The Empire Formerly Belonging to the Dwarves, Part One: Orzammar and Beyond

In this episode, Austin and Shelby begin a two-episode arc on the Dwarven Empire, or at least what's left of it. They discuss Orzammar, and a few outlying thaigs, including Amgarrak, Aeducan, Ortan, and Bownammar.

They also take a look at how the Empire got to where it is today--once a massive, immeasurably powerful kingdom spanning almost more of Thedas than the Tevinter Imperium. You might be wondering if the Dwarven Empire can even be called an Empire still, or you might be wondering how sustainable is life under the surface. We'll answer these questions and more throughout this episode.
