== Background ==
The Battle of Valarian Fields occurred in -171 Ancient. The Alamarri army under Andraste and Maferath's leadership advanced deeper into the Tevinter Imperium, emboldened by previous victories. They joined with elven forces made up of ex-slaves led by Shartan. The Battle of Valarian Fields was where they first faced significant difficulties fighting Tevinter, since they entered the heart of the Imperium. The battle proved bloody as the situation was changing rapidly from siege to open fighting. In the end, the Alamarri and elven forces emerged victorious.
It is said that the southern forces managed to defeat the greatest army Tevinter ever mustered. Andrastians believe that the Maker smiled on the world that day.Codex entry: The History of the Chantry: Chapter 2
When Andraste met Shartan on the Valarian Fields, she gave him a sword that originally belonged to her mother Brona; Shartan then renamed the blade "Glandivalis".Codex entry: Glandivalis
According to the Canticle of Transfigurations 10:1, Andraste gave a sermon at Valarian Fields. A part of that canticle is often sung in mourning ceremonies.Codex entry: A Chant for the Departed
