The Dales

“Andraste's path was difficult, as was ours. But we did not falter, as she did not. And we will be rewarded, just as she was. Elves were guilty of the greatest sin, of turning from the Maker. But we will show them mercy, for that is what Andraste teaches...when her chant is spoken from all countries of the world, the Maker will return. We are one day closer to his coming. Even The Betrayer had a part to play. Who are we to say elves do not?” ―From a sermon given by Sister Amity, at the conclusion of the Burning of the Dales

Demographics

The Dales consisted of the Elves and was used as their homeland away from The Orlesian Empire.

Government

The Dalish had the Sentinal Elves, armor-clad elves who would disperse the wisdom of their many gods, and the Elvhenan, the common folk.

Defences

The Sentinal Elves were not only the students of faith but warriors built to defend their homeland. However, their strength could not stop The Orlesian Empire.

Industry & Trade

The Dales did not do trade with any other nations or states. Their society was completely self sufficient.

Infrastructure

They say that The Dales was a city built high above the ground, a network of walkways and bridges connecting large structures.

History

It is said the reason The Orlesian Empire hates the Elves is because they did not send reinforcments to help Orlais with the First Blight. 
Legend tells of that the reason the elven gods did not give aid to the Dalish during the burning of The Dales is because of Fen' Harel. Supposedly he sealed away the gods and created The Veil.
