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. It once referred to all lands beyond the Imperium. However, it eventually came to encompass the entire continent.
A person that lives in Thedas is referred to as a Thedosian.
Thedas is comparable to Europe in size, with the Amaranthine Ocean on the east, and the Boeric Ocean to the north. Ferelden lies to the far southeast and isn't that large compared to the rest of the continent.
Further south, past the Korcari Wilds, 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 also lies to the north, much closer to the equator.
The name was originally an acronym used on the Bio Ware Dragon Age forums. It stands for THE Dragon Age Setting.
