Aladuchar Aeducan

As you know, I'm a huge fan of Bioware and absolutely love their role playing games. In fact, my favourite RPG of all time is easily Baldur's Gate 2. So as you can imagine, I purchased Dragon Age:Origins the first chance I got!

Obviously, I haven't played enough of the game to give any meaningful impressions. However, what I wanted to do was keep a running commentary on my character and how he develops. The advantage of this is that it will allow me to keep track of my character's personality that I am roleplaying and how it gets affected by different in game events.

It also goes without saying that these posts will have HUGE spoilers so you should skip if you want to avoid them (although this post will be spoiler free as its mainly an introduction to the character).

Anyway, if you want to avoid spoilers, you can tell if the post is about the game as it will have Aladuchar as the first word in the title.

So without any further ado, let me introduce you to Aladuchar of House Aeducan.

Aladuchar Aeducan
It is said that the dwarven halls of Orzammar run deep. Certainly, despite having lived there all his life, Lord Aladuchar Aeducan has never fully explored the depths of the largest and proudest of the two remaining dwarven cities.



In many ways, Lord Aeducan is a man of contradictions.

The second son of King Endrin Aeducan, Aladuchar has always enjoyed the privileges that his rank entitles him to. He is royalty and makes sure that none forget this. But despite his nobility, or perhaps because of it, he truly is a noble man in many ways who is willing to overlook the minor slights and insults thrown at him by others of lesser station.

But alas, true nobility in the world of Orzammar is a rare beast. For while others merely made the pretense of being noble, Aladuchar was saddled with the difficult task of actually being noble. Such naivete does not last long in the cut-throat world of Dwarven politics.

A genius at Machiavellian plots, Aladuchar weaved his way through the murky world of temporary alliances and shady assassinations. Loved by the Assembly and a favourite of the masses. Or at least, that is what he believes. The reality is that he lacks the cunning and ruthlessness to truly excel in Dwarven politics. His fame and glory arise from the one thing that Aladuchar truly excels at - combat.

And he will need all of his abilities as King Endrin, his father, has just honoured him with a commission in the army. Indeed, the darkspawn will rue the day they attacked Orzammar and all within will praise Aladuchar's glory, fame and honour.
