About this mod
The final battle track is good, but there's one that I personally find the most epic battle theme in the entire game - The Battle of Lothering Village. Inon Zur made such an outstanding work with that track that it certainly deserves to be heard not only in Lothering. Also when the stake is the highest. 2.0 expands the idea even more.

"The Battle of the Lothering Village" is an epic track that conveys every emotion one can feel during the Origins journey - impossible odds against you, the darkness seemingly winning and threatening to devour everything. Only to suddenly hear heroic notes which make one fight to the last, fight against the darkness, no matter how strong it is. The Grey Wardens shall prevail, men and women, kings and barbarians, they will not run away in the face of evil. This battle track speaks without words and embodies everything Dragon Age: Origins is about.
That's why a relatively simple edit is very satisfying - an opportunity to fight our last battle, accompanied by that very musical theme.
I decided to use more magic and enchance the original idea. User @Arcano1995 mentioned another underused battle track - the Lake Calenhad combat theme, which is used only in a few short encounters in the location. That's why I created an ultimate battle theme, which consists of three tracks - the vanilla final battle one, which blends into the Calenhad battle music, to end the whole symphony with "The Battle of the Lothering Village". Creating of that combined track was very fun and the effect is very much powerful.
Editing the main campaign's music for an unknown reason conflicts with the tracks from DLCs like Awakening or Leliana's Song - the other campaigns' areas won't display any music tracks. That's why it's important to remove/backup the mod if you plan to play any expansion that is not a part of the main campaign. As I had my suspicions of why that happened - @Afremak confirmed them and that I appreciate - I found a solution, which prevents the conflict between the mod and DLC music tracks.
Good luck with battling the Blight - 2.1 version is ready.
Installation: IMPORTANT
1) (RECOMMENDED) Your disk/Dragon Age(the folder where the game is installed)/packages/core/audio/sound
The four files from this mod must be loose (not in the mod's original folder) and put into the sound folder, replacing the four original files. You can back up the four, but honestly, there's no need for it - nothing is changed in them, except for the upgraded and enhanced final battle theme.
This method of installation is completely compatible with the DLC, such as Awakening.
2) Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/packages/core/override
More standard way of installing mods also works, although in this case, you need to remove/backup the mod if you plan to play Awakening and Leliana's Song, otherwise the music in the DLCs will not be displayed. Reason: the mod's files override not only the Origins files, but also those of the DLCs - Afremak mentions it in his comment.
