The Foxglove Letters

Father, Charles and I have arrived back in Ealanwick safely, on our mission from the baron- though, with a few scares along the way. I wish I could tell you everything in this letter, but I’ve learned there are spies that mean the baron and his family harm. I’m not certain any of that matters now though - upon our return I learned the saddest news. It’s all gone wrong. - Ivy learns not all stories...

It must have been a nightmare for Luther and Penny, being chased by those same mad beasts from the gala attack. Thinking about it even now, I squeeze my eyes shut tight and wish they were home safe… - The hunt is on in the final episode of our current arc! As Lockwood & Pickleson face a treacherous path with relentless pursuers, each decision counts. All push towards one goal, to finish the mi...

I’ll never forget that night. It was the night things truly changed forever & I came to know for sure that everything was different. I found a new, peculiar friend; and learned an exciting secret I would really have to . fight to keep… - Ivy finds herself in a tangled web of secrets, mysterious figures, and a father searching for his lost son. Ivy's path leads to revelations about an ancie...

Ivy, this is my last letter before boarding the Peacock again to leave Breadth and head to the Far West. It’s both exciting and terrifying to think I’m about to be further west than I’ve ever been. Once we’re past the causeway the journey will take a long time at open sea, so don’t be surprised by the long gap between letters. I don’t want you to think I’ve been lost at sea or captured by pirates....

After learning what they went through... I, personally can not imagine facing down the barrel of a loaded gun; and I sometimes envy the courage and bravery of both Luther and Penny… - Tensions rise as Lockwood, Pickleson, and their companions face a life-threatening situation. As Lockwood prepares to throw a journal at Annika, Pickleson takes bold actions to protect him. Amid the confusion and dan...

Dinner with the Baron did not go as I had expected.  Though Baelie Connock is a difficult man to read, he is also a kind man. I wasn’t sure why Charles first said I shouldn’t speak about the Baron’s family, but sometimes the truth comes to light in the smaller moments… - Ivy finds small moments to learn more about Baraon Baeli Connock, the town and castle of Kildale, and what hides in the the gard...

Dear Ivy, I’ve met with a scholar, and I use that term lightly, to decipher what I found aboard the Peacock. I witnessed something extraordinary the other night and located a journal written in the Old Tongue. I believe, if properly translated, a page from said journal may help us decipher the message from our friend, the Herald. I will begin work on that translation as soon as the Peacock departs...

I’ve gotten ahead of myself again. Looking back, it’s clear Baron Connock was not looking forward to guests. However, I did essentially have a whole castle to myself.  Naturally, I immediately went exploring… - Ivy should be unpacking for her first day in Kildale castle. However, her curiosity drives her to explore her surroundings. - Special thanks to Doug for voicing Baron Baeli Connock. Music:...

With the Empress having given them a covert mission, Penny said the ride into the Glenick Peaks was quite picturesque; he enjoyed swapping stories with the other soldiers around the campfire, probably feeling right at home among them again. - Lockwood and Pickelson ride deep into the scenic valley of the Glenick Peaks; swapping stories and searching for insight on the source of the dead Garian tha...

I would eventually come to find out why Lockwood had been called to Craigstow. It seems that our Empress had more than just a “thank you” in mind. Of course, Luther jumped right into what he and Pickleson do best- Investigate! - This week, we return to Lockwood and Pickelson as they begin their investigation into the strange body from the Glenick Peaks. - Special thanks to Will for voicing Gerwin...

Hi Ivy, I've made it out to sea. Thanks again for making sure to pick up my bike from where I stash it behind my flat. The Peacock is a pretty good ship, but I honestly thought I would have to make it further west before running into something odd… - This week, James boards the Glenick vessel heading to Breath, the Clon trading capital of the world, in hopes of making it further west to explor...

While I was getting settled, in Kildale, it turns out that our dear Lockwood and Pickleson were up to some interesting business of their own. The Professor had once told me of a pub back home, called “The Lodge,” or was it “The 209,” I’m sure you know the one.  Either way, I had never heard of it. Though I doubt it’s nearly so great as The Dicey Cantina…  - This week, we return to Lockwood and Pic...

After saying goodbye to James, it was that same night, that I received your letter - as if divinely timed when I needed that welcome bit of comfort from home. And you could’ve never guessed the adventure sparked by your surprise…  - This week, her friends having left her behind, Ivy embarks on her own adventure. - Music: From Ireland, with Love by Jakub Pietras Tír na nÓg by Lance Conrad - | ⁠Yo...

Father, I wish you could meet Mordeleg, the Farlander.

Music:...

…now, while James and I were in the company of that wonderful old Farlander, I couldn’t help but wonder about Lord Luther & Professor Pickleson. I was ever so curious about what they were up to.  All I knew was that Julia came to call and needed to meet with Luther about travel to the capitol... - Welcome to our fifth episode, in which Lockwood and Pickelson journey beyond Kelybrook to the cap...

Dear Father, everything is changing so fast it’s difficult to keep track. It seems everyone here is being pulled into some kind of adventure.
