If I mention Reebok’s Pump shoes, I know only one image comes to mind: Dracula. Specifically, Dracula having the time of his life, on stairs.

This week we turn our attention to Scadu Altus, the region north of Castle Ensis which Messmer’s armies call their home. This region is less populated with notable landmarks than its non-shadow counterpart, but we end up finding something pretty important in the grisly fort where the Crusade executed those who failed it.

You know, I wasn't sure until this episode, but I think Walt is probably going to hell when he dies.

We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.
