'''Ferelden''' is a kingdom located in southeastern [[Thedas]]. It borders [[Orlais]] along the [[Frostback Mountains]] to the west, the Amaranthine Ocean to the east, the [[Waking Sea]] to the north and the [[Korcari Wilds]] to the south. Most of the nation is dominated by a vast plain known as the [[Bannorn]]. The eastern third of the nation is dominated by the [[Brecilian Forest]], whilst the west of the nation comprises Lake Calenhad.<ref>[[Codex entry: Geography of Ferelden]]</ref> The nation is a feudal elective monarchy. It is ruled by a king or queen who is elected by the [[Fereldan royalty and nobility#The Landsmeet|Landsmeet]].<ref name="Politics">[[Codex entry: Politics of Ferelden]]</ref> Its capital is [[Denerim]].

The area now corresponding to Ferelden was first settled in -2415 [[Ancient Age|Ancient]] by the [[Alamarri]] tribes.<ref>{{Cite wot|12}}</ref> Parts of Ferelden were for a time part of the [[Tevinter Imperium]]. [[Andraste]], the principal figure of [[Andrastianism]], was born in Denerim around -203 Ancient. She led the Alamarri in the [[Exalted March against the Tevinter Imperium|First Exalted March]] against Tevinter.<ref>[[Codex entry: Culture of Ferelden]]</ref> During the [[Exalted Age]], [[Calenhad Theirin]] united the Alamarri tribes and became the first king of Ferelden.<ref name="HoFCh1">[[Codex entry: History of Ferelden: Chapter 1]]</ref> Orlais invaded and annexed Ferelden during the early [[Blessed Age]]. Starting during the second half of the Blessed Age and continuing into the [[Dragon Age (time period)|Dragon Age]], the [[Fereldan Rebellion]] under the leadership of [[Maric Theirin]] and [[Loghain Mac Tir]] was able to defeat the Orlesians and to obtain independence.<ref>[[Codex entry: History of Ferelden: Chapter 2]]</ref> Ferelden was the nation most affected by the [[Fifth Blight]] in 9:30 and 9:31 Dragon, which was ultimately defeated in the [[Battle of Denerim (conflict)|Battle of Denerim]].

Citizens of Ferelden are known as Fereldans.
== History ==
=== Unification ===
{{Main|Unification of Ferelden}}
When the Alamarri peoples first split from [[Human tribes|Neromenians]], they migrated southeast and crossed the [[Frostback Mountains]] in -2415 [[Ancient Age|Ancient]].<ref>{{Cite wot|12}}</ref> There, they found a new homeland that would eventually become "Ferelden", which means "fertile valley" in the Alamarri tongue.<ref name="p50">{{Cite wot|50}}</ref> However, the fertile valley did not become a sovereign nation for almost 3000 years.<ref>[[Calenhad Theirin]] established the Kingdom of Ferelden in 5:42 Exalted, according to {{Cite wot|105}}. It's 2957 years after the first Alamarri tribes arrived in the fertile valley.</ref> This period of time is littered with numerous wars the Alamarri tribes waged, both with foreign powers such as the [[Tevinter Imperium]] and [[Orlais]], as well as their fellow tribes. During that time the Alamarri developed their own [[Fereldan royalty and nobility|political system]] which remains largely intact to this day. With time, powerful nobles would turn their land into [[Fereldan royalty and nobility#Bann|bannorns]], then [[Fereldan royalty and nobility#Arlings|arlings]], and finally [[#Teyrnirs|teyrnirs]].<ref name="Politics">[[Codex entry: Politics of Ferelden]]</ref> The nobles continued the Alamarri tradition of infighting and continued to fight with each other over petty and personal matters in order to gain more power. A few of the most powerful nobles put forward their bid for kingship over the Alamarri, but without success.<ref name="wot2-29">{{Cite wot2|29}}</ref>

Then in the [[Exalted Age]] came a man named [[Calenhad Theirin|Calenhad]] who was born to a merchant. Through a series of events he got involved in the war for kingship, during which time he first became a servant to one of the candidates for the throne. When his master decided to use him to gain advantage against other nobles, Calenhad acted honourably; through his actions gained respect and command of the armies of his former master. He married his master's noble daughter, and became a teyrn<ref>[[Codex entry: Aldenon's Vestments]]</ref>—and a candidate for king himself.

As he was leading his men more joined his side, for he was known to be more honourable than other true nobles. Calenhad also gained followers in the [[Circle of Magi]], as well as the [[Ash Warriors]].<ref name="HoFCh1"/> By then, [[Andrastianism]] had become very popular in other lands. Calenhad gained the trust of those amongst the Alamarri who followed the faith, as he was said to be a devoted Andrastian himself.<ref name=":1">[[Codex entry: Freedom's Promise]]</ref>

[[File:Art.png|thumb|220x220px|Traditional Fereldan art]]

In 5:42 Exalted a [[Fereldan royalty and nobility#The Landsmeet|Landsmeet]] was called and Calenhad made an appearance with his army, including [[mage]]s of the Circle, [[Templar Order|templars]] and the Ash Warriors.<ref name="HoFCh1"/><ref name=":1" /> With allies at his side, Calenhad challenged the biggest threat to his rule, the most powerful noble—Simeon, the teyrn of [[Denerim]]. Calenhad was matched in combat and wounded, but ultimately Simeon was defeated by Lady Shayna. The nobles voted Calenhad to be king, and the fertile valley became the nation of Ferelden. Calenhad Theirin started the royal family of [[Theirin family|Theirins]] who sat on the Fereldan Throne<ref>[[Codex entry: The Legend of Calenhad: Chapter 2]]</ref> for the next three centuries.

=== Grey Warden rebellion ===
{{Main|Battle of Soldier's Peak}}
In 7:5 [[Storm Age|Storm]], King [[Arland Theirin]], who earned the reputation of a tyrant, ascended to the throne. Some banns approached [[Commander of the Grey|Warden-Commander]] [[Sophia Dryden]], who previously held a claim to the throne, to intercede, and she agreed.<ref>{{Cite wot|113}}</ref> She violated the [[Grey Wardens]]' neutrality by gathering allies to rebel against the king. Arland discovered the plot and his forces eventually routed Sophia and her followers at [[Soldier's Peak]], where the Wardens held out for a brief time, despite being outnumbered. After defeating the Wardens at Soldier's Peak, Arland banished them from Ferelden. The Order would have no presence in Ferelden for another two centuries.

Little is known of what followed Arland's rule, as a civil war for the throne occurred soon after his death. The war lasted a decade and wiped away most records of his reign.

=== Orlesian invasion ===
{{Main|Second Orlesian Invasion of Ferelden}}
The nation was invaded by Orlais in 8:24 [[Blessed Age|Blessed]]<ref>{{Cite wot|123}}</ref> and fully conquered 20 years later. The [[Theirin family|Theirins]] were forced into hiding, but the [[Fereldan Rebellion|rebellion]] against the invaders persisted.<ref>{{Cite wot|125}}</ref> For the next several decades, the nation was under Orlesian occupation. Orlesian noble [[Meghren]] was installed as the king of Ferelden during the late years of the occupation.<ref name=":2" />

{{Main|Fereldan Rebellion}}
Ferelden was freed through the efforts of [[Maric Theirin]], who was the rightful heir to the throne, with the help of [[Loghain Mac Tir]] and [[Rowan|Rowan Guerrin]]. They mustered the remaning rebels against the occupier. A large number of Orlesian forces was defeated at the Battle of River Dane, forcing [[Orlesian royalty and nobility|Emperor]] [[Florian Valmont|Florian]] to withdraw all support for Meghren. Eventually by 9:00 [[Dragon Age (time period)|Dragon]],<ref>{{Cite wot|133}}</ref> King Meghren and the remnants of his court fled to and barricaded themselves inside [[Fort Drakon]]. Maric challenged Meghren to a duel and killed him in single combat, ending his rule and the Orlesian occupation. Maric then married Rowan and set out to rebuild Ferelden.<ref name=":2">[[Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne|''Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne'']]</ref>

== Involvement ==
=== ''Dragon Age: Origins'' ===
{{Main|Fifth Blight}}
{{SpoilerDAO|
In 9:30 [[Dragon Age (time period)|Dragon]], the Grey Wardens, who had been allowed to return to Ferelden in 9:10 by King Maric, warn that a [[Blight]] is imminent and gather the King's army in the Korcari Wilds in hopes of stopping it in its infancy. But memories of the Orlesian occupation linger in many Fereldan minds, especially Teyrn Loghain's. Despite Loghain's opposition to inviting Orlesian forces to aid Ferelden against the Blight, King [[Cailan Theirin|Cailan]], Maric's son, is determined to put old hatreds aside for the sake of fighting the [[darkspawn]]. However, before the Orlesian troops can arrive, Loghain abandons Cailan and the Wardens to the darkspawn at that pivotal [[Battle of Ostagar|battle]] at the ruins of [[Ostagar]]. After returning to [[Denerim]], Loghain names himself regent for his daughter Queen [[Anora]], King Cailan's widow, claiming that the Wardens were the ones who abandoned the battle. But having seized the throne so soon after Cailan's death sparks suspicions amongst some of the nobles while others swallow the lie, leading to a [[Fereldan Civil War|civil war]] that threatens to leave the nation vulnerable to the Blight.

However, the two newest members of the Grey Wardens, [[The Warden]] and [[Alistair]], having survived the massacre at Ostagar thanks to the help of the legendary [[Witch of the Wilds]] [[Flemeth]], work to recruit an army to fight the Blight using ancient treaties signed by [[Orzammar]], the [[Dalish]] and the [[Circle of Magi]]. Eventually, with the aid of [[Eamon Guerrin|Arl Eamon]], the two Wardens are able to depose Loghain during a [[The Landsmeet|Landsmeet]] and unite Ferelden to stand against the Blight. The Landsmeet also settles the matter of succession, with either Queen Anora, Cailan's widow, or Alistair, Cailan's half-brother, claiming the throne (separately or together in marriage). The Blight soon ends with the death of the [[archdemon]] [[Urthemiel]] during the [[Battle of Denerim (conflict)|Battle of Denerim]], sparing Ferelden from certain destruction. [[The Warden]] who helped stopped the Blight is named the Hero of Ferelden.
}}

=== ''Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening'' ===
{{Main|Amaranthine Conflict (9:31 Dragon)}}
{{SpoilerDAOA|
In 9:31 Dragon, six months after the conclusion of the Fifth Blight, the Arling of [[Amaranthine]]—formerly the seat of Loghain's ally Arl [[Rendon Howe]]–is granted to the Grey Wardens in recognition of their service to Ferelden. The new [[The Warden-Commander|Warden-Commander]] is sent there to rebuild the order and find new recruits.

Despite the death of the archdemon, the darkspawn have not retreated to the [[Deep Roads]] (as was natural following prior Blights) and there are reports of a new, [[the Disciples|highly intelligent breed]] of darkspawn. Through investigation, the Warden-Commander discovers that these intelligent darkspawn have broken into two warring factions, one led by [[the Mother]] and the other led by [[the Architect]]. Both amass darkspawn armies and their civil war threaten the safety of Amaranthine. The Warden-Commander has no choice but to destroy the Mother to restore peace, but has the option to either kill the Architect or allow him to live and continue his work.
}}

=== ''Dragon Age II'' ===
{{SpoilerDA2|
Many Fereldans flee the Fifth Blight by crossing the Waking Sea into the [[Free Marches]]. Coastal cities such as [[Kirkwall]] are inundated with Fereldan refugees, sparking strong anti-Fereldan sentiments in the local population. 

By 9:37, Ferelden is still recovering from the Blight and is at risk of invasion by Orlais, as some Orlesian nobles are looking to recover their lost province.
}}

=== ''Dragon Age: Inquisition'' ===
{{Main|War against the Elder One}}
{{SpoilerDAI|
In 9:41 Dragon, the monarchy offers the [[Rebel Mages|rebel mages]] sanctuary in Ferelden, in the arling of [[Redcliffe]]. However, their generosity to the rebel mages draws some ire. The [[Templar Order|templar]] host pursue them across the border, sparking fierce skirmishes throughout the [[Hinterlands]], while some speculate that [[Starkhaven]] placed trade sanctions against Ferelden as a sign of protest.<ref>[[Codex entry: Ferelden After the Blight]]</ref> Conflict between mages and templars only worsens after the destruction of Divine [[Justinia V]]'s [[Codex entry: The Conclave|peace conclave]] and the creation of the [[Breach]].

With the help of Arl [[Gallagher Wulff]],<ref>[[Deal with Venatori Ally]]</ref> Grand Enchanter [[Fiona]]'s refuge in Redcliffe is infiltrated by [[Venatori]] agents, who spread fear and misinformation. By capitalizing on their fear, and through use of time magic, [[Magister]] [[Gereon Alexius]] is able to conscript the rebel mages into service to the [[Tevinter Imperium]]. He throws Arl [[Teagan Guerrin|Teagan]] out of Redcliffe, thus alienating Ferelden's monarchy. If the Inquisitor chooses to recruit the rebel mages, then Alexius is ousted from Redcliffe and Ferelden's monarch rescinds their offer of sanctuary to the mages, forcing them to join the Inquisition as either full-fledged allies or conscripted prisoners. Otherwise, the Venatori leave Redcliffe with the rebel mages as their conscripts, who later act as [[Corypheus]]' army during the [[In Your Heart Shall Burn|attack]] on [[Haven]].

Ferelden's monarch later asks the Inquisition for help in dealing with the [[Venatori]] in [[Denerim]]<ref>[[Shadows over Denerim]]</ref> and in arranging [[Delicate Negotiations|negotiations]] with [[Orlais]]' ruler after the conclusion of the [[Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts|peace talks]] in [[Halamshiral]].<ref>[[Delicate Negotiations]]</ref>

== Geography ==
[[File:Frostback-0.jpg|thumb|305x305px|Frostback Mountains]]
Ferelden is located in southeast Thedas, itself located in the southern hemisphere. Its climate is harsh and varied.

Dividing Ferelden from Orlais to the west are the [[Frostback Mountains]], where tribes of [[Avvar]] can be found. To the North, the Waking Sea separates it from the [[Free Marches]]. The southeast holds the [[Brecilian Forest]], where clans of [[Dalish|Dalish elves]] can be found (as of 9:30 [[Dragon Age (time period)|Dragon]]). To the far south are the forbidding forests, swamps and eventually tundra of the Korcari Wilds where the [[Chasind]] still live. To the north of the Wilds lie the Southron Hills and the [[Hinterlands]]. The central region of Ferelden contains [[Lake Calenhad]] and [[the Bannorn]]. It is Ferelden's "bread-basket." In the far northern region are the Coastlands, which include more swamps and forests. To the east is the Amaranthine Ocean.

Ferelden has two islands off its northeast coast: one containing the city of Alamar and another named Brandel's Reach. Alamar is considered rather independent of Fereldan politics. This could be explained by the rocky Brandel's Reach reputedly being a haven for raiders, making Alamar an unpopular place to live or visit.<ref>{{BWF|author=[[David Gaider]]|date=2010|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160413024106/http://forum.bioware.com/topic/31563-is-alamar-in-ferelden-or-the-free-marches/|title=Is Alamar in Ferelden or the Free Marches?}}</ref>

== Culture and society ==
[[File:Ferelden clothing.jpg|thumb|200px|Fereldans in cold weather outfits<ref>{{Cite wot|25}}</ref>]]
Ferelden is a relatively temperate nation in the far southeast of Thedas, historically populated by a simple militaristic culture that has only begun to "civilize" in the last few centuries. The [[Orlesian Chantry|Chantry]] is now revered by the 90% of the population.<ref name="prima" /> Fereldan cities are considered virtually anarchic by the standards of most outsiders. The Fereldan desire for freedom has engendered a cultural mistrust of law enforcement, and 'laissez-faire' attitudes in general. 

While the worst offenses are quickly put down by the authorities, many others are ignored and citizens are often left to make their own justice. Petty theft is common, as guardsmen will only go out of their way to deal with serious disruptions. Commerce is given little official scrutiny as long as taxes are paid; businesses such as brothels and gambling halls are not only tolerated, but expected.<ref>''[[Dragon Age: Origins: Prima Official Game Guide]]'', p. 245</ref> 

{{Blockquote|
The [[Fereldans]] are a puzzle. As a people, they are one bad day away from reverting to barbarism. They repelled invasions from [[Tevinter Imperium|Tevinter]] during the height of the Imperium with nothing but [[Mabari|dogs]] and their own obstinate disposition. They are the coarse, wilful, dirty, disorganized people who somehow gave rise to our [[Andraste|prophet]], ushered in an era of enlightenment, and toppled the greatest empire in history.

There are few things you can assume safely in dealing with these people: First, they value loyalty above all things, beyond wealth, beyond power, beyond reason. Second, although they have nothing in their entire country which you are likely to think at all remarkable, they are extremely proud of their accomplishments. Third, if you insult their dogs, they are likely to declare war. And finally, the surest sign that you have underestimated the Fereldans is that you think you have come to understand them.|''[[Orlesian royalty and nobility|Empress]] [[Celene Valmont I|Celene I]] of Orlais, in a letter to her newly appointed ambassador to [[Denerim]]''<ref>[[Codex entry: Culture of Ferelden]]</ref>
}}

=== Social Tiers ===
Ferelden society is descended directly from Alamarri tribal culture and its respect for skill and ability. It is most generally broken up into the nobility and commoners (including [[City Elves|city elves]]). There are also crafters and crafthouses (similar to guilds), who make up a highly valued middle tier between the lowest noble and the highest common classes. They have total power over certain industries in Ferelden.<ref>''[[Dragon Age (tabletop RPG)]]'', Blood in Ferelden, pp. 14.</ref> 

[[File:Fereldan crafters Prima-Guide.jpg|thumb|250px|Fereldan crafters]]
Beneath the crafthouses, the population is subdivided into common classes called "High Freemen" and "Low Freemen." High freemen are comprised of freeholders (land owners), soldiers and other employed individuals. Low freemen are made up of criminals, prostitutes and [[Elf|elves]]. For all that, all freemen are allowed to live and go where they wish, and make a living as they will. There are no serfs in Ferelden; all are paid in coin or barter for their work.<ref>''[[Dragon Age (tabletop RPG)]]'', Core Rulebook, p. 157</ref>

=== Surnames ===
In Ferelden, [[:Category: Fereldan nobility|nobles]] have proper last names, such as [[Howe family|the Howes]] or [[Cousland family|the Couslands]]. Sometimes commoners will have last names that stem from noble lines, foreign origins, land ownership or titles granted to family members in the past.<ref>{{BWF|author=[[David Gaider]]|date=2013|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160413035457/http://forum.bioware.com/topic/402423-the-da-question-thread/|title=The DA Question thread.}}</ref> Otherwise, most Fereldan commoners introduce themselves with a reference to the area they come from or to their trade, e.g. [[Gareth of Oswin]] or [[Lomo Kettlemaker]].<ref>[[Codex entry: Arms of Mac Tir]]</ref><ref name="rpg32">''[[Dragon Age (tabletop RPG)]]'', Player's Guide, set 1, p. 32</ref>

=== Alienage culture ===
{{For|a more in-depth discussion of city elves|Alienage}}
Like many countries in Thedas, Ferelden has a large population of elves who are segregated from the rest of society and live in walled-off alienages. Unlike in other countries, however, elves in Ferelden have rights and are paid for their work. Those who do not find positions of service outside of the alienage are unable to achieve high-paying jobs, but most seem to feel that they have better lives in Ferelden than in other countries, because at least they are free and among family who look out for each other.<ref>''[[Dragon Age (tabletop RPG)]]'', Core Rulebook, pp.159.</ref>

=== Importance of dogs ===
[[File:Mabari War Dogs.gif|thumb|A mabari war dog]]
Visitors and travelers to Ferelden are often curious about local attitudes toward dogs. Throughout Thedas dogs are employed in hunting game, keeping barns and storehouses free of vermin, herding livestock and guarding homes; in the mountains they may even be used as beasts of burden. Fereldans, however, show a particular appreciation for canine companions. The origin of this is tangled up in mythology.<ref name="codexdogsinferelden">[[Codex entry: Dogs in Ferelden]]</ref>

[[File:TSG inside cover.jpg|thumb|The Mabari is the symbol of Ferelden royalty]]
The ability of normal dogs to detect a [[werewolf]] even when it is in a [[human]] guise is what first led Fereldans to adopt dogs as indispensable companions in every farmhold. Fereldan lore is full of instances where werewolves plagued the countryside<ref>[[Codex entry: Werewolf]]</ref> and the humans of Ferelden had to undergo many wars to eliminate the werewolf threat.<ref>[[Codex entry: Wolf]]</ref>

Dogs are common in Ferelden, both amongst the nobles as well as the common folk and mercenaries such as the Ash Warriors. Keeping dogs is a tradition kept since the times before Ferelden, started by the Alamarri tribes. The barbarians were introduced to [[mabari]] by the [[magister]]s, who brought the dogs with them during their invasion of the land; many of the dogs decided to stay in the occupied lands after their original masters were defeated.<ref>According to [[Fenris]].</ref> Mabari are said to have been bred from the [[wolf|wolves]] who served the Alamarri hero [[Dane]] and anyone they are paired with are believed by Fereldans to be a person of worth. Furthermore, prominent Fereldan families think that they have a kinship with the mabari because according to Fereldan folklore, they are descendants of Dane, who was reputed to be a werewolf.<ref name="codexdogsinferelden" /> In addition to that, the mabari have also become an essential part of Fereldan military strategy and a formidable asset to Fereldan armies.<ref>[[Codex entry: Mabari War Hound]]</ref>

=== Food ===
Fereldan food is usually described as hearty and humble, and is not known for being particularly appetizing. Fereldans are known for their ripe cheeses and rich pies,<ref>[[Codex entry: On Avvar Cuisine]]</ref> as well as for their frequent use of and enthusiasm for turnips; presumably leading to the "Fereldan turnip" insult often levied against them. In Fereldan cuisine, turnips are eaten in a variety of ways, both raw and cooked. This include boiling, mashing, roasting, steaming, stir-frying or adding them into pies, soups, and stews.<ref>''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 93</ref> One such a dish is turnip and mutton pie, a dish widely available in Fereldan taverns<ref>''[[Note: The Rusted Horn's Menu]]''</ref> that consists of turnips, chunks of lamb, and a buttery crust. Most Fereldans find it to be a comforting meal.<ref>''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 93</ref> Another pie that Ferelden is known for is their [[Codex entry: Feast Day Fish|Fluffy Mackerel Pudding]], a combination of mackerel, eggs, onions, and celery that is often eaten on [[Calendar|Feast Day]] and referred to as [[Codex entry: Feast Day Fish|Feast Day Fish]].<ref>''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 23</ref>

Aside from turnips, other common crops in Ferelden are barley, wheat, lentil, eggplant, potato, rhubarb, and strawberries. Grains such as rice are an imported rarity in Ferelden.<ref>''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 43</ref> Ram is prized for its cheese, meat, and wool,<ref>[[Codex entry: Ram]]</ref> in Fereldan culture. Fereldans will often eat chicken, druffalo, hart, venison, and nug as other meat sources. One type of traditional farmer's pie uses nug bacon and eggs.<ref>''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 87</ref>

One popular food in Ferelden is pickled eggs; this salty, sour snack is served in nearly every tavern and are known as a common folk remedy for any ailments, ranging from aches and pains to fever, severed appendages, and when one is beginning to feel the early stages of illness.<ref>{{Cite wot2|285}}</ref> Fereldan people are quick to recommend this remedy if they encounter another person who looks noticeably unwell, or when approached for health advice. Pickled eggs were even given to [[Cullen]] when he was suffering from [[lyrium]] withdrawal. However, the efficacy of these eggs as a cure is unknown.<ref>''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 35</ref>

Soups and stews are also a specialty and favorite of Fereldans.<ref>''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 57</ref> Typically, Fereldans prepare their soups and stews in a large pot, and say that the main traits of good stews are that they are simple, modest, and hearty. Examples of such dishes are barley soup,<ref>[[The Crown and Lion]]</ref> Fereldan turnip and barley stew,<ref>{{Cite wot2|288}}</ref> ram stew, turnip stew, turnip-goat stew, and Fereldan potato and leek soup (which is comprised of leeks and potatoes, usually served with a side of toasted bread, though it can also be served with chickpeas toasted to a crouton-like texture instead).<ref>''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 55</ref>

Other common soups are the Fereldan dish of sweet and sour cabbage soup, a warming stew comprised of cabbage, tomatoes, and other vegetables that is typically more solid than liquid and often paired with dark bread. This soup, and cabbage stew, are associated with Fereldans so much that it is almost a stereotype, with an Orlesian theatre group set to play Fereldan characters method-acting by eating lots of it.<ref name=":0">''[[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas]]'', p. 61</ref><ref>''[[Codex entry: A Compendium of Orlesian Theater]]''</ref> Another traditional stew is the Fereldan lamb and pea stew, a popular stew comprised of lamb and peas seen as being almost synonymous with the country.<ref name=":0" /> [[Alistair]], in a dialogue with [[Leliana]], jests that Fereldan cuisine involves throwing all the ingredients in a pot and cooking them for as long as possible, until everything looks grey, bland, and unappetizing, though this is disputed by the chef [[Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas|Devon.]]<ref name=":0" />

As for drinks, ale, beer, wine, and various lagers are commonly found across Fereldan taverns.{{Tabletop RPG material}}Ryott is another staple grain in Ferelden, a fickle plant only capable of being grown in the southern reaches of the nation. It is primarily grown and used to make breads and flour.<ref>''[[Dragon Age (tabletop RPG)]]'' Blood in Ferelden p. 12</ref>

== Legal system ==
Fereldan law is relatively unregulated compared to that of older nations, and is expected on an individual level to be supplemented by one's martial prowess. Indeed, most petty crimes like theft are overlooked by the city guard in Denerim, whose main concern is protecting their posts.<ref name="rpg16">''[[Dragon Age (tabletop RPG)]]'', Player's Guide, set 1, p. 16</ref> Consequently, the common Fereldan should not expect much help fending off criminal activity unless murder or major property damage has occurred.<ref name="rpg16" /> [[Slavery]] is illegal in Ferelden, but criminals still practice it in secret.

There are no laws regulating personal behavior such as bearing arms, drinking, gambling and prostitution. This is not to say that Ferelden is lawless; quite the opposite. The king's seneschal personally appoints arbiters—judges—called "blackhallers" to hear disputes. Blackhallers adjudicate cases from the black granite seneschal's hall in Denerim—hence the name, and in the countryside, sheriffs appointed by the local bann patrol and keep track of upcoming cases for the blackhallers to hear.<ref name="rpg16" />

Given the blackhallers' busy schedules, trials can take some time to occur. A suspect may surrender an item of great value to the local sheriff and be released "on his bond" until the time of the trial rather than waiting in a dungeon. This property will be returned if the suspect returns to be judged. Otherwise, the property is retained by the sheriff and the suspect has the charge of fleeing justice added to their criminal record.<ref name="rpg16" />

As long-term imprisonment is frowned upon in general in Ferelden, punishment is often quick and violent. Common methods include public humiliation, whipping, disfigurement, fines and even executions.<ref name="rpg16" />

There's no firm rule that dictates who rules the household. Fereldans are willful and their families tend to be managed by whoever can. Usually, the oldest child inherits the majority of the property regardless of gender, but there are some cases where a younger brother or sister is named the heir simply because he or she seems more capable.<ref>The [[Human Noble Origin|Human Noble]], for instance, is rumored to be a strong contender to be the next Teyrn of [[Highever]], despite the presence of an [[Fergus Cousland|elder male sibling]].</ref>

== Politics ==
{{Main|Fereldan royalty and nobility}}

Unlike most kingdoms, power does not reside exclusively with the nobility. Rather, it arises from the support of the freeholders and even the king is not the unchallenged ruler. For many centuries the nobility has gathered annually to hold the Landsmeet, a council which functions as the official legislative body of Ferelden and it can even override the king or queen on any matter of law.

The royalty and nobility of Ferelden is divided into several ranks.
* King/Queen
* Prince/Princess
* Teyrn/Teyrna
* Arl/Arlessa
* Bann
* Lord/Lady
* Knight

{{Blockquote|
Some kingdoms ridigly define the rights of vassals and their duty to their liege. In [[Ferelden]], a relatively new kingdom, the arls and arlessas theoretically command their arlings' [[bannorn|banns]] and lords. In practice, those lessers often zealously maintain their independence.

Some Fereldan vassals must be goaded instead of ordered—swayed, not ruled. Vassals owe military obligations to their liege, yet often deny even sworn oaths and signed contracts. In contrast, the vassals expect their liege's protection despite provocation otherwise. A successful Fereldan liege applies force, persuasion, and duplicity in equal measure.|From ''A Guide to Statecraft'', published anonymously<ref>[[Codex entry: Vassals and their Liege]]</ref>
}}

{{Blockquote|To our neighbors, [[Ferelden]] seems utterly chaotic. Unlike other monarchies, power does not descend from our throne. Rather, it rises from the support of the freeholders.

Each freehold chooses the bann or arl to whom it pays allegiance. Typically, this choice is based on proximity of the freehold to the lord's castle, as it's worthless to pay for the upkeep of soldiers who will arrive at your land too late to defend it. For the most part, each generation of freeholders casts its lot with the same bann as their fathers did, but things can and do change. No formal oaths are sworn, and it is not unheard of, especially in the prickly central [[Bannorn]], for banns to court freeholders away from their neighbors—a practice which inevitably begets feuds that last for ages.

Teyrns arose from amongst the banns, warleaders who, in antiquity, had grown powerful enough to move other banns to swear fealty to them. There were many teyrns in the days before [[Calenhad Theirin|King Calenhad]], but he succeeded in whittling them down to only two: [[Gwaren]] in the south, [[Highever]] in the north. These teyrns still hold the oaths of banns and arls who they may call upon in the event of war or disaster, and similarly, the teyrns still hold responsibility for defending those sworn to them.

The arls were established by the teyrns, given command of strategic fortresses that could not be overseen by the teyrns themselves. Unlike the teyrns, the arls have no banns sworn to them, and are simply somewhat more prestigious banns.

The king is, in essence, the most powerful of the teyrns. Although [[Denerim]] was originally the teyrnir of the king, it has since been reduced to an arling, as the king's domain is now all of Ferelden. But even the king's power must come from the banns.

Nowhere is this more evident than during the Landsmeet, an annual council for which all the nobles of Ferelden gather, held for almost three thousand years except odd interruptions during Blights and invasions. The sight of a king asking for—and working to win—the support of "lesser" men is a source of constant wonder to foreign ambassadors.|From ''[[Ferelden: Folklore and History]]'', by Sister [[Petrine]], [[Orlesian Chantry|Chantry]] [[Education|scholar]]<ref name="Politics"/>}}
