Dragon Age 2 Scenery - Chateau Haine
Chateau Haine was constructed as a fortress in 4:90 by Lord de la Haine. He tried to seize power in the Free Marches and was sentenced to be executed. He fled to Fortress Haine, pursued by his enemies. The siege lasted for 100 days before the besiegers hired the services of the Antivan Crows. The Crows entered the fortress and slit the lord's throat while he slept.
The castle sat empty for 30 years before being used as a stronghold by the Grey Wardens during the Fourth Blight. Caves and an artificial lake were constructed under the mountain to house thousands of refugees from nearby Marcher cities.
After the Blight, Fortress Haine was granted to Ser Gaston de Montfort, a chevalier who distinguished himself by leading the cavalry at the Battle of Ayesleigh. It's the current vacation villa of Duke Prosper de Montfort.
