“When I was trapped in the Vimmark Mountains, I ate lots of mushrooms!”
Luka is a player-controlled protagonist in Dragon Age: Inquisition's multiplayer.
Background[]
Luka remembers the prison in the Vimmark Mountains; she was nobody, clearing out tunnels for the Carta, not important enough to know the truth about why they were there. She watched as the Carta descended into madness, never learning who was pulling the strings. When Hawke destroyed the prison, she was trapped, alone and forgotten. It took years, but she got out, using salvaged treasures to blast her own exit out to freedom. Then the Inquisition came calling, for they too remembered the prison, and what was kept there.
Involvement[]
Though Luka can be seen near the stables in Skyhold, sitting by a tree, she can't be spoken to.
