The Dragon Age Wiki timeline converted into FA units to make it easier to see how everything connects.
The name of Chantry ages are noted with an underline.
The original Chantry timeline has used the Divine, Glory, Towers, Black, Exalted, Steel, Storm, Blessed, and Dragon Ages, each representing a century. The Ancient Age is longer, and used both FA(Founding of Arlathan) and TE (Tevinter Empire) dates.
1: The legendary elven city of Arlathan is founded. The date is difficult to pinpoint in Chantry years and is not exact.
3000: Approximately at this time the elves make first contact with the dwarves.
4500: Records claim humanity arrives in Thedas around this date from the north in a single tribe known as Neromenian. This is disputed by scholars, who ask where humans came from and why they left.
4750: Elves first notice the Quickening, which puts an end to their immortality and forces them to withdraw from human contact. This is thought to be a mere legend.
4800: The Old Gods begin whispering to humanity from the Golden City. They teach the Dreamers of the Neromenian tribes magic. These Dreamers become the priests and rulers of their people.
5185: The Alamarri tribes cross the Frostback Mountains and settle in the lands that will eventually become known as Ferelden. Alamarri tribal legends say they were fleeing a ‘shadow goddess’, but modern scholars believe they were escaping a sort of natural disaster.
5785: The Alamarri living near what is known today as Lake Calenhad break away, becoming known as the Avvars. The two tribes fight with each other for several centuries, though they unite when the need arises.
5900: The Neromenian tribes split and form four ancient kingdoms: Tevinter, Neromenian, Barindur, and Qarinus.
5990: The entire kingdom of Barindur vanishes. The humans of the day claim the city lost the favor of Dumat. Solas claims it preserved underneath the volcanic ash.
5990: Thalsian, also known as the First Priest of Dumat, is the first known person to wield blood magic, and the first Magister. The Archon claims to learn this art after personally communicating with the Old God. The power he gained from blood magic allowed him to spark the birth of a future empire under his rule.
6005: The Chasind People break away from the Alamarri tribes and settle in the wild and unexplored Korcari Wilds.
6185: Darinius, the High King of Neromenian, takes control of the Tevinter throne, uniting the kingdoms of Neromenian and Tevinter under his rule.
6400: Darinius of Tevinter forges an alliance with the dwarves.
6405: Darinius unites the kingdoms Tevinter and Qarinus, forming the mighty Tevinter Imperium. He declares himself the first Archon. The Dreamers learned the use of lyrium to enter the Fade from elven captives, and these dreamers later became the first of the Imperium’s ruling Magisters.
6430: Under the rulership of the Paragons King Endrin Stonehammer and King Orseck Garal, the capital of the Dwarven Empire is moved from Kal-Sharok to Orzammar, as trade with the surface becomes more and more vital for the prosperity of the dwarves. Stonehammer orders the construction of the legendary Stonehammer Hall in Orzammar. The Orzammar Proving Grounds are expanded for the Grand Provings, previously held in Kal-Sharok. The winners of these Provings become the first of Orzammar’s Paragons. Endrin Stonehammer builds a hall to house huge statues constructed in their honor.
6440: Taxes collected by Orzammar from Kal-Sharok’s trade profits becomes onerous.
6469: King Endrin Stonehammer is made a Paragon on his deathbed, and becomes known as ‘The First Paragon’ presumably for his vast accomplishments.
6619: The hostility that festered between the Tevinter Imperium and the elves finally turned into open war. Armies of the Imperium surrounded the fabled elven city of Arlathan.
6625: The Magisters resorted to a horrifying blood ritual that sank Arlathan into the earth, destroying it utterly and deciding the war in their favor. The conquest of the elven kingdom was complete: All those who did not perish with their city were enslaved, their spirit crushed and their ancient culture destroyed forever.
6702: The Tevinter Imperium expands rapidly, bolstered by its new elven slaves. The Imperium takes nearly all of northern Thedas and begins the conquest of lands across the Waking Sea.
6797: The Tevinter Imperium settles the island of Estwatch and fortifies its bay. The port is built for repairing warships.
6917: Archon Almadrius ascends to the throne of the Tevinter Imperium.
6962: The Tevinter Imperium begins several campaigns to subjugate the barbarous Alamarri tribes in the Fereldan Valley. After many near losses, they manage to hold the central area for a time and pave the Imperial Highway across the Frostbacks to the fortress of Ostagar.
6965: The First Tevinter Expedition against the Avvars in the Frostback Mountains.
6982: The western part of the Tevinter rebels to form the Anderfels, mainly populated by the Yothandi people.
6985: Archon Almadrius is assassinated. His apprentice Tidarion inherits the throne. Civil wars break out in the Tevinter Imperium.
7037: Archon Tidarion dies without an heir. The civil war continues, and the Magisters fight for power.
7057: Emerius, the last of the great Imperial cities, is founded in the distant south of the Imperium by the powerful Magister, Emerius Krayvan. Elven slaves were brought in by the thousands to work the stone quarries, and suffered hardships that would give the city a dark and bloody reputation. In time it became known as the ‘City of Chains’, the center of the Imperial slave market and the destination of all those captured by the spread of arcane rule. Archon Parthenius claims the throne of the Tevinter Imperium. The end of the civil war in the Imperium.
7102—7122: The largest civil war of the Tevinter Imperium is usually cited as when it began to decline markedly from its golden age. The Magisters of the various noble houses wield terrible power but still seek more; their competition with each other leads to human sacrifice, and demon summoning becomes a regular occurrence. When two of the largest Tevinter houses battle to claim the Archon’s throne, the Imperium is almost split in two. The resulting war left ruins and battlefields where the magical taint continues to be felt to this day. Peace is brokered in the Senate to prevent the dissolution of the Imperium, but the nobility continues its oppression of the masses in an effort to achieve supremacy.
7142: After generations of independence, the Anderfels are reconquered by the Tevinter Imperium.
7277: A group of kossith is believed to land in the southern Korcari Wilds, establishing a colony. They are most likely killed off in the First Blight, giving rise to the first appearance of ogres on the continent.
7292: FIRST BLIGHT BEGINS. According to the Chantry lore, seven of the most powerful Magister Lords, seeking more power, open a gate to the Golden City at the heart of the Fade. The Golden City becomes tainted, and the Magisters bring the taint into the world, creating the first darkspawn.
The Old God Dumat is freed and transformed into the first Archdemon. The First Blight begins. The darkspawn attack en masse, concentrating at first on the underground Deep Roads of the dwarven kingdoms. The darkspawn use the Deep Roads to appear throughout the continent. All of the Imperium is under siege and in a state of chaos. Finally, the nations of the Imperium begin to settle in for a long war as they become accustomed to the surges of the darkspawn. Communication becomes difficult across the Imperium, but cooperation is paramount. The people of Tevinter pray to the remaining Old Gods for help against Dumat, but receive only silence. With the people’s faith waning, unrest sees many temples destroyed as the Imperial people begin to turn from the Old Gods, believing themselves betrayed. This dark period lasts for over 200 years, extending post Blight.
7307: The Dwarven Empire falls to the darkspawn.
7832: The Blight has yet to reach the Alamarri. They are instead caught up in a war with the Avvar. In the Battle of Red Falls, Alamarri warrior Luthias Dwarfson fights Morrighan’nan, Avvar warrior queen. Both die in the battle. The Order of Ash Warriors is founded in Dwarfson’s honor.
7882: The Grey Wardens are founded at Weisshaupt Fortress in the Anderfels, dedicated to wiping out the darkspawn wherever they should rise. The organization is formed primarily of veterans from the countless battles against the darkspawn. They maintain communications within the Imperium and strike quickly wherever the darkspawn appear, quickly erecting fortresses everywhere and receiving tithes and supplies from all lands.
7932: The dwarven Paragon Caridin creates the first golem from the Anvil of the Void to battle the darkspawn terrorizing the Deep Roads. The dwarves begin to regain lost thaigs and reclaim parts of the Deep Roads.
7939: Caridin disappears along with the secret to creating golems, and the dwarven kingdoms continue their descent into oblivion.
7984: FIRST BLIGHT ENDS. The Grey Wardens gather the forces of humanity and confront Dumat at the colossal Battle of Silent Fields in the southern reaches of Tevinter. Dumat is ultimately destroyed by the Grey Wardens and the darkspawn forces routed. Though the darkspawn are still large in numbers and still battle mankind, they are no longer directed by Dumat’s power and become scattered. The contracts ensuring the powers and rights of the Grey Wardens date from this year.
The prophet Andraste is born in the Alamarri lands. The exact year of her birth is hotly contested by scholars.
7992: Slowly, the last of the darkspawn hordes are defeated. They are forced into the Far Steppes, west of the Anderfels, and into the Deep Roads. For the dwarves, the war continues underground, but for humanity, the battle is believed to be over. After centuries of fighting, the once mighty Imperium is now weak.
As the Deep Roads close, communication lines falter between the surviving dwarven kingdoms. Each thaig elects its own king while maintaining allegiance to a high king in Orzammar.
7996: The Grey Wardens discover a number of intelligent darkspawn who can control portions of the horde even after Dumat’s death. Warden Sashamiri arranges a trap to restrain and study one of these creatures, Corypheus, believed to be one of the Tevinter Magisters who entered the Golden City and were corrupted into the first darkspawn two centuries prior. Corypheus is successfully imprisoned under the Vimmark Mountains in the southern Tevinter Imperium.
8000: Andraste marries Maferath, an Alamarri chieftain.
8001: Andraste preaches of a new creator, whokm she calls the Maker. The more she says, the more her following grows. Maferath uses her teachings to unite the Alamarri clans under his authority.
8003: The Tevinter Imperium’s influence recedes in southern Thedas as Minrathous rebuilds.
The Chasind claim the fortress of Ostagar.
8006: Warden-Commander Daneken realizes the futility of the Wardens’ attempts to control or kill Corypheus and proposes instead to seal the prison off from the rest of the world and keep its very existence a secret forever.
8007: A massive horde of Alamarri cross the Waking Sea from the south led by the warlord Maferath and Andraste. Some records claim that the barbarians were driven north by the darkspawn, others that Andraste was bringing freedom to the people of the Imperium who had been long oppressed by the depravities of the Magisters. Regardless of the reason, the press of the barbarians in the south is accompanied by massive rebellions that welcome their progress. The invading army frees the elves, enslaved for centuries by the Tevinters. At the same time, the elven slave Shartan starts a massive slave rebellion, and the Tevinter Magisters are forced to unite the combat the incoming threat.
The Tevinter Imperium abandons the island of Estwatch to focus on mainland troubles. The island remains largely uninhabited for ages.
8016: Outside of Minrathous, the Battle of Valerian Fields is fought between the Alamarri and the Tevinter Imperium. Maferath is victorious. At that battle the elven slave Shartan takes Maferath’s side and leads other elves in the fight against their Tevinter oppressors. He later converts and is made a disciple, only to have his writings suppressed following the Exalted March of the Dales.
The Alamarri army led by Maferath and Andraste lay siege in Minrathous. However, they fail to conquer the capital of the Imperium.
According to the Chantry lore, Maferath’s jealousy overwhelms him. Wanting to bring an end to hostilities and tighten his grip on conquered territories, he makes a pact with Archon Hessarian of the Tevinter Imperium.
8017: Andraste is betrayed by her husband at the city of Nevarra, one of their strongholds. She is burned alive and then killed by Archon Hessarian in Minrathous.
Disciple Havard, loyal to Andraste, collects her ashes and carries them back to the Avvar lands in the Frostback Mountains.
8023: After the death of Andraste, the barbarian army disperses. Maferath is granted the lands south of Emerius. He takes Ferelden Valley for himself, while dividing what will become Orlais, the nation of Nevarra, and several Marcher cities between his sons.
The southern Tevinter Imperium breaks away, forming a collection of independent city states. Maferath’s unify several scattered tribes neighboring Alamarri lands; the tribes of Ciriane turns into the Kingdom of the Ciriane and the Planesene tribes into the Kingdom of the Planasene. Both of these last less than a century—the Ciriane soon become the land of Orlais, while the Planasene become part of the loose confederation across the plains called the Free Marches.
The land between the Waking Sea and the Frostbacks is given to the freed elves by Maferath as a homeland and is called the Dales. The Long Walk begins as elves from across the Imperium begin traveling to the Dales largely on foot and are preyed upon by disease and robbers, causing massive chaos.
8028: A cult devoted to Andraste’s teachings spreads rapidly in the south but is largely disorganized and is very unpopular with the temples of the Old Gods. However, Archon Hessarian converts from revering the Old Gods to the Cult of the Maker and reveals Maferath’s treachery. The Alamarri abandon Maferath, and southern Thedas collapses into anarchy. Back in the lands of the barbarians, groups which are claiming to be the Disciples of Andraste are formed, and the new religion begins to grow, referred to collectively as ‘the cults of the Maker’.
Archon Hessarian converts the Tevinter Imperium to Andrastianism, beginning the Transfiguration.
8037: The Ciriane in present day Orlais unite in a movement known as the Grand Unification.
8057: The Alamarri in Ferelden Valley fall into a long series of internal wars as various warlords attempt to replace Maferath.
Andraste’s ashes disappear, revealed ages later to have been stored away at the Temple of Sacred Ashes by the Disciples of Andraste.
8061: The Chant of Light is created by Andraste’s disciples, collecting her story and her teachings into hymns. Numerous versions of the Chant are written over time, with different interpretations of what Andraste taught about the Maker, each prevalent in different regions.
8066: Archon Hessarian dies in his sleep. Many in the eastern and southern provinces of the Tevinter Imperium push for secession, fearing his successor, Archon Orentius, will restore the Old Gods and their clergy.
8066—8138: Rebellion begins in the east as the Rivaini attempt to split off from the Imperium. The resulting campaigns to stop the rebellion distract the Imperium from its attempts to reconquer the Free Marches and allow the south to gather its strength. Many of the eastern cities in the Free Marches intervene on behalf of the Rivaini, and after several losses that culminated in the disastrous Battle of Temerin in 8135, the Imperium finally abandons the east.
8086: The Inquisition is founded around this time. The loose association of Andrastian hardliners hunt heretics and mages in the name of the Maker.
8144: The Kingdom of Rivain is formed.
8148: The dwarves of Orzammar seal the Deep Roads that lead to Kal-Sharok, Gundaar, and Hormak by order of High King Threestone. Within ten years, the kingdoms of Hormak and Gundaar fall to the darkspawn.
8158: The city-state of Antiva expands and becomes a nation.
8163: As the borders of the Imperium recede, Emerius becomes one of their lone outposts within a distant and violent frontier. The city is surrounded by the Kingdom of Ciriane, the barbarian Free Marches, the Alamarri, as well as the new elven homeland of the Dales. Despite its isolation, the city fought off many invading armies and did not fall until the slaves within the city finally rebelled, executing their Tevinter rulers in an orgy of violence. Possession of the fortress city remained contested for centuries to come, but it would never again rejoin the Imperium. No longer under Tevinter rule, the city changed name to Kirkwall, and became part of the Free Marches.
8173: The last of the Deep Roads are sealed, cutting off Kal-Sharok which is presumed lost to the horde. However, the dwarves of Kal-Sharok survive but never forgive the dwarves of Orzammar.
8177: The cults of the Maker spread quickly in the southern lands, resulting in the commencement of construction of the first great temple in Val Royeaux which becomes the center of worship for the new faith. One of its most fervent followers is the young king of Orlais, Kordillus Drakon. Drakon begins a series of holy wars in the name of the Maker, quickly proving himself to be one of the greatest generals in history.
8185: Having conquered several neighboring city-states and forced others to submit to his overlordship, Kordillus Drakon is crowned emperor of the new Orlesian Empire in Val Royeaux. His ambitions to spread farther north into the Free Marches is confounded by constant pressures from the Dale to the east.
The Chantry is formed by Emperor Drakon as he formalizes the Maker’s Cult into an official religion.
The Emperor commands that missionaries be sent forth into the other lands, thus spreading the Chantry’s teachings.
8188: DIVINE AGE BEGINS. The first Divine of the Chantry, Justinia I, is instated at the still unfinished Grand Cathedral in Val Royeaux. The free use of magic is declared illegal in Orlais except by those mages acting under the direct auspices of the Chantry.
8192: SECOND BLIGHT BEGINS. Zazikel awakens and the Second Blight begins in the Anderfels, with darkspawn slaughtering the entire city of Hossberg before the Grey Wardens finally get the word out. Now, rather than the darkspawn coming primarily from the west as they did before, they come out of the mountains in all corners of the continent. Once again, mankind is launched into a desperate battle for its survival over the course of the next 100 years.
Emperor Drakon calls on mages to use their magic against the Blight. The mages prove themselves to be effective allies in battle.
The Tevinter Imperium abandons the Anderfels and attempts to protect itself, a betrayal that is remembered by the Anderfels people even to this day.
8203: In several engagements, including the hard-fought victory at the Battle of Cumberland, the Orlesians defeat several hordes of darkspawn, and numerous cities are saved. The Orlesian Empire under Drakon’s command expands quickly, as does the influence of the Chantry.
8207: The Nevarran Accord is signed between the Chantry and Inquisition. The senior members of the Inquisition form the Seekers of Truth. The Circle of Magi and Templar Order are then born from this agreement.
Mages are now formally permitted to practice magic under the close watch of the Chantry.
With the creation of the Circle, the Templar Order is formed to police magic use.
8212: The people of Orlais are angered when the city of Montsimmard is nearly destroyed by the darkspawn as the elven army watched from nearby.
8218: The darkspawn horde fails to overrun the Tevinter capital, Minrathous.
8220: Emperor Drakon is given the opportunity to expand northward, but instead he chooses to swing his armies west and relieve the siege of Weisshaupt.
The Grey Wardens are impressed enough to convert to the worship of the Chantry, and together the Grey Wardens and Drakon save the badly weakened nation of Anderfels from destruction, making it part of the Orlesian Empire and bringing to it a devout worship of the Maker that continues to this day.
Throughout this entire time, the elves of the Dales remain neutral and unhelpful.
8227: The Alamarri warrior Hafter unites the tribes and defeats the darkspawn horde.
8233: Emperor Drakon perishes from old age in Val Chevin. His empire, forming the majority of the Western Free Marches and all of the Anderfels, does not survive his death. His successor, Kordillus II, doesn’t possess the political savvy of his father, and the Anderfels declares independence twenty years after the death of Kordillus I.
The teachings of Andraste are popularized in Antiva.
8233—8283: Over the next fifty years, the Chantry continues to spread rapidly, aided by the Grey Wardens as the Blight winds down.
The Chantry spreads east into the Free Marches and Antiva.
8228: Hafter defeats combined Chasind and Avvar forces and holds the Fereldan Valley. He is proclaimed teyrn.
8243: The Anderfels declare independence from the Orlesian Empire.
8257: Caspar Pentaghast, who will one day become the first Pentaghast king of Nevarra, is born in Hunter Fell.
8273: SECOND BLIGHT ENDS.The Free Marches and Orlais are hard-pressed to defned themselves, but the Grey Wardens and the Orlesian armies make the difference. The last battle of the Second Blight is fought at Starkhaven in the Free Marches. The human army is led by the Grey Wardens and takes a resounding victory, where Zazikel is finally destroyed and the darkspawn routed.
The period that follows is known as the ‘Rebuilding’-a time when trade, culture, and religion become paramount across most of the human lands.
Astyth the Grey is made a Paragon after sacrificing her life for the king. The Silent Sisters are formed in her memory.
8278: GLORY AGE BEGINS. Divine Hortensia I names it the Glory Age, predicting a Grand Rebirth of the world after the devastation of the Blight.
8283: Increasing hostility between elves and humans result in numerous border skirmishes between the Dales and Orlais.
8287: Finally, the elven forces attack the Orlesian town of Red Crossing and quickly take it over. The atrocities they are said to have committed there against the villagers and the town’s Chantry enraged humans across the land.
Orlais immediately went to war with the Dales, but was initially surprised by the ferocity of the elven response. A quick Orlesian victory was not going to happen.
8288: In Alamarri lands, Hafter’s grandson, Teyrn Caedmon, declares himself king. A civil war begins in opposition.
8288—8298: With elven forces having captured Montsimmard and marching on the doorstep of Val Royeaux, Divine Renata I calls for a holy war against the elves. This becomes known as the Exalted March of the Dales. While the elves eventually sack Val Royeaux in 8282, and push well into human lands, Halamshiral is conquered and the elves are completely crushed by 8298.
The lands of the Dales come under Orlesian control, with elven settlements being uprooted and worship of the elven gods forbidden. The elves are forced to either live with mankind under their rule or wander as homeless vagabonds.
Divine Renata orders the establishment of the first alienages.
8293—8323: The rise of Starkhaven prompts its king, Fyruss, to attempt to unite the Free Marches under his banner and build his own empire.
8296: Caedmon is killed at the Battle of Valmorn Hills. The fight for power over the region begins. This period is known as the War of Crowns.
8308: The Winter Palace, by far the most prominent structure in Halamshial, becomes a regular seasonal retreat for the Empress and selected Orlesian nobility.
8311: Antivan cities to the north unite under a common banner to defend themselves against Fyruss’s advance.
8312: Following the defeat of Zazikel, there is general support of building fortified headquarters for the Grey Wardens. The fortress of Soldier’s Peak in the Alamarri lands is finished after a decade of construction.
8323: Fyruss is betrayed by his Tevinter allies, and Starkhaven is conquered by the Tevinter Imperium. By the time of his death, Fyruss’s name is equated with that of prideful folly.
8324: Caspar Pentaghast of Hunter Fell seizes control of the city-state Nevarra and becomes its king.
8358: Starkhaven is freed from Tevinter rule during an Exalted March, the second in less than an age.
8362: A conflict between Templars and mages in the Nevarran Circle leads to an abomination slaughtering both parties and escaping to the countryside. In response, Divine Galatea grants the Right of Annulment to every Grand Cleric of the Chantry, and sends a legion of Templars to hunt down the abomination. It is killed only a year later.
8378: The Grand Cathedral in Val Royeaux is completed, its two towers visible from miles around. Archon Vespasian is assassinated the same day that the Grand Cathedral in Orlais is completed. The next Age is named. GLORY AGE ENDS.
8379: TOWERS AGE BEGINS. Flemeth is born in the Fereldan village of Highever.
8385: King Caspar Pentaghast of Nevarra dies in his sleep at the age of 127, after a reign of sixty years.
8388: The Right of Annulment is invoked in the Circle of Antiva for the third time since its inception. Hundreds of mages are put to the sword.
8389: The Old God Toth awakens, and the Third Blight erupts in the central lands of Thedas with darkspawn coming in greater numbers than ever before. Darkspawn swarm the Tevinter cities of Marnas Pell and Vyrantium, as well as the Orlesian cities of Arlesans and Montsimmard.
The Grey Wardens in both of these countries are able to quickly organize a defense, and despite heavy losses in the besieged cities, the darkspawn are pushed back.
8397: The armies of Orlais and the Tevinter Imperium meet in Hunter Fell and join the Grey Wardens in the last battle of the Third Blight.
Toth is destroyed, and the darkspawn are slaughtered in one of the bloodiest battles in history. The darkspawn carcasses are piled into mounds as high as 100 feet high and then burned. The people of the Free Marches will not soon forget the image of the burning darkspawn.
Their goodwill is quickly crushed by the victorious armies as they decide to occupy the territories liberated from the darkspawn. Orlais takes the city of Nevarra, while Tevinter takes Hunter Fell.
8421: Hunter Fell breaks away from the Tevinter Imperium.
8437: Nevarra achieves independence from Orlais.
8458: Divine Joyous II is made head of the Chantry.
8459: After many years of arguments, the Schism splits the Chantry as the Imperial Chantry within Tevinter elects their own Divine, a male mage named Valhail, at the Minrathous Cathedral. The Imperial Chantry has always taken a more moderate view on magic and argued that mages should be allowed to rule so long as blood magic remains prohibited. They also argued that Andraste was not of divine origin but rather was a mortal prophet with considerable magical talent and that her ascension to the Maker’s side did not make her divine, even if she was a symbol of hope. Both of these arguments did not sit well with the rest of the Chantry. As the Val Royeaux Divine Joyous II took measures to restrict the power of the Circle of Magi within Tevinter, the Imperial Chantry took action. In Minrathous, the Divine is referred to as the ‘Black Divine’ by most, and Chantry propaganda stirs popular sentiment against Tevinter and the Circle of Magi.
The local Circle of Magi in Ferelden moves to Kinloch Hold after the original tower in Denerim is razed.
8471: The death of the Divine Joyous II in Val Royeaux is celebrated in Minrathous and is declared a holiday by the Imperial Divine.
The Black Age is named as the Chantry calls for retribution against the false Divine of the north.
8472: THE BLACK AGE BEGINS. Werewolves, long present in Fereldan lore, are said to reappear, assuming the appearance of regular people. The use of dogs as guards able to ‘detect’ werewolves becomes common. An especially bloody chapter of Fereldan history ends with the apparent extinction of the creatures.
8494: The Antivan King Guiomar the Younger meets his end at the hands of Callisti di Bastion, a soon-to-legendary member of the Antivan Crows.
8500: The Rivaini-born Queen Asha Subira Bahadur, who will later become of Thedas’s most influential queens, is born.
8510—8580: The Chantry declares a series of four Exalted Marches to destroy the ‘heathens’ within the Tevinter Imperium. All four times, large armies are gathered from around the Chantry’s domains, and an assault is launched deep into Tevinter. Every time, however, the Exalted March falls just short of its goal of conquering Minrathous. In the end, the Exalted Marches serve to simply cement the separation between Minrathous and Val Royeaux. The Imperial Chantry starts to form its own dogma and policies, and the groundswell of mages fleeing from southern lands into Tevinter bolsters the Imperium’s waning power.
8516: Divine Clemence I commissions Tevinter fugitive Adralla of Vyrantium and former Magister to write the Litany of Adralla, a tool to protect against blood mages and demonic possession.
8524: The Great Riot of Val Royeaux occurs. Some historians allege that the riot was sparked by a performance of the lost play The Setting of the Light.
8550—8554: The Orlesian Empire takes advantage of Alamarri’s fractured state and crosses the Frostback Mountains to conquer the land for the first time. However, the Alamarri teyrns set aside age-old differences to push the Orlesian Empire back. The Orlesians hope to take the port of Highever, but the fortress of Redcliffe holds out too long, and winter in the Frostbacks leaves many Orlesian units without supplies. By the spring of 8554, most of the invaders pull out or are captured.
8555: Alamarri legends of Dane and the werewolf are recorded about a time in the past when the tribes suffered repeated werewolf attacks until the hero Dane managed to slay the lycanthropes. The events these legends refer to most likely took place in the Divine Age.
8560: The famed Fortress Haine is built in the western Vimmark mountains by Lord Norbert de la Haine, who uses it to stage numerous failed invasions of Marcher states.
8569: Divine Justinia II names the next age Exalted as the war with the Tevinter Imperium persists.
8570: EXALTED AGE BEGINS.

Retour en haut
I panicked.
