I am writing to you with a proposal that begs the support of the Mage Council, regarding the combat training of both the mages of the Inquisition as well as the Templar recruits, as one.
Our foe has, at his disposal, armies comprised of both mages and Templars, all of which use deadly force bolstered by their unique talents and traits. Myself and Knight-Captain Maria Hill have discussed at length the possibility of joint training sessions that include both mages and Templars, with an aim to encourage basic combat training through to training their unique skills and resources together for battle readiness.
With respect to recent tensions, we believe that these joint sessions will assist to build trust and respect amongst the Inquisition and contribute towards the bridging of difference between mage and Templar. Practically, they must maintain a working knowledge of how the other fights if they are to work together, as well as become versed in what they can expect from their enemies. In particular, many mages from Circle origins have never professionally trained towards needing to fight either hostile Templars, nor other hostile mages, and it is of the utmost importance that they learn if we have a hope for victory.
Ideally, we shall not kickstart another mage and Templar war, but if hostilities continue to simmer, we will defer to you and your guidance as to how to handle any problems that might arise. The Knight-Captain and myself will oversee these sessions so that they are conducted both safely and usefully, with participants from both factions would would be most willing to cooperate.
From the Council, we ask only for your support at this time. We are happy to discuss in person and have our proposal represented to the wider Council, or address them as appropriate. This correspondence has also gone to Council Member Adelaide LeBlanc.
Many kind regards Altus Dorian Pavus Knight-Captain Maria Hill
