spellcasting Emissaries, and Ogres. Leliana Voiced by: Corinne Kempa Leliana is the protagonist of the Origins DLC Leliana's Song, a prequel to the main campaign for Origins which details her complicated past. She is a former bard from the Orlesian Empire, where she often undertook work on the side as an assassin and spy for her patrons. Following the events of Leliana's Song, Leliana is encountered early on in Origins as an optional party member. She had settled down in the Ferelden village of Lothering as a lay sister of the Andrastrian Chantry, and after breaking up a brawl at the local tavern, she insists on joining the Ferelden Wardens after receiving what she believes was a vision from the Maker, the deity venerated by the Chantry.

As such, he is hesitant to trust blood mages (also known as "maleficar") or any mages who operate outside of the Circle. He is a mandatory companion in Origins, and only leaves the party if the Warden allows Loghain to undergo the Joining ritual to become a Grey Warden during the Landsmeet. Alistair is a romance option for female characters, and depending on the choices and origin of the Warden, they can potentially become the King and Queen of Ferelden. The Warden has the opportunity to motivate Alistair, helping him develop his potential as a leader figure, and grow as an individual into becoming mature enough to accept the call to be king should the Warden
