Chateau Haine

Chateau Haine is the home of the Orlesian noble, Duke Prosper. It is the primary location of the Mark of the Assassin downloadable content for Dragon Age II.

Background
Previously known as Fortress Haine, the current vacation villa of the Orlesian Montfort Family was first built by Lord Norbert de la Haine. It is located in the Free Marches on the western slopes of the Vimmark Mountains. It was used as a stronghold by the Grey Wardens during the Fourth Blight, a cavern and lake constructed underneath the mountain to house thousands of refugees.

The abundance of wild wyvern in the area led to the Montforts sponsoring seasonal hunting parties to reduce their population, but eventually became a sporting event.

Involvement
Hawke and Tallis attend Duke Prosper's party in the Chateau's courtyard, and later infiltrate the interior.
