It seems like the city of Treviso isn’t doing so well inDragon Age: The Veilguard. Not only is it dealing with the ever-common class disparities, but it’s gotten even worse thanks to the Qunari military, known as the Antaam, forcibly occupying the city and taking control of things.
The Antivan Crows are committed to fighting back against the Antaam and pushing them out of their city, but it’s not something they can do in a single day. It will take time, careful planning, and a united front to free Treviso from the Antaam. The first thing you’ll need to do is start taking down those surrounding The Butcher.
