Ferelden, as we think of it now, did not exist before the Exalted Age. Instead, the valley was divided up into dozens of old Alamarri clans. They warred constantly with one another over land, honor, the allegiance of the freeholders, and, on one notable occasion, the name given to a favorite mabari. And then, in the 33rd year of the Exalted Age, Calenhad Theirin became teyrn of Denerim, and everything changed. --From Ferelden: Folklore and History, by Sister Petrine, Chantry scholar== Related codex entries ==
