[Christmas Special] The Festival of Elftide Dec 10, 2022

Show notes

Every year on the winter solstice, a ritual is conducted at an ancient monument to ward off evil spirits. Although the denizens of Celdrúin enjoy feasts and celebrations from within the safety of their walls, travelers unfortunate enough to find themselves on the road during the solstice find themselves contending with more than just the freezing cold...

Silver Sails Nov 12, 2022

Show notes

Tales of ghost ships abound throughout the coastal villages of southern Celdrúin. If you sailed along the archipelago to the island's south, you would likely hear myths of damned sailors ferrying the dead to the afterlife, while the northern isles in the chain tell equally impossible tails of elven ships. However, sometimes events transpire that lend a certain credibility to the legends - or at least muddy the waters, making it difficult to discern reality from fantasy.

It may only be superstition... but then again, who would be foolish enough to risk their life to discover out the truth?

Down By The River Nov 21, 2021

Show notes

Across the world, fairy tales have emerged to teach children and adults alike about the dangers inherent in large bodies of water. They often feature shapeshifting spirits, some taking the form of animals and other adopting the likeness of a human. Sometimes, however, folklore crosses from the realm of fantasy into reality - and sometimes the threat it poses is not quite what it seems.

[Halloween Special] Crossing's Eve Oct 31, 2021

Show notes

The end of fall marks a transition between the warmth of summer and the bleak chill of winter. The festival of Crossing's Eve marks that transition with revelry, ceremonies, and rituals. It's said that, on the night of the festival, the spirits of the deceased can cross back into the world of the living - even if only for one night.

The Lonely Hall Oct 24, 2021

Show notes

The Kjalti believe that dying with an oath unfulfilled, a promise broken, or dishonor upon one's self has consequences. The dead may return to the land of the living as a revenant, cursed to wander the earth and serve penance for their actions.
