“Modest in temper, bold in deed” ―House Trevelyan motto


House Trevelyan is a noble family from Ostwick in the Free Marches.

Background[]

Originating in the dual-walled Free Marcher city of Ostwick, the Trevelyans are a noble house holding the title of bann[2] in the teyrnir of Ostwick. The Trevelyans are noted for their piety and connections within the Chantry and the Templar Order. Younger members of the family are often expected to follow a career in service of the Chantry either as a member of the Chantry itself or as a Templar, regardless of their personal feelings or motivations.[3] Many members of the family presently serve as members of the chantry and the Trevelyans are reliably on a first name basis with most of the Chantry in Ostwick.

The Trevelyans have relatives among the nobility of Nevarra[citation needed] and the Tevinter Imperium, including House Pavus.[4] The Trevelyans might also maintain a relationship with the Montilyet family of Antiva.[5]

Involvement[]

Dragon Age: Inquisition.


In 9:41 Dragon, several members of House Trevelyan attended a Chantry conclave seeking to put an end to the Mage-Templar War. Included among the delegation was the youngest child of Bann Trevelyan, who was sent to assist their relatives or, if a mage, formed a part of the Mage delegation.

If the Inquisitor is a human:
After a cataclysmic event, Trevelyan ended up becoming the Inquisitor, leader of the reformed Inquisition. Soon after, distant relatives of Inquisitor Trevelyan began using their association to the Inquisitor to brandish threats of using the Inquisition against their political rivals. In a few war table operations, the Inquisition responds to silence the mountebanks[6] and also to prevent these distant relations from becoming a nuisance.[7][8][9]
