The Old Gods
Old Gods are beings that were worshipped by a significant number of Thedosians, specifically the mages of the Tevinter Imperium, thousands of years ago. The mages worshipped them in the form of dragons. Legend holds that it was the Old Gods who initially taught mages how to use magic. Some believe archdemons to be the sleeping Old Gods corrupted by the darkspawn.
There are rumoured to be cults worshipping the Old Gods hidden around Thedas.
The Seven Old Gods
The Magisters worshipped seven Old Gods. The first—and the leader of the others—was called Dumat, the Dragon of Silence. According to scholars, Dumat was the first Old God to transform into an archdemon and consequently slain during the First Blight.
Dumat, the Dragon of Silence and the archdemon of the First Blight Zazikel, the Dragon of Chaos and the archdemon of the Second Blight Toth, the Dragon of Fire and the archdemon of the Third Blight Andoral, the Dragon of Chains and the archdemon of the Fourth Blight Urthemiel, the Dragon of Beauty and the archdemon of the Fifth Blight Razikale, the Dragon of Mystery Lusacan, the Dragon of Night
