Today's episode is covering another member of the Evanuris pantheon: Sylaise. Often said to be beautiful, feminine, and the keeper of knowledge about the domestic arts, Sylaise is a bit of a break from tradition, in the most traditional sense. Listen now to find out how Sylaise is different from and similar to the rest of the elven gods and goddesses.

He's so unknown that many of us don't even know how to pronounce his name. Listen now to find out all about this obscure member of the Evanuris, as well as some theorycrafting and shitposting from the three of us!

Today, The Cups discuss another elven god – arguably, the one most worshipped by the elves, at least the ones we've seen so far. Taking a look at Mythal, we discuss her history, her role among the Evanuris, who the Dalish say she is, and how Flemeth and Andraste fit into this story. And of course, we wonder where she is now.

Today, the Cups discuss an extremely weird and off-the-wall creature, ghasts, and its cousin, the velgastrial. We've only ever seen them once, and it was in a DLC. We discuss whether or not they fit into the lore, and if we'll ever see them again. We also spend the second half of the episode talking about Tallis, the first – and currently, only – female Qunari companion, also featured in the Mark of the Assassin DLC.

On this week's episode, Shelby and Austin continue the spooky vibes with two more creatures – the griffon and the scaled ones. The griffons are the majestic creatures of the Grey Wardens, but it gets a little spooky when we discuss how they went "extinct." We also talk about the Scaled Ones, which is actually another race of beings, not another animal! Listen now to find out more about the griffons and the Scaled Ones!

Today, the Cups are joined by repeat special guest Allisondraste to discuss perhaps the most ignored character in all of Dragon Age, Oghren. Oghren is an alcoholic, somewhat of a misogynist, gross, and generally, forgettable. But how did he get this way? What part of his backstory led him to be so repugnant?

In this week's episode, the Cups talk about our final historical event – the Exalted Council of the Inquisition, or what happens in Trespasser. We talk about this event, its repercussions for the Inquisition, its members, and the uncharacteristic actions of a certain member. Our side character for today is an important one with lots of appearances, so it's really a mini-character deep dive on Arl Teagan Guerrin!

In this week's episode, the Cups talk about a war that we as the players and the Inquisition help end – the War of the Lions. You may have also heard this referred to as the Orlesian Civil War. But it's not really, fully a civil war as fighting doesn't break out amongst all of the people of Orlais. This war is a war about succession and rulership of the country of Orlais. Today, we discuss how it all started, what happened, and how it ended.

In this week's episode, the Cups—along with Cyke from the MCU Lorecast and Mass Effect Blue Shift Podcast—dive into another major war in Thedas. This time, we're looking at the Mage-Templar War. Is it really a war? Or is it just a series of conflicts? Is it a Civil War or just a war between three groups? We discuss these topics, and Cyke takes a segment of the show to discuss how this event in the Dragon Age universe may or may not relate to modern-day conflicts, wars, and revolutions.

In this week's episode, the Cups look at a precursor war to another set of Exalted Marches. This week, we're looking at the Qunari Wars, which is their first expedition into mainland Thedas. They came in unexpected force, with superior technology, which allowed them to take over a significant chunk of Thedas very easily. It takes Thedosians a hot minute before they're ready or able to fight back. This episode dives into all of these attempts, and leads into the Exalted March against the Qunari.

In this week's episode, the Cups look at another Exalted March, or really, a group of Exalted Marches. These are the Marches called against the Imperial Chantry of Tevinter. We dive into the background that informs this March, as well as the major theological differences between the two Chantries--and there are MANY! We also cover what we know about the Marches themselves, the changes Tevinter made to the Chantry afterwards, and whether or not the Chantries will ever be reunified.

In this week's episode, the Cups look at another Exalted March. This one is the Exalted March against the Dales. You may think you know quite a bit about elven lore, but listen today to learn about the elves during the time of their second homeland--the Dales. We cover what we know about the elven culture of the Dales, their isolationism, their deteriorating relationship with the humans of Orlais, and of course, the Exalted March itself.

Flemeth is such an interesting character, and one of the few who appear in all of three games.

As this episode is part one, we'll be back next week to finish up Flemeth's story. Note: We are not discussing Mythal. She'll get her own episode!

In this week's episode, the Cups discuss the very first Exalted March, led by Andraste and Maferath against Tevinter. You might think you already know everything there is to know about Andraste. But we dive into the specifics of the context and background leading up to this Exalted March, as well as the actual fights and the aftermath of Andraste's martyrdom. This Exalted March is labeled as the first, but really, that title was bestowed much later, after the Chantry was formed. Listen now, and find out all there is to know about the first of the Exalted Marches!

In this week's episode, the Cups dive into another main character and party companion--this time from Dragon Age 2. Yep, that's right. We're finally talking about Teecup's favorite character: Fenris. We talk about what little we know of Fenris's backstory and childhood, but we spend most of our time focusing on his roles in Dragon Age 2 as a companion and in the comics as the Blue Wraith. We also discuss his status as a former slave in Tevinter, and how that affects his views on magic. We also discuss his antagonistic relationship with Anders, his ability to come back in Dragon Age Dreadwolf, and of course, whether we love or hate him.

In this week's episode, the Cups discuss the problem of slavery throughout Thedas. You might be wondering, "isn't slavery just in Tevinter, not all of Thedas?" While slavery is only legal in Tevinter, we have seen it in other places in many different countries and groups of Thedas. We discuss all of this, and go into depth about both historical and modern-day slavery.

In this week's episode, The Cups dissect red lyrium—its creation, effects, and impact on the lore of the Dragon Age universe. We also take a look into how red lyrium impacts the templars, as compared to regular lyrium.

In this episode, the Cups talk all about lyrium—its uses, effects, and the beliefs surrounding it. You might only think of lyrium as part of a potion that helps you in Dragon Age Origins. But the lore around lyrium is much, much deeper. We also talk about some conspiracy theories surrounding lyrium, as well as some ways that it may play into Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

Throughout this week's episode, Teecup and Shecup unpack the Venatori. You might know quite a bit about this faction, as they are a major antagonist of Dragon Age: Inquisition. But we also uncover much more about them along the way.

You might be wondering who these members of the Venatori even are, or how much power they have in Tevinter. Or you might be wondering how much the Tevinter Imperium officially sanctions their group. We answer these questions and more, so join us on this episode of The Dragon Age Lorecast!

In this week's episode, Austin and Shelby begin a new sub-section of episodes on the many, varied mercenary groups and crime syndicates of Thedas. This week's episode covers both The Carta, a dwarven crime syndicate, and The Coterie, the leading crime organization in Kirkwall.

You might not remember The Coterie, or even The Carta. They're both fairly minor groups--so why are we covering them? Both The Carta and The Coterie play an integral role in your experience of Thedas. Up to two main characters can be apart of The Carta.

Join us as we take a journey deep into the heart of crime with by examining these two groups.

In this third minisode, we take a deep dive into the one, the only, Sister Leliana. Throughout this episode, we look at Leliana's backstory pre-Origins, diving into her romance with Marjolaine. We also look at her arc throughout Origins, 2, and Inquisition. And we consider the options of what happens to her post-Dragon Age Inquisition.

Maybe you think Leliana is a bit naive in DAO. Or maybe you're extremely frightened of her in DAI. Maybe her constant talk of the Maker grates on your Warden/Inquisitor. Or maybe you just appreciate that she appears in all three games!

Either way, join us as we talk about this iconic character in the Dragon Age series.

In this week's episode, Austin and Shelby dive into a huge topic--the Circles of Magi.

If you've played Dragon Age: Origins, you're probably pretty familiar with the Circles, or at least Fereldan's Circle. But if you routinely skip this section of DAO, or if you haven't yet jumped into DAO, you might not be as familiar with the inner-workings of a Circle of Magi.

In this episode, we talk all about the Circles, including their history, when they were founded, what they're like today, and how mages exist within their confines. We also take a few minutes to badmouth Seeker Lambert along the way.

In this week's episode, Austin and Shelby take a look at eight different religious groups that the Orlesian Chantry has deemed heretical.

These different groups are vastly different from one another, but they all share the ire of the Chantry. Some of the groups worship the blight, while others worship the, *ahem* union of The Maker and Andraste. And others are just plain weird. We dig into all of this and more on this week's episode.

In this week's episode, Austin and Shelby dive into the Imperial Chantry, the second-largest and perhaps, the first Chantry organization in Thedas.

During this episode, we talk about all the ways that the Imperial Chantry is different from the Orlesian Chantry, their specific beliefs, history, and founding, as well as the ways that they are intrinsically tied to Tevinter's history and culture.

In this week's episode, Austin, Shelby, and special-guest, Virvada of the Two Girls One Ship podcast talk about the Orlesian Chantry--also known as the only Chantry that many of us know about.

But did you know there's another Chantry? The Imperial Chantry of Tevinter. During this episode, we talk about the founding of the Chantry, the split of the Chantry based in Orlais and the one based in Tevinter, as well as much of their theology, teachings, and practices throughout Thedas. And while BioWare says that the Chantry is not based on any specific religion in our world, we may or may not have (we definitely did) kept a Christianity metaphor/reference tracker throughout this episode.

In this episode, we look at what little we do know of Cullen's backstory before the events of Dragon Age: Origins, as well as his involvement throughout all three games, and where he is currently.

In this episode, Shelby and Austin take a look at the Seekers of Truth. This lesser known faction in Thedas holds a great deal of power, and they also harbor many secrets that impact the whole of Thedas. We attempt to uncover what we do know about them, as well as analyze the Seekers' role in the relation to the Templars and the rest of Thedas.

We answer questions like, how does someone become a Seeker? How are they different from templars? How much power do they have over templars? We attempt to answer these questions and more in this week's episode.

In this episode, Shelby and Austin discuss the military arm of the Chantry, the Templar Order.

Depending on which Origin you picked while playing Dragon Age Origins, the Templars can be one of the first factions you meet and hear about in the world of the Thedas. Loved by some and hated by many others, the Templars are one of the most controversial factions in Dragon Age.

We take a look at what makes the templars tick. How are they structure? How were they founded? How does one become a templar? We discuss these questions and more in this episode of the Dragon Age Lorecast.

In this Season Two premiere, Shelby and Austin take a look at the infamous Grey Wardens, one of the very first factions we're introduced to in Dragon Age: Origins.

If you've played all of the games, you probably know quite a bit about the Wardens. And if you've only played one of the games, you still probably know quite a bit about the Wardens. In this episode, we'll take a look at the founding and history of the Grey Warden order, as well as their actions throughout the Blights, their structure, and their recent political machinations.
