Endrin Aeducan is the King of Orzammar on the eve of the Fifth Blight. His three children are Trian (the eldest), Bhelen (the youngest) and 'the Dwarf Noble'.

Background 
Edit
House Aeducan traces its ancestry back to the Paragon Aeducan, the greatest warrior in Orzammar's history, who beat back the darkspawn hordes of the First Blight. Endrin was only the second son of King Ansgar Aeducan but became the royal heir when he convinced his elder brother to fight in a Proving against a convicted murderer and died. According to Bhelen, Endrin was responsible for the poison found on the murderer's blade.[1]
The most respected king in four generations, he restored Orzammar's first contact with Kal-Sharok (the only other surviving Great Thaig of the once-vast Dwarven Empire) since the First Blight.
Involvement Edit

Endrin Aeducan is first seen during the ceremony for his second child's inauguration as Orzammar's commander during the Dwarf Noble Origin. The next day he participates in A Noble Expedition in an effort to support a Grey Warden mission as well as reclaim the Aeducan Shield. In the course of these events, the Dwarf Noble is either induced to kill, or framed for murdering, Prince Trian; due to overwhelming evidence in any event, the king is convinced to exile his favorite child. Depending on dialogue choices, his misgivings (or further disappointments) may be expressed at the site of Trian's death, or relayed by Lord Pyral Harrowmont when Endrin's disgraced child is sent alone into the Deep Roads.
When The Warden reaches Orzammar, it is revealed that King Endrin recently died of grief over the death and exile of his two eldest children, resulting in political turmoil. Rumors and suspicions that he was poisoned are never confirmed.
If the Dwarf Noble resolves the quest Of Noble Birth and restores his son's noble status, he may name the child Endrin.
If the Warden was a Dwarf Commoner and Bhelen becomes king, Bhelen and Rica's son is named Endrin. Quotes Edit
- "Denial of the traditions of our people does not qualify as a political technicality."
- "There are more important things in life than monetary gain, my Lords Bemot and Meino. The Assembly of Kal-Sharok will respect the rule of Orzammar, or they will rot and die alone, surrounded by enemies."
- "Feast, drink, and celebrate; for the morning brings BATTLE!"
- "I will not drag my [son/daughter] to Orzammar in chains."
Trivia Edit
- His line "Feast, drink, and celebrate..." uses the same formula as the idiom "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!"
- Endrin's clothing during the ceremony shares the same appearance as Tevinter Mage Robes.
