The Blightlands are a barren region in southern Ferelden that were overwhelmed by darkspawn after the fall of Lothering during the start of the Fifth Blight.

Background[]


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.


Lands touched by darkspawn taint become blighted, most, if not all plant and animal life are either corrupted or destroyed. As a result of the corruption, the Blighlands are predominantly devoid of any life except for those of the darkspawn. The only describable landmark remaining is that of the Imperial Highway. By the end of the Fifth Blight the Blightlands had spread across most of the central and southern areas of Ferelden. The Korcari Wilds and the area surrounding Lothering were completely devastated. It is unknown as to how severe the damage was to other parts of the kingdom farther from the source of the blight.

The Hawke family flees across the Blightlands being pursued by darkspawn. They encounter a veteran of the Battle of Ostagar, Aveline Vallen, and her wounded templar husband Wesley Vallen. The group continue their flight before encountering a large brood of darkspawn and an ogre. One of the Hawke twins is slain by the ogre, and the remaining party would have surely been slaughtered if not for the intervention of the Witch of the Wilds in the form of a high dragon.

Flemeth struck a bargain with the eldest Hawke child, and agreed to shepherd the group safely to Gwaren, after they slew Wesley out of mercy.
