Ruin's Gate 25: Tools of the Trade, part 2
Manage episode 394279956 series 1851506
The truth is, most of us don’t want to know anything more about hellstone than what we already do—that it’s dangerous, and that it’s valuable. Whether or not you believe that ignorance is bliss, you can’t rightly deny that there’s something unfathomable happening with the stuff, be it at the atomic level or the ontological. There’s a reason the first settlers, the first specters, dug it up out of the earth and called it “hellstone.” Whatever they saw, whatever they found, whatever it did to them in those early days before we learned how to refine it, how to handle it, how to protect ourselves from it, it was closer to “hell” than what they’d fled on earth, close enough to warrant the name.
This week, on Ruin’s Gate: Man made horrors beyond your comprehension.
