" I'll go short, then fill in anything that made no sense, alright? As a warning, though, most of it will make no sense. "
He cleared his throat and grinned awkwardly. " See, I'm what they call a Grey Warden. A Grey Warden's job is to fight these ... monster things, called darkspawn. Usually, it's pretty easy, but sometimes, the darkspawn find something that kind of looks like a massive dragon, corrupt it, and then they come out in their thousands in what's known as a Blight. Pretty terrifying, actually.
" Anyway, to become a Warden, one of the things you have to do is — hah, I'm really not meant to tell anyone this, but, whatever, I'm exiled. They don't care. One of the things you have to do is drink this horrid thing out of a cup, and it contains darkspawn blood. Now, you might die on the spot after drinking this, or you might survive. And if you survive, you become a Warden, and you're immune to darkspawn corruption.
" Problem is, this taint that you've just drank does not agree with your body, nuh-uh. So it kills you, slowly. You hear the voices the darkspawn hear, and you can sense where they are, and they can sense where you are. Eventually, the voices start singing, you start to die, and that's when you go into the Deep Roads — which is where the darkspawn live — and you fight your way through them, killing as many as you can before they ultimately kill you. That's it. That's how it ends. "
He pressed his lips together. " The Calling — err, the singing voices of doom and darkness — can take different times to come on. Sometimes you live longer than average, often shorter. My voices are starting to sing, needless to say. That's why I keep failing at basic tasks. Did that make sense? That was the short version. The long version is much, much longer ... as the name implies. "
