Inkwell Haven

INKWELL HAVEN This isn’t just an episode for you to enjoy on Halloween while you’re watching scary movies, trick-or-treating, or running from an ax murder in a haunted house.

This is TEN SHOWS all bringing their heavy hitters to bear. Starting October 1st and running every three days until the 31st, you will get a new episode from a different show. These are shows some of you are probably already familiar with, and if not, then you will. The Shows: The Grotto, Morbid Forest, Audistorium, Soul Operator, Mortis Maledictum, Syntax, It’s All In The Cards, The Liminal Lands, Do You Copy, and Ethics Town.

This special is an all-new story in an all-new setting around the town of Haven. Something isn’t quite right in this town, and a bus full of tourists are about to find out all about it. Each episode will follow a group of influencers as they get off the bus and explore a different setting in the town. As you listen to each episode, more of the story behind the town of Haven will unfold.

The episodes will be released on a rotating basis with each show releasing their own last, on Halloween. That means if you want to hear the whole thing on day 1, there will be a different episode on each participating show’s feed. Otherwise, the episodes will be released every three days. Stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled as we’ll release more information and possibly a few teasers as we get closer.

I hope you enjoy this massive Halloween special we’ve put together. Don’t get lost in the dark, valiants.

The Forgotten King

The world of Elderon is on the brink of collapse. Chaos spreads through the realm, fueled by whispers of shadow riders with a dark purpose and the resurgence of The Turned – an army of once-human souls twisted into something mindless and monstrous.
As King Gael Arron battles to unite his fractured land, his every move is shadowed by old rivalries and unseen enemies. Growing unrest and unspeakable betrayals begin to tear his family apart, putting a heavy burden on his teenage sons, Quintus and Produs. But it is his daughter Kyla – a bold but impulsive princess – that may have the power to change the course of history.

Far from the throne, in the quiet corners of the realm, a simple farm boy stumbles upon a long-buried secret about LifeSpark, an ancient magic force that could either save Elderon… or destroy it.

The fate of The Second Age of Elderon hangs in the balance as old alliances crack, new heroes rise, and dark forces creep into the light.
