Grey Warden Notes: Alim Surana

Earlier this year, I did the 30 Day Grey Warden challenge created by fearliath. The Warden I chose was Kasia Brosca (and I still need to write a master post), but I liked the exercise so much that I want to do it for all my other Wardens. However, I'd rather not commit to writing them meme-style over a month, or necessarily to answering all the questions for every Warden. So instead, I will write up long posts for each one and put them here, as a good background writing exercise. I started with Alim Surana, because I decided I wanted him to be the import Warden for my pro-templar Hawke game (which I finished not too long ago, wrap-up post is here). Most of this was written several months ago, but now I've finally gotten around to getting it ready for publication.



Here are a few more pictures of Alim (of varying quality).

1. Basics. A basic profile of your Warden.
Alim Surana: Circle Mage, Grey Warden, and, briefly, Commander of the Grey. When Duncan came to the Circle Tower, Alim was just shy of 19 years old. Alim was born to an elven family that lived in the alienage at Highever. His magical abilities manifested at a very young age, when he was about four, and his parents immediately surrendered him to the Chantry. He was then taken to Kinloch Hold, which is the only home he remembers with any clarity. He specializes in elemental magic, and his preferred element is fire; he also has a selection of creation and entropy spells, and he later learns the tricks of being a Spirit Healer from Wynne.
