Actress Felicia Day wrote Redemption, a six-part web series about the elf Tallis, who she also plays herself. The assassin is sent to capture a rogue Qunari magician. However, she comes across the Templar Cairn, whose goals for the magician seem to be incompatible with her own. In the hunt for the renegade, they initially pool their strengths in order to reach their goal more quickly. After Felicia Day started this story on her own initiative, it quickly found fans among the developers at Bioware. This resulted in the DLC “Mark of the Assassin” for Dragon Age 2, which was based on the story of Redemption.
