This is our second release in a set of themed mods we have been working on. It is the \"sister\" mod of Sword of Mercy. We hope you enjoy this one as much as our first one, Elvhenan Weapons. We added an elf vendor that will carry these for those of you who would like to \"earn\" them in a more standard gameplay fashion. Rapture-X Vendor
History of Andraste\'s Weapons
\"These weapons were given to Andraste to help her fight the Tevinter Imperium by the elves. This set was thought to have been lost along with the Elvhenan weapons. The magisters\' confidence was shaken due to the towering reputations of these blades now in the hands of Andraste. This set was one of the greatest treasures the elves still possessed that had not been stolen or looted by the Imperium. Though these weapons were of lesser purity than the pinnacle of elven craftsmanship, the Elvhenan weapons, they still were weapons of great power. They were forged in a similar manner and the metal was dubbed \"Alamarri Steel\" after the smith who first used this method, Alamar. He had a very distinctive style and it was easy to recognize when it was his work.
The elves were granted land in the Dales for their loyalty in the struggle against the Tevinter Imperium by Maferath and Andraste\'s sons. The set later began to be called \"Vir Adahlen\" which means \"Way of the Forest\" by the elves inhabiting the Dales. This was taken from the Dalish code of the same name which states, \"Together we are stronger than the one\". The Dagger, named Vir and the longsword, named Adahlen were beautiful and elegant weapons that the elves had believed Andraste was fit to wield.
In the years to come, the humans respected the elves\' right to pursue their lost lore and culture, including the worship of their former gods. Over time as the Chant of Light and the worship of the Maker spread, diplomatic relations were strained. The elves refused to be converted by the Chantry to worship of the Maker. This eventually lead to the Exalted March against them with the Chantry claiming they been attacked by the Dales. The elves were horrified to see the gifts they had given Andraste being used against them.
Sometime soon after the Dales fell, an elven master rogue broke into the Chantry where they were stored and spirited them off to a location unknown. She was a follower of the \"Vir Bor\'Assan\" aspect of the Dalish code which means \"Way of the Bow\" whose blood burned at the thought of the Chantry having possession of these weapons and having used them against her people. The Vir Bor\'Assan code states \"Bend, but never break\". No one knew where she put them.
The next appearance of these weapons didn\'t occur until Garahel, the elven Grey Warden Hero of the Fourth Blight, showed up with them at the liberation of Hossberg in 5:20 Exalted. He carried them until he faced and slayed the Archdemon, Andoral, and thus lost his own life. Th
