Varathorn is the master Dalish craftsman of the Dalish Camp located in the Brecilian Outskirts of Ferelden in Dragon Age: Origins.
Involvement
If the Warden is of Dalish Elf Origin, Varathorn knows him/her and the Warden's father. Regardless, the Warden can trade with Varathorn; he carries an infinite supply of Elfroot, Deathroot, and Toxin Extract.
Varathorn will give the Warden the quest Rare Ironbark, and will offer to craft something from the ironbark should it be acquired. See the quest for details.
Access to the store
If the Clan Attitude is low, Varathorn will refuse to barter with you. See Dalish Camp for further details.
Note: Should the Warden be denied access to the store, it is possible to regain access by giving Varathorn the ironbark without requesting an item in exchange.
Inventory
Varathorn carries unlimited Deathroot, Toxin Extract and Elfroot.
Initial
After three main quests
Note: The Silver Brooch is no longer available after the Warden has achieved two main quests
Notes
- Varathorn drops Varathorn's Dar'Misu and Elfrope if he dies.
Quotes
- Varathorn: You're not smelting ore like a durgen'len! This is living wood! It requires patience and delicate hands, not more heat!
- Oghren: Hmph. Elves and their wood-shaping. It's unnatural. Why use wood when you've got perfectly good metal and stone?
- Varathorn: Spoken like a true child of the stone, my friend.
- Oghren: Who you calling a child, old man?
Trivia
- The Toolset contains an item called Varathorn's Gems, which seem to be unused during gameplay and unobtainable under normal circumstances.
- In the Dalish Elf Origin quest, if the Warden tells Tamlen to talk so it will calm him down, he asks why the Warden is accompanying him, since he/she was supposed to have been with Varathorn.
