On the evening of the 22nd an attempt was made on the Nightingale's life; the rumours did not start filtering out until the 23rd, from servants seeing scouts move and overhearing snatches of conversation moreso than from any indiscretion within the people involved themselves.
A few hours before, some truly terrible poetry was distributed around Skyhold, where just anyone could read. Eventually theories start to circulate that the poetry has something to do with the attack on the Left Hand.
Some rumours are as follows;
That Zevran Arainai of the Crows was involved in her poisoning - a Crow and quick arrival to the scene, with ample opportunity, but what motive? Vengeance, perhaps?
That Morrigan, Arcane Advisor to the Empress, might also have orchestrated it has been another rumour- but what might benefit the Empress about seeing the Inquisition's spymaster fall? It is suggested that she has been haunting the Spymaster like a shadow, with some saying she is waiting for a chance to finish what has been begun.
It is confirmed that Dorian, Zevran and Josephine were the first to arrive, and that Josephine's shrieks were heard in the library (although initially assumed to be the result of a raven being monstrous by some, apparently.) There are those who suggest that perhaps there is some sort of sordid romance situation involving any of the three who found Leliana in various combinations and with various partings being spurned and vengeful... but it's just a theory. Rumours are particularly enthusiastic regarding the Tragic Love™ of Dorian and Leliana, doomed by jealousy and... well. Antivans, apparently.
Also confirmed: Anders and Adelaide were the medical personnel called on to assist, and whom have been keeping her alive.
Later on rumours also pick up that two separate groups have left, reportedly on missions related to the Left Hand, but what exactly?
