Dragon Age: Origins — The Darkspawn Chronicles is a paid add-on for a role-playing game with tactical elements and a third-person view in a fantasy setting. This campaign provides the opportunity to play as a creature of darkness. Instead of the Guardian, the player controls the Hurlock vanguard, which serves as the Archdemon's champion. It explores an alternate history, allowing the player to see what might have happened if the Guardian had died during the joining ceremony and the assembled forces had marched under Alistair's command.
