Here's a question: let's say you get a couple friends together and really piss off Dark Matters, the biggest and most powerful law enforcement operation in human history. Where can you go where they'll never find you?   Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.   (Trigger warnings can be found at the bottom of this episode description and at the end of the tr...

Echidnacht is the holiest day for monsterkind, the day when monsters ply each other with spooks and sweets and a monster's favorite pastime of all: competition. It is also a day for tales of terror, like Caroline is telling the head of WEP security on this particular Echidnacht evening -- a tale of three great monsters of Silvershore and the only creatures fearsome enough to defeat them. Happy...

Deep in the waters of Silvershore lies the City Beneath, home to the city's water-breathing denizens... and an ancient and mysterious monster named Enoch. Enoch, it is said, was present when Silvershore was first built, and so knows every secret the city holds. Sir Tristan the Cold is in search of one secret in particular -- and neither Enoch nor the city they built will survive if Tristan get...

Sir Lamorak of the Piercing Eye, so named for his ability to see through any situation, is not used to house calls. He moved to Silvershore, in part, to get away from house calls -- and yet today his home is full of enemies, new and old, and none of them are willing to leave until they get what they want from him. Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Trigger warnin...

Doctor Palomine Aurinko made a career out of changing people. A behaviorist, in his mind, should be a sculptor of the soul: a set of firm hands to grasp and pinch and mold a person into anyone -- or anything -- he desired. Palomine is long dead now, but his ideas live on without him. The sculptor's hands continue to mold... and Juno Steel is about to find out what happens when those hands star...

Silvershore's clock tower breaks out from the skyline of beehive apartments and exploding tree-monsters, a constant declaration to the most fundamental truth of Silvershore itself: advertising. Because the clock tower isn't just a historically important building; it is also the headquarters of Wayward East Press, the largest entertainment business in an entertainment city. The offices are...

If you love the Penumbra, check out a new podcast from our friends at the Fable & Folly network. Broken Road follows a veteran struggling with obsolete military implants who teams up with a defiant farmer and her daughter against a corrupt lawman. It’s a story of ingenuity in the face of corporate greed, exploring what it means to be human, the need for personal connection, and the strength of...

Hidden in the Wayward East lies a city lost to time: Silvershore. With silver sands twinkling in the spring sunlight, cool waves of the Wayward sea lapping at its docks, and violet crystal monoliths jutting from the surrounding desert sands, Silvershore is a place of beauty... and of mystery. Every city has its secrets. A secret city has even more. And though Olala wants to learn the secrets of Si...

What is the recipe for a prison break? Take one family, tear them apart, tenderize their minds, marinate them in fear and paranoia... then leave them to sit, confident that they aren't going anywhere. And that confidence is key. Because the moment you think you have the Aurinkos beaten, the moment you're certain they've given up on themselves and each other? That's when they show y...

Aurinko Permanent Corrections is not like other prisons. At Aurinko Permanent Corrections, they believe in rehabilitation. They believe that all of us have the ability to be better, do better, and it is with this certainty that the warden might look you in the eyes and ask:   "So why aren't you doing better? And what do I have to do to you to make you start?"   Welcome to the Penumbra,...

There is very little that the regions of the Universe can agree upon. The Northern Wilds has their monster-hunting furor, the Western Wastes are known for their scholars and scientists, and in the Southern Frosts survival against the elements dominates daily life. But in all three regions of the Universe, children are taught the same lesson: do not enter the Wayward East, for that way lies madness...

Juno Steel would really like to take the past, lock it up in a little box, and throw away the key, thank you very much. It's hard to blame him: with his childhood friend hunting him down and his recent love gone without a trace, the past is really feeling like the place where all of today's problems were born. But Juno is a detective, and even if he's decided he's done with Sasha W...
