A strange and distant land is in turmoil; a war has broken out, and the people of the Seven Kingdoms ™ are split down the middle. On one side is the vicious and beautiful Queen Kallaigh* of Codpiece* and her legion of Codpiecean Knights of Oridge* and Dark Creatures and Half Elves; on the other is the alliance of Wallicha*, Los Meados*, Merde* and Sovereigns*. But with Baudville* and Hossier* under Kallaigh*’s control, and the lands of Merde* taken by the marauding Goblins of Kallaigh*, for how long can the forces of good hold out? Especially now that King Rickman the Sarcastic* and his General Baudicea of Delryn* have disappeared…
Enter now the Half Elves Rizzo* and Bear*, recently run out of Baudville* for behaviour best left undiscussed, and deposited straight into the Dismai* port in Sovereigns*. One is a drunk and the other is a pot head and together neither are capable of more than disturbingly accurate commentary. Add to the mix an excitable and lamentably moral young woman, a mysterious assassin with No Name, a sleazy Mage with a disgraced reputation, a young Bard with a passable voice and accurate wit, and an excitable Jindo with no sense of social proprietary, and one is sure to have the time of one’s life.
Enjoy the story.

About Pods of Truth
Pods of Truth follows the adventures of Rizzo and Bear the Half Elves as they land in Sovereigns, in the capital city of Dismai. Once there, they meet the impressionable young female Half Elf Merri and her strange companion; a dark Half Elf male that dresses in black and whose face is always covered. Known simply as No Name or ‘Oi, you there’, the foursome are joined by two Humans, a Bard named Strut who refuses to say where his is from and a Mage called Sebastian Von Evilton-McNasty.
Hunted by the authorities for terrible crimes against the Crown of Sovereigns and humanity, Sebastian must use the group in order to find the fabled Pods of Truth; the ancient and mystical set of Golden Testicles that must always tell the truth. With the help of the wrinkled Yam Bags, Sebastian hopes he will be cleared of all charges, and the tarnished name of Von Evilton-McNasty will once again be spoken of with reverence.
