[open] Towards an omnibus of other worlds-

FORM: Written in an elegant hand and posted on the board and at other gathering spots.
SENDER: Vergilius Vulpinus, Chantry Brother
RECIPIENT: Anyone whatsoever, rifters in particular.
WHAT: A call to rifters to recount their origins.
WHEN: Timing (backdated, covering a span, etc.)
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: This is the first step in Vergil's ambition to build an omnibus of other worlds, and an attempt to make just a little cosmological sense of things.

[A lean figure in black velvet is seen posting these where they are most likely to be found,a s well as approaching those marked as 'rifters' to inform them of his endeavor. The gist is this: he wants their stories, tales of their home, recollections of the elsewheres from which they come. The letter itself reads:]

Welcome, travelers!

This open missive addresses those remarkably souls who have made the metaphysical journey to Thedas from realms unknown, who now find themselves under strange skies.

Do you still dream of your home, seeking a way back through the twisting ways of the Fade? Do you remember family, loved ones, loyalties or duties you have left behind? Do you miss some festival, have taken to private worship when you once held grand assemblies of faith? Do the seasons here seem strange?

I, Chantry brother and skilled archivist and historian, wish to compile an omnibus of other worlds, containing the recollections of your places of origin. I ask that only those sincerely interested in a true and untainted account of your lives before arriving in Thedas reply. While I suppose there will be no way for me to determine your veracity, I implore you to approach me honestly about your homes. Consider it a matter of honoring your origin, and helping us - your hosts - to understand the nature of the process that brought you to us.

Join me in creating a work unlike any that has graced even the loftiest halls of learning!

With reverence, respect and - above all else - curiosity,
-Brother Vergilius
