So.
[Hawke writes that one word and stops. This feels utterly stupid. Still, she's seen it work. A book that can be written in or spoken to, and it replies in kind. Or, rather, not the book itself, she's learned, but others with the same kind of book.
It seems impossible, even if she knows it works. Which is why she writes. It's far less likely to attract attention if she's somehow done it wrong.
This is obvious magic at work, and that concerns her. Has she ended up in Tevinter? She doesn't have friends there. The matter of how she came to be here is another worry. Magic, obviously. But what kind of magic is capable of that?
Feynriel, perhaps? Somehow? Wanting to see her? But he is not here.]
Called upon for a quest, is it? I will say, I've had worse receptions.
[Granted, she can't really complain about being away from Kirkwall. There's nothing for her there, not right now. Just a lot of bluster and obligations forced on her as the "Champion of Kirkwall," a position she never tried to earn. It's an honor, yes, but not one she cares for right now.
Being an adventurer again? Sounds like a vacation.]
I suppose I'm looking for information, then. What is known of this jewel? Fact or legend. I find both tend to be helpful.
I could also use some assistance in doing as a few locals have advised me and finding a crew. I've sailed before but never worked a boat, but I'm willing to learn and am rather handy in a fight.
[Should she sign her name? No one's seemed to recognize her so far. But what if she is in Tevinter and someone knows the name but not her face?
No... For now, best to just... not sign it.]

If it helps, there was a sea-wide curse several months ago that involved ships crewed with undead creatures? During this time it was constant night, and those hurt in certain ways were transformed for the period of that curse. I myself was afflicted.

I've dealt with the undead before, but it's never fun. Thank you for the warning, at least.
