House Ortan is a noble house which was founded by Paragon Ortan and was based out in Ortan Thaig.
Background[]
A prominent member of House Ortan was Caridin, who created many things during his time and eventually rose up to Paragon status for creating the Anvil of the Void; he thus left House Ortan to found his own house. The house was formally declared extinct four hundred years ago during the Fourth Blight[1], when the Ortan Thaig fell to the darkspawn.
However, Orta is a surviving member of House Ortan, although she requires evidence to prove she is a true descendant.
If the Warden helps Orta during the Lost to the Memories quest and finds and gives back to her the Ortan Records, her noble house is re-established.
Known members[]
- Paragon Ortan – a Paragon and founder of House Ortan; he composed a grand epic of the Seven Brothers and the Ortanic Symphony; [2] his statue can be found in the Orzammar Hall of Heroes
- Caridin Ortan – a smith of House Ortan who left the house in order to found his own house, when he became a Paragon for inventing the Anvil of the Void; other sources however claim that he was part of the smith caste

Notes[]
- If Paragon Caridin creates the crown for Orzammar's next king as part of A Paragon of Her Kind quest, he uses the ancient seal of House Ortan on the crown instead of the seal of his own house. See here.
