Dragon Age: The Origins of the City Elf

The latest Dragon Age: Origins article on IGN covers the City Elf origin, with the usual addition of a short video demonstrating some of the dialogue and encounters from the starter area.
Being a city elf in Dragon Age is a harsh life. Once enslaved by humans, city elves have been exiled to shabby living conditions known as alienages, an existence full of squalor and servitude. Needless to say, the opportunities of joy and amusement are few and far between. So your wedding day is a cause for many in the segregated area to rejoice. However, when a member of the nobility shows up and demands his privilege with the bride, the happiness of the occasion is completely shattered. The repercussions of what happens could shake the Alienage to its very core.
