S1E12 - The Tiger is OUT (Part Three)

Summer turns to autumn, and life among the Namers goes on. Some long-standing questions are answered, but only leave even more unknowns in their wake. Many people feel restless, fueling obsessive projects in religion, in academics, and in moon-wrangling. Tragedy looms on the horizon, and not every leader will live through the year. Will the Namers remain a stable community?

S1E13 - The Tiger is OUT (Part Four)

The first snows fall in the valley the Namers have called home, and they face one final question. Should they leave this place, continue their nomadic, overachieving lives? Or should they stay, celebrate what they have built, and face whatever ghosts they have unearthed?

Either way, the Frost Shepherds will be upon them soon enough.

S1E14 - The God Unchained (Part One)

Millennia after they created the World Unknown, Conflagrio still slumbers at the world's core. Betrayed and bound, they have waited impatiently for their faithful followers to grow, strengthen, and one day free them. That day has come at last. There are four of them, each as strange and different as can be. Each prepared to give their life for a glimpse of their God of Fire and Foundations, the Progenitor of the Demigods, The Chained God.

The four chosen pilgrims continue their journey to free Conflagrio, who waits impatiently below. Yet the sacrifices asked continue to grow, as well as a fear- Just what sort of damage could the chained go do if they are freed?

S1E16 - The Midnight Throne (Part One)

200 years ago, the Knight of Eaves took up arms and drove a god from the sun, ending the disastrous Sunlit Century and returning the cycle of day and night. Peace did not follow quickly, but was strenuously rebuilt under their rule from the newfound Midnight Throne. Now they are gone, leaving only an egg as a potential successor. The other powers see this weakness, and they know that they must strike soon to claim the Throne for themselves. The Duchess of Nightmares schemes for it, the Cursed Sword raise their armies, the Tigers skulk and prowl at the edges. The hard-fought peacetime is at last coming to an end.

S1E18 - A Genealogy of Vayu

Thousands of years ago, when the gods still walked the World Unknown freely, a bird named Vayu came to be. They lived a life of adventure and heroism, founded the city of Aldovia and became the most famous bird in perhaps all of history. This is not her story; this is the story of how she came to be.

S1E19 - The Midnight Throne (Part Three)

Sabres have been rattled, bold and heretical claims have been made, and all the great houses of Banteave are readying to claim the throne. The Duchess of Nightmares raids in the north, while the Cursed Sword squabble over leadership and grudges. The Midnight Throne itself aims to find the allegiance of the Tigers of Antyre, who themselves seem almost bemused by the power struggle. All this jockeying will come to a head soon enough. The question is, what will be the spark that sends them hurdling towards war?

S1E20 - The Midnight Throne (Part Four)

War has come to Banteave. The Cursed Sword and the Midnight Throne lash out with trained soldiers, as well as less conventional weapons. The Duchess and the Tigers of Antyre watch anxiously from the sidelines, full aware that risking intervention could be the deciding factor of the conflict. The day of coronation approaches, yet who will hold the crown is still far from clear.
