The '''Emerald Graves''' is a forested region of the [[Dales]] in [[Orlais]]. The area is an ancient [[Elf|elven]] burial ground but has been partly occupied by Orlesians in more recent times. They were formerly known as the ''Emerald March'' when the Dales were still an independent nation and are referred to as the ''Greatwood'' by the local Orlesian [[Orlesian royalty and nobility|nobility]].

Long ago, before the fall of the [[Dales]], a tree was planted for every warrior who pledged themselves to the guardianship of the Dales; these warriors were the [[Emerald Knights]] of [[Halamshiral]]. When humans began encroaching on our borders, the Knights banded together to protect us from their incursion. But the humans were many, and their [[Chantry]] powerful, and they eventually conquered the Dales. The trees that once represented the Emerald Knights were now living symbols of their sacrifice—''the Emerald Graves''.<br>—As told by Keeper Gisharel of the Ralaferin Clan<ref>Excerpt from [[Codex entry: The Emerald Graves]]</ref>
⚫
It is said that each tree found in the Graves is a reminder of a life lost during the [[Exalted Marches|Exalted March]] against the Dales. The southern half of the region is relatively civilized, marked with road signs and Orlesian estates, though they have fallen into disrepair during the [[War of the Lions]]. Further into the region, the woods teem with wildlife and vast foliage. The area is home to many common beasts such as [[Wolf|wolves]], [[Bronto|brontos]], and [[nugs]]. Some of such wildlife are unique creatures—giants, great [[bear]]s, and a dragon that prowls through the northern-most region. The forest is also home to a group of Orlesian refugees, led by a man called [[Fairbanks]], and the Freemen of the Dales, deserters of [[Celene]] and [[Gaspard de Chalons|Gaspard]]'s armies who have taken to harassing the refugees.

Orlesian [[Orlesian royalty and nobility|nobility]] referred to region as the ''Greatwood''; however, when the Dales were still an independent nation the region was commonly labeled the ''Emerald March''. It is said that each tree found in the Graves is a reminder of a life lost during the [[Exalted Marches|Exalted March]] against the Dales.<ref>[[Codex entry: The Emerald Graves]]</ref>

Traveling through the Dales, one will see dozens of carven stone wolves. The [[Dalish]] call these the Knights’ Guardians. In the days of elven Halamshiral, wolf companions walked alongside Emerald Knights, never leaving the side of their chosen knight. Wolf and elf would fight together, eat together, and when the knights slept, wolves would guard them. The statues were erected in memory of their unbreakable bond.<ref>An excerpt from ''In Pursuit of Knowledge: The Travels of a Chantry Scholar'' by [[Brother Genitivi]]; taken from [[Codex entry: Knight's Guardian]]</ref>

The Emerald Graves are home to Orlesian [[Watcher's Reach Refugees|refugees]] that have recently lost their homes due the encroaching War of the Lions as well as from raiding parties led by the [[Freemen of the Dales]]. The Freemen are composed of deserters from both [[Celene]] and [[Gaspard de Chalons]]'s army. They have taken to harassing the refugees in area and forced them into hiding; they are also inadvertently colluding with [[Red Templars]] and [[Venatori]] in pushing the [[Elder One]]'s agenda in the region.

The Emerald Graves is a forested region of the Dales in Orlais. The area is an ancient elven burial ground but has been partly occupied by Orlesians in more recent times.

Background

Long ago, before the fall of the Dales, a tree was planted for every warrior who pledged themselves to the guardianship of the Dales; these warriors were the Emerald Knights of Halamshiral. When humans began encroaching on our borders, the Knights banded together to protect us from their incursion. But the humans were many, and their Chantry powerful, and they eventually conquered the Dales. The trees that once represented the Emerald Knights were now living symbols of their sacrifice—the Emerald Graves.
—As told by Keeper Gisharel of the Ralaferin Clan[1]

Orlesian nobility referred to region as the Greatwood; however, when the Dales were still an independent nation the region was commonly labeled the Emerald March. It is said that each tree found in the Graves is a reminder of a life lost during the Exalted March against the Dales.[2]

The southern half of the region is relatively civilized, marked with road signs and Orlesian estates, though they have recently fallen into disrepair from the War of the Lions. Further into the region, the woods teem with wildlife and vast foliage. The area is home to many common beasts including wolves, brontos and nugs. In the northern-most region unique creatures such as giants and great bears rome freely, whilst the Greater Mistral reigns supreme.

Traveling through the Dales, one will see dozens of carven stone wolves. The Dalish call these the Knights’ Guardians. In the days of elven Halamshiral, wolf companions walked alongside Emerald Knights, never leaving the side of their chosen knight. Wolf and elf would fight together, eat together, and when the knights slept, wolves would guard them. The statues were erected in memory of their unbreakable bond.[3]

This forest in the Dales, once known as the Emerald March, is now the Emerald Graves. A tree grows here for every elven knight who died in the Dales, protecting the region from the humans during their Exalted March on the Dales.

Involvement

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Inquisition.

The Emerald Graves are home to Orlesian refugees that have recently lost their homes due the encroaching War of the Lions as well as from raiding parties led by the Freemen of the Dales. The Freemen are composed of deserters from both Celene and Gaspard de Chalons's army. They have taken to harassing the refugees in area and forced them into hiding; they are also inadvertently colluding with Red Templars and Venatori in pushing the Elder One's agenda in the region.

The refugees, led by Evariste "Fairbanks" Lemarque welcome the Inquisitor's aid in dealing with the Freemen, Red Templars and Venatori. The Inquisitor can gain access to The Graves by completing the Make Contact in the Emerald Graves war table scouting operation in Skyhold.
