“Oh! You're a rascal, aren't you? I imagine I'm going to have my hands full.”
Nesiara is the betrothed of the male City Elf Warden.
Background[]
Nesiara is the eldest daughter of a good family from the Highever alienage. She accompanied a trade caravan down from Highever, and has just arrived for a marriage that a matchmaker hired by Cyrion arranged with her family. Cyrion describes her as "quite pretty" and "a veritable genius with crafts", Shianni calls her "beautiful", and Soris refers to her as "a dream come true".
Involvement[]
The Warden is awoken by his cousin Shianni and informed that his arranged wife, Nesiara, has arrived to the Denerim Alienage early. Cyrion tells his son he has already paid the dowry to Nesiara' family.
The Warden meets Nesiara shortly after finding Soris during the A Day for Celebration quest. He has a few moments to converse with her before the wedding begins and is subsequently interrupted. Along with Valora, Shianni, Nola, and an additional unnamed elf bridesmaid, Nesiara is kidnapped by the brutal and sadistic Vaughan, son of the Arl of Denerim, and several of his highborn cronies. To save his future bride and cousin, the Warden is forced to infiltrate the Arl of Denerim's estate and confront Vaughan. They can choose to either kill him or accept his bribe. Upon returning to the alienage, the Warden is conscripted into the Grey Wardens by Duncan. Nesiara's family uses the dowry money to pay for her return trip to Highever.[1]
