How the Blights Started - First Blight - Dragon Age Lore DOCUMENTARY

Wizards and Warriors starts a new animated fantasy documentary lore video series on the world of Dragon Age. In the waning years of the Blessed Age, reptilian wings blanketed the sun. Dragons, thought to have been hunted to extinction centuries earlier, reappeared in the skies above the world of men and devastated the countryside of Orlais and Nevarra. Reading this as an epochal omen, Faustine II, Divine of the Chantry, declared a new age: the Dragon Age, which in her holy wisdom, she predicted would be a time of violence, upheaval, and dramatic change. Thus begins the period in which the titularly named Dragon Age games take place, yet this is not where the history of its world begins. In our first video we talked on the vibrant and tumultuous continent of Thedas, explored the immortal hubris of ancient Elvhenan, and the rise of the Blood Mages of Tevinter ( • Fall of Elvhenan - Ris... ), while the second episode will describe how these mages brought the Blight upon the world and how the First Blight started.

Even when they save the world, the Grey Wardens constantly seem to be getting the short end of the stick. And I'm not even talking about their blight curse. I'm talking about how ungrateful the kingdoms of Thedas could act towards them.

Bc from the perspective of the average folk of certain nations the grey wardens are hated. In Ferelden they were banished for attempting to overthrow King Arland. They also resort to any means necessary to prevent or defeat the blight. Blood magic, demon summoning, and they ensure some criminals don't see justice via the joining.

Can't help but wonder how the Grey Wardens initially discovered that some people could be immune to the taint. Most people who ingest darkspawn blood die instantly. When Daveth ingested the blood, he keeled over dead in a matter of seconds and it horrified Joren so much, he refused to partake and preferred to die by Duncan's sword instead. So, at some point during the First Blight, someone must have ingested some Darkspawn blood in a battle and managed to survive somehow, realizing that he could now sense them and started to have dreams of the Archdemon. Must have been a hell of a struggle for that guy to convince people of it, when everyone can clearly see how ingesting Darkspawn blood results in instant and painful deaths. I imagine he had to prove his worth to them over and over again, predicting where Darkspawn would strike and where they would come from, time and time again. Eventually, he'd have enough pull to convince people in charge that it's possible for some to survive the ingestion of Darkspawn blood, but it was insanely risky. Desperate times being what they were, the people went for it anyway and thus the Order of the Gray Wardens was born. Imagine being that first guy, though. You're on the battlefield, fighting for your life. It's not going well and you're being overrun by superior numbers. You fight and fight until you are eventually overwhelmed as well and you go down swinging at the creature that's about to kill you. By some mad stroke of luck, you manage to deliver a killing blow with your final strike, but in the process of doing so, some of its blood sprays into your mouth and you prepare for what you believe will be your immediate and painful death. Instead, what you get is a prophetic dream of the Archdemon. And then what you know to be impossible happens. You wake up on the now deserted battlefield, alive and well. Not only that, but you can 'feel' where the Darkspawn horde move off to and which direction they took their battle in. You look around, confused and bewildered, but knowing that somehow, some way your charge isn't over yet. So you pick up your nearby sword and you head towards the nearest signs of battle, having absolutely no idea you're about to set history in motion in a major way and forever swing the balance of power around for all humanity.

The First Blight is honestly an underrated epic. Not in the world of Thadus obviously, but in our real life world. Dumat ravaged the world for 200 years but in between that, there is so many tales of Desperate Battles for Survival, Defiant Last Stands, and Determined Heroes that never let hope die. My favorite story from this era, (leaked or imagined) by a writer for the Dragon Age RPG Core Rulebook; is of how a Barbarian Prince of the South marched an army all the way to the heart of the Imperium in a vein attempt to stop the First Archdemon Dumat. Because this line was given in but a brief mention of the many attempts from non-wardens to kill Dumat, we do not get his motivation for doing so. He could have been offered glory by the imperium, he could have been executing a pre-emptive strike in defense of his homeland, or maybe he was a genuine hero who wanted to save the world from the blight. Regardless, in an epic battle between the Barbarian Prince and Dumat, the Barbarians gave their lives far from home to defend a land not their own. In the battle not even 100 years into the First Blight, the Barbarian Prince managed to kill Dumat in his heroic last stand, giving his life to stop the Evil god. and then Dumat was spotted again a couple days later, leading his horde south.

@Joyride37 13 күн бұрын

I think he’s only indirectly responsible if we go off the theory the old gods are the evanuris that solas sealed away when he split the world with the veil. Though logistically that feels messy bc the Evanuris are supposed to be sealed on the fade side, while the old gods are physically present in the mortal realm. But they were whispering to the magisters, so maybe physically their bodies still existed but their consciousness / spirits were on the Fade side, and their whispering to open the fade to get to the golden city part of some plan that went awry (Corypheas did say it was “already black” when he walked in on it. Implying that it was corrupted by something blight like before they arrived. Or maybe their very arrival turned it black the moment they opened the fade. Who knows atm) The blight though is pretty heavily linked to the Void (maybe the void essence made manifest in the world), which is a separate thing that even the Evanuris seemed to fear when they were in power. Which begs the question to me, using the theoretical lens that old gods = Evanuris (who feared the void) and blight = from the void, and the golden city was already black (presumably from blight), why they would whisper to the magisters in the first place

Another good video. Again, only a couple of mistakes. Chantry theology is that, by this point, the Maker had long ago already imprisoned the Old Gods beneath the earth for turning the hearts of mankind away from the Maker. The Tevinter Magisters had only ever encountered the Old Gods in the Fade, but they believed that the Golden City was the Throne of the Gods. The Chant of Light says that they weren't there at all, it was always the Seat of the Maker. Since you did talk about Broodmothers, I'm not sure where the idea that "any who beheld the tainted Magisters became Darkspawn" comes from. It's not mentioned in the Chant of Light or in any other source of lore I know.

@@Knight1029 The time span between those events and the start of DA:I are months at the very least. The time span of the events of DA:I would have to be much, much longer, considering the setting. Naturally, it makes zero sense that the Wardens had no clue of a being, who started the entire mess that caused their creation in the first place, rampaging across the known world for months and/or a year+. Either the Grey Wardens *couldn't* respond to the threat of Corypheus, due to events not seen during the game, or its a massive plot hole by Bioware, most likely due to them losing so many experienced and well versed writers/creators. It's not as if Grey Wardens just sit and wait for a Blight to happen. They are constantly undertaking expeditions against Darkspawn, wherever they're found, as well as having an extensive intelligence network throughout the known world. Personally, my money is on it being a glaring plot hole. Bioware's writing has went downhill from Dragon Age 2/Mass Effect 3 and onwards, which is honestly a shame considering the properties we're talking about. The golden age of Bioware ended with Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins release.

@@ericharrison7518 you do realize Duncan says in DAO that the Grey Wardens are forgotten about after each Blight again. That we learn in DAO that the Darkspawn are thought as creatures not real to common folk and to nobles as threats not an issue. From that we can clearly see the Wardens don't do much other than literally wait around for another Blight. Wardens don't get involved with politics or the goings on in the world. This is literally a thing that is baked in their culture. Additional Corypheus isn't a secret most Wardens know? Literally only a few selected people do know. In DA2 it shows us and further implies that only few people know. My guy the Wardens are what your Warden is. They don't get involved at all and just focus on Darkspawn. It isn't hard to see why.

My biggest questions on the first blight is how did thedas survive them for 200 years and how did the dwarves not notice the darkspawn till it was too late

@S.Solmazturk Жыл бұрын

Tevinter Empire was incredibly strong. Mages, strong militaries, competent leaders. These guys managed to reach heaven through magic. Dwarves were always weak and stupid in this universe.

@@S.Solmazturk to be fair, if I too lived in a civilization where society is segmented into castes, and that there is a social unrest going on empire-wide, I'd want to station more troops from the outer frontiers to the inner cities for more law and order management. Can't really blame them much since they didn't even know of the darkspawn's existence. For all they knew, they were the only ones down there.

@@URKCEHinoSuu doesn't expain why they still have stupid cast system when they need every single people who can fight. They lack manpower. Dwarves are badly written plain and simple.

@@S.Solmazturk well, i wouldn't say they were badly written. They served a purpose within the story, and once they fulfilled it, they were discarded by the authors to the side. But like I said, what little manpower they had was enough to contend with the other races. Not the darkspawn. Besides, I kinda like the caste system in the dwarves. It's unique, I've never seen it before. Well unless The Dwarves series count, and even then they are divided into proto-siblings, such as firstlings, secondlings upto the now extinct sixthlings.

@@S.Solmazturk Well, dwarves aren't stupid at all. They are the best inventors and smiths in Thedas. It is just that, like most fantasy dwarf stereotypes, they are stubborn, prideful and very traditional. It is explained in the video, the dwarves lost to the darkspawn because they were too divided with their internal problems. The fact that they were too prideful to send for help above ground might also be reason why many Thaigs fell. They are incredibly stubborn but they defended their own cities and Thaigs to the very last man.

Dragons are immune to the darkspawn infestation. That made more interesting how the old gods can be tainted.

Anyone else suspect that the elven gods (minus Mythal and Fen'Harel) and the Old Gods of Tevinter are one and the same? My theory is that the remaining two Old Gods, Razikale and Lusacan, are actually Dirthamen and Falon'Din, respectively.

@S.Solmazturk Жыл бұрын

It's already revealed that Elven pantheon are bunch of elven mages/leaders who basically enslaved their people. Old gods aren't related to them.

@Ghilannugs Жыл бұрын

@@S.Solmazturk eeeeeh still could be connected, afterall mythal takes the form of a dragon. And even when died returns. It could be highly likely that the old gods are some aspect of the elven gods. Especially with the new teaser for DAD it could be that the elven gods are trapped in the black city or linked to it and reached out to Tevinter trying to be free, but you know. It didnt QUITE go as they planned. Also important to remember how Solas felt about the Grey Wardens plans to find the last 2 old gods and kill them before they got corrupted. There is most certainly some connection between the Old gods and the elven pantheon.

@S.Solmazturk Жыл бұрын

@@Ghilannugs you are overthinking. Mythal taking a dragon form doesn't make her an old god.

@Ghilannugs Жыл бұрын

@@S.Solmazturk Mythal as an option to be an old god is zero. The 7 old gods to elven doesn't count her as she was killed and now is a part of Flemeth. What I am talking about is that there are A LOT of similarities and referenced between the old gods and the elven pantheon. The point I was trying to make is that The elven mages reveal in Trespasser doesn't erase the old gods theory.

@@Ghilannugs it does the moment all solas say is that they were talented mages, generals and kings. There is no real basis to assume they are the same beings esspecially considering both pantheons circumstancss ended very differently. If they were in any way related, solas would mention them as such due to his obsession of telling stories

The "Dragon Age" lore is by far the most confucing one out of them all.

@Ghilannugs Жыл бұрын

That is understandable, the lore is mainly made out from whatever in game codexes is found (plus the lore books). So a lot of the lore is based on biased stories told by "in-game" characters.

One thing I don’t understand, why did the draconic Old Gods want their followers to reach the Golden City and attain godhood? What did they hope to gain, aren’t they from the fade? They don’t seem to be all that different to when they became archdemons.
