Revision as of 12:38, 2 January 2015
“You're back? But it takes a minimum of two weeks and four days to make the journey to the Circle Tower and back.”
Dagna (born 9:11 Dragon) is a female dwarf living in Orzammar and a member of the smith caste.
Background
Dagna is something of a misfit amongst her family and to dwarven society as a whole. In spite of being a smith caste dwarf she feels no interest in smithing and chafes at the restrictions of her life, feeling misunderstood by her family.[1] Instead, she wishes to travel to the Circle of Magi to study magic, a peculiar desire for a dwarf as they are incapable of using magic.
She is the daughter of Janar the armorer and can initially be encountered to the west of Orzammar Commons, just outside Garin's stall.
Involvement
Dragon Age: Origins
Dagna offers the quest An Unlikely Scholar.
She wishes the Warden to travel to the Circle of Magi and speak to the First Enchanter, so she may study there. Dagna is intrigued by the theory of magic, even though she knows that, as a dwarf, she will never be able to practice magic as a mage can.
Her father does not support her leaving, as to do so would mean losing her place in the smith caste, becoming part of the surface dwarves.
If the Warden refuses to help her, the quest will end. However, it is possible to change this decision later on going to see the First Enchanter. Mentioning Dagna's desire to join the Circle will still be an option, and if chosen, the quest will become available again, but after exiting the dialogue, it will automatically be completed. Despite this, you can still deliver the news to Dagna and, though the Codex will still say that you refused to help Dagna, she will still be mentioned in the epilogue, as if you had never refused her in the first place.
If the Warden succeeds in gaining her a place at the Tower, the Epilogue will state that she writes "a comprehensive theory of how lyrium vapors relate to the supply of magic". If the Circle has not been granted independence, "This inspired mages from other parts of Thedas to establish a new Circle of Magi in Orzammar itself, one that had ready access to dwarven lyrium... and lies outside the Chantry's power completely. The willingness of Orzammar to harbor apostates sparked outrage that began whispers that the Divine was contemplating a new Exalted March."
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Dagna in Dragon Age: Inquisition
Regardless of whether the Warden helped her get into the circle or not, Dagna later takes up a position serving as an arcanist for the Inquisition at Skyhold.
Early in the game, the Herald of Andraste will receive news of Dagna intending to offer her services to the Inquisition. The player can choose to meet up with the dwarven Arcanist and eventually receive access to new items and upgrades as well as special crafting options.
Approval
- After agreeing to tell the Circle of Dagna's request: Leliana
(+1), Wynne 
(+2) - Morrigan will speak if she is in your party, but no approval change will occur (tested at 90+ approval).
Trivia
- Dagna is not the first dwarf allowed into the Circle of Magi. Other known dwarves are Minderel, and Ureldin "during the 13th century."[2]
- If the Warden tells Dagna's father of her plans and then speaks to her again, she reveals she is 19 years old.
- In the earliest builds of Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dagna was an Artificer.
Bugs
- It's possible to encounter Dagna in the apprentice quarters of the Circle Tower after just having convinced First Enchanter Irving to accept her as a student, if you leave the first level of the Circle Tower and then return. In dialogue, she will speak as if you had returned to Orzammar to complete the quest (i.e. you tell her that she has been accepted and she says she will leave for the tower). Then, if you return to Orzammar, she will be standing in the Orzammar Commons. Her dialogue will be the same as if you visited her in the Circle Tower after she becomes a student (i.e. she will tell you how amazing the tower is).
References
- ↑ If denied in her quest Dagna will claim that her family wants her to be just like them and they will never understand her desires.
- ↑ According to Dagna during An Unlikely Scholar, if the player chooses to help her. Note that this date does not conform to the Chantry or Imperial calendars.
