Tiding 01: A Songless Dawn

These Flimsy Rituals

"I kept a record of every day, overwrote each one the next. Not the normal practice, but the days all seemed like one: a heavy pause, a stutter. I replaced all of our yesterday's like I could erase this endless hesitation, as though the village wasn't there at all." - Belka The first play episode of Tiding - a story of a community doing their best to survive in indifferent landscapes. Two weeks ago the people of Ninut fled their homes to avoid a deadly storm, following the mysterious Parish to Etrys. There they wait, hoping for more stragglers to follow them. Challa uncovers a strange secret in the basements below Etrys, Bris meets a familiar stranger, Venz searches for flinthooks and Belka discovers stew. After a dire warning is shared, the people of Ninut face a difficult decision. Hosted by Adam Dixon (@adtidixon).
