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

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!

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.
