One of the four recruitment objectives that make up the seventh main quest of the Dragon Age: Origins video-game. The story follows the player and company after arriving at a Dalish camp within Brecilian Forest in order to recruit Keeper Zathrian's elves into the new Ferelden army.
The Dalish elf clans, nomadic survivors of the long fallen elven empire, have little love for the kingdoms of humanity, but the darkspawn will not spare them either and they are compelled to aid the Grey Wardens against the Blight. Encountering a Dalish clan within the forests to the south-east of Ferelden, the Warden's party discover the elves are being attacked by werewolves, and many in the clan have been infected with lycanthropy. The clan's Keeper (a mixture of tribal chieftain and shaman) Zathrian, requests the Warden bring him the heart of the werewolves' leader, as it will allow him to cure the afflicted, but as they venture into the forests, the Wardens discover that the werewolves seek redress of an ancient wrong done to them by the elves, and the Warden must decide whose side they will take in a bitter dispute spanning centuries.
