Brood Mother

The Fifth Blight was over, but there was still the threat of the darkspawn. Attacks continued on the settlement of South Reach. Darkspawn were dragging civilians into the ground and noone knew what was keeping them organized. For months, South Reach's population kept getting smaller and smaller. Without aid, South Reach would surely be wiped out and abandoned. With no sign of hope, the last remaining citizens did their best to hold off the darkspawn, until one day a Grey Warden came to the settlement not knowing of the dangers that were plaguing the town and its people. The citizens ran out to greet him and told him of the plight. The Grey Warden introduced himself as Casden and decided he would investigate the cause of these organized attacks. During one of the raids, he followed the darkspawn to their hideout. He followed them until the reached a cave connecting to a series of tunnels that lead to caverns located under South Reach. The citizens were being dragged through the ground and into these caverns to then be brought farther into the caves. He followed them until they reached the main cavern where he saw what was leading these darkspawn.....A Brood Mother. He knew he couldn't do this on his own so he returned to the surface and asked for volunteers to join him, but they were to scared to go. Casden walked to the road and saw an injured dwarf lying near a turned over carriage. He ran over and helped the dwarf into town. He revived the dwarf and asked the dwarf to join him against the darkspawn and their Brood Mother. The dwarf, who introduced himself as Nolhah Grimkiller. They proceeded into the cave and fought many darkspawn on the way to the Brood Mother. They finally reached the Brood Mother and battled her and her personal minions. Casden got the killing blow on the Brood Mother and the attacks ceased. Casden and Nolhah returned to South Reach and Casden inducted Nolhah into the Grey Wardens. Casden used the empty Bann estate as a Grey Warden sanctuary and Nolhah would be lead recruiter.
