Dragon Age: The Veilguard

2025 BAFTA Nomination for Best Narrative

Unite the Veilguard and defy the gods.

Enter the world of Thedas, a vibrant land of rugged wilderness, treacherous labyrinths, and glittering cities – steeped in conflict and secret magics. Now, a pair of corrupt ancient gods have broken free from centuries of darkness and are hellbent on destroying the world.

Thedas needs someone they can count on. Rise as Rook, Dragon Age’s newest hero. Be who you want to be and play how you want to play as you fight to stop the gods from blighting the world. But you can’t do this alone – the odds are stacked against you. Lead a team of seven companions, each with their own rich story to discover and shape, and together you will become The Veilguard.

I was the primary writer for companion character Neve Gallus and major side characters Evka and Antoine. I also wrote Grey Warden side content, exploration content, codices, and ambient dialogue.

Want to solve another mystery with Neve Gallus? She first appears in “The Streets of Minrathous” in the short story anthology Tevinter Nights.

For more Grey Warden adventures with Evka and Antoine, check out “Hunger” in Tevinter Nights, “The Next One,” and “Won’t Know When.”
