Summary
The Hero of Ferelden was a Dalish elf who gave his life in the fight against the archdemon in 9:32 Dragon. Monuments were erected in his name, a tomb built for him in the hallowed halls of Weisshaupt, and his people were given the Brecilian forest. But that isn’t the whole story.
Warden-Commander Duncan arrived in Ostagar with eight recruits. Five survived the Joining. The four left standing after Denerim - the Prince, the Noble, the Rogue, and the Healer - will all say the same thing: Theron Mahariel ended the Fifth Blight.
The truth is far more complicated.
Duncan did not recruit her. There was no Joining. She could neither hear the archdemon’s siren song or sense its disciples. Oaths to the Grey Wardens were never sworn, yet without the Healer, the Fifth Blight would not have ended.
Born an Amell and raised a Cousland, Elona knew about duty–to family, to country, to suffering. When the king called for mages to aid in the Battle of Ostagar, she was newly Harrowed and eager to join. What she did not expect to find was a purpose that would reshape her life.
