AN AU POST-TRESPASSER DRAGON AGE RP — PART III: THE BARRIER HAS FALLEN
To read a general overview, and stay-up-to-date on how plot parts have played out, go here.

When Tevinter heard word that a powerful mage might destroy the Veil; upheave the Fade, they feared for their magics... and so, a barrier spell was crafted — and a new way of life came to be. It was not uncommon before the barrier to call Tevinter a dictatorship, but with the arrival of earth and magic to keep the Tevene people in and all of Thedas out... that only became worse. From 9:44 Dragon until 9:50 Dragon, the Tevinter people have been locked behind a barrier, living under a military regime that favored mages and used non-mages in menial labor and the military.

But the barrier is gone now, and so is the Black Divine...

Things are starting to change.

Thedas

Antiva is a country ruined by plutocracy, something that the royals despise. It is a coastal kingdom, relying heavily on sea-trade. This country has fruitful vineyards and is known for an aggressive diplomatic approach when dealing with other nations. This is one of the wealthiest nations in Thedas. The landscape varies, from forests and mountains to the ocean, large domed buildings that are truly just displays of wealth.

Places of Note


Antiva

Ferelden had just been freed from Orlesian hold during the reign of King Maric, and therefore it can be expected that much of Ferelden's architecture can mimic Orlais. However, Ferelden does have its own castles with high steeples and turrets, it's flatlands, farmlands and more. In this nation, teyrns and teyrnas hold power over their own land, and the King does not always have the final say.

Places of Note


Ferelden

The Free Marches take up a lot of eastern Thedas, situated to the south of Antiva, east of Nevarra, and north of Ferelden. There are many cities encompassed in this area, however the main three cities of note are: Wycome, Kirkwall and Starkhaven. These cities are independent-minded, led by the descendents of barbarians who cannot agree on any matter at all. The Free Marches are always divided, and every city has a different outlook on how the city should be ran. These are practically lawless lands... but be careful not to break the laws that do exist.

Places of Note


Marches

Building are stone and brick, with steep sloping roofs, double-sloped mansard roofs, dormer windows, towers and turrets. Orlais has always taken things far too seriously, and may be considered one of the most dramatic nations in all of Thedas. The people of this Empire walk around in elegant clothing that are often styled after animals, or otherwise crafted to be as extra as is humanly possible. Masks are oft-used to hide ones face, especially if you're involved in 'the game'. Everyone's playing at something.

Places of Note


Orlais

Once a country to spread through Thedas, Tevinter is only a shadow of its former glory. Ruled by Magisters and held up by a huge population of slaves, it still remains the center of the slave-trade of all Thedas, known for the silent acceptance of bloody forbidden magic.

Places of Note


Tevinter
