### Amaranthine City versus Vigil’s Keep

Amaranthine City was chosen to be burned. The Warden rallied the defenses of Vigil’s Keep and won the day, but with heavy losses.

### The Peasant’s Revolt

The rioters were provided with food and convinced to disperse. Though more uprisings occurred, it could have been worse.

Soldiers were sent to protect the farmlands, and while some still fell prey to the darkspawn, the decisions saved the food supply line in Amaranthine.

Not wanting to take the risk, the Warden killed the Architect.

### Kal’Hirol

The great thaig was cleared of darkspawn, and the plate honoring the sacrifice of the casteless was recovered and returned to Orzammar.

### The Blackmarsh

Without the area being haunted, the village is slowly being rebuilt as people settle in the area.
