"Dragon Age: Absolution" is an animated series based on the popular role-playing video games by BioWare. The story takes place in the fictional world of Thedas, where the powerful magical empire of Tevinter thrives. The country is ruled by a magocracy, and its name alone strikes fear into the hearts of its enemies. However, beneath its surface, this state has long decayed and lost its former glory. Slavery is officially permitted here, and the five races coexisting in the country do not have equal rights by any means.
