Gods and godlings galore! A plethora of pagan powers are introduced in The Celestial Pantheon; twelve definitely gods and two maybe-kinda-sorta-nearly gods are all briefly described and discussed. From the Father of the Great Consociate, Gruvold to Gengolof the Great Scaletipper. From baker gods to bro gods.

We then take a deep dive into the highest reaches of society as we examine the Consociate Nobility. Their titles and duties and how the gamut from the very top down to those barely above the common-folk all fit into society.

Switching focus from the broad to the specific, we take a close look at just one family of Consociate nobles in Heliakon; the Khedia O’zeenasea. How position and the past have shaped them and how they, in turn, may shape the future.

Also Blood Farmers turn out to not be as nice as their name makes them sound.

Have a proper gander at some of the way our fantasy societies distribute and formulate propaganda and disinformation aimed at keeping their citizens in line and angry at someone else.

Marvel at the Society of Glass Vultures and their sneaky pursuit of distilled truth. Learn about the systems of education and art which propagate the philosophies of our imperial powers. Tremble at the oversize influence of the Bureau for the Propagation of Virtuous Principles!

We explore the changes the printing press and its publication of the very popular serzeyns are making to how news and ideas are distributed in Heliakon and beyond.

We completely forget to do the episode on propaganda as we discussed last episode...did we mention that some mythtakes might be made? After goofing around for probably a little too long, we eventually get to the Mythtakes at hand, beginning with an extended digression on the Undead of our world; The Winnowed.

After discussing the mechanism behind the magic we zoom in on the Zombie before studying the Skeleton and then worrying about the Wight.

The Southern half of Heliakon gets its' Districts Delineated and described before we leave the great city for the lands to the West and explore the unsettlingly vermilion Bloodwoods and visit the fascinating Frog Country while we're in the area.

Today we talk about the Gods. They're real in the world of Heliakon, and it is well known that great heroes of the age can one day ascend to those heavenly realms. But how exactly does that work, and what happens on the journey from Zero to Zeus? A conversational episode where we explore the metaphysical mechanics of divinity and more.

We talk about the realities of living in a partitioned city, touch on the use of wraithquartz by both sides of the conflict as well as how each faction feels about war which culminated in Heliakon's great partition.

There's something wrong the gnomes. Learn all about it and how to protect yourself from the scourge of the Gnome Plague. Also featuring Shatterfolk, crossbows and the dreams of small things and big things, young things and old... so very old... things.

Learn how Gnomes and Goblins are held together by dreams of different sorts. Learn why you should just 'trust the process' and why priests of Gruvold dislike crossbows.

As a fun little bonus, we ask each other a personal question each in Ready, Setting, Go!

Not THAT personal. We're not that kind of podcast.

We meet the Chods, the Hobbs and the Tomeworms as we take a deep dive into the Gangs of South Heliakon. But let's not forget the slippery and dangerous Butternut Boys! We celebrate Fettersval, Gruvolly and talk about the mournful day of Catacord. A bit of a theme today, and well worth tuning in for this extra-long, action-packed episode.

We also explore the many Districts of North Heliakon, get into the interesting world of finance with the Bank Building of Benson, Benson and Byrde and take a peek into the inner-workings of these economic powerhouses. And for a bit of light entertainment, we talk a bit about the very real, very competitive sport of Platterbone.

Today's episode explores the cutthroat world of a 'Lodge of Snakes', as well as the infamous 'Meatgrinder Lodge'. We talk about the secrets of magic, the methodologies and ways of various will-workers in our fantasy world and the linguistic sentence spells of the Vaesta. What does this mean for the continent of Delmarin and what toll do these magical paradigms take on the casters?

Likewise, we take a sneak-peek at the elusive Stygiad Council, their faceless goddess and a history of mystery stretching back to time immemorial. There is also the patriotic Heliadog. A deliciously scrumptious episode awaits.

We return to the glorious city of Heliakon and imagineer Orcs, but here we come to an impasse. Do we stay with the depressed and pessimistic orcs wrought by Chris or do we instead make a place in the world for Aaron's all-singing, all-dancing magical bard orcs? Listen to find out.

We learn about the famous Stratomaach Serfé Mirakore; Queen of the Golden River and her contributions during the great war which tore our city asunder. We define a God important both to Orcs and the Great Consociate Empire, talk about the military ranks of the Unfettered League and even have a small gander at the useful, but sticky Slime Amulets,

Once again recording from a (slightly clearer) fish tank.
