- For the area in Dragon Age: Inquisition, see The Raw Fade (Inquisition).
The Raw Fade is a section of the Fade visited by the Warden in Dragon Age: Origins.
Involvement[]
This section of the fade is an exposed island lying on the periphery of the Sloth Demon's domain, which is a realm controlled by one of the lesser demons under Sloth's power—as part of the protective ward around the Inner Sanctum. After shattering the illusion of Weisshaupt fortress, the Grey Warden headquarters in the Anderfels, the Warden escapes here where they encounter Niall, who reveals the how the Sloth Demon's domain functions.
The Warden will then encounter a mage apprentice in the form of a Mouse who is being help captive by a rage demon. After releasing him from the demon he grants the Warden his mouse shape shifting ability. The Warden will require this talent to travel through mouse holes encountered. The mouse form also features stealth, but the form cannot be used in combat.

Special objects[]

- Lyrium vein - interacting with it restores mana/stamina and health; the vein will recharge after a few minutes.
- Special doors:
|
Bug!  On the northwest island, it is possible to walk under the Spirit Door, making it possible to pass through the door even in normal form. However, it is not possible to do the same on the other side, which leaves your character trapped if they cannot yet use the Spirit form.

- Essences and fonts (2 of 21 total throughout the entirety of this section of the Fade):
- Essence of Dexterity - through Spirit Door on the northern island.
- Essence of Willpower - in the same area where Yevena is encountered.
Trivia[]
- If the Warden is a mage, then when Niall speaks about the mouse dreamer, they have the opportunity to say that they once met another mouse in the Fade, referring to the character Mouse met during their Harrowing.
