Tales From the Archrym is a serialized fiction podcast of original fantasy stories set within the surreal worlds of the Archrym.

In this episode Rualve—High Archivist of the Grand Archivum in Ir Iliyt—introduces our tale for season one, "The Last Dance of Queen Tyntella."

When terror spreads through the kingdom, young Queen Tyntella does not raise an army... she raises a glass.

Rather than face the encroaching shadows, the young queen retreats to her island keep with her inner circle. Behind lifted bridges and fortified walls, they choose revelry over responsibility.

But walls alone cannot keep out the darkness growing within.

Lush, lyrical, and hauntingly symbolic, The Last Dance of Queen Tyntella is a gothic fairytale of dark beauty, mad decadence, and the ruin that waits for those who dance too long in the glow of their own illusions.
