Changes: Pyral Harrowmont

Revision as of 14:13, 31 December 2010

House Harrowmont is one of the oldest noble houses, as old as Orzammar itself. As King Endrin Aeducan's most trusted advisor, Lord Pyral Harrowmont is well known for being an able administrator, and the author of many compromises in the ever-warring Assembly. Harrowmont is a traditionalist and truly believes that Orzammar will be stronger if it sticks to the old ways.

Involvement

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.

Harrowmont is one of the two candidates for the throne of Orzammar, the other being Prince Bhelen. The Warden must choose to support one of these candidates during A Paragon of Her Kind.

If the Warden says they will support him, the first task he gives the Warden is A Lord's Trust: The First Task, in which the Warden must fight in the Provings. After this, he asks for Jarvia to be eliminated. This can be done by completing Entering Jarvia's Hideout.

If the Warden joins forces with Bhelen, when he ascends to the throne, he will order Harrowmont executed. It can later be heard from criers, "News of the hour: Lord Harrowmont arrested, pending execution. Epic fail."

Epilogue

If you choose to support Harrowmont, later you will discover in the epilogue that his reign was troubled, and that he eventually fell ill - likely from poison - and died.
If you choose to support Harrowmont and sided with Branka he uses the golems to put down Bhelen's rebellions and lives.

Quotes

"Your father made me swear on his deathbed that you would not succeed him." (to Bhelen)
