The Pensive Tower is a weekly high fantasy podcast, following the collected stories of the people who live in the Five Seas Federation and beyond. Join the newly appointed Inscriber, Paxton Ferox, as he works his way through the memories that have been donated to the Tower over the years following the mysterious Dark Age, converting them to the audio format of the newly invented mnimigraph, and supplementing them with any follow up that might have been reported in the intervening years.
Some of the memories are of danger, some of romance or life changing encounters or even rediscovering that which was thought forgotten. And together they begin to form an outline of a greater story being told, if only someone can read it.
