Changes: Redcliffe Village

Revision as of 12:15, 10 February 2014

For Redcliffe Castle, see Redcliffe Castle.

Sitting on the western shore of Lake Calenhad, the village of Redcliffe is so named for the reddish hues of the cliffs that tower above it. A path leads up into the hills and across a bridge to an island where the ancient Castle Redcliffe has stood far longer than the village itself.

Background

Redcliffe is located in the western hills of Ferelden. It once served as a strategic point between Orzammar and Ferelden when the humans feared dwarven invasion.^{[citation needed]} The village below the castle (and others under Redcliffe's authority) grew until the arling was as powerful a settlement as any teyrnir. Redcliffe's coat of arms is a tower on a red cliff.

Witch Hunt

Witch Hunt.

By 9:32 Dragon, the Bannorn increasingly looked to the Arl of Redcliffe for guidance and leadership. It was speculated that if this continued, Redcliffe would become a rival of Denerim.

Involvement

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.

As the Warden approaches the village the first time, they will be greeted by Tomas, a member of the Redcliffe militia. Tomas will then take your party to Bann Teagan, Arl Eamon's brother, in the Chantry. There you discover that the village is under a siege of undead creatures spawning from Redcliffe Castle at night. Redcliffe Village is divided into two main plot quests, A Village Under Siege and The Attack at Nightfall. Once the A Village Under Siege quest is completed, night falls and the undead come down from Redcliffe Castle to terrorize the village; this begins The Attack at Nightfall.

Murdock: He is the Mayor of Redcliffe and can be found standing at the village square. Talking to him is needed for the quest A Village Under Siege. While not necessary, it is useful for you to talk to him before going inside the other houses in the village. Also it is possible to get approval from Leliana (+1) depending on what you ask him about and say.
Ser Perth and a few knights: In front of the windmill.
Doomsayer: Near the Blacksmith's Store, appears only if the village is not saved.

Companion remarks

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

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

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 quests Village Under Siege and The Attack at Nightfall 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 before it was added as downloadable content.
There is a bug in the pcwhich may cause fires to still be present after the quest A Village Under Siege is completed.

-*The four main quest lines can be completed in any order, but it's probably best to finish the [[Arl of Redcliffe]]/[[Urn of Sacred Ashes]] quests second, because unlike [[Broken Circle]], [[Nature of the Beast]], [[A Paragon of Her Kind]] quests, these take you into Denerim, and you want to explore Denerim early in the game for access to lots of vendors and rewarding side quests.
-*Entering the village with Alistair will trigger a conversation with [[The Warden]] about his heritage. Afterward, if you talk to him and his [[Approval|approval]] is high enough, he'll start the quest [[Alistair's Family]].
-*Leaving the village 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 the Arl of Redcliffe quest afterward. You can still visit the party camp.
-*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.
