THE LORE: While many of the senior Grey Wardens are already away from Vigil's Keep on their regular patrols across the country side, the most experienced of these elite warriors are on a very important mission: tracking down the Archdemon before it can raise the Blight. Now that they're prepared, it's up to the Wardens and the crown of Ferelden to take the initiative in this war. Queen Anora, working in tandem with the Wardens, has made contact with leaders of other nations, such as Empress Celene of Orlais, and has requested military aid; Alistair has done the same in attempting to support from other branches of the order to come. Meanwhile, he has issued several important (but perhaps less ambitious than taking on an Archdemon) missions for his newest batch of Wardens and their companions to carry out.

OOC EXPLANATION: Though we tried to accommodate as many requests as possible, these groups have been carefully balanced by class, race, function, potential drama/character development, challenge to writers/characters, and IC logic. All future companions added to the game after this post will have to find their own way to join a group. There are four Grey Wardens in each; Companions are those who left with them from Vigil's Keep, and Meeting indicates those who will be encountered on the way. If no specific requests were made for those in the latter category, we have assigned you a group/location. We would prefer not to since we put a lot of thought into this, be we can be persuaded to change some things if there's a good enough reason. But if it's just because you aren't with the people you wanted now, we promise you will get your chance to interact with them eventually!

We will be posting up a plotting thread for each group in weisshaupt to discuss things with one another, and for us to keep you updated on plot-related details/prompts. We have some very specific events in mind to make things exciting, but we are always open to incorporating new ideas. Most importantly, it would be good for those in the MEETING categories to work out how they wish to be encountered by the group. Locations in bold on the travel route are important stopping places; it is likely that you will want to spend some time threading there before moving on to the quest destinations. As always, we strongly encourage communication between players, and with us. If you have any questions, just ask!
