What seems like a quick quest turns into an apocalyptic mess as the qunari destroy the city and kill anyone in their way. It all comes down to Hawke and the Arishok.

Back at the Hawke Estate, a cat fight is brewing (though it's more like a Lion versus a jaguar). Aveline and Isabela both need Hawke's help with a problem, but whose is more pressing? Isabela, who has been hunting a relic for years that someone wants to kill her over? Or Aveline, who must ask the Arishok to stop protecting fugitives from the guards? Spoiler alert, it's not Aveline.

Oh hey, we were supposed to do something for the Viscount. Good thing that guy is still at the hanged man getting drunk and bragging about being an absolute shithead. Hawke gets some information out of the guy, a templar with the grand cleric's seal abducted the qunari and paid our drunkard to turn his head. We don't get the opportunity to speak with Grand Cleric Elthina, though, because Mother Petrice intercepts us to say that the grand cleric would never sanction such a thing but surely it's fine because she trusts her subordinates to do the right thing. If we press Petrice, then she will sacrifice her trusted bodyguard Ser Varnell and label him a fanatic. She gives us his location and arrives on our heels to disavow Varnell's actions and set Hawke up as the coming retribution. One dead templar later, the Viscount has a huge headache to deal with.

Our dear friend Hubert is back with news on who has been raiding our shipments. He brings us a man from Lothering named Sabin. After some questioning and the appearance of a consultant from the coterie, Sabin reveals that there will be an ambush. We arrive too late to save our guards, but we can at least take out their attackers. Once the dust has settled, Lilley the coterie consultant points out that she knows one of the dead men and that he works for a man in the coterie named Brekker. She tells us to meet her in dark town to get an update, but when we arrive she is dead and the coterie are looking for someone to blame. After that we confront Brekker and everything is fine with the mines for now. Except for the spiders, the revenant, and the broken pickaxes of course.

Aveline, Captain of the Guard, has an important favor to ask of us– deliver a gift to one guardsman Donnic. Weird, but okay. Donnic is just as baffled as we are. On top of that, Aveline has him working an easy patrol, which isn't what someone who takes his job seriously would want. Before Aveline can give Donnic's mother some goats and call it a day, we convince her there are easier and less confusing ways. Will Aveline win the guy?

Another day, another friend needs our help. Merril reveals to us why she left her clan, a dark mirror that her people associate with evil due to the perceived role it played in the death of one of their people. Merril, convinced that the mirror holds the key to restoring a piece of elven history, is determined to repair it using blood magic. The mirror is incomplete and she needs a relic from her people to finish it–a relic that she must ask the keeper for. Afraid of her mother figure, Merril asks us to accompany her on this quest. Along the way, Merril receives the cold shoulder from everyone in her clan due to her work with demons and blood magic. This fear leads to the death of an innocent hunter and we must decide whether or not to support Merril's mission.

We find Sebastian in the Chantry talking to Grand Cleric Elthina. Despite killing Flit Company mercenaries, there is more to be done for the prince of Starkhaven. He has discovered that his family's allies, the Harimanns are responsible for the murder of his family. He doesn't want to provoke a war, but it isn't the best idea for the sole heir to walk into enemy territory alone. Thankfully Hawke is the kind of person who gets voluntold into things and will help Sebastian whether they like it or not. Upon entering the estate, Sebastian comments that something isn't right–which is proven as we encounter each member of the household. Drunk, mad, and sex crazed, no one of the house even registers our presence until we attempt to press further into the expansion underground. After some demon confrontations, we continue into the underground ruins where shades, rage demons, skeletons, and revenants all try to slow us down. At the end, we find Lady Harimann kneeling before a desire demon demanding more power. Can the desire demon persuade us to her side? Is Sebastian truly as altruistic as he believes?

The Arishok informs Hawke that there was a theft. Someone stole what they thought was the formula for explosive gaatlock powder but it was switched out with the formula for a poisonous gas. After a long trek through a smuggler's cave, Hawke confronts the obvious thief, Javaris, only to discover he's the fall guy and the real thief is an elf woman. Back to Lowtown Hawke goes to find a side alley covered in a green gas. After some fighting and closing off the gas barrels, Hawke comes face to face with the real thief and learns more about her motivations. Once all is done, Hawke returns to the Arishok to deliver the news–and to be given further insight into the Qunari occupation.

IT'S TIME. After we give Bartrand our gold and maps, then it's time to select our party and get going. But not before Leandra begs us to leave our little sibling home. She never wants us to do anything fun. No matter who Hawke takes along, it is a long march through the deep roads until we hit a cave in. Hawke must take initiative and clear out the dangerous side passageways of darkspawn before the party can progress. Along the way, we find a familiar face with some familiar and yet still mind boggling enchantments/not enchantments. Once we find the creepy primeval thaig, everything goes to shit. Batrand betrays us over an idol made of lyrium, we discover some ancient hungry rock wraiths, and a demon offers us a deal so we can leave. Will everyone survive the expedition?

Hawke receives a mysterious letter requesting a meeting on the wounded coast to save some innocent lives. When Hawke and company arrive, it is Ser Thrask, our templar acquaintance whose own mage daughter chose to die rather than live in the circle. Thrask informs Hawke that there are apostate mages hiding in the caverns behind him. They escaped while being transported from Starkhaven to Kirkwall. Thrask begs Hawke to convince the mages to surrender because if they don't, another templar who has less room in his heart for mercy will flat out kill them all without giving it a second thought. Through the cavern Hawke goes to fight many skellingtons and come face to face with Decimus, the leader of this band of apostates. Decimus refuses to talk to us, takes us to be Templar allies immediately, and initiates a fight. Once he's dead, Hawke must decide what to do with the remaining mages. Submit them to the circle or help them flee. Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our amazing logo as well as to Miracle of Sound for the song Age Of The  Dragon, which we use as our theme music.

Kirkwall runs on rumors, and our buddy Varric is the sieve through which they filter down into actionable information. According to Varric, a chantry sister is roaming low town at night looking for help with a special task. The sister in question, Sister Petrice, can be found making a poor decision to follow some unsavory characters into an alleyway. After Hawke's intervention, Petrice offers us a job that is suited for someone who can move about the dark places of Kirkwall freely. Once we visit her safe house, we learn that she is in possession of a qunari mage, a saarebas, who was separated from his handler and Petrice wishes for us to bring him to freedom–whether he wants it or not. After a skirmish in Lowtown where Saarebas shows his teeth, Hawke emerges above ground to find a nasty surprise waiting for them.
