Rating: Mature Summary: Six months following the end of the Fifth Blight, Warden-Commander Haljra Tabris is tasked with a new mission — to rid the land of darkspawn. After being summoned by His Majesty to Amaranthine, Haljra embarked on a new adventure; yet, Haljra did not expect to meet a new foe: Nathaniel Howe. As time passed, Haljra realized Nathaniel was never truly her enemy. And in the aftermath of heartbreak and in the midst of battle, Haljra found herself falling for the disgraced noble.

What if the Shadow Dragons had an origin story before Veilguard's main plot?

Rating: Teen and Up Summary: Ashur kept pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing at the three bags on the table as if their seal would change if he only looked closely enough. Or perhaps the document next to them would transform into something innocuous. He hadn’t wanted to believe it. Not when Tarpeia and Marisa had told him about the clandestine meetings between Tarquin and a templar they knew reported to the Venatori. Not when a search of Tarquin’s flat had produced the coin bags bearing a Venatori Vecellinus magister’s seal. Not when they had unearthed a document promising Tarquin a substantial promotion or when Dorian had brought back news from Ventus that Tarquin’s family had had some good luck recently – a promotion, a dispute settled in their favour, an advantageous marriage proposal, debts that had been settled. All the evidence against him and Ashur hadn’t wanted to believe it. Not until he had seen Tarquin hand over documents himself. A message encoded in the lineage papers that were Tarquin’s bread and butter down at the archives. Tarpeia had even said it was genius as she had decoded it.

Rating: Teen and Up Summary: Loyalty is a form of love and leads as easily to ruination. Felassan didn't know how to save Solas from his fate — much less save himself.
