It's earth, thousands of years into the future. After we nearly obliterate ourselves with nuclear/anti-matter weapons. The magic is taking over and we shy away from old technologies.

[Knight KIng]

Cant we just say its set a long time ago on a planet far far away?

I highly doubt its our Earth at any time.

Planet Ballsack, right?

[Sloth Of Doom]

This was covered over on daforums a while ago and someone from Bioware (Might have been Stan Woo but I can't remember) said that since only the continent of Thedas was explored (and not very well in some places) as far as anyone living there is concerned Thedas IS the world.



Kind of like Europe, western Asia and Northern Africa was 'the world' for thousands of years as far as the west was concerned. Then people started finding all these silly continents that start with 'A'

[Chameleon Skin]

I rather like that - so for now Thedas *is* The World, by virtue of the fact that the characters we know believe it to be so. If the notion of what constitutes the world changes in the future due to new encounters with other cultures or landmasses, then perhaps at that point the notion of what Thedas is expands correspondingly.

[Mordaedil]

The continent is called Ferelden, the world is Thedas, a community inspired name, which is actually from TheDAS or The Dragon Age Setting. Ergo, Thedas is the world.

Err... for ONCE ?

You havent seen Star Wars, now, have you ?

Besides, its not realistic a world would be able to have two moons of the size of our moon (or, even worse, Mars). They would disrupt each others orbit, either throwing one of them out (down to the planet or into free space) or colliding. The problem is simply that their orbits would have to be too close, as you cannot have a too far away orbit from a planet (at some point the gravitation from the central star, which is much more far away but also much heavier, gets stronger than the gravitation from the planet).

No, Ferelden is a country.  Thedas is what the continent is called.

Tevinter Imperium in their conquering days called anything outside their borders Thedas and it just stuck with everyone afterwards.


Here is a link to the map of Thedas if you have not seen it yet.

I don't think the name of the planet is important yet. In FR you had many planets/realms/dimensions etc where you could possibly travel when you were high level. We'll have to wait till Bioware developes DA universe a bit more before we can talk about it

A terrible name for a planet, might as well call it dirt. Planet Dirt.

Gecon they dont have to be big moons.Besides Mars has two small ones.Plus its not supposed to be realistic.Its a fantasy game.



Im looking foreword to when and if they decide to make a map of the whole world.Complete with alll the continents.

[Aghix]

y does it matter? just make something up for your mod

[Forwen]

Actually, The Stolen Throne uses the form "on Thedas" at one point. Make of it what you will.

I am going to say it is called Thedas because that is all i have ever seen it called. Thades by the way stand for THE Dragon Age Setting.

If its Earth than they would refer to real places like England and France.And call the "maker" God.

Why?

That may be enough.  There may not be any other notable continents.  Forgotten Realms has its planet named after its continents.

If you're talking about Abeir and D&D 4.0 then parts of it just recently became a continent of the world Toril.

But yes, obviously you're right and Faerun became a synonym for Abeir'Toril, simply because most P&P modules and all computer games but one play in Faerun instead of Kara-Tur, Matztica or Zakhara.

Thedas will probably end up being the name of the 'planet', similarly to how Azeroth became the name of the entire WoW world, even though it was originally only the name of the human kingdom in Warcraft 1.

[Knight KIng]

Thats kind of what I figured.



Hows this for the story of my mod.A group of warriors must deliver a cursed ring to the fires of the mountain of doom the place where it was made in order to destroy it.

When they say "earth", they're talking about dirt, not the name of the planet.

The continent is Thedas, the world has no name.  Why would it?  Are there other worlds with other names?  These people don't even know about other continents, though some must exist for the humans and the Qunari to have come from elsewhere.

Going by that I'd say the planet is called Thedap or possibly Thepoda...

Really? I think ever since Star Wars, fantasy settings have been putting 2 and 3 moons all over the place. I was actually very happy that there was only 1 sun and 1 moon. Made it more relatable. Just because you CAN go all crazy with a created universe doesn't mean you should. The more "Earth-like" a universe is, the more deeply one can immerse oneself in it. Just look at Battlestar Galactica (the new one). Their culture could have been VERY different (what with cylons and space travel, etc etc.) but in making them a sister-culture to us, it was much easier to get involved in those characters' lives.
