Later that year King Brandel died, and Orlais instated an “Orlesian King of Ferelden,” a puppet ruler named Meghren. It wasn’t until 8:44 Blessed that the Ferelden capital city of Denerim finally fell to Orlesian forces, and Ferelden King Brandel and other Ferelden nobles would continue to stage a guerilla war despite the city's sacking. The invasion of Ferelden proved extremely taxing for Orlais.

Three years later, Reville led the Orlesian invasion of Ferelden, and his swift initial success had many in Orlais believing that the Divine’s prophetic prosperity was on the way, at least for the conquerors. On the more optimistic side, Rivaini diplomats were invited to the Qunari island of Par Vollen for the first time in 8:10 Blessed, giving the people of Thedas insight into the Qunari culture for the first time.ĭespite fears that he would die heirless in 7:99 Storm, the Emperor of Orlais would live on until 8:21 Blessed, to be succeeded by his son Reville.

In 8:5 Blessed, Kirkwall, a city in the Free Marches and the setting of Dragon Age 2, rebelled against Orlais and became an independent city state. The start of the era, however, was not immediately prosperous for Orlais.

However, in 7:99 Storm, the Emperor’s wife gave birth to male twins, dissipating the Chantry’s worries and leading to the declaration that the next hundred years would be known as the Blessed Age for the prosperity they would bring. Emperor Etienne of Orlais had no heirs, leading to fears that a civil war was on the horizon. The Divine Age and by extension the entire Chantry calendar began with the creation of the Chantry itself, and ages last approximately one-hundred years.Īt the end of the seventh age, the Storm Age, the leaders of the Chantry were anxious about the future. Similarly, the main events of Dragon Age: Origins take place in 9:31 Dragon, written that way because they take place thirty-one years after the start of the ninth age, known as the Dragon Age. The year that the Second Blight began is written as 1:5 Divine, for example, because it was five years into the first age, known as the Divine Age. Dragon Age 4's "age" system uses the series' unique way of delineating years.
