    Summary

    Rook has failed, and everything is in ruins. Everyone is dead, and she stands amid the destruction, knowing that nothing can be done or undone.

    Against all odds, she used to say, no matter what, she used to believe, never look back, she would repeat to herself. None of that mattered or made sense now when the future was crushed.

    Just as she accepted her fate and was ready to surrender her life, her path was changed. Mythal intervened, casting her millennia into the past — to the gleaming gates of Ancient Arlathan. Changing the will of gods is a heavy burden to bear, but Rook is haunted by the dying words of those who fell for her, and she knows she must not stop. Cannot stop.

    But is duty all that matters? Is duty above love, or desire? Or is duty merely the veil that covers the pursuit of the deepest, darkest of desires? Will her heart stay untouched and hardened, while her duty is to unlock the heart of another?

     

     

    Rook, whose original name is Idunn, is my original D&D character, and the story will blend Dragon Age and D&D lore. The blend is subtle and well-explained, and you will not need prior D&D knowledge.
