I never wanted this. I want that to be known. Because in the days that come there will be countless that remember me as a hero. From the halls of Orzammar to the deep woods of the wilds they will sing songs of my name, tell stories of my glory…stories about how a lowly half breed from the slums of the Denerim Alienage became the saviour of all of Thedas. How, against all odds, I defeated the archdemon. Rebuilt an order of forgotten warriors. Found a home for my people. Brought peace to the lands. But not one of them will tell the story of how I never wanted to. I am not a hero. I am not a saviour. I just did what had to be done because there was no one else left to do it.

- Heid Faraan. Warden Commander.
As the title implies, this is the preface for my Dragon Age: Origins fanfic. It's been an idea that I've had floating around for a while, and I decided that if I ever actually wanted to write something big...I'd need to start somewhere. The story itself will revolve around my OC Warden named Heid (pronounced HEED) and his journey through the events of Dragon Age: Origins. I've taken some liberties with events and characters to fit it more with the story I'm trying to tell, so if something seems out of place (lest it be lore defying) it's done intentionally. It's been a while since I've submitted anything, so here goes! Hope you enjoy this and the chapters to come.

(Need to work on more artwork for it, but here's my Warden Heid, older and more battle hardened: [link])
