In our 29th episode of News from the Breach we discuss chapters 5 & 6 of Book Stars: “Moonless Night” and “Moment of Truth”.

Viren the spider 🕷️ becomes Viren the fly 🪰, or was it that way all along 🕸️? We dive deep into this episode! We talk Nature vs. Nurture, trolly problems and the ethics of the truth. We even have a couple of Easter eggs, and don’t forget all the cuteness 🫂.

Corrections

• We meant “The Last of Us”, not the television series “This Is Us” 😬
• Ceilidh was referring to Vah Naboris (the Divine Beast in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild), not to Vah Ruta 🙊

  • Fen’s name origin is a popular community joke. Starting off as “Fake Gren” in the notes of the writing team, due to being the person who interacted with Amaya while Gren resided inside a dungeon, his name eventually turned into “Fen” and remained that way until made official.
