The '''Wending Wood''' is an area of forested slopes and lush greenery, divided by the trade route known as the Pilgrim's Path -- named for the faithful devotees of [[Andraste]] who walk that very road to reach [[Amaranthine]], and who have left ancient relics scattered about the wood to honor Andraste and the [[Maker]]. For centuries, the wood was known as a place of breathtaking beauty and tranquility, but things have changed in recent months: a clan of [[Dalish]] elves has set up camp within the wood, and their proximity to human villages is making the locals uneasy. Even worse, roaming bands of [[darkspawn]] have been seen in the wood, undoubtedly gathering for some nefarious purpose. For now, the people of Amaranthine can only pray that whatever troubles the Wending Wood passes soon.<ref>[http://dragonage.bioware.com/dao/awakening/world/environment/wending_woods "Wending Woods"].

Revision as of 03:00, 6 December 2018

The Wending Wood is an area of forested slopes and lush greenery, divided by the trade route known as the Pilgrim's Path -- named for the faithful devotees of Andraste who walk that very road to reach the City of Amaranthine, and who have left ancient relics scattered about the wood to honor Andraste and the Maker.

Background

The wood was once a home to an Avvar tribe of the Alamarri, and the location of one of the battles between the magisters and the barbarians in the ancient times. The wood was a sacred place of an Avvar god known as Uvolla. For centuries, the wood had been known as a place of breathtaking beauty and tranquility.

Involvement

Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.

In Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, The Warden-Commander travels to the Wending Wood to investigate mysterious goings-on in the area. Multiple caravans of merchants have been attacked recently, and roaming bands of darkspawn have been spotted as well. A clan of Dalish elves has also settled in the area, their proximity to nearby human villages making the locals uneasy.[1] The Warden-Commander finds that the darkspawn are responsible for the attack (and near total destruction) of the Dalish clan. One surviving elven mage had mistakenly believed that humans were responsible for the murders, and dealt out revenge to any humans who wandered into the area. With her help, the Warden-Commander ventures into the Silverite Mine in order to eradicate the darkspawn.
