The Palace first appears in a cutscene after Loghain and his troops return from Ostagar, in which he declares himself as Queen Anora's regent to the assembled nobles. This cutscene is activated by the Warden entering Lothering.

During The Landsmeet quest, the Fereldan Civil War is resolved when the Warden confronts Teyrn Loghain in the Landsmeet chamber, and where, at the Landsmeet's conclusion, Ferelden is again united under one banner.

There will be a duel between the Warden (or a champion chosen by the Warden) and Teyrn Loghain. Note that this fight cannot be avoided, and unlike all other companions, Alistair will immediately kill Loghain if he chosen to fight the duel.

• Loghain - (Human, Boss)

If the Landsmeet outcome favors Loghain, or the Warden wins the argument but opts to attack Loghain rather than agreeing to a honorable duel, there will be an all out brawl within the chamber. Queen Anora's royal guards will assist whichever side Anora supported during the Landsmeet. Furthermore, the Warden's party will be joined by Redcliffe soldiers, the nobles who supported the Warden, and their soldiers.

• Loghain - (Human, Elite Boss)
• Mage - x2 (Human, Normal)
• Loghain's Guard - many (Human, Normal)
• Royal Guard - several (Human, Normal) (possibly)

Before entering the Landsmeet chamber, the Warden will be confronted by Ser Cauthrien, if she was not killed during the Rescue the Queen quest. If Cauthrien is not persuaded to turn away, she will attack:

• Ser Cauthrien - (Human, Elite Boss), (The Summer Sword)
• Loghain's Guard - x6 (Human, Normal)
