Redcliffe Village

Background
Sitting on the western shore of Lake Calenhad, the village of Redcliffe is so named for the reddish hues of the cliffs that tower above it. A path leads up into the hills and across a bridge to an island where the ancient Castle Redcliffe has stood far longer than the village itself.

Redcliffe is located in the western hills of Ferelden. It once served as a strategic point between Orzammar and Ferelden when the humans of Ferelden feared dwarven invasion. The village around the castle grew and until the arling was as much a powerful settlement as anything ruled by a bann or a teyrn. The heraldric symbol for Redcliffe is a tower on a red cliff.

Arl Eamon, King Cailan's favorite uncle, is the current Arl of Redcliffe. Alistair and Ser Jory, two of the game's companions, are from Redcliffe.

Characters

 * Tomas: He is standing on the bridge when you first enter the village. He will bring you to the chantry to speak with Bann Teagan Guerrin. He will also run up to you when you try to leave the village before the quest A Village Under Siege is completed, asking you to stay and help.
 * Murdock: He is standing at the village square, talking to him is needed for the quest A Village Under Siege. While not needed, it is handy when you talk to him before going inside the other houses in the village.
 * Ser Perth and a few knights in front of the windmill.
 * Doomsayer: Near the Blacksmith's Store.

 * Knight-Commander Harrith: Near the Windmill. Involved in A Gift of Silence.
