    [BONUS EPISODE]: Concrete Egg

    Architect Corben Rhaims II built the Morphing Tower. “Nimrod beheld the ancient tower abandoned and was reminded of the Ruined Gods, overthrown by Marduk. In his heart, he was not ready to leave Shinar’s pride in such a state. Marduk approved of Nimrod’s great courage. So, in time he was led to Anzu’s divine nest, where the great eggs could be found to grow a city with blessings of Abzu and Mami. Water and earth mixed together, with blood to give it life.” Music:The Mangled-Rubidium Rings: https://rubidiumrings.bandcamp.com/track/the-mangled-2Reactor-Rubidium Rings & Janet Wallace: https://rubidiumrings.bandcamp.com/track/reactorTelepath- Rubidium Rings & Serbiey: https://rubidiumrings.bandcamp.com/track/telepath Thumbnail art is a collage of these photos: A tall building with a crane on top of it: https://unsplash.com/photos/a-tall-building-with-a-crane-on-top-of-it-19JJcOG75aUMan in black suit standing on white sand during daytime: https://unsplash.com/photos/man-in-black-suit-standing-on-white-sand-during-daytime-lhdcGJ6fiCo Watch other videos on my gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCafLDfqaVvA0LEErFZ1tfpA
