Background
Paragon Garen who was also a King of Orzammar, lived in the early Exalted Age. His son, Tethras, was exiled into the Deep Roads for murdering his sister however it was eventually found that the Carta was in fact responsible, so Garen started sending numerous units of the Legion of the Dead in search of his son.[1] This wasn't successful however and as a tribute to his son, the members of House Garen took the name Tethras after him. Eventually one of these members became a Paragon on his own right and founded the noble House Tethras.[2]
The house has repeatedly risen to prominence as three of its members have held the office of the Steward of the Assembly. However in the second year of the reign of King Endrin Aeducan, Lord Andvar Tethras was found to be fixing Provings and for his affront he was exiled to the surface along with the rest of his house. Its members are now surface dwarves and part of the Dwarven Merchants' Guild. At the start of Dragon Age II, Bartrand Tethras is the head of the house.
