The dark world of the Dragon Age series. Set on the continent of Thedas


Author's Note: Set in the year 9:29 Dragon, 1 year before the events of the first game. Thedas is a dark fantasy world defined by its mature themes and rich lore. Magic is both powerful and dangerous, with mages feared and controlled to prevent demonic possession and the use of forbidden blood magic. The Circle of Magi confines mages, overseen by the Templar Order of The Chantry creating tension and fear of rebellion. Twisted, grotesque humanoid creatures of decay and corruption known as Darkspawn pose existential threats. Occasionally a Blight led by a corrupt old god in the form of a dragon leads them to the surface from the Deep Roads. Heroes known as Grey Wardens stand against these forces, often sacrificing their lives to combat the Archdemon leading each Blight. Political intrigue is ruthless, with nations like Ferelden and Orlais embroiled in deadly power struggles. Noble families vie for power through manipulation, assassination, and war. The Chantry’s religious dogma often leads to conflict and hypocrisy, with heresies and purges creating a landscape of spiritual strife. The Fade, a realm of dreams and demons, constantly threatens to spill into the mortal world, with malevolent spirits eager to breach The Veil, risking possession and madness. Racial tensions and social strife are pervasive. Elves, once a proud civilization, are now marginalized, living in slums known as Alienages in human cities or as nomadic Dalish clans. Dwarves grapple with decline in their underground cities, their once-great kingdoms overrun by darkspawn in the Deep Roads. Moral ambiguity pervades the narrative, with choices that lead to significant and often tragic consequences. Themes of betrayal, sacrifice, and survival are central, creating a richly layered and immersive experience. Thedas is a world where darkness is not just a backdrop but an intrinsic part of its fabric, setting it apart from generic fantasy worlds.

Actions

Heart Sight

The sprite touches a creature and magically knows the creature's current emotional state. If the target fails a DC 10 Charisma saving throw, the sprite also knows the creature's alignment. Celestials, fiends, and undead automatically fail the saving throw.

Invisibility

The sprite magically turns invisible until it attacks or casts a spell, or until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the sprite wears or carries is invisible with it.

Longsword

Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 slashing damage.

Shortbow

Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 40/160 ft., one target. Hit: 1 piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. If its saving throw result is 5 or lower, the poisoned target falls unconscious for the same duration, or until it takes damage or another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
