Hallowtide

On the continent of Korvast, the Castaways constantly drift from one location to another, driven by an invisible pull that draws them together even as it keeps them from ever settling for long. The only community the Castaway know are their caravans, the chosen families who grant each other companionship and some manner of safety on the often dangerous roads they are compelled to travel. Among these many convoys, there is one group that must travel their path alone: the mysterious and misunderstood Black Caravan tasked with mass graves, crypts, and mausoleums and crewed by those not long for this world.Tonight we peel back a layer of this mystique to reveal the origin of the Unbinding Spear. The Storyteller’s Spear was written by Christopher Bunge and performed by Ben TurleyBe sure to follow and support the show at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086569516381https://www.patreon.com/thedarkmeandersAlso be sure to support our cast by checking outhttps://www.twitch.tv/permotriassichttp://frankhorror.com/

Extract from the larger works of famed monster hunter and occult researcher, Heinrich Valbrand. While the man himself may be lost, generations of slayers have been saved time and again by the wisdom contained within his writings. This particular manuscript pertains to the living statues known as gaunts; addressing their varieties, construction, and weaknesses in an effort to aid would-be hunters.  We are releasing the first episode of Valbrand's Guide on the podcast but future releases will be Patreon exclusives.
