📋 About This Mod

Story of the Determination of Alistair... *** As Alistair and Duncan entered through the gates of Denerim, the ear to ear grin he had been wearing since what he considered his Maker answered rescue from a fate worse than death itself, the life of a Templar, grew only wider with each step. He had been to Denerim before, as a child with Arl Eamon, those memories while some of the most pleasant of his young life had still been marred with sleeping in stables and a general feeling of despair. Now he was a proud Grey Warden, no longer just a bastard child whose existence was a burden. His revelry at his new life and position was cut short by a purring voice near his ear. \"Hey handsome, how about you but me an Ale and I will only charge you two bits for a tumble!\" offered a very buxom and scantily clad red headed woman to his left. \"Two bits for a tu...oh! No!\" Stammered Alistair as Duncan chuckling continued to direct him to where the Wardens had been staying in Denerim. The other Wardens greeted their new recruit with jokes and warmth. Having already been through the joining, the Wardens were more at ease with Alistair, able to be open about the hardships and demands of their joint life. Duncan led him to where he would bunk for the next few days and bid his farewells as he was off to the palace to meet with King Cailin. As Alistair sat, regarding his new albeit temporary home, he noticed to his left a suit of armor complete with a shield and sword emblazoned with the Grey Warden heraldry. He examined the gift left for him with great care and detail. The chance to truly start anew, to remove all evidence of his unhappy years at the Chantry was as precious to him. The armor, grey iron and of ceremonial design, was a symbol to Alistair, a symbol of his new life, a life he had dreamt of as a child playing with figurines of Knights and creepy Golems, slaying evil dragons and thieving witches, rescuing his true love from a tower fortress and living happily ever after. He was a Grey Warden now and he was determined to succeed at this new chance, this life full of possibility given to him by Duncan. He would be forever grateful. ************************************************ This armor set was originally meant for Alistair at the begining of the game. There are to versions; the first is equipped on Alistair at the intro of the Game (see below) and the second set (for those already further into the game or for another party member) is a veridium meant for after Tower of ishal (but can be used as soon as requirements are met) The sets are not restricted to Alistair but strength requirements need to be met to wear the armor. Armor set (tested) is able to be upgraded at Soldiers Peak if you have the Warden\'s Keep DLC. At level 10 was able to upgrade from grey iron to silverite for all items, although it only works once so plan accordingly. All costs of items intentionally left low to account for this. The set is
