Dragon Age: Origins: The Coldest Hour is the One Just Before the Dawn: the Landsmeet and the Journey to Redcliffe castle
As the main doors to the landsmeet chamber opened and Nik and his group walk in one of the nobles from the back shreiks in fright seeing armed and armoured figures enter covered in blood, none of it their own. "So warden tell us how much was your loyalty worth? how much did those orleisians pay you?" asks Teryn Loghain Mac Tir as Nik and his group reach the front. "It's yor crimes we're discussing here Loghain" Nik says as he stands before Loghaine. on his back was Loghain's leiutenant Ser Cathurien's blade the Summer Sword, the blade is as long as Nik is tall and sharper then a noblewoman's tounge.
"My crimes, you burst inhere covered in the blood of good men and women and acuse me of commiting crimes?" Loghain asks sarcasticly. "Yes your crimes, such as letting Rendon Howe imprision and tourture innocent men" Nik replies locking eyes with Loghain. "It's true, my son was taken under cover of night, some of the things done to him are beyond any healer's skills!" A noble shouts from the upper floor causeing several people to gasp. "What Howe does in his own home I have no control over" says Loghain.
"Can you justify selling elves to the Tevinter?" the tall elven assassin Zeveran spat. "Selling elves, Explain yourself Loghain" the same noble who had stood up for Nik said. "This is war, surely there is more to be concerned about then selling a few elven peasents" Loghain responds. "But let us talk about what you did to my daughter". "We did nothing to your daughter" Nik says. "These brigands broke into the Arl's estate and tried to kidnapp my daughter" Loghain says. "I think I can speak for myself Father" Anora says as she enters the room. "Lords and Ladies of Ferelden, My father is not the man you knew him as, he has gone powermad and paranoid" Anora says explaining all her father has done.
"I call for a vote" Arl Eamon says from his position and various voices cry out. "Wakeing sea stands with the warden, the western hills stands with the warden Maker help us, Dragon's peak stands with the warden, the south stands with the wardens, I stand By Loghain". "It's over Loghaine the landsmeet has spoken" Nik says.
"It's not over yet" Loghain says reaching for his sword. "Then let us finish this honorably" Nik says. "Will you fight me yourself or do you have a champion?" Loghain asks standing. "Sten of the beresaad shall be my champion" Nik says as Sten steps up. "Finaly" Sten says as he aproaches Loghain and draws his faithful sword Asala. After just a few minuets of combat Loghain lies bloody and beaten at Sten's feet. "It is over, I surrender" says Loghain looking down. "Very well I accept your surrender" Nik says.
"You can't be serious, this man killed Duncan!" shouts Alistair. "Alistair, with all due respect, shut the fuck up. You may be a capable fighter, but you lack the capacity to be serious for more then five bloody seconds" says Nik. "How dare you" Alastair says as he takes a step towards Nik his longsword raised. "If you take one more step towards him I shall kill you where you stand" the red haired beauty Leliana says as she draws her bow and aims an arrow right between Alastair's eyes. "Oh this is going so well" the sorceress of the wilds Morrigan says sarcasticly. "Enough!" Anora roars silenceing everyone in the hall.
"Gaurds take Alastair into custody" she says. "I beleive I have a soulution to this, I have enough materials to perform a joining, we could put Loghain through it" the older Grey Warden Riordan says walking up. "Then it is settled Teryn Loghain shall be put through the joining" Nik says.
Many hours later at Arl Eamon's estate the ritual makeing Loghain a Warden is a failure resulting in the death of Teryn Loghain Mac Tir leaveing Nik and Riordin the last two Grey Wardens left in fFerelden. "The Arl has left for Redcliffe and asks that you follow when you are ready" Queen Anora says as she leaves the room. A few days later Nik and his companionsarrive at the bridge that leads to Redcliffe castle only to find the bodies of the towns people and a small group of Darkspawn. "STEN!" Nik calls as he uses the Summer Sword to flip a Hurlock over him directly into the blade of Asala.
