Evka Ivo

Evka Ivo is a Grey Warden, originally from Orzammar.

Background[]

Evka was born in Orzammar, presumably as a member of Noble House Ivo. While in the Deep Roads, she was rescued by Warden Lawrence after finding herself attacked by a blighted creature with two mouths. Lawrence was so insistent on being able to save just one more person that he attracted a Spirit of Perseverance to keep him fighting despite his fatal wounds. Evka ordered the spirit to release him, and to tell him that she'd save the next one for him.^[1]

Hunger
Evka has been a Grey Warden for three years. She was taking Antoine, an elf from Orlais newly recruited into the Wardens, to a quiet outpost when they received summons to Weisshaupt. On their way to the fortress, Evka and Antoine stumble on the supposedly cursed village of Eichweill in the Anderfels. The town has been suffering from a spate of disappearances. Mina Bauer, the sister of the latest victim, asks the Wardens for help. Antoine, who believes in the Order's heroism, accepts immediately.

The Wardens' investigation uncovers the truth: Renke, a noble's son who was ran out of town for poisoning a Chantry brother, starved in the woods and attracted a demon of Hunger. He turned into a werewolf and has been infecting villagers like Willem, Mina's brother, as payback. As killing the source of the curse is said to end it, Antoine and Evka hunt Renke down. Antoine is bitten before they kill the werewolf, but with the source of the curse dead, they continue on to Weisshaupt, believing Willem and Antoine cured, the village safe.

The demon has not been destroyed however, only banished, laying in wait for an opening from its victim.

Short Story: Won't Know When[]

After killing an ogre in a cave, Evka and Antoine reminisce about their previous close calls: killing several ogres to allow halla to return to their fields, stopping the spread of Blight sickness outside Kassel, fighting a demon in the Merdaine, and being bit by an unknown creature in Arlathan. Before more darkspawn arrive, Evka tells him to "ask her again." Turning his entire focus towards her, Antoine asks Evka to marry him. She says yes then kisses him.

Evka and Antoine are investigating the reports that a tall, dark figure has been abducting people from Marnas Pell into the Deep Roads, as well as the disappearance of the two Grey Wardens who were sent to investigate the matter ahead of them. While in the Deep Roads, Evka and Antoine meet Varric Tethras and Lace Harding, who have been searching for Solas and his secret hideout. The two pairs decide to join forces to accomplish their respective goals. Their search leads them to the corpses of Maesa and Shev, the two previous Grey Warden investigators, as well as the remains of the missing people. They are attacked by a pack of deepstalkers, then an ogre: the true culprit of the abductions. They defeat all the creatures, though Antoine is injured in the battle. While Evka tends to his wounds, Varric and Harding find Solas’ hideout, which point them in the direction of Vyrantium. They return to Evka and Antoine, who thank them and say that they owe the two dwarves their lives. As the group leaves the Deep Roads, Varric tells them that he'll settle for warm beds, hearty meals, and a stiff drink.
