Endrin Aeducan

"Denial of the traditions of our people does not qualify as a political technicality!"

King Endrin Aeducan is the King of Orzammar from 8:96 Blessed until 9:30 Dragon. His three children are Trian (the eldest), Bhelen (the youngest) and the Dwarf Noble.

Background
House Aeducan traces its ancestry back to the Paragon Aeducan, the greatest warrior in Orzammar's history, who beat back the darkspawn hordes of the First Blight but at the cost of sealing the Deep Roads and leaving many other thaigs isolated against the darkspawn. Endrin was only the second child of King Ansgar Aeducan but became heir to the throne when he convinced his elder brother to fight in a Proving against a convicted murderer, thus resulting in his brother's death. According to Bhelen, Endrin was responsible for the poison found on the murderer's blade.

The most respected king in four generations, he restored Orzammar's contact with Kal-Sharok, the only other known great thaig to survive the First Blight.
