The Storm Coast is a region in Ferelden located in the north western portion of the country.
Background
The Storm Coast is a sparsely-populated stretch of shoreline along The Waking Sea. Ancient dwarven ruins dot the landscape which have been abandoned since the Divine Age as they were forced to seal the Deep Roads due to darkspawn. Storm Coast used to be very rich in minerals which the ancient dwarves mined[1] and they also used the subterranean port of Daerwin's Mouth to trade with the Imperium.[2] The large statue at Morrin's Outlook used to serve as a marker for incoming ships coming to trade with the dwarves.[3]
Involvement
The Storm Coast has become the home to a troublesome group of religious inspired bandits, the Blades of Hessarian. There have also been reports of darkspawn sightings in the area and for some reason a number of boats with Templar Order insignia have washed up along the shore.

Notes
- During the first visit of the Inquisitor on the Storm Coast there could be seen a fighting between a Giant and High Dragon. This is the only opportunity to see a giant on the Storm Coast. The fight starts when you discover the zone, no matter where you are when you discover it. It's entirely possible to not even see them fighting and eventually have the Giant codex mysteriously unlock and the Giant's loot show up at your feet, wherever you may be in that zone, once the Dragon defeats the Giant.
- The Rebel Mage from A Glowing Key quest can be encountered multiple times, even after the quest is complete.
- Depending on player choices, it is possible to witness three-way fights involving Red Templars, Darkspawn, and the Blades of Hessarian.
