So, as promised, the first chapter of my Dragon Age: Origins novelization, with a City Elf character. The City Elf Origin was always my favourite of the bunch; I've always loved stories where the protagonist must rise from humble beginnings to greatness, and this particular Origin had that in spades. Add in a truly despicable villain in the form of Bann Vaughan and some really great supporting characters, and my choice for a protagonist became clear. <br /><br />As you've probably realized from this entry alone, the story is going to be pretty bloody; the actual game received an M-rating from the ESRB, so expect a fair amount of sex and violence in future installments. Some of the later chapters will also up the Nightmare Fuel quotient a bit (veterans of the franchise will know what I'm talking about). So, yeah, here be dragons (and elves who don't like having their female relatives abducted!)<br /><br />As always, any and all comments, suggestions and constructive criticism are always appreciated!<br /><br /><b>Next Chapter</b> - Elves At the Mercy of Man (<a href="http://fav.me/d5aczn1">fav.me/d5aczn1</a>)<br /><br />Preview image by <a target="_self" href="https://poly-m.deviantart.com/" ><img class="avatar" width="50" height="50" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/o/poly-m.gif?1" alt=":iconpoly-m:" title="poly-m" /></a>, reposted with her permission.
