The Most Dangerous Games | Stormlight Archive RPG Actual Play Podcast | Knights of Desolation Ep. 10

Like the waters near the shore of Sesemalex Dar, even Lightday festivities have their crests and troughs. One crest: the party crashes a wedding and still somehow manages to blend in. A trough: getting a little too comfortable with new people and playing music really loudly when Luka isn’t a trained musician. We try not to judge, but you typically expect to see a musicspren or two nod along in harmony whenever a tune is played. As Kalak is to judgement, they are to music… and silence is not a great verdict. This episode peers into Roshar’s version of a carnival, with fun rides and games to match. Hopefully this fantasy world takes safety measures very seriously — though in a world used to the dangers of desolations and the highstorms that rage across the earth, a shoddy carnival ride might rank low on the danger scale. Let’s hope the fun of the fair is a crest: relaxing, despite attracting attention and trouble. But as we discover Nazir’s weakness, see creepy figures moving through alleys, and inspect a sketchy building catering to shady customers, who’s to say this troupe won’t find some more of those danger-loving troughs? And to whom can any of these events be attributed? The fun-loving middle-aged Herdazian? The sheltered and naive Horneater? Or even the tired warrior-scholar of Makabakam and Alethela? Find out, this week on Knights of Desolation!
