2.29: Second Citadel -- The Spiral Sage (Part 2)

From The Penumbra Podcast Harley Takagi Kaner and Kevin Vibert

Legends say that far north of the Second Citadel, close to the Northern edge of the world itself, lives the Spiral Sage. They say he is a powerful being, a sacred warrior for human good who controls time and the wilderness itself. They say he is a great hero.

And he'd better be, because the number of creatures who need saving keeps on rising. First Lord Arum, then Rilla and Sir Caroline, and then... well, you'll just have to hear for yourself.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.
