Later this month Bioware will release the second volume of World of Thedas, the two-part sourcebook that delves deeper into the setting of its flagship fantasy series, Dragon Age.
To gear super-fans up for that 311-page lore-dump, the studio has commissioned two stories from its writer Joanna Berry, starring two characters she herself created; Samson and Calpernia.
The twosome are servants of Corypheus, the major bad guy of Dragon Age: Inquisition (and someone who talks a big game, but doesn’t have the fruits to back it up if you ask me. When I finally took him on, he rolled over like a big dumb dog and lets me tickle his belly with a greatsword).
Story number one stars red lyrium addict Samson, a character you may or may not have met in Inquisition. Personally, I had no idea who he was. Berry’s second story will star secondary villain Calpurnia, and should be posted at some point in the next week or so.
