Listen "The Elven Gods: A Deeper Look at the Religious Beliefs of the Elves of Thedas "
Episode Synopsis
In today's episode, Austin and Shelby unpack the religious beliefs of the elves of Thedas.
Throughout all three Dragon Age games, we see, hear, and experience a variety of religious beliefs from the elves of Thedas. Some elves are Andrastian. Others, such as the Dalish, honor one specific Elven god above all the others. But what did the ancient elves believe in?
We'll take a deep dive on both ancient and modern Elven beliefs. We'll look at the ancient Elven pantheon, also called the Evanuris, including gods you're probably pretty familiar with like Mythal and Fen'Harel. We'll also get into some elven gods you've probably never heard of, like Elgar'nan, June, and Andruil.
