In 5:33 Exalted, Calenhad defeated Simeon in the Battle of the White Valley and was named teyrn of Denerim. Дenerim used to belong to Teyrn Simeon, Calenhad Theirin's biggest rival in the bid for kingship over the nation that is now known as Ferelden. However, after the tower was razed, the Circle moved to Kinloch Hold in 3:87 Towers.

The city of Denerim used to host the local Circle of Magi in a tower. The city that has sprung up around it has almost been carved out of the side of the mountain it rests on, and during the Dragon Age, its population has grown beyond the city's ability to cope. Today that tower still stands as Fort Drakon, immediately recognizable to any ship that approaches the rocky coast. As the Imperium faded, the tower passed to the hands of the teyrns that ruled the region for a millennium. Its mages rose up a dark tower from the side of a mountain, a symbol of the Imperium's power. History Дenerim, the capital of Ferelden, originally began as an outpost of the ancient Tevinter Imperium. Businesses such as brothels and gambling halls are not only tolerated but expected. Commerce is largely unregulated as long as taxes are paid. Even so, while the worst offenses are put down, petty crimes are often ignored and the citizenry left to their own recourses. The KingвЂ™s Patrol is intended more to defend the city and keep order rather than to enforce the laws, though it has expanded into the latter role, to a certain extent, over time. The Fereldan penchant for personal freedom engenders a laissez-faire attitude towards law enforcement and public behavior in general. Д«y civilized standards Fereldan cities are anarchic, and Denerim is no exception. The worst of the Poor Quarter is the Elven Alienage, which is walled off from the rest of the city. DenerimвЂ™s Poor Quarter, near the base of the hill, has been accurately called a labyrinth, on top of being filthy from both the mud in the roads and the lack of a proper sewage system. The narrow streets of the Lower Docks have an almost labyrinthine quality, and the walled-off elven Alienage is so overpopulated that several purges have been required to keep order in the last decade alone.ДЇurther down the hill, the Market District is the heart of DenerimвЂ™s bustling trade. Inns and taverns are found near the cityвЂ™s gates trade markets are surrounded by shops, warehouses, and guild-houses and in between them all, houses are packed practically on top of one another. At best, buildings are arranged according to their functions. Buildings have been laid down-and thus, streets and alleys formed-haphazardly, according to no common plan. Today, most of the streets in Denerim are made of packed dirt, with only the wealthier streets being fully cobbled. The core castle remains (and in fact, has grown into a full-fledged fortress) while the city has grown rapidly around it. Over decades and ages, though, buildings grow up outside these fortifications as the dangers of war recede. The following characters, lore and events in this section are non-canon in Dragon Age and exist only within the Dragon Age tabletop RPG.ДЄny given Fereldan city was likely once a lone fort or castle where the regionвЂ™s people could be gathered in case of attack. This is how things are done in Denerim, and the locals would have it no other way.

Worshipers come from far and wide to touch the Birth Rock and issue a quiet and respectful prayer. In typical Fereldan fashion, however, the monument erected to the prophet in the Palace District is unassuming a great rock adorned with a simple message of peace. To the rest of the world, Denerim is most famous as the birthplace of Andraste. Almost all nobles who are capable of doing so maintain an estate within the city even if they use it only when a Landsmeet is called. Near the fortress can be found the Royal Palace, noble estates, wide parkways, beautiful chantries, and the homes of merchant princes. OneвЂ™s social standing can be measured by how close one lives to Fort Drakon, the oldest and highest edifice in Denerim.
