Hargrave Keep

Hargrave Keep is a ruined castle in the boggy marshes of the Fallow Mire. 
== Background ==
In 6:52 StormThe age should be labeled 6:52 Steel: in which the Avvar are pushed out of Ferelden proper. The period results in one of the worst famines in Fereldan history. Memories of Avvar savagery sour relations between the barbarians and Fereldan kings for ages., Bann Hargrave's knights helped drive Avvar invaders from Ferelden's lowlands. When King Theirin asked Hargrave to pursue the retreating tribes, she refused, demanding funds to build a keep. Caught between a fractured court, Hargrave's knights, and an impending famine, the king reluctantly granted her a large parcel of boglands in southern Ferelden.From Notable Fortresses, Castles, Towers and Other Edifices of Interest in Ferelden, by Henry Lannon; excerpt from Codex entry: Hargrave Keep
Three years later, in 6:55 Steel, the Avvars were finally forced out of Ferelden and Hargrave Keep was completed. To commemorate Bann Hargrave's efforts, the Banns convened and had the Light of Andraste statue built to thank her for her good fortune. As the ongoing famine grew worse, the wisdom behind her choice of location became clear: Hargrave Keep ate well, dining on a steady supply of fish and game while the farmlands starved.
Hargrave's line died out fighting Orlesian invaders in the Second Orlesian Invasion of Ferelden during the Blessed Age. Only the village at the base of the keep remained inhabited while the keep proper fell into disrepair. The village somehow managed to survive up until 9:41 Dragon; it was finally abandoned when the villagers, already ravaged by plague, witnessed horned men occupying the ruined keep and fled the region to safer locales.
