Ta da!
This is my first time making anything like this, so it’s a bit rough. Pointers and feedback are appreciated.
Perhaps the hardest part was getting over the horror of hearing my own recorded voice played back.

Always get excited when one in our community puts out content like this!

It's lovely and well done. Perhaps you can invite DA fans to participate in future narratives; add their voices. One point though, I think the music can be toned down more. I feel that at times, it's drowning out some words.

I had high expectations, but this exceeds them beyond measure.
You NAILED every detail: script, narration, length, background graphics, backgrounds music, even the font selection and shadowing of character names. Everything is on point.
I loved the quotations. I mean, on paper, is sounds dumb to show text that you are going to read over anyway, but for some reason, the combination sets the quote apart as this shit is important, listen up!
Really outstanding. Well done!
My votes for next installment: either Meric Theirin, or somebody from Avvar history, like the pre-Andrastian life of Maferath, or possibly Avvar mythology around Korth vs. the Lady.

Got round to watching it, excellent work! You've earned yourself another sub.
I liked your voiceover style, it works really well for informative pieces like this. Good use of background images as well, and I liked seeing the map pop up at relevant points, as not all of us have memorized the layout of Thedas.
As for improvements, I'm no expert in video editing, but some of the quotes were a little tricky to read due to a lighter background; I wonder if using darker images for quotes would help?
Anyway, great job, and keep it up.

Very good and professional - your voice is clear and I like the text popping up with names and quotes. The artwork and maps compliment the narration.
I love the lore of Thedas and will happily listen in to your next episode. Would you mind if I advertise your work on another forum - that of the Dragon Age pen-and-paper RPG, published by Green Ronin?

You NAILED every detail: script, narration, length, background graphics, backgrounds music, even the font selection and shadowing of character names. Funny, I actually added that because I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to pronounce “Ser Forannan” and I thought “Whatever, I’ll just let people read the names” I think I might change the font to something a little less stylized for the large quotes, as I’ve received feedback that it can be a bit hard to read (especially the ‘d’s) I’m thinking I’ll go for a Ferelden theme for these videos first, so all of those are on my list. I thought I’d go for an overview of Alamarri history pre-Calenhad (Only briefly touching on Andraste, because that’s a whole other video) and the splintering into the Chasind, Avvar, and the Clayne next. Then get into more specific stories, like Dane and Hafter. Most of these stories will probably have fewer quotes than this one.

I think I’m going to try to see if I can add a background color block for the quotes (Although many of these stories don’t have as many quotes available as Calenhad’s)

I think I’m going to try to see if I can add a background color block for the quotes (Although many of these stories don’t have as many quotes available as Calenhad’s) How about adding a dark outline to the font to help it stand out? I don't know if that would look better than a background colour block. It's a minor niggle anyway, most of the text was perfectly legible.

Nice video. I already knew most of the story, but you delivered it in a clear and entertaining manner. Your voice had a very soothing tone; maybe too much so, since I was already tired from work . So are these videos just going to be informative, or will you add any analysis and/or commentary later?

The plan was for informational videos only, but there are some things I’d like to say about Calenhad and what I like about his story... Well, I’ll be busy for the next week or two so we’ll see.

I thought the video was excellent. You do have a good narrating voice and the detail was impressive with some lore I had either forgotten or never heard/read before. I was also unfamiliar with some of the pictures you used, although they clearly depicted Ferelden, so I applaud the amount of research you put into the video. I also loved your choice of music. I look forward to the next one.

Great video. I've learned a lot about Calenhad. I have to agree, you have a good narrating voice.

Oh no! I hope everything turns out okay. Did you make sure it's plugged in? Yup. A few times in the past week I’ve had the fans turn on really loud and the whole thing shut down. This time, it refused to turn on again. I’m going to take it apart and clean the components, it needs it and I’ve been meaning to rearrange some of the messy wiring anyway. If that doesn’t work, well, the last time something like this happened I had to replace my graphics card, which would suck
