The History of the Avvar Tribes: Finally, A Healthy View of Magic | Welcome to Season 5!!

Welcome to Season 5!!! This season, we're going to be looking at major historical events, people groups, and wars that impact the cultural and political fabric of Thedas. We're beginning this week with a look at the Avvar tribes. The Avvar were one of the three tribes of the Alamarri, and they are their own entity now, living in the Fereldan Frostback mountain range. We dig into their history, beliefs, views on magic, influential Avvars, and much more. If you love our show, you can support us on Patreon!
