=== Queen of Dragons ===
=== Great Dragon Blood ===
The blood of great dragons is enormously powerful. The Magister Aurelian Titus in Dragon Age: Until We Sleep equates the blood of great dragons with godlike power. Titus tells Alistair the ancient Tevinter magisters were close to harnessing this power and believes that, were he able to, he could restore the Tevinter Imperium to its former glory.Dragon Age: Until We Sleep, Chapter 3. 
The Qunari also have a legend regarding the power of great dragon blood. The Arishok recites this legend to King Alistair, Isabela and Varric. The Qunari claim that King Calenhad the Great of Ferelden was no knight but rather an impoverished and ambitious dog-handler. He bought the services of a witch, who advised him to seek out one of the last great dragons and drink its blood, thereby imbibing its prodigious strength and allowing him to conquer Ferelden.

== Notes ==
* Based on Yavana's conversation with Alistair in Chapter 6 of The Silent Grove, there is one confirmed great dragon awake and at large in Thedas: the Queen of the dragons. The last remaining great dragon are still sleeping within the Hall of Sleepers and can only be awakened by the blood of the line of Calenhad.
