#magic advisor

I’ve been meaning to draw fanart of Magic Advisor for a while now, so have a sloppy Lizzy and Ghosty! 

Hestia’s an advisor to the Inquisitor in a roleplay i’m in with ghostlykirie and snerpthesnerr , so I thought it’d be *~*fun*~* to think of what she would suggest for some separate war table operations (with help)

[Pleasant] “Very well.” [Professional] “Inquisitor.”

Gather Coin

Skyhold is not a center of trade, though it could become one in time. The Inquisition is largely driven by the belief of its supporters, some of whom are quite wealthy, but if it is to grow, it will need access to coin of its own.

“Our mages and scholars have researched a great many useful things. I’m sure there would be colleges and inquisitive minds alike that would pay for such notes.”

“Our efforts have proven successful, Inquisitor. I've taken a portion for our coffers, but the remainder may be used as you require.”

Red Jenny Attends a Party

Surely the Inquisitor cannot be a part of such things. It seems a base prank to intentionally disrupt such an affair. A memo from Josephine, written on a letter from Sera: This guy is a special prick. Swats his people around, Thinks his sovereigns pay for it. Embarrass him as his own party And you please a dozen people. People with keys and little else. Sera

“If memory serves, a nobleman’s mask is a precious thing, and to be seen without one is especially scandalous. Have them go mysteriously missing, and it will be quite the satisfying result.”

“Good news, I suppose. The nobleman was so embarrassed by his bare face that he refused to even show himself at his own party. It sparked more than a little gossip. His reputation might suffer. Maybe we went too far? Either way, the servants are attributing the idea to the Jennies, and we’ve got ourselves the keys to some interesting caches. I love a good party!”

Rumors of Maleficarum (sided with templars)

We've all heard the rumors—blood mages in the Wending Wood. The Inquisition controls the templars, does it not? Surely it is your responsibility to act. Tomas Fincher Owner and proprietor of Fincher Textiles An additional note appears at the bottom of the letter: Cullen, I've received several complaints from various merchants. No one has been able to verify these claims one way or another. A major trade route between Denerim and the now-thriving Amaranthine runs through this region. The arl of Amaranthine would consider it a personal favor if our templars investigated. Josephine

“I can’t sanction hunting people out of pure fear born from rumors. That is how senseless murder is justified. Send men to make the people feel safe, appear like we’re dealing with the non-issue, and leave the templars out of it.”

“There were mages hiding in the Wending Wood, but none of them maleficar. They sought refuge from the war, and they were terribly frightened by the harassment of some merchants and their guards. We’ve offered them safety in exchange for their services, and they were quick to accept. I’m glad nobody got hurt.”

Answer a Request from Hasmal (sided with mages)

Commander Cullen, I understand the Inquisition is working with Redcliffe’s mages. I’m surprised someone from Kirkwall would condone any arrangement with them—but it does put you in a position to aid us. Hasmal’s Circle sustained significant damage during the uprising. Rather than follow the Lord Seeker, many of our Templars elected to remain and deal with the aftermath, but our resources are limited. Furthermore, we have loyalist mages with us. Hasmal’s people would happily throw them to the wolves even though they had nothing to do with the rebellion. As it stands, I fear we may fail in our duty to protect them. I trust you sympathize with our predicament. I humbly request our charges be transferred to the Inquisition. Knight-Commander Brycen

“We have the cooperation of many loyalist mages, thanks to Madame Vivienne. Send some templars if we must, but have them bring a few loyalists that would speak well of us. Let them know that they’re just as safe here as any circle.”

“Lady Lavellan,

So I’m told, the mages were hesitant to come at first but after some small insistence, they did. We are working to make them feel more at home, although some of them can’t fathom that we can’t spare silk robes for everyone. Regardless, the Senior Enchanter and Knight Commander are both grateful.
