Summary
Dragon Age: The Veilguardwill let you pick from six origins when creating your Rook, and after yesterday’s gameplay trailer, BioWare unveiled what they are. Asleaks from last year suggested, the Grey Wardens are back.
“An ancient order sworn to fight darkspawn and monsters,” the description opens. “Wardens undergo secret rites that grant them supernatural powers.” In Origins, weplay as one of the last Grey Wardens of Ferelden, fighting back against the Blight, but they’re far less prominent in Dragon Age 2 and by the time of Inquisition, have been corrupted by Corypheus.
There’s a nine-year gap between Inquisition and Dreadwolf, so what happened to the Grey Wardens in between games is unclear, but with them making up one of the six origins, fans will no doubt leap at the chance to find out.
