The War of the Lions: Orlesian Civil War

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. If you love our show, you can support us on Patreon!
