Venture with us into the world known as Amaranthine as we reveal more about BioWare’s upcoming expansion pack Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening.

Queen of the Blackmarsh

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.
