About

In -165 Ancient, the elves were granted the Dales as a new homeland in exchange for their help during Andraste's Exalted March against the Tevinter Imperium. Across the next several decades, elves eager for their freedom and a place to call their own after centuries of slavery in Tevinter made the Long Walk to the Dales. They established the city of Halamshiral (meaning "the end of the journey" in the elven language) as their capital, the first elven city since the fall of Arlathan.
