The rumors and stories started instantly after the Landsmeet. They were told in the Nobel's estates, the soldier's barracks and common people's homes. In taverns those who had been in the Landsmeet chambers at the time, were listened carefully, and the tellers had almost always full goblet of wine or a tankard of beer front of them.
The only certainties were that the regent and General Loghain, had died. He had lost a duel with the warden.
The Landsmeet had recognized king Maric son Alistair as heir to the throne, and he had betrothed Widow Queen Anora. Nobles had sworn allegiance to them, and the civil war had been avoided.
Armies would soon leave towards south where darkspawns were destroying the country.
