Crestwood

Crestwood is a grasslands region located north of Lake Calenhad in Ferelden.
== Background ==
Crestwood's namesake, taken from Ser Venar Crestwood, was awarded to the region by King Brandel after Ser Venar, the first captain of Caer Bronach, guarded the keep against Orlesian forces during the Second Orlesian Invasion of Ferelden in 8:26 Blessed.From Notable Fortresses, Castles, Towers, and Other Edifices of Interest in Fereldan, by Henry Lannon; excerpt from Codex entry: Caer Bronach
Three Trout Pond hides a sinkhole hundreds of yards deep. Darkspawn emerged from this and other caves to attack Crestwood during the Blight. The flood that wiped out Old Crestwood drowned the blighted ones, and the excess water created Three Trout Pond.From the memoirs of Sister Vaughn of Crestwood; excerpt from Codex entry: Crestwood
Beneath the ground and almost directly under Old Crestwood lies a network of flooded ruins, the remnants of a Deep Roads intersection which formerly linked the thaigs of Aeducan and Gundarr. At the intersection is a great hall which was built on the Royal Order of King Kelgak and dedicated to the Paragon Hekkat to celebrate the linking of the two thaigs. The hall has long since been abandoned and now lies flooded by the same disaster which claimed Old Crestwood.
