episode 141 — twilit eildon

Before the sun finally goes down on Changeling: the Lost's first edition, we've got one more text to talk about. What's that you say? We've gone through all the books and all the Dark Eras, so what could possibly be left? Well, as we prepared those final episodes, author Thomas McVey released Twilit Eildon, a homebrew title on the Storytellers' Vault. It was a surprise out of nowhere, especially because it was angled towards the first edition, so we felt it right and proper to give it a read. The book claims to delve into True Fae who might be less malevolent than expected, as well as the loyalists who support them, with asides on the topic of fae-blooded children and cyberspace. A bit incongruous? Perhaps. Still worth a read and a discussion? Naturally. We'll talk about whether our expectations are met and how much there really is/was left to say about this version of the Lost setting.

Thomas' book is available for purchase at https://www.storytellersvault.com/en/product/554832?affiliate_id=3063731, and we are available for opinionated debate at the usual roundup of links:

Pooka G (any pronoun/they) prefers the mouthfeel of the term gloaming for describing the end of the day. Amelia Fetch (she/her) wonders whether an eildon can be neon-lit as well, as it would be stunning in pink.

Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table. —T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
