DRAGON AGE: BLESSED ARE THEY
"Blessed are they who stand before
The corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.
Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just."
- Benedictions 4:10

The sky was torn asunder, and with it, the barriers between this world and the Fade, the metaphysical realm that is home to demons and spirits alike. Demons rain from the sky, through the holes in reality that have been formed in the wake of the devastation caused by the destruction of the Divine Conclave. The Chantry, the world's supreme religious authority for centuries, was left leaderless and in turmoil, and the war between Mages and Templars waged on. In response to this turmoil, the controversial decision was made by the hands of the late Divine to reform an ancient order, the Inquisition, seeking to combat the threats set to bring devastation to all of Thedas.
Through the efforts of the individual many have taken to calling The Herald of Andraste, the Breach in the skywas sealed, but the Inquisition's work proved to be far from done - many demons still lingered and, worse, the creator of the Breach revealed himself, an ancient, hated darkspawn titling himself The Elder One. The Inquisition was dealt a heavy blow, but managed to rally at the ancient fortress known as Skyhold. Now officially led by the Herald of Andraste, granted the title of Inquisitor, the Inquisition sends out its many soldiers and agents in an effort to put a stop to this ancient evil once and for all...

Co-ops: None, yet
It's been ages since this board has seen a Dragon Age RP, but they always seemed to do well (and I think I promised one or two people I'd totally make one again in the future, a few years ago now...) - so here we are! This particular roleplay will roughly follow along the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition (ie, the last installment of the series so far), albeit from a rather different perspective; namely that of a group of characters in service to said Inquisition (rather than its leaders, as in the game!) as they go about their missions across the world. The intention is, essentially, to form a typical Dungeons & Dragons-y experience within Thedas, where the RP follows a group of 'adventurers' as they go about their business - for the newly formed Inquisition, in this case.
Some basic knowledge of the Dragon Age setting is definitely recommended, but I (and others) will definitely be more than willing to help people with less knowledge on the setting out! Relevant information will be posted in a post below as well. This thread will be used for planning, OOC-chatter, and discussion related to the roleplay itself. Thread activity is good, so feel free to discuss whatever (within the NS rules, that is) if you're participating!

Rules are an unfortunate necessity, so here they are - these'll be 'enforced' if required by yours truly as well as whoever I may assign as co-ops. Breaking the rules may result in a warning/warnings or being kicked/banned from the Roleplay itself in case of severe rule-breaking or multiple "infractions".
Other than that, there are also a few rules you should keep in mind when creating your character(s):
- Follow the website's rules. This is simple. They go for the entire website - which includes the thread(s) for this RP!
- Please follow standard roleplay etiquette. Don't godmod, metagame, powergame, and so forth. Please familiarize yourself with these terms and make sure you're not doing any of them!
- Don't plagiarize. It really shouldn't be said, but - write your own posts, don't take someone else's writing and change it up a little. It shouldn't have to be said, but alas.
- When writing, do your best to use correct English grammar and spelling. Mistakes happen - many of us aren't native English speakers, after all, and even then! - but do your best to make them as few and as little as possible. It makes posts more enjoyable to read for everyone!
- Your posts should preferably be at least two paragraphs long.
Other than that, there are also a few rules you should keep in mind when creating your character(s):
- Player characters shouldn't be related to any important canon characters - minor ones are accepted, but there's more than enough people around so that you don't have to be related to everyone in town. Neat!
- Player characters should only be of the playable races in the games (although from other cultures is fine!) and should fit in with the overall theme/setting of the RP. A Red Templar or something of the likes wouldn't, for example.
- Player characters generally shouldn't start out with 'overpowered' equipment.
