S1.07 - The One About the Superfan
This week on Lorekeepers we roll the ol' bones and randomly decide on a god to explore. Who is Exaban? How do they interact with their followers? And what makes them a big big nerd?

S1.06 - Writ in Ink or Crystal or Blood
This week the lorekeepers turn their focus towards the written word. How literate is the average folk? What is a library like? Is information shared freely or guarded jealously? We dive into these questions and more. By the time this is uploaded you may have noticed that we've changed the Lorekeepers artwork slightly. Let us know what you think of it! And finally, we are currently focused on getting our site up and running, and we'll let you know the moment that it's live. Until then, there are always more stories to tell! Questions or ideas?

S1.05 - Elves: Many Bloods, One Origin
This week's episode is all about elves: high elves, aquatic elves, sanguine elves, tough elves, sissy elves, elves who climb on rocks... we explore the depth of their histories and settle our focus on the anchor point of Aevum Quintus. Carter drops some mad worldbuilding in the latter half, so if you've got questions about where slyph (half-elves) come into the picture, he'll tell you all about it. Speaking of, all credit to the musical scoring goes to Josh Silker, who also wrote Land of Heroes our opening song. We've gotten some questions about the WorldAnvil website, and we are happy to tell you that it is on its way! There is a substantial amount of content to migrate from a thousand different hastily-scribbled notes, so it will be a little while yet before we will be ready to release. Until then, there are always more stories to tell! Questions or ideas? Email us at lorekeeperspodcast@gmail.com Website: thelorekeepers.com Twitter: @thelorekeepers

S1.04 - How the Nine Flows
This week we take a break from the histories and dive into a rundown on the nature of magic. Talking points: the Abstracts, glossolails, weavers, conductors and binders, divine progeny, and the Tongue of Creation. We hope that this episode helps illuminate (or doubly confuse) you about the nature of Magic in Hâlume. We also wanted to let you know we're in the process of migrating the lore to WorldAnvil, where it can be viewed by all. We'll announce it in the coming weeks. Until then, enjoy! Questions or ideas?

S1.03 - Of Gnomes and Angels
As we reach the end of Aevum Secunda, two figures and a strange city rise to prominence, changing the future forever. But who are they? With our third installment in our exploration of the Time Between Thought, we take one last look at the barren wastes of Sudar before it changes irrevocably. As always, Enjoy! Questions or ideas?

S1.02 - Drakenfall and the Sanguine Empire
There is no question that the Ashcurse defined history's path forever. But what about the poor souls living directly in its wake? We've got a double focus this week as we explore the tenuous relationship between elves and humans, then investigate the troubles caused by dragons. Things do not go like anyone would hope. So enjoy!
