Gwaren

Gwaren is one of the major towns of Ferelden. Loghain is in charge of Gwaren as the Teyrn of it.

Background
During the rebellion against the Orlesian usurper Meghren more than thirty years before the events in Dragon Age: Origins, Gwaren was "retaken" by the rebel army led by King Maric Theirin and became the headquarters of it for a longer time. After the disasterous attempt at attacking West Hill the rebel army retreated there and the usurper laid siege to the town. Sometime later, Maric returned to Gwaren through the Deep Roads though the rumor said that he had risen from the dead. Upon hearing about Maric's return and beliieving that Maric had truly returned from the dead, the townspeople rose in open rebellion against the usurper and the combination of the townspeople and Maric's forces were able to defeat the usurper's forces, though not before half of the town's population was slain and the town aflame. After the war, Maric made Loghain Mac Tir Teyrn of Gwaren.
