Extended Universe

#### Critical Reception:

Unlike the other stories in the same universe "Anahada gets arrested for tax fraud" was universally panned by fans and non-fans alike.

## Anahada escapes tax prison and ends up in the inqusition: War table missions.

### Act 1

This “Knight Vigilant” is a cousland, yes? If we were to promote her now she would no doubt be indebted to us. We could give her our full support in exchange for a claim on Highever. I’m not saying that we press it and declare war on Ferelden but if I was to pull a few strings we could gain access to Highevers coffers and barracks as an… advance on her inheritance. Having nobility on our side would no doubt add to our legitimacy as well.

The downside is clear however, both sides could take offense to our declaration, the mages for supporting a member of the order and the templars for supporting a templar who didn’t rebel. The choice is yours Herald.

-Josephine

Results:

Reports are coming in that with a new Knight Vigilant, many mages and templars have left their sides and have crossed the border for sanctuary in El Cortaro. The ones that remain have regretfully become even more steeled in their opposition of you however.

I arrived in El Cortaro and met with the Knight vigilant in person, however I did most of the negotiating with her delightful young advisor. We hashed out the terms with her and have gotten access to Highever as we see fit for the time being. We will make sure that the current Teyrn Cousland won’t have time to make much of a fuss about it. After all, we’re now honored guests.

- Your friend, Quelarra De Resoli

I’d much rather have some actual soldiers who’ll fight for more than just their next paycheck. But beggars can’t be choosers, and we are the definition of begging now. Send an envoy with the money and get as many of their men as we can.

Results:

Mr Inqusitor. I’m very happy that you’ve considered our services for your inquisiton.

I’m not one for religion, but you people seem to be trying to do some good here, we’re more than happy to lend a hand (especially with that cart of gold you rolled in here.)

I’m sending three regiments over at once, with more to follow.

-Best regards, Kingston.

#### Act 2

Leliana

An associate of mine, Agent Blossom, has revealed that she knows where a great carriage of Archdemon bones lies hidden. In any case it would be good to secure the bones to protect them from corypheus. Who knows what evils he could do with them.

Cullen

Our own naval force is limited, a presence on the waters would be invaluable. Let’s send a contingent of soldiers to settlements around the rialto bay. This criminal has to make landfall somewhere and we’ll be there to catch him when he does.

Results

You were right commander, we managed to catch him as they stopped for supplies in Aysleigh we took him and his crew by surprise. It was a bloody battle but we have caught him, I oversaw the delivery to the Fleet Admiral myself. What followed was...hard to stomach but rest assured the criminal is gone and you have your navy.

Josephine

Oh my, if the king is telling the truth we are lucky indeed. High grade Rivaini fabrics are all the latest rage in Orlais and Antiva, and I must agree, our current outfits are dreadful. You know that I saw one of our soldiers making socks from an old potato bag!

Our men deserve better, and what they wear shapes everyone's first impression of us. If they see a bunch of rugged mercenaries wearing ferelden scraps, that is what they will see us as.

(Also with a shipment that large, I trust no one will miss a few outfits going missing. I had to leave most of my clothes when we fled Haven, my wardrobe at skyhold is...lacking to say the least.)

Results

The outfits have arrived and they are magnificent. Rich colors! Sleek designs! Metal armour hiding where it should and showing where it sparks most respect in the wearer. Both suitable for combat as well as diplomatic assignments. The outfits appear to all be marked with the logo of Sellwynne Industries front and center with a tiny inquisition logo inside the sleeve, it is true that some may now see us more like Sellwynne Industries soldiers but we now command a newfound respect from the nobles at our branded clothes.

Josephine

I have a few contacts that know the king personally, If I call in some favours (and inevitably owe them some) I think we’d be able to convince the King to let us have a look around the crater.

Results

I’ve promised a favour to one of my sister's acquaintances. An antivan merchant called Emily Kaldwin. In return she and a red-haired associate of hers managed to somehow convince Sellwynne to let us look around the wreck.

Inquisitor! The crash site is absolutely amazing. From the runes inside it seems that the device was a weapon allegedly used by the god Elgar’naan. I...I also discovered two corpses in a throne room of sorts. They have been sent to Dairsmuid for identification. And speaking of corpses. The bad news. I discovered a sarcophagus deep inside the wreck. I have included a quick sketch I made of it. It had several openings with faint traces of lyrium. I was trying to get it open when something struck me from behind. Then when I woke up the sarcophagus was gone and the guards outside were all dead.

Cullen

I will not risk my men just to add to some nobles zoo. I say we deny him outright.

### Act 3

Josephine

This Cassandra seems to have an open spot on the imperial magisterium just waiting for her. One might consider her a magister already if she wasn’t a warden. We must let Solas tend to her before we gently question her. Chances are, she's as much a victim as you are, inquisitor. (And no, Leliana we’re not letting you cause an international incident by torturing a prospective magister.)

Leliana

I say we go with Cullens plan, I also think we should send a spy posing as a soldier. The spy will document the journey and make copies of the sea charts that lead to their destination. After that we could potentially send an expedition of our own.

Results

Fantastic Inquisitor! Your soldiers are quite formidable (and very strapping). I’ll put them on the ships immediately!

- King Sellwynne

Leliana:

“A large escort will no doubt attract attention. I will send a small group of agents that know how to move without attracting attention. Should make professor’s trip an uneventful one”

Result:

“We have arrived in the Frostback mountains with few incidents save for 1 dragon attack (a small one). I just wanted to confirm if the two elven agents are yours? They claimed to have been assigned alongside us and they really got along with the professor’s party along with Erik and Emily but I don’t remember seeing them in Skyhold (and Sophie is suspicious)

- Agent Blossom”

Josephine:

“The agents Leliana sent. We can send a message informing them of the situation and warning professor Fredric that something may be amiss.”

Result:

“Dear inquisition We are sorry, your bird was eaten by a beast. Do not be alarmed. We do not wish to harm you or your inquisitions interest. We’re just interested in the beastie the Orlesian is after.

With love P & D”

Josephine:

“I know this may sounds preposterous but Mother Martha, a friend of Mother Giselle has somehow found out about this development and offered to handle it. Only thing she said about her plan was ‘Trust me’”

Result:

“Dear Inquisitor I must be honest, when I first heard of the inquisition, I was sceptical if you were doing the Makers work or simply vying for power. I did not care for either, I was happy to study dragons under you. However today seeing what mother Martha did, I am convinced that you have the Makers favour. Simply by singing the chant and hitting the beast with the sacred amulet of Andraste she pacified the beast and it wondered off into the wild avoiding any settlements. [If Sarah is in the party: “Lady Hecate is already keen on learning how to tame animals the way she has.] This has been an adventure and I thank you for sponsoring it
Professor Fredric of Serault”

Bonus Epilogue mission for Mother Martha ending: “As much as I would want to believe that the Maker himself saved us from the beast through Mother Martha, I think its best to investigate what really happened and where the beast went. Subtly so to not hurt dear Martha’s pride

Only choice: Leliana: "Our agents are still there, we can ask them to investigate"

“Sister Nightingale was right in her hunch as usual.
At the site where Mother Martha was going her thing were some signs of a magic wards. We can guess that someone used the Mother as bait while whatever spell this was pacified the Tarrasque and led it *somehere*. The trail of the beast cuts off in the mountains. We found a note from the 2 mysterious elves:
“You don’t need to worry about the monsters YET Shem. For now, our lady is just collecting.
