Summary
Dragon Age: The Veilguardis defined by the player’s companions - all ofBioWare’s marketing efforts thus far have been focused around the eponymous group of characters who are tasked with saving Thedas.
However, we still don’t know very much about the seven companions our protagonist Rook will be adventuring with on October 31, and BioWare is looking to address that.Vows & Vengeance is an upcoming eight-episode Dragon Age podcast, with each entry focusing on a member of the Veilguard.
The podcast will be in the style of an audio drama, with each character’s voice actor returning to reprise their respective roles. The story will feature three original characters: Nadia (Mae Whitman), Brigette Lundy-Paine (Drayden) and Elio (Armen Taylor). The rest of the schedule is as follows:
Episode 1: Nadia, Elio, and Drayden
Episode 8: Neve
Meet The Veilguard
A description is provided involving the three aforementioned characters, “Nadia, a retired cat burglar, is lured back into action for the thrill of one last score. Unknowingly employed by the Dread Wolf, Nadia tracks down a powerful ancient artifact and both she and her lover, Elio, find themselves caught in a web of lies that threaten the entire world. When Elio is seemingly banished to the Fade - a mystical magical plane - Nadia desperately searches for answers on a rescue mission across Thedas.”
A few of the Veilguard have appeared in other Dragon Age media, but we’re going to be learning a lot more about them during Vows and Vengeance, which appears to be one cohesive story. If one story features every relevant character, it’s probably more than mere coincidence, and will likely act as a precursor to The Veilguard’s narrative.
