Oswin

Oswin is a forested bannorn in northwestern Ferelden and controls a vital crossing over the northern shore of Lake calenhad. It supplies most of the lumber in the region and provides much needded protections for caravans traveling to and from Orlais. 
== Background ==
Oswin was the ancerstral lands of the Lorens, a fairly prominent fereldan noble family until Bann Diedric Loren chose to ally with the Orlesian occupiers during the invasion. When Maric's rebellion won against the Orlesian's in 9:00 Dragon, the Loren's were stripped of all titles including the bannorn of Oswin. The lands were, after some dispute, given to Ethel Hecate, a cousin of Randall Loren and wealthy businesswoman who had hired mercenaries to harass the Orlesian occupiers.
in 9:30 when the Ferelden civil war started, Randall Loren made another bid for the lands with the support of Loghain and Arl Howe. Together, Randall and Howe arranged to have Orianna and Orren, the key to the Hecate's alliance with the Couslands, killed. This left only the widow Ethel and her mage daughter as claimants to Oswin. When the civil war and the blight had ended, Ethel was once again granted Oswin and Randall was exiled again. 
When Ethel passed away, the bannorn was left without a ruler. This was capitalized by the Promisers, a doomsday cult under the command of Lord Seeker Lucius who took over Caer Oswin in 9:41. Not long after, Cassandra Pentaghast with the aid of Inquisitor Anahada took back Caer Oswin and gave it back to Sarah Hecate, the granddaughter of Ethel and an ally of the Inquisition.
