Much of the Dalish's history was lost to the Tevinter Imperium, who enslaved the elves after Arlathan's fall. A proud nomadic people, the Dalish strive to recover all that was lost to them with the fall of Arlathan, but more than anything, they long to find a home they can call their own. Dragon Age's Dalish elves are a long-persecuted and misunderstood race that has been playable since the first game.
