S1E2 - The Duchess of Nightmares (Part Two)

The pirates of the Web have settled in to their new environment, but life is far from stable. A bridge catches fire and does not stop burning. Tensions between the Duchess and her Heiress build to a breaking point. First mate Bruce tries to keep the peace, but finds himself pulled in many directions. And the sinkhole beneath the Web beckons to crew to simply throw all their troubles away.

S1E7 - Yes And: An Aldovian Tragicomedy (Act One)

In the grand city of Aldovia, trouble is brewing. Street magicians Woccam and Toccam scheme and lie their way towards fame and fortune in the cut-throat world of improv magic, while the foolishly enthusiastic friends Jubble and Baum plan a sham wedding to commit... tax fraud? Oh, and did I mention that Woccam is a bird? And improv comedy grants diplomatic immunity? Just roll with it, trust me, it's all going to be juuust fine.

S1E8 - Yes And: An Aldovian Tragicomedy (Act Two)

Life in Aldovia is never peaceful, but today things will be truly chaotic. A Carefully planned wedding teeter on the edge of collapse. Street magicians turned assassins plan against a terrifying foe. Numerous laws, both human and avian, are egregiously broken.

The only forces that can prevent utter catastrophe amount to a gullible groundskeeper, an undead raven, and sheer, dumb luck.

S1E9 - The Tiger is OUT (Part One)

Far away from cities and empires, there is a place where a Moon hangs low in the sky. Ancient ruins hide secrets of peoples long past, tigers wander about powerful and inscrutable, and waterfalls hide yet more forgotten folks. It is here that the Namers have come, ambitious achievers unafraid of any challenge. Their settlement here may be temporary, but what they find here will could community forever.

S1E10 - The Tiger is OUT (Part Two)

The Namers have settled in a valley of immense history. Tigers wander to and fro, means and ends inscrutable and dangerous. Fungal "Shadow People" venture from their caverns and offer mutual aid, but live in fear of the sun. Strange mechanical beings tumble about, and some claim that they are living beings themselves.

Among all this, the Namers struggle and thrive, working to find safety, power, faith, and food in turn. But their ignorance of the cultures and histories around them could turn things foul all too easily.

S1E11 - The Arvine Account

In the beginning, there was nothing but the empty void of space. And then, in this void, 3 Gods appeared: Conflagrio, Oxx, and Amalgi. Each God was fickle, powerful, and flawed in their own way, but together they built what we now call The World Unknown. This is at least one account of how that world was made.

(Programming Note: We will be back next episode with the continuation of The Tiger is OUT. Consider this an intermission of sorts to break up that very long game.)
