The Forsaken: A Legacy of Failure | Season 2 Episode 30

Poor Josh was feeling pretty sick, but not the rona thankfully. Or at least, so far as we know *insert dramatic music here*. But, after a brief consult with BTP's Patreon supporters, a topic was chosen. A quick trip over to a super useful discord server also yielded a last minute guest for the show to help Daniel and Andrew do more than just talk to each other. For this episode, we drop a fat First Age deuce on the Forsaken.

What do we do with the member of the Black Tower Podcast with the most swords is absent? We talk about the Borderlands of course!
