## Biography

Few expected the world to be saved by, of all people, a city elf.

Nevertheless, Roana Tabris, daughter of Cyrion and Adaia, surprised them all when she ended the Fifth Blight before it had truly begun. Rescued from certain death at the hands of the Denerim authorities by the Grey Warden Duncan following her violent escape from Vaughan Kendells’ grasp, she was left as one of the two surviving Grey Wardens in Ferelden when they and King Cailan were betrayed by Teryn Loghain.

Retrieving the ancient treaties signed by the peoples of Ferelden to the Grey Wardens, Roana defied impossible odds, recruiting as allies against the Blight the remains of the Circle of Magi, King Bhelen of Orzammar, and the Dalish after ending the curse of the Brecilian Forest, curing Arl Eamon of Redcliffe of his agonising plight before confronting Loghain for his crimes in Denerim.

Defeating him in single combat and appointing Alistair as king with the queen regnant and Loghain’s daughter Anora as his wife, Roana spared his life only to offer it up to the Joining, such that he could redeem himself by slaying the Archdemon; however, the witch Morrigan offered a new solution to the Blight, with the only price being his seed and his child which she would bear, imbued with the untainted soul of the Old God trapped in the Archdemon.

It was thus that the Fifth Blight ended so unexpectedly in Denerim, with neither Roana or Loghain’s life forfeit. The new Commander of the Grey took up her seat in Amaranthine, tithed to the Grey Wardens after the death of Loghain’s chief crony Rendon Howe. Surviving the conflict between two ancient darkspawn, the Architect and the Mother, Roana sought out Morrigan’s whereabouts, pursuing her to a reconstructed eluvian and standing by as the witch stepped into the enchanted portal to destinations unknown.

Thereafter her movements became more obscure, first leading an expedition into the Deep Roads across the Waking Sea to investigate the Primeval Thaig which was the home of the red lyrium idol which would prove disastrous to so many just as the exiled Arishok, in his last acts, led a suicidal coup against the Kirkwall authorities, then to the edges of the known world to seek out dragon-worshipping Reavers and the apparent secret to curing the self-inflicted taint of the Grey Wardens. Her whereabouts after Corypheus’ defeat remain unknown.

The only person in all of Thedas who might know would be her lover, the former bard Leliana, also known as Sister Nightingale and Left Hand of the Divine. Remaining by her side throughout and beyond the Fifth Blight, she and the Warden found solace with each other, with the only lacuna in their contact being Roana’s odyssey beyond the Sundered Sea, which Leliana could not follow due to her obligations to the late Divine Justinia.

Perhaps one day the Hero of Ferelden will resurface to lead the people of Thedas in their struggle against the Dread Wolf’s machinations. Perhaps it is time for the next generation to form their own legends.
