The Once And Future Nerd

Show Notes

Antonin Mooncrest, after taking over as rightful Regent of Guernatal, wins over his new subjects. Meanwhile, Ardel Redmoor, the recently-removed regent of the same…does the opposite. West of the mountains, First Snow and Steady River head towards the Federation to discuss the threat of the Elves. And finally, the Iordic (and Pennsylvanian) crew deal with the consequences of their recent endeavor.
