Dragon Age: Origins Dalish Elf Origin Details

BioWare has added the Dalish Elf origin to the official Dragon Age: Origins website, complete with the usual trailer and short description.

“We are the Dalish: keepers of the lost lore, walkers of the lonely path.
We are the last of the Elvhenan, and never again shall we submit.”

This is the oath the Dalish elves hold close to their hearts. In ancient times, the elves ruled over Thedas alone, ageless and beautiful, until the humans came. Enslaved for a thousand years, the elves lost not only their immortality but their very identity. The Dalish are those elves who refuse to live in human cities, proudly wandering the most remote corners of the wild lands in small clans that rarely meet. Their wagons are welcome nowhere, and more than one tale is told of the Dalish clashing with remote villagers who attempt to drive them away by force.
