Is Dragon Age Absolution canon?
Absolution is set in the universe of Dragon Age, but is not tied to BioWare’s core games.
Just like any typical role-playing game, the story follows a mercenary party that features people of different races with different specializations: two mages, two warriors, and a rogue.
Their quest? To steal a blood magic artifact, the Circulum Infinitus, from a fortified city called Tevinter Imperium, defended by an army of warriors and a powerful magister.
