Villa Maurel

Villa Maurel is the former estate of Lord Ramond Maurel, situated in the Emerald Graves in the Dales of Orlais.

Background

During the War of the Lions, Lord Maurel abandons the Villa for the safety of Val Royeaux, dismissing his staff and hiding his valuables away in a secured room, one which may only be opened via using a runed key. The abandoned Villa then is taken over by the Freemen of the Dales, deserters of the Orlesian Imperial Army looking to establish a new settlement under their own banner, and is currently serving as their headquarters.

Involvement

Dragon Age: Inquisition.

The operations being carried out by the Freemen of the Dales in Villa Maurel, unbeknownst to them, are in servitude of the Elder One. The Freemen are being manipulated by the Venatori and the Red Templars of whom are both actively progressing the Elder One's sinister agenda. After clashing with Costeau, a corrupt Chantry sister and high ranking member of Freemen (operating out of the Veridium Mine), the Inquisitor sets out to investigate Villa Maurel and confront another Freemen's high ranking member, Commander Duhaime.
