Herren is a merchant who lives and works together with his boyfriend Wade in a shop called Wade's Emporium in Denerim, just south of the central marketplace.

Background

Herren is the merchant working at Wade's Emporium in Denerim. Wade own his business, but his unrelenting perfectionism and quirkiness had left him with few customers, forcing him to hand over the sales to Herren in order to avoid going out of business altogether. The arrangement has proven beneficial, and Wade can concentrate on his smithing while Herren makes them money.

Wade and Herren act as a comedy relief, and it has been confirmed that they are indeed a couple.

In Dragon Age: Origins, Herren can be found at their shop in Denerim, where he sells a number of items. In order to obtain most of Wade's specialty drakeskin and dragonbone armor, the Warden must offer the necessary materials after speaking to Herren.

Awakening

In Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, Herren shows up along with Wade at Vigil's Keep right after the introductory beginning part of the game. Herren himself decided to move the shop there, much to the dismay of Wade, who dislikes the colder climate of Amaranthine and refers to the fortress as "this dreadful turnip keep". It is revealed that Herren was offered a hefty sum from the royal treasury as an enticement.

Bugs

Bug! It may be a bug that Herren does not sell anything after the last battle for Vigil's Keep, but he's still shown as a merchant on the map.

Herren's Tome of Focus does not allow you to read it on the X-BOX 360 version.

A minor error in the script means that when a female warden asks how much it will cost for Drake scale armor, Herren asks Wade, "Pay him?" instead of, "Pay her?".

Quotes

• “Thank you, dwarf. Your fine point has made my life so much... richer."
• "You'd better be very proud, Wade. We can't afford any more flights of fancy."
• "It's fine, truly. It's a work of art. Here, wear it well. Now kindly leave."
• "You just don't know when to quit--"

Trivia

In Swedish Herren means "The Lord".

Herren is also the German plural form of Herr, which would be the German equivalent of Mister.
