The city of Minrathous is unlike anything we’ve seen in Dragon Age before

Much of The Veilguard will take place in Minrathous, the magic-driven capital city of the Tevinter Imperium. When Inquisition party member Dorian Pavus remarked about the southern countryside of the Dragon Age universe feeling quaint, it signaled that his home in Tevinter would be much more impressive. But even that didn’t sell just how imposing the city actually is; it feels almost like a magical cyberpunk city, with the mages who run the place using magic the same way a real-world metropolis uses electricity. We can see a ring-like structure that floats above the city, which was shown to act as a surveillance hub in the gameplay reveal trailer in June. Minrathous seems oppressive, and it will be interesting to see how different versions of Rook will navigate it as their race, background, and class will likely determine their standing there.
