Another Dragon Age: Inquisition screenshot has surfaced, accompanying a blog post that provides some background information for the Exalted Plains, an area of apparent prominence in Bioware’s upcoming RPG.
You can see the screenshot below. Nothing remarkable, really, but what’s more interesting is the accompanying blog post. The Exalted Plains have been the subject area of a few screenshots released by Bioware recently, and now the studio has decided to expand a little on the history of the area.
The Exalted Plains of the Dales are characterized by equal measures of beauty and strife. It was here, centuries ago, that the elven nation met its bitter end. On these fields, the holdouts of the elven army faced the forces of the human Chantry and died, defending their promised land to the last breath. This legacy of conflict has endured, and battle once again rages in the Dales.
The Exalted Plains are now a contested battleground in the Orlesian civil war, and soldiers fight and die here in vast numbers. As the boundaries of reality weaken across Thedas, the memory of injustices past and present draws the attention of restless spirits who rise to possess the dead and stalk the living across the blood-steeped earth.
Sounds like a pleasant place to travel. We’ll find out in Fall 2014, when Dragon Age: Inquisition hits PC and consoles.
