Kapitel 14: Orzammar and their Politics

Waiting for the group to arrive Logan was inspecting the egg he got from Shura. Waiting for the others who haven't arrived yet for two days Logan and Leliana go to Dust Town and Logan creates a portal near Lake Calenhad Docks and then went towards it to take a ferry towards the circle. Finally arriving at the circle they met with Greagoir who was waiting for Daveth and the First Enchanter to come out.

"How long since they got here?" asks Logan and Greagoir answers, "It's been three days they arrived said they are here to recruit the mages I gave them an ultimatum if the First Enchanter Irving isn't with them I will purge the whole circle with the right of Annulment." "Alright I will go in Leliana take the egg and take care of it I will be right back with everyone," says Logan and goes through the door that closed right behind him by the Templars going through the corridor he finds a group of children with some mages and some of the group he was looking for. Going over there the group was tense first thinking Logan is a Templar but those who recognize him relaxed fast and told the other who he was.

"So can you tell me why your group arrived here only three days ago. When you should already be on your way to Orzammar since five days ago. Now, who is gonna answer this question?" asks Logan the group. And Alistair answers, "We were ambushed on our way by assassins from the Antivan Crows on our way here and recruited one of them after a long ear torture from him to us he just doesn't shut his mouth."

'F*** forgot about Zevran' "And where is he?" asks Logan again and Elissa says, "He is with Daveth, Neria and Wynne, we meet Wynne in Ostagar." "Alright I will go after them we need to finish it today," says Logan and keeps saying, "Elissa and Alistair by me the rest stays here."

Rushing through the tower entering the First Enchanters room to look for a Black Grimoire after finding it they continue to the fourth floor to meet them sleeping on the floor. Logan says, "Demon time to die." And rushes at it with his sword. The Demon seeing Logan rushing at him wanted to evade the sword by jumping back but it didn't work and got pierced straight through the abdomen then Logan takes his sword out of the demon and cuts him in two then Logan says, "Last and biggest mistake was to jump back and not go in."

After killing the Demon the people around woke up and seeing Logan the group know he could be angry. "So where is the assassin that you recruited."

"My name is Zevran Arainai, but my friends call me Zev for short. You can call me Zevran," says Zevran looking at Logan a little suspicious since he never met him and doesn't know if Logan would kill him.

"And who is the woman with you that I not recognize *sighs* you know what forget it we can talk later let's make it fast and pick the Litany of Andralla and let's save the First Enchanter. We don't have time so let's run to the top," says Logan looking into the group runs towards the last room only to meet Cullen capture in a magic circle not able to go out of there.

The woman sees this and goes over there and asks, "Cullen are you alright?" "Away demon you can't deceive me with that face I know she is not here. But downstairs with the children," says Cullen thinking they are Illusions projected by Uldred. "Let me get him out of there," says Logan coating his right arm in white energy and pushes his hand inside touching Cullen and coats him too. Then he pulls him out. "How did you do this?" asks Wynne and Logan says, "The magic here is to primitive for my powers not to go through it or why do you think Blood magic doesn't work on me. Let him rest for now he needs to get a clear head Alistair and Elissa and you girl bring him down. I and the others go up and kill Uldred or at least separate him from the demon so he gets judged as he should by the others."

"And how are you going to separate him from a demon," says Wynne to Logan but Neria answers this question saying, "He has done it before in Redcliffe Castle the boy got possessed by a Demon and he separated both with his sword."

"I can show it to you right now let's go in and finish this we have a job to do," says Logan rushing to the last floor seeing Uldred standing in front of the First Enchanter and some other mages that were tied up. Before Uldred could even talk you could see a blue color on Logan's sword and Logan jump straight at him piercing him separating Uldred from the Pride Demon. "Now what have we here you are little bigger than the others of your kin. But you all die the same let's finish this," says Logan to the demon. Going at it with his full strength killing it with Judgment Cut you didn't see Logan swing his Sword and the Demon lied there lifeless on the ground in eight pieces.

"Now let's pick Uldred and the other we are going down," says Logan and opens a portal down to the others. "What is this magic?" asks Wynne again and Logan answers, "You could say it's Bloodline magic since I couldn't use these things without my blood heritage and the sword I have." Going over to the group that waited there. They were waiting for the other group to arrive so they could go out.

"How comes you are already here? We didn't see you pass us," asks Solona the group who told her how they got here. After talking they walk to the entrance where Greagoir was waiting for them.

Once there Logan hands over Uldred to Greagoir who kills him on spot seeing the First Enchanter alive and well he was relieved he didn't need to purge the circle of the mages. Only Cullen was a bit against this idea of Greagoir but was shut down by him.

"Since you helped us with the circle we will gladly help you against the Blight," says Irving and Greagoir says, "I can't send all my knights since we have to watch over the mages that are still here but I can send some saying they are watching over the mages with your army to Redcliffe."

"That will do we await you at Redcliffe then. We will go to Orzammar then return to Redcliffe," says Logan to them. And wanted to walk to his group when Wynne came into the conversation saying, "I and my student will go with you, you will need some good Healers in your group since you don't have one."

"You can come but I will hold a training camp for some wardens and new recruits that don't have the stamina needed for a Battlefield," says Logan looking at Solona and Wynne understood what he meant, "That should be fine."

Irving consent and Greagoir was a little pissed but he let it go since they saved the circle. "See you at Redcliffe," says Irving to them and they leave for the group once all together they asked how it was finding the Urn if Andraste and her ash. Logan only told them little details and looked serious at Leliana who didn't say anything. Who the others who know Leliana saw suspicious.

"If you tell no one we will tell you later at camp. Now let's leave here," says Logan walking out of the circle and to the ferry who brought them over in six at the time until everyone was at Lake Calenhad Docks where Bodahn and Sandel were waiting for them at The Spoiled Princess after picking them up they march towards Orzammar. At camp, Logan told them what happened in Haven leaving the gods out of the conversation. Taking his egg back from Leliana and waiting for it to hatch. 'It should hatch tomorrow Shura might be a pain in the ass but he doesn't lie.'

The next day when Logan wakes up he sees a hatched egg but not what should be inside. Looking around him he spots a letter from Shura he read it. 'Dear Logan I got your baby dragon after giving him some of your blood so he knows who his owner is I will train it and give it to you at the right moment. Your favorite and only Godking Shura.

P.S. You will like the surprise you will get later.

Bastard if you never wanted me to have it you could just have kept it from the beginning.'

"Where is your egg?" asks Leliana and Logan says, "Shura took it back and said that I will get it back when I need it. Well then to Orzammar again." Going to breakfast with the group near the campfire. "We will hold a training camp for Elissa, Alistair, Leliana, Lyna, Zevran, Morrigan and Solona. Until we are done with Orzammar your ass will be worked hard until you are like the others."

Arriving at the doors of Orzammar after some days of travel they were at the stopped by the Gatekeeper telling everyone no one can enter. After they arrived with the contracts saying the dwarf have to help against the blight the Gatekeeper let them in and say to go to the assembly that makes some people angry better say some dogs from Loghain who wanted the help of the dwarfs against the blight. After killing them for attacking them in front of everyone they go in seeing a big discussion in the Commoner's District. Someone killed another Dwarf and the guard interrupted everything.

"A Wardens you are back since your last visit many things have changed. We are without King. King Endrin Aeducan died in bed three days ago and now Lord Harrowmont and Prince Bhelen Aeducan are fighting for the throne. Many think Bhelen killed his oldest brother and framed his second brother for it and then poisoned his father to get to the throne. Endrin himself so says Harrowmont didn't want Bhelen on his throne because he is to cruel." says the Guard Captain to Logan.

"What happened to the second brother?" asks Logan and the Captain answers, "He was exiled into the Deep Roads yesterday."

"Can I have a pass to go to the Deep Roads I need to train some of my Wardens?" asks Logan and the Captain says, "The Assembly should give you one." Logan nods and leaves the Captain to his work and they walk towards the Diamond District to the Assembly to see the Dwarves discuss.

The Dwarves still can't choose between the two candidates to be king. Ending the Assembly Bandelor the Steward of the Assembly comes out and greets the Wardens.

"Stone-met Wardens I see that you returned but for what," says Bandelor to them. "We are here for the Dwarves army against the Blight as this contract says," says Logan and hands the contract over and Bandelor reads it and says, "You are right but we can't help right now since only the king can command the army to go help you. Since we don't have one you must wait until one is appointed."

"Come on both of us know it will take some time just send me to Harrowmont side we assist him and you have a new king everyone is happy," says Logan looking at Bandelor, who answers, "Look for Lord Harrowmont's second named Dulin Forender he might find you before you find him," "Can I get entry into the Deep Roads i need to train some of our Wardens?" asks Logan and Bandelor says, "I can't give you that but if you help Harrowmont he might give you a pass to enter." Thanking him, Logan then leaves the Assembly and meets with Dulin on his way out. "If you help us we can help you," says Dulin to Logan who says "You need us more then we need you, so we make it so you give us the pass and the ones not training will help you with your task. I even can take care if the Carta right now what do you say."

"Deal!" says Dulin faster than a bullet and shakes Logan's hand Logan disappears and appears in a second with Leske's Head in hands and hand it over saying, "The Carta is no problem anymore give me the pass." Dulin hands it over and Logan picks those he listed before and says, "Daveth is in command for now again, while i train our weaklings."

Daveth, Neria, Darrian and Faren passed some shivers over their back thinking about their training and say together, "Good Luck to you all."

Logan takes Daveth and Faren with him for a little talk and says, "If you find Duran Aeducan in the Deep Roads take him with you we have plans with him we could make him king and have a king that isn't a snake on the throne. Also, Faren's nephew would not have to live in the streets like him since Duran was always wanted to destroy some traditions like the caste system and that the surface Dwarves can return too if they wanted. And don't forget to meet us before you return from the Deep Roads to Orzammar." Daveth and Faren nod to that and leaves the group alone.

"Now to you all will go through a hard training regimen that will form you for life a battle like Ostagar will be fun for you by the end of the training. Now let's buy provisions for the next months," says Logan to the group. The group leaves for the Aeducan Thaig after buying provision for more than a year for a company of 20 people. Just to be sure says Logan. And they leave for the Thaig.

POV Daveth

After Logan left Daveth took command and their first mission was to win the Proving since Faren won one Daveth send him to fight in this one too.

Faren fought his way easily through the Proving as if it was nothing for him that makes the other think and the Master if the Proving ground asks Daveth, "What training did he have to endure to become like this?" "The same as I and those two by the warden that was with us the last time we were here with our commander. The Commander wanted us in top form and he formed us into the perfect soldier in body only when it comes to fighting but he let us at least our Soul since he didn't need to change it once a Warden there is no going back from it," says Daveth and keeps saying, "If I had to fight a hundred Darkspawn alone or against our Leader I would fight the hundred Darkspawn alone its far more easier than to fight Logan on a one versus one."

Seeing how Faren was toying with Piotin Aeducan as if he and his companions were children fighting their father after finishing the fight Lord Harrowmont side won the Proving making his influence higher than Bhelen's and they returned to Harrowmont's Estate. Once there Wynne asks what Logan might do to her student hearing a thing or two from Neria she was relieved that it wasn't to extreme.

"You really shouldn't worry about Solona since her cousin second grade is in a relationship with Logan I'm more worried about the others," says Neria to Wynne. "Really someone like him can be romantic I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't heard it from you," says Wynne to Neria.

The next mission was already done by Logan and now came the real mission they had to look for a Paragon Branka that got missing 2 years ago in the deep roads. The only thing they know was that they had to start from Caridin's Cross to the Ortan Thaig and from there they must look for hints where they could have gone. They go and buy provisions at the market of the Commoner's District.

They wanted to depart when suddenly a red-haired Dwarf with a two-handed ax runs at them asking if they have seen some Grey Wardens walking around searching for them. After explaining why he was looking for them he got recruited and says, "Stone-met Warden name is Oghren I will guide you through the deep roads," says Oghren and leaves with them to Caridin's Cross.
