Season 2, Episode 2: The City of Stars Has Fallen

The Fallen Cycle Mythos fiction podcast

We are all just costumes death wears for a season.

Catastrophe unfolds as the City of Stars succumbs to chaos and destruction. Gran describes the harrowing moments she witnessed as Ashenti, once a beacon of peace and beauty, is engulfed in flames.

As the city burns, we face the emotional and psychological turmoil of the survivors, who grapple with feelings of loss, betrayal, and the collapse of their world. Fire serves as both destroyer and purifier as Eluane and others attempt to salvage remnants of their culture and history, focusing on the city’s library—a sanctuary of knowledge now threatened by the possibility of eternal forgetting.

A mythpunk universe combining elements of speculative fiction, magical realism, fantasy and near-future noir.

Many Cycles begin in a world much like our own, with characters who know little of the world beyond their waking lives. Gradually, the crack opens between the mundane and the fantastic, the wondrous and the horrific, the past and the future. Perhaps you've been having prophetic dreams that won't stop, or hear the spirits of the trees demanding a blood sacrifice every time you leave your apartment. But those are just dreams... right?
