The Breach, upon it's first appearance, wrought havoc upon the world of Thedas.
Divine Justinia was killed when the Veil broke, and demons of all sorts spilled out as tears appeared anywhere they could take place across the land. Literal hell broke loose from above, and the Breach pierced a green and deathly hole in the sky that grew ever larger as time continued.
But when Justinia left the mortal realm... You entered it.
You awaken to find yourself on the ground, with many soldiers and watchmen now freaking out over you abruptly being present. The Breach, walled off by large wooden spikes stuck in the ground, lies behind you. There's a faint sound of thunder, distant yelling, and everything is slightly dusty.
Seeker Cassandra, Solas, and Varric, rush in from around a wooden wall to meet you, having been called in by the scared guards. The reactions to you are... Certainly varied.
Cassandra: "By the Maker!"
She draws her sword swiftly with anger in her eyes, ready to confront you like any other demon that had already fallen out of the Fade.
Varric has his crossbow, Bianca, drawn and loaded. But he seems more... Hesitant, to attack you on sight.
Varric: "Well would you look at that..."
Solas says nothing, but stares with a stoic glower while keeping his hand on his staff... Just in case. He too, seems not all that eager to have you killed.
