The World of Thedas

Thedas is the continent in which the Dragon Age universe is set. The continent of Thedas is divided into many countries and states, including Ferelden, Orlais, The Tevinter Imperium, the Anderfels, Antiva, Nevarra, Par Vollen, and Seheron. It’s unknown what lies beyond the known borders of Thedas.

Ferelden

Ferelden is the main setting of Dragon Age: Origins. This kingdom is located in the southeastern portion of Thedas and is ruled by a king or queen elected by the Landsmeet. Ferelden was invaded and annexed by Orlais in the early Blessed Age and was liberated by a rebellion under the leadership of Maric Theirin and Loghain Mac Tir just 30 years prior to the events of Origins.
