- For the keep located in this region, see Caer Bronach.
Crestwood is a region located north of Lake Calenhad in Ferelden.
Background
Crestwood's namesake is Ser Venar Crestwood, the first captain of Caer Bronach, who had guarded the keep against Orlesian forces during the Second Orlesian Invasion of Ferelden in 8:26 Blessed.[1]
Involvement
Following their exodus from Haven, the Inquisition receive reports of the appearance of a Fade rift beneath the Crestwood lake. As a result, demons and the undead plague the area. The region is also troubled by a dragon that is ravaging its livestock and a group of highwaymen that have taken over Caer Bronach and prowl the surrounding roads.
It is also the site at which Hawke's Grey Warden informant has taken refuge.
