Amaranthine City was chosen to be saved. The defenses of Vigil’s Keep were able to keep the darkspawn at bay until the battle was concluded, but not without heavy losses.

The Peasant’s Revolt
The rioters were provided with food and convinced to disperse. Though more uprisings occurred, it could have been worse.

The Architect
Aedan chose to ally and bargain with the Architect. **Not known outside of the Grey Wardens**

Kal’Hirol
The great thaig was cleared of darkspawn, and the plate honoring the sacrifice of the casteless was recovered and returned to Orzammar.

Without the area being haunted, the village is slowly being rebuilt as people settle in the area.
