The Battle of Vigil's Keep was the first conflict involving the Grey Wardens in the Darkspawn Civil War in 9:31 Dragon. After the end of the Fifth Blight, darkspawn stragglers terrorized small human settlements. Before the newly appointed Warden-Commander arrived at Vigil's Keep, the Architect sent an ambassador to the Keep along with a contingent of darkspawn to negotiate with the Wardens.
