Play Origins, you get the backstory explained to you pretty well through codex entries, and other characters tell you the more important bits about politics, history, religion and stuff.

...You want us to explain an entire world to you? 

 

It might be easier to help if you had any more specific questions?

yeah your better off starting at the beginning with Dragon Age Origin's. Whilst it's not the best looking game or the most fluid compqared to DA2 and DAI it will teach you the basics of what you need to know. It's a bit long and convaluted to really explain in a forum post tbh.

Crikey, don't start on the wiki.  Just play the game (Dragon Age Origins) or better yet, start with the first book, The Stolen Throne. 

It sets up the story of the first game pretty well.

"The Chantry teaches us that it is the hubris of men which brought the darkspawn into our world. The mages had sought to usurp Heaven. But instead, they destroyed it. They were cast out, twisted and cursed by their own corruption. They returned as monsters, the first of the darkspawn. They became a blight upon the lands, unstoppable and relentless. The dwarven kingdoms were the first to fall. And from the deep roads, the darkspawn drove at us again and again, until finally we neared annihilation... until the Grey Wardens came. Men and women from every race, warriors and mages, barbarians and kings, the Grey Wardens sacrificed everything to stem the tide of darkness, and prevailed. It has been four centuries since that victory, and we have kept our vigil. We have watched and waited for the darkspawn to return. But those, who once called us heroes, have forgotten. We are few now, and our warnings have been ignored for too long. It may even be too late, for I have seen with my own eyes what lies upon the horizon. Maker help us all."

 

... on second thought, it's going to take me forever to copy-paste the text of all three games here. Maybe it would help if you had a specific question?

Just say DA2 is Scarface, but fantasy. And DAI is Life of Brian, but not a comedy.

 

No, seriously. There was more thought put into DAO.
