Dalish Camp

The Dalish Camp is the where Zathrian's clan resides during the events of the Fifth Blight. It is accessed when the Warden travels to the Brecilian Outskirts via the World map.

Background[]

The Dalish elves are a nomadic peoples, and thus all of their equipment and homes are built to be mobile. The Warden will see several aravels or large carts or wagons that are pulled by their halla. The camp is merely a temporary place of residence for the Dalish until they decide to move elsewhere in the world. The Dalish do not plan, and rarely share, their movements with anyone, even members of other clans. This particular camp is unable to relocate due to recent (and ongoing) events, however.

This clan is led by Keeper Zathrian; his clan currently has an ongoing feud with their neighbors— whom are all werewolves.

The elves will vary in their responses to the Warden according to the value of the Clan Attitude global variable, which is affected by the player's choices. See Lanaya, Rare Ironbark, Elora's Halla, Wounded in the Forest, Deygan, and Cammen's Lament for further information.

- There are two totems attached to the wheels of some of the Dalish aravels, these totems take the shape of a what seems to be an ox's skull. The Codex entries explain the polytheistic religion of the Dalish elves, with each statue or totem representing a different deity.
Chest to the left of Zathrian - examining it draws Lanaya's attention and she asks the Warden to leave it be. The Warden is not able to persuade Lanaya into allowing them access to the chest as the persuade check has no success branch.
- If the chest is left alone temporarily and then an additional attempt is made Lanaya will accuse the Warden of stealing from the chest (although nothing is removed).
- After a third attempt the Song Book) can be acquired; Lanaya however will become extremely harsh towards the Warden preventing them from asking any additional questions about the Dalish or Zathrian.
- If the chest is examined after siding with the elves, Lanaya will not attempt to stop the Warden nor will she accuse them of stealing, thus allowing for the ‘’Song Book’’ to be taken without any repercussions.
