About

The Black Emporium expansion adds four high-level stores that sell epic weapons, powerful accessories, new crafting materials and schematics, and other hard-to-find items. Change your facial appearance with the Mirror of Transformation. Accessible from the war table, The Black Emporium provides even more ways to customize your Inquisition. NOTE: Despite being available very early in the game, the description of the associated war table mission spoils an important plot detail that happens later in the game. Therefore, it is advisable to access this DLC (or at least read its war table description) only after completing the "In Your Heart Shall Burn" main quest.
