The Templars are themselves the military body of the Chantry, the most powerful religious organization in Thedas. Unaffiliated magic-users, known as Apostates, are branded as outlaws and hunted by the Templar Order. Magic exists in this world, with its legally sanctioned power concentrated in the Circle of Magi, an order of mages charged with identifying and training the magically gifted. Guess what age the games begin in? Now you know where the title comes from. Their various kingdoms and countries have emerged over Thedas’s nine centuries of recorded history, each of which is referred to as a separate age. Thedas is inhabited by multiple humanoid peoples, from familiar beings like dwarves and elves to the more imaginative horned Qunari. But Thedas is the one we know about, and it’s where all the games take place. That’s not to say there aren’t others the world is a big place.
There is one known continent in the world of Dragon Age, and that continent is known as Thedas. And lucky for you, we’ve prepped this primer to get things started. You can certainly try, of course, but failing that, you can at least catch up on what happened in the first two games and get a sense of the wider world before embarking on the third adventure. And like any good, fully fleshed-out fantasy world - the kind BioWare excels at creating - it’s practically impossible to know everything about it. It spans books and comics, Wikis, fan theories, and easter eggs, a film, a web series, and more. Naturally, there’s also much more to the series’ lore than what’s contained in those two games. With Dragon Age: Inquisition right around the corner, it probably seems like an intimidating world to just jump into - even if you played the heck out of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II. The world of Thedas is a complex and lively place.
