* DistractedByTheShiny: The Wardens weaponise this to break the siege of Hossberg in the Anderfels; they bury explosives in the ground outside the city walls, then litter the spot with finely made weapons. Once enough of the darkspawn have gathered and started fighting amongst themselves over the loot, the Wardens detonate the explosives, then counterattack while the darkspawn are reeling from the blast.

When the Antivan nobility call them on it as cowardice, the Wardens bluntly retort that it is practicality. The speed with which the Blight has torn through the rest of the country made it impossible for Antiva City to stockpile the soldiers, supplies and weapons needed to fight a siege, and even if they had, the darkspawn would storm the city long before they tried to starve the population into submission. The Wardens note that the city's defences might hold the darkspawn back for a few weeks...unless the Archdemon makes its presence known, in which case the city will likely fall in a matter of days]].
