The War of the Lions: Orlesian Civil War

In this week's episode, the Cups talk about a war that we as the players and the Inquisition help end – the War of the Lions. You may have also heard this referred to as the Orlesian Civil War. But it's not really, fully a civil war as fighting doesn't break out amongst all of the people of Orlais. This war is a war about succession and rulership of the country of Orlais. Today, we discuss how it all started, what happened, and how it ended.
