My character is also a wanderer so Orlais is fine.
All of my GW so far have a streak for wandering...

Note: Considering the depth and strength of the binding involved with making the "Oath bound", it's fair to assume that it takes more than a few drops of blood. I'd say that for every mage taken, you would at least one other kidnapping of a non-mage, in order to provide enough power for the binding. MAking it very similar to what the Grey Wardens were doing with their mages in DAI. I thought that was kept hush hush if the GW weren't exiled, but the game doesn't confirm one way or another on that matter.

I thought that was kept hush hush if the GW weren't exiled, but the game doesn't confirm one way or another on that matter. It was likely kept secret. Like them or not, wardens are the only ones capable of killing an Archdemon and the only ones capable of sensing darkspawn. You can't afford to denounce them. There are still two (?) more blights. I believe so. And those Archdemons are very close to one another... I think.

Ok, looks like we'll be in Orlais. Anyone know of any good town we could use that has a chantry? And is maybe close to one of the circles/colleges? Seems like one of the new colleges would be a fantastic place to kidnap or recruit mages who are anxious about being free. Leliana's agent could be...let's call her, Sister Nenet? She knows about the mage disappearances and wants them investigated, but was unaware of travelers disappearing from the countryside as well. Just trying to get details ironed out. Keep posting as you think of things, and I will as well
You guys. The title could be, "Bloodthirsty Dominion" There. Now that I've got an awful idea out of the way, you guys can feel more confident about posting your title ideas. You're welcome.

I'm good with either, but Orlais might be funnerer (for me).

Twisted Oaths sounds great. Have you guys decided on a location already? Btw, if anyone is interested my character entry contains what I hope is a cool backstory. Orlais, but we still need a town. I don't like Orlais and don't know much about it outside of what the games force on me. If no one knows of a good town to use, then I'll look at a map tonight and make up a village to use somewhere.

Here are a few places that seem like a good place for everyone to meet (descriptions from the wiki): Lac d'Argent - Village on the path from Halamshiral to Jader, Empress Celene passed there briefly during her escape from Gaspard's armiesSince it is a small village between two larger cities, it would probably get a lot of traffic (more travelers to kidnap without loved ones nearby to notice). It was in The Masked Empire, which I haven't read. The wiki says nothing else about it, but we could just pretend it has a chantry. Montsimmard - Headquarters of the Orlesian Grey Wardens and a second Circle of MagiConvenient for our GW characters to already be there, and plenty of unsure, newly "free" mages to corrupt. Possibly also a big enough city to get travelers and other convenient victims. Velun - a small townNot much to go on  But unlike Lac d'Argent, it is actually on this map, and is just across the lake from Montsimmard and its circle. Here are a few other tidbits from the wiki that we could make use of, either for story or just for imagery: There is a thriving thieves' guild in Orlais. In the capital it appears to operate at least in part in the sewers, making use of the "sous de gens", the poorest of the poor who live there. Elves may also join the local guild to make a living, willingly or unwillingly.
It is a tradition for Orlesian children to line up and beg for "petit alms" from passing travelers.

Seems to be coming along nicely. I'm changing the thread title to:
Twisted Oaths ~ Lake Celestine: 9:43 Dragon (OOC discussion)
(Velun won't mean anything much to casual viewers but Lake Celestine will place it. Assuming 9:43 Dragon still works, tell me if not.
And I've made a thread ready for the OP to edit when you get that far.
Need anything else, please tag me.

It is a tradition for Orlesian children to line up and beg for "petit alms" from passing travelers. Do we have details and general description of Montsimmard?
Vekun should be easy enough to describe I suppose, just another village probably.
No, I don't think so, so let's go with Velun. Then we can safely make it up as we go and will probably only need to reference Montsimmard, or maybe just visit the circle tower itself at some point. I'll go find pictures of some cute medieval French towns to set the stage, and get an outline of the story posted so we know where we are going. Then, we should be ready to start. @ SofaJockey thank you for the thread  @tzeenchianapostrophe phoray mousestalker smilesja GoldenGail3Please give me a brief description of how your character will join this quest so that I can determine a posting order. Will your character be one of the first to approach the sister about a missing loved one? Will they be tracking a victim or culprit for some other reason and then join in? Will they see a posting on the chantry board? Something else? Some of you also need to link the character you will be using

dragontartareOne of the clans that Ashara visits and she goes round will mention their Third has gone missing. When she visits a second clan and it's been attacked outright, their Keeper and First were kidnapped, Ashara will be "on the case." Those bastards. Think it's easy to raid Dalish Clans considering no one cares...

Or should the rest of us form a team and go to investigate, then come across her in the countryside?

Elaith gets drunk passes out and wakes up in a horse carriage on their way to velun Cool, but how does she meet up with the other characters? Do I need to have our NPC post a notice on the chantry board looking for people to investigate the disappearances? Or are you saying your character is a victim of attempted kidnapping? If so, I think we are having them get kidnapped from the Lake Celestine area, not taken to there

Our setting for at least the beginning of the story is Velun, Orlais, a town on Lake Celestine. Right across the lake is the city of Montsimmard, which houses the Orlesian Grey Wardens and a circle of magi (photos are of Yvoire, France, a medieval town on Lake Geneva with a population of 925...which I figure is a decent size for us to work with) An inn, if we need one aerial view There is a church at the center-left of this picture that could be our chantry: A few inspiration pictures: Our "chantry" in a courtyard

If there were actual kidnappings inside the village, the notice on the board would likely need to be a little vague, Leliana's agent wouldn't want to spook the kidnappers.
Or perhaps the kidnappers usually stick to outside the village? I was thinking the kidnappers would take mostly travelers, vagabonds, outsiders, and the like. People with no local connections, mostly, except they screwed up the last one and left witnesses.
