    "Ruthlessly fact checked" is an overstatement but it's beautiful
  

*by V***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2013*

Edited 5 Jun 2013 to add that there is a World of thedas errata sheet (written by Brother Genitivi, of course) available now on the BioWare blog. I can't put a clickable URL in the review but it is located atblog DOT bioware DOT com /2013/06/05/world-of-thedas-volume-1-an-errataI bought the Collector's Edition through Bioware as well as the regular hardcover from Amazon and both of those get four and a half out of five stars. Five for art and design, four for content and accuracy.  The Kindle version gets one star, for reasons enumerated in the last paragraph.For a book that Mike Laidlaw claims is "ruthlessly fact checked" it has a number of obvious errors, and John Green's review already covered many of them.Examples of a few timeline inconsistencies that John didn't cover:- 

  
Dragon Age: The Calling









  
  
    
   covers the events of King Maric's return to the Deep Roads in the company of some Orlesian Grey Wardens including Duncan.  Someone editing the World of Thedas timeline got very confused and decided that the events at the end of The Calling took place in 9:10 and the ones that make up the bulk of the book took place in 9:14.- The timeline claims that Empress Celene was born in 9:6, but the body of the text says she became Empress at age 16 in 9:20.- Early in the timeline the Avvars split off from the Alamarri in -1815 Ancient and the Chasind split off and move into the Wilds in -1415. In 1:50 Divine they combine forces and Hafter holds them off, becoming the first teyrn in the Ferelden valley.  In 5:42 Exalted, the timeline says that Calenhad united Ferelden.  In the body of the text, on page 26, there's a description of human tribes that claims that Avvar and Chasind only split off because they resisted the unification of Ferelden under Calenhad.On the plus side, the book is absolutely gorgeous and it is really nice to have all of the information in one place and so well-organized. The lore isn't all brand-new stuff we didn't already know, but some of it is a really interesting look at parts of the world we would never get to see in-game: there's an interesting bit about the sexual mores of different cultures, a bunch of sidebars by various Thedosian personalities, lots of notes and letters, and quite a lot of detailed information.  The chapter on Thedosian races and the one on the various nations of Thedas are both excellent and do a great job of giving a more vibrant picture of life in Thedas.The Kindle version is essentially a low-res scan of the books I already paid over $100 for. It doesn't work on my Mac, doesn't work on my actual Kindle device, and doesn't work on my iPhone. It only works on the Kindle app on my iPad. The text is not searchable or selectable, and navigating the book uses the comic book interface of the Kindle app much like Dark Horse's own comic reader. Unlike the Dark Horse reader, I can't view parts of the book in significantly better detail by zooming: you get the full-page and the frame nav, and that's it. Given the choice between it and any other available format, choose the other format.

    Pretty good; great art, a little short for the price
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2019*

I purchased the HC version.  It's a little short, and not at all comprehensive (there is a second installment).  I liked the art; much of the style is similar to Dragon Age 2 and I found it gorgeous to look at - much of it I hadn't seen before.  Most interesting sections cover geography and summaries of different countries/races within the world (culture, fashion, etc.); I do wish these sections were a little more blown out... I realize this isn't to everyone's taste, but I found them interesting and to me, they felt tantalizingly underdeveloped.  The timeline is also helpful (its nice to see where everything anchors), but appears to contain some errors (based on expanded universe comics, novels).  Much of the information in the volume isn't new, and therefore not terribly gripping to a fan of the game series (ugh; bestiary) and generally covers things already laid out in games/novels/comics... I was hoping for more new material in some areas (things to look forward to, things I hadn't heard yet).  Unless you are a completist, I might give it a pass (do pick up the 2nd volume though; I thought it was great and contained a lot more info I hadn't seen before).

    Beautiful, informative tome of Dragon Age lore
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017*

When I first played Dragon Age: Origins many moons ago, one of the first things I fell in love with was the world and its history. The collector's edition strategy guide contained a brief, but informative lore section, and I ate it up. Codex entries in the game itself were also equally entertaining, especially because there were some instances where people either weren't sure about what was behind certain events, or their words were colored by perspectives and prejudices.The World of Thedas: Volume 1 is one hefty tome of all of this. There are sections about geography, religion, magic, and other key aspects of this vast, violent world, filled to the brim with details and personal accounts. For those who have played Dragon Age II and Inquisition, you will also see many clues about events that will soon come to pass. Personally, my favorite feature is the timeline that runs along the bottom of every page, from the beginnings of the elven calendar through the "present" year of the Dragon Age, punctuated with key moments and events in this long and eventful history.If you can't get enough Dragon Age lore, and you suspect you may know (or want to know) more about the history of Thedas than the real world that we live in, this is definitely the book for you.
