Quieter moments allow for some dramatic character interaction that adds depth to Jeffrey Scott's story. When they're framed for murder and treason, Cassandra and Galyan find themselves battling both Templars and Blood Mages in a series of visually stunning battle setpieces, some of which involve monstrous trolls and golems.
Her interplay with the kindhearted Galyan and their eventual friendship are nicely handled. Cassandra, of course, is a knockout-what fictional warrior woman isn't?-and a fierce fighter, but it's fun watching her discover how much she still has to learn about politics, combat, and human relationships. It's up to apprentice seeker Cassandra and Circle Mage member Galyan to find out the truth behind all this and expose the conspiracy of corrupt insiders, but Cassandra's utter hatred of all Mages complicates their accidental partnership. When Blood Mage leader Frenic kidnaps a young Mage girl named Avexis who can control animals, it's part of a plot to use dragons to attack the Ten Year Gathering when all members of the Chantry will be in one place. Those who still practice magic, the Mages, are split into two groups-Circle Mage, who are loyal to the Chantry, and Blood Mage, the rebellious evildoers who abuse their magical powers. A force of knights called the Templars keep order, but it's the stalwart Seekers who guard against corruption in the ranks of the citizenry, military, and ruling elite.
In the land of Orlais, the Divine One rules along with her priestesses known as The Chantry. The result is a dark, mystical adventure filled with magic, dragons, knights, and other fun elements along with a story and characters that are both exciting and involving.Ī prologue brings us newbies up to speed pretty quick. When Funimation came calling with a proposal to do the videogame "Dragon Age" as an anime, Bioware creative director Mike Laidlaw was rightfully enthusiastic about the idea. From director Fumihiko Sori ( TO, VEXILLE) comes the CGI/anime epic DRAGON AGE: DAWN OF THE SEEKER, a USA-Japan collaboration which takes Sori's familiar visual style from the hard sci-fi of TO into the realm of sword and sorcery.
