You can't, no. At the end, the Couslands (Fergus) reclaim it, but you don't actually go there. Which is a shame yea. But I think there was a mod that allowed you to take itback by force and make it like a pseudo HQ.

Can you say "Would make a nice DLC later"? I can, assuming all the bugs are taken care of first

A return to Highever would make for a good DLC, especially post-Origins.

I doubt we'll see a return to Highever as DLC (much as I might like it), if only because there are 5 other origins out there, all of which would miss out on this.

Fergus was injured at Ostagar and spent over a year trying to make it out of the wilds. Spoiler...
He says at the post coronation that by the time he had made his way back to Ferleden, the pc was leading the armies against the darkspawn at Denerim.

Who says they were missing out on anything at all?
As far as content goes for origin stories, I would dare say that the Human Noble was one of the least embellished, if not the absolute most, origin in the game. Not only did all other origins most likely get more kills as well as cooler enemies to fight, but you even got to have an extra visit with your origin characters BEFORE the post-coronation ceremony. Only the Human Noble had to wait until the very friggin end of the game to see his companion, in this case Fergus.
Making "Return to Highever" as a DLC, regardless of origin, is merely a way to make up for the loss of content supplied to the Human Noble. Though I could see something of this happening chronologically before Awakening, where the Warden travels with whoever wishes to tag along, including Fergus, to finding some of reclaimed Highever taken over by a small group of the advanced darkspawn. Slaying them all would not only prepare the Warden for this new ordeal, but regardless of origin, might also spill forth a little bit more lore of the game that others might not be able to learn otherwise.

Am I the only one who found it strange that it took Fergus over a year to recover? Don't get me wrong, I love Fergus and I'm very happy he survived, but it just seems...weird to me that it took him that long to recover. And was he the only one who survived out of his troops?
I've finished DA three or four times now, and I'm still finding things that I hadn't on other playthroughs. I've gone through the human noble storyline the most, and my last time was the first time I actually asked Dairren what he's heard about my character. He said that the PC is highly respected among the kingdom, stronger, and thought to be more suited to take over Highever than Fergus! I was shocked that he said that! (I was playing as a female at the time, so maybe he was just blowing smoke up my skirt?) I just find it surprising that Fergus doesn't hold some kind of grudge over his younger sibling, especially after he/she became a Warden. I guess if he doesn't, (which he didn't seem to at all) it just goes to show how well the Couslands functioned as a family.
Hopefully, though, if we still play as our original wardens in the sequel, they will let us travel to Highever. I wonder if Fergus has moved on in his life and remarried.

O__o Really? Wow. I only wanted to do HN runs for the royal endings...... and yeaah.... I had NO idea you could sleep with them either... especially when I was a dude... and slept with the guy.... I was like....wooooah......
Maybe unlike the DN origin... Fergus doesn't care about rulership??
Fergus will rock as the new Teryn of Highever anyways IMO

I am confused as hell right now... Just where are you all getting the idea or notion that it took a year? Is there something that I am not being told here?

I'm not sure about the HN origin but
Mage origin, Wynn says something about it being a year since you left the tower.
And DC, someone mentions they saw you in last years proving.

If you play the mage origin and you talk to Wynne in camp she'll say that it's been over a year since you left the tower. And while it may not seem like a long time when you're traveling over the map if you were to actually travel as much as you do in game (and on foot no less) it would take a long time.

The battle of Denerim takes place a year-ish after you are recruited. Wynne confirms it by saying something like it has been a year since _____ in one of her dialogues.
I could see him healing for months if he had like a broken leg or something since medicine was sub par even if they had magic it would be Chasind magic which who knows how good that is lol. Then travel time out of the wilds no telling how deep he was in them since the chasind themself were hiding from the Blight ravaging the wilds, so I can see a year being reasonable

I can see it as a DLC for anyone. Sure it might be more meaningful to a HN but they could make one with the King/Queen taking back Cousland Castle. Sending in your party since the armies were so descimated after the Siege of Denerim.

Fergus said it took a couple of weeks to get out of Kocari and by then you were on the march to Denerim. Something like that, which didn't make any sense.

And, if you're a male DN, and sleep with one or both of the noble hunters, when you get back to Orzammar, you're a daddy. Even if Orzammar is the first quest-line that you do.

Jestina - if Fergus says it took him 2 weeks to get out of the Korcari Wilds then he means it took him 2 weeks to get out of the Wilds and back into Ferelden after he recovered enough to actually travel. And by then the armies were already marching to Denerim so there's no way he could get from the southernmost edge of Ferelden to Denerim all the way in the north in time to help. Assuming he was even fully recovered he couldn't travel fast enough.
He could have had broken bones or internal injuries compounded by infection or fevers that would take a long time to heal even if the Chasind used magic which they may not even have.

Hmmmmm.... Well damn.... Doesn't feel like a year to me though.. I was kinda hoping a couple months tops..
Oh well. I am still going with that. I might be called a Geijing for my beliefs, as Leliana is for her belief in the Maker, but screw it all! Muahaha!!!
HA
good luck on that....

As much as I share a bit of your passion, it doesn't matter. No matter what you or others say about it, Bioware is SET on what order they will make deadlines. What makes it even worse is that there are not enough people who share that same passion you do.

I always think he was possibly held prisoner by some Chasind Witch. Fergus was pretty hot.

Fergus said that he was injured and had a fever. This means infection. He said it took him a couple of weeks to recover enough to escape the Chasind. He then had to make his way out of the wilds that was filled with darkspawn, swooping barbarians, ravenous wolves, cannibals, etc. Since he did not have a guide to get him through this safely, it could very well have taken the better part of a year to get back to Ferelden. You also have to consider that the South is much colder than the north. He would had to have found shelter for the worst part of the winter. This means staying stationary for a couple months at least.

My idea for a DLC is that Howe left troops there and they go back and decimate his troops and you either find the remains and give them a proper burial or you reclaim some treasure.

If anyone here has a PC version of DA:O, there's a mod for returning to Castle Cousland here:
