Aþæanuka - 95th day of Bäkkos, 5th year of the Vær, 101st GenerationThe journey to the Skundr begins.

This week on the 11th Hour Audio Podcast we’re featuring an episode of Counterbalance, an immersive high fantasy audio drama presented in a found-footage style.

The story follows three unlikely companions traveling across the mountain Skundr to repair a tear in the magical Weave that holds their world together. As spirits escape and chaos spreads across the mountain, they must learn to work together to mend the damage before their own conflicts make things worse.

The series follows a modern human suddenly stranded in a bronze-age-like world of magic, spirits, and non-human cultures, documenting the journey while searching for answers about what happened to the other humans who arrived in this world with her.
