“Enchantment?”


Sandal is the 'simple' adopted son of Bodahn, the traveling dwarven merchant.

Background

Sandal and his adoptive father are surfacers, dwarves who have left Orzammar for the surface to have dealings with humans and other species. Although Sandal appears to have limited mental capacity, usually replying with one word answers when engaged in conversation, he excels at enchanting. Sandal can enchant weapons if you provide the runes. Bodahn claims the Circle of Magi declared Sandal a savant.

Sandal is not Bodahn's biological son, but was found in one of Bodahn's many journeys into the Deep Roads and is since cared for by his 'father'. According to Bodahn, Sandal may be lyrium addled due to the exposure to lyrium in the Deep Roads.

Dragon Age II


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age II.


Bodahn and Sandal makes an appearance in Dragon Age II, playing the same role in Origins as a vendor and enchanter. They accompany Hawke and their companions on Bartrand Tethras' Deep Roads expedition, providing supplies for the party.

You first meet back up with Sandal at the Dwarven Merchant's Guild in Hightown. You also encounter him in the Deep Roads. He walks away and you find him like you did in Fort Drakon. Surrounded by dead Darkspawn and in front of a frozen Ogre.

After you get back the Amell Estate he sets up shop there with Bodahn, even giving you his "Special Rune".

Bodahn will mention the Witch Hunt DLC saying they left the mage tower where Sandal was researched for help, because he didn't like their greedy eyes. As if they wanted to keep him forever, he left beforehand.

He last appears in the Gallows selling all of Bodahn's wares and enchantments after "slaying" several Mages, Templars, Demons and even a giant Pride Demon.

Trivia

  • Sandal's over-exposure to lyrium in the Deep Roads may have caused him to gain both his ability as an enchanter and possibly some other 'magical side-effects'.
  • When he appears in Fort Drakon the corpses surrounding him belong exclusively to darkspawn, and he is covered in blood (if you have this option turned on). No defenders of other races are present (alive or among the bodies) which points to Sandal doing all the killing. How he did it is unknown.

  • When he appears in Dragon Age 2 he'll be found along with plenty of Darkspawn Corpses which according to him he blew up with an enchantment, next to him however there is a frozen Ogre. According to Sandal was not done by an enchantment, which points to theories of Sandal being the only "dwarven mage" of sorts.
