Originally, the Neromenian tribes worshipped fallen heroes reborn as dragons, and with dreamers as their leaders, they began to instead worship the dreamers' gods, also as dragons. They taught magic unto the dreamers of the Neromenian tribes, and these dreamers became the priests and kings of their people. Some accounts suggest that the Old Gods began whispering to humanity from the Golden City in -2800 Ancient, three hundred years after the arrival of humans in Thedas. In fury, the Maker cursed the Old Gods, imprisoning them in underground tombs where they would slumber eternally. The living started to worship them instead of the Maker, an act recognized as the " Original Sin". In the mortal realm, these spirits took the form of dragons, winged Old Gods that ruled over the land. Eventually, the living summoned them through the Veil. Those powerful enough whispered to the living in dreams claiming that they were the true gods, the creators of the world and the living should bow down before them.
The Chantry teaches that when the Maker turned his back on spirits, some of them grew jealous of the living. The Old Gods are not creators and even the people of ancient Tevinter attributed the creation of the world to a Maker-like deity, although by a different name. The true nature of the Old Gods is unknown.
