Memories

The Three Great tribes have large lot of land. They have three areas outside the Shadowlands

These three area is the ancestral lands of the Three Great tribes. But regardless of the size of the land, they live near the Darkness. 

So, this area is always subject to attack of the Darkspawn. 

For some reason, the Three Great Tribes have always been the protector of the New World from the incursion of Dark Spawn that was birthed out from the Darkness

As for the real land where the Three Great tribes lives, it is the Three Kingdoms, the Shadowland, a land where it is shrouded by darkness and monsters of the Dark. 

They have the same roots yet they did not exactly have the same culture or the same methods of governance. 

Arial recognizes this and because of that he knows he needs to forget what he thinks he knows about the Thirteen tribe and learn from the beginning.
