- Battle of River Dane: A pivotal battle in the Fereldan Rebellion in which two legions of chevaliers crossing the river were ambushed and slain, the defeat such that the Orlesian Emperor Florian abandoned his support to King Meghren as he saw little point in squandering so many resources to secure what had become an ungovernable and rebellious province.
Notes
