A hobbit with delicate, pale features and wavy brown hair tied up with butterfly-shaped bows. She wears a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron, a brown backpack slung over her shoulder. She stands within the wintry lands of her home, the Shire. In front of her are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Chapter Five: Until Spring Comes.”

WE ARE LIVE WITH THE OUR MID-SEASON FINALE!

The first and last great battle of the Fourth Age will soon begin. But as the banners of the Free Peoples fly and alarums sound, Chicory feels an altogether different call: one of home.

We'll see you in chat!

Our fellowship will be a little delayed in going LIVE today, owing to a mix of technical and the real world issues.

But @blackgirlmage.bsky.social, @causticphoenix.bsky.social, @critbard.com, @estelofimladris.bsky.social and @justseum.bsky.social we will be with you soon, for our MID-SEASON FINALE!

Always glad to have you by the campfire, Hector!

Only three days left! Plenty of time for you to find that perfect moment in your actual play, and put it in front of our judges.

Don't have a show? Bother the person who makes your favorite AP, and make sure they apply!

And @edwardspence.bsky.social as The Loremaster.

A human with handsome, dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, his kind eyes looking out: one hazel, one blue. He wears a green robe with gold trim over a simple brown ensemble, with an orange scarf around his shoulders and a bow slung over his shoulders. Various satchels hang from his waist, as does a single wooden hummingbird. He stands against a setting sun, surrounded by thick woodland. In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Chapter Four: The Free Peoples.”

WE ARE LIVE WITH THE FOURTH AGE!

Hope burns bright. The forces of Rhûn and Dale march west, towards the Elven kingdom of Eryn Lasgalen, where yet more allies await them. And for some amongst the fellowship, the memories of home...

An elf with beautiful dark features and long white braids, wearing a hooded auburn cloak over dark leather armour. Around her neck, she wears a simple necklace in which there is a small glass vial containing a single leaf, which hangs just above her bare, toned abdomen. An Elven sword hangs from her waist, as she stands against a snowy landscape. Snow swirls around her, and Erebor the Lonely Mountain looms behind her. In front of her are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Chapter Three: To The Last.”

WE ARE LIVE WITH THE FOURTH AGE!

As the fellowship return to Dale, so too does Eona find herself returning home. But though they bring new allies in their fight against The Dark Tree, some grudges may yet run too deep...

Eona, a woman with tanned features, a stern jawline and long black braided hair, intertwined with golden scales. She carries a large gleaming sword and a heavy shield displaying two stylised dragons. She wears brown leather armour and steel pauldrons with fur lining, while a heavy green cloak drapes from her shoulders, and a pan flute hangs from her belt on red thread. She stands against a mountainous backdrop, as snow drifts before her. In front of her are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Chapter Two: The Drums of War.”

WE ARE LIVE WITH THE FOURTH AGE!

The Enemy has been delayed, for now. And the fellowship travel west, exhausted and spent. But as their search for allies begins in earnest, there are those who might not offer their help so freely...

In one day, I was afforded the privilege of two immensely cathartic recordings, with @oneshotnetwork.bsky.social's extraordinary cast of sad storytellers, and opposite @jwcartwright.bsky.social for @calltoadventure.bsky.social's The Fourth Age.

To be moved to tears by friends is an unspeakable joy.

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.”

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...?

Tomorrow, The Fourth Age comes to an end...

The forces of The Dark Tree descend upon the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. And all that stand between this ancient evil and the ruination of Middle-earth are six heroes: a fellowship.
