Vigil's Keep--the base for Grey Wardens in Amaranthine
BioWare’s Community Manager, Chris Priestly, lets us know that four brand new screenshots for the upcoming boxed expansion, Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, are available for your viewing pleasure. The images show Vigil’s Keep, the base for Grey Wardens in Amaranthine. Be sure to check them out.
Vigils’s Keep
Amaranthine was the first of the Fereldan arlings to fall to the Orlesian occupation. As the port city burned, its ruling family, the Howes, fled to the countryside to wage a guerrilla war against the invaders that lasted for generations. No matter how enormous of a bounty the Orlesians promised, they could not rid themselves of the wily Howes and their ever-growing number of sympathizers.
The Howes chose the ancient fortress of Vigil’s Keep as their primary base of operations, hiding the entire rebellion within the vast complex of storage rooms and caves beneath “The Vigil” — right underneath the noses of their oppressors. When the Orlesians were finally ousted, it was at Vigil’s Keep that the flag of Amaranthine was first raised again, amidst cheers of victory. Vigil’s Keep became the new home of the Howes.
But after years of faithful service to the kingdom, Arl Rendon Howe’s ambition brought about his death and his
family’s ruin. Now Vigil’s Keep and the arling of Amaranthine belong to the Grey Wardens.The walls of the Vigil have been manned since the time of the Avvar barbarians. The griffon banner is only the most recent in a long chain. How long will the Wardens’ colors fly?

Looks good, I wonder what kind of development options you will have in here, what type of army you build, ect. I really hope there is a side story of really developing the base.
