When In Thedas When In Thedas

Hey y'all! Welcome back to another episode of When In Thedas!

Today we'll be tackling Morrigan, Solas, the Elven Diaspora, and how all these elements interact with one another.  When playing Dragon Age, especially as an elven character, you've probably noticed the themes of racial conflict, clashing ideals between people who belong to the same minority, and division. With both of your hosts belonging to diasporas themselves, we decided to explore these aspects of the series through that lens. Pieces discussed include, but aren't limited to:
Dragon Age: OriginsDragon Age: Origins: Witch HuntDragon Age: Inquisition (What Pride Had Wrought, The Final Piece)

Thank you for tuning in, and we hope you enjoy your stay! Feel free to share your thoughts at our contact below.

In this episode we discuss whitewashing: the action of taking a character who has brown skin and/or features associated with people of color and changing their appearance to be a white character. 
You'll hear about different examples of this both in-game & in-fandom as well as why this subject is very important to be mindful of!
