Exalted Plains

The Exalted Plains, also known as Dirthavaren ("the promise") in elvish, is a region of the Dales in Orlais. The Exalted Plains is a grassland region with myriad abandoned forts.
== Background ==
It was here, centuries ago, that the Dalish kingdom met its bitter end, the holdouts of the elven army making their last stand, refusing to surrender against the champions of Andraste: the templar, the sister, and the nobleman patron. The champions' cause was just, and their faith led them to victory. The plains were henceforth called "Exalted."A message from Marshal Bastien Proulx to his soldiers before battle was joined; excerpt from Codex entry: The Exalted Plains After the elves' defeat and the dissolution of their kingdom, Ville Montevelan became the first human settlement in the Dales, presided over by Revered Mother Amity, Champion of the Exalted March.

== Notes ==
* After the main quest Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts has been completed, Commander Jehan and Marshall Proulx can be spoken to for additional dialogue, and new ambient dialogue can also be heard from the Orlesian soldiers stationed at Fort Revasan and Citadelle du Corbeau.
* Although the door leading further into Citadelle du Corbeau can be highlighted, it cannot be opened by any means.
== Trivia ==
* If Varric is in the party when approaching the bridge at Pont Agur prior to it's repair, he will shout: "Don't anyone think of throwing me," which is in reference to a scene with Gimli from the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, whereby the party is attempting to escape from the Balrog in Moria. Gimli refuses aid and makes a rather difficult jump, stating "nobody tosses a dwarf." Later during the battle at Helm's Deep, Gimli reluctantly demands that Aragorn throw him across a chasm, as he is unable to make the lengthy jump, to battle against the Uruk Hai.
* When approaching Fort Revasan, the party will encounter Orlesian troops fighting with an Arcane horror and some Corpses. One of the Orlesians will shout out, "Aim for the eyes!" which is a reference to Minsc's famous battle cry instruction to his space hamster companion, Boo. This appears to be a favorite easter egg of BioWare's, as they have also made reference to Minsc's command in one of Tali's combat comments.
== Bugs ==
* Lore Requisition on the Plains cannot be completed. When attempting to complete the quest all items are consumed and the quest restarts automatically, preventing the Inquisitor from obtaining other requisition quests in that area. For PC users there is an unofficial mod which fixes the issue here. A fix has also been included in Bugs Be Gone, a compilation of multiple bug fixes for Dragon Age: Inquisition.
