The Dragon Age fandom has a large and diverse cast of characters, so there are many potential ships. Dragon Age ships tend to use portmanteaus and full virgule titles.

Naming Conventions

The Virgule

As in many other fandoms, romantic pairings are most commonly denoted by a slash, or virgule, separating the characters' names. For example, a story labeled as "Alistair/Warden" refers to a romantic (and/or sexual) work whose primary couple is Alistair and The Warden.

Portmanteaus

Portmanteaus are common in Dragon Age ship names. For example, Iron Bull/Dorian is often referred to as Adoribull.
