Chapter One: The Deep Roads
Chapter one is set in the dwarven city of Orzammar and the darkspawn infested Deep Roads.
Story
The protagonist of the game Journeys starts in the Deep Roads, being there for different reasons according to his/her race and background.
The Glowing Emissary
Whatever the reasons though, the protagonist's party is quickly attacked by a glowing Hurlock emissary, an Ogre and some darkspawn. The others in the party die but the protagonist manages to flee and barely alive, arrives back at Orzammar.
After being healed by a Spirit healer named Ardum, the protagonist ventures back to the Deep roads, searching for a Warden named Martine.
The three have to gain the approval of some citizens of Orzammar so as to speak with the King and inform him of the new threat. During the quests, a new member may enter the party, Ryanth the bard.
In the end, during a quest given by the crime lord Saria, one to find what happened with her diamond smugglers, the party encounters the glowing Emissary in a nearby diamond mine. The emissary placed plenty of digging darkspawn for some unknown reason.
