“Freedom was no boon. I look on you now and I think you received the better end of the bargain.”


Varania is an elven mage from the Tevinter Imperium and the sister of Fenris.

Background[]


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age II.


Varania and Fenris, then called Leto, grew up together in Tevinter, along with their mother, a fact that Fenris does not remember until meeting her, as the ritual that gave him his markings erased all memories of his life before Danarius.

Fenris first learns of Varania's existence from Hadriana, Danarius' apprentice. She offers more detailed information in exchange for her life, but although Fenris accepts the deal, he kills Hadriana anyway after she gives him the information he seeks. He is told that Varania is still in Tevinter and serves at the court of Magister Ahriman in Qarinus. When Fenris asks whether she is a slave, Hadriana tells him that she's not. It is later discovered that she is in fact working as a tailor. Unbeknownst to Fenris, she is also a mage trying to be taken into apprenticeship by a magister.

Varania lures Fenris into a trap set by his former master, Danarius. Danarius has promised her apprenticeship if she helps him re-capture her brother. Hawke can tell Fenris to either kill her or let her go. If Varania is spared, she reveals that Fenris actually competed for his lyrium markings, and that he used the boon to free Varania and their mother. However, she states that freedom was no boon, and that she thinks he got the better end of the bargain. She then leaves, likely returning to Tevinter.
