Dragon Age 4 Every Faction Practically Confirmed for the Sequel So Far

Dragon Age 4 gets closer every day, and with fans hoping a release date will finally be confirmed at E3 2021, the end of the long wait could soon be in sight. Ever since the game’s announcement, eagle-eyed fans have been putting together many of its details piece by piece. The game’s setting, the Tevinter Imperium, was practically confirmed among fans even before its confirmation by BioWare.

You can’t have a fantasy setting without factions to fill it, however, and Dragon Age 4 may have more factions at play than any previous game in the series. Here’s every faction that has practically be confirmed for the next game so far, and the roles they appear to be playing in the series’ next chapter.

The Grey Wardens

Dragon Age 4 Every Faction Practically Confirmed for the Sequel So Far

The Grey Wardens were the stars of Dragon Age: Origins, but have taken on a reduced role in subsequent games ever since the end of the Fifth Blight. BioWare released a video at Gamescom 2020 giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the game’s development so far. This included a clip of voice over artist Ike Amadi playing a character named Davrin, recording the line “for the Wardens!” This appears to confirm that there will be a Grey Warden companion in Dragon Age 4. The fact that Davrin is still representing the Wardens, even while presumably fighting alongside players also suggests the Wardens are directly involved in the fight against the Dread Wolf.

There are elements of Dragon Age 4’s plot which could come to the forefront with the Wardens’ return. Travelling to Tevinter may see players explore the Silent Plains for the first time, for example. The Silent Plains were the sight that the Wardens defeated the First Blight, and the Veil is still thin there centuries later. It’s also said that some Dalish clans in the region may be loyal to the Dread Wolf, which could see Elven and Grey Warden history clash in Dragon Age 4.

The Executors

Dragon Age 4 Every Faction Practically Confirmed for the Sequel So Far

Not much is known about the Executors, which made Dragon Age: Inquisition’s ominous hints at the faction’s arrival all the more intriguing to fans. All that is known about the Executors is that they represent powers across the sea, and that an Executor who appeared in Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights had their face covered, and had a voice which avoided description by either age or gender. Depending on the Inquisitor’s decisions, entire outposts of Inquisition agents may go missing in Dragon Age: Inquisition, with the Executors sending a message than these agents gave “themselves of their own free will to a higher cause.”

One image of what looks like’s Dragon Age 4’s companion roster shows one figure with a glowing face, which could be an Executor companion. What exactly their higher cause is remains unknown, though they are connected to some strange events in Thedas’ history like the murder of Queen Madrigal. Many fans will be excited to finally learn who the Executors are in Dragon Age 4.

The Imperial Chantry

The heavy presence of the Imperial Chantry in Dragon Age 4 is practically confirmed by its setting, the Tevinter Imperium. Unlike the Andrastian Chantry — now led by an Inquisition companion renamed the Divine Victoria — the Imperial Chantry has never made mages second-class citizens. On the contrary, the Imperial Chantry believes that Andraste’s commandment that magic is made to serve man and never to rule over him is in fact a call for responsible governance by mages, who dominate the Tevinter aristocracy and civil service.

The Imperial Chantry’s reaction to the Divine Victoria in the south could be particularly interesting. There are multiple Dragon Age world states that include the Andrastian Chantry relaxing its laws regarding mages after Inquistion. As one of Tevinter’s most powerful factions, the Imperial Chantry could be connected to some of the biggest secrets fans are hoping see revealed in Dragon Age 4.

The Qunari

Dragon Age 4 Every Faction Practically Confirmed for the Sequel So Far

The Qunari — the Qun-based society run out of Par Vollen rather than the race of horned, grey-skinned giants — have been built up as one of Dragon Age 4’s key factions. It has been confirmed that Sten, the Qunari companion from Dragon Age: Origins, is now the Qunari Arishok, their military leader. In Inquisition’s Trespasser DLC, the Qunari attempted to use eluvians to assassinate the leaders of southern Thedas. They are also confirmed to have recently recaptured the Tevinter city of Ventus in Tevinter Nights, poisoning every mage they could capture with Qamek, a drug designed to render them mindless workers.

This combined with the events of Trespasser make a renewed war between the human nations of Thedas and the Qunari likely to be a key plot-point in Dragon Age 4. Tevinter’s history as the only nation to never sign a peace deal with the Qunari makes it very likely that the Qunari will have a greater presence than ever before in the upcoming game.

The Dread Wolf’s Army

While the name of this faction has yet to be confirmed, it is extremely likely that Dragon Age 4 will explore the primarily Elven force springing up in support of the Dread Wolf’s plans. Solas wants to tear down the Veil between the Fade and Thedas, and in doing so hopes to rebuild the ancient Elven empire of Elvhenan, which was razed by the Tevinter Imperium. With Elves comprising the bulk of Tevinter’s slaves, Solas’ mission will likely attract a huge number of supporters with little to lose. This faction will also likely include the Elves of the Silent Plains, and possibly some non-Elven converts to Solas’ often-sympathetic ends.

While some factions like the Inquisition, the Templars, and the Circle of Magi are also likely to return, there isn’t as much evidence that they will be main players in the plot. Dragon Age 4’s focus on different factions than previous games could be key to helping make it feel like the start of an entirely new chapter in the series, despite following a plotline established in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Dragon Age 4 is in development.
