We're several days into the first week of a new major RPG, which means it's just about time for everyone to take a little screen break from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Not that you have to take a break from Thedas entirely while getting away from the computer: Instead, you should crack open the short story collection Tevinter Nights, especially if you think the Antivan Crows assassin guild is kind of cool.
Tevinter Nights was written by a number of BioWare writers and includes stories with several of The Veilguard's companions. Neve and Lucanis both feature prominently while others like Emmrich get nods in bits related to their factions. The Crows are an attractive concept—who doesn't like a group of assassins?—and The Veilguard definitely brings us into their world more than Dragon Age has in past games. But even so, there are two Tevinter Nights stories that give them so much more depth than The Veilguard manages to.
