9:27 Dragon.
Cullen arrives at his first assignment to the Kinloch Hold Circle Tower on Lake Calenhad, in his home arling of Redcliffe and just a few days and a ferry ride from the village of Honnleath. But his whole life is different. Cullen begins to learn to operate in a world where Fereldans must cooperate with Orlesians and humans with elves, where mages usually speak about Templars rather than to them, and Cullen's entire experience of reality is filtered through the lens of a lyrium dust.
In the first few weeks' of his time at Kinloch Hold, Cullen is still making an impression on the inmates of the Tower, mages and Templars alike, when he observes something after the rest day service that pulls him into a series of events that will make him unforgettable to them all, as well as show him exactly what he has signed up for with the Templar Knights.

Summary
When Duncan told Gwyn Cousland to seek out another Grey Warden in the camp at Ostagar, she went looking for another middle-aged, grim-faced veteran. She found instead a young man with a hauntingly familiar face, and the younger child of the teyrn of Highever who through the past five years had been steadily confirming her reputation as a backcountry eccentric, now possibly the last hope for her nearly extinguished house, found herself hurled right into the heart of Ferelden politics.
Alistair and Gwyn Cousland, from their first meeting on the field at Ostagar to the last moments before the sunrise before the final march on Denerim. Mostly canon until the very end, with AU elements.

"The shems said no one was meant to die in the purge. King Cailan was an advocate for his people, but those people must be law-abiding. Because everyone in the alienage was just going to sit down and take it when men with swords and axes kicked down the doors to their homes, smashed in the windows of their shops.
So here they were, packing Soris's things into bags, because no one was meant to die."
After Soris's parents and a handful of others are killed in Arl Urien's purge of the alienage, Soris moves in with Cyrion, Tirrian, and Shianni. The house once again has four people in it, but it's nothing like it was before.

“Tavish wasn’t insensible of Rutherford’s appeal. Common-born, no advantages of education, funding, or connection, Rutherford was doing more than holding his own against the others; he was thriving. He was tall, well-built, earnest, diligent. He had the makings of an officer soldiers would fight and die for someday. And Tavish wasn’t sure Rutherford would ever make a good Templar for just that reason.”
Two years older than his class of Templar recruits and already a teacher of younger combat trainees, Cullen Rutherford is up for consideration for early vows and entrance into the Order, but Knight-Commander Tavish has serious reservations about the young man.

“Eamon had always made it abundantly clear that he was a bastard and a commoner; the Lady Isolde, in the little less than a year that she'd had, that anything anyone gave him was more than he deserved. But his whole life, there’d been that second message, veiled—
‘You’re a bastard and a commoner. Be grateful for what you’ve got, and don’t expect anything, but—'
But.”
Alistair advances at the Bournshire Monastery. He does well in combat training for the Templars and enjoys his academic studies. He establishes a wary truce, if not friendship, with the other ward children.
