Dragon Age: A Deep Dive Into The Maker

gamerant.com:

Within the universe of Dragon Age, the Maker is the name of the god that the Chantry and its Andrastians believe in. He is the god of the dominant religion in Thedas, and is the being Andraste believes she saw visions of and thus created the Chant of Light. It is believed that the Maker is all-power and created everything from mortals to spirits, as well as the world and the Fade.

Within Dragon Age's Chantry, it is believed that the Maker turned away from his creations and will not be of any help until humanity proves their worthy of his affection again. Due to this, spreading the Chant of Light and getting all in Thedas to believe in the Maker is the top priority for followers of the religion. However, there are a lot of questions as to what the Maker really could be, or if there is more to this all-powerful god than meets the eye.

Dragon Age: The History Of Kirkwall

According to the Chant of Light, the first world the Maker created was the Fade and his first children were the spirits that he created in his own image. Ultimately, though, the Maker abandoned these creations because they lacked a soul and only knew how to imitate whatever they saw. The Maker's second world was Thedas and its people (though the Chantry believes dwarves were not among his creations). He separated it from the Fade by making the Veil.

It is believed that the spirits grew jealous of the Maker's love for mankind, so they tricked humans into believing in the Old Gods instead of the Maker. This act became known as the «Original Sin» and it made the Maker imprison the Old Gods underground and abandon mankind. He left his Golden City, which lead up to the Second Sin, when magisters of the Tevinter Imperium used knowledge given to them by the Old Gods
