Description
The world's first real-time fantasy podcast. The Nanten is a jungle so hostile that to enter it willingly is considered suicide. Marceles does not enter it willingly - he does so in exile, ordered to find the man he hates most in the world if he wishes to redeem himself. Brin Salisir was exiled to the Nanten twenty years before him to uncover rumors of a dark cult growing in the heart of the fallen Nanten Kingdom. This is Marceles' journal. New entries daily.

I’ve finished debating what to do. I suppose my sense of duty rendered it a moot discussion in the end. I came here as I was bid and helped unseat the Daedric Society that I found. I’ve rooted out what notable threats remained. Now that I know there’s some conspiracy back home that threatens the […]

If we stay here, we will live out lives of limited usefulness. But that usefulness will help lay the foundations of a new kingdom, one that could rise again to prominence and bring stability to a region that has been in tumult for a hundred years. Having such an effect would be well worth the […]

Dionus believes we should go. He doesn’t want to stay in Matasten and I fear that if I don’t acquiesce, he may be tempted to leave me behind. Losing both Dionus and Inifra at once would be devastating. Timber and I have resumed our daily exercises, now with Dionus joining us occasionally. She finally appears […]

The sun shines in Matasten in a way that I never thought I would see in the Nanten. The trees are sparse throughout the city, even as replanting efforts begin throughout. It glistens off the cleansed palace and plays along veins of jade and ebony strewn across the rooftops of the city. There is more […]

Inifra has decided to return to Hamada. She’s arranged for a contingent of her priestesses to meet her there. She will come back to Matasten in a year to commemorate the opening of a temple to Infiri that is being planned. Her duty is to all Infiri’s faithful, she said, and though it seems prudent […]

Salisir finally caught me alone. I hadn’t seen him for the last few days and then suddenly, in the corridor leading through the western wing of the main palace hall, he found and pulled me aside. “I hate the Tetrarch,” was how he started. “I hate them through and through for what they did to […]

Inifra wants to go west but she also needs to leave a representative in Matasten. Perhaps ‘needs’ is the wrong word for it, but she would like to. There is a growing contingent of the faithful here who have begun construction on a shrine to Infiri on the western shore of the island. When they’re […]

Our ceremony last night was filled with surprises. Hembila found a number of small treasures that he had recast into chains that he bestowed upon each of us. They’re filled with the finest sapphires I think I have ever seen and linked with a gold that must be as pure. Each is worth a small […]

Inifra came to me after the celebrations died down last night. She appeared at my door shortly after I put my journal away and asked to be let in. It was the first time we’d ever been truly alone like that, my chamber the most private space I’ve had since leaving Sterling. It was the […]

The throne room was arrayed spectacularly for Hembila’s coronation. Flowering vines were brought in from across the river and hung to make a beautiful set of eves. Inifra drew water through old fountains and Dionus cleared the musty scent with a slow but steady breeze. There were flowers everywhere, including some of the kind that […]

Dionus does know some nasty tricks with short blades. It makes sense, considering that he carries two on his hips at all times. It’s the close work that’s the most sure, he said, the bloody work. We used some wooden handles we found in a pile of broken wood instead of real blades, which was […]

It strikes me now that we’ve done it. I was sitting here staring at this page for an hour without the faintest idea of what to write, then it hit me. We’ve unseated the Daedric Prince who would be Arbor King, and have destroyed his society in the process. There are remnants left, I’m sure, […]

The pyres for Fodafa and Nianatara burned brilliantly, their combined heat threatening to set the buildings nearest them alight. It’s for that very reason that such ceremonies are reserved for the nobility of the Nanten. The risk of burning the whole jungle down isn’t one they’ve overlooked. Hembila and Timber were the ones to set […]

There are long rows of cages underground, some under the palace itself and the rest spread across the northern reach of the city. Perhaps this is why the Daedra fought to keep us from entering the city from the north. They were filled with anyone who had a touch on the Atmosphere. I could see […]

Dionus took Salisir to the top of one of the spires here in Matasten. He did it this morning, before dawn. I know only because he told me this afternoon, about the temptation to throw the old man over the edge. To watch him fall, helpless to the mechanics of the world as his victims […]

I finally know Salisir’s plan in full, but the results remain up to me. I am paralyzed tonight, unable to act for fear of the cascading effect any retribution might enact. Dionus, Inifra, and I found Salisir in one of the palace wings where he has set himself up to work. We waited for the […]

Salisir, that bastard. I don’t know what to do now. I saw his messenger, Golara, the snake from when we first met the Batsu. I don’t know how I missed it, but he had blue lining the nape of his neck. Just a scrape of it, deep like a stain. Then I remembered the blue […]

Fodafa is dead. So are Oroun, Nianatara, and a distressingly large number of their top officials. Salisir and Hembila finally joined us today, both of them lightly injured, and it was with them that the bad news was brought. Hembila immediately set to preparations for the ceremonies that must take place to mourn the dead, […]

Inifra is alive. She was knocked into the palace grounds, leaving her in bad shape but better off than Dionus or me. The palace was not empty, and she found herself instantly engaged in a fight with the guards. That fight led to another just outside the walls, where she was joined by a few […]

I can’t find Inifra. I don’t know where else to look, but I can’t find her. She can’t be dead. The combined Yatusu and Sondu force took the bridge and then hammered down the gates of Matasten. They flooded over the river in an armada of canoes and barges, sweeping the jungle and taking the […]
