Thedas

Thedas is a continent in the southern Hemisphere. It contains the Anderfels, Antiva, The Free Marches, Ferelden, Nevarra, Orlais, Par Vollen, Rivain, Seheron, the Tevinter Imperium, and other currently unnamed countries. The word Thedas originates from Tevinter, once referring to all lands beyond the Imperium. Eventually it came to encompass the entire continent.

A native of Thedas is referred to as a Thedosian.

Thedas is comparable in size to modern Europe with the Amaranthine Ocean to the east and the Boeric Ocean to the north. Ferelden lies to the far southeast and is small compared to the rest of the continent.

Beyond the Korcari Wilds to the south is a frozen wasteland that only the Chasind Wilders have explored. There's also land further west but the Hunterhorn Mountains inhibit travel - as do the jungles of Donarks in the northwest. Par Vollen lies to the north, much closer to the equator.

Trivia

 * The name was originally an acronym used on the BioWare Dragon Age forums. It stands for THE Dragon Age Setting. 
 * Thedas is loosely based on Europe, as its nations are based on the European ones.
