Operation text
It was to be expected. In the wake of so many important deaths and the rise of the Inquisition, several noble houses are attempting to spur their fortunes by crafting an alliance of their own. For now, they seem mired in arguments of seniority. It will be a long time before any of them threaten our standing.
Advisor suggestions
Josephine - 2:00:00
I suggest someone be offered as an ambassador of the Herald, not the Inquisition. If only to let them know, in a nonthreatening way, that we are watching.
Leliana - 1:36:00
Let them squabble on their own. Poking them at this point is wasted energy.
Cullen - 2:00:00
I say invite them to observe our soldiers training, to show that we are not heretical outlaws.
Results
All advisors
Despite their intent to craft a political entity to oppose us, these "noble" families are too embroiled in their own conflicts to even acknowledge us. We have acquired some additional trading partners who are tired of waiting for a winner to emerge.
