Revision as of 07:26, 19 January 2014

For the royal palace in Orzammar, see Orzammar Royal Palace.

The Royal Palace is the ancestral residence of the royal Theirin family, and the seat of power in Ferelden. It is also where the Landsmeet is traditionally held. Ferelden's throne is within the Palace's Landsmeet chamber.

In 9:10 Dragon, inside the throne chamber King Maric Theirin and Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir accepted a group of Grey Wardens led by Genevieve who were presented to him by First Enchanter Remille. They mentioned that a Grey Warden who had knowledge of the location of the remaining Old Gods was captured by the darkspawn and thus Thedas possibly faced the threat of a new Blight. The Grey Warden's last known location was Ortan Thaig and the only known living people who did that was Maric and Loghain in 8:99 Blessed. Loghain flatly refuses to accompany the Grey Wardens and help them find the lost thaig, however much to everyone's surprise Maric accepts to accompany them himself.

The Palace first appears in a cutscene after Teyrn Loghain and his troops return from Ostagar, in which he declares himself as Queen Anora's regent to the assembled nobles. This cutscene is activated by the Warden entering Lothering.

During the Landsmeet quest, the Fereldan Civil War is resolved when the Warden confronts Teyrn Loghain in the Landsmeet chamber, and where, at the Landsmeet's conclusion, Ferelden is again united under one banner.

Finally, the new ruler of Ferelden will be officially coronated in the Royal Palace at the end of the Fifth Blight, during the epilogue.

Enemies

There will be a duel between the Warden (or a champion chosen by the Warden) and Teyrn Loghain. Note that this fight cannot be avoided, and unlike all other companions, Alistair will immediately kill Loghain if he chosen to fight the duel.

Loghain Mac Tir - (Human, Boss)

───────

If the Landsmeet outcome favors Loghain, or the Warden wins the argument but opts to attack Loghain rather than agreeing to a honorable duel, there will be an all out brawl within the chamber. Queen Anora's royal guards will assist whichever side Anora supported during the Landsmeet. Furthermore, the Warden's party will be joined by Redcliffe soldiers, the nobles who supported the Warden, and their soldiers.

Note: This fight is ended by the Grand Cleric when Loghain's health drops to very low levels. At that point the one-on-one duel takes place.

Note: When the health of a noble who assists you in this fight falls below a certain level, he or she will retreat from the chamber along with their troops.
