Documents from the Library of Kennis

Standalone episode — no prior listening required. 

More than three generations ago, before Gulhuva descended into anarchy, its swordsmiths forged a weapon unlike those carried today.

Its shape reflected the order, warfare, and ideals of a country that no longer exists. Once recognised across Gulhuva, the sword has now all but disappeared, surviving only in old accounts, scattered relics, and fading memories.

In this episode, we look back at a weapon from Gulhuva’s lost past.

Journal Entry

Standalone episode — no prior listening required. 

A traveller’s journal entry from the outer reaches. Some places do not welcome the living, though they make no effort to turn them away. Ice of the Returned is such a place: a dwelling shaped as much by what has ended there as by those who still pass through its halls. To step inside is not merely to arrive, but to be measured against the silence left behind.
