The Taint’s Call

Write about the moment your protagonist hears the Song of the Archdemon for the first time.

In Dragon Age, all Grey Wardens are infected with the taint of the Darkspawn. This connection creates a compulsion referred to as the “call” or the “song.” This prompt explores the shock and terror that might arise when one first experiences this unique and horrifying sensation. It challenges writers to delve into their character’s emotional response, their struggle with the unceasing noise and the fear of what it might imply.
