Disaster in the Deep Roads

Learn how to handle the Disaster in the Deep Roads war table operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition's The Descent DLC. Get advisor suggestions and rewards.

Hey there! So, you've just relocated to Skyhold and the War Table is buzzing with new opportunities. One of the first ones you'll likely see, especially if you have The Descent DLC, is called "Disaster in the Deep Roads." It pops up automatically once you're settled in Skyhold. This operation is all about helping out Orzammar. An earthquake has caused some serious trouble down in the Deep Roads – collapsed mines, endangered workers, and, uh oh, darkspawn breaking through! Orzammar is a big supplier of lyrium for the Inquisition, so keeping them safe is pretty important. Luckily, the earthquake also opened up a new way in from the Storm Coast, which is where we'll focus our efforts. Operation Details: * Cost: 16 Power * Completion Time: Instant (with any advisor) Advisor Suggestions: When you go to assign someone, you'll see a few options: * Josephine: She suggests hiring Orzammar's own experts to build the necessary mining lift. Smart thinking, leaning on their local knowledge! * Leliana: She mentions knowing people who can get the job done quickly and safely. Her network is always reliable. * Cullen: He's focused on the immediate threat, wanting to dispatch his own people to the Storm Coast right away to contain the darkspawn. Honestly, any of them will get the job done instantly and unlock the next step. The choice here is more about role-playing and which advisor's approach you prefer. The Outcome: No matter who you choose, the result is the same: a mining lift is constructed at the Storm Coast fissure, giving the Inquisition direct access to the Deep Roads. You'll get a message from Scout Harding, who's already on-site. She'll warn you to be well-prepared for what's down there – think heavy armor, good weapons, and plenty of rations, because the darkspawn are definitely not friendly! Rewards: Completing this operation is crucial because it unlocks a brand new area for you to explore: the Storm Coast Fissure. This is your gateway into the Deep Roads for The Descent DLC content, so get ready for some serious underground adventuring!
