S01E09 Mythtakes Happen - Truth Decay

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.

Join us, won’t you? Some Mythtakes Happen, but these ones are on purpose.
