Caridin's Cross



A crossroads within the Deep Roads, named after the ancient Paragon smith.

Background
Caridin's Cross was once the largest crossroads in the Deep Roads, connecting the city of Orzammar with many outlaying thaigs. It is now in a state of ruin, inhabited only by the darkspawn and deepstalkers. The northern exit leads to Orzammar, the southern exit to the Aeducan Thaig, Ortan Thaig, and Cadash Thaig. To the west, it leads to The Dead Trenches. In some cases the Deep Stalker Matriach is located here and if it's not it will be in Aeducan Thaig. An item for Topsider's Honor can also be found here.

Travelers are advised to read the road markers, lest they become lost in the crossroads.

There is a darkspawn 'fort' of sorts south of the starting point (in the middle of the crossroad), with three ballista's watching the roads which are manned by Genlocks. Charging the position without first removing the darkspawn using them is rather dangerous. Fortunately, the area is small enough that a Tempest/Blizzard/Inferno will easily dislodge them.
