Involvement Edit

Oriana is described as a lovely woman who was born into a rich Antivan trading family. During the Human Noble Origin, she is located in Fergus' room, where she and Oren are saying their goodbyes to Fergus when you are sent to find him. The Human Noble's parents then join and they all share a intimate moment with each other.

She is slain during Howe's attack on Castle Cousland. The bodies of Oriana and Oren are found in Fergus' room. Howe will later mention to the Human Noble that he had their bodies burned and discarded in a pit with the rest of the bodies from Highever.

Quotes Edit

• Oriana: "In Antiva, a woman fighting in battle would be ... unthinkable."
• Fergus: "Is that so? I always heard Antivan women were dangerous."
• Oriana: "With kind words and poison only, my husband."
• Fergus: "This from the woman who serves me my tea."

Trivia Edit

• She is from Antiva, but does not have as heavy an accent as Zevran. This may indicate that she has been away from Antiva for some time. In German, Polish and Russian game versions, Oriana mentions Calabria to be her birthplace.
• In another BioWare game Mass Effect 2 there is also a character named Oriana, who is the younger sister of Miranda Lawson.
