Send us a textWell, this is it, folks! We made it to the finale. Season 2, our Tour of the Great Wheel, is over and we gather together to discuss the season as a whole. The Highs, the Lows; all the Bits. We also look back a bit on the show as a whole; storytelling and tangents alike. As a special treat, Seth gave us a fuller description of his character Daq, in our upcoming D&D novel. He's going to be a delight to travel along with. Look forward to one last Second Wind in two weeks, on "dee-20-eth", with a few last bits of banter and clarification.

Send us a textThis is not the Season Wrap Up! This is an explanation of what is coming next, from Celina, Morgan, and Seth. The Wrap Up will be coming, but in December. We figured that we'd been teasing and hinting at our next project long enough, and that it was time to bring you a full chat about what to expect. We're all sad to see Lorehaven Hearth coming to an end, but very excited to start this new project. Its structure is unlike anything we've read or heard before, and we think you'll come to enjoy it as much as we do. If you know someone who might also be intrigued by the blending of genre's structures, or delight in a rich, rewarding narrative, or perhaps somehow identify with one of the characters, share this with him or her! Our listeners will be the way we gain a larger audience! Mark you calendars, and spread the word!

Lorehaven Hearth -13. Elysium and Hades

Send us a textIn this climactic finale of the Lorehaven Hearth Planar Series, Seth and Celina journey to the two opposing hearts of the multiverse — the Blessed Fields of Elysium and the Gray Waste of Hades. From the radiant meadows where the River Oceanus flows to the desolate glooms where color and hope fade away, this episode explores how Dungeons & Dragons has portrayed these realms across every edition, from 1e’s foundational cosmology to 5e’s Great Wheel revival.Listeners will discover:The four layers of Elysium — Amoria, Eronia, Belierin, and Thalasia — and the serene celestials who dwell there.The three glooms of Hades — Oinos, Niflheim, and Pluton — and the grim forces that harvest souls.How each edition reshaped these planes in lore and mechanics.The deep mythological roots of paradise and despair, from the Greek Elysian Fields and Hades to the Egyptian Aaru and Norse Helheim.The moral and theological echoes that resonate through these imagined afterlives.The episode closes with a reflective biblical meditation, contrasting the fleeting peace of Elysium and the hopelessness of Hades with the eternal rest promised in Christ:“Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:54–55)Join us for this final journey through the Great Wheel — a tale of light and shadow, hope and despair, and the eternal truth beyond all planes.

Send us a textWell, this one's not as long, but there are still fun tangents to enjoy. Tony even had "bonus material" for us! See you in two weeks for the penultimate episode, Elysium and Hades. There will be some big announcements included in that one.
