Timeline
This timeline shows a list of events that has taken place in Thedas since the end of Dragon Age 2, feel free to add more major events here as we go on.
Note: The calendar in Thedas consists of twelve thirty-day months. Four annums—annual holidays—split the year, signifying the transition between seasons. A fifth annum celebrates the start of a new year. Annums are not associated with months. Although each month has a name in the language of Ancient Tevinter, the people of Ferelden commonly use the "low" names. The Tevinter names are listed first, followed by the more common name for the month.
The system was developed in the early years of the Tevinter Imperium and was influenced by the elves.
Warning, Spoilers below.
