Haven is a small village in the Frostback Mountains with a very mixed background in religious matters, where the Temple of Sacred Ashes was discovered. During 9:35 Dragon, at the request of Divine Justinia V, Haven was restored and brought back into the fold of the Maker, giving shelter for the pilgrims who come to visit the Temple. Since the destruction of the town during the events of the Inquisition, it has now been rebuilt and features a monument to commemorate the villagers and soldiers that lost their lives in the attack.

The Dales are the area of southeastern Orlais on the western side of Gherlen's Pass from Ferelden. They are bordered by the Arbor Wilds on the southern end, the Frostback Mountains to the east, and the Waking Sea to the north. They are in the mountain shadow of the Frostbacks, with little rainfall and no major rivers, so most of the present-day human settlements are along the coast.

The Arbor Wilds is a thick forest located south of the Dales in Orlais. Most of the forest is uncharted and unexplored and many that daringly venture this alien-like land never return. Many ancient Elven ruins lay dormant and abandoned within the forest, rich with ancient elven artifacts and treasures.

The Western Approach is a large, arid expanse in southwestern Orlais. The area was the site of a major battle during the Second Blight. The darkspawn swarmed out of the Abyssal Rift and corrupted the land beyond recovery. Now it is a stark and sad place with unstable purple sands, occasional rocky pillars and ridges jutting out of them and strong howling winds.

The Frostback Basin is a region in the far southwestern border of Ferelden which lies beneath the Frostback Mountains. Ancient Tevinter ruins lie overgrown by thick forest, and rare expeditions returned with little information - or did not return at all. The exception is the Avvar, who have long traveled the basin, and, in more recent generations, established a hold along its steep mountain cliffs.

Its capital is Antiva City, which lies on the middle of its coastline and is one of the wealthiest in Thedas.

Nevarra is a nation in central Thedas, west of the Free Marches, south of the Tevinter Imperium, and northeast of Orlais. It was originally one of the larger Free Marches city-states before it expanded rapidly to become a nation proper in the Exalted Age. Thanks to enormous wealth and a strategic central location in Thedas, some claim Nevarra's power rivals that of the Orlesian Empire.

The Tevinter Imperium is the longest existing human country in Thedas and is ruled by a powerful magocracy. The leaders of the Imperium are called magisters, and are led by the Imperial Archon. In ancient times, the Imperium's power was unrivaled and its borders stretched across nearly the entire continent. In modern times, while Tevinter is a shadow of its former self in both size and power, it is still relatively powerful, and a major nation of Thedas.
