Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 1 by Mike Laidlaw, Ben Gelinas, David Gaider, David Gaider
5.0
By the time I chanced upon the world of Dragon Age, and subsequently fell in love with it, the latest game in the series (DA: Inquisition) had long been out and this book had long been out of print. I was undeterred in my quest to acquire a copy, however, so after a hefty payment and a long wait, I finally had the beautiful thing in my hands.
This book is a wonderful introduction to the world of Thedas (short for THE Dragon Age Setting, if you’re curious) and its myriad peoples. It covers geography, culture, religion, lore and more. My favorite bit, however, is the extremely detailed timeline that runs through the entirety of the tome. I find myself coming back to it often for a quick refresher on the sequence of events.
This book is succeeded by the equally informative and excitingly thicker “Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 2.” Which I also own. Of course. Thankfully my wallet didn’t have to suffer so much for that one.
