“Another grand scheme come to nothing.”


The Marquis of Serault is the player-controlled protagonist of Dragon Age: The Last Court. The player chooses either The Huntress (female) or The Scholar (male), each with different skills and abilities. The Marquis must navigate an important visit to the region from a notable person as well as maintain the safety, wealth and respect of the region during numerous difficulties and encounters during that time. The Marquis is in their thirties.[1]

Background[]

“Payment in Glass” ― Traditional Family Motto of the House of Glass

The Marquis is the young scion of the de Serault family, nicknamed the House of Glass, and, having succeeded their mother, is the present ruler of the Marquisate of Serault. Serault is a domain located in the far west of Orlais. It is a realm of deep forests, stubborn people, and customs that border on heresy. The citizens of the region are largely craftsmen and the pride of the marquisate is its famed glasswork.

The Marquis' great grandfather, also a former Marquis of Serault, was an apostate mage, who later became an abomination. He is described as brilliant, murderous, generous, romantic, and ruthless, but eventually he brought shame to the marquisate. His name is now forgotten; he is known now only as the Shame of Serault. The family was even stripped of their ancestral mask, the symbol of nobility in Orlais, by one of the Divines. It has been held in trust by the Chantry for over a century.[2] This history continues to haunt the region and the Shame's family.

Now the current Marquis of Serault sets out to regain Serault's lost stature, by whatever means required.
