The Orzammar Crier is a campaign crier in the Diamond Quarter working for Pyral Harrowmont.

Background[]

He doesn't have much to say to the Warden, but frequently shouts supporting messages concerning Lord Harrowmont's campaign for the throne.

He is standing near the Harrowmont's Estate. However, if Bhelen Aeducan is chosen as king of Orzammar, he will disappear.

  • "News of the hour: Harrowmont is king! What more need be said?"

Notes[]

  • Prince Bhelen's crier is Orzammar Crier (Bhelen).
  • There is an inconsistency in that both Orzammar Criers state that Prince Bhelen is going to marry Rica Brosca. However, he is already married, and Rica is just a royal concubine.[1]
