I'm kinda curious to see if the "Friends of Red Jenny" will make yet another apprearance in DA III and if we'll finally get to find out exactly who or what this group is about.


In Origins, it sounded like it was some sort of magical/supernatural order because I remember when my Warden  delivered Irving's painted box to the mysterious door in Denerim, when the door opened, "there was a light breeze, like a change in pressure." Yet in DA II there was nothing magical or supernatural about them  - they simply rewarded you for eliminating all the gangs throughout the course of the game.


It might be that FoRJ have different orders in different areas since they've shown up in Denerim and Kirkwall. I'm guessing that if DA III does take us to Orlais, that order might be more political due to the manueverings of its nobles.


Any ideas on what you think the "Friends of Red Jenny" might be?

I too would like to know more about Red Jenny. Who on earth are these people? Its such an interesting concept, but so far that's all it is. I want to meet her in DA3, maybe work for her in some capacity on various minor quests.

An organized crime syndicate. They like a quiet city to play in.

And I too would love to see more of these guys. Hell I'd like to join them.

I had once toyed with the idea that the Friends of Red Jenny are somehow related to Aveline's side quest in Mark of the Assassin...

***Spoilers for MotA***


“She of the Red” that appears in the note in the black vial might be a Red Jenny reference. An interesting thing to note is that the Red Jenny Seekers item description (from DA:O) states: "items associated with the enigmatic Friends of Red Jenny rarely escape the group, except perhaps on the corpse of a betrayer." Which sounds just like the sort of thing that would have some glassware filled with dark swirly vileness and trapped armored horrors. 

Granted, "She of the Red" could hearken to "the Followers of She" or maybe even Aveline's mother (given the Du Lac context). But with regard to the latter, in a fit of wild speculation, I did ponder whether or not Red Jenny was the Guard Captain's mother. After all, the group wants a safe city to play in and is willing to pay for that peace - something that seems in line, albeit with a rogue-ish bend, with how Aveline feels about order over chaos.

The Friends of Red Jenny are definitely on my list of things I'd like to know more about.

Just a group of criminals.

Here's a link to a previous DA2 thread which discussed this topic :
Friends of Red Jenny

If the reference to 'Pirate Jenny's' from Brecht's Threepenny Opera is true, I think there are few chances we ever get a definitive answer to the question (I would like that though) :

"...Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell
In this crummy Southern town, in this crummy old hotel
But you'll never guess to who you're talkin'.
No. You couldn't ever guess to who you're talkin'...":bandit:

(This is not cut out from an exact translation of the original version, but a sort of 'average' of the many english versions of the song, I've found with google.)
Here a supposed good translation of the song I found (can't check it by myself.)
About the 'change in pressure' when the doors opens, maybe I read too much into it, but it made me think to the ominous breeze in the beginning of 'Pirates of the Caribbean : The Curse of the Black Pearl', a story which seems a bit reminiscent of the 'Pirate Jenny' song, also.

Considering that they give you the same reward for demon cults as street gangs, I would say they're up to more than petty criminal enterprise.

If you doubt there's something weird going on with the Friends of the Red Jenny, how exactly does a representative of the organization always manage to appear when Hawke puts down the first gang of lowlifes?
