The story begins in the late 1880s, with a young man at the age of 24, who is named Walter Grayson. The story is set in Nythera, the homeland in which Walter spent his upbringing.
Like many others in Nythera, he was forced to work from a young age, as the people struggled under the rule of King Varric, a selfish and neglectful ruler whose greed only deepened their suffering. However, he was then forced to move to another place known as Morvane. Where he begins his life there, even with difficulties. Women, children, and men worked all day to bring food to the table, and people were treated poorly based on their level of class. When Walter was ten years old, he lived in an orphanage and was often sent into the forest to gather apples and firewood. There, he met Julia Mareou, a twelve-year-old girl who offered him water, and from that moment, they formed a strong and secret friendship. However, once they grew older, they got separated. Julia lived with her protective brother Sebastian, who was 16 but he never knew about Walter, making their bond something they kept hidden from everyone. Walter grew up to serve King Varric and became well respected at least among those of his own class. Not everyone admired him, however, especially the wealthy and well-known.
