Thank you for listening to Bards Atlas: Season Two.   The past few months we've spent working on this Season have allowed us to experiment with the Bards Atlas universe and with the podcast medium, in general, in new and exciting ways. There's a lot more to this story that we know can be achieved and a lot more to the universe that we've already fleshed out. However, positive developments in our own personal lives and careers require that we take a step back and reexamine the amount of time and resources we have at our disposal to give to this beloved project.   As of right now, we want to take this opportunity to establish a few things going forward.   Number one, though we have learned a great deal from our bi-weekly episodic release format, we've decided that it will be easier on us and on our schedules to release Season 3 in its entirety at the same time.   Number two, for this reason, we will not be scheduling or announcing the premiere date for Season Three for some time. This will allow us enough time to prepare the season while also allowing ample room for the developments of our personal lives to progress. It'll be safe to assume that we probably won't have an update on Bards for at least several months.   This being said, if you're listening to this podcast now, we would love to hear from you. It may be some time before we can properly make a new announcement about this show, but we are more than happy to interact with any of our listeners through direct one-on-one communication during this time. So, if you have any questions, ideas, theories, or suggestions about the show or potential episodes, or about the Bards Atlas universe, let us know! We may even have special unaired episodes ready to share with those of you who are eager for more content during the coming break.   Number three, there is a lot we can do with Fox and Eli. However, for the aforementioned personal developments that are coming up in our lives, we have decided that after our break is finished, Season 3 will conclude the current arc that Fox and Eli are experiencing. This is another reason we want to take an extended break -- we'd like to make sure we give ourselves the time to craft an ending of which we can be proud.    Without giving too much away, we have broad ambitions for Bards Atlas that will absolutely live on after Season 3 is completed. As of this moment, however, we have no concrete plans, so essentially what we're trying to say is that for all intents and purposes, Season 3 will be our ending. And we will do everything in our creative power to make it an ending worthwhile for all who have listened.   Whether you have been listening from the beginning or you've discovered us well after we started to take this break, we want to, again, extend the invitation for you to reach out to us. If you have an idea for a character, a world, a story, or a plot arc that you'd like to see happen, we'd love to hear from you. We are officially on hiatus, but our lines are still open.   Finally, we say it at the end of every episode. But sincerely, thank you so much for listening. It really means a lot.   ...   Music by AB Narain
