About this episode
The episode discusses a favorite piece of artwork from Numenera and its influence on storytelling within the game.
This is one of my favorite pieces of artwork from Numenera created by Bruce Brenneise , one that lit my imagination for what sort of world was left behind by those prior civilizations. Monte Cook Games created an entire town based on this artwork called Rachid. The monument above is called the Catholith, which is believed to be the source of the whispers mentioned in the story. This story is based around the concept in Numenera Discovery and first appears on The Ninth Word , a site for fan fiction dedicated to Numenera. Enjoy!
