Ancient Shadows

Purely by chance a group of travellers from all across the continent of Thedas one day meets in the small desert town of Schwarzstein. Most of them don't know each other and haven't met before, and yet it seems their fates might be entwined on a journey through a nation torn by war and corruption. All of them initially follow their own goals: gaining riches, finding lost friends and family members, or building a new life altogether - and they all carry secrets that are no easily shared with strangers.

Protagonists

Auron - a young half-elf mage dressed in really weird clothing; he is lovable and sweet, yet seems a bit not from this world
Claudia Verinus - a young Tevinter woman with a slightly mysterious and serious attitude; where she comes from and what she's up to remains her secret
Harold - a veteran soldier from a remote village in the Anderfels; he is on a journey to meet his daughter
Jeska Sturhald - a middle-aged dwarf from Kal-Sharok who apparently is something like an inventor; she still has so much to learn and discover about life on the surface though
Junius Marten - a young Tevinter mage on a business trip that also doubles as his vacation; his employer clearly doesn't care about anything related to employee's rights
Magnbjorn "Maxfield" Sea-Heart - an imposing Avvar warrior and sailor, currently working all sorts of jobs to earn some money; Mira's travel companion and lover
Mira - a free elf, which is a rare sight, and sailor; just like Maxfield, her travel companion and lover, she currently just wants to earn money, then return to their ship
