June: The God of Craft | Featuring Special Guest Caitie aka Ghil Dirthalen Feb 01, 2024

Show notes

Today, the Cups are joined by a special guest that all devoted Dragon Age fans should know -- Caitie, also known as the voice behind and creator of the Ghil Dirthalen YouTube channel! You might also know her as one half of the Split the Veil podcast. Caitie joins us to discuss the most little-known elven god: June. He's so unknown that many of us don't even know how to pronounce his name. Listen now to find out all about this obscure member of the Evanuris, as well as some theorycrafting and shitposting from the three of us!

Check out the Ghil Dirthalen YouTube channel here.

Mythal: Goddess of Justice and the All-Mother Dec 14, 2023

Show notes

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.
