Get rid of the interdimensional creatures terrorizing this site, and the data sphere voice known as Entrav can give some assistance.

    September 15th, 2024  |  32 mins 20 secs

    The interior of the Blade Interstice is confusing at best. Having a rough map of the area is helpful for sure, but that doesn’t stop the things found between the walls any less perplexing.

Join us as Nehemiah, Smalren, and Jhori continue searching.

They weren’t able to get much information about this place other than the existence of strange structures and very thin, dangerous creatures.

  • Episode 124: Anamnesis: Gtharren

    August 4th, 2024  |  42 mins 28 secs

    Gtharren is not quite what everyone expected. Not quite big enough to be a town and far more transient than most places they’ve visited.
