Описание к видео The History of Thedas (A beginners guide) [Dragon Age Lore]

Hello ladies and gentlemen. This is my first Dragon Age lore video. My intent was to make a quick simple summery of all the important events leading up to Dragon Age: Origins.
I hope you enjoy.

Notes:
- I left a lot of stuff out, but I chose these events because of their
historical significance or the introduction of concepts that have
bearing on the Dragon Age games (for example the Antivan Crows
segment)

- There are some inconsistencies with the Chantry calendar. All the
Ages (except the Ancient Age) are 100 years long from 00 to 99,
The World of Thedas books state that the ages are 99 years long
from 01 to 99, but those same books show events that happened
in 3:00 Towers or 4:00 Black. So I went with the 00 to 99 Age
length, because the entire timeline would collapse if I didn't.

- I didn't include blood magic, because I thought it would be a bit
much to explain how magic works in this video, in hindsight I think
that was a mistake, it would take 20 secs tops.

- I only mentioned the alliance between Tevinter and the Dwarves
after the war with the elves, but their alliance goes back to -1200
Ancient, but considering the Dwarves didn't take part in that war,
I felt that it wasn't necessary to mention the start of the alliance.

- I didn't make mention of the imprisonment of the Old Gods as
we don't know when they were imprisoned. As a result I shouldn't
have said: "freeing and corrupting", and just said: "corrupting".

- Before the schism between the Orlesian and Imperial Chantry,
there were already issues going back as far as Tevinters adoption
of the Chant of light, this was just the breaking point.

- During the werewolf attacks, Mabari warhounds were popularized
in Ferelden. I should have mentioned this.

- In the first Orlesian invasion of Ferelden, Orlais was pushed back
by the Alamarri. I read this was under the Teyrn of Highever, but I
can't find the source anymore, so I'm not sure.

- The Nevarran dragon hunters only hunted the dragons to near
extinction, but it was thought that they were extinct, so I said that
they hunted them to extinction, which also allowed me to treat
their return as a twist.

- My description of the Qun was a little barebones (it's far more
complicated), but I wanted to introduce the Qunari quick and simple.

- I chose to leave out the Grey Warden coup against King Arland
Theirin, because it messed with the flow of the Qunari war story
too much. I made note of it later in the video.

- I chose to leave out the Llomerryn Armada during the third
Exalted March, because it wasn't really important to the flow of
the video, this is why the peace treaty is called the Llomerryn
accord.

- The Independence of Kirkwall was only included to introduce
Kirkwall, so I didn't include that they gained independence from
Orlais.

- I say "it would still take Orlais 20 years to fully conquer Ferelden",
despite the fact that it's clearly 19 years, needless to say I failed
math class.

- I said that Maric was "presumed dead" on his voyage to Wycome,
because his body was never found and some other stuff wink
wink nudge nudge

If you find more problems with the video please tell me so I can put them in the notes.
Other lore videos won't have notes this long.
