Andoral or the "Dragon of Slaves" – also called the Dragon of Unity, as he was referred to in ancient Tevinter – was one of the Old Gods.
Background
There was a holiday dedicated to Andoral back in the times when the Old Gods were still widely revered. It was called "Andoralis" but this holiday is now known as Summerday and is celebrated as the beginning of summer, a time for joy and, commonly, marriage. It is celebrated at the beginning of Molioris.
Andoral was awakened in 5:12 Exalted by the darkspawn and rose as an archdemon to lead the Fourth Blight, completely overwhelming Antiva and laying siege to the capital of the Anderfels. In the Battle of Ayesleigh in 5:24 Exalted, a combined army from Orlais, the Anderfels, and the Free Marches under the banner of the Grey Wardens defeated Andoral's horde while the archdemon was slain by the elven hero Garahel.
Trivia
- The name may be a reference to "Adonael" the seventh Archangel, angel of the misguided, and victorious.
- During the quest Joining the Grey Wardens, Alistair incorrectly refers to the dragon as "Andorhal", due to his in-familiarity with the joining.
- This might be a reference to Andorhal, a city of azeroth, lost to the undead in the World of Warcraft.
- In Dragon Age: Asunder, Andoral's Reach is Tevinter fortress located near the borders of Orlais.
