1490 Doom - Lore Series Podcast

Annals of the Doomed: Book Five (Part One) “For Whom the Bells Toll”Written & Performed by Joel MengelMusic by Eric Michael RobertsonThrough choking fog that clings like grave soil to the lungs, two shadows flee. Job and Ophelia, hand in bleeding hand.Behind them the zealots come: rusted blades, stolen armor, eyes ablaze with sanctified madness.Father Radley, priest of the pyre, preaches mercy through torment and promises purification by flame for the witch, the sinner, the merely alive.Three fall in the ruined inn (throats opened, brains pierced, hearts stilled) yet the hunters will not be denied.Into the tainted mist the lovers plunge, masks clamped tight, leaping from shattered walls and racing toward the sound that has haunted their dreams for a year.A church bell, tolling steady and merciless across the corpse of England.A promise. A lure. Perhaps salvation.Or the final stake.🕯 Grimdark historical fiction in a collapsing world ⚔From the universe of the 1490 Doom tabletop game🎧 The fifth entry in a new series chronicling the testimonies of the doomedExplore the world at: https://1490doom.comJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/byS8wWP2pCFollow Joel Mengel:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuelneve?_t=Z...Blog: https://joelmengel.blogspot.com/?m=1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuelneve...

Annals of the Doomed: Book Four “Long Live the King”Written & Performed by Joel MengelMusic by Eric Michael RobertsonBeneath the vaulted stones of Westminster a hollow monarch rules his silent court.The air hangs thick with incense and decay and the creeping death seeps through every crack in the ancient walls.Upon a throne of bone and tarnished gold the mad king delivers his final decree to a congregation of corpses.His queen smiles in ruin his children sleep in their cradles of dust and his courtiers applaud with empty hands.The crown gleams faintly in the fog as the last light of England flickers and fades.🕯 Grimdark historical fiction in a collapsing world⚔ From the universe of the 1490 Doom tabletop game🎧 The fourth entry in a new series chronicling the testimonies of the doomedExplore the world at:https://1490doom.comJoin the Discord:https://discord.gg/byS8wWP2pCFollow Joel Mengel:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuelneve?_t=ZP-908ygiW9imN&_r=1Blog: https://joelmengel.blogspot.com/?m=1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuelneve/?igsh=MW1vOWExd3JyZml6NQ==&utm_source=qr

Annals of the Doomed: Book Three “Fight and Flight”Written & Performed by Joel MengelMusic by Eric Michael RobertsonFrom the shattered heights of a dying stronghold, a lone defender leaps into legend.Fifty five meters of freefall between life and death, a desperate act of faith, loyalty, and defiance against the creeping death that has swallowed the world whole.Inside the tower, fog cloaked intruders claw their way from madness, hunger, and ruin.Steel meets flesh, and for a brief moment, defiance becomes salvation.🕯 Grimdark historical fiction in a collapsing world⚔ From the universe of the 1490 Doom tabletop game🎧 The third entry in a new series chronicling the testimonies of the doomedExplore the world at:https://1490doom.comJoin the Discord:https://discord.gg/byS8wWP2pCFollow Joel Mengel:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuelneve?_t=ZP-908ygiW9imN&_r=1Blog: https://joelmengel.blogspot.com/?m=1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuelneve/?igsh=MW1vOWExd3JyZml6NQ==&utm_source=qr

Annals of the Doomed: Book Two – “The Cleansing Fire”Written & Performed by Joel MengelMusic by Eric Michael RobertsonThe smoke clings to skin and soul alike.In the ashes of the courtyard, Father Radley waits, convinced that each fire purges not only flesh, but the creeping death itself.One by one, he names the heretics. One by one, he delivers them to the flame.But as the last embers die, he knows there is still one more soul left to burn.🕯 Grimdark historical fiction in a collapsing world⚔ From the universe of the 1490 Doom tabletop game🎧 The second entry in a new series chronicling the testimonies of the doomedExplore the world at https://1490doom.comJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/byS8wWP2pCFollow Joel Mengel:https://www.tiktok.com/@fuelneve?_t=ZP-908ygiW9imN&_r=1https://joelmengel.blogspot.com/?m=1https://www.instagram.com/thefuelneve/?igsh=MW1vOWExd3JyZml6NQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Annals of the Doomed: Book One – “I Ring the Bells”Written & Performed by Joel MengelMusic by Eric Michael RobertsonThe bells echo across a dead and silent land.No beasts roam. No birds sing.

The river dried to nothing.Northward they went, through dust and silence, chasing whispers of home.But some tides cannot be outrun.Some tides are not made of water.In the shadow of Valladolid the weight of a dying world comes to bear and one man learns what it means to drown where no river runs.Narrated by @malev_minis🕯 Grimdark historical fiction set in a collapsing world⚔ Based on the 1490 Doom tabletop universe🎧 New episodes drop weeklyExplore the world at https://1490doom.comJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/AMGNSXXD

The sky is pitiless. The soil is sick.Mateo and Baltasar follow the river north, through lands stripped bare by famine, fear, and flight. Towns stand hollow. Roads are choked with the remnants of those who came before—abandoned wagons, scattered shoes, warm fires with no one around them.When they finally see the migration with their own eyes, it’s worse than they imagined: a silent procession under guard, heading nowhere, chased by hunger and rot.Whispers of cities in chaos. Gates locked. Cults forming. Rain that carries death.And still, they press on.Northward. Always north.Narrated by @malev_minis🕯 Grimdark historical fiction set in a dying world⚔ Based on the 1490 Doom tabletop universe🎧 New episodes drop weeklyFull campaign and game here: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/buer-games/1490-doomJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/gWuWvPh6

The coast is not what they remembered.Mateo and Baltasar step ashore only to find Spain hollowed by hunger, disease, and silence. Smoke rises from empty farms. Bells ring where no hands remain to pull the rope.They follow whispers of sanctuary northward—through villages stripped bare, past monks speaking of Seville’s fall, and into forests where something watches.The Creeping Death has come home.And it is changing everything.Narrated by @malev_minis🕯 Grimdark historical fiction set in a dying world⚔ Based on the 1490 Doom tabletop universe🎧 New episodes drop weeklyFull campaign and game here: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/buer-games/1490-doomJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/gWuWvPh6

Adrift on poisoned waters, hunted by the dead, and haunted by what remains of their own souls...Mateo and Baltasar flee the burning ruins of Madeira aboard the crippled San Telmo. But the sea offers no refuge.Becalmed under a rotting sky, they face something worse than storms—a floating fortress of the damned, stitched together from shipwrecks and filled with hollow-eyed horrors.One shot.One bow.One final stand between salvation and the sea's black hunger.But even if they survive, what’s left of the world they once called home?Narrated by @malev_minis🕯 Grimdark historical fiction set in a dying world⚔ Based on the 1490 Doom tabletop universe🎧 New episodes drop weeklyFull campaign and game here: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/buer-games/1490-doomJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/sBw6WeFn

Trapped on a dying island and hunted like beasts, Mateo leads a desperate prison break beneath the rotting manor of Madeira. At its heart waits Baltasar, a chained cannon-bearer with one shot left and a soul not yet spent.What follows is a sprint through fire and blood as loyalties are tested, lives are lost, and a crippled cutter called the San Telmo becomes the last hope of escape.But the sea has changed.
