Have a proper gander at some of the way our fantasy societies distribute and formulate propaganda and disinformation aimed at keeping their citizens in line and angry at someone else.

Marvel at the Society of Glass Vultures and their sneaky pursuit of distilled truth. Learn about the systems of education and art which propagate the philosophies of our imperial powers. Tremble at the oversize influence of the Bureau for the Propagation of Virtuous Principles!

We explore the changes the printing press and its publication of the very popular serzeyns are making to how news and ideas are distributed in Heliakon and beyond.

We completely forget to do the episode on propaganda as we discussed last episode...did we mention that some mythtakes might be made? After goofing around for probably a little too long, we eventually get to the Mythtakes at hand, beginning with an extended digression on the Undead of our world; The Winnowed.

After discussing the mechanism behind the magic we zoom in on the Zombie before studying the Skeleton and then worrying about the Wight.

The Southern half of Heliakon gets its' Districts Delineated and described before we leave the great city for the lands to the West and explore the unsettlingly vermilion Bloodwoods and visit the fascinating Frog Country while we're in the area.

Today we talk about the Gods. They're real in the world of Heliakon, and it is well known that great heroes of the age can one day ascend to those heavenly realms. But how exactly does that work, and what happens on the journey from Zero to Zeus? A conversational episode where we explore the metaphysical mechanics of divinity and more.

We talk about the realities of living in a partitioned city, touch on the use of wraithquartz by both sides of the conflict as well as how each faction feels about war which culminated in Heliakon's great partition.
