Gods and godlings galore! A plethora of pagan powers are introduced in The Celestial Pantheon; twelve definitely gods and two maybe-kinda-sorta-nearly gods are all briefly described and discussed. From the Father of the Great Consociate, Gruvold to Gengolof the Great Scaletipper. From baker gods to bro gods.

We then take a deep dive into the highest reaches of society as we examine the Consociate Nobility. Their titles and duties and how the gamut from the very top down to those barely above the common-folk all fit into society.

Switching focus from the broad to the specific, we take a close look at just one family of Consociate nobles in Heliakon; the Khedia O’zeenasea. How position and the past have shaped them and how they, in turn, may shape the future.

Also Blood Farmers turn out to not be as nice as their name makes them sound.

Have a proper gander at some of the way our fantasy societies distribute and formulate propaganda and disinformation aimed at keeping their citizens in line and angry at someone else.

Marvel at the Society of Glass Vultures and their sneaky pursuit of distilled truth. Learn about the systems of education and art which propagate the philosophies of our imperial powers. Tremble at the oversize influence of the Bureau for the Propagation of Virtuous Principles!

We explore the changes the printing press and its publication of the very popular serzeyns are making to how news and ideas are distributed in Heliakon and beyond.

We completely forget to do the episode on propaganda as we discussed last episode...did we mention that some mythtakes might be made? After goofing around for probably a little too long, we eventually get to the Mythtakes at hand, beginning with an extended digression on the Undead of our world; The Winnowed.

After discussing the mechanism behind the magic we zoom in on the Zombie before studying the Skeleton and then worrying about the Wight.

The Southern half of Heliakon gets its' Districts Delineated and described before we leave the great city for the lands to the West and explore the unsettlingly vermilion Bloodwoods and visit the fascinating Frog Country while we're in the area.
