Aeducan Thaig



The Aeducan Thaig was once home to the powerful Aeducan House. It was the last thaig taken from Orzammar by the darkspawn, and its loss was a great blow to dwarven pride. The shield of the Paragon Aeducan was said to be inside, and was in fact retrieved by the second child of Endrin Aeducan.

Background
The Thaig is the site of several side quests, most notably the starting point for the Topsider's Honor and Asunder quests. The Thaig is overrun with darkspawn, as well as deep stalkers.

The deep stalker matriach can be found here in the nesting cavern, which is crawling with deep stalkers. The matriach will repeatedly summon deep stalkers during the battle with her, but is not a very dangerous opponent herself.

Note that the matriarch and Topsider's Honor can also be located in neighbouring Caridin's Cross, rather than here, in which case a deep stalker leader will be present instead.
