Cole Weavers
About this episode

After a summer spent with her cousins, the infamous Blackleech's, Orla Blackwater returns home to find her family farm empty. No mother, no father, no siblings to fill the halls of her families estate, River Hollow, with the warmth of belonging.


For it's many years, The Fort, has had many monsters. Some of them men, or women - others clothed in fur, and others made of nothing but air, and a whisper, that sends all those who strain their ears to hear it, nose first in a sea of madness.


Without knowing our past, we may never discern, with clear eyes, our present or future - so today I ask you to come with me, back into the past, before Peggy, before Reverend Albit, back to the early days of The Fort, when it was nothing but crooked shops, and crooked people living in a pocket of ramshackle civilization.


To all townsfolk; We, The Fort's Town Council, welcome you to Season 2 of The Town Whispers!
