The Free Marches, Part One: Kirkwall and Ostwick: Magic, Qunari, and the Grand Tourney, Oh My!

In this first episode, Shelby and Austin take a two-part look into the Free Marches. We'll look at their history, their culture, and what makes them unique from the rest of Thedas.

You might be thinking--isn't the Free Marches just Ferelden-lite? Or maybe you think all of the Free Marches is just like Kirkwall. Ever wondered why Kirkwall has such a high percentage of blood mages? We'll look at these similarities to Ferelden and Kirkwall, while also explaining how each city in the Free Marches is unique and answering all your questions along the way.

In this first part, we focus Kirkwall and Ostwick.
