Dragon Age: Codex
content auto translated from {from}

Many would agree that one of the appealing aspects of DA:O is the carefully crafted world, including various legends and other folklore.

Separate pages of the Codex have been repeatedly posted on the blog.

You can find the complete Codex in English

Here is the Codex in Russian (however, it is not complete, and the pages load unacceptably slowly).

However, I wanted to gather together the indications of where to find new pages. I will share what I found regarding this:

The Codex is compiled by the forces of dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Codex

Note: The numbering of the Codex chapters also includes the DLCs "The Keepers' Fortress", "The Stone Prisoner", "Return to Ostagar", "Holiday Gifts and Raffles". If you do not have any of these DLCs, then there will, accordingly, be fewer chapters in the Codex. )))
