    Nymphs, Malora & More!

    This month, we explore the mysterious Malora and Nymphs—what they are, how they differ, and how their influence shapes life across The Archipelago. We discuss how rarely they're encountered, why players may cross their paths more often, and what happens when their goals clash. From the limits and costs of their powers to the cultural lenses that define them, we examine their impact on politics, faith, and fate. Finally, we explain why some Kickstarter backers can create a Nymph or Malus, the boundaries that keep those creations lore-consistent, and how they'll become canon without disrupting the world's established history.

    Celebrating Julian

    Over the summer, we lost a true innovator and patriarch within the video game industry, Julian LeFay. With his daughter Shae, and close friend and colleague, Ted Perterson; we celebrate the man known as "The Father of The Elder Scrolls" looking back at his early life, career and his many, many passions that acted as vehicles for him to deeply explore and sate his need to understand the world around him.  This episode is a chance for fans of Julian's work to pull back a thick curtain of pixels to understand the mind behind games that challenged us to be brave, explore our world and hunger for knowledge lost to the ages.
