The game’s fictional universe is set in Thedas, the continent familiar from previous entries in the series. At the center of the narrative is the character Solas, also known as The Dread Wolf, who seeks to destroy the magical barrier called the Veil that separates the physical world from the spirit realm, thereby freeing the ancient gods. This act carries the risk of plunging the world into chaos. The player controls the main character, Rook, whose appearance, class, and backstory can be customized. Rook’s primary objective is to thwart Solas’s plans and combat the new threats emerging from these developments. The story begins in Minrathous, the capital of the Tevinter Imperium.
