Ep 66 - One Step Closer (feat. David "Trials-of-the-Apocalypse" Easley as Ditri) 1:06:48

1M ago1:06:48

1:06:48

Leviathan Hunters and Line Bulls risk their lives against the supernatural so that the rest of the Imperium never have to. Despite this great service, society at large would rather keep them both out of sight with Leviathan Hunters being out to see for a third of the year. Perhaps for this reason, the general public holds a romantic idea of a sailo…

Ep 65 - Train Based Trauma (feat. David "Trials-of-the-Apocalypse" Easley) 1:09:49

3M ago1:09:49

1:09:49

Culture shock for roaming Line Bulls is not uncommon, as each locomotive can be run entirely differently than every other despite the existence of Imperial regulation and convention. But a certain Bull must serve on every train in the Railways fleet, and just when he thought he had the hang of it he is assigned to the Pride of Duskwall. Drix suppor…

Ep 64 - The Bashful Bull (feat. David Trials-of-the-Apocalypse) 52:57

4M ago52:57

52:57

The cities of the Imperium are cloaked in night at the best of times, and a darkened alleyway carries no special menace. But even Scoundrels dread to venture beneath the docks, close to the blackest Sea. It is here that the nervous Ditri must go to make ends meet. Later, Pippin puts Jean-Claude in his place. Drix lends a helping hand. Andrel spies …

Ep. 63 Part 2 - Layover: Once Tyr-moor with Feeling 1:00:41

7M ago1:00:41

1:00:41

This is the second part of the Layover in Tyrmoor, now split in two (as all Layovers will be from now on). The first half an hour is pretty emotional and there's an offhand mention of Crowl possessing someone to commit suicide at ~43:30 A cliff where the sky meets the land. Below it, a shore where the land meets the sea. A witch's ritual, where the…

Ep. 63 - Layover: For a Few Silver Tyr-Moor 57:53

9M ago57:53

57:53

The northernmost city of Severos is Tyrmoor, named in the fashion of Skovlan. Though Severosi do live in the highlands, many prefer the plains and common Imperial reckoning places the beginning of Skovlan at the lightning barrier of Tyrmoor. But for the Line Bulls of the Pride, the sight of the fourth Shattered Isle brings a nervous anticipation. P…

Ep. 62 - Ghosts Train (feat. Xan) 1:19:42

10M ago1:19:42

1:19:42

Life on the Ghost Lines is carried over the bones of the dead, and every train may one day become a coffin. Before Line Bulls, there were merely electrofields wrapping each train like a raincoat; and after the first hurricane the Ministry knew that something more was needed. Line Bulls fight and die, as necessary as the plasm pushing the locomotive…

Ep. 61 - Stampede Together (feat. Xan) 1:19:07

1y ago1:19:07

1:19:07

Indigo, Badge Name Brogan, is not the first Line Bull to suggest collaboration between Line Bulls for the betterment of them all. But the powerlessness felt by the Bulls is well reinforced and difficult to surmount alone. The Ministry of Preservation kills the very idea of Unionization before it can enter a Line Bull's mind, because once it is ther…

Ep. 60 - Friendship Coalition (feat. Xan) 1:07:55

1y ago1:07:55

1:07:55

A familiar scene plays out on an unfamiliar train. The whims of the noble Lord Glixterbury call for the Soaring Skovlander to stop in the middle of the deathlands, and as an unspoken rule the Imperial Railways should answer his call. But this train has a gang of Line Bulls that stampede together. Sometime later: Andrel confounds Georgie with an unk…
