DA2 TTRPG Campaign Diary - Session 1 - Meet the Player Characters

 Our first session involved final character creation, going over house rules, and general session 0 discussions.

We had enough time to do some individual PC background roleplay. So I'll introduce our heroes:

  • Deorum -- A blood mage and the son of a Tevinter Magister who is forced to flee his home when assassins set upon his family. With nowhere else to turn, Deorum heads for Kirkwall where he believes distant relatives of a Noble House will take him in.
  • Fenlin -- A female rogue "Fenris" character. Slave to Danarius, Fenlin was hand-picked as a small child after a series of rigorous tests to act as Danarius's bodyguard. She has been a slave her whole life and does not remember her family. After enduring the painful ritual that imbued her skin with Lyrium and losing control of her new power that resulted in the death of innocents, Fenlin flees to Kirkwall where she hopes to blend in with the refuges.
  • Dardin'an -- A Dalish Scout of the Sabrae clan who is in love with Merrill. He is a bit of an outcast among the clan as he choose to learn Dwarven techniques after the clan tended to a dying member of the Legion of the Dead who made their way to the surface in their final moments. He follows Merrill as she leaves the clan for Kirkwall.
  • Revas -- A Grey Warden elf from Halamshiral who is sent with his Commander into Ferelden as a tiny contingent to figure out what is going on at Ostagar. The pair are stopped by bandits at Lothering, and by freak accident, Revas's Commander is killed. Revas himself is left for a dead, and a group of fleeing elves rescue him and take him on the last passenger ship to Kirkwall.
  • Fisher -- A tal-vashoth who arrived in Kirkwall years ago and has become captain of his own fishing vessel. Fisher has a reputation of high turnover amongst his crew for his strict ways. After his last crew attempted mutiny (and paid the price), Fisher is looking yet again for a new crew, and he thinks there might be better choices among the refugees than his usual dealings with the citizens of Kirkwall.

10 Homebrewed Noble Houses of Kirkwall (sourced from Ptolus RPG)

 Adapted from Ptolus: City By the Spire. Note that a lot of the names in Ptolus are middle eastern in nature, so I changed some to more fit the culture of Kirkwall. Other names I kept just because I liked them. ALBRECHT – A mercantile family that firmly believes wealth is power. They are not well regarded and serve as examples of the saying that wealth breeds contempt." Dered Albrecht is the very old head of house that many are simply waiting to die, though he has yet to name a heir. (I have decided he is bitter about his failing body and funded Quintin 's research in the hopes of restoring life to his old limps.) As the PCs rise to wealthy status (after Bartrand's Expedition), Dered may at first try to incorporate them into his Household. He would also offer investment opportunities to expand both the PC’s wealth and his. He would certainly take an interest in how their wealth. He would definitely back the Delver’s Guild (which does not yet exist), and might even be the o...

DA2 TTRPG Campaign Diary - Session 5 - A sealed Basement

Last we left off, the party had discovered red lyrium beneath a locksmith's shop. Deorum convinced the group that as a mage he was the most knowledgeable of lyrium and should be responsible with handling it. While everyone else traveled back to the Mason's guild to let them know of a job well done, Revas stayed behind to burn the rat bodies and help the family clean up their home from rat feces.  While the party had told the family there had simply been many rats and that they had cleared them all out, Revas presented the family with three yellow flowers he had gathered while traveling in Ferelden. He explained the risk of Blight and the importance of making the flowers into a tea, and Vhez accepted them with much gratitude. Since it was late in the evening, the mason's guild promised to appear at the house the next morning, and the party retired for the night. Fenlin didn't trust the red lyrium and stayed up through the night outside of Deorum's door in case of tro...
