Factions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are communities gathered by a common purpose and moral. The world of Dragon Age is rich with diverse factions, each with its own unique history, beliefs, and goals. These factions shape the political, social, and magical landscapes of Thedas, the primary setting of the series. There are a total of 6 Factions in the game, 4 of them are debuting in The Veilguard, while fan-favorites, such as the Grey Wardens and the Antivan Crows, return from previous entries.
Rook, the main playable character in the game, can select between the 6 different faction origins available. This decision, will influence how NPCs and the world will perceive Rook, influencing conversations, interactions, and even gameplay to an extent.
Not only Rook has relation to the Factions in the game, all 7 Companions are also related to them, one way or another.
