World Atlas - Maps - Main areas - Introduction Dragon Age: Origins Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Red color was used to show the locations of traders on the map.

Green color was used to mark the locations of valuable items. The S letter means that you can find a special kind of treasure (most chests contain useless things) and the P letter means that you can find a present for one of your teammates. Make sure to skip to the chapter named Followers and to a section named Presents to find out more about finding and offering gifts.

White color was used to:

1 - inform about important areas

2 - tell the locations of the representatives of different guilds: B stands for Blackstone irregulars, M stands for Mages' collective, C stand for Chanter's board and F stands for Favors.

Orange exclamation marks warn about areas where it can get more difficult because of the presence of monsters or because of the existence of traps. Red exclamation marks warn about even more hazardous areas where you may end up getting killed easily unless you're prepared to go into battle. Note that these warning don't necessarily apply to your first visit in a location, because they may tell about future events. For example, the area around Ishal tower in Ostagar will become dangerous only when you've became a Grey Warden.

The description of each set of maps can be found in a section called Area description and you can find out about:

1) Areas of interest

2) locations of the representatives of different Guilds

3) places where you can go Shopping

4) areas with new members waiting to join your Team
