Fallout Tactics has death claws that can talk, scary killer robots, and the ability to have a tank. It just doesn't... Sit well with the rest of lore.

@Expllo @Theyra just reaching out to let you know the OOC is up as listed above if you are still interested! The discord is also available as well.
@PatientBean Right all good to go! Feel free to move it over.
@TinyKiwi I would ask you flesh out that backstory a bit more just to give us some understanding of not only where his clan was during all this hiding but also why he would end up with the Grey Wardens, or how long he was with them? Sheet is very well detailed and I love the choice of shapeshifter it felt under utilized after the first game.

@PatientBean Would you mind covering a bit about her time with the Order? Just to understand how long she's been with or how new she is? Other than she seems to have a very solid backstory, life as a bard would make useful to the order expanding political plans later as well.

@Randomguy Interesting! I'm sure he will be interested in Weisshaupt's research with Avernus into the taint being used against demons but also in finding ways to use these Blight cursed magics to heal the lands of the taint. Also I'm sure he will have an opinion on the Venatori seizing power in the Imperium. Accepted!
The OOC is live!

@Randomguy Yes it is still open.
Dragon Age: The Grey Dawn







"In War, Victory.
In Peace, Vigilance.
In Death, Sacrifice.”




The recall had been ongoing, the Wardens from across all of Thedas made their way to either local headquarters or Weisshaupt whichever was closer. As the news they received was shocking, while the orders ranks were swollen and they had once again gained access to their winged companions long thought extinct, news came down that the Warden's themselves would be installed as rulers within Anderfel's a nation under constant Darkspawn threat needed the best in fighting off those cursed with the taint. Moreso, that the senior most Warden's believed they had located where the Old God Lusacan sleeps, a chance to slay Blight before it begins. With the dwarves at the wardens' back and with Tevinter having been overtaken by Venatori and kicked the grey wardens from their lands along with seizing control of the Black Divine.

As well as a loss of faith across southern Thedas in the grey wardens their numbers may never again grow to this scale. However research done by the mages of order and with knowledge gleaned from the Inquisition, Corypheus, information sent back by Warden Commander Theron and the journal Isseya they have managed to create a new discipline of magic. Namely focused on removing the taint from the land, healing the area around it, first tested within Anders and dwarven lands it has helped see a marked rise in birth rates among animals and better health among those living in the regions.

You as a warden chosen for this expedition will be heading into sections of the deep roads not explored in centuries, you will embark from Weisshaupt to slay an Old God before it can become an Archdemon... Or slay an Archdemon before it might begin a Blight. What is known is that either way, this mission is of vital importance. While not openly stated, it is believed that additional Magister's sidereal may be below conspiring to control the Darkspawn, it may not be the total of seven threats to Thedas we face, but fourteen, and only half of them are dead.

If this mission is successful we can take this to the nations of Thedas for support in rooting Darkspawn out from below, but we must show results before we can tell them of our plans. Charter boats, mount griffins, Halla, Horses, or whatever transport you can find and make haste to Weisshaupt. You have been chosen for a task like no Warden before.




Here is the information on the state of Thedas, not all of this is exactly as it is in the games, some changes have been made for making a more interesting setting. Also to influence things in the direction of the Order's reformation and growth

@PatientBean Of course happy to have you!
@Expllo @Richard Horthy @Theyra @Mao Mao @POOHEAD189

I got the Discord set up and a character sheet skeleton up, I am hoping to have an OOC sorted soon, but I ended up having more time tonight than expected to finish this and wanted to let people start thinking on things.
@Expllo @Richard Horthy @Theyra @Mao Mao thank you for the interest, I am very excited to run this as I've had it kicking around for awhile! I'm already working on the OOC at the moment, I'll try and push the character sheet and a discord link out this weekend.
Dragon Age: The Grey Dawn







"Join us brothers and sisters.
Join us in the shadows where we stand vigilant.
Join us as we carry the duty that cannot be forsworn.
And should you perish, know that your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
And that one day we shall join you.”




The walls of Weisshaupt no longer sat in disrepair, no more chipped stone and worn banners lay upon the ancient fortress. The once crumbling mausoleum of the slayers had been repaired, statues to the five heroes of the blights with space for two more sat waiting their arms and armor placed within their crypt. The near vertical mountain trails were clamoring with Anders nobles, their entourage, Wardens of all nations, and visitors making their way to the grand fortress, as the warden commanders and first warden prepared for arrival of those that came to speak for the great powers of the world. The Tevinter Imperium has recently seen the Venatori come into power, Kirkwall's viscount spent most of his time away on business.

It is the year forty-nine dragon, the grey wardens have had years of strife and reconciliation, now they are growing some say it is a power play. Others claim that the stories Corypheus being an original Dark Spawn have set a fire under the order not seen in generations pushing them to go from waiting to proactively looking for ways to deal with the Dark Spawn menace for good. While the world seems to forget how on the brink it was just years ago, the Wardens have felt nothing but fury at the tricks played upon them and cowardice their leadership showed.

However, with the fourth generation of griffin's on the way the order has also stepped up taking in and training new griffin riders. The return of these mighty beasts have not only emboldened the wardens but helped return them to renown across Thedas as the only winged calvary to ever exist have returned. This also comes as new research into the blight and the many mages who joined to escape the mage-templar war shows promise in purging the blight from the land and healing it. While the circles have turned into homes of study where templars watch from afar, the grey wardens in turn have offered up newly freed mages a place to learn more forbidden skills and put them to use against the Darkspawn.

Now, as the summit for future Anderfels begins, the warden's arrive from across Thedas some who have never been to Weisshaupt before, others recalled. It appears the first warden has news for them after the meeting diplomats from across Thedas, one that could set the order a new path, for the fifth blight was gone in a year with no great loss of lives as before. Rumor's abound they will battle another returned magister sidereal or that they may even be marshalled to defend the Anderfels and make the entire nation their home. What is certain is this, whatever is coming, for the first time in centuries the Grey Wardens influence is on the rise.




Hello and thank you for your interest! As you saw above this RP will focus on the grey wardens about six years after the events of the Inquisition. I will be working a full timeline breakdown later but for now I want to get to the main focus of this, namely playing off little details in the world that should have had more impact than they originally were rumored too. There will be use of class archetypes and subclasses as ways to help bolster and focus character. As well as few new subclasses built around the grey wardens new friends and Avernus's research into taint as a source of power, as well as the Wardens own research into healing the blight.

I wanted to give a focus to all the information and understanding we have in additional content as well allow the wardens some degree of growth and adaptation. As over the course of three games there has been a massive leap in understanding of the taint and darkspawn, which I feel would help the wardens develop with their already long history of research and understanding of the taint. I am even toying with the idea of improved versions of the joining being given using Avernus's research. But that is to say the focus of this story will be on wardens or those working for them, I will be working on a character sheet soon I promise depending on what peoples level of interest is in this.

However, let us move on to the plot of this. A better description will come with main RP but in essence first major act of this story will be the Warden's embarking on a journey to try and locate, possibly kill an Old God rumored to be buried near Kal-Sharok. This would mark the first offensive step the grey wardens have ever taken, more importantly supporting this action is the dwarven holds who plan to use this offensive to retake territory with both sides planning to try out new weapons on the Darkspawn in hopes to finally gain respite by holding them at bay.

Obviously the story will have more beats and a wider plot than just going into the deep roads but I wanted to start us out on the warden's reacting to this emerging threat by being proactive rather than reactive.




((Thank you to Alfhedil whose CS design I modified for this))
