Bioware is back with another episode of weekly podcast Dragon Age: Vows and Vengeance, continuing the story of Nadia and introducing listeners to The Veilguard companions. Episode 5: The Scales of Justice focuses on dragon hunter Taash, one such future companion.
In the first episode, the audience met Nadia, a retired thief unknowingly working for the Dread Wolf. Nadia and her lover, Elio, find themselves in the midst of something much greater than them – a threat to the entire world – until Elio is seemingly banished to the Fade. Enter: Drayden, a writer with an interesting connection to the Fade.
The previous episodes focused on the adventures of this unlikely pair, including their run-ins with Harding, Davrin and Bellara. This time, they also manage to be thrown in prison and land right in the center of a dragon attack – near simultaneously!
“After washing up on the shores of Par Vollen, Nadia and Drayden are tossed into a dark prison. With things looking grim, matters are only made worse when a dragon attacks the city, forcing a Qunari treasure hunter named Taash to step-up and battle the ferocious creature.”
