Reignite – Details, episodes & analysis

Kirkwall runs on rumors, and our buddy Varric is the sieve through which they filter down into actionable information. According to Varric, a chantry sister is roaming low town at night looking for help with a special task. The sister in question, Sister Petrice, can be found making a poor decision to follow some unsavory characters into an alleyway. After Hawke’s intervention, Petrice offers us a job that is suited for someone who can move about the dark places of Kirkwall freely. Once we visit her safe house, we learn that she is in possession of a qunari mage, a saarebas, who was separated from his handler and Petrice wishes for us to bring him to freedom–whether he wants it or not. After a skirmish in Lowtown where Saarebas shows his teeth, Hawke emerges above ground to find a nasty surprise waiting for them. Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our amazing logo as well as to Miracle of Sound for the song Age Of The Dragon, which we use as our theme music.

While your hosts are strong advocates for mage rights, it’s hard to ignore a woman worried about her brother–especially if she’s destitute without him. Macha informs us that her brother, a templar recruit has gone missing and Knight Commander Meredith is keeping the situation hushed up. A visit to the Gallows reveals that Keran isn’t the only missing recruit–but one of them has returned, only to be followed out to the Wounded Coast by Knight Captain Cullen. Cullen exposes the recruit and then hands over the investigation to us since we can move freely throughout the city of Kirkwall.

With Hawke’s sibling, we break into the Amell estate and clean out the slavers that purchased it from Gamlen all those years ago. Once they’re gone, Hawke has the opportunity to explore, pick up a gift, and then return to Leandra with news of what the will really said. We also catch up on the latest Dragon Age: The Veilguard news!
