Hope Henley had presided over her compound for as long as anyone could remember. She had buried two husbands and three children before it was finally her time. Some said that she was simply too mean and that Death himself was afraid of her. However, no matter how ferocious a life may be - Death comes for us all in his own time. Now, all that is left is to say the prayers and pay your respects lest she refuse to cross to that other side and haunt those lacking in proper respect. The first live recording hosted at Snug Books in Baltimore, MD.

On the continent of Korvast, the Castaways constantly drift from one location to another, driven by an invisible pull that draws them together even as it keeps them from ever settling for long. The only community the Castaway know are their caravans, the chosen families who grant each other companionship and some manner of safety on the often dangerous roads they are compelled to travel. Among these many convoys, there is one group that must travel their path alone: the mysterious and misunderstood Black Caravan tasked with mass graves, crypts, and mausoleums and crewed by those not long for this world.Tonight we peel back a layer of this mystique to reveal the origin of the Unbinding Spear. The Storyteller’s Spear was written by Christopher Bunge and performed by Ben TurleyBe sure to follow and support the show at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086569516381https://www.patreon.com/thedarkmeandersAlso be sure to support our cast by checking outhttps://www.twitch.tv/permotriassichttp://frankhorror.com/
