Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In this episode, Callaghan is finally dethroned as "darklord with the fewest lines of usable dialog" as we make a darklord out of...a bear. Not a werebear. Not a talking bear. Just a bear. But he's a bear who comes with a gothic curse and with FANTASY SCOTLAND, so it's well worth the effort of making him a darklord. Topics discussed include:

• Why Mor'du is going to want to throw down with your PCs even if they don't feed anyone a magic tart that turns them into a bear (although that would certainly help);
• All the world-building information about clans MacIntosh, MacGuffin, and Dingwall that Tom was able to glean or extrapolate from a deep dive into Brave's ancillary material;
• The canonical domain that works beautifully with DunBroch as the source of the invading force that temporarily united the clans (no, not Original Recipe Falkovnia);
• Strahd or bear;
• And more!
