S05E03 - The Four Treasures: Otherworldly by AlloraLee
Eunora Dawn is just a child. She was born a noble in the kingdom of Maeve, with 5 siblings and a shy personality. At a glance, her life was meant to be rosy.
But, when Eunora unlocks the [System] on her 8th birthday, she gains more than she expected. Memories of her past life as a strong-willed and fulfilled woman flood her mind and all but overwrite her personality. Filled with existential dread and grief over losing her past loved ones, Eunora goes from an innocent child filled with hope for her family to someone who is just trying to keep herself afloat in a strange world that almost seems too awful to be true.
With her sudden change in personality, as two individuals become one within Eunora, she has to find something she cares about. Anything. As long as it gets her out of bed.
Eunora loved her life in the Before -and she’s not looking forward to growing up again. All Maeve has shown her is neglect and longing, and after living a life of privilege she’ll need to adjust.

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EACH NARRATIVE EPISODE FROM SEASON 4, IN ONE UNINTERRUPTED EPISODE. ENJOY!
Far East of the Sword Coast, the Shadovar and Uskevren have fallen. The Shadowstorm is no more. Sembia is fractured into city states. A mysterious hero rises from the ashes to usher in a new era of prosperity. Yet, there is still suffering. Cormyr and the wild elves of the Dalelands offer war on all sides. Earthmotes, madness, and shadow dragons plague the lands. These are the tales of the heroes who ended that suffering… 1491 DR The Year of Sembian Revival.
Customer Reviews
Looking forward to season 4
Picked up the podcast on a friends’s recommendation, and burnt through Seasons 1-3 in a matter of weeks. Really entertaining. I liked the way the D&D format made the deep dive into Tolkien lore accessible.
Looking forward to Sembia.
Great Adventures in the world of Tolkien/Forgotten Realms!
Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo.
I recently started listening after finding about some of the interviews Jared had with Neo-Elvish folk. The story is true to Tolkien’s Legendarium but squeezes through and makes a fun, epic adventure. The interviews with the players and community stars, etc. are very refreshing. I would recommend for any Tolkien and D&D fan.
Oloré! Anyone who likes the Forgotten Realms, Sembia, Cormyr, Erevis Cale, etc. Needs to treat themselves to this wonderful drama Longwinded One has put together for season 4.
Excellent LOTR/D&D podcast!
This is a great way to spend some time journeying through Middle Earth with a fun adventuring party and excellent storytelling! Great wok folks!
