Defending the Land

After returning to the Vigil's Keep throne room the first time - you may turn around right after leaving -, the new captain asks you where to send the troops as the nobles swear fealthy and demand protection.

Walkthrough
You have three choices:

- Send the troops to secure the trade routes - Send the troops to secure the farmlands - Send the troops to secure Amaranthine

If you send them to the trade routes you will gain new wares for the merchant Yuriah already in chapter one. But the other lands will overwhelm with darkspawn, the people will riot for protection and you will face a The Peasent Revolution at the same time.
