The Kirkwall chantry is the seat of the Chantry in Kirkwall.
Background
The Kirkwall chantry towers above the opulant estates of Hightown, rivalled by the Viscount's Keep only. It serves as a symbol as much as it does a place of worship, a symbol of the Chantry's stranglehold over Kirkwall, and it's iron grip on the mages and citizens alike.
Built following the collapse of Tevinter influence in Kirkwall as a result of the slave rebellion, the construction was completed primarily by the Orlesian Empire during their rather long reign in this region following their expansion into northern Thedas.
Involvement
The chantry is home to Grand Cleric Elthina, the voice of the Divine in Kirkwall. It also houses the exiled prince of Starkhaven, Sebastian Vael. One of the forbidden tomes from the Forbidden Knowledge quest can also be found here on the upper left side of the building.
