Ilen

“Dalish crafting is second to none, I assure you.”

Ilen is a Dalish Elf who works as craftsman and merchant of the Sabrae clan.

Involvement[]

Dragon Age: Origins[]

If spoken to at the Dalish Camp Master Ilen speaks of the battles between the Dalish and the Clayne. He can also be persuaded to part with a bow of his own making for free.

Dragon Age II[]

Master Ilen relocates to Sundermount with the rest of the clan. The clan is close to Kirkwall, meaning travelers come through often. Because of this, Ilen has continued his role as a trader for outsiders passing through.

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age II.

During the quest A New Path, if Hawke does not accept responsibility for Merrill's actions, the party will be forced to kill the Dalish hunting party, as well as Master Ilen along with the rest of the camp.

Quotes[]

Dragon Age II[]

"This path has been of your own choosing, Merrill. A path that has saddened the clan greatly."

Dialogue[]

Ilen: "Hahren Paivel. How does the day find you?"
Paivel: "I'm an old man, Master Ilen. I have an old man's troubles. How are this lot doing?"
Ilen: "They'll learn woodshaping. I may have to crack their skulls to get the knowledge inside, but they'll learn."
Apprentice: "Oh, that's reassuring."

Trivia[]

As is made obvious by his asking after him, he is known to Master Varathorn, the craftsman of Zathrian's clan.
An overheard conversation in Act 3 suggests that Ilen is unhappy his clan is still at Sundermount and plans to leave soon with his apprentices, with or without the rest of the clan.
