According to Netflix Geeked, "Dragon Age: Absolution" is set in the Tevinter Imperium: An ancient human empire from in-game lore that has only ever been mentioned by name in the "Dragon Age" franchise. Exploring the Tevinter Imperium — the oldest of the human nations on the continent of Thedas — will show the interactions of humans, elves, mages, knights, Qunari, Red Templars, and demons from "Dragon Age" history, introducing new characters to expand the lore (per Deadline).
"Dragon Age: Absolution's" official logline reads, "This is Miriam's Story...When a heist against the most powerful man in Tevinter goes south, an elven mercenary named Miriam (Kimberly Brooks) is forced into a desperate fight for survival. Now, to save herself and her friends, Miriam will have to confront the tragic past she's spent a lifetime trying to escape."
