Denerim is an important city inDragon Age, serving as the capital city of Ferelden. As of 9:30 Dragon, the city has a population of 70,000 people, including humans, elves, and dwarves. While it is a place of political value, as it is where the King and Queen live and where Landsmeets happen, it is also considered a holy place by some Andrastians.
