The Divine Age and by extension the entire Chantry calendar began with the creation of the Chantry itself, and ages last approximately one-hundred years.Īt the end of the seventh age, the Storm Age, the leaders of the Chantry were anxious about the future. Similarly, the main events of Dragon Age: Origins take place in 9:31 Dragon, written that way because they take place thirty-one years after the start of the ninth age, known as the Dragon Age.
