Rook, a new hero whose background comes from one of six factions, joins Varric Tethras and Lace Harding to stop a ritual in Minrathous, the capital of the Tevinter Imperium. It goes wrong, and two ancient elven gods break loose. Rook has to gather seven companions, the Veilguard of the title, and stop the gods before they remake Thedas.
