Summary
Every good tale needs a champion.
Sometimes they’re an armoured hero upon a glorious steed, fated for that life.
Sometimes they’re a nobody born in the lowest rings of a bustling metropolis, wanting to do better for their community.
Sometimes they’re a refugee just trying to provide for themself and their family, and getting sucked into the wild machinations of a corrupted city in the bid to survive.
And sometimes, they’re a kid born with generational bad luck and a knack for getting into trouble.

A mother declared dead in the aftermath of the Siege of Adamant Fortress, a father notorious and renowned across Thedas as a Mage-Killer, and an 'uncle' with a propensity toward exaggerations and storytelling, Ivy "Rook" Hawke has been surrounded by fantastical tales of heroes and villains, victory and tragedy, champions and adversaries.

Summary
Melvhis is a living relic. Found in a sanctum in the Pale, forgotten by the world, she is the only Snow Elf known to be alive, aside from those of the Betrayed within the Dwemer ruins. Awakened in a new time, almost an entirely new world, she is thrust into the midst of a civil war and a threat far greater than she could have ever imagined in the return of the dragons. The fate of her people’s persecutors lay in her hands.
