| − | The '''Silent Sisters''' is a fighting order of female dwarven [[Warrior caste|warriors]] in [[Orzammar]] dedicated in unarmed combat. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Background == |
||
| − | This order was founded by [[Astyth|Astyth the Grey]], a [[Dwarf|dwarven]] warrior, who first fought for women's right to be soldiers. When no one listened to her words, she cut out her tongue and dedicated herself to training until she won a Grand Proving bare-handed. She eventually became a [[Paragon]] at 1:95 [[Divine Age|Divine]] after she sacrificed her life for the [[Dwarven royalty|king]].<ref>{{Cite wot|71}}</ref> |

||
| − | The women who join this order cut out their own tongues in honor of the sacrifice of Astyth the Grey, the first female Paragon of the warrior caste. The Silent Sisters always keep the knife they use to cut out their tongues, though they never use it as a weapon.<ref name="Prima Guide">''[[Dragon Age: Origins: Prima Official Game Guide]]'', Collector's Edition, p. 370</ref> When they fight in [[Provings]] all Silent Sisters dress and look alike.<ref>According to [[Varick]]'s description about the Silent Sisters.</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | They are sworn to never make a sound, even when they experience great pain, and thus are rendered mute. Silent Sisters have been known to use a form of sign language.<ref>As Utha does in the novel ''[[Dragon Age: The Calling]]'' and in ''[[Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening]]''.</ref> Subsequently they require translators, such as [[Farinden]]. As they are viewed as extremists even among women, not all female warriors are members of this order.<ref name="Prima Guide"/> |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Joining == |
||
| − | A dwarf's [[caste]] plays no part in whether one can join the Silent Sisters as they accept all women so long as they can prove themselves.<ref name="Prima Guide"/> The joining process itself is called "blooding". This is completed when a recruit takes her vows of silence by cutting out her own tongue and defeating opponents in the Provings. Silent Sisters cannot be defeated in these matches so they fight until death.<ref>According to the [[Proving Master]] when the [[Dwarf Commoner Origin]] Warden encounters and afterwards defeats [[Lenka]].</ref> |

||
| − | The Silent Sisters are ardent supporters of the current royal [[House Aeducan]] and subsequently support Prince [[Bhelen Aeducan]] as the next [[Dwarven royalty|king]] after the death of King [[Endrin Aeducan]]. The [[Dwarf Commoner Origin|Dwarf Commoner]] will fight and kill [[Lenka]] during the [[Proving Loyalties]] quest, while [[the Warden]] can fight [[Hanashan]] in round three if the former fights as the champion of Lord [[Pyral Harrowmont|Harrowmont]] as part of the quest [[A Lord's Trust: The First Task]].}} |
