S2.09 - Idle Ambitions of the Fractured Throne
Lorekeepers - A Worldbuilding Podcast02/04/20 • 71 min
"The ascent to greatness, however steep and dangerous, may entertain an active spirit with the consciousness and exercise of its own power: but the possession of a throne could never yet afford a lasting satisfaction to an ambitious mind.”
- Edward Gibbon, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
The deepest pool is found with a wayward step, and boy did we step in it this week. In what certainly becomes a two-parter, we begin by asking the question of handling borders, and find ourselves neck-deep in a thorough dissection of the histories of Aevum Tertius. Enjoy!
