oh look a thread to post this in

Based on information from the DA RPG and guesstimations from the climate, this would be the approximate size and latitudinal location of Thedas (longitudinal placement arbitrary) if it were on a planet the same size as Earth:



So, yes, I'd assume there is way more to the Dragon Age planet. (... Thedap?)

If we end up seeing Par Vollen/Rivain/whatever further north and those climates are far more temperate than Ferelden, that may be evidence for a planet that is proportionally smaller than Earth (or that the mile measurements in the RPG are wrong and Thedas is much bigger).

Par Vollen and Seheron are supposed to be full of jungles though, so I'd think that would put them at maybe around 20 degrees south at least...

*shrug*

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what's north of those places then.

Ignoring measurements in DA, I'd think this would be a better placement of Thedas.

Hmm. I like the second map placement better. Still leaves a gigantic chunk of the world to explore — assuming it's Earth-like in terms of size, among other things — while not making the player feel like an ant attempting to push a rock uphill in terms of his/her character's greater impact on the world at large.

Dragon Age is... not so good with a lot of scientific laws. A lot of places in the Deep Roads you can get much closer to magma than you should be able to. One spot leading into the Primeval Thaig in particular is amusing as there's a stream of magma only a few feet away on either side of the PC. Heat radiates. And the temperature of magma varies a lot, but generally speaking 1500 degrees fahrenheit is frigid for it. So in places like that, you'd be screaming in horrible agony. But not for very long.

Heh. Tell me about it. Oh, well. I guess that's what suspension of disbelief is all about, especially in fantasy settings.

FWIW, I just finished reading Star Trek's "Watching the Clock" by Christopher L. Bennett ... and my head's still hurting from all of the possibilities involving not only time travel, but interaction among parallel realities.

No. TheDAS stands for "the Dragon Age Setting". I thought it was self explanatory. Invaders coming from other continents is possible (like the Qunari and Humans before them), but a PC leaving Thedas in a Dragon Age game isn't happening.

Heck, I don't care whether or not a PC can leave Thedas to interact with a wider world ... I just would like to know if there's even a wider world out there, or if it's some gargantuan world-engulfing ocean with a spot of land — Thedas — marring its otherwise cerulean blue surface.

It would be interesting if it was just a world just dotted with several small or large islands, at least Isabela would love that world.
