Can everyone see this?

I sure hope so, because working on this was absolutely fascinating, and very exciting. And, if it doesn't work it will take far too long to figure out why. And, I rather think we need this sooner rather than later.

Anyway, in the hope you can all see this. Hello, I'm Dagna and I'm an Arcanist. I'm partly responsible for creating this method of communication. Which should be pretty secure, providing you use the instructions I provided with each journal. Still, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Just for tags.
