Sitting on the western shore of Lake Calenhad, the village of Redcliffe is so named for the reddish hues of the cliffs that tower above it. A path leads up into the hills and across a bridge to an island where the ancient Castle Redcliffe has stood far longer than the village itself. Since the days of the Alamarri clans the castle has guarded the main pass through the Frostback Mountains into Orlais.
It was here that the Avvar hillfolk came to strike into the lowlands of the east, and it was this castle that the Empire needed to bring to its knees before it could conquer Ferelden. That was not an easy task, for while the folk of Redcliffe are simple they are also proud of their ancient role as Ferelden's first line of defense. (There is iron in the hills, as there is in the people) goes the local saying, and none disbelieve it.
