Lorekeepers - A Worldbuilding Podcast

"If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath."
-Amit Ray

To have mastery over the self, unity of the soul and the body... what incredible power! This week we explore monks and ki, (thankfully) discovering that the mystic power is not yet another power to keep track of, yet profound all the same! Enjoy.

"What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you!"
-Dracula, Castlevania: Sypmhony of the Night

Part three of the record-stravaganza, and we're feeling the burn. Instead of giving out like an old sofa, we decide to gracefully relax instead into... blood magic addiction. Anyways, enjoy!

“I saw that animals were important. I saw that plants were even more important. I was also to learn that... we weren't important at all except for the damage we do. We do not rule the natural world, despite our conspicuous position in it.”
- Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

Sometimes what you need is a big fun list of new ideas, so this week that's what we've got! We take a gentle diversion into the strange and unique flora of Halûme, complete with mushroom trees, bark that can make talking dogs, and saps used for field triage. Enjoy!

"Chess is life in miniature. Chess is a struggle, chess battles."
-Garry Kasparov

Well, it's not chess. Nor is it dragonchess. But it is chess-like

The cultures of Halûme surely enjoy the diversion of a mental joust now and again, no? They, like us, if they are indeed like us, must enjoy some battle of wits. This week, we imagine what Vagi, the game of strategists, kings, and retired seniors would likely be like. Enjoy!

"Why's it got so many colors in it, man? What is this?"
"That's the thing. They say you can see the whole universe in opals."
- Kevin Garnett and Howard Ratner, Uncut Gems

The primal powers of the cosmos are never quenched. When they coalesce into a singular prism they take on peculiar qualities that make them heavily sought after in the Materium. This week, Carter brings the heat (and the wet, and the weight) with elemental gems!

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."
-John Ruskin

This week we explore a very unique but oft-overlooked aspect of life in Halûme: the magesphere. Every day, mortal lives are inundated by the flowing of the Nine Abstracts all about them. Finally we start to give the magesphere its due!

“When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools.”
- King Solomon, Ecclesiastes

The Vowsworn. A selection of individuals who are called on by the gods to accomplish the impossible. Driven by their vision beyond mortal ability. What a fun idea to play with!

"...for ere the fall of Nargothrond or Gondolin I passed over the mountains, and together through the ages of the world we have fought the long defeat.”
- Lady Galadriel, The Fellowship of the Ring

This week we continue our conversation about the history of Aevum Tertius on the macro scale by considering this: what have the other ancestries been up to during all this time? We consider this while dodging and weaving station troubles and canceled contracts, ultimately discovering some pretty neat things!
