I am playing a female dwarf noble (the one in my avatar), so I thought it would be fun to add her diary here. Even better, I just finished the origin, so I could start from scratch and write the diary all the way through the game and dlc. In theory. right now I have no idea how long it will be.
***
Dear diary,
Well, I guess here we go. I was destined to rule the entire dwarven queendom, if I hadn't had an elder brother. 'course, he might have an... accident, but you know me. I like to do things my own way. Hiding in the dark isn't for me. (hehe... hiding in the dark... I live underground...) A lady I may be, but I know how to kick some butt. Specially darkspawn butt.
Well, fate would it otherwise, it seems. Here I was, getting preparing for a big fight tomorrow when dad told me I was to receive a medal or something. Not sure, it's just the stupid traditions and all that crap. I swear, when I rule this place, things will change! I might even let the surfacers down here again. With certain rules, of course. Wouldn't want them to forget their place, you know. Not that I'm into politics much, but hell if I will let some stupid nobody try to claim the throne from me! The only one who could is my brother, and I have made some plans for that jerk... Not that I would want to do anything yet, but fate would it otherwise.
Before I knew what was really going on, I was being sent on a secret mission instead of to the fight. Seems I wasn't the only one there, as I got betrayed. Twice. Busy day, huh. That ended with me having to kill the wrong bother, being cast out and ending up in the human lands. Erk... this place stinks! The sun is too bright, and the people here are idiots! I hate it here! And don't get me started on that so-called king of Ferelden. Queen of Ferelden, more like it. Sheesh... that guy probably won't have any natural hairs, if you know what I mean...
And all this in one day... I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

Thanks! And btw, here be spoilers. Obviously.

Dear Diary,
Oh. My. God! You know they always warn you that the surface is a bad place? You have no idea how right they are! That place in mental! It's insane!
*calm down, Nat... deep breath... there you go...* sorry, just had to get that out. First of all, I wasn't telling you everything yesterday. I told you I killed the wrong brother and got exiled, right? And ended up in the human lands? Well, I did. I was thrown out with nothing but a crappy shield and sword to fight darkspawn all alone until I died. Hah! Until they are exterminated and I die of boredom, more like it. But anyway, I ran into a few humans down there. They started talking about some dark wardens or something and wanted me to join them. I followed them, but kinda regret it.
When we got to the camp, or outpost, really, I was sent to find some guy who would join me in the, uh, joining. Allistair, I think he was called. God, he's dumb! He's a complete idiot. I can't help liking him, though. Kinda like how you like a rather stupid pet. Not saying pets are stupid, but some are less smart than others. This guy... sheesh, he takes the cake and eats it too. Put it this way. He was trained to kill mages. He was sent to fetch a mage (that's dumb in it's own), but he was too stupid to know they made a fool of him. Even the mage didn't take him seriously!
Then we (Allie, me and two others I didn't get to know well - more on that later) was sent into some forest to fetch some pages and darkspawn blood. To get the blood, we had to kill darkspawn. Obviously. And that was the easy part. The pages... ugh. Not sooner had we found them (or where they were supposed to be) before this woman showed up and said the pages were gone. I mean literally showed up. Hell if I know where she came from. She told me her mother had gotten the pages long ago, so we followed her there. If this woman was insane, her mother was at least three times that bad. She handed us the pages right away, though. Phew. I hope I never have to see any of them ever again.
And then there's the joining. Turns out we were forced to drink the blood we had found. Yeah, you heard me. Drink it. Only they didn't tell us until then it would probably be lethal. Serioulsy, the first guy who drank it went insane and died. The second chickened out, so the guy I talked about earlier, the one I found in the caves, simply killed him. He had a wife and daughter, you know. If was Allies turn, but he had apparently already gone through the whole thing. That pissed me off quite a bit. I had been stuck with him all this time, and he didn't even bother to tell me he had already gone through the joining? So what was he doing here in the first place? Was he so dumb he had to go through it twice? Actually, that wouldn't have surprised me one bit. That made it my turn, though, so I gave it a shot. It actually wasn't that bad. I enjoyed the taste. (but... um... don' tell anyone, please?) I saw strange visions and got a major hangover, kinda like any other day, but I made it. I am now officially a Gay Warden. Grey Warden, I mean. Duh..
Not that I have much time to rest. The fun is only just beginning.

Keep going. 
And spoilers are allowed in this section of the forum so unleash yourself.
Not that I don't say that your are on leash, because dwarfs are certainly not short concerning their freedom.
Wait, did I just say "short"?.. What I meant is.. well..forget about that

Dear diary,
Not sure where to even begin. Everyone in the outpost kept talking about a massive battle coming right up, so naturally I was looking forward to it and hoped for some fun. But guess what? They kept me out of it! Instead I had to babysit that stupid Alistair! Sheesh... We went to a tower to light a beacon, but luckily the tower was full of darkspawn. I remember we managed to light the beacon like we were supposed to, but after that... well, I remember a few arrows coming out of my chest. That's not good. Everything was a mess. Darkspawn swarmed us, and when I woke up..... yeah, you guessed it. She was there. The bimbo of the woods! To make a long story short, I was sent out with Allie and her as my only companions. *sigh* What have I done to deserve such a cruel fate...
We soon came to a town, and my worst fears came true. The rest of the surface world is just as dumb as the one I had encountered. Let's see.... there was a guy sitting in a cage, of all things. People trying to make a living by stealing, and people being angry at people making a living for not selling their goods at the right price. The priests are angry at the normal people, the normal people angry at everyone and the bandits seizing an opportunity to make a quick buck, making everyone hate them too in the process. Now there's a surprise. Wonder if I can sell Allie as a slave?

Dear diary,
Seems no one wanted a new slave. But he can put on a dress and dance for you, too! Oh, well. So anyway, there we were, stuck in a small town, looking for something to do. A tavern seems like a nice place to hear rumours, but once we entered, we got attacked. A woman helped us fight them (pft, like we needed help!) and decided to invite herself along with us. Where do I find all these morons? Do I have a moron-magnet attached to my forehead, or something?
After some talk, we learned there are several places we can go. Our first destination was an old fortress to the north, up in the mountains. Maker grant me strengt, I swear Allie tried to start a snowballfight of all things. But just as I started telling him where to stick the snowball, we heard strange noises. Next thing we knew, we were surrounded by the undead! Yickes! And yet as brave as we were, we didn't stand a chance and had to retreat. That kinda sucked. I wonder what's up there? I heard it's an ancient warden's keep or something. Should be a few nice trinkets up there, at least. (hey, just because I'm a princess, it doesn't mean I don't want more shiny stuff!)
The next destination was back home, of all places. I really, really, really didn't want to back there, but I knew we had no choice. Fortunately (?) the road was blocked, so we couldn't go there. Instead, we headed down to a small town called... um... err.... something about a cliff, I think. Although it was right next to the ocean. Weird humans. That place was a mess. An enemy invasion was imminent, and the only guy who could make enough weapon to defend the town had locked himself in the smithy. No worries, it wasn't hard to bash in the door and 'convince' him to help. Still, what was he thinking? His loved one was gone, so he would just as well doom the entire town? Sheesh... and yes, he was human. How did you guess.
But nightfall is coming, and with it, the final assault against the fortress up there. It won't end the blight, but it should liberate the town. It's not much, but it will have to do for now until we find real enemies.

Dear diary,
I hate the undead. Hate, hate, hate! They just keep coming! (calm down, Nat...) Alright, here's the thing. I went to a town called Redcliff to talk to some old guy Allie knows. Well, you know Allie. Nothing is every simple with him. Except his brain. I regret ever coming to this hell hole. First, there's a demon or something stalking this place. Two, said demon launches attacks on the town every single night. We have finally beaten them back for good (for now, at least?), but that's the thing about the undead. They have all of eternity to do whatever it is undead stuff do for fun, so they can easily attack again and again every night for hundreds of years. And it's not like we can just kill them, either. They are already dead, so where are they gonna go? Soldier's Peak? So while I write this, the others are preparing to charge up to... wherever they are going. I wasn't paying attention. What? Sue me. I'm alive, ain't I?
Speaking of Allie, know what that dimwit forgot to tell me? He's a freaking prince! Hi, I'm Allie, a templar, fighter, moron and ready to follow your every command. Oh, and I'm the freakin' prince of Ferelden. God, he's dumb.. at least no I can call him a royal pain in the butt.

Dear diary,
Heh, I never saw that one coming. I saved the town and all, but everyone hates me. A woman promised me a reward for saving everyone, but it turns out I didn't read the fine letters at the bottom. Bring my son out, I thought she said. How was I supposed to know the stupid kid had to be alive if I were to get a reward? Oh, well. At least now I know and will keep that in mind the next time. Keep him alive? Um... sure. But reward up front. Hihi.
Oh, well, time to move on and leave this stupid town behind. Seriously, they got overrun by the undead, of all things. A kid turned out to be a demon, and Allie a freakin' prince! Makes you wonder what awaits in the next town...
Note to self: Bard are cool. Get instrument.
