Cast
Friar Pan
The Dragon. Friar Pan is a half-dragon, raised by dwarven nuns in an old monastery. He loves to cook, especially cakes, and Poptart is his best friend in the whole world. He is also the Engine of the Pumpkin Patch. Pan fears he may be responsible for the end of the world.
Pan seeks Relentless Justice and The Dwarven Craft.
Friar Pan is played by Clove.
Harbinger
The Harbinger. Harbinger is a priest of the Columned City, a pillar of the High Doric Order. They are shrouded in mystery, quick to give commands, and slow to explain themselves. Harbinger is in charge of the Pumpkin Patch's Communications. They talk big, but their motives seem benevolent. Probably.
Harbinger will Fulfill The Prophecies.
Harbinger is played by Ikks.
Poptart
The Halfling. Poptart is a guardian spirit, equal parts River and Frog, and Pilot of the Pumpkin Patch. They love to wrestle, ride on top of, and eat with anyone who will have them. Playful and mischievous, Poptart is here to save the world. They know much more than you'd think.
Poptart wants to Have Fun, and they have an Alien Mindset.
Poptart is played by Joey.
Yuria Bloodtongue
The Squire. Yuria Bloodtongue is a red panda, once torn apart by Aurorealis, but put back together by O.R.C. robots. She is Captain of the Pumpkin Patch, and can call on her old O.R.C. allies for help if she needs them. In spite of all this, she feels inadequate, and is here to find some kind of belonging or purpose.
Yuria knows that They Need Me.
Yuria is played by Riley.
Normal Dog
This is what dogs are. Normal Dog is the Pumpkin Patch's Gunner, and Harbinger's Companion. They are just tentacles, and nothing else.
The Quadcore Pumpkin Patch
The Quadcore Pumpkin Patch is a flying shopping mall, a series of storefront pods rigged together with steam pipes and steel catwalks. Whimsical and complicated, it drifts through the air via a complicated system of levers, steam, and balloons.
Aurorealis
The Overlord. Aurorealis, Who Fire Forgot, is a mysterious being whose motives are entirely unknown. All we know is that they want the world cold, and they have the power to do it. She is tall, bald, and pale as the fallen snow.
Aurorealis is played by Gnome.
Ggislin Kketos
The toughest elf in the world. Ggislin Ketos works for Aurorealis alongside Knight. The massive power pack on his back ensures his robotic arms are always fulled charged and ready to go. After his total defeat in their first fight, Ggislin wants to break all of Pan's things.
Knight
A High Doric priest working for Aurorealis. Knight is partnered up with Ggislin Ketos. She keeps a ball of wings on her right arm, and wields a heated cyber-sword in her left. Knight considers Harbinger her equal, and wants to kill Pan.

08: World Building
In today's episode of To Winter's End, we build the world. Our heroes talk about the world as they know it, filling it with cool places to see, people to meet, and problems to solve. Like all character creation episodes, this one is technically optional, but we will be referencing the world we made in this episode a lot going forward.
As this is a map-building episode, there is also a video version available by clicking here. I highly recommend watching the video, but listening with the full map open should also work fine.

09: What Does A King Do?
After an emotional night, our heroes are invited to a formal breakfast with the king. King Nnico Llendora offers the fellowship food and drink and war machines, in exchange for saving the city and maybe a little fealty. But nobody seems all that interested...
