If Shale survived:
After the blight ended, Shale traveled with Senior Enchanter Wynne from the Circle of Magi to Orlais where she was involved in the revolt at the White Spire which marked the outbreak of the Mage-Templar War.


Eventually House Cadash was exiled from Orzammar several generations before the mid Dragon Age, for reasons known only to the Shaperate. A member of this organization refers to Cadash of being feared long before it's exile and their "offensive" attempt to find information about a War golem from the First Blight was seemingly the last straw.[2] House Cadash eventually became a prominent crime family of the Carta operating across various city-states in the Free Marches. Since then House Cadash has come to specialize in smuggling Lyrium across Thedas.

Dragon Age: Inquisition.


In 9:41 Dragon, a Cadash dwarf was sent to spy on the Chantry conclave at the Temple of Sacred Ashes seeking to put an end to the Mage-Templar War, since the conclave would have an enormous impact on the demand for lyrium.

After a cataclysmic event they ended up becoming the Inquisitor, leader of the reformed Inquisition, if chosen by the player.
