Something like that. It wasn't unanimous, but it was...
( hmm. she's almost audibly considering how to put this. )
All the rifters, all the anchor-shard bearers, all the most ... controversial thinkers and work got sent to Kirkwall, out from the thumb of the Inquisition and the advisors— far away from them, from the Inquisition's methods and priorities. If we didn't go independent, half of our people probably wouldn't have been allowed to work at all. And, you know, there's no way the Kirkwall outpost, when that's what it was, would have cooperated with being folded into an Exalted March.
It was in order to continue existing, I think. It was probably inevitable as soon as they created the outpost.
