On the continent of Tatarh, Cribe lies 'tween two countries.

To the south, the vast desert of Tatarij, a land of burning heat, warriors and seemingly endless wealth.

To the north, the forbidden, ancient forests of Elymfaehd, lethal to trespassers and home to a race, said to predate mankind itself.

Did you notice the three insignias on the Underground Cover image? What could they mean? 🤔

The Kingsguard.

The four Knights: the Azure, the Crimson, the White and the Black serve the second king not only by protecting him directly, as the name suggests, but also by carrying out the high-command of various military units within the Cribean Army.

Just like the Kingsguard and the Royal Court Magus, he protects and serves the king not merely out of duty, but also out of true companionship. Indeed, the journey which the second king undertook as crownprince, granted him something more valuable than any of his father's treasures: True friendship.

The Royal Aegis.

Where the first king prided himself upon his strength in numbers, the second king built on trust and a strong bond with his carefully picked, direct retainers. The "Royal Aegis" is no exception: Standing almost three men tall and one man wide, he protects the king with his life.

With the draft of Scene 9 completed yesterday, we're left with only Scene 4 until we have the full intro ready as draft and can get to polishing and improving and then hopefully releasing!

Stay tuned, perhaps there *might* be a snippet or two to listen to, before the introduction is out 🤫

One of the most time-consuming aspects of audio work for the audio drama, for me at least, is finding appropriate, non-AI, sound effects to either use directly or bend and layer using the audio tools available, to make it fit. Scene 2 in particular had a lot of interesting challenges to overcome.
November 16, 2025 at 10:10 PM
With the Scene 2 draft done, all that remains on that front, is the draft for Scene 9 and Scene 4 🔥

Yet, despite the harsh laws against magic, among many false rumors and debunked conspiracy theories, the stories of 'The Rose Lady' and 'The Shadowless', lead many Cribeans to believe in the existence of two further magic users within the kingdom.
November 15, 2025 at 11:55 PM
Magic.

In Cribe, the use of magic is strictly forbidden. With exception of the royal court magus, identified magic users that dare enter the capital, may expect heavy surveillance, being taken into special custody or in the worst case, neutralization. Fear is a powerful catalyst indeed...

Most of the scenes now have their draft ready, some got a bit of feedback to work in and some still need stylistic and volume adjustments, but overall...it's looking quite well!
November 13, 2025 at 7:38 PM
Oh there is definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to the work on the project so far... 👀❔
November 11, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Religion.

While common in many other countries, even the concept of worshipping or founding a cult around a higher being, is repugnant to the people of Cribe and late Strupp. Although foreign belief is tolerated, the country is eerily devoid of any religious symbols or places of prayer.

The first king, however, cared little about the struggles within the slums, as he was busy with building up a unified military force and appeasing the noble houses. If rumors of the time are to be believed, he once even referred to the slums as "the second wall" or more morbidly "the flesh wall".
November 9, 2025 at 11:45 PM
The Slums.

With little more than poverty in abundance, the slums form a thick ring around the inner walls of the capital, while being encircled by the outer walls. Lost in crime, suffering and constant fight for survival, even the city guard gave up patrols in the slum areas further from the gate.

House Hyle always believed in control, power and discipline above anything else. From the earliest of days, they dreamt of ruling the land through fear of their merciless punishments and awfully heartless intrigues. Underestimating House Hyle brought a cruel end to many, even former noble houses.
November 7, 2025 at 11:49 PM
House Faust always clung to the old traditions and virtues of the land as it once was: bravery, honor and unity.

House Burbos instead built on and expanded what these virtues had created: military prowess and superiority, with soaring ambitions to conquer neighbouring countries.

But House Hyle...

🌸 The Underground's velvet blossom, beacon of composure and politeness, wellspring of style and fashion advice and potentially sharpest tongue, has returned! We were blessed with a new VA to take over the role of Zen today! 🌸

But who could it be? Stay tuned for VA reveals soon...
November 5, 2025 at 10:38 PM
The recast for the Introduction of The Underground is still taking submissions for the next 22 hours! www.castingcall.club/projects/the...
I'm utterly grateful for all the wonderful submissions we got so far and am looking forward to welcoming our new Zen to the team tomorrow! 🌸👘💅 #Voiceacting
November 4, 2025 at 10:18 PM
There is a tad of irony that this has to be the post after the last one, however, one of our VAs had to leave the project for personal reasons, which means that the Introduction for The Underground is now looking for a new voice for *Suzu Ishida aka. Zen*! #Voiceacting
November 3, 2025 at 9:52 PM
We (a wonderful team of 17 VAs (yet to be revealed?!), and @ejdraws.bsky.social as our artist 💖) are currently working on a ~30 minute long, introductiory episode to the actual story, releasing this year. Think of it as Episode 0 or an appetizer before the main course! 🤤
November 2, 2025 at 9:31 PM
Who am I talking about? I am talking about none other than the elusive troublemakers. Loathed in all Cribe, never seen but always there. Some call them a myth, others a nightmare. I am, of course, talking about...The Underground.

Although no one could have truly known what twisted circumstances would lead up to it, four decades later, here in the cradle of the kingdom, at the dusk of an era, they stand and fight that battle Zanthanel once foretold.
November 1, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Yet, mark my words: From these remains something will grow and rise, to force the king to kneel in the shards of his own making, and reassemble what he had once broken.
