Prologue

My name is Dawn Cousland. I had a normal life, a loving mother and a caring father. An annoying older brother that I loved. Until the night Father send his army to Ostagar to help with the upcoming Blight. Then Arl Howe, my father's friend, struck. He betrayed us, killing everyone in the Keep. I had to leave my mother and father to die, as I fled with Duncan, a Grey Warden, to become one myself. The only one that escaped was my brother, Fergus, only because he left with the army. With the help of Alistair, another Grey Warden, I must stop this Blight. I must end this war and prove that I can do something. I must get revenge from Howe. I am a Cousland. I am a Grey Warden. I am a hero.
