Summary
An album in celebration of The Magnus Archives and the storytellers at Rusty Quill

It's just...songs about a pod? Does this count? Should I be here?)

Summary
When the strange priest arrives at the palace Pentheus is taken aback. Relief is short lived, soon replaced by dozens of other worries. Who is this lackadaisical man with honey-coloured hair?
