Growing unsatisfied with them (as what they created was "fleeting, ever-changing"), he then created Thedas, separated from the Fade by the Veil and populated by mortal creatures. According to the Chantry, the Fade is a realm of primeval matter from which the Maker formed the physical world and all living beings.
