Listen "The Orlesian Empire: Who's Playin' the Game?"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode, Austin and Shelby unpack and discuss the history of the Orlesian Empire. They discuss the founding, unification, and ancient history, as well as modern history.
From the early days of Dragon Age: Origins, we hear about those pesky Orlesians, and how much the Fereldans hate Orlais. But how much does this conflict between the countries impact Orlais? And what is Orlesian culture really like? And for the love of the Maker, what is with the Game and all of these masks? We’ll answer all of these questions and more.
