The Church of the Ecstatic

Church of the Ecstatic 01/04/2024 – The Black Company

Thu, Jan 4, 2024

Songs about the Barrowlands, the Ten Who Were Taken who slept beneath them, the cruel Lady, the wind whales on the Plain of Fear, prophetic comets, and flying carpets.

Been really enjoying The Black Company series by Glen Cook that my partner’s been wanting me to read/listen to for forever. And boy, do I see why. The magic is weird and settings wild, and I hope the things I cobbled together tonight convey the tiniest hint of this ominous fantasy world.
