Storm Coast

The Storm Coast is a rainy coastal region in Ferelden located in the northwestern-most part of the country.
== Background ==
Ancient dwarven ruins dot the landscape from a long abandoned time. Prior to the First Age, the dwarven people maintained a sizeable presence on the coast. Mining guilds were drawn to the area's then-plentiful mineral deposits.From The Storm Coast and its History by Brother Genitivi, Chantry scholar; excerpt from the Morrin's Steps landmark
Built into the cliffs of the Storm Coast, the subterranean port at Daerwin's Mouth once connected the dwarven thaigs to the Waking Sea. In addition to increasing trade between the dwarves and their allies in the Tevinter Imperium, direct access to the Deep Roads meant diplomats from Orzammar could visit the port without fear of losing their "stone sense." The site thus became a popular meeting place for ambassadors of the two nations.From The Storm Coast and Its History by Brother Vincent, Chantry scholar; expanded from Codex entry: Daerwin's Mouth
All dwarven activity ceased when darkspawn incursions forced the Deep Roads to be sealed, hence severing the region from Orzammar.From The Storm Coast and its History by Brother Genitivi, Chantry scholar; taken from the Morrin's Steps landmark After the dwarves retreated back into Orzammar the port fell into disuse. At least, all reputable use of the port ceased —bandits, smugglers, and pirates are known to still use the various caves and waterways along The Coast, including Daerwin's Mouth itself, for their own personal gains. But that hasn't stopped the region from boasting more than its fair share of tragic tales. If all are to be believed, rich merchant ships blanket the depths due to the follies of their proud captains.From In Pursuit of Knowledge: Travels of a Chantry Scholar by Brother Genitivi; excerpt from Codex entry: The Storm Coast
The large statue situated at Morrin's Outlook once served as a marker for ships coming to trade with the dwarves. Beyond an assumed connection with the great port at Daerwin's Mouth, nothing is known of the statue's namesake.From The Storm Coast and its History by Brother Genitivi, Chantry scholar; taken from the Morrin's Outlook landmark

== Notes ==
* Depending on player choices, it is entirely possible to witness three-way confrontations between Red Templars, Darkspawn, and Blades of Hessarian.
* When traveling about the Storm Coast the Inquisitor will witness a scuffle between a giant and high dragon. This is the only opportunity to see a giant on the Storm Coast. The fight immediately initiates upon wandering into the region; regardless of where the Inquisitor is at in the zone. It is entirely possible to not witness the squabble between the two and still have unlock (along with its loot), appear in the nearby vicinity once giant has been defeated.
== Bugs ==
* Rebel Mage, the boss figure associated with the side quest A Glowing Key, can be encountered multiple times after the quest has been completed.
