Nations of Thedas

& the IRL countries I’m using for inspiring cultural elements in my fic

Orlais — Literally just France

Nevarra — Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia (probably other central & Eastern European nations too, I’m just most familiar with these ones) (Ottoman Empire vibes)

Ferelden — Wales, Ireland, Scotland

The Free Marches — Scotland, Ireland, Ukraine

Tevinter Empire — England, India

Antiva — Spain, Italy (EDIT: Portugal)

Rivain — Spain, Morocco, Turkey, Greece

Anderfels — Germany, Poland, Switzerland

Are there any you disagree with? Or a country I missed that would be good inspiration? Let me know, I’m thinking I might do a little post for each nation with a collage of inspo pictures and phrases.

Oh! Or isekai MC who gets yeeted to Par Vollen and has to live under the qun for a while?

Or sells themselves into slavery in Tevinter so they can earn money, have a place to stay and hear all the news (eavesdropping mode)? Dorian mentions in DAI that they can be treated right and a qualified slave is expensive so that's an option tbh.

If you have your opinions, knowledge or something to add, I'm all ears!

What we will see in DA4?

1. The historical adeventure in the longest established empire in Thedas. Solution to the mistery of Old Gods and first Blight at your fingertips.

2. TONS of informations, entries in the codex, letters etc. about Tevinter history, culture, contacts with other nations, Tevinter’s law and some tips about Magisters, who got into Golden City.

3. Ancient architecture in every single town! Elven/Tevinter architecture!

4. The Chantry with male Divine.

5. MAGIOCRACYYYY! MAGISTERIUM! MINRATUUUS!

6. Exploring, living and fighting in the biggest city in Thedas! (Minratus)

7. A LOT of mages.

8. A LOT of blood mages.

9. A LOT of demons.

10. The Tevinter version of the Game. Tevinter’s masquerades, intrigues and murders.

11. Different culture, different view (mages are good, nonmages are pointless, slavery is good, society with archonts etc.)

12. Solas as a villain. Maybe Evanuris too?

13. A LOT of elves, slaves, elven slaves - all in rebellious mood.

14. A LOT of qunari. All in mood “we will take over Thedas”.

15. Everybody in weakened Empire at the same time.

16. Total War!

17. The end of the Tevinter Empire? (Guardian in Temple of Sacred Ashes said something about it and one NPC in DAO mentioned that the great flood will consume the Empire. I dunno how. I don’t remember this NPC at all but I remember that it was important NPC. Also - Eleni Zinova’s prophecies).

18. TITANS! (Or something. They woke up because of the BREACH).

19. Dorian Pavus (everybody like or love him, so he has to be included).
