Dragon Age Legacy

Map.png

The year is 9:34 Dragon, a time of relative peace and stability in southern Thedas.

It has been three years since two Grey Wardens – the younger son of the Cousland noble family, and Alistair Therin brother to King Cailan – ended the civil unrest in Ferelden and united the armies of Arl Eamon Guerrin of Redcliffe, the dwarves of Orzammar under King Bhelan, the Dalish elves of the Brecilian Forest, and the Ferelden Circle of Magi to defeat the darkspawn horde and kill the archdemon Urthemiel in the Battle of Denerim, thus ending the Fifth Blight.

The calm before the storm lays before us. The Hero of Ferelden has gone missing. Whispered rumors speak of unrest in the Circles of Magi. Though the blight ended, darkspawn are regularly sighted in the Deep Roads. And word has reached Jader that a Ferelden refugee named Hawke was named the Champion of Kirkwall after she saved the city from a Qunari incursion by killing the Arishok in single combat.

Jader is a port on the Waking Sea, an Orlesian city on the border with Ferelden, and occupies a geographically central position in southern Thedas, near the foothills of the frostback mountains and Orzammar. Travelers, merchants, and goods from across the known world have passed through Jader for ages, and it is home to people of diverse origins. The city holds many secrets, both new and old.

Every city in Thedas has its adventurers and heroes, and Jader is no different. Who will your character be?

Summary of the post completed in March

As Rhiannon recommended, the adventurers spent the night on the ship and were already aboard when Jessamir commanded her crew to set sail. Vasil began his crew duties by searching the ship for stowaways. As first mate, Rhiannon was up late the night before and is up early in the morning. Kalian had an enlightening conversation with Jessamir, who explained the correct way for Kalian to propose to Rhiannon. Katya and Kithris emerged from their shared cabin, and Kithris became seasick. Elinowy also succombed to seasickness and asked Kalian to bring her hot water for tea.

Finally, the Night's Kiss set off for West Hill Bannorn.

Summary of posts completed in February

Ten days in the past, the night before Grey Warden Jaslyn is to leave on a mission for Mother Giselle and Lady Seryl, she meets fellow Grey Warden Rahvin outside Jader near the Grey Warden compound. They reminisce about their shared past and a potential new relationship is kindled between them.

After the meeting in the chantry where Mother Giselle and Lady Seryl asked our group of heroes to investigate the Bann of West Hill, his relic collection, and the fate of Grey Warden Jaslyn, Captain Jessamir provided Vasil with coin and charged her new security specialist with acquiring appropriate equipment. Among other shops in Jader, Vasil visited the Blue Steel blacksmith shop. The brothers - Derek the blacksmith and Hansel the salesman - welcomed him and eventually sold him a leaf style double-edged short sword.

Summary of posts completed in January

Three days after clearing out the Baudelaire mansion, Katya and Kithris go on a date. Over dinner they confess their deep affection for each other.

Three weeks after the assassination attempt on Mother Giselle and other notable figures, many of our heroes were attending Chantry services presided over by Mother Giselle. Katya brought her new elven partner Kithris. Rhiannon and Kalian attended with Kalian's father and young niece. The new Knight Lieutenant Alexandra sat with Knight Captain Dunbar and the other Templars. Elinowy sang in the choir, and Grey Warden Rahvin waited in the back. After the service, Lady Seryl and Mother Giselle addressed the heroes after the arrival of Jessamir, captain of the Night's Kiss with her new security specialist Vasil, the two leaders of Jader presented them with a mission.

Giselle had previously sent Grey Warden Jaslyn to West Hill Bannorn in Ferelden to investigate a potentially dangerous addition to Bann Franderel's collection of relics. Their limited messages suggest that Jaslyn has run into trouble. Lady Seryl and Mother Giselle ask the adventurers to go to West Hill Bannorn to find out what happened.

Best wishes for a happy and fulfilling 2024!

Two new players have joined our four confirmed returning veteran players (including me), and DA:L is off to a great re-start!


Summary of posts completed in December

Kalian took Rhiannon on a special date. He met her at the Night's Kiss under the scrutiny of Captain Jessamir, Rhiannon's mother, then they walked to the Hightown district where Kalian had arranged for them to enjoy a romantic meal and overnight stay at the luxurious home of the dowager Lady Randel.

After getting caught stealing from Captain Jessamir's warehouse, Vasil, a young human thief, found himself in the Jader Guard's jail. Guardswoman Audrey brought him before the Magistrate and Jessamir. After the captain of the Night's Kiss interviewed Vasil, she saw potential in the young man and offered him the opportunity to accept a job as her security expert and work off his debt to her.

Cheers,
Sprite


» Dragon Age Legacy is Back!

Posted on 13 Dec 2023 @ 7:18pm by Mage Kalian Winter in General News

Towards the end of the "Hall of the Phantom Shadow" adventure that was completed in July, participation in Dragon Age Legacy dropped off significantly. In September we officially took a break.

But now we are back and about to start a new adventure!

Bann Voyage
Mother Giselle and Lady Seryl ask our heroes to travel to West Hill Bannorn in Ferelden. Rumors circulate that Franderel, the Bann of West Hill, has acquired a potentially dangerous relic for his collection. The lone messenger Giselle and Seryl previously sent to investigate has not returned.

The adventurers will need to travel from Jader to West Hill bannorn, which is located in northern Ferelden on the Waking Sea. There they will potentially confront Bann Franderel, get the artifact, and find out what happened to the messenger.

(Fans of the Dragon Age: Origins game might recall that Bann Franderel was a target of the Slim Couldry/Crime Wave series of quests.)

In the meantime, two story posts are in-progress, one with Kithris and Katya on a date, and the other with Rhiannon and Kalian on a date.

Cheers,
Sprite

P.S.: This is a great time to join!

Kalian was not exactly sure what Rhiannon's responsibilities were aboard ship whilst the Night's Kiss was underway, or what he was supposed to do besides stay out of the way. Besides, he knew that Rhiannon would find him if she had time to relax.

So when he saw Jessamir's new…

Standing on the hill, looking towards Ferelden, Rahvin could…
