Involvement


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.


If the Dwarf Noble decides to watch the Provings held in their honor during The Nobles' Feast, the Proving Trainer will approach them during the first fight.

Speaking with him can reveal some of Gorim's background: he was never trained to duel because his father thought it would be a waste as Gorim was pledged to be the Dwarf Noble's second. The Proving Trainer is complimentary of Gorim's knowledge of battle strategies, which Gorim has helped teach.

The Proving Master is eager to gossip about the scandal that occured in the Proving the previous week. He will tell the willing listener that the Grey Wardens were in Orzammar looking for recruits, and that the Warrior caste arranged a Proving with the goal that the Wardens would recruit the winner. However, the warrior Everd became drunk upon returning from fighting darkspawn, and a casteless dwarf took his armor, wore it, and won the Proving. The imposter was taken to jail and was assumed to be thrown into the Deep Roads. The Warrior caste is in uproar after the incident, and questions are being raised as to how the casteless dwarf got in, and how they learned to fight like that when they had, at best, only old cast-off weapons available to them. This is a reference to the Dwarf Commoner Origin.
