If they knew there was a Blight in Seheron, they would have known it in Tevinter. Otherwise, why send Sten's beresaad... oh, wait. They weren't there about the Blight at all! They were there to assess the defenses Ferelden might muster in an invasion, weren't they?
Sten was send to find out what a Blight is supposed to be .
At least that's what he tells to the Warden.

No, they were sent to find out "What the Blight is" according to Sten.
So maybe there had been rumors of a Blight surfacing in Fereldan.
Who are waiting for him
Neutral
Inpleasant men
Quite, plus information can only travel so fast in a pre-digital civilization. As far as I'm aware, post is carried by man or bird in Thedas.
So Tevinter probably wasn't even aware there was a Blight until the Archdemon was long dead and Fereldan had already began to really recover.
Complicated answer: Asunder revealed that the mages have a method of fast messaging between Circle towers. So apart from normal means, the Fereldan Circle may have relied the message to other Circles across Thedas, probably at the Wardens' request. Despite the bad relationships between Tevinter and other Chantry countries, I'm sure the Imperium has Warden garrisons too. Then you only need prisoners, sailors, merchants or diplomats to make the tale reach Qunari ears.
Short answer: we know for sure that the Qunari and other major powers have agents and spies across the world, like in real life. The moment unusual darkspawn activity was spotted in Ferelden and the local Grey Wardens started warning about a Blight, I'm sure the fastest messengers were sent to the higher-ups in Minrathous and Par Vollen.

Hrm, I never read Asunder. I really feel like I should read those books but eh.
Well, fair enough. In which case, the Wardens of the world just get annoyed that Fereldan turned anti-Warden right when they needed them.

Blackwall sounded a bit pissed about it in that letter of his that appeared in World of Thedas, that's for sure.
I had the impression it was those who took the joining during a blight and those who had the most contact with the large numbers of darkspawn during a blight who had the most accelerated taint? Meaning, of course, our DAO Wardens, but not necessarily any other Wardens (Alistair excluded)?

That was my impression too at that letter. Might have been little more common feeling among wardens of Orlais. "There is f*cking blight and this a**hole won't let us into his country to stop it"
PS. I should really read Asunder and Masked empire. I've gotten them months now and yet to be read

You really should read them, they are soooo good, and last flight comes out in like 13 days, and its about the grey wardens... and we might learn more about blackwall maybe :3 or at least why he might have left.

Been planning on reading them as long as I have had them but never managed to actually do that. Time to kick my lazy butt to do it now seems.
It would be VERY refreshing to have an older character like Blackwall that didn't have a dead wife in his backstory! I'm really, really sick of the dead wife thing and it's time to come up with different types of backstories instead of using such an overused trope (especially for male LIs...for some reason it's always them!). The fact that he's been a lone wolf so long and that he takes his role as a warden very seriously makes me think he never married or had kids. He's a man that always puts duty first after all. Not saying he won't have had relationships but I doubt he ever settled down.
Ah well, at least now I have an excuse to roll a female inquisitor. Aimo must be jumping around (I wanted him for my dudequisitors...but anyway... I always end with a crush on the straight/or impossible guy)
A lot of us have been jumping around.

Hm, how do you figure that? I wasn't aware there was a contest.
No need to single any one out, I think.
I can imagine that he'd have some kind of past, but it'd be nice if he was at peace with it.
Hm, yes.
I'm 40+ and I feel like I've been Waiting forever to romance a guy like Blackwall, Competent, confident and know's what his bleedin' goals are.
*nods* Saaaaame.

Yes, exactly. I hope I can finally create a cool looking character @ my age (also 40+) to possibly romance this guy. Options for visibly older characters weren't included in DA2 (afaicr), and all my efforts to make one in DA:O looked sickly or necromantic, lol.
I haven't really thought of the age of my Inquisitor. Qunari seem rather ageless and both they and the dwarven background strike me as more worldly regardless of actual age.
I'm significantly younger than Blackwall. He's just my type.

I feel you. The efforts I put into trying to flirt with Duncan and Riordan in DAO is still painful (and slightly embarassing).
