Second Sin

The Second Sin was according to the Orlesian Chantry beliefs a catastrophic event which led to the blackening of the Golden City and the creation of darkspawn.

The Chantry holds that in -395 Ancient seven Magisters Sidereal, each a High Priest to one of the Old Gods, physically entered the Golden City. They did so at the behest of their gods to open "the unreachable gate" in exchange for "power and glory beyond all reckoning"Canticle of Silence 1:16, Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 2 p.57. Reputedly the spell required two-thirds of the lyrium in the Tevinter Imperium as well as the blood of several hundred slaves.Codex entry: The Cardinal Rules of Magic But instead of the dragons the mages found the Maker himself upon the throne of heaven.Canticle of Silence 3:2, Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 2 p.58 The City turned black and the magisters were cast out as the first darkspawn, inadvertently causing the First Blight.Codex entry: The Chant of Light: The BlightCodex entry: Corypheus
While the Orlesian Chantry insists that a flaw inherent to human nature led to mankind's corruption, Tevinter authors lay the blame squarely on the Old Gods.Codex entry: In Hushed Whispers They also claim that the darkspawn always existed, and that the Blight and magisters are not even related.
