éval

Ával is a fictional character from the *Dragon Age* video game series, developed by BioWare. Introduced in *Dragon Age: Origins*, Ával is a human female warrior and one of the main protagonists of the game’s first chapter, "The Age of Darkness." She serves as the player’s companion and guide during this early period of the game’s story, which takes place before the events of the main campaign.

As a member of the Grey Wardens, Ával is a skilled warrior and a devoted follower of the Warden’s creed, which emphasizes duty, honor, and the protection of the world from the Blight—a supernatural darkness threatening to consume the land. She is known for her fierce loyalty, sharp wit, and deep sense of responsibility. Her character arc in *Dragon Age: Origins* explores themes of sacrifice, leadership, and the burden of command.

Ával’s backstory reveals that she was once a member of a small village that was destroyed by the Blight. This traumatic experience shaped her resolve to become a Warden and prevent similar tragedies. Her dialogue and actions often reflect her stoic yet compassionate nature, making her a relatable and respected figure among players.

In later *Dragon Age* games, Ával’s role is limited, but she remains a significant figure in the lore of the series. Her legacy as a founding Warden and a symbol of early resistance against the Blight is acknowledged in subsequent titles, reinforcing her importance in the broader narrative of the *Dragon Age* universe. Fans appreciate her as a representation of the Wardens’ ideals and her contributions to the series’ rich world-building.
