Summary
Nidhogg's rage falls elsewhere in Coerthas and Estinien grows to adulthood a simple shepherd alongside his loving (though well-meaningly busybodying) family. Though content with his lot, his heart longs for a companionship that has thus far eluded him. Thinking to alleviate some of his ennui, he decides to purchase some of his family's lands for himself and set up his own shepherds croft, hoping to increase his fortunes.
A tragedy earlier on in her journey as Lady Iceheart prompts a Vision from the Mother Crystal that reveals the terrible truth about Hraesvelgr's part in the Dragonsong War early. Disillusioned by this heartlessness, Ysayle chooses to lay aside her Heretical Cause and live her life simply, far away from the war. She is uncertain what she might do at first, however fate intercedes in the form of a most peculiar (fluffy!) creature from Dravania, one with the finest, softest fleece she's ever before felt that appears ripe for domestication.

Summary
Besieged by nightmares of the time he'd spent possessed by the shade of Nidhogg's wrath, Estinien goes on a pilgrimage not for remembrance but to try to retain possession of himself from the remnants of the Dread Worm what whispers through his dreams. Exhausted and at the end of his strength, Estinien shelters from a winter storm, determined that he will freeze to death before he surrenders, but is met by the spirit of a trusted comrade. Perhaps Hydaelyn is not finished with the Azure Dragoon after all.

Summary
The kingdom of Tai teeters on a knife-edge, balanced between civil war and a very fragile peace. General Asen was defeated but his legacy remains; the Province Lords of the North resist the fragile Royal Authority of a moonlight court led by the Taiho and the Royal Consort, who prop up the throne in the absence of Tai's rightful ruler Gyousou Saku (who is held in spelled slumber) for the last fifty years. It is at the eleventh hour that King Gyousou awakens and the armies of the northern shuukou, led by Asen, prepare to launch an attack on the Palace. The restoration of Royal Authority by the King, the Taiho, and the Royal Consort may be Tai's last, best hope for peace.

Summary
Solas would have thought that guiding the Inquisition along toward his own goals from behind the scenes would occupy him entirely, but Mythal's Blessing activated and granted him a Bondmark. Cynical of the supposed "blessing" as he was one of the few who were aware of its true origins and purpose, he'd elected to ignore the minor inconvenience, thinking that there would be nothing in the short-lived magically stunted elflings of modern times that would he would find at all appealing.
Then his Bondmate, Merrill, walked into Skyhold.
Struck by her beauty and intrigued by her courage and intelligence, so unexpected from what he'd come to expect from a Dalish, Solas quickly becomes smitten by her, and determines that he would claim the Bondmate that Mythal's Blessing had selected for him. A woman of courage and audacity, however, will naturally refuse to bow meekly simply because he demands it of her, so Solas is brought to bargain with her as an equal.
Everyone has their price, and he knows what hers is.

Summary
While Jynn Ur'Gored would have hesitated noticeably to say that he was "part of the team" on this insane hay-ride across the Freedlands, there was one matter in particular with which his goals aligned nicely with the rest of the party... that matter being the desire to thwart Detarr Ur'Mayan from attaining his goals (supposedly as part of a lager over-arcing plan to thwart the Heroes Guild and all of their backers from attaining theirs). Now he's found a way to do just that, but it involves infiltrating High Society in the Southern Empire and cracking an impenetrable safe just to start with. They have a narrow window of opportunity and the only way out is through... so they'll do it like the Imperial job.
