Mary Kirby: Writer behind Loghain, Sten, Varric, and Vivienne, plus all of Hard in Hightown. Just fired.
Lukas Kristjanson: Writer behind Aveline and the Arishok, plus the quests "Paragon of her Kind" and "In your Heart Shall Burn", plus the story "Genitivi Dies at the End" in Tevinter Nights. Also fired.
