Thedas is the only continent of the known world and consists of various clans, nations and states inhabited by multiple humanoid peoples. The Dragon Age franchise is set in Thedas, with events from the main series games taking place primarily in its southern regions. In addition to video games, the franchise has expanded to other media and now spans multiple spin-off games, novels, graphic novels, comic books, webseries, an anime film, as well as other licensed products and merchandise.

The main series games have all met with commercial success as well as mostly positive acclaim for its narrative, universe lore, character development, voice acting, and emphasis on player choices affecting the experience. A fourth installment is currently under development. All three main series games have been joined by a variety of expansions and downloadable content (DLC) add-ons. A third installment, Dragon Age: Inquisition centers on the Inquisition, an organization tasked with restoring peace and order to Thedas, which is ravaged by a demonic invasion from beyond the mortal realm over a decade after the events of the first game. Its sequel Dragon Age II is centered around the eldest child of the Hawke family, a Blight refugee who eventually becomes the Champion of the city state of Kirkwall. A Blight begins when the darkspawn track down and awaken an Archdemon, a powerful dragon that controls the Darkspawn hordes.

Their mission is to save the kingdom of Ferelden from being overrun by the Darkspawn, a monstrous race of subterranean-dwelling beings who swarm the surface world every few hundred years in a movement known as a Blight. The first game in the series, Dragon Age: Origins, follows the story of a recent recruit to a legendary order of warriors known as the Grey Wardens. The franchise takes place on the fictional continent Thedas, and follows the experiences of its various inhabitants.
