人类贵族起源

“For generations, your family, the Couslands, has stewarded the lands of Highever, earning the loyalty of your people with justice and temperance. When your country was occupied by the Orlesian Empire, your father and grandfather served the embattled kings of your land. Today, your elder brother takes up House Cousland’s banner in service to the Crown——not against the men of Orlais, but against the bestial darkspawn rising in the south.”

人类贵族起源是龙之纪元：起源中六个可选择的起源之一。玩家将扮演费罗登最有权势的贵族家族——至高堡公爵的孩子。男性默认名字为“艾丹·库斯兰”，女性默认名字为“艾丽莎·库斯兰”。

引言

有些地方的统治着们相信是造物主本人授予他们如此的权利，但在弗雷登（Ferelden），一个统治者要自己挣得他的地位。当奥莱（Orlais）帝国试图占有这块土地的时候，他们沮丧发现这里的贵族阶层并不甘于束手就擒，并最终被这里的人民推翻。

科士兰（Cousland）家族自弗雷登的第一任国王前，文明的启蒙阶段起，就已开始管理海沃（Highever）的领土。他们能做到这点全靠着他们在人民那里挣得的尊敬，这来自于他们的公正、自制与带领他们的人民战斗的勇气而树立起的名誉。当黑灵（Darkspawn）大举涌入南方，海沃的Teyrn责无旁贷的再次发出号召：为着责任所在，必须立即集结一支军队出征，以解凯兰（Cailan）国王之困。

然而，科士兰家族很快将会发现，弗雷登的黑暗不只流淌于南方邪恶大军的血液。海沃城堡的高墙上潜伏着背叛的阴影，有人将不惜利用Blight的机会满足自己的野心。

作为科士兰家族一名年轻的幼子，执掌家族旗帜的责任将落在你的肩头。你会不负家族傲人的传统，还是无视后果自寻前路？

剧情

Teyrn Bryce Cousland and his oldest son Fergus are preparing to heed King Cailan's call to battle darkspawn at Ostagar. Arl Rendon Howe of Amaranthine waits for his forces to join the teyrn's at Highever. The tardiness of Howe's men is being discussed in the main hall as Fergus' younger sibling (the PC) enters; s/he is greeted by Arl Howe and Teyrn Cousland, and introduced to Duncan. The latter, a senior Grey Warden, explains his mission and suggests that the PC would be a promising recruit--already knowing this idea will be dismissed by the teyrn. After being tasked with instructing Fergus to depart immediately with the bulk of the Cousland forces, the PC is intercepted by Ser Gilmore, a knight in Highever's service; Teyrna Eleanor Cousland wishes her youngest child to collect his/her dog, prompting another quest. After finishing both tasks, the PC heads for bed.

In the night, Arl Howe's "late" men seize the castle. The PC wakes up, fights a way out of his/her bedroom and finds the teyrna, who explains that the teyrn is missing. A quick search will reveal Fergus' son and wife murdered, along with the other guests. Teyrna Eleanor, saddened and outraged, suggests retrieving a family heirloom or two. In the main hall Ser Gilmore, directing the few remaining defenders, says the teyrn has headed for the kitchen.

In the pantry they find the teyrn, gravely wounded. Duncan fights his way in and asks to recruit the PC. Bryce relents, wanting his youngest child to tell Fergus what has happened. Duncan offers to bring the teyrna too, but she refuses to leave her husband's side--and the teyrn is too injured to travel.

结果

玩家将同邓肯一起前往奥斯塔伽，受到凯兰国王的迎接。国王提到福格斯正在可卡瑞荒原巡逻，但此刻玩家无法找到他。（福格斯的经历最终将在收尾中揭晓。） 玩家初次到达奥斯塔伽时将获得成就家族末裔。

小事记

• Teyrna Cousland recognises Howe's men by their shields, but very few of those encountered bear shields, let alone this one.
• After killing the Giant Rats in the Pantry, Ser Gilmore mentions that it "sounds like the start to every bad adventure tale my grandfather used to tell me". This a reference to "giant rats" being the first enemy fought in many fantasy RPGs.
• The majority of the Human Noble Origin was written by BioWare lead writer David Gaider.

• 只有选择这个起源玩家才可以同阿历斯泰或安诺拉结婚。

漏洞

• In Mischief in the Larder, the pantry door leading to the kitchen area may not open or unlock after defeating the rats and the opportunity to name Dog. To avoid this, refrain from spamming the Escape key to skip ahead, and let Ser Gilmore initiate the next conversation instead of clicking on him.
• The northern door of the main hall may become stuck and prevent you from completing the quest. To avoid this, save just after The Cousland Treasury is initiated; make opening that northern door your first priority (after surviving the fights along the way, and before retrieving gear from the treasury) and wait for Ser Gilmore to tell you about the teyrn (rather than attempting to initiate conversation yourself).
