This is where I met Alistair, a good-natured templar who had also been conscripted by Duncan. Commander Duncan invoked the Right of Conscription to recruit me as a Grey Warden, so I left with him to travel to Ostagar. I was arrested by the city guard for murdering Vaughan Kendells, the son of the Arl. My nice wedding clothes, spattered in blood I was a male city elf rogue, so I started in the alienage (elven ghetto) of the capital city, Denerim. Unlike the tired old opening chapters of NWN & NWN2, DA:O has 6 different beginnings depending on the origin of the player character.
