Get Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition DRM-free and with no-risk Money Back Guarantee from Good Old Games.

Fantasy game art from Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition (Dragon Age: Origins, the Awakening expansion, and all official Downloadable Content).

Genlocks are darkspawn born from BroodMothers that were once female dwarves. Genlock commanders (Genlock Alphas) wear a helmet with a distinctive design reminiscent of dwarven architecture patterns. Despite dwarves being unable to use magic, there are spell-casting Genlock Emissaries and Necromancers (both of which use the same character model).

From Codex entry: Genlock:
These are the most common darkspawn in the underground. Stocky and tough, genlocks are notoriously difficult to kill, even by magic. In any group of genlocks, there is usually one who is dominant. As the tallest, strongest, and smartest of their kind, [genlock alphas] serve as a sort of commander, directing or bullying the others in combat. The most intelligent of the alphas become gifted sorcerers, with many abilities akin to blood magic. These are the emissaries and they usually only appear during a Blight.

The Bard's Tale - Dun Ailinne Treasure Map

Fantasy art from The Bard's Tale fantasy role playing game. This cutscene features dialogue from the Houton blacksmith concerning his treasure map. Although the Bard being scammed is entirely in keeping with the overall tone of the game world, the treasure map was in fact a good one, as Dun Ailinne hides, among other things, the Golden Spyglass, which increases all future treasure finds by 10%.
