The Vorthos Cast

Secrets of Strixhaven's main story may have concluded with a tremendous cliffhanger, but the side stories begin with one, as we meet Rootha on the literal edge of a cliff! From there we explore Coin Empire ruins with Quint and the perilous world of post-grad life with Zimone. Listen along as we give a summary of what happened in the side stories, and talk about how the characters have grown and changed in the years since Strixhaven.

Please read the side stories!

It's time for the main story of Secrets of Strixhaven! This six episode story is written by returning author K Arsenault Rivera, who is following up with the Strixhaven students last seen during Lorwyn Eclipsed, including the Lorwyn elf Lluwen who is struggling to adjust to life on a new plane. What starts as field work for the students, now in their second year, becomes a disaster and a mystery with the reveal of an angry, giant Archaic slumbering under Titan's Fall. Plus, there's a budding romance!

The Planeswalker's Guide to Secrets of Strixhaven has been released, and along with it a whole host of lore for the world outside of the university! Strixhaven is just one location in the wider world of Arcavios, a plane of dual natures and dueling wizards, marked by six millennia of war and six centuries of peace. Across the Vastlands are countless opportunities for enterprising young mages to make their name, and we're going to tell you about the most exciting locales for field work and internships!

Surprise! The story of Secrets of Strixhaven begins in earnest on March 23rd, but we got an early side story last week that has sent Vorthoses into a tizzy. A student journalist is tasked with interviewing a mysterious new Silverquill faculty member, Professor Ral Zarek, but what she uncovers may never be read (or blue).

We spend most of this episode speculating on what the heck is going on and what we might expect from the story of Secrets of Strixhaven with the information we have so far, and delve a little into that fractured reality of Reality Fracture.
