When it seemed all hope was lost, the OrlesianBaroness that ruled those lands set out and presumably killed the Queen. However, some did not believe it, and rumours circulated that the Baroness was a witch.
The Queen of the Blackmarsh appears in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening as a boss creature. She can be awakened at the end of a quest in Blackmarsh by returning all of the scattered dragon bones to the skull on the hill toward the exit of the Blackmarsh.

The current form will count as a kill but not interrupt the process and then the next hit following the completed transformation will result in a second kill and more experience. Some characters may even share the queen as most powerful foe slain following the fight.
