Aravel

__NOTOC__
The Aravel is a Dalish caravan.
== Background ==
Aravels are used by the nomadic Dalish elves as mobile housing and storage. They are pulled by animals called halla, who are treated as honored companions. The clan Keepers use their magic to make it possible for the aravels to fly above the trees, as the Dalish move through the forests on foot.Dragon Age: Last Flight, pg. 87.Codex entry: Aravels Aravels consist of ornately carved wagons, adorned with bright and colorful silk hoods that look like sails, earning aravels the nickname "landships" by humans.
Because there are usually several or more aravels per Dalish clan, and because their bright sails make them easy to spot, most humans consider the aravels' approach a warning and flee the area. As the Chantry criminalized the elven faith and Andrastian humans routinely attack them or Chantry members threaten them to convert,Dragon Age: Origins: Prima Official Game Guide, Collector's Edition, p. 342 the Dalish are nomadic. Codex entry: The City Elves Dalish elves are not known to be friendly to outsiders, especially humans.Codex entry: Aravels Solas claims that Dalish elves even treat other elves with suspicion and aggression, stating that clans have attacked him in the past when he merely attempted to make contact.
