Acquisition

• Obtained from the family chest in the treasury of Castle Cousland during the quest The Cousland Treasury in the Human Noble Origin.

Trivia

• It can be acquired by a Human Noble Grey Warden, whose ancestor Ardal Cousland used it in battle against the Orlesian invaders of Ferelden. Ardal was slain while defending his king, Vanedrin Theirin. His sacrifice was ultimately in vain, as the king died early in the invasion and didn't manage to repel the Orlesian forces.
