Interesting, so Dwyn was supposed to be your nemesis in that origin.

My Aeducan- Game-wise just hit circle tower. Will end up in a romantic relationship with Alistair and put Anora on the throne. Estatic she's basically free from the cuthroat politics of Orzzamar she wishes Behlen no hard feelings and happily continues adventurning with her boyfriend and her pals until the next crazy comes along.



My Brosca- Will end up in a relationship with Zevran. May or may not make Alistair the king. She was born a nobody, but will be dammed if Alistair gives up his rightful birthright. Distrusts Anora.



After getting her honors and presumably status to Warrior Caste... she'll happily enter the Provings for real, win again probably and then take Rica and her nephew Endrin to the surface and have some fun time with Zevran and Leliana

I don't think the heir to the throne can just leave for the surface. Bhelen's freak so it would need to be kidnapping.

this^

Rica hinted when you spoke to her when you return to Orzammar that her visitations to the nursery is limited to begin with, which is ...sad, really :( especially considering how much it's obvious that she loves her child.

saaaaay what?! Behlen's so paranoid he won't anyone see the kid?



Uh- No. Rica's sibling went from castless to warrior caste correct? Plus hero of ferelden, slayer of the archdemon and is a grey warden.



My PC is definitely seeing her nephew.

nonono, what Sarah meant is that no way would little Endrin be taken to the surface. Too much risk.

It's a scandal if someone leaves for the surface.  In a sense, you're abandoning the stone.  You can't just stroll out and go shopping. =p The surface dwarves sneer at this attitude because if it wasn't for surface dwarves, there wouldn't be any supplies going in and out of Orzammar. Lame, but that's how the social structure works.

Being a Grey Warden is a huge honor and the king decreed long ago that any dwarf who joined the wardens retained their caste. If you're on official Orzammar business, then that's different.

You can talk to Leske on your Brosca to ask about this in detail, to find out why it's such a big deal that Duncan is at the Provings.

Ahhh got it. Wonder why I miss all these dialogues. my DFN is really.... intrigued at the surface thus far- especially the night sky in camp...



how come there's no dialogue with that? I mean... you spend your entire life underground... adn then BOOM you're on the surface.....that'd be a tad jarring....

Why does everyone want their dwarves to stay on the surface? I mean, I know that my DC was pissed that even as a GW she still had people calling her 'brand' but my DN? Loves Orzammar and probably overly so. If Harrowmont's King she's spending most of her time in Orzammar (aside from special occasions like, say, rebuilding the Wardens for Awakening which took a few months at most) putting her House back together and making sure to succeed Harrowmont. If Bhelen's King then she's going to take full advantage of being a Paragon, watch out for poisoned food, and make sure to occasionally raise Bhelen's blood pressure like a good sister should.

Brosca only knows Dust Town and hates that nobles kiss her boots now she's paragon. She wants to see the world, and can you blame her?

Aeducan spends a lot of her time in Orzammar, I'd say half a year? She's still a Grey Warden. I need to make another more cheery Brosca who is like a male Rica, he'll probably return and embarass his own house by singing on the streets still for money.

Not to mention that all my dwarves have become Paragons. Of course they're going to stay in Orzmmar as much as possible (or the Deep Roads or Kal Shirol). As near as I can tell, if you, as Paragon, compliment some street vendor's fried nuglet on a stick, everyone in Orzammar will be lining up to try it the next day.

You just can't let status like that go to waste. I mean Branka did, but Branka was certifiable.

DC being a Paragon means that Rica should no longer have 'restrictions' on seeing her son since she's a noble, too. She still couldn't take him to the surface, though.

This is what I picture my Aeducan doing. Going back home with Gorim. But I picture her keeping in touch with the wardens and searching the memories and stuff for info on the darkspawn. And all my characters are searching for the cure to the taint, and I expect Bolana would search harder since she is going to be married to a normal person who she wants to have a nice long life with.

Edit: And she loves any oppurtunity to cause her brother some headaches, he should get used to it since he is King lol

For safety reasons, as a precaution. Imagine the scandal if the heir to the throne fell into the sky? His little toes aren't big enough for him to hold onto the ground.

Oh, my DN would prefer not to be on the surface. In fact, I like to think of her taking command to reclaim the lost thiags. The darkspawn is an ongoing battle and she'd be in the thick of that, leaving the ruling to Harrowmont. I don't have a scenario for when Harrowmont dies because I don't know if Bioware ever intends for us to become king/queen. It's just as likely that we'd help appoint the next ruler instead. But GW duties = leaving for the surface as required such as recruiting in Awakening, etc. Plus I'd make a sidetrip to find Alistair again. Barring that, I'd rather be fighting back the darkspawn just like Kardol. (Kardol is so dreamy.)



Brosca's been trying to get out of Orzammar all her life. Would rather be on the surface where the brand means nothing. Might reevaluate her opinion of Bhelen drastically reforms the caste system (like clean up Dust Town or let the commoners hang out in the noble area, whatever).

I think it's also for practical reasons as many people (especially lower castes) who go up to the surface find that they like it a lot better up there with the lack of castes and less interference from nobles on how they run their smithy/store/whatever and so if there were less severe penalties then Orzammar would have to basically lose most of its lower castes or change the way they treat them.

this! Plus my Brosca has a lecherous Antivan to keep restrained.

Yeah, I knew there was something off about Dwyn because he was surrounded by human commoners with tattoo markings on their faces and he was the only dwarf in Redcliffe. I mean, sure, he's a surfacer, but it was just odd considering there weren't any other dwarves around.

What happens to Rica if you go with Harrowmont but aren't a DC so don't have Harrowmont take care of her? She seemed more upset than just her lover not becoming King would warrant so I'm guessing that she's either taking the betrayal really, really badly (even though you do watch out for her), blames you for Bhelen attacking at the Assembly and getting killed, or her position in the household is gone.

oh you better believe she's flushed out the palace as soon as Bhelen is dead. I need to finish the drawing I did of Rica leaving with baby Endrin in tow. I have a feeling it does depend on what your Aeducan does, so I guess you could fanfic that. I had a vague idea of my Aeducan banishing her to the surface with 10 sovereigns and telling her never to return, but eh.
