One idea could be exploring the rise of a new, unexpected power within the Dragon Age empire. Maybe a group of mages and templars form an alliance to combat a common threat that the empire has ignored. This could lead to a lot of political intrigue and power struggles.
A more character - driven plot could involve a Darkspawn who has some glimmer of self - awareness and tries to break free from the Blight's control. This Darkspawn could team up with a Grey Warden who initially is very suspicious but eventually realizes they share a common goal.
One idea could be a power struggle within the empire. Maybe a young noble rises to challenge the established ruling class. Another could be an exploration of the empire's relationship with a mysterious alien race. It could lead to a story of cooperation or conflict.
A plot idea could be that Bethany gets kidnapped by a group of slavers. Hawke then embarks on a rescue mission, facing all kinds of challenges along the way. This would test Hawke's determination and love for their sister.
One idea could be a world where the darkspawn and the elves form an alliance. They might come together out of mutual desperation, the darkspawn seeing the elves' connection to the Fade as an advantage, and the elves seeing the darkspawn's numbers as a means to gain power and protection from the other races. Another plot could involve a Dragon Age universe where magic is completely outlawed. Mages would have to go into hiding, and templars would be more like a secret police force, leading to a lot of underground resistance and intrigue. A third idea is an alternate universe where the Qunari have taken over most of Thedas. Their strict way of life would reshape the cultures and societies of the other races in ways that are both fascinating and disturbing.
One plot idea could be Iona discovers a long - lost prophecy that she is somehow a part of. This could lead her on a quest to find out more about her role in the prophecy and how to fulfill or prevent it. Another idea is that she befriends a group of outcasts and together they try to change the perception of their kind in the world of Thedas.
Maybe an OC who is a rogue with a mysterious past. They have a personal vendetta against a powerful Templar who has gone rogue and joined the enemy. The Inquisition becomes their means to get close to this Templar and exact revenge. Their skills in stealth and thievery could help the Inquisition in various covert operations.
Some fanfics explore Kieran's relationship with his family, especially his mother. There could be a plot where he tries to understand more about his mother's past and how it affects his own identity. This can lead to some emotional and heart - wrenching moments as he discovers secrets and tries to come to terms with them.
One idea could be an OC who is a mage from a small, hidden village. They venture out into the wider world of Dragon Age and have to deal with the templars' suspicion. Their unique magical abilities, perhaps a new form of spirit magic, draw both friends and enemies. Another plot could involve an OC who is a rogue with a mysterious past. They get caught up in a political intrigue in one of the major cities, like Kirkwall or Denerim, and have to use their skills to uncover secrets that could change the balance of power.
One idea could be starting from a small, war - torn village. The protagonist, using their wits and some help from Dragon Age companions, begins to rebuild it. They focus on building defenses first, like a wooden palisade and a watchtower. Another plot could involve uniting different factions within the kingdom through diplomatic means. For example, convincing the mages and templars to work together for the greater good of the kingdom.
A fanfic could focus on the dragons in both worlds. In 'Game of Thrones', Drogon and his siblings are unique. In 'Dragon Age', there are different dragon types. The story could explore how the dragons from the two worlds interact. Perhaps a character tries to tame a 'Dragon Age' dragon using the knowledge of dragon taming from 'Game of Thrones'.
