We have had a WILD time with tech, but we are finally LIVE with our Book Three premiere!

Come and join us in chat!

The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 1d

WE ARE LIVE WITH OUR PREMIERE!

The armies of the Dark Tree are on the move. Middle-earth will fall. And all that stands between the Reunited Kingdom and its ruin is a fellowship of six. But in the face of such shadow, is hope enough...?

WATCH HERE: twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject

See you in chat!

Aerlind, a tall and handsome Elf with warm-toned, fair skin. He has deep black, straight hair that cascades down his back in a gentle wave, tied back with braids. He has monolid, warm amber eyes. He wears smart, finely made elven robes and leather armour in shades of sea blues and greens. A bow is slung over his shoulder, and in his hand he carries a golden astrolabe. He stands against a wide and warm coastline.

In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Chapter One: What May Be Preserved.”
