Wizards and Warriors new animated fantasy documentary lore video will talk about the world of Dragon Age and describe its history before the games. In the waning years of the Blessed Age, reptilian wings blanketed the sun. Dragons, thought to have been hunted to extinction centuries earlier, reappeared in the skies above the world of men and devastated the countryside of Orlais and Nevarra. Reading this as an epochal omen, Faustine II, Divine of the Chantry, declared a new age: the Dragon Age, which in her holy wisdom, she predicted would be a time of violence, upheaval, and dramatic change. Thus begins the period in which the titularly named Dragon Age games take place, yet this is not where the history of its world begins. We will talk about the vibrant and tumultuous continent of Thedas, exploring the immortal hubris of ancient Elvhenan, and the rise of the Blood Mages of Tevinter, describe how these mages brought the Blight upon the world and how the First Blight started, about the religious and political response as prophetess Andraste and her husband Maferath declared war against the Tevinter Empire and led an Exalted March against it, changing the Thedas forever. How Andraste’s death made her a martyr, allowing her Chantry to take over the whole of Thedas and how the confluence of these events allowed the humans to continue growing in power and led by the Chantry they were able to conquer the elves, destroying their homeland – the Dales. At this point, a new player arrived to the continent – the Qunari, leading to the Qunari Wars. We will also talk about Ferelden and how it became one of the most important states of the continent.

  1. That saying about Rome should be changed to all Road lead to China, because inventions from the compass to gunpowder to rockets can be traced back to China heck, even a reverse steam engine was invented in China centuries before the Industrial Revolution

    With what they did to the Elves I will be pissed if they don’t give us the choice to join Solas in the next game

  2. The amount of work that must go into making these boggles my mind! Seriously, the quality is unparalleled. Thank you for creating such amazing content, and I wish you all nothing but the best 🙏

  3. great video! is there any chance you guys are thinking about doing more GoT lore videos? A Game of Thrones total conversion mod for Ck3 was just released today, and I think it would be cool if you guys did a lore video of the starting date they have. Kind of like the Ck3 start date videos you guys did on the Kings and Generals channel.

  4. Thank you. 100x thank you. You gave true justice to the Dragon Age lore. It’s so deep and rich that it can’t be explored in a short video. You truly respected the lore and kept it accurate. I love Dragon Age as much as I love Mass Effect (which is a lot). You truly deserve respect and praise for taking the time to make lore videos like these and so many others. Again, thank you!

  5. I missed hearing quite a bit more on the Dwarves. Some of the most interesting fictional peoples to me, their history, religion, castes and culture far beyond what the blights seemed to reduce them to.
    But an amazing series nonetheless. Great job!

  7. 28:40 I need a wallpaper sized version of this badly. not photorealistic but it looks GREAT and matches the bonus wallpapers you got in DA:O (may just be ultimate edition idk) Plus as you can tell from the name, Grey Warden's have been my favourite group since DA:O came out. kinda like witchers but with even more sacrifice.
