You want to talk about a stacked card? I can’t even imagine what Wrestlers Eternal’s financials must look like. This Ephraim Forrester, whoever he is, he must be richer than God. Look at all these contracts — he didn’t just buy out the other three promotions, he devoured them. He gobbled these rosters up like a Hungry, Hungry Hippo hammering down on all those little marbles — that’s what the game...

It’s not for everyone, sure. It’s loud, it invites anger, and my old man never liked how the women got hit — never mind that at least they were allowed to hit back. But it’s real enough, because the kicks are real, the bruises are real, and the energy you feel when you’re swept up in a “This Is Awesome” chant — there’s no way that much energy can be fake. Pro Wrestling is as real as the protests,...

“Broadway's dark tonight A little bit weaker than you used to be Broadway's dark tonight See the young man sitting in the old man's bar Waiting for his turn to die The cowboy kills the rock star And Friday night's gone too far The dim light hides the years On all the faded girls Forgotten but not gone You drink it off your mind You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been You see,...

Island of Records + Deep Dive Comics Customer Reviews: 3.5 Stars —xXx66silverwingstar66xXx Alright store, really great backlog and reasonable prices. Howevr, the store is really lacking in vibes. The energy is off. I think there used to be a different owner and back then they were always trying to push extra stuff on you and upsell you (I think that’s what it’s called). But now it’s kind of like t...

“With wind beneath us guiding, We lift our selves on high
And in the sunlight shining,
Your glories we will cry In rain and sun and storming, We weather for your call Your compliments or warning We strive to answer all In constant exultation We lavish in the sound And if we do your bidding We’ll never touch the ground.” —-Traditional Hymn for the Church of Lari. CONENT WARNING: Alcohol use, physic...

In most cities, in most countries, justice is monolithic. Justice is a proper noun, the capital-J all but implied when its mighty name is uttered aloud. But not so in Lari. Here, we have as many different justices as the compass has cardinal directions. The justice of the coast, as determined by the salty air and the hard-fought lives of those who sail those dreadful waters, differs wildly from th...

The decade-old cold case regarding the mysterious death of Larius Tristan Copernicus Vanderpuhl has long ago passed from the realm of local events into the pantheon of historical myth. An event that was felt so profoundly that it shook itself free of the reigns of context. What happened, happened, and the birds claimed their share. Many believe that the past should be kept where it is. Reopening t...

Listen, youngsters of Lari, as old Forrest spins you another yarn — this one’s waterproof! Just a little joke, just a little joke. Prepare for the salt-spray stories of the most fearsome pirates Lari’s coast has ever seen! The five bravest, strangest, and perhaps luckiest folks what ever flew the black flag. Listen to the song of old Lari, then called Cor Moran, a name we’ve lost to time, and this...

No one likes to believe in rumors, but most people enjoy passing them around. What’s the harm, right? There’s no way most of them are true. It strains credulity to believe that, for example, Billy Riley really has royal blood in his veins (royal to whom? From where?), or that Susan Santiago hasn’t slept in two years, and she spends each night pacing the halls with her eyes a milky white? Such stor...

The Kataigida school for the arts stands as a beacon of culture in Lari, a symbol of its heritage of learning and its future. But in a city where no one lives past 60 (or at least, no one is supposed to), how much connection to a history do its people truly have? And what do these sharp young minds do within these walls? Being young is chaotic enough on its own. But for the students of Kataigida,...

Life in Lari is not always easy. Days are long, the sun beats down without empathy, and the night is both cold and crowded. But the people of this city, stretching from the salt-sparkling coast to the cross-stitched depths of its forests at the foot of those great aloof mountains, the people of this city have found their blessings wherever they may be. The land has its gifts, and the land takes it...

When life in the mundane, monstrous world of the big city gets you down, you may want to throw it all away, disappear from your old life, and dive into a more self-governed existence. ‘Damn The Man keeping me down,’ you might think, ‘I need to live my own life! I need to escape! I need to go somewhere quiet where I can build my life with own hands.’ And you don’t know it, but what you’re actually...

The city of Lari is reeling from the strange death of its leader and the stranger new mandate from its higher guardians. As people's curiosity grows, and the tension on the streets begins to boil, every tomorrow feels like less and less of a guarantee. That being said, they still know how to party.

A city on the edge of the ocean, a city on the edge of the map, a city on the edge of history. A world coming together like a ship piercing heavy fog.

This episode, we play 'THE GROUND ITSELF,' by Everest Pipkin. Learn more about the...
