Summary
When the demons entered Thedas, it was from deep underground. A portal between dimensions. In a few short years they overran the dwarven kingdoms and broke through to the surface. The First Blight.
Warriors and mages from throughout the Imperium came together, pooling resources and throwing aside old rivalries for the sake of survival. To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. The Grey Warden order was born.
Inspired by the dwarven golems we built giant lyrium-powered suits of armour: Jaegers. They fought the demons in single combat, while our armies battled the darkspawn hordes that followed in their wake. There were setbacks at first. The Fade connection to interface with the Jaeger proved too much for a single mage. A two pilot system was implemented. Left hemisphere: melee. Right hemisphere: mage.
We started winning. Eventually the archdemon was slain and the portal closed. Countless lives had been lost. We mourned our dead, memorialised the war, and moved on. Then, two hundred years later, the Second Blight hit Hossberg. And then the Third hit Vyrantium. We learned that it was not going to stop.
This was just the beginning.
