Val Royeaux



Val Royeaux is the capital of Orlais, and home to the Chantry of Andraste. It lies on the northern coast of the far inland tip of the Waking Sea. It is one of the largest cities of Thedas.

Background
Val Royeaux is the secular capital, but also the capital of the Chantry, the seat of the Divine being situated at the Grand Cathedral of Val Royeaux. There, the Chantry performs a ritual where the entire Chant of Light is sung, a process thought to take about a fortnight to complete.

Val Royeaux is also where aging templars retire to when they can no longer adequately perform their services due to mental deterioration caused by long-term lyrium dependency.
