Castle Cousland is a fortress located in Highever. It is the seat of the Cousland family who have reigned as the Teyrns of Highever since the Black Age. It is also the location where the events of Human Noble Origin take place.
Involvement[]
Dragon Age: Origins[]
While Fergus Cousland departed with the bulk of Highever's soldiers to join King Cailan's army at Ostagar, Arl Rendon Howe's army attacked Castle Cousland in the middle of the night and killed the Cousland family that remained there (with the possible exception of the Human Noble Warden).
After the Fifth Blight, Fergus Cousland became teyrn of Highever and tried to repair the damage Rendon Howe had done to his lands.
