On the rain lashed battlements of a dark fortress a lone, dying tyrant contemplates his fate, while his underlings plan for the future, vie for rulership or simply plot their own survival. A Fire In the Heart of Knowing, the first serialised podcast of the Arcverse, explores the fate of an immense cast of vagabonds and visionaries, warriors, fugitives and seers. Join us in the dark and troubled land of Mordikhaan, where the torturers of Tharta watch silently and wait for their opportunity to flay the land. Journey with us to the city of Arc where machinations and misfits collide, and explore the troubled Mill Lands where a looming threat to the future of the realm is revealed.
