We are delighted to announce that The Fourth Age has been officially selected for this year's Apulia Web Fest!

Thank you to our audience for your continued support, to the folks over at Apulia Web Fest, and to @tabletopartsfund.org for making this journey possible.

We are endlessly grateful.
Two pairs of feet - one leaping barefoot under a cascading purple dress and white apron, and the other heavily armoured, with a long green cloak around their ankles - making their way over a hill. Below them is a set of white laurels with the words "Official Selection: Apulia Web Fest 2025."

WE ARE LIVE WITH OUR FINALE!

With the return of a familiar friend, the fellowship are met once more. But the roots of The Dark Tree are spreading. And they threaten to undo all that has been built in this new age of peace. War looms...

twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject

The Fourth Age concludes.
Two figures stand together against a sandstorm in the desert. - A hobbit with delicate, pale features and wavy brown hair tied up with butterfly-shaped bows. She wears a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron, a brown backpack slung over her shoulder. - A tall and handsome Elf with warm-toned, fair skin. He has deep black, straight hair that cascades down his back in a gentle wave, tied back with braids. He has monolid, warm amber eyes. He wears smart, finely made elven robes and leather armour in shades of sea blues and greens. A bow is slung over his shoulder, and in his hand he carries a golden astrolabe. In front of them are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Two” and “Chapter Ten: Call To The West.”

In the deserts of Rhûn, Iairen has been reunited with his father once more. But of what assistance can the last of the Blue Wizards be to this fellowship? And where has he been all of these years...?

twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject

The Fourth Age continues.
An elf with beautiful dark features and long white braids, wearing a hooded auburn cloak over dark leather armour. Around her neck, she wears a simple necklace in which there is a small glass vial containing a single leaf, which hangs just above her bare, toned abdomen. An Elven sword hangs from her waist, as she stands against the windy, bone-strewn dunes of a desert. And over her shoulder, a shadowy ghost, both hooded and masked, fades into the desert winds. In front of them are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Two” and “Chapter Nine: The Dark Desert.”

Arriving in the temple-city of Tset-Habaor, the fellowship have come to Queen Meht in search of answers. But with Iairen's past coming to light, what dangers lurk within the shadows...?

The Fourth Age continues.
Two figures stand together against ruins in the desert. - A woman with tanned features, a stern jawline and long black braided hair, intertwined with golden scales. She carries a large gleaming sword and a heavy shield displaying two stylised dragons. She wears brown leather armour and steel pauldrons with fur lining, while a heavy green cloak drapes from her shoulders, and a pan flute hangs from her belt on red thread. She stands against a mountainous backdrop, as a pink sun sets behind her in the distance. - A tall and handsome Elf with warm-toned, fair skin. He has deep black, straight hair that cascades down his back in a gentle wave, tied back with braids. He has monolid, warm amber eyes. He wears smart, finely made elven robes and leather armour in shades of sea blues and greens. A bow is slung over his shoulder, and in his hand he carries a golden astrolabe. In front of them are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Two” and “Chapter Eight: Mist and Twilight, Cloud and Shade.”

Only three chapters left until the conclusion of Book Two!

Will Aerlind feel the call?
What is the secret to Chicory's stone?
Can Eona find her strength?
Is Iairen's father still alive?
And what of Mistiel's scars?

Answers await these next three weeks. Will you be there...? Tuesdays, 12pm PT.

"Fly! This is a foe beyond any of you."

Unfortunately this is true. And the foe in question is flight delays.

One of our fellowship is in the air, meaning that we won't be returning to Middle-earth today. However, we will be back next week!

Dates for our rescheduled episodes to be confirmed soon!

As Mistiel embarks on her own journey of discovery and healing, in Milfalas the fellowship prepare for their journey across the sea. Rhûn beckons. But are they prepared for what awaits them...?

The Fourth Age continues.
Two figures stand side by side. A hobbit with delicate, pale features and wavy brown hair tied up with butterfly-shaped bows. She wears a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron, a brown backpack slung over her shoulder. And next to her, a human with handsome, dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, his kind eyes looking out: one hazel, one blue. He wears a green robe with gold trim over a simple brown ensemble, with an orange scarf around his shoulders and a bow slung over his shoulders. The two stand aboard a ship that crosses the sea. Above them are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Two” and next to them “Chapter Seven: Into The East.”

As the fellowship continue to traverse unfamiliar lands, the losses they have sustained will be eclipsed by the absence of one of their own. But they are not without allies. From the north, another arrives...

Hailing from Mithlond, Aerlind (@estelofimladris.bsky.social) has led a life like few of his kin. And as the age of Elves comes to an end and his people leave these shores, the time has come for him to learn more of Middle-earth, this world he has served for so long.

But certain scars yet linger...

Chicory Taproot (@seum.bsky.social) is a long way from the Shire. Her staff is broken. Her hope dwindling. And in her dreams she sees a looming tidal wave of shadow...

She knows not what dangers lurk in Rhûn. But she has vowed to protect her friends. And it is a promise she will keep until the end.
A hobbit with delicate, pale features and wavy brown hair tied up with butterfly-shaped bows. She wears a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron, a brown backpack slung over her shoulder. In her apron is a bunch of blue chicory flowers, and in her hand she holds a staff, at the end of which hangs a large flower, in the centre of which sits a large pearlescent stone. She stands by a babbling brook, in the midst of a forest awash with sunset hues of pink and purple. In front of her are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Two” and “Sam Seum is Chicory Taproot.”

Jack of all Trades and "master of like three of them," @critbard.tv's impact on the RPG space is immeasurable, known for their appearances in @beadleandgrimms.com's Faster, Purple Worm!

As the fellowship travel to Rhûn, seeking answers about The Dark Tree, for Iairen (@critbard.tv) this quest means something else entirely.

For in this land lies the secret of his parents, and the key to a power that has been building inside him. Will he rise to meet it? Or fall before the last...?
A human with handsome, dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, his kind eyes looking out: one hazel, one blue. He wears a green robe with gold trim over a simple brown ensemble, with an orange scarf around his shoulders and a bow slung over his shoulders. Various satchels hang from his waist, as does a single wooden hummingbird. He stands against a sandy desert, as orange dust swirls about him. In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Two” and “Omega Jones is Iairen.”

A trailblazer within the roleplay world - to say nothing of their presence in the Magic community - in addition to designing games such as Relic and Total Competition Island, @blackgirlmage.bsky.social's prowess as a GM and as a player can be seen on Strix University and Beyond The Brook.

With the help of her fellowship, Mistiel (@blackgirlmage.bsky.social) has laid to rest the memory of her brother, his soul twisted by the Enemy.

But grief is seldom so simple. Ghosts yet haunt her. And before she can banish them, uncomfortable truths must be faced. About Fara, and The Dark Tree...
An elf with beautiful dark features and long white braids, wearing a hooded auburn cloak over dark leather armour. Around her neck, she wears a simple necklace in which there is a small glass vial containing a single leaf, which hangs just above her bare, toned abdomen. An Elven sword hangs from her waist, as she stands against a dark grey forest, smothered in mist. And over her shoulder, a shadowy ghost lours in the distant trees. In front of her are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Two” and “Lexi McQueen is Mistiel.”

Theodas (@jwcartwright.bsky.social) has spent so much of his long life chasing the shadows of Middle-earth. And he has done so alone. Until now.

His time with the fellowship has changed him. Now, he searches for something new: hope. For there is light in this world.

He has seen it in his friends.
A muscular elf with strong dark features and stern green eyes, his face framed by a thick, greying beard. Over one shoulder, he wears a grey cloak, and his large exposed arms are crossed over a dull golden chestpiece of interlocking bands. Satchels and a sword hang from his waist, as the sun sets in the distance, bathing him in orange light against a deep and fiery sky. In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Two” and “Jasper William Cartwright is Theodas.”
