Morrighan'nan

Morrighan'nan was an Avvar chieftain, and the distant descendant of the founder of the Avvar, Tyrdda Bright-Axe, and the dwarf-prince Hendir.Codex entry: Saga of Tyrdda Bright-Axe, Avvar-Mother, "One day child of Tyrdda's blood, Morrighan'nan, in strength must shine". Tyrdda lived around -1815 Ancient, almost 1500 years before Morrighan'nan. She lived during the Ancient Age circa -355. 
== Background ==
During a feast between the Avvar and Alamarri tribes, Morrighan'nan became captivated by the Alamarri chieftain by the name of Luthias Dwarfson and seduced him. However, he was married to a dwarven princess and refused her proposal of marriage, even after his wife learned of their tryst and left him to return to Orzammar. Angered by his rejection, Morrighan'nan declared war on his tribe. Legend says that she took to the field with the mace known as Thunderstrike.
The two tribes warred for fifteen years. Unbeknownst to Luthias, his tryst with Morrighan'nan had resulted in a child, a boy who had grown up to become a powerful warrior in her tribe. When he challenged Luthias to a duel, Luthias fought and killed him, not knowing his identity. After the boy's death, Morrighan'nan revealed that he had killed his own son and cursed him for killing his kin. The tide of the war turned against Luthias, until he and his tribe found themselves pushed back to the foothills of the Frostback Mountains. Finally, during the Battle of Red Falls in -355 Ancient,[note] Luthias and Morrighan'nan met on the battlefield and fought one on one. They ended up killing each other.

== Notes ==
* While Codex entry: The Legend of Luthias Dwarfson states that Luthias' son was killed at the Battle of Red Falls in -355 Ancient, Dragon Age: The World of Thedas volumes 1 & 2 state that the Battle of Red Falls was the one in which Luthias and Morrighan'nan killed each other.
* According to David Gaider, there's no connection between Morrighan'nan and Morrigan despite the similarity of their names. The legend that featured Morrighan'nan was written by James Ohlen before the game development truly began.
