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 know when we'll be back, but we can assure you it is a question of when, not if. Until then, don't worry. There are always more tales to tell. Goodbye! ——— Website: thelorekeepers.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @thelorekeepers Lorekeepers art by Sam Wade.

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.

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.
