Welcome to Season 8!!!! We're so excited to launch this new season, dedicated to all things Entertainment of Thedas.

In the second half of this season, we'll dive into all things recreational in Thedas: sports, theatre, music, and more.
Today's episode is our first book club episode, focusing on The Stolen Throne by David Gaider. We discuss the plot, characters, and lore within this novel at length, and at the end, we give the book a rating out of 5.

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.

Customer Reviews
Obsessed
I am currently going through a period of obsession over Dragon Age lore. I’ve played all the games, read and watched all the tie-in media, and I’m currently going through every codex entry from the games. And even after all that I still learn new lore from this podcast with almost every episode. While I disagree with some of the ideas the hosts have on certain lore aspects (mainly Orlais, I love Orlais) I always feel like the thoughts they share are well informed and interesting.
Keep up the good work!
I’ll leave you with my favorite DA quote, from the girl boss herself:
“Sitting on my throne, I see every city in the empire. If I must burn one to save the rest, I will weep, but I will light the torch!”
Great Podcast Overall
I really enjoy your podcast
The Lone wolf
Hi guys!! I’m Adrian and I’ve been a fan of dragon age since origins came out! I’m 23 years old as of May 2023. An I’m currently stuck on play dai, I’ve tried to get the others but I couldn’t. I’ve played them before but I just want to replay them. Currently in the play through of Dai I’m playing as a Female elf named Velissana who happens to be a mage. She’s straight up and tells you the truth wether you like it or not. She’s started a relationship with Cullen, sided with the templars and trying her best to be friends with everyone on her team. At first her and Cassandra didn’t get alone but as time went they became good friends. Shes soon to be either be going to the grand ball or meeting hawke and stroud at the western approach. Will she drink from the well when it comes to it? Or will she let morrigan. (I’m slowly making progress in the game so I’m doing war table quests and a lot of side missions). Other then that your guys podcast makes my days especially when I’m at work. I work late so this keeps me very entertained and getting me thinking what choices should I make and who really is the bad guys. At first I really though the templars were bad but as you get to know them and learn about them they’re just misunderstood. Thank you guys for making this podcast! I can’t wait to listen to more and I have a question… what do you guys think is going to happen to the world of Thedas and what classes would you guys play in DW
