This is the first part of the Fade during the exploration of the Circle Tower during the demon invasion.
Map of the area
Background
The Sloth Demon, encountered on the fourth floor of the Circle Tower, uses its power of sloth to entrap The Warden and company in The Fade. The Sloth Demon constructs separate idyllic dreams created to ensure that The Warden and company will remain under its control, either content or complacent. The Warden's dream is of the Grey Warden stronghold, Weisshaupt Fortress, in a realm where the Darkspawn have been defeated and the threat of the Blight forever ended. The Warden is greeted by 'Duncan' and two other 'Grey Wardens.' 'Duncan' insinuates that he survived the Battle at Ostagar, and recalls that The Warden fought alongside him against the Archdemon, destroying it and defeating the Darkspawn forever. Furthermore, 'Duncan' explains that the Grey Wardens no longer need to fight, and that they now live happily together at Weisshaupt Fortress, where they tell tales and sing songs of their triumph over the Darkspawn. 'Duncan' insists that The Warden take a rest; The Warden may comply, but if so, The Warden will remain trapped in the dream. Questioning 'Duncan's' authenticity, or any other noncompliance will result in 'Duncan' and the 'Grey Wardens' attacking The Warden. Only by killing these disguised demons can The Warden gain access to the Fade Pedestal.
