Queen of Shadows Podcast - Episode 4

Previously:

In our previous episode, Eilwen chases the retreating figure and ends up in a clearing where she finds ancient stone blocks and two strange iron pillars. She investigates the pillars and to her surprise realizes she can read at least some of the angular runes on their faces. She remembers how her mother had taught her the skill through a deep study of the iron disks. At the base of one of the pillars, she discovers a panel which she presses it, it springs open spewing out a large cloud of white dust, dust that she realizes with growing horror is likely dried bones ground to dust from a sacrifice a sacrifice of a little girl made to some power. She mourns such loss and vows to find out if her mother was affiliated with such a cult, and if so to stamp them out. Upon making the vow, she finds the way back to her brother and Drystan revealed. She spends the night in the forest and dreams of the child who tells her thank you. The next morning, she returns to Aron and Drystan and they resume their journey towards Rockriver to find Mabon the chieftain of Frostrbidge and their father, Cadfael.
