I have been requested to write you on behalf of some voices within the Templar Order. I do not presume to speak on behalf of all Templars, but I will presume to put pen to paper to express the concerns of many, and I understand others of Templar rank have approached those among you individually with questions and concerns. This is regarding the matter of the mage known as Anders.
We wished to make it plain that many of us who still call ourselves Templars cannot morally approve of the mercies granted to Anders. As your notice acknowledged, his actions brought about the deaths of many, and continue to wreck havoc across Thedas to this day. That he deserves an execution is an opinion carried in the hearts of many. But I am writing to assure you that opinion will remain exactly that.
We officially recognise that Inquisition's judgement in this matter, and respect the decisions made by those we have pledged our swords to in this time of turmoil. Please know that if ever the Leadership of the Inquisition has need of our justice and our blades, they need only say the word.
Maker's blessings Knight-Captain Marcus Kane
[ And, attached, a personal aside; ]
I hope this gesture reaches you all in good faith. It is my sense that many of us are feeling out the art of diplomacy between factions and upholding our ideals, while learning to be cohesive within Inquisition ranks. Voices are varied, some stronger than others, as will continue to be the case.
I have joined your ranks only recently during the efforts taken in Emprise du Lion. I have witnessed good work and anticipate seeing more done as peace is restored.
