The Tavern Brawl That Started It All
I didn’t plan on starting a fight. But when a drunk mercenary shoved Rook into a table, sending tankards flying, I knew there was no walking away. The Hanged Man—or whatever this dive was called—erupted into chaos. Wood splintered under fists, ale soaked the floor, and Neve was already flipping over the bar, daggers drawn.
I ducked a wild swing, driving my elbow into a stranger’s ribs. Rook laughed as he hurled a chair into the crowd, his shield still strapped to his back—no need for it yet. The barman shouted, but no one cared. This wasn’t just a bar fight. It was a message: Dragon Age: The Veilguard is tough but... We’re not easy prey.
By the time the city guard stormed in, we were already slipping out the back, bruised but grinning. The night was young, and trouble always found us anyway.
The Deep Roads: Where the Dark Answers Back
Three days later, we were knee-deep in darkspawn filth, regretting every life choice that led us here. The Deep Roads weren’t just tunnels—they were a grave. The air clung thick with rot, and the walls… moved. Or maybe that was the shadows playing tricks.
Rook’s torch flickered as something scuttled ahead. Neve held up a hand. Silence. Then—hissing. Not rats. Genlocks.
The first one lunged from the dark, and suddenly we were fighting for our lives. Steel clashed, Rook’s shield ringing against claws, Neve darting like a ghost between strikes. I called fire to my hands, the flare revealing dozens of glowing eyes in the dark.
We ran. Not out of fear—out of sense. Some battles of Dragon Age: The Veilguard weren’t worth dying for.
The Titan’s Wrath: When the Ground Fights Back
We thought the worst was behind us. Then the earth shook.
Stone shattered as the Titan woke, lyrium veins pulsing like a heartbeat. It wasn’t just big—it was rage given form. One wrong step, and the ground split open beneath us.
Neve cursed, barely dodging a falling boulder. Rook braced, shield raised like it could stop a mountain. I reached for the Fade, raw magic burning through me. If we didn’t bring this thing down, the entire valley would be rubble.
Somehow, we survived. Barely.
The Aftermath: Ale, Scars, and Stories
Back at camp, Rook retold the fight, growing taller with each retelling. Neve smirked, sharpening her blades, while I nursed a bottle of whatever passed for wine here.
The fire crackled. The stars burned. And for once, the world let us breathe.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard isn’t just about saving the world. It’s about nights like these—where you fight, bleed, and live to tell the tale.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
