Archdemons are the Old Gods manifested in the form of powerful and terrifying dragons, and tainted by Darkspawn. They possess an intellect far beyond the average dragon and are purely evil creatures.
The evil horde of twisted beings that, under the leadership of an Archdemon, threaten all of Thedas once every few hundred years, in the form of a Blight. They are essentially generic fantasy orcs, goblins, and trolls, lumped together as one race and given different names.
A theme used very often in fantasy and sci-fi settings is that of a brutal, totalitarian empire or kingdom whose armies oppress the common people. Evil Empires appear under many names in various game worlds, including simply "The Empire".
Some games feature a system where a character near death can be dazed into a 'down but not out' state; while their allies can often revive them if they reach the downed character quickly enough, their enemies can perform special, frequently gruesome, execution attacks against such characters.
Genocide refers to killing on massive scale, often systematic and for political or religous reasons.
1) Blood magick. 2) Divination by means of blood or blood sacrifice.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
A weighty real-world issue that some games comment on, often through allegory. Unfortunately, other games can offend players in their depiction of different ethnicities, whether intentionally or not, thus becoming part of the issue themselves.
Forced labor, indentured servitude, humans relegated to property. One of the greatest affronts to individual freedom. Some games employ this as a gameplay mechanic or a major story point.
A Blight occurs when the otherwise chaotic and disorganized Darkspawn awake an Old God with their taint and it arises to lead the hoard as an Archdemon.
The religion of Ferelden and much of the rest of Thedas. Followers believe in The Maker and the teachings of His prophet, Andraste.
Anguish of body or mind. Can be used by authority figures to extract sensitive information that would not be given under normal circumstances.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
