    Lack or Inability

    When I wrote the Hodos, or the Way of the Flame, there was a line that stood out to me. “Let none perish from lack or inability.” What did that mean? This story was written to explore that, and see how the Eluthanai care for each other.

    Harvest Ritual

    Eluthane celebrates their Harvest Ritual. Also in this episode we explore some queer themes in the setting.   Also I had to start using a new mic halfway though, so I apologize for the sudden audio change.

    Hodos: The Way of the Flame as given to Phlogos

    The Hodos was written to develop the Way of the Flame. It is written in the form of a pseudo religious text, not unlike the Bible. However, it is given as part of the Eluthanai liberation theology, and is direction for a sort of anarcho-communist way of life. As a side note, the title of this text, “Hodos” is a transliteration of the Greek ὁδός meaning, way or road.

    A Final Unity

    This story was written to examine how the Eluthanai shared their labor. As I wrote it though, it quickly evolved into a story about a clay harvest festival. Also while I wrote this story, I started using the song “Astral Ally,” from “Night in the Woods” as a theme song for Hiereus. The bittersweet celebratory mood of the song felt fitting for the story and for Hiereus’s character in general.

    Birth by Flame: An Eluthanai Ritual

    When I started writing this story I started with the question: why does my D&D cleric have medical proficiency? At the same time, I was working on the founding myth of the Eluthanai religion. These two ideas were eventually combined into the story presented here.
