Dragon Age place claim for “Unshaken by the Darkness”
When anyone in Ferelden speaks of “going to the city,” they inevitably mean Denerim. There is no other place in the kingdom which rivals it: Not in size, population, wealth, or importance. It is the seat of the Theirin family, the capital of Ferelden, the largest seaport, and, by ancient tradition, the meeting place of the Landsmeet.
As well, Denerim was the birthplace of Andraste. One of them, anyway, as several other sites claim to have been the prophet’s early home, including Jader, in Orlais. The Chantry takes no stance on which site’s claim is valid, but it is well known that Andraste was Fereldan by birth. When visiting the pilgrimage site in Denerim, it is inadvisable to mention Jader at all.
The city rests at the foot of the Dragon’s Peak, a solitary mountain scarred by ancient lava flows. During Andraste’s lifetime, it reputedly filled the sky with a great column of black ash and sent burning rock raining down as far away as the Free Marches, but it is now considered extinct. Some believe it merely sleeps, and will again darken the sky with ash and fire when the last Fereldan king dies, but this is highly unlikely.
