Daeron: Tevinter Border Fort
Daeron sat outside the Chantry gates offering food to a group of children that he the last patrol had picked up. He planed for them to be sent to Wheisshaupt Fortress to help care for the aging building. They would travel along with his Warden Recruits and a senior Warden. However right now he was awaiting his team, a call had gone out and answers had come from unlikely sources. Daeron would soon have a team of mages, warriors, and other assorted champions at his back. They had been told they were searching for an Archdemon but the truth was, they were searching for one of the seven. Seven high priests of the old gods had become the original Darkspawn, one was dead and the Warden commander claimed another to be dead as well.
Daeron waved Valya as she walked the walls with three of her comrades, the other Grey Wardens from her joining. The mage Elf was from the city, an alienage to be precise she always asked him about being Dalish and he always told her stories of it. They had been working together for years, on something Wardens had kept secret and in waiting. The Elf patted a young human boy on the head as he got up and walked up to the gate. This old Fort was set along a road that lead right into the heart Tevinter, Soldiers from the Anderfels, Grey Wardens, and dwarves fresh from Kal'Sharok have arrived to defend and drive back any Dark spawn. The dwarves seem eager to fight Darkspawn alongside them, perhaps it was simply the hatred they had for the beast.
From up in the watch tower he heard the call of one of the lookouts. "Darkspawn raiding party! I can't make out a number but the it looks like at least thirty. Inside the Chantry they began to sing, they thought faith would save or at least faith in their protectors.
He hadn't time to go check if his comrades had arrived, Daeron the ranking Grey Warden began to issue orders. "All Wardens to the stables. Warden recruits to the walls along with the Dwarves, lets make it quick people!" He yelled as they all scrambled up into their positions. The Darkspawn had entered the valley below when the first arrows hit them.
The Darkspawn did not fear much, nor retreat yet what came next made them pause as if to question the reality of the situation. Five Grey Wardens, Daeron out in front of them came over the wall on Griffons, the majestic creatures had been rediscovers nearly fifteen years ago thanks to Valya and her breeding program they now had well over fifty griffons. Daeron had been working with them to train and relearn the lost art of griffon combat, Daeron released arrows, Valya let of spells other dived driving lances and sword into the unprepared creatures. They had numbers but now the they had flight. From the walls he heard cheers as refugees and soldiers alike cheered for the Wardens.
Right now they were most deadly things in the sky. As the Darkspawn thinned and eventually began to retreat he landed back in the court yard the other Wardens going out after them. Petting Storm Beak's mane he smiled. "Very good girl, you showed those Darkspawn huh? I'm gonna give you a nice rub down and a sheep for dinner, sound good Beaky?" The Griffon responded by putting it's wing over him and cawing in strange bird-like roar.
