LOGHAIN (Dragon Age: Origins)

(On the occupation of Ferelden) "Hate doesn't describe it. I've seen painted, masked lords beat
an old farmer to death with riding crops. To this day, I don't know why. Is that hate? I saw
good, sensible men fighting armored chevaliers with nothing—no weapons, no armies, not
even hope of success—to see the occupation end. Is that hate?"

Equipment: Armor of the River Dane, greatsword.
Armor of the River Dane

The Battle of River Dane in 8.99 Blessed, was fought against a superior force of Orlesian
Chevaliers, ambushed by Ferelden rebels as they attempted a crossing of the River Dane.
Loghain led that battle, and victoriously stripped the enchanted armor from the dead
chevalier commander as a prize. The sight of Loghain wearing this armor became
synonymous with Ferelden's defiance of Imperial rule.
This is a three piece personal set of massive armor belonging to Loghain Mac Tir, and only he
is able to wear it. It belonged to an Orlesian chevalier commander who led the Battle of River
Dane. Loghain defeated him and recovered his enchanted armor.
Armor Type: Silverite heavy plate armor; Armor Value: 10; Armor Penalty: -2; Other
Benefits: When equipped by a Fereldan with a justifiable hatred for Orlais (or simply a strong
desire to protect the country), that person is inspired to gain a +1 bonus to Strength and
Willpower when wearing this armor. Loghain Mac Tir qualifies for this bonus, as does any
other character at GM's discretion.
Loghain Mac Tir was born into an occupied Ferelden and with King Maric Theirin drove out
the Orlesian Empire more than thirty years before the events of the Fifth Blight.
Loghain was raised to the position of Teyrn of Gwaren for his service to King Maric. To
Ferelden, he represents ideals of hard work and independence. After King Maric was lost at
sea, Loghain became responsible for defending Ferelden and guiding his naive and
inexperienced son-in-law, King Cailan Theirin.
Note: In the game, during the Landsmeet it is possible to spare the life of Loghain Mac Tir
and instead recruit him into the Grey Wardens. In this case, he joins the Warden's party,
replacing Alistair. If you prefer a Grey Warden Loghain in your campaign, add the following
stats.
Grey Warden: Dexterity +1, extra talent: Two-Hander Style (M), resistance to the taint, right
of conscription, detect darkspawn (50 yards).
KING CAILAN THEIRIN (Dragon Age: Origins)

to stem the tide of evil!”
Background: Fereldan Noble (Strength +1, Military Lore, Cunning +1, Leadership)

Style (N)
---

---

Cailan Theirin (born 9:05 Dragon), son of King Maric Theirin and Queen Rowan Guerrin,
became the King of Ferelden after the sudden disappearance of his father in 9:25 Dragon.
During the opening stages of the Fifth Blight in 9:30, he has been sitting on the throne for five
years, alongside his wife Queen Anora Mac Tir, daughter of the hero Loghain Mac Tir.

The Summersword
In 8:84 Blessed, Lord Aurelien of Montsimmard commissioned a sword for his youngest son
Luis. Lord Aurelien sought out the most renowned master smith in the Orlesian Empire,
Vercenne of Halamshiral. The old master labored for several months, folding steel, honing
the edge to perfection. The resulting blade was as long as a man is tall, and sharp as the
tongue of any noblewoman. Vercenne proclaimed it, in a fit of irony, the "Summer Sword",
since he had crafted it in the winter of his lifetime.
—From Codex entry: The Summer Sword
The hilt of this immense sword bears the mark of Vercenne of Halamshiral, believed to be the
greatest smith in the history of the Orlesian Empire.
Weapon Type: Silverite greatsword; Minimum Strength: 1; Talent Level Bonus: One
level; Focus Benefit: Yes; Attack Bonus: No; Damage Bonus: +5; Other Benefits: When
performing the Skirmish stunt to move an opponents only, the wielder of this weapon moves
the target 2 additional yards.
Ser Cauthrien is a knight and Teyrn Loghain's most trusted lieutenant, as well as the leader of
Maric's Shield, Loghain's hand picked elite force.
--------------------------------------------------------
Cailan's Armor
Part of King Cailan's Arms set, this is the armor of King Cailan Theirin of Ferelden,
commander of the forces at Ostagar, where he was slain by the darkspawn.
This armor was recovered from the darkspawn-filled Ostagar after the fateful battle where
King Cailan was killed.
Armor Type: Red steel heavy plate armor; Armor Value: 10; Armor Penalty: -3; Other
Benefits:When equipped in a set with both Maric's Blade and Cailan's Shield, the character
generates +2 SP whenever he or she generates stunt points (when equipped alone, no other
benefits are gained).
Cailan's Shield
Part of King Cailan's Arms set, this is the shield of King Cailan Theirin of Ferelden,
This shield's heraldry shows two dogs rampant supporting a golden crown. One wields an axe
as a symbol of might, the other a royal scepter as a symbol of command.
Item Type: Red steel medium shield; Other Benefits: Wielder gains +1 armor value with
this shield equipped. Additionally, when equipped in a set with Maric's Blade, the character
generates +1 SP whenever he or she generates stunt points. If both Maric's Blade and Cailan's
Armor are equipped together with this shield, the bonus increases to +2 SP.
Maric's Blade
This is the same sword Maric Theirin found in the Deep Roads during the Fereldan Rebellion.
Maric offered to return the blade to the dwarves, but King Endrin Aeducan insisted that
Maric should keep it. The blade eventually passed to Maric's son, Cailan Theirin. Cailan left
the blade behind in a storage chest in his enclave at Ostagar while he led the troops at the
Battle of Ostagar.
Runes glow along the length of this mighty blade. King Maric, father to King Cailan, bore it
in his battles against Orlais.
Weapon Type: Red steel longsword; Minimum Strength: 1; Talent Level Bonus: One
level; Focus Benefit: Yes; Attack Bonus: No; Damage Bonus: +3 (+9 vs. darkspawn);
Other Benefits: Darkspawn up to 4 yards from the sword's wielder suffer a -1 penalty to
Strength. Additionally, when equipped in a set with Cailan's Shield, the character generates
+1 SP whenever he or she generates stunt points. If both Cailan's Shield and Cailan's Armor
are equipped together with this weapon, the bonus increases to +2 SP.
Dragon Age: Inquisition (Part 1/4)
If the stuff I read is to be trusted, I'm about 50% into my first playthrough of Inquisition and I just
FEEL the need of start stating these guys. This will be a four-part series so check back often to see
your favorites.
General Rules
Most companion characters are stated as level 10 player characters. Trait choices will be based on
story and not necessarily on minmaxing.
Cassandra and Varric will probably get templates to represent their former exploits.
Leliana, Josephine, Cullen, and others few will be stated as NPCs and not as player characters.
The Inquisition itself will be stated as an epic organization alongside other major forces of Thedas
(using organization rules).
NOTE ABOUT SPOILERS

It took me almost 3 years to finally play this game. I probably shouldn't be worried about spoilers but
if you haven't played it yet, just know that many build decisions are directly connected to heavy
spoilers. So beware before asking 'why' for some of the stats...

(A note about Iron Bull's background, without spoilers: if you played Inquisition you know Iron Bull is
not exactly a Beresaad; however, because of his position as a mercenary leader and because the fact
that he mentions a story in the military before changing caste, the Qunari Beresaad actually is the
best choice for this character.)
The Iron Bull is a one-eyed Qunari mercenary, companion and a pansexual romance option for the
Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
The Iron Bull was raised in the schools of Par Vollen by the tamassrans. He was big and strong for his
age and liked to act as a secondary caregiver for his fellow children. Eventually he was recommended
for service on the Qunari-held island of Seheron. According to him, the island was "a sack of cats".
Incursions from Tevinter, marauding Tal-Vashoth, and native rebels fighting both sides made life
chaotic. After eight years in Seheron, his unit suffered heavy losses and he was reassigned to Orlais to
work undercover, ostensibly as a Tal-Vashoth.
He worked for the mercenary company Fisher's Bleeders for several years but Fisher was a mediocre
commander and he eventually left, taking several of Fisher's men with him, to form his own
mercenary company: the Bull's Chargers. Bull uses his mercenaries to gather information on Orlesian
nobles, feeding the intelligence to the Ben-Hassrath. Though he still reports to his old masters, time in
Orlais led to something of an identity crisis for him.
He remains in command of the Bull's Chargers, though spends much of his time drinking, lazing about
and overindulging - all clear violations of the Qun. Despite his unusually friendly demeanor and lax
attitude to his philosophy, The Iron Bull still has a loyalty to the Qun which dies hard. He doesn't
proselytize, but neither does he apologize for his way of life.

Cassandra Allegra Portia Calogera Filomena Pentaghast (born 9:03-9:04 Dragon) is a Nevarran of the
royal Pentaghast family and Seeker of the Chantry. She began her Seeker training at the fortress of
Montsimmard, apprenticed to a senior member named Seeker Byron, where the majority of the focus
was on her religious rather than martial education. Though this frustrated her at first, she eventually
embraced her studies and excelled. She underwent her vigil at the age of fifteen in a remote castle in
the Blasted Hills of Orlais, the youngest Seeker to do so since the Storm Age. Though of noble birth,
Cassandra Pentaghast turned her back on a life of wealth and privilege to join the Seekers of Truth.
The ancient order serves as a watchful eye over corruption and magical threats, granted ultimate
authority in its investigations by the Chantry.
Many Seekers abandoned the Chantry in response to the mage rebellion. Cassandra did not join her
comrades in this, instead remaining loyal to Divine Justinia and her efforts to restore order in the face
of chaos. She is both pious and driven, the sword in the right hand of the Divine, seeking justice above
all else.

isolation, he counsels that you have become something more than yourself. He prefers the life of the
Warden to any other

It took me almost 3 years to finally play this game. I probably shouldn't be worried about spoilers but
if you haven't played it yet, just know that many build decisions are directly connected to heavy

Origins characters
A What-If Campaign Idea
Some time ago I had this idea of building a campaign following the exact storyline/quests
from the Dragon Age: Origins game. This worked out because none of my players actually
played the game - as far as they were concerned, they were just playing a new fantasy game as
an alternative to our long years of D&D and M&M.
The first thing I did was to change some details of the story to accommodate five "wardens"...
How was I supposed to do that in addition of dealing with several other possible companions?
Well, I simply let the characters created take the place of some of the companions from the
original game, while still keeping them around for quests and adventures (but not as part of
the group permanently). The way I dealt with this in-game was simple: all players got to play
their own "origin" story, meeting Duncan and being recruted into the Grey Wardens together.
After recruiting one of the player characters, Duncan and the new recruit simply started
traveling to Ostargar and "coincidentally" met other suitable recruits as they moved from
place to place...
To help new players create characters I stated and wrote a detailed background for the six
possible origins in the original Dragon Age game. The stats I used follow. (Note: To answer
some questions in advance, all these characters were built with the point-buy rules from Set 2;
additionally, the sex/background/class combinations were chosen based on the Bioware's
official artwork for the six origins and additional texts were taken from the Dragon Age
Wikia.)

Here you'll find major and minor characters from all games in the Dragon Age franchise, from Origins
to Journeys. I chose to stat characters that I like or that caught my attention for some reason, but I'll
abstain for now from writing stats for the companions in Origins and Dragon Age II, since Alurvelve
already gave us great stats for them that you can find here.

LOGHAIN (Dragon Age: Origins)

(On the occupation of Ferelden) "Hate doesn't describe it. I've seen painted, masked lords beat
an old farmer to death with riding crops. To this day, I don't know why. Is that hate? I saw
good, sensible men fighting armored chevaliers with nothing—no weapons, no armies, not
even hope of success—to see the occupation end. Is that hate?"
---
Background: Fereldan Noble (Strength +1, Intimidation, Cunning +1, Leadership), can speak
---
Communication: 3 (Leadership); Constitution*: 5 (Stamina); Cunning: 3 (Cultural Lore,
Military Lore); Dexterity*: 2 (Riding)
Magic: 0; Perception: 1 (Empathy); Strength*: 4 (5) (Heavy Blades, Intimidation,
Jumping); Willpower: 3 (4) (Morale, Self-Discipline)
---
Stunt Bonuses: Dual Strike (3 sp), Mighty Blow (1 sp when wielding a two-handed weapon),
Threaten (1 sp)
Talents: Armor Training (J), Command (J), Two-Hander Style (J), Weapon and Shield Style
(N)
---
Attack: Greatsword +6 (+7), damage 3d6+4 (3d6+5)*
* Values in parentheses are used when the Armor of the River Dane is equipped.
---
Equipment: Armor of the River Dane, greatsword.
Armor of the River Dane

The Battle of River Dane in 8.99 Blessed, was fought against a superior force of Orlesian
Chevaliers, ambushed by Ferelden rebels as they attempted a crossing of the River Dane.
Loghain led that battle, and victoriously stripped the enchanted armor from the dead
chevalier commander as a prize. The sight of Loghain wearing this armor became
synonymous with Ferelden's defiance of Imperial rule.
This is a three piece personal set of massive armor belonging to Loghain Mac Tir, and only he
is able to wear it. It belonged to an Orlesian chevalier commander who led the Battle of River
Dane. Loghain defeated him and recovered his enchanted armor.
Armor Type: Silverite heavy plate armor; Armor Value: 10; Armor Penalty: -2; Other
Benefits: When equipped by a Fereldan with a justifiable hatred for Orlais (or simply a strong
desire to protect the country), that person is inspired to gain a +1 bonus to Strength and
Willpower when wearing this armor. Loghain Mac Tir qualifies for this bonus, as does any
other character at GM's discretion.
Loghain Mac Tir was born into an occupied Ferelden and with King Maric Theirin drove out
the Orlesian Empire more than thirty years before the events of the Fifth Blight.
Loghain was raised to the position of Teyrn of Gwaren for his service to King Maric. To
Ferelden, he represents ideals of hard work and independence. After King Maric was lost at
sea, Loghain became responsible for defending Ferelden and guiding his naive and
inexperienced son-in-law, King Cailan Theirin.
Note: In the game, during the Landsmeet it is possible to spare the life of Loghain Mac Tir
and instead recruit him into the Grey Wardens. In this case, he joins the Warden's party,
replacing Alistair. If you prefer a Grey Warden Loghain in your campaign, add the following
stats.
Grey Warden: Dexterity +1, extra talent: Two-Hander Style (M), resistance to the taint, right
of conscription, detect darkspawn (50 yards).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
KING CAILAN THEIRIN (Dragon Age: Origins)
“I cannot wait for that glorious moment! The Grey Wardens battle beside the king of Ferelden
to stem the tide of evil!”
Background: Fereldan Noble (Strength +1, Military Lore, Cunning +1, Leadership), can
---
Communication: 4 (Leadership); Constitution*: 2; Cunning: 3 (Historical Lore, Military
Lore); Dexterity*: 2 (Initiative, Riding);
Magic: 0; Perception: 1; Strength*: 2 (Heavy Blades); Willpower: 2 (Courage)
---
Talents: Armor Training (J), Command (N), Two-Hander Style (N), Weapon and Shield
Style (N)
---
Attack: Greatsword +4, damage 3d6+2
---
Equipment: Cailan's Arms (see below), greatsword.
Cailan Theirin (born 9:05 Dragon), son of King Maric Theirin and Queen Rowan Guerrin,
became the King of Ferelden after the sudden disappearance of his father in 9:25 Dragon.
During the opening stages of the Fifth Blight in 9:30, he has been sitting on the throne for five
years, alongside his wife Queen Anora Mac Tir, daughter of the hero Loghain Mac Tir.
And here's Cailan's Arms, a set of three artifact-level items the characters may come
across in their adventures.
Cailan's Armor
Part of King Cailan's Arms set, this is the armor of King Cailan Theirin of Ferelden,
This armor was recovered from the darkspawn-filled Ostagar after the fateful battle where
King Cailan was killed.
Armor Type: Red steel heavy plate armor; Armor Value: 10; Armor Penalty: -3; Other
Benefits:When equipped in a set with both Maric's Blade and Cailan's Shield, the character
generates +2 SP whenever he or she generates stunt points (when equipped alone, no other
benefits are gained).
Cailan's Shield
Part of King Cailan's Arms set, this is the shield of King Cailan Theirin of Ferelden,
This shield's heraldry shows two dogs rampant supporting a golden crown. One wields an axe
as a symbol of might, the other a royal scepter as a symbol of command.
Item Type: Red steel medium shield; Other Benefits: Wielder gains +1 armor value with
this shield equipped. Additionally, when equipped in a set with Maric's Blade, the character
generates +1 SP whenever he or she generates stunt points. If both Maric's Blade and Cailan's
Armor are equipped together with this shield, the bonus increases to +2 SP.
Maric's Blade
This is the same sword Maric Theirin found in the Deep Roads during the Fereldan Rebellion.
Maric offered to return the blade to the dwarves, but King Endrin Aeducan insisted that
Maric should keep it. The blade eventually passed to Maric's son, Cailan Theirin. Cailan left
the blade behind in a storage chest in his enclave at Ostagar while he led the troops at the
Battle of Ostagar.
Runes glow along the length of this mighty blade. King Maric, father to King Cailan, bore it
in his battles against Orlais.
Weapon Type: Red steel longsword; Minimum Strength: 1; Talent Level Bonus: One
level; Focus Benefit: Yes; Attack Bonus: No; Damage Bonus: +3 (+9 vs. darkspawn);
Other Benefits: Darkspawn up to 4 yards from the sword's wielder suffer a -1 penalty to
Strength. Additionally, when equipped in a set with Cailan's Shield, the character generates
+1 SP whenever he or she generates stunt points. If both Cailan's Shield and Cailan's Armor
are equipped together with this weapon, the bonus increases to +2 SP.
SER CAUTHRIEN (Dragon Age: Origins)

“Some of us know what honor and loyalty are.”
Background: Fereldan Freewoman (Constitution +1, Stamina, Communication +1, Riding),
can speak and read the Trade Tongue
---
Communication: 3 (Leadership); Constitution*: 4 (Stamina); Cunning: 2 (Military Lore);
Dexterity*: 4 (Bows, Initiative, Riding);
Magic: 0; Perception: 2; Strength*: 4 (Climbing, Heavy Blades, Intimidation); Willpower:
2 (Courage, Morale, Self-Discipline)
---
Specialization: Champion (M); Stunt Bonuses: Dual Strike (3 sp), Mighty Blow (1 sp when
wielding a two-handed weapon), Threaten (1 sp); Talents: Armor Training (J), Command
(N), Two-Hander Style (M), Weapon and Shield Style (N)
---
Attack: The Summersword +6, damage 3d6+9
---
Equipment: Red steel light plate armor (armor value 8, armor penalty -2) (DA:RPG, DMG2,
p. 36)
The Summersword
In 8:84 Blessed, Lord Aurelien of Montsimmard commissioned a sword for his youngest son
Luis. Lord Aurelien sought out the most renowned master smith in the Orlesian Empire,
Vercenne of Halamshiral. The old master labored for several months, folding steel, honing
the edge to perfection. The resulting blade was as long as a man is tall, and sharp as the
tongue of any noblewoman. Vercenne proclaimed it, in a fit of irony, the "Summer Sword",
since he had crafted it in the winter of his lifetime.
—From Codex entry: The Summer Sword
The hilt of this immense sword bears the mark of Vercenne of Halamshiral, believed to be the
greatest smith in the history of the Orlesian Empire.
Weapon Type: Silverite greatsword; Minimum Strength: 1; Talent Level Bonus: One
level; Focus Benefit: Yes; Attack Bonus: No; Damage Bonus: +5; Other Benefits: When
performing the Skirmish stunt (to move an opponent only), the wielder of this weapon moves
the target 2 additional yards.
Ser Cauthrien is a knight and Teyrn Loghain's most trusted lieutenant, as well as the leader of
Maric's Shield, Loghain's hand picked elite force. Cauthrien came to Loghain's service the
hard way--she belonged to a poor family and was out doing work on the farm when she saw a
man on horseback being attacked by several bandits. She rushed to his assistance, and found
out belatedly that the man she "saved" was none other than the great hero Loghain. Though
she was hardly more than a child, he took her in, offering her a position with his soldiers, and
she climbed through the ranks through sheer determination. Becoming the commander of
Maric's Shield, Loghain's elite soldiers, was the proudest moment of her life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BHELEN AEDUCAN (Dragon Age: Origins)
“We need absolute unity to fight against the fulcrum of true evil.”
Background: High-Born Dwarf (Strength +1, Willpower +1, Heraldry, Intimidation), magic resistance,
can speak and read Dwarven the Trade Tongue
---
Communication: 4 (Deception, Etiquette); Constitution*: 2; Cunning: 4 (Heraldry, Military Lore);
Dexterity*: 0 (Brawling); Magic: 0; Perception: 2; Strength*: 2 (Heavy Blades, Intimidation);
Willpower: 2
---
Talents: Armor Training (J), Intrigue (N), Two-Hander Style (N), Weapon and Shield Style (N). Consider
weapon style talents to be one rank higher when Bhelen is using his usual equipment.
---
Speed: 6 (8 without armor); Defense: 10 (12 with medium shield); Armor: 10
Attack: longsword +6 (damage 2d6+4) or shield +2 (damage 1d6+3, improvised weapon)
---
Equipment: Pretty much anything he dreams of. For a game where the characters actually get a shot
at fighting Bhelen, you can assume he'll be wearing heavy silverite-grade plate (armor value 10,
armor penalty -2) and wielding silverite-grade weapons with moderate bonuses to attack and
damage (at the +2 range) that grant the benefits of focus and an extra talent degree; the stats above
reflect that.
Third of King Endrin Aeducan's children, Bhelen of House Aeducan has always been considered the
last and least important of his family. Not the heir, nor the favourite, and not as accomplished as
either sibling, Bhelen's most notable trait is his ability to stay out of trouble. Bhelen also has a
concubine, Rica Brosca, the sister of Natia Brosca.
Bhelen's build is the perfect example of a "non-optimized" warrior build. It can represent a noble with
immense talent for intrigue and politics and a warrior's training focusing on roleplaying instead of
combat. Thus, Bhelen is much more useful as a plot device, playing the players and his enemies
against each other while getting the most of all situations.

Riordan is a native Fereldan, born and bred in Highever. He joined the Wardens at the same time as
Duncan. Having lost contact with Ferelden's Grey Wardens, Riordan was sent to Denerim to find out
what had become of them; however he was captured and taken prisoner by Rendon Howe after Howe
had invited him with an offer of parley and subsequently drugged him.
He is a serious man, and a soldier; one who is accustomed to discipline and used to being in a position
of leadership. If circumstances were different, he would be the center of the story, not the Warden,
and the one leading the charge against the forces of evil. He is a hero, and one who is determined to
do his duty no matter the consequences. In order to stop the darkspawn, some things must be
sacrificed, even lives—but he would prefer to give his own life before he sacrifices someone else's.
During the final battle of the Fifth Blight, Riordan assists the Hero of Ferelden in taking Denerim's
gates. After clearing the gates of darkspawn, senses the Archdemon flying nearby, chasing it once he
spots it. Riordan jumps off a tower onto its back, stabbing it several times. After some twists and
turns, however, the Archdemon manages to kill Riordan by throwing him off at a great height, but not
before Riordan has inflicted a serious wound to its wing, forcing it to land on top of Fort Drakon for
the remaining Wardens to finish off.

“Before them I was nothing. I was a slave. My parents sold me into it. The Qunari gave me refuge, a
purpose, and a name: Tallis.”

---
Equipment: Backpack, traveler's garb, waterskin, twin daggers ("Kathryn" and "Thane"), light leather
armor, set of throwing knives, 3d6+50 silver pieces.
Tallis was born in Tevinter, where slavery is legal. In Minrathous, she was sold into slavery by her
parents so they could pay off their debts. She was on a slaver ship bound for the city of Carastes when
the Qunari boarded and captured the ship. Everyone aboard was brought to the island fortress of
Qunathras, to the east of Seheron. Tallis was initially deemed an unsuitable convert, and would have
been rendered a mindless laborer if not for the intervention of Salit, a high-ranking Ben-Hassrath
agent, who formally requested that the tammasrans turn the girl over to him so he could train her to
become a Tallis, "those who solve". Her duties involved travelling to non-Qunari lands, primarily
Orlais and Nevarra, where she was tasked with burglaries, heists, and assassinations. She always
completed those missions successfully, though never to the complete specifications of her superiors.
They would have preferred the mission be abandoned rather than completed imperfectly.
Tallis finally pushed them over the edge during a mission to retrieve a Qunari artifact in the
possession of Count Alphonse Valmont in Arlesans. During the heist, Tallis found human and elven
children being kept as sex slaves and set them free, killing the Count and several of his guards in the
process. This set off a diplomatic incident that almost led to war between the Qunari and Orlais. Tallis
had failed to steal the object without leaving any trace as she had been ordered and she was
therefore demoted to the rank of "Athlok" - a laborer. She was assigned as a kitchen-hand on a boat
docked in Kirkwall, during the Arishok's stay in Kirkwall. She was offered a chance to redeem herself
two years later.

pain that they had to cover the torture chamber's door with runes "to block out the screaming."

Dragon Age: Witch Hunt Characters
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Witch Hunt is a downloadable content for Dragon Age: Origins that explores the whereabouts of
Morrigan, the Witch of the Wilds, who aided the Warden during the Fifth Blight. The final DLC for
Origins, it was released on September 7th, 2010.
The dreaded Archdemon has been slain and the advance of the darkspawn halted by a lone, heroic
Grey Warden. The kingdom rejoices, but at least one question remains: what happened to Morrigan?
The sorceress joined the Wardens' cause, but it is said her true purpose was not revealed until the eve
of the last battle. She vanished into the shadows, and while rumors claimed she crossed over the
mountains into Orlais no trace of her path could be found. She was never heard from again... until
now. Nearly a year has passed since the Archdemon's death, and word has reached the Wardens that
Morrigan has returned to Ferelden. She has been sighted in the southern wilderness where she was
first encountered. Is it truly her? If it is, then why is she here and what secret does she carry with her?
The Warden heads into the forest to find out and tie up this last loose end once and for all.

Ariane is a gifted Dalish warrior, and her clan's best hunter. When an ancient artifact
belonging to the clan's Keeper, Solan, is stolen, one with a history tied to the very roots of the
elven people, Ariane is charged with the task of reclaiming it. She is determined to carry out
her solemn duty, and when her task turns out to intersect with the Warden-Commander's
quest to find Morrigan she realizes that there may be far more to the artifact's disappearance
than simple theft. Ariane also has a great fondness for 'shemlen' pickles.

Finn is a young mage from the Circle of Magi in Ferelden. His parents are Magistrate
Kingston Aldebrant of West Hill and his wife Florence. He considers himself the Circle's best
linguist and foremost expert on ancient Tevinter history–even if others might consider him
more of a bookworm, a recluse that spends all of his time in the tower's dark library. Finn is
the unlikeliest of adventurers but it may come to pass that his academic expertise will force
him out of the library and into an adventure where his arcane might is the only thing that
stands between him and certain death. Unlike most other mages of the circle who have no
contact with their families, Finn actually has a very close relationship with his parents.
Vera
This staff is Finn's staff. He's named it "Vera" for some reason.
Weapon Type: White steel quarterstaff; Minimum Strength: -; Talent Level Bonus: One
level; Focus Benefit: Yes; Attack Bonus: +2; Damage Bonus: +2; Other Benefits: Arcane

the Warden-Commander and companions set off on a mission to locate Morrigan, Dog accompanies
them.
Dragon Age Journeys

(Note: To answer some questions in advance, all these characters were built with the point-
buy rules from Set 2; additionally, art and additional texts were taken from the Dragon Age
Wikia.)
Dragon Age Journeys is a 2-D flash game set in the Dragon Age universe released on
November 3, 2009. It is a single player game, told in three chapters. Ethan Levy, a producer
with EA 2-D, describes it as a "tactical RPG". It features classes, spells, talents, sound effects
and music taken directly from Dragon Age: Origins.
Unfortunately, only Chapter One was produced, with Chapters two and three cancelled before
release
Chapter One: The Deep Roads

Chapter one is set in the dwarven city of Orzammar and the darkspawn infested Deep Roads.
Story
The protagonist of the game Journeys starts in the Deep Roads, being there for different
reasons according to his/her race and background.
Whatever the reasons though, the protagonist's party is quickly attacked by a glowing
Hurlock emissary, an Ogre and some darkspawn. The others in the party die but the
protagonist manages to flee and barely alive, arrives back at Orzammar.
After being healed by a Spirit healer named Ardum, the protagonist ventures back to the Deep
roads, searching for a Warden named Martine.
The three have to gain the approval of some citizens of Orzammar so as to speak with the
King and inform him of the new threat. During the quests, a new member may enter the party,
Ryanth the bard.
In the end, during a quest given by the crime lord Saria, one to find what happened with her
diamond smugglers, the party encounters the glowing Emissary in a nearby diamond mine.
The emissary placed plenty of digging darkspawn for some unknown reason.
Already weakened from powering his digging machines, the party of the protagonist is able to
defeat the Emissary, who flees and manages to escape. The protagonist shuts down the
emissary's excavation site, left wondering what the emissary was actually searching for...
Low Level Characters with Specializations
The three Dragon Age Journeys companions presented below - Ardum, Ryanth, and Martine -
are unique because just like Morrigan, Leliana or Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins, they
have specializations before 6th level. Such a thing is not possible by DA:RPG rules, but
happens a lot in the games. So, what can we do?
Well, as they are NPCs, you should not worry about it. But you can also allow your PCs to
treat specializations as any other talent, so they could be selected before 6th level as
specialized training. The character still needs the prerequisites for the specialization.

improvised weapon, minor action)
---
Equipment: Backpack, traveler's garb, waterskin, Tug's Edge, heavy mail armor, medium
shield, 3d6+50 silver pieces.
Tug's Edge
A heavy weapon, the plain blade contrasted by a small disc of deeply engraved gold bound
into the grip. It is probably a family crest, but it doesn't look dwarven, and Tug has never
dwelled on his past.
Weapon Type: Battle axe; Minimum Strength: 1; Talent Level Bonus: No; Focus Benefit:
No; Attack Bonus: No; Damage Bonus: No; Other Benefits: This axe ignores 1 point of
armor when striking an armored foe (this also applies to foes with natural armor).
Tug is brash, cunning, uncomplicated – an excellent frontline thug who doesn't ask questions
and knows when he should leave the planning to someone else. Fiercely loyal to his friends,
even as he gives them a hard time. A strange fit to follow a bard, although he'd claim there's
no better view.
Tug bears a Casteless brand but is unlike other casteless dwarves. His family in Orzammar, if
he has any left, is untraceable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

weapon, minor action)

Equipment: Backpack, traveler's garb, waterskin, longsword, medium shield, heavy mail armor,
Silas was a rebel soldier during the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden. Years later, he was hunting on
the grounds of Arl Urien of Denerim without permission when Harwen Raleigh captured him and
locked him in the dungeons of the Arl's estate. He was there for some months when Leliana finally
found him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SKETCH
"Denerim doesn't smell great. Can't believe I miss Orlais."
Background: Apostate (elf, Willpower +1, Magic +1, Natural Lore), can speak and read the Trade
Tongue and speak Elven

Communication: 2; Constitution: 2; Cunning*: 4 (Arcane Lore, Healing, Natural Lore); Dexterity: 2

Spellpower: 15 (17 for Creation or Primal spells). Spends 1 less mana to cast Creation spells.
Spells: Arcane bolt, arcane shield, flame blast, flaming weapons, group heal, heal, heroic aura, heroic
defense, heroic offense, life ward, lightning, revival, shock
---
Sketch is a bookish, nervous mage who is frighteningly capable when backed into a corner. Not the
adventuring type, but as dangerous as the game of intrigue can be, it is still preferable to a life spent
caged by the templars. Sketch despises the Circle of Magi.
Sketch appears to have little patience for Leliana's embellishing their past. However, Leliana
nonetheless seeks his help regarding messages left by their mutual friend, Tug. Sketch's whereabouts
are largely unknown except to his former comrade, but he appears to have made a reputation for
himself as someone who sees problems differently and has a unique approach to knowledge and
problem solving.

Mhairi is a knight from Dragon's Peak. When she was a child, she was enraptured by tales of kings
and nobles. All she wanted was to be like them, to fight for what she believed. Betrothed to a trader
when she turned 16, she saw the life that lay ahead of her and enlisted in the army instead.. Her
fierce loyalty and devotion to Ferelden earned her the love and respect of her commanders and
brothers-in-arms and she was eventually knighted.
Mhairi fought in the Battle of Ostagar. Loghain's betrayal of King Cailan and the King's death hit her
hard, and when she learned of the two Grey Wardens who quelled the Blight almost single-handedly,
she vowed to serve the Wardens. When the call came for volunteers to help rebuild the order in the
Arling of Amaranthine, Mhairi jumped at the chance to join. Mhairi’s swordplay is good enough that
the Warden-Commander immediately notices and mentions it after seeing her fight only once.
Despite her enthusiasm for the Wardens, Mhairi does not survive the Joining ritual.

A note on equipment: Cassandra actually owns and wears a Seeker Heavy Plate Armor (even if for a
single scene), but she spends most of the movie with a heavy leather armor.
Cassandra Allegra Portia Calogera Filomena Pentaghast (born 9:03-9:04 Dragon) is a Nevarran of the
royal Pentaghast family and Seeker of the Chantry. She began her Seeker training at the fortress of
Montsimmard, apprenticed to a senior member named Seeker Byron, where the majority of the focus
was on her religious rather than martial education. Though this frustrated her at first, she eventually
embraced her studies and excelled. She underwent her vigil at the age of fifteen in a remote castle in
the Blasted Hills of Orlais, the youngest Seeker to do so since the Storm Age. Though of noble birth,
Cassandra Pentaghast turned her back on a life of wealth and privilege to join the Seekers of Truth.
The ancient order serves as a watchful eye over corruption and magical threats, granted ultimate
authority in its investigations by the Chantry.
The above stats are for a very young (17-18 years old) Cassandra, before she effectively had any real
specialization.

Martel is a Knight-Commander in the Templar Order in Orlais. Distrustful of the Seekers of Truth, he
does not get along with High Seeker Aldren. He is Frenic's co-conspirator and plans to assassinate the
Divine and other Grand Clerics to later be the one to lead the Chantry into a new age where the
Templars rule supreme. On this he is supported by Grand Cleric Callista, to whom he regularly
confesses and who is the real mastermind behind the conspiracy. Together, they plotted to seize
control of the Chantry, with Callista as the new Divine, and planned on betraying Frenic.

Blood Magic: When casting a spell, a blood mage can use the blood of a creature within 6 yards
(including themselves) to power their spells. Using the blood of an unwilling target requires a Magic
(Blood) vs. Willpower (Faith or Self-Discipline) test. The target takes 1d6 penetrating damage (or 2d6
penetrating damage if the target is adjacent and helpless), and the blood mage gains a number of
mana points equal to the damage dealt. These mana points must be spent on the spell the mage is
currently casting.
Blood Shield: When a blood mage is under the effects of arcane shield and an enemy attacks him,
the enemy takes 1d6 penetrating damage and the blood mage recovers Health equal to the damage
done.
Weapon Groups: Brawling and Staves.
---
Speed: 10; Defense: 10 (17 with arcane shield); Armor: 0
Spellpower: 15 (17 for Blood and Spirit spells)
Spells: Arcane bolt, arcane shield, blood sacrifice, blood wound, small animal form, and wrack.
---
Equipment: Quarterstaff.
Frenic is the leader of a group of blood mages in Orlais. He and his cult of blood mages were partially
responsible for the plot to use high dragons with the intention of assaulting Val Royeaux and killing
the Divine and the Grand Clerics.
Frenic stats were based on those of a NPC blood mage (DA:RPG Core, page 271) with some minor
adjustments, in particular some unusual spells that he somehow learned during his career. In
hindsight I could have made him much more dangerous by adjusting his Magic and Willpower instead
of physical abilities - but that's not how he's shown in the movie. Besides, he's enough of a threat for
our main characters as-is.
