The Orlesian Chantry: Power, Prestige, and Lots of Andraste | Featuring Special Guest Virvada, from the Two Girls One Ship Podcast

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.
