CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of death, loss, and the afterlife, existential dread, low rumbling sound effects, and some disturbing imagery.

Helping Grael locate a bottle of wine down in the inn's cellar, the Traveler stumbles upon a door in the wall... A door that opens into a hellish cavern below the inn. Clearly shaken, Grael tells them the story of a spirit's passage through the underworld of the Echowood, and what they found at the end of that journey.

Starring Sam Taylor as Grael, with original music by Jesse Haugen. Written and produced by Wray Van Winkle, and made possible by our supporters on Kickstarter, Patreon.com/homesteadcorner, and ko-fi.com/homesteadcorner. Executive produced by Axel Allcock.
