The Western Approuch

The western lands of Orlais are a dangerous terrain, where the cold white desert, Absyssal Reach and the Adamant Fortress can be found. It was once the home to the Gray Wardens and where Pharamond was sent to do his research on Tranquilty, but after their passing the land has recently been silent; out of fear that the Darkspawn may one day emerge from the depths of the Abyssal Reach.
