Fort Drakon

Fort Drakon is an ancient fortress that pre-dates the city of Denerim. The location of Fort Drakon was originally an outpost of the Tevinter Imperium. The Imperium's mages built a tower rising out of a mountain to symbolize its power. The city of Denerim was built around the tower, and after the Imperium lost control of the region, it passed through the control of different teyrns who ruled the area. Fort Drakon eventually settled under the command of the arl of Denerim. The current arl, Rendon Howe, now uses the fortress as a dungeon where the torture of prisoners often occurs.

Involvement
At the end of the mission to rescue Queen Anora, the Warden will encounter a large contingent of guards led by Ser Cauthrien. The Warden can choose to surrender to Ser Cauthrien, or attempt to defeat the guards and escape. If they choose to surrender, the Warden, along with Alistair (if he is in the party) are taken as prisoners to Fort Drakon. They can either escape themselves or be rescued by two of their companions.

Fort Drakon was the death place of the Archdemon, Urthemiel, during the Fifth Blight. The senior Grey Warden, Riordan, having failed to kill the Archdemon, only managed to incapacitate its wings thereby causing it to land on the roof of the fortress. The Warden and the party secured the fortress from within during the Battle of Denerim before confronting the Archdemon on the roof with the aid of Ferelden's elite warriors.
