Background Edit

Involvement Edit

See City Elf Origin for information about who and what can be found at this location during the origin story.

After the origin story, the Alienage is closed off because of rumoured unrest until fairly late in the campaign against the Blight. Only some time after Arl Eamon Guerrin calls the Landsmeet will the Warden be able to investigate the Unrest in the Alienage.

Several years after the Blight, the Alienage fell under the leadership of Shianni, though was the only area of Denerim that continued to lag behind, it's buildings still little more than shacks that had fallen into disrepair.
