Unfortunately for you, you won't have enough dough to buy anything yet. You can persuade Ilen to give you a bow of your own, which he will do, and you can also take a look at his inventory of goods available for purchase. It appears they aren't native to Ferelden, and conquered a barbaric foe when they first arrived in this region of the world. You can begin to ask him about the history surrounding the bow, and learn a little something about Dalish Elf history as well. When you speak with him, he'll be having a talk with a younger elf, who he's recently given a bow that's sacred to the Dalish Elves. Either way, be sure to raid the receptacle near him to find some valuable equipment.Ĭ: If you head on over to this location, you'll find an elder elf named Ilen. The decision you make is wholly up to you. If you'd like, you can recruit him to come with you to the ruins. Speak with him briefly to catch him up on your new quest. You can pick her brain about all sorts of subjects, and she'll talk to you at length about many things (including the Grey Wardens and the Darkspawn), but ultimately, you'll need to agree to head back to the ruins for her.ī: Nearby to Marethari's location, you'll find the elven male who originally stirred you awake from your long sleep. She's ordered the Dalish Elves to move on to a new location, but in the meantime, she wants you to head back to the ruins to find out just what happened there, and to see if you can find your friend. Marethari informs you that it took all of her arcane magical powers to keep you alive, and that you were out for a full two days. However, you were found alone, and the fate of your companion is yet unknown. It appears that a human male Grey Warden named Duncan found you outside of the ruins and brought you back to camp. She has more information for you on how you arrived back at base camp, and also how you survived.

The force that knocked you out was certainly dark, but identifying just what it was is indeed difficult to do.Įventually, the leader of your nomadic group of Dalish Elves, a female by the name of Keeper Marethari, will show up.

Just what occurred within the ruins remains a mystery. Events have been re-told as accurately as I could as well as a little extra on the side. You were found outside of the ruins you were exploring by a human male (you'll find out more about him shortly). This is my re-creation of the events in Dragon Age: Origins, following my Dalish Elf Warden. At first, a friend of yours will speak with you and catch you up with just what happened. You're back at the Dalish Elf base camp from which you came (called in-game simply as the Dalish Camp). A: Just a quickly as you blacked out, you'll find yourself coming-to amongst familiar, friendly faces.
