As we wrap up the series, we ask the question: was it any good? We think... perhaps? In the final episode before an undetermined hiatus, the Lorekeepers review their second series, drawing all the elements together. And that's a wrap! Thank you all so much for listening to our creative worldbuilding endeavor. It's been a powerful experience to share this, week in and out with all of you. And while there's no way that it's over, we will be taking a hiatus from releases. At this time we don't...

Animals, monsters, beasts, whatever you call them, monsters hunt them. The resourceful use them for something, but what?  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade. Instagram: @bysamwade "Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.  

What kinds of things are plants used for in Halûme?  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade. Instagram: @bysamwade "Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker. 

Halûmians tend to shape reality as much as it shapes them. When they stop to ask where it all comes from and what are the smallest building blocks of existence, what do they find? This week we investigate that. ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

This week we explore the world of (non-)magical alloy, and examine mithril in particular. Is it an alloy, or a process? Well, the answer is kindof both.

We come around again to the subject of Ashglaze. We have a rough idea of what it is and where, but how does it get used, and by whom?  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

This week we ask a simple question with complicated implications: if it can be made into a material all by itself, what is magic, exactly? Can it exist on its own? If so, what's that like?  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade. Instagram: @bysamwade "Land of Heroes" theme by Josh Silker.

It's less formal this week, we just jump right in and start stripping ideas from other worlds. This week we explore elements and materials which others have come up with, and how we might use their ideas to inspire our own  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

There are many materials we've discussed before, but we've never talked about them in relation to each other. This episode we re-examine the materials we've already formed and examine how they may interact or be otherwise modified.  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

A new series, a new fixation. We've set our sights on the curious and strange materials which can show up in fantasy. What do we see in Halûme specifically? This week we lay out the parameters of the new series and prepare for a dive into the function of form.  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

We round up the Scars of Divinity series by pulling all the episodes together (and seasoning some new ideas in there) before deciding where we'll go next.  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

As we wind the Scars of Divinity series down,  we turn our eyes towards the theocracies which arise when the gods retreat from the material world. Among all the scars, these are perhaps the deepest and most affecting.  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

In the long history of Sudar, there is perhaps no more overt example of the presence of gods than the Okraiot Shaval, the realms of the leyline spires and the seats of power for the Regents. What kind of impact did this have on the people? Their view of gods and royalty?  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

What does it mean for mortals to ascend to godhood? Just how close do they get to the divine, and what do they do with that power? There's no question that the path to divinity is sought after, and the fallout that people would encounter carries heavy implications for cultural faith...

Long have we spoken of Osteos as the origin of slowly deteroriating foundations of reality. But how is Tiirs pushing this? What is he doing exactly, and how does it affect the rest of Halûme?  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

In the long aevum of Halûme's history the conflict between the Etherium and the Absentium has taken many forms. It may be called a "war", but it is considered such only if one takes every use of the word into account. ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

In our second installment of the new series, we imagine a situation where people are grateful that a Dawn arrives to destroy their city. What happens? Why would people be grateful? And why did the Dawn come around in the first place?  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

New year, new look. In our first series of season 5, we kick things off by taking a good, long, zoomed-out look at the damage the gods can bring (but not just damage). To keep things fresh, we sprinkle in a tad of structure and end the episode with a clear idea of what episodes we're likely doing for this series.

As we prepare for a year of series (a s-year-ies , one might say) we reflect on ideas new and old and decide on what our first subject will be. It's an episode chock full of different ideas! Which one will make the cut?

A new year, a new season. This week we depart a bit from our typical structure and zoom out, examining how we've got here, what we'd like to change, and what we've loved.  ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

This week we return to the moon-sisters and the afterlife from the perspective of ghosts. There's a lot thrown in here about quantum field theory, but it actually helps everything make more sense!

When is an amble not an amble? When going through the "just 10 minutes" of lore backgrounding becomes the entire episode. It's been quite a while since the last one of these! And yet... Well, I won't say it wasn't a good conversation! We discuss the Provident and the history surrounding them during Aevum Tertius.  ——— Curious about something you heard in this episode?

And that's a wrap(-up)! We've concluded our exploration into the Mutes of the Absentium for now, and take a look over our work. What conclusions can we make? How do they interact with each other? What does this tell us about the Absentium, and their relationships?  ——— Curious about something you heard in this episode?
