Shards is a collection in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
The Tevinter Oculara reveal mysterious shards scattered across the Imperium's former colonies. The purpose of these shards may prove important—or, at the very least, profitable.
Acquisition[]
The collection triggers independently upon interacting with any of the oculara in each area visited.
