Sometime between Dragon 9:31 and 9:34 in Kirkwall Tallis, demoted to the role of a worker, an Athlok, is given opportunity to redeem herself, and thus regain her former title and rejoin the ranks of Ben-Hassrath. She is tasked by her Qunari superiors to apprehend a rogue Saarebas, who was captured and imprisoned in a secret Chantry prison by the templars, but managed to break out of captivity. The Saarebas embarks on a rampage to perform a dark ritual, wreaking havoc along the way. In her quest to find this dangerous mage, Tallis is joined by a templar named Cairn, who is also tracking the mage; a Dalish First to his clan, Josmael; and Nyree, a reaver mercenary from Nevarra.
