Īt the outbreak of the First Blight, the Ciriane fought besides the Tevinters and the Grey Wardens in order to defeat the Archdemon Dumat. In modern times, Ciriane culture has all but disappeared. The Ciriane people, who were largely isolated, remained a strong and distinct group until the founding of Orlais. Survivors of the conflict were absorbed into the Ciriane or Planasene, a tribe settled in present-day Nevarra. The Inghirsh, who settled in northern Orlais and southern Tevinter, were easily defeated in their conflict against the Neromenians, as they were a decentralized and nomadic people. The Ciriane settled in central Orlais and were loosely defined and culturally rich.



Two of the human tribes that arrived in Thedas, the Ciriane and Inghirsh, settled in the region that became known as Orlais and were the ancestors of modern Orlesians.
