Welcome to the first episode of Ran Explains Lore (Badly!)!
Today's topic: The Darkspawn
So a thousand years ago some stupid mages did some stupid magic shit, got cursed, turned into monsters, and thrown underground. They made a bunch of monster babies, dug up a hibernating dragon-god, then decided to conquer the world! They almost did, and then the Grey Wardens showed up and kicked their asses. This has happened five times now.
This is a #DragonAge fandom account, where I describe the lore as my character, Asaarana.
