Enter a World of Fantasy (The Call of the Flame Trailer)

Not long after the Tribe of Gods shaped the world and enkindled the stars, the many races were led to name their lands. The plains of Human Wynland, the dunes of Dwarven Kanduk, the mountains of Orcan Workingar. And the three Gods--as unique in morality as their own elements, bestow their unique magic to the few they deem worthy. Rhuadu—Chieftan of Gods, grants the gift of fire, Duinna—Nature’s Guardian, the power of enchantment, and Koannus—the Deep God, grants power over sea and soul.

Three there were. Now only two remain to grant their power.

Nearly three decades have passed since the Chieftan of Gods has been slain. And the consequences of the slaying has left the slayer’s daughter Bri a struggling barmaid in a farm country Inn, where a Magnir called Villadius find her. To send her away on a quest across the world to discover the truth of how her father killed a God, and how it can undone, or done again in the war against the Deep God: who empowers an Elvan Sorseer and her army across the ocean. The rightful Queen with ambitions to exceed her Empire’s former glory, rule over the many races, and wipe the memory of Rhuadu from this world.

Announcements (Book 2/Remasters/Bonus Audios/Teatime)

The return of Kurt, teaming up with tea fiend George Hoctor to bring you all what’s new with The Call of the Flame and life!

Remastered Episodes: When I first began I had limited experience dealing in audio. But ever since I began this project, I’ve taken notes from skilled audio engineers, sound designers, voice actors, and producers who’ve taught me a few tricks I wish I had known from the start. So Chapters 1-9 will soon be updated with slightly improved audio and fixes. The same audio files will be updated in the same podcast feed.

Bonus Audio: Short audios on Patreon! Featuring Taruk, Myrtle, Bri and the others in short, comic-strip, OVA-like adventures. As well as more extended episodes and short audio readings expanding the world of CotF through its lore, such as the origin of the Magnir and Sorseers, an excerpt from Casimir’s book, letters between Villadius and Ultovin. Many are done, they will be posted weekly!

Video versions: YouTube uploads with visuals, artwork, and subtitles.

Book 2: It’ll be done, when it’s done.
