Dragon Age: Absolutiontakes place inTevinter, likeDragon Age: Dreadwolf. However, it’s uncertain when it takes place. Some believe because of the art style that it may be an older version of Tevinter, or at least somewhat removed from the upcoming games. At the same time, it has to be post-Dragon Age: Inquisitionor around that same time, as there are Red Templars involved.
The main character is an Elf with facial tattoos—though these tattoos seem more akin to a City Elf than the Vallaslin of the Dalish. The show is said to focus on new characters andDragon Agelore related to elves, mages, knights, Qunari, Red Templars, Demons, and so on. Interestingly enough, it even seems there is afemale Qunariin theDragon Ageshow.
Others have noted how a six-eyed character is likely an abomination or demon, how the purple magic implies some level of necromancy, and what could be potential encounters with the primary antagonist (which could be a necromancer).Dragon Age: Absolution’s showrunner is Mairghread Scott, and it’s written by Tim Sheridan, Mae Catt, and her.
