6 Paths of Origin

Dragon Age: Origins Plot

The player driven character, "The Warden", is a new Grey Warden recruited within the realm of Ferelden. Where they begin the strenuous task of halting the inevitable Fifth Blight as one of the six origin stories. The origin chosen by the player determines who the Warden is prior to the main events of the game's story. At the same time, it also affects how Non-Playable Characters (party and non-party) will react to the Warden. Once you have been recruited it comes to pass that the Warden must utilize the Grey Warden treaties to gather unlikely allies to build an army to face the Archdemon. The Archdemon being an Old God manifested in the form of a powerful and terrifying dragon, now tainted by the darkspawn. Has risen from its prison beneath the surface to unleash the Blight in the rather rocky history of Thedas. The Warden will also gather companions along the way who will help support them on this perilous task. As one of the last remaining Grey Wardens remaining within Fereldan. The players actions over the course of one year - both indirectly and directly- will decide which factions align with the warden to help defeat the Archdemon and its darkspawn hordes. The fate of the world as well as your companions fates rest on you.
