In response, Divine Galatea grants all Grand Clerics of the Chantry the Right of Annulment, which allows them to execute all the mages in a Circle if it is deemed necessary. 2:83 GloryĪn abomination slaughters all the mages and templars of the Nevarran Circle before breaking out and leaving a path of destruction across the surrounding countryside. 2:80 GloryĪ second Exalted March is called, this time against the Tevinter inhabitants of the city-state of Starkhaven, and the city is freed from Tevinter rule. The elves are overwhelmingly defeated, with Orlais taking Halamshiral, conquering the Dales, and forcing the elves of the Dales to either settle in alienages or scatter into roaming Dalish clans. The next year, Divine Renata declares an Exalted March on the Dales. 170 AncientĪndraste is betrayed by her husband Maferath, captured, and set on a pyre before the gates of Minrathous-before the Archon Hessarian kills her out of mercy to end her suffering.Įlves attack the Orlesian town of Red Crossing, leading to a war between Orlais and the elves of the Dales. The same year, the prophet Andraste is born. It isn't until now, a century later, that the Archdemon Dumat is killed at the Battle of the Silent Plains, ending the First Blight. The Grey Wardens are founded at Weisshaupt, and the Joining Ritual is created as the First Blight still rages on. This is also, therefore, the year that the First Blight begins.

The same year, humans appear for the first time in Thedas, ultimately setting the lands that become the Tevinter Imperium. Solas creates the Veil (although the true date for this can be argued, as Solas isn't exactly forthcoming about his past), Mythal is murdered by the Evanuris, and Solas falls into a slumber. At the height of its power, Elvhenan spanned all of Fereldan, Orlais, and into the lands west of Orlais. The elven city of Arlathan is founded at this time, the grand capital of Elvhenan.
