NPCs: Ser Jonathan Vardic, Sister Justine
Where: The Northern Fortress-Prison of Aeonar, in an undisclosed location in Ferelden
When: 9:42 Dragon; From 27th of Solis to 14th of Parvulis
Rating: Safe
Summary:

A Chantry investigation reveals that Deidre has withheld information from her superiors, namely encountering the Keeper's First, Faer Arandil, in the Brecilian Forest and not reporting his whereabouts to the templars. She is suspended from Chantry expeditions for a year. For 365 days, her usual haunts are bereft of her presence, most of those close to her unaware as to where she had gone.

Some say her official sentence was too light, her punishment too lenient.

The followers of Andraste, however, are not so forgiving when one is suspected of being an apostate-sympathizer.

Rating: PG-13 just in case
Status: Complete
Summary:

Newly indoctrinated in an ancient order of assassins and spies, Savio Corleoni receives his first contract; to kill a person of interest at the behest of a powerful organization in Thedas. Young and with much to prove, unforeseen circumstances have rendered the kill a little more conspicuous than he prefers.

Meanwhile...

Four years into a promising career as a scholar and archaeologist, Deidre Aisli is sent to Antiva to investigate a curious matter involving documents that purport to reveal Andraste's true heritage. However, before she could ingratiate herself to the possessor, he and a friend are mysteriously killed. She tails the suspected culprit through Antiva's maze-like back alleys in an encounter that may very well end in a way she does not expect.
