Magic has always run strongly within the Hawke bloodline. The tales passed down from one generation to the next tell of an ancestor named Parthalan, a mage who long ago helped to unite Ferelden under the rule of King Calenhad. Parthalan eventually vanished into legend, fleeing the persecution of the Chantry, but his legacy remains in the hands of his family - along with his hope that one day, mages would achieve the freedom that King Calenhad intended to bring to all men.
Commissioned by an infamous Nevarran dragon hunter, this armor was crafted in a time when dragons had almost been hunted to extinction. Infused with their blood, the armor gained notoriety after the hunter died at the hands of men rather than the dragons it was designed to protect him from.

Several hundred mages have gathered in the great hall. Adrian tells that when Rhys went missing a group of mages raised a ruckus. In a conversation with other Libertarians, Rhys is asked if he will stand with them. Before he can answer all mages are urged to take seats. Edmonde has little to say. Then Wynne arrives. She is not welcome: she led the College of Enchanters to vote against independence prior to its closure. Wynne speaks about the dangers of magic and advises the mages to be patient. Rhys objects that it's easy when Wynne has more freedoms than any of them. Other mages leap from their chairs and start to argue. The templars make everyone leave the hall.
Chapter 11Cole finds himself caught up in the middle of a battle, lost in a burning city with people running for their lives as darkspawn destroy everything in their path. He fights and kills several darkspawn, but there are too many and Cole is forced to run, encountering Rhys and his companions, who can all see him. It turns out that Cole has merely been brought into the Fade with them, and that they are caught up in one of Wynne's nightmares, namely the Battle of Denerim. All of Rhys's companions are suspicious of Cole, particularly when it becomes clear that he is responsible for the murders at the White Spire, but before they can deal with him, the archdemon itself launches an attack. The group are barely able to survive the ferocity of the dragon's assault, and Cole gets separated from them in the confusion, while the others escape into a different part of the Fade.
Chapter 13 Back in the real world, the group discover Pharamond has been freed of the demon's control and is back to himself, though his joy turns to horror when the elf realises he is responsible for the deaths of everyone in the fortress. Pharamond explains that he had been researching the Rite of Tranquility at the Chantry's behest for years, to see if he could find a viable alternative. Upon realising that the Rite couldn't be studied or repaired in the real world, he had to do it within the Fade. Since demons find Tranquil undesirable to possess, he had to lure one in, and while the possession was accidental, the touch of the demon on his mind reversed the Rite. He adds that it does not require a demon's touch to do so, just that of any Fade spirit, creating a viable alternative to the Rite of Tranquility. Adrian is adamant that this knowledge be preserved since it would end the Rite and the templars' potential to abuse it, while Evangeline, still following orders, argues the necessity of the Rite and that the knowledge is too dangerous. Before violence ensues, Rhys suggests an alternative: since their mission and Pharamond's research were ordered by the Divine, they should present their findings to her, a decision all of them agree to.
However, Wynne reveals that it is too late to suppress the knowledge: at her request, the Montsimmard Circle used their sending stone to spread the information regarding Pharamond's discovery to every Circle in Thedas. Despite Lambert's fury and the Divine's disapproval of Wynne's actions, Justinia agrees to a reforming of the College of Magi, to be held at the White Spire rather than its traditional meeting place in Cumberland. Lambert reluctantly agrees to it, but on three conditions: that only the First Enchanters attend, that Rhys, Adrian and Wynne are confined to their quarters until the conclave (though the Divine is able to free Wynne from this restriction), and that Pharamond be made Tranquil again. The Divine reluctantly agrees to these conditions, despite Wynne and Rhys beseeching her for mercy for Pharamond.
Chapter 20With the help of Leliana and Shale, Wynne, Cole and Evangeline have infiltrated the White Spire. The tower is mostly deserted, Lord Seeker Lambert and most of the templars having been summoned to a meeting with the Divine. On their way to the cells, Wynne and Shale destroy the White Spire's entire collection of phylacteries, including those of the captive First Enchanters, ensuring the templars can't track them. At the same time, Leliana and Cole slay the templars guarding the cells and free Adrian and the First Enchanters.
Chapter 21The group release Rhys from his cell and begin to make their escape from the White Spire through the sewers, but before they are able to, Lord Seeker Lambert catches up to them, having kept Rhys's phylactery safe. Cole tries to attack Lambert, but the Seeker is able to disrupt Cole's invisibility and fights back, insisting that this proves his claims of Cole being a demon, since the Litany of Adralla - which he used to negate Cole's power - only works against demonic influences. Lambert overpowers Cole, but Cole escapes before Lambert can kill him. Rhys attacks Lambert, calling him a fool, but he too is overpowered. However, before the Lord Seeker can kill him, Evangeline comes to his defence, denouncing Lambert as a tyrant and the two battle; to Rhys's horror, Lambert deals Evangeline a fatal blow and then flees at the arrival of Wynne and the other mages, vowing that the mages will never have freedom. As Rhys grieves over Evangeline, realising that he cares for her, Wynne consoles him. She explains she has realised why the spirit kept her alive for so many years, and transfers the spirit of Faith from herself into Evangeline, saving her son's beloved but at the cost of her own life.
Later that day, the Grand Enchanter reconvenes the conclave and puts forward the motion for separation from the Chantry again, arguing that whatever is decided, the Circles of Magi will do so as a whole. Since so few First Enchanters are present, the mages will be represented by the fraternities they belong to in the voting. As expected, the Loyalists vote that the mages submit to the Chantry, with each of the smaller fraternities electing to follow suit, while the Libertarians vote for independence; the deciding vote lies with the Aequitarians. Rhys reluctantly votes for independence and the motion is passed: the mages will fight the Chantry for their independence, their freedom, their very survival.
The game has a semi-open world structure, as the world is broken up into several sections, which players can freely explore.[4] To allow players to navigate the game's world faster, mounts, creatures players can ride, are introduced.[5] The various regions that make up the game world do not scale in level, meaning players can be too weak or strong for the enemies found in a region.[6] In each hub world, players can complete side activities such as sealing Fade rifts and capturing keeps or forts, establish camps, which are used to provide fast travel and resupply points.[7] Performing these acts will grant players resource points in Influence, which can be used to unlock global upgrades for the Inquisition named Inquisition perk, and Power, which is required for progressing the story and unlocking new areas.[8] In addition, the player can complete side missions, fetch quests, collect magical shards,[9] and solve Astrarium puzzles.[10] Players can also collect codex entries, allowing them to have a deeper understanding about the world of Thedas.[11] At Skyhold, the Inquisition's base of operations, players can access the war table to unlock locations, receive rewards, gain influence and/or progress the story. As the Inquisitor, players deploy agents and troops of the Inquisition to complete various text-based operations through their primary advisers, which influences the rewards and time requirements of the effort undertaken.[12]
After closing several rifts, the player character begins to be referred to as the "Herald of Andraste". With the Chantry effectively leaderless, Leliana and Cassandra Pentaghast invoke one of the Divine's last orders to re-establish the Inquisition, an organization originally formed to defend against the dangers of magic and heretics. After closing the Breach with help from rebel mages or remnants of the Templar Order, Haven is attacked by a force led by Corypheus, an ancient Darkspawn mage, who was responsible for opening the Breach. Aided by a dragon, Corypheus overcomes Haven's defences and confronts the Herald. Corypheus refers to the mark as "the Anchor", which he means to use to physically enter the Fade, with the goal of attaining apotheosis for himself. He attempts to remove the Anchor with a magical orb-shaped elven artifact, but the Herald sets off an avalanche, burying Haven and decimating Corypheus's army. Solas leads the survivors to the abandoned fortress of Skyhold, which becomes the Inquisition's new base of operations. The Herald is appointed as the Inquisitor, leader of the Inquisition.
The Inquisitor also attends a ball at the Winter Palace in an attempt to resolve the ongoing Orlesian civil war and gain the assistance of Orlesian forces. Afterwards, the Empress' arcane advisor, Morrigan, joins the Inquisition as an Imperial liaison. She directs the Inquisitor to the Temple of Mythal to stop Corypheus from obtaining an Eluvian, an artifact which could enable him to enter the Fade. Inside the temple, either the Inquisitor or Morrigan gains the powers of the Well of Sorrows, a store of magical energies tied to the elven goddess Mythal. The party escapes Corypheus through the Eluvian, which shatters behind them. Mythal is later revealed to be Morrigan's mother, Flemeth; whoever drinks from the Well of Sorrows is the recipient of wisdom from previous servants of Mythal, but also binds them to her will. They discover that Corypheus' dragon is the key to stopping him, then confront Corypheus as he reopens the Breach and defeat him and his dragon, resealing the Breach permanently. In the process, the orb carried by Corypheus is irreversibly damaged. The Inquisition returns to Skyhold to celebrate their victory, while a dismayed Solas vanishes after recovering the device. An epilogue narrated by Morrigan details the outcomes of the Inquisitor's major decisions. 2ff7e9595c
