Mythal: Goddess of Justice and the All-Mother
Today, The Cups discuss another elven god – arguably, the one most worshipped by the elves, at least the ones we've seen so far. Taking a look at Mythal, we discuss her history, her role among the Evanuris, who the Dalish say she is, and how Flemeth and Andraste fit into this story. And of course, we wonder where she is now.

Great Accompaniment To The Series
Just started binging this lore cast as I start a new play through of the trilogy. You can tell the hosts really care about the world and it’s characters which makes for an easy to listen to experience. It’s definitely helped me gain greater knowledge of the world of Thedas as I start to explore the games once again. I’m even listening to it during my weekend walkies with my faithful Mabari War Hound Charlie. Keep up the great work guys.
SO GOOD!!!
If you’re a Dragon Age fan who wants a fuller picture of the amazing lore of the world and history, this podcast is definitely the best choice! Shelby and Austin CLEARLY know what they’re talking about and make you think in new ways about the characters and events of the games - with a lot of insight and nuance! Definitely give it a listen if you’re a lore fiend like me 🧡
Love love love !
Only recently found this podcast, and god I love it! Huge fan of the dragon age world. So when I’m not playing as my fav dwarven hero I am listening and gaining knowledge.
Love learning more about this world and a great escapism from the sadly boring world we are in.
So if in their quest for knowledge they find a way to go into the fade, share the knowledge 😉
