Vigil's Keep

Vigil's Keep is a fortress in Arling of Amaranthine.

History
The fortress was built by Alamarri to stop the Tevinters' advances from the North. The fortress belonged to those Alamarri who rebelled and became Avvars, and in their time it was known as Fort of a Thousand Vigils. As the Avvar culture declined, the ownership of the keep changed, eventually becoming the property of the Fereldan nobles of the Howe family.

When Amaranthine fell to the Orlesians during Fereldan Rebellion, the Howe family did not surrender. When the Orlesians were defeated in 8:99 Blessed, Vigil's Keep was the first place where the flag of Amaranthine was raised again. After this, Amaranthine became the home of the Howe family once more.

The keep itself was then run by Fereldan soldiers. The last soldier to be in charge of the keep was was Lieutenant Gable. The keep became a temporary base for Orlesian Grey Wardens who were helping Ferelden in the aftermath of the Blight, killing darkspawn stragglers. In 9:30 Dragon, the keep was officially given to the Grey Wardens by the Fereldan monarchy following the end of the Fifth Blight. The Warden-Commander was appointed to lead the Orlesian Grey Wardens located at the keep.
