Background Edit

Redcliffe is located in the western hills of Ferelden. It once served as a strategic point between Orzammar and Ferelden when the humans of Ferelden feared dwarven invasion. The village around the castle grew until the arling was as much a powerful settlement as anything ruled by a teyrn. The heraldic symbol for Redcliffe is a tower on a red cliff.

In the years that followed the Blight, the Bannorn increasingly looked to the Arl for guidance and leadership. It was speculated that if this continued, Redcliffe may be a western rival to Denerim.

Companion remarks Edit

One of the companions may make interesting remarks at certain spots:

• Shortly after stepping outside the chantry
  • Oghren: "belches! Huh. Surface air."
  • Sten: "Is this where humans keep all their wisdom? Your behavior makes much more sense to me now."
  • Alistair: "Sniffs What is that smell? Fish? And something else. Oh... more fish."
  • Wynne: "These people don't deserve what has happened to them. We must get to the bottom of this."
  • Leliana: "Walking corpses? Do you think it's something in the water?"
  • Morrigan: "Ahh, fresh air. 'Twas difficult to breathe within all that self-righteousness crowding the air."
  • Zevran: "Ah! What a lovely fishing town! You can almost smell the desperation of local gentry, no?"
  • Shale: "Are there pigeons here? I think we should look for them."
• At the cliff's edge anywhere around the mill
  • Alistair: "Ah, it's sort of like coming home again. But with more undead."
  • Oghren: "What do you think the villagers would say to me taking a dip in the lake naked?"
  • Wynne: "Isn't it beautiful? Standing here, you wouldn't know the trouble down in the village."
  • Leliana: "Ooh, a windmill. I once took a ride on the sails of a windmill. Didn't turn out well."
  • Morrigan: "Yes, yes very lovely. Let us soak in the vista before the massacre begins."
  • Zevran: "Hmm. Anyone up for a bit of naked cliff-diving? No?"
  • Sten: "Hmph. Defensible enough spot."
  • Shale: "I wonder what it must be like to float? Or drown?"

Party banter Edit

At the following spots, companions may engage in party banter:

• After using the secret passage to enter the castle dungeons
• On the bridge along the cliff
• The boardwalk near the blacksmithy

Notes Edit

• Entering the village with Alistair will trigger a conversation about his heritage. Afterward, if you talk to him and his approval is high enough, he'll start the quest Alistair's Family.
• Leaving the village (traveling anywhere other than the Party Camp) without completing the Village Under Siege and The Attack at Nightfall quests will result in the deaths of all the inhabitants except Bann Teagan, who will still take his part in continuing the Arl of Redcliffe quest line.
• The first cottage on the right when you enter Redcliffe Village belongs to Wilhelm, it's inaccessible by normal means and is a remnant of the original process to acquire Shale (The Golem in Redcliffe) before it was added as downloadable content.
• There is a bug in the PC version which may cause fires to still be present after the A Village Under Siege quest is completed.
