Along with the child, there is a Paragon named Erahel who is evidenced to have died at Caridin's Cross. For example, there is evidence of a child Paragon that is memorialized at Caridin's Cross, but it was vandalized by darkspawn.
There is evidence of Paragons long forgotten as well. If the Dragon Age: Origins Warden is of dwarven origin, then they become a Paragon for their part in ending the Fifth Blight. One Paragon even got his title by discovering that nugs are edible. There is also a funny easter egg of Paragon Suess, who lived in the Glory Age and was known for his rhyming skills.Īmong Paragons are also builders, like Hekkat, who founded the system to build the massive structures Thaigs are known for. There is also Paragon Ortan, who composed the Seven Brothers and the Ortanic Symphony, which is known as a grand epic. He wrote Songs That Only Nugs Can Hear and H ow the Deepstalker Came to Be. In terms of artists, Ebryan became a Paragon for writing popular children's books in the Exalted Age.

He was Gherlen the Blood-Risen and went to the surface for time to make a name and then came back to Orzammar. This is in relation to Varric Tethras, though the house was eventually banished to the surface for fixing Proving matches.Ī casteless dwarf became both Paragon and king as well. Stricken with guilt, he changed the family name to Tethras. However, it was later revealed that Carta murdered her. He believed his son, Tethras, killed his sister, so he banished him to the Deep Roads. There is also Garen Orrick, a king, and Paragon that ruled in the Exalted Age. Endrin Stonehammer also served as a King and was named a Paragon on his deathbed. There is debate among scholars whether Stonehammer or Orseck decided to make Orzammar the dwarven capital. Another Paragon king is Garal Orseck, who lived in ancient times and was named Paragon by Endrin Stonehammer. He ruled Orzammar and established that the warrior caste is in service to the king during times of war. Paragon Bemot was a commoner who became a king and Paragon simultaneously. RELATED: Red Dead and Dragon Age Have One Small Thing in Common The King at the time ordered that all be sealed to protect Orzammar and Egon left for the surface because he "rather die under an alien sky than be buried in the Stone that betrayed them." He fought darkspawn in defense of the Hormak Kingdom, but the army lost and the kingdom fell. In the Ancient Age, Egon Wintersbreath was named a Paragon for being one of the greatest dwarven warriors of his time. Due to this, the Silent Sisters also cut out their tongues and fight with just their hands. She also won the Grand Proving with just her bare hands. She wanted this changed and was ignored, so she cut out her tongue in protest. Before her death, dwarven tradition did not allow women to be soldiers.
This not only got her the title of Paragon, but the Silent Sisters, an all-female order of warriors, were founded in her honor. In the Divine Age, Astyth sacrificed her own life to save the King of Orzammar from an assassin. According to scholars, Aeducan was voted to be a Paragon unanimously because Assembly members immediately killed the one who voted against it.Īnother warrior Paragon is Astyth the Grey, the first female Paragon of the Warrior caste. This was an especially big deal, as the dwarven empire at the time was nearly destroyed. One of the most famous is Aeducan, who lead armies in Orzammar against the First Blight darkspawn. There are a good number of warrior Paragons.
