On this week's episode, Shelby and Austin take a journey across the Waking Sea to Kirkwall to discuss the elven-associated and spider-like creature, the Varterral. We discuss all we know about this creature, including the myth of its creation. After the break, we take a journey into Ferelden to discuss a side character that we know quite a bit about–Donal Sutherland. Want to chime in on the conversation?
