Chantry

The Chantry of the Divine
The major religious group in Ferelden and other parts of Thedas. It’s based on the Chant of Light, a series of teachings written by Andraste, the founder of the religion.

While the actual priesthood of the Chantry is made up entirely of females, men are allowed into affiliated groups like the Templars and other non-ordained positions. The leader of the Chantry is the Divine who resides in the capital of Orlais.

The Chantry calender is used everywhere in Thedas, save for the Imperium, and is the source of the Ages the game is named after.

The funeral rites of the Chantry involve cremation. As Andraste's body was burned, and her spirit ascended to stand by the Throne of the Maker, so too will that of her followers.
