About this episode

⛵️Get lost at sea with Maelduin⛵️

All Maelduin wants to do is avenge his father's murder...with more murder. He should have listened to that wizard. Because he didn't, his trip just got a whole lot longer. And stranger.

😈 The Creature: The Donestre
The lion headed stranger who will eat you, sure, but also feel really bad about it.
