In Dragon Age: Origins, we are thrown into the world of Thedas and introduced to the Chantry and the Maker. Most of the humans throughout Thedas worship the Maker and participate in the Chantry, even marginally. Most of Thedas's nations proclaim official allegiance to the religion as well.

But who IS the Maker? What did He do exactly? Why did He create humans? Did He create other races too? Or did Andraste just make him up? We unpack these questions and more in this episode.

We also talk about a multitude of fan theories about the Maker and discover who Divine Justinia I is and was.
