From the Makers of the Best RPG of 2009, Dragon Age: Origins, comes the first official expansion pack. For centuries, the Grey Wardens—the ancient order of guardians, sworn to unite and defend the lands—have been battling the darkspawn forces. Legend spoke that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but somehow they remain. You are the Grey Warden Commander and have been entrusted with the duty of rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens and uncovering the secrets of the darkspawn and how they managed to remain. How you choose to rebuild your order, how you resolve the conflict with “The Architect”, and how you determine the fate of the darkspawn will be but some of the many complex choices that await and shape your journey as you venture to the new land of Amaranthine.
A generation ago, a dragon settled in the Blackmarsh. The local villagers, fearful of what she might do to their homes, hunted her in vain, losing many lives and gaining nothing. The men and women of the Blackmarsh had almost given up hope when the Orlesian baroness who had been sent to rule them interceded. Some whispered that the mysterious woman was a witch, but witch or no, she drove the beast away and saved her people. Most believed that the dragon had been killed and pointed to the bones scattered about the marsh as evidence. Others were not so sure, for they had seen the beast in fever dreams, soaring on great wings, a terrible storm in her wake. Those skeptics said that the dragon was not destroyed, merely trapped. But some things in this world are not meant to be tampered with, and they are left well alone...
