Ram (creature)

Rams are animals frequently encountered roaming throughout southern Thedas, particularly across Ferelden. They are a species of sheep, notable for their large, curved horns, resembling that of an ibex. Their coat color is a mix of white, grey, and brown.

Background[]

The ram is a marvelous creature. Its wool makes the best lining for winter coats this side of the mountains. The horns and bones can be crushed into powder and mixed with the soil for a healthy crop, or charred and ground into ink powder. The hide makes a good cover in a window against the winds. You can burn the dung in a pinch. Melt down its fat for candles. I haven't even mentioned the meat! With a full-grown ram, you could make a stew big enough for a village and have enough left over for a week.
So there'll be no more complaining about "being paid in sheep" for your work during the harvest. With that ram and a few ewes, you can start your own flock. You're lucky to have them handed to you instead of needing to go and tame a wild one. Listen to your father for once: take care of those animals, and they'll take care of you.

Dragon Age: Inquisition[]

Rams can be found in various areas of Ferelden. While in the Hinterlands, the refugees at the Crossroads are short on food and a hunter will ask the the Herald to assist the refugees by finding food as part of the quest Hunger Pangs.

The Herald can also assist one of the residents of Redcliffe Village by helping him find his lost domesticated ram by the name of Lord Woolsley as part of the aptly-named quest, the Ballad of Lord Woolsley.
