Sure enough, just as the wedding ceremony is starting up, they reappear with armed guards and take all the females of the wedding party away. Just as things get rowdy, your female cousin smashes a jug on the snootiest (and highest ranking) nobleman. It's not clear, but the situation seems similar to primae noctis, the feudal right of the lords to sleep with brides first. As you go off to meet the prospective mates a bunch of boorish human noblemen crash the party. YES NO Events start coming to a head when you meet up with your male cousin who is waiting for his bride apparently it's a double wedding. Then again, you can also tell them to blow off. As you walk around the alienage there are some conversations to be had old friends of your deceased mother want to offer some money as a gift, which is useful because there's another elven family that could use a little bit of charity, if you're willing. It's an arranged marriage and you don't know the groom/bride, so the dialogue choices give you some options to express how happy or reluctant you are about the whole affair. Regardless of your choice, the story begins the same you're awakened by your female cousin on your wedding day. That's the situation at the start of the City Elf campaign, but how it unfolds differs a bit depending on what gender you play as.

However, the elves are still discriminated against and looked down upon by humans, with city elves as basically indentured servants who live in slums called alienages.

Elves used to be held in slavery, until the prophet Andraste (the creator of the main religion in the game) abolished it 400 years prior to the events of the game. The former are beaten down urban dwellers while the latter are still wild elves who live as nomadic groups in the wilderness. There are two kind of elves in Dragon Age: City Elves and the Daleish. In our final look at the prologues, we take a look at the City Elves. In the previous two weeks we've looked at the Human Noble and the Dwarven Noble prologue stories. Dragon Age: Origins has six prologue stories that you can start the game with.
