As we wind the Scars of Divinity series down,  we turn our eyes towards the theocracies which arise when the gods retreat from the material world. Among all the scars, these are perhaps the deepest and most affecting. ——— Website: thelorekeepers.comEmail: lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @thelorekeepersLorekeepers art by Sam Wade.Instagram: @bysamwade"Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.

In the long history of Sudar, there is perhaps no more overt example of the presence of gods than the Okraiot Shaval, the realms of the leyline spires and the seats of power for the Regents. What kind of impact did this have on the people? Their view of gods and royalty? ——— Website: thelorekeepers.comEmail: lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @thelorekeepersLorekeepers art by Sam Wade.Instagram: @bysamwade"Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.

What does it mean for mortals to ascend to godhood? Just how close do they get to the divine, and what do they do with that power? There's no question that the path to divinity is sought after, and the fallout that people would encounter carries heavy implications for cultural faith...The Free Elves and the Provident: S4.37 ——— Website: thelorekeepers.comEmail: lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @thelorekeepersLorekeepers art by Sam Wade.Instagram: @bysamwade"Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.

Long have we spoken of Osteos as the origin of slowly deteroriating foundations of reality. But how is Tiirs pushing this? What is he doing exactly, and how does it affect the rest of Halûme? ——— Website: thelorekeepers.comEmail: lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @thelorekeepersLorekeepers art by Sam Wade.Instagram: @bysamwade"Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.

In the long aevum of Halûme's history the conflict between the Etherium and the Absentium has taken many forms. It may be called a "war", but it is considered such only if one takes every use of the word into account. ——— Website: thelorekeepers.comEmail: lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @thelorekeepersLorekeepers art by Sam Wade.Instagram: @bysamwade"Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.

In our second installment of the new series, we imagine a situation where people are grateful that a Dawn arrives to destroy their city. What happens? Why would people be grateful? And why did the Dawn come around in the first place? ——— Website: thelorekeepers.comEmail: lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @thelorekeepersLorekeepers art by Sam Wade.Instagram: @bysamwade"Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.

New year, new look. In our first series of season 5, we kick things off by taking a good, long, zoomed-out look at the damage the gods can bring (but not just damage).To keep things fresh, we sprinkle in a tad of structure and end the episode with a clear idea of what episodes we're likely doing for this series.Enjoy! ——— Website: thelorekeepers.comEmail: lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @thelorekeepersLorekeepers art by Sam Wade.Instagram: @bysamwade"Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.

As we prepare for a year of series (a s-year-ies , one might say) we reflect on ideas new and old and decide on what our first subject will be. It's an episode chock full of different ideas! Which one will make the cut?

A new year, a new season. This week we depart a bit from our typical structure and zoom out, examining how we've got here, what we'd like to change, and what we've loved. ——— Website: thelorekeepers.comEmail: lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @thelorekeepersLorekeepers art by Sam Wade.Instagram: @bysamwade"Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.
