Maker's sake, Myr, what is your limit? When do you stop and stand up to someone in power? When do you see what those in charge do, time and time and time again?
The elf you report to has my respect for calling for calm and behavior, but that is because he does not know Thedas. You do. You're a native. You've lived here all of your life!
The high road, the 'proper' way of doing things, does not pan out in the long run because those who have the power only bother with it so long as it suits their goals. I tried it for seven years in this very city, for mages within these very walls, and that cost so many mage lives during those years. Then the Rite of Annulment was sent for and no one in power cared because it was mages. Just like no one in power will care because these are Rifters, just as expendable, just as unwanted. I don't... I don't get you sometimes! Thedas has patterns, recognizable, demonstrable patterns, and they always end in suffering for the groups the Chantry finds troublesome if people don't stand up. Our partial victory with negotiations came because some stood.
Where? When will there be too much oppression for you?
