Description

Dragon Age: Inquisition - Here Lies The Abyss... Varric mentions he has a friend that may be able to aid the Inquisition against Corypheus. The Inquisitor meets Varric on top of Skyhold's battlements. Varric's friend is Hawke, the former Champion of Kirkwall. Hawke informs the Inquisitor of having an ally among the Grey Wardens that has more information on the nature of Corypheus and his plans. The Warden ally is currently in hiding, in Crestwood, and the Inquisitor should travel to meet him.

Hawke has a Warden contact who may be able to say more. Outside of the village of Crestwood, near Three Trout Farm Camp, in a smuggler's den once held by The Blind Men, the Inquisitor will meet Hawke's Warden ally... Ser Jean-Marc Stroud, a senior Orlesian Grey Warden

In the Western Approach, the Inquisitor travels to the ancient Ritual Tower, and meet Hawke and the Warden ally there. The party enters the Watchtower, and find a group of Wardens lead by Livius Erimond, a Venatori magister. It is revealed that Erimond is working for Corypheus, and has manipulated the Grey Wardens into willingly performing the ritual. This would transform the Wardens into a demon army capable of entering the Deep Roads, fighting the Darkspawn, and eventually kill the Old Gods as they sleep, thus preventing any future Blight. However, the ritual has another side effect: enslaving the demon-bound Wardens to Corypheus. Erimond reveals the nature of the Inquisitor's mark (the Anchor), as a means to safely cross the Veil. Erimond attempts to subdue the Inquisitor, but is thwarted by the Anchor.

At the War table in Skyhold, the Inquisition plans the step in this quest. The Inquisition forces will attack and lay siege to the Adamant Fortress attempting to use choke points to their advantage, holding back the demon army while the Inquisitor may reach Clarel. Upon entering Adamant the Inquisitor is faced with a massive battle. The Inquisition's forces assault the fortress and batter their way inside. The Inquisitor and their companions enter the fray.

In the main courtyard Erimond is revealed at last, presiding over Clarel's sacrifice to bind a demon to her. A Grey Warden is sacrifice to summon a domon. The ritual is interrupted by the Inquisitor, who tries to explain how the Wardens are being enslaved to Corypheus. Blackwall speaks to the Wardens pleading his case. The Inquisition claims and especially the mention of Corypheus seem to move Clarel, who starts doubting Erimond. The Venatori Magister finally calls forth Corypheus's dragon to attack the Inquisitor. At this point, Clarel understands Erimond's deception. She orders the Wardens in the yard to help the Inquisitor and pursue the fleeing Erimond.

Clarel and Erimond are engaged in a duel. Clarel nearly succeeds in slaying Erimond before the dragon attacks, mauling her. Near death, she enacts one last attack to destroy both herself and the dragon. The force of her spell shatters the walkway and all plummet. The Inquisitor and party are saved as the Inquisitor opens a rift and all fall through. The Inquisitor, her party, the Warden ally, and Hawke are trapped physically in the RAW Fade, and must now escape.

The party climbs the stairs in the Raw Fade, and encounters what appears to be the spirit of Divine Justinia V. It is unclear if the vision is the Divine or a spirit, but the entity knows the truth of the events at the Temple of Sacred Ashes. The Inquisitor is told to capture her memories that werestolen by the Nightmare, the general of Corypheus's demon army, a creature that feeds on terrors. The Nightmare was in fact the origin of the false Calling the Grey Wardens experienced. Slaying demons help to restore the Inquisitor's memories.

The rift ahead leads back to the real world but it is blocked by the massive spider-like form of Nightmare. The Divine spirit sacrifices herself to subdue the demon, asking the Inquisitor to give a farewell message to Leliana before doing so. With the demon temporarily indisposed the Inquisitor faces the Aspect of the Nightmare left behind, a Fear demon, and its Fearlings. The Aspect uses barriers to protect itself. When the demon is defeated the spider demon reappears, blocking the party's escape. A pivotal decision has to be made. Hawke will demand to remain behind to fight the creature as he feels Corypheus is their responsibility and the Warden ally must remain to restore the Grey Warden order.

Upon returning to the fortress from the Fade, the Inquisitor closes the Fade rift that was opened and destroys the remaining demons ... as well as Erimond's hope at creating a demon army. Erimond is taken alive for judgment. Then the Inquisitor reveals that one of the companions sacrificed themselves to save the rest. The Inquisitor makes a decision on the fate of the Wardens in Orlais: whether to exile them from Orlais due to their potential for corruption, or to allow them to remain and fight for the Inquisition.
