When King Cailan's men fell due to Loghain's treachery and the sheer number of darkspawn they were pitted against in defense of their country, Thalia was ordered as a dispatch runner to warn Lothering, the closest settlement an her home. She did so, running for two days straight and getting a good distance between her and the darkspawn horde. When she finally arrived in Lothering, the darkspawn only a day behind her, she ordered her four younger siblings and parents to pack up and get out. Once the Hawkes were safely out, Thalia alerted the rest of the town and then ran with her family towards the Wilds. Fleeing in the direction that would take them to a small harbor town on the coast, roughly three days' travel from Lothering, they met Aveline Vallen and her husband, Ser Wesley. Near the area they met the couple, the group encountered an ogre that killed Carver as he and Malcolm defended Leandra. After the battle with the ogre, the darkspawn horde finally caught up to the exhausted party and surrounded them. Flemeth, the Witch of the Wilds, saved them in exchange for a service: they simply had to deliver an amulet to a Dalish keeper whose clan occupied the base of Sundermount, a half a day's travel from Kirkwall. Wesley collapsed and succumbed to the darkspawn taint, leaving Aveline to put him out of his misery. Thalia agreed to Flemeth's fairly simple request on behalf of the group and carried the amulet across the ocean on the ship she, her family, Aveline, and other refugees boarded. When they arrived in Kirkwall, they discovered that their uncle Gamlen had gambled away the estate and money that had been left to Leandra after her parents' death. While Thalia was angry, she was nowhere near the level of pure fury Garrett had attained, and her younger brother poisoned their uncle after he'd come home drunk as a fish from a night out at the Blooming Rose. Agreeing not to tell their parents, the siblings made it look like Gamlen had passed of a heart attack in his sleep. Leandra grieved for only a little while about her brother's death. While Garrett brough home coin for completing contracts for Meeran, the frontman of the mercenary company 'The Red Iron', Bethany and Marian helped Thalia work for Athenril, an elven smuggler. Months before the coin could be saved up for the expedition, Malcolm contracted a disease that affected his lungs. Desperate to save him, Thalia and her siblings called on all their contacts and spent much of their stockpiled money on doctor visits, potions, and healer calls, but to no avail. Malcolm died and plunged his wife and eldest child into a deep pit of grief.
