1490 Doom - Lore Series Podcast

Macroom, County Cork. April, 1490.They burned Orla on a Tuesday. Called it justice. The crowd nodded the way crowds do when they're too afraid to speak and too tired to feel.Róise watched. She did not look away.Something had been wrong with the land long before the execution. The soil darker than it should be. The water tasting of rust. Animals found drained and pale, veins black as ink. No one wanted to say what it meant. It was easier to find a witch.🎙️ Narrated by Lauren Coontz 🎵 Original Score by Eric Michael Robertson ✍️ Written & Produced by Buer Games 🌑 https://1490doom.com0:00 Chapter 1: The Pyre6:48 Chapter 2: The Marten17:42 Chapter 3: Hunted23:34 Chapter 4: O'Driscoll34:16 Chapter 5: The Bellows44:23 Chapter 6: The Widow's Snare52:37 Chapter 7: The Gamble59:59 Chapter 8: For The Taking1:07:10 Chapter 9: The Tower1:15:29 Chapter 10: The Banshee

The Book of Adrian | A 1490 Doom StoryNarrated by Scanner BarklyNovember, 1490. Brittany, France.The world didn't end all at once. It rotted. Slowly, patiently, the way things do when God stops paying attention. The fields went first, then the people, then whatever passed for hope in a place that never had much to begin with.Adrian is seventeen. He has a helmet, a stolen dagger, and the particular kind of determination that only comes from having nothing left to lose.🎙️ Narrated by Scanner Barkly   / @scannerbarkly  🎵 Original Score by Eric Michael Robertsonhttp://open.spotify.com/album/0wJc5Il...✍️ Written & Produced by Buer Games🌑 https://buergames.com

Annals of the Doomed: Book Five (Part One) “For Whom the Bells Toll”Written & Performed by Joel MengelMusic by Eric Michael RobertsonThrough choking fog that clings like grave soil to the lungs, two shadows flee. Job and Ophelia, hand in bleeding hand.Behind them the zealots come: rusted blades, stolen armor, eyes ablaze with sanctified madness.Father Radley, priest of the pyre, preaches mercy through torment and promises purification by flame for the witch, the sinner, the merely alive.Three fall in the ruined inn (throats opened, brains pierced, hearts stilled) yet the hunters will not be denied.Into the tainted mist the lovers plunge, masks clamped tight, leaping from shattered walls and racing toward the sound that has haunted their dreams for a year.A church bell, tolling steady and merciless across the corpse of England.A promise. A lure. Perhaps salvation.Or the final stake.🕯 Grimdark historical fiction in a collapsing world ⚔From the universe of the 1490 Doom tabletop game🎧 The fifth entry in a new series chronicling the testimonies of the doomedExplore the world at: https://1490doom.comJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/byS8wWP2pCFollow Joel Mengel:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuelneve?_t=Z...Blog: https://joelmengel.blogspot.com/?m=1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuelneve...

Annals of the Doomed: Book Four “Long Live the King”Written & Performed by Joel MengelMusic by Eric Michael RobertsonBeneath the vaulted stones of Westminster a hollow monarch rules his silent court.The air hangs thick with incense and decay and the creeping death seeps through every crack in the ancient walls.Upon a throne of bone and tarnished gold the mad king delivers his final decree to a congregation of corpses.His queen smiles in ruin his children sleep in their cradles of dust and his courtiers applaud with empty hands.The crown gleams faintly in the fog as the last light of England flickers and fades.🕯 Grimdark historical fiction in a collapsing world⚔ From the universe of the 1490 Doom tabletop game🎧 The fourth entry in a new series chronicling the testimonies of the doomedExplore the world at:https://1490doom.comJoin the Discord:https://discord.gg/byS8wWP2pCFollow Joel Mengel:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuelneve?_t=ZP-908ygiW9imN&_r=1Blog: https://joelmengel.blogspot.com/?m=1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuelneve/?igsh=MW1vOWExd3JyZml6NQ==&utm_source=qr

The river dried to nothing.Northward they went, through dust and silence, chasing whispers of home.But some tides cannot be outrun.Some tides are not made of water.In the shadow of Valladolid the weight of a dying world comes to bear and one man learns what it means to drown where no river runs.Narrated by @malev_minis🕯 Grimdark historical fiction set in a collapsing world⚔ Based on the 1490 Doom tabletop universe🎧 New episodes drop weeklyExplore the world at https://1490doom.comJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/AMGNSXXD

The sky is pitiless. The soil is sick.Mateo and Baltasar follow the river north, through lands stripped bare by famine, fear, and flight. Towns stand hollow. Roads are choked with the remnants of those who came before—abandoned wagons, scattered shoes, warm fires with no one around them.When they finally see the migration with their own eyes, it’s worse than they imagined: a silent procession under guard, heading nowhere, chased by hunger and rot.Whispers of cities in chaos. Gates locked. Cults forming. Rain that carries death.And still, they press on.Northward.
