Revision as of 15:43, 12 June 2020

The Exalted Plains, also known as Dirthavaren ("the promise") in elvish, is a region of the Dales in Orlais. The Exalted Plains is a grassland region with a myriad of abandoned forts.

Background

Seven hundred years ago the elven nation fell on these very fields. The elven army was defeated by the combined forces assembled for the Exalted March called by the human Chantry, defending their land to the last breath. Then the settlement of Ville Montevelan was founded by one of the 'heroes' of the Exalted March, Sister Amity, and presided over by the allegedly elf-blooded Mayor Agur.

The Exalted Plains are steeped in conflict. Centuriesago, the Elves of the Dale made their last stand here. More recently, the plains played host to some of the most heated conflicts of the Orlesian Civil War . Somehow, despite ages of unrest, the lands the elves call "Dirthavaren" return a fragile beauty.

Dragon Age: Inquisition.

The Exalted Plains are now a contested battlefield in the War of the Lions. As the Veil tears throughout Thedas, the spirits stir beyond the veil to possess the dead.

Notes

  • After Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts has been completed, Commander Jehan and Marshall Proulx can be spoken to for additional dialogue, and new ambient dialogue can also be heard from the Orlesian soldiers stationed at Fort Revasan and Citadelle du Corbeau.
  • Although the door leading further into Citadelle du Corbeau can be highlighted, it cannot be opened by any means.
  • If you go near the bridge Pont Agur with Varric, he will say, "Don't anyone think of throwing me," which is a reference to Gimli from the film adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", wherein during their flight from the Balrog in Moria, he refuses aid making a difficult jump, saying "nobody tosses a dwarf." Later during the battle at Helm's Deep, Gimli reluctantly demands Aragorn throw him across a wide chasm as he is unable to make the jump to battle the Uruk Hai.
