The stories are presented as if they were written by various authors, each with their own distinct voice and perspective. This anthology-style approach allows readers to experience the diversity and richness of Tevinter's culture, with stories that reflect the city's decadence, intrigue, and complexity.
The anthology introduces several factions that will play major roles in the future of the franchise. You will meet the Mortalitasi of Nevarra, who command the dead with unsettling precision, and the Lords of Fortune, daring treasure hunters seeking relics in the most dangerous corners of the continent. Most importantly, the book provides the first real look at the Antivan Crows and the Shadow Dragons, groups that are central to the resistance against the rising threats in the north.
