Elemental Magic

Using elemental magic, a mage can conjure the elements out of magical energy. There are four traditional elements (fire, water, earth, air) and three nontraditional (ice, electric, acid). While any mage is free to cast them, elementalists are born with a natural affinity for manipulating one of the traditional elements. A nontraditional elementalists can only be achieved as an artificial mage.

## Casting and Applications

Elemental magic is available to all mages through standardized spells, and can be learned through books. When cast, the spells can sometimes cause the user's eyes to glow. Minor environmental effects during the casting depend on the element in use. Ice magic, for example, chills the air as a mage prepares to cast a spell.

Novice mages assume a stance with bent knees, elbows close to the body, and outward-facing palms to better accustom them to elemental control. With mastery of the basics, less concentration is required. Skilled elementalists can magically sharpen their attacks to pierce even solid light.

Conjured elements disappear over time.

## Elements

### Traditional Elements

* Fire
* Water
* Earth
* Air: considered the weakest element

### Nontraditional Elements

These elements were invented by the lessathi. They cannot be mastered as an elementalist unless as an artificial mage or through the stat device.They can be learned from standardized spells, but cannot be cast in quick succession.

* Ice
* Electric: generally overpowered
* Acid

## Elementalists

Elementalists are mages born with an incredible talent for manipulating one of the four traditional elements: water, air, fire or earth. They are able to cast spells of their element with a greater flexibility than nonelementalists, but otherwise, have difficulty learning spells from books or other magic outside of their specialty. It is impossible to be born with an elemental affinity for the nonconventional elements: ice, acid or electricity, but it can be achieved as an artificial mage or through a stat device.

For a regular mage to acheive the mastery of an elementalist, he would have to dedicate a lifetime to study.

Christian Vegetables

The Christian Vegetables are a trio of performers who dress as various vegetables in order to promote, to children, a healthy diet and the reading of Scripture. The cast has changed over time. At the time of the 2015 Murfreesboro City Fair Around the Square, the Christian Vegetables consisted of Cabbage (known for his strict nature), Carrot, and the Bag, Cup, or Handful Green Bean, the last being sponsored by the local business Bag, Cup, or Handful. Prior to Halloween of 2015, the Christian Vegetables were announcing their intention to engage in evangelistic vigilante actions on the streets of Murfreesboro, ripping off the costumes of young children and taking their candy in order to drive them back to the true faith. However, Coley's Snack Foods, which had been promoting its own line of Halloween snacks, bought the Christian Vegetables and made some changes, such as replacing the stern Cabbage with a more mellow, guitar-playing Cabbage, and firing Green Bean. The Christian Vegetables briefly consisted of the new Cabbage, Carrot, and Double Sugar Lump (the last being one of the flavors of Coley's Halloween treats). At last report, Green Bean was still wearing his old costume, having also been fired from Bag, Cup, or Handful, and was seeking out odd jobs in order to make ends meet until he went to the Bakken Oil Fields, where he became a champion fighter. The original Cabbage found work in still using a different cabbage suit (bought at the Glory Shelf); he would hide in children's closets at their parent's permission, and wait for the child to do sinful things, such as masturbation or consuming alcohol, and then Cabbage will spring out of the closet, sternly dressing down the child and scaring the child into asking for forgiveness. This work eventually led to his having his own television show on a local channel, using the moniker of Famous Cabbage in order to differentiate himself from his guitar-playing replacement with the Christian Vegetables. However, his show eventually became so popular that the Coley's company invited Famous Cabbage back into the fold, firing guitar-playing Cabbage, and the group is now known as Famous Cabbage and the Coley's Christian Vegetables.
2010 Campaign Ads

Ahead of the 2010 mid-term elections, Dunlap decided to get Red State Update into the "political advertisement game" and offered to make "any political ad for anybody for $120." Jackie Broyles and Dunlap subsequently released 9 campaign ads. The first 8 ads were related to upcoming elections and the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. The final ad was released after the 2010 election, and promoted a campaign to write in Aleister Crowley for the 2012 campaign for U.S. President.
Freedomfest

Freedomfest was a festival that occurred on July 4, 2015, at the compound where Soured Towels, Take 2, and Slick Sheets are located. Many events coincided on this day. For starters, Ted and Ralph, owners of the Glory Shelf, scheduled their marriage, the first gay marriage to take place in Murfreesboro, during the festival. Ted, being a Civil War reenactor, planned a wedding in which he would be dressed as General Robert E. Lee, with Ralph dressed as General Ulysses S. Grant, with many of their gay reenactor friends participating. The Third Baptist Pentecostal Church of Holiness Ghost/Hurt Bird showed up at the event, many people believing they were there to protest, though they carried no signs but instead engaged in occult chanting. After the wedding, festival goers participated in the judging of much-anticipated commercials from two locals business, Mr. Leaky and Horse Gravy, both of whom had commercials running on two different Christian television stations. (The Horse Gravy advertisement featured actor and politician Fred Thompson as the voice of the horse.) Festival organizers had set up large televisions showing both commercials, with the winner to be judged by the number of viewers situated before each. However, as both commercials were nearing their climax, Ghost/Hurt Bird appeared and snatched Ted, taking him up into the sky before dropping him on some overhead lines, knocking out cable television for the broader community but, otherwise, leaving Ted unharmed.
Mercky Shellback

Mercky and Trudy Patricia Shellback run Boat Around the Square, which features rides in Mercky's latest boat purchase, dragged by truck around the town square in Murfreesboro. Mercky is known locally for purchasing a new boat seemingly every week and dragging it around town to show off (though no one knows how he affords these boats or whether he ever actually puts them in the water), while his wife, Trudy Patricia, is popularly known for wearing a bikini and having a real talent for pointing at things. The Shellbacks are currently taking care of the baby of Trudy Patricia's sister, though as Dunlap notes, "She don't let that baby call her 'mama.'" With Dilly Mulerider's operation and the new Boat Around the Square, the town square of Murfreesboro became congested. This resulted in an apparent collision that killed Dilly Mulerider's horses. Feeling bad, Mercky Shellback invited her to become part of his touring around the square. He bought a double decker bus which featured a petting zoo on ground level, with the top being taken up with Wesley Press's Lessons 'Round the Square; the bus pulled Mercky's boat, which itself pulled Dilly's old carriage, which became the repository for animal feed and waste. The caravan is so long now that no one can get in or out of the square, which has complicated efforts to hold the new Murfreesboro City Fair, now located on land just off the square following the "troubles" of 2014. Jackie Broyles himself has complained about his inability to visit his favorite Chinese restaurant, Golden Monster, located in the area. However, the 2015 Murfreesboro City Fair was incorporated into the 'Round the Square operation
Turkey Dick

An old acquaintance of Dunlap, Curtis Henshaw, was widely known in school by the nickname of "Turkey Dick." After Dunlap took exception to the name of Mosey's Carwash, under which Henshaw first sponsored the podcast, pointing out that no one would know who "Mosey" was (and that one should not attempt to give oneself a nickname), Henshaw, apparently agreeing with this assessment, subsequently changed the name of the establishment was changed to Turkey Dick's Carwash. This, however, did not improve its fortunes, and neither did the final name change to Preston Meriwhether III's Carwash. It eventually went out of business.
Kingdom of Ischyel

The Kingdom of Ischyel is in the center of Votia and many trade ways. it has some of the richest lands and most populated. It has much of the same culture of the First Covenant Empire and was own by them for over 700 years but they follow the Free Church. They lay in a flat area sounded by mountains. to the East you have 3 small duchys of Norten in the north, vorten in the middle and Mitte in the south. to the west you have the Kingdom of Mesaia, to the north west you have Nece and сaskan to the south. all the states boarding Ischyel are all the same Culture and  language. Ischyel main rivals is Fravin mainly over the sea pass way near both of them and when Fravin metals with the near by powers.
Mr. Leaky

A plumber who has achieved local celebrity status, Mr. Leaky is best known for his long, intricate, and recently CGI-laden commercials, which often feature him venturing down a toilet to fight against whatever force might be clogging the system. He has occasionally gotten into trouble for copyright infringementon account of using such characters as the Avengers or the Minions. Some of his videos have featured extended Rap Music sequences, and Jackie rushes to the television to turn the volume down, as he is not a fan of that genre of music. In late 2014, one of his major advertisements was, ironically, leaked online. The main suspect behind this leak was local videographer Clay Sunday, and litigation on this matter is apparently continuing.
Farmboy

Farmboy is an app designed by a local programmer to give the user a sense of country live without actually having to live it. A typical Farmboy voice notification might say something like, "Time to get the hogs in the house! Farmboy!" Farmboy later branched out into a hook-up app, called Farmboyr, along the lines of Tinder or Grindr. Jackie hates Farmboy, stating on several occasions that it simply does not make sense because, according to Jackie, "Hogs should not be anywhere in the house."
Bug Spray

Bug Spray is the brand name of homemade bug spray produced by local residents Dora Birdroof and her boyfriend, Greg. They mix it up outside Dora's house in a kettle, and one purchases it by going to their residence, where they will dip up the spray in a random container. Listeners are urged specifically to connect with Dora, not Greg.
Third Baptist Pentecostal Church of Holliness God

Located in a building that sells refurbished washing machines, the Third Baptist Pentecostal Church of Holiness God is most known for celebrating an annual Anti-Halloween Lock-In. This church later renamed itself the Third Baptist Pentecostal Church of Ghost/Hurt Bird following the destruction of Murfreesboro.
Wei Yan

He is one of the generals who served Liu Bei since the start of his military career. He swore complete fealty to Liu Bei and continued to serve Shu after his lord's death. Although he was initially trusted by the Prime Minister, he became infamous for earning Zhuge Liang's ire and was killed by Ma Dai due to arguably false charges of defection. Even after his death, his defense plans of Hanzhong were still implemented, and were successful in driving out Wei many times. *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* instead portrays him as an outright villainous character with a violent betrayal streak, most likely out of Zhuge Liang's historical bias towards him.

The Medicated Table

Following on the success of Pillsauce, Flex Rankin and his wife moved on to found The Medicated Table. Customers will bring by their prescription medicines the day before and select a particular meal, and the next day they can come and enjoy the meal, which has had the medicine infused into it. Jackie Broyles made the mistake early on in believing that even a salve could be turned into a meal that might be eaten, and, as a consequence, he was left with an order of macaroni and cheese that he was rubbing into his foot beyond the expiration date of the food itself.
Xu Zhu

He is one of Cao Cao's retainers who was renowned for his strength. He was known as a profound yet quiet general who moved his lord with his loyalty. Known as a simple-minded giant yet fierce in battle, his nickname is "Tiger Fool". His nickname was so famous it often substituted for his actual name. Soon after his recruitment, Cao Cao historically praised him to be the Fan Kuai of their era. *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* is famous for claiming that his strength matched Dian Wei and heralds him as one of Cao Cao's bravest generals. His son is Xu Yi.

Goldfish Manor Pizza

Apparently Murfreesboro's version of Chuck E. Cheese's, Goldfish Manor Pizza is a child-oriented pizza parlor complete with various noisy arcade games. However, all the prizes for said games are live goldfish. According to Dunlap, recent batches of fish have been infected with the fish version of Zika virus, leading the mayor to take measures to prevent the spread of the disease, while the proprietor has offered to replace any dead fish with a new one
Husky-Wayne

Husky-Wayne, a.k.a. Skunk, sponsored the podcast for one episode in order to do nothing more than say hello to the listening audience. However, Dunlap suspected that this outburst of pleasant behavior was actually sparked by Husky-Wayne trying to get ahead of some scandal, perhaps involving child molestation. These random accusations resulted in Jackie Broyles having no sponsor for Episode 149, during which Dunlap spent much time just wondering how many people he had baselessly accused of child molestation and whether some sort of master list of these victims might be assembled.
Coley's

Coley's Snack Foods sales a variety of bagged snacks with a Bible page in every bag. The company uses prison labor for the dismantling of Bibles to put in their popular products, and some Murfreesboro residents have managed to assemble an entire Bible from eating numerous bags of the snacks. Coley's also branched out into the Christian film industry, with several movies re-dubbed and edited so that the dialogue presents an evangelical message, as well as the private prison industry.

The Coley's company began offering a carbonated beverage under the name Coley's Cola, with a bible verse on the bottom of the can or under the cap of the bottle. Meanwhile, Chip Coley, disowned by the larger family for his lavish and licentious lifestyle, started his own line of beverages, Coca-Coley's, which features two bible verses per beverage container, though these are written in such small print as to be unreadable. Moreover, one of the ingredients of Coca-Coley's is Happy Hummers Feeder Juice.
Jockey's Market

Jockey was Jackie Broyles's foremost antagonist and competitor. In fact, Jackie could never say the name of Jockey without sneering or making a disparaging comment. However, during the McKinley-Sullivan Feud, Jackie and Dunlap hid in the bunker underneath Jockey's Market, which was much more thoroughly equipped thank Jackie's. Later, during the podcast's Russian Episodes, it was revealed that, after Jackie was ousted from his position as Mayor of Murfreesboro by Ghost Hurt Bird, he was forced to take employment at Jockey's Market, where he was frequently abused and reprimanded by Jockey. This, it turned out, was a test by Jockey, who was dying of cancer and left the market to Jackie in his will with the stipulation that the name not be changed. Unwilling to live with this, Jackie made arrangements with Pinky Piglet Styron to have the market put in Styron's name as a transitional strategy, but Styron was soon running the enterprise on his own, promoting a variety of food concepts, including Cocktail Baloney, or fried baloney flipped like the drinks the Tom Cruise movie *Cocktail*. Styron even hired Tom Cruise Kenny to manage the market, but the enterprise folded when they shifted to a *Valkerie*-themed restaurant.
Old Fishfellow Inn

A disreputable hotel located on the main drag of Murfreesboro (not "off the square," as most sponsors are), the Old Fishfellow Inn, run by Maud Fishfellow, is a known hangout for prostitutes and drug users. In fact, the site has given its name to the depraved sex act of "fishfellowing," which entails one man buying the largest fish he can from Kroger, bringing it back to a hotel room, and punching it as hard as he can while three other men masturbate in the corner.
Magoichi Saika

Magoichi Saika is believed to be a moniker for the leader of the Saika Renegades, rebels who opposed Nobunaga's rise to power with Kennyo Honganji. After Kennyo's surrender, Magoichi allegedly fought at Sekigahara, became a wanderer, and obtained a government post in the Mito Domain. The real Magoichi's name and history are unclear, but many people have postulated about his true identity.

Hattie's Lotions, Creams, and Salves

Hattie is a local producer of lotions and salves whose slogan is "Nobody Can Say No to Hattie." Men as well as women have been known to use her products, which tend to be specific to body parts, such as her "rough elbow" and "scaly patch" varieties of lotion, though she also created the special "burn and pinch" penetrating lotion. After the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement, Hattie offered her "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" lotion to raise awareness of police brutality and white supremacy. She subsequently renamed all of her lotions to reflect her commitment to the protest movement: "Hands and Fingers" became "Fuck a CVS", "Rough Elbow" became "The Privileged Class's Co-Opting of Dr. King's Message Must Cease—Non-Violence Should Never Merely Equal Making White Folks Feel Comfortable", while "Scaly Patch" became "Indict the Media." "Yuletide Spice" (available year around) and "Burn and Pinch" remained the same.
You Ask 'Em

On occasion, Jackie and Dunlap will also announce a special episode of The Ole Timey Country Down Home Red State Update Podcast 'n' 'Em in which they field questions from the public on their various social media outlets. The questions do trend toward being somewhat vulgar in nature, and these episodes can spin wildly out of control, even approaching the two-hour mark at times.
Lillie-Oh Oatmilk

Lillie-Oh Oatmilk runs a subscription based local gossip and news service allowing people to keep track of the various goings-on in Murfreesboro. She has several tiers of subscription, but her news offerings, as represented by Dunlap, are severely limited and consist entirely of the following: Mayor Bane Jekyll Jr. was seen buying wax bottles of flavored sugar water late at night; the dishwashing boy at Golden Monster has apparently been getting fresh with the girl who refills the orange chicken on the buffet (a reference to the Chinese restaurant that, at last report, was closed); and Mercky Shellback, having grown accustomed to his wife's sister's baby riding in the cab with him, has adopted more small children to ride around with him in the double-decker bus.
Cobbler Gobbler

Serving a somewhat decent peach cobbler reminiscent of the kind one might buy at Kroger, the Cobbler Gobbler pales in comparison to another purveyor of peach cobbler in the Murfreesboro area, the name of which establishment remains unspoken on the Red State Update podcast on account of the owner being such a horrible person—having perhaps even murdered his cousin for the secret cobbler recipe—that he would no doubt be out of business did he not dish up the absolute best cobbler anyone has ever eaten.
Pillsauce

Flex Rankin and his wife opened Pillsauce as a way ways to incorporate one's medication into a tasty consumable. Pillsauce entailed customers bringing by medications to be incorporated into a tasty sauce; the flavors offered included baby, dog, and old person. They then moved on to found The Medicated Table. Pillsauce, which later offered a three-cheese flavor, spawned a competitor, Medicine Sauce.
Numpotown

Numpotown is a veritable fairly land (or community of hippies) located outside of Murfreesboro. Dunlap discovered it after the secessionist efforts of Wizardbeards failed, leading him to flee the police raid with a significant amount of pot in hand. He came upon Numpotown, inhabited by people called the Numpos who smoked weed in long glass pipes, drank tea, and ate jelly, as well as growing Numpoapples, which are slightly hallucinogenic. The Numpos are the sworn enemies of the Dunlaps, who live on a rocky bluff in a community called Dunlap Village. The Numpos publish a magazine called the Numpo Gazette, which is available in Dodge's General Store. At last report, hostilities between the Numpos and the Dunlaps resulted in the destruction of Numpotown, with most residents having been hit on the head with Numpoapples, which caused them to remember who they were and go back home.
Jackie's Market

Jackie's Market was originally a barbecue restaurant and convenience store owned and operated by Jackie Broyles. It had a bunker underneath that was notoriously dank and moldy, stocked with old newspapers, and it was in the bunker that the podcast was originally recorded. Dunlap regularly stole beer and complained of the age of the merchandise, observing that the Zero Bars were dated to "three fonts ago" and speaking of having to wipe the dust off the Zero Bars. Jackie typically eschewed movie and television tie-in displays; the last he ever put up was for the television show China Beach.

Crud, owner of Spiffy Uncle Marlin's Haircuts and Handshakes, intended to turn Jackie's Market into a regional franchise but was killed during the Jackie Strangler Saga. The High-Priced Nashville Lawyers for whom Jackie had signed paperwork during his brief business affiliation with Crud later took over his store, renaming it Nashville Lawyers' Market. Jackie was revealed to be working at the Nashville Lawyers' Market in Episode 208. He had been hired on to do what was essentially his old job of cooking barbecue and running the cash register, though he also was required occasionally to make copies for the lawyers (and also wear a tie at work). The lawyers were planning on tearing down the market and building a new place at which customers could receive legal counsel and Nashville hot chicken. Jackie, in a bid to prevent this, had announced his candidacy for mayor, intending, upon his election, to declare the market a historic site on the basis of a beam in the structure dating back to before the American Civil War. Once Jackie was elected, however, he did not put up a fight against the destruction of the store. After he was ousted by Ghost Hurt Bird, he was forced to work at Jockey's Market until the death of Jockey, at which point he inherited the market but was not legally able to change the name. He subsequently entered into a complex legal arrangement with Pinky Piglet Styron in order to secure a change to the name of the businesses but ended up in primarily a subservient role, often unpaid. In the meantime, Dunlap ended up in possession of another business called Jackie's Market, originally created in the likeness of the original but, under Dunlap's management, offered hand jobs in the back. Jackie originally refused to consider working there, but once Dunlap eliminated the hand jobs, Jackie put in the occasional hour there until the death of lawyer Styron, at which point Styron's daughter, Pinky Piglet Styron Jr., hired Jackie to be the public face of a Jackie's Market chain that now includes a lot of branch businesses, including Jackie's for Dogs, and owns Longhorn's Dance Parlor.
Christmas Cave

A well-known Murfreesboro attraction around Christmastime. It is a cave into which visitors descend for some combination of food and entertainment, though they have to sign a form forbidding them from talking about what they have experienced. When he was a child, Dunlap was prevented from attending on account of his girth, as there was a narrow opening into the cave (it has since been widened). The cave was closed following a 2010 incident in which three Sunday school kids (who belonged to the Fourth Holiness Church of Jesus Vision on the Cross Banned on Stage, Little McMinnville) were lost in Christmas Cave. Two of the children were recovered about a year later; having apparently gone feral and adapted to the dark, they were blind and uncommunicative and, consequently, had to be put into a special home, though one of them has since recovered and is reportedly in a pre-med program. The third child had not been seen until late 2015, though rumors persisted that he remained down there. Indeed, one week after Jackie first featured Christmas Cave as a sponsor, he had to announce that it was closing again, for reasons unknown. Persistent rumors continued to allege that the third child still roamed the cave and could be heard shrieking and seen attempting to sabotage the pulley system. In response, the owners of Christmas Cave hired some detectives from Memphis, Tennessee, as well as some foreign mercenaries, to explore the cave and track down the source of the problem, though they did not confirm publicly that they were seeking the third feral Holiness child. However, they did make contact with the child, who was apparently able to communicate that he wanted some of the money made by the Christmas Cave operation, and so he became now a featured component of Christmas Cave, being kept in a cage at the entrance. However, as was reported in Episode 205, Christmas Cave was later purchased by an India-based mining company and had been reduced to a gravel pit; it was in this pit that the bodies of eleven or twelve Jackie lookalikes were found during October 2016.
Half-Lessathi

The Half-Lessathi are a hybridized species between the Lessathi and Humans. They have the unique capabilities of the Lessathi, but have a stronger magical aura than most Lessathi.

## Introduction

Half-Lessathi are outcast from Lessathi society, so most of them live with humans. If either the mother or father of the child have any Lessathi blood in them, a Half-Lessathi is conceived. The only known Half-Lessathi in the story are Barry and Melindra. It is unlikely that there are any more Half-Lessathi because it is illegal in Lessathi culture to interbreed with Humans.

## Appearance

Like the Lessathi, Half-Lessathi are completely identical to Humans in appearance. However, the magic in their aura is weaker than that of humans but not completely absent like with full Lessathi.

## History

We do not know much of Half-Lessathi history. We know that somewhere more than 600 years prior to the events of the tournament, Melindra was conceived between a Lessathi and a Human. Who her parents are is unknown, so is their fate and what her childhood was like.
28-29 years before the events of the story, we know that Barry was conceived between a Lessathi woman and a human man. We know that the Lessathi woman was the sister of Meredith and that she helped them flee to the Western Continent. The fate of Barry's parents is very vague, and we only know they died in some way or another. Barry ended up adopted by Jonathan and Helen, who tragically also died to their daughter Claire when she became possessed by a banshee.
Both Barry and Melindra end up in the same place in Varathia during the events of the mage tournament.

## Attributes

### Low-Magic Aura

Half-Lessathi have less magic in their aura than humans, but still have some magic meaning that they can theoretically cast magic. Their auras also allow them to make full use of the stat device's capabilities just like regular Lessathi, as well as the magical stats due to having enough magic to utilize it.

### Connection to the Magium

Half-Lessathi at least seem to have at least a similar connection to the Magium as regular Lessathi. When Barry approaches the Magium node he seems to be revealed more knowledge than a normal human would see. It's unclear whether this is because of his Lessathi blood, or just something normal than Magium nodes do when touched by any species.

### Others

* Resistance to sleep spells
* Partial resistance to paralysis and electric spells

Jason

Jason is an Ethereal Artificial Mage, and the older brother of Diane.

## Appearance

While he was captive at the Beacon of Hope, Jason was in his late teens. He was dressed in rags and wore a lessathi collar around his neck to restrict his magic. He had short blond hair, an unimpressive overall physique, and a more mature look in his eyes than one would expect from a boy of his age.

## Personality

Jason believes that being overly trustful only leads to inevitable betrayal. Diane claims that he's never trusted anyone in his life, especially lessathi. The only exceptions are Diane and Meridith. Even if the world betrayed them, he promised he would stay true to his sister. On the other hand, he sees Meridith as a means to an end, as his key to the heart of lessathi affairs.

## History

### Beacon of Hope

Jason and his younger sister, Diane, were born as orphaned, Varathian children. When the lessathi of the Beacon of Hope learned that they were Ethereals, they were taken in as experimental subjects. There, magical circuits were injected into their bodies in a painful, risky procedure. The two of them were among the few successful experiments. As powerful artificial mages, they were recruited into the lessathi's elite bodyguard. Before they were assigned, Jason promised Diane that he would stay true to her to the end, even if the world betrayed them.

During his work, he rarely exchanged words with the lessathi that he escorted on a regular basis. The only one he acknowledged was Meridith, the second-in-command whom he believed had the potential to change the lessathi world for the better. Although Both Jason and Diane had been promoted, they were still kept in cells at the Beacon, and dressed in rags and collars that restricted their magic use. He and Diane made it their goal to be free of this nightmare, to live the rest of their lives in peace with Kate, Diane's best friend at the Beacon.

Four years after their assignment as bodyguards, the Beacon of Hope shut down due the loss of funding for the lack of results. Kate and the rest of the reject children were teleported into the wilderness and left to die. Jason and Diane continued to support Meridith, who later became the leader of the lessathi after the death of the previous leader, Lord Heksol.

## Abilities

Jason has magical capabilities as an artificial mage. It is unknown what they are, but as an ethereal, he would be incredibly powerful.

Slick Sheets

A local attraction similar to a Slip and Slide, but using a mixture of oil and water, Slick Sheets is managed by one "Slick" Sheets and located on a hill just off the square. Kids can slide down the front of the hill, while moms slide down the back in a somewhat slower and more sexy fashion. "Slick" Sheets will adjust the mixture of oil and water to the mom's desire and he encourages the mothers to slide down chest first. Afterwards, he may interview some of the mothers.
Frog Day

Frog Day is a celebration inaugurated by Mayor Bane Jekyll Jr. following the events of 2016's Baby Biscuit Day competition, which is now the last such competition. The winner of the contest was a baby dubbed "Hippy Biscuit Baby" by Jackie on account of the child's parents having refused to vaccinate him, instead applying Dr. Birdlady's herbal salve. At the end of the contest, Ghost Bird, according to many eyewitnesses, swooped down and carried the child over to the swamps at the end of Biscuit Alley. Pretty much everyone in attendance was reluctant to venture down there to try to rescue the baby on account of the reputation of Biscuit Alley, but soon, marching forth from the swamps, could be seen Green Bean, founder of Frog Church, holding the child and followed by his army of frogs. The mayor, in response, declared that Frog Day would be celebrated two days hence and ordered everyone in town to buy a frog and take it down to the swamps to release it.
Hadrik

> "*My name is Hadrik, but my friends call me 'the dwarf'. I came to this tournament for only one reason: to test my strength against the strongest mages of the world!*"
> ― Hadrik
>
>

Hadrik is one of the main character in Magium. He is a Giant from the Northern Continent who was involved in the war with the Dwarves, but chose to transform and live with the Dwarves after being seen a traitor for hesitating to kill the Dwarven youth.

## Appearance

In his dwarf form, Hadrik appears as a dwarf in his mid-40s, often with a big grin and jolly laughter resembling a friendly tavern owner's. He usually wears a leather armor and boots, and has a black beard that reaches down to his chest. In his giant form, his clothing and appearance are similar but he grows to a height of 50-ft with the body proportions of a human, rather than the shorted legs of a dwarf.

## Personality

Hadrik has a carefree attitude to life, often wearing a grin on his face, cracking jokes in the face of danger, and enjoying dwarven ale whenever a chance arises. He makes friends easily and wants to see others getting along, which is why he is often quick to propose group activities, such as card games. Having giant blood in his veins, Hadrik has an innate love for the excitement of battle and is always eager to challenge a strong warrior.

## History

Hadrik is a giant from the Northern Continent. Fifty years ago, while the war between the giants and dwarves still waged, Gontrok and his other giant friends convinced him to push a boulder into a civilian, dwarven village by lying to him that it was hiding soldiers. Ashamed of his actions, Hadrik left his clan and tracked down the relatives of the dwarves he'd killed, and even stayed to raise some of their orphaned children. Since then, he'd spent the majority of his time drinking with dwarves in their taverns and picking up their mannerisms along the way. After travelling in search of adversaries for years, he joined the tournament as a dwarf for the sole purpose of testing his strength against the strongest mages in the world.

Dunlap Village

Dunlap Village is the ancestral home of the Dunlaps and is located on a rocky crag above Numpotown. Dunlap believes that they are his ancestors and describes the inhabitants as "tricksters, thieves, and wine guts," adding that they all resemble Danny DeVito at a Renaissance Faire. Dunlap's Father is apparently the leaders of the Dunlaps. At last report, the Dunlaps were planning to build a Snuffy Smith Theme Park.
Sponsor Bracket

In response to an offhand comment made by Dunlap during Episode 174] about setting up some kind of March Madness bracket in which the various sponsors of the podcast compete against each other, listener DJ Bowles created such a bracket featuring the following sponsors: Tee Tee Slott, Gracesayers, Fox-Faced Cats, Wizardbeards, Longhorns Dancin Parlor, Dollar Cart, Hose Water, Pillsauce, Mr. Slaw, Snake Bells, Bug Spray, Pre-Greeters, 3 Sticks of Candy, I Go Heaven, Dom Podge Tax Wiz, Old Fish Fellow Inn, Dr. Birdman/Lady, Thickset Pants, Rooster Curtains, Snakeheads 2, Bag Cup or Handful, Old Books, Peanut Pockets, Kitty Pillows, Wet Breads, Cobbler Gobbler, Horse Gravy, The Glory Shelf, Skunky's, Farmboy’er, Coley's Christian Cinema, and Jickies. Listeners and viewers were encouraged to vote in the bracket, which started in March 2016 and went on through April 2016, with elimination rounds taking place each week. Of course, as Jackie and Dunlap observed throughout the competition, Mr. Slaw was never technically a sponsor, but Jackie announced his intention in Episode 179 to pay for a sponsor slot for Mr. Slaw so that he would not be in the violation of any rules of the bracket. Mr. Slaw appeared in Episode 180, recorded on April 17, 2016, when it was also announced that he lost in the competition against Tee Tee Slot (although this information was kept from Mr. Slaw, who never really understood what the bracket was in the first place). As a result, the first ever sponsors of the podcast, Tee Tee Slot and Dr. Birdlady, faced off against each other, with Tee Tee Slot being announced the victor in Episode 181.

The Waiting Room

This is a waiting room-themed restaurant developed by Carly Vornado, who was long known for hanging out in the waiting rooms of various Murfreesboro doctors, apparently developing her restaurant idea. Jackie Broyles claimed that the ambience was exactly that of a doctor's office waiting room, saying, "If it weren't for the food, you'd think you was sick!" The Waiting Room later rented out space for local doctors who could no longer afford their own waiting rooms due to Obamacare restrictions.
Western Continent

The Western Continent is one of the world's four major continents, and home to humans and several other civilized races.

## Introduction

The Western Continent is named for its cardinal location. This name was termed after the four continents discovered each other's existences. Their previous, separate names were discarded in favor of convenience.

Some areas of the west are forested, with isolated villages. The nobles live in richer cities. Quail eggs with ham and Bagelberry cheese is a famous dish eaten by a select few nobles. The Bagelberrys are one of the noble families.

This continent is populated primarily by humans, along with a number of other civilized races.

## Inhabitants

The sage of the west is Azarius, a generalist. He has held the title for over thirty years and is considered the face of the continent.

* **Humans**

Two Horse Podcast

The end of Episode 168] featured Travis and Jonathan talking in the characters of two horses. The YouTube version of the podcast featured only a picture of two horses and the words "Two Horse Podcast." The characters talked about the travails of being talking horses. Many listeners felt that the two actors behind the podcast had produced this segment in a drug-induced state; coincidentally, the title of the episode was "On Something." The duo revisited these characters, named Horse No. 1 (Harmon) and Flyskin (Shockley), for the entirety of Episode 200, which was presented as if it were the 200th episode of a production titled "Two Horse Podcast."
Miss Phillips' Kitty Pillows

Miss Phillips began selling what she called "kitty pillows," which were pillows with pictures of cats on them. These pillows were intended for humans, rather than cats, but people bought them thinking that they were pillows to be used by pets. Unfortunately, the materials used in the pillow construction were toxic to cats, and some animals reportedly died. Miss Phillips issued a clarification of the intended usage and began manufacturing plain, colored pillows, with no cat pictures, to be used by animals—at least, healthy animals with no prior medical conditions. The Murfreesboro Museum later had an exhibit on the infamous Kitty Pillows, though Miss Phillips was unable to attend it on account of having been run out of town by furious pet owners. Miss Phillips later crafted pillows to be sent to the southern border of the United States to comfort refugee children there. She was later in a relationship with Dom Podge.
Glory Shelf

The Glory Shelf was a Christian supply store managed by Ted and Ralph, who are assumed by Dunlap to be a gay couple. The name of the business may refer to the sexual slang term glory hole. Ted and Ralph later split up due to differing opinions regarding the McKinley-Sullivan Feud, with Ralph founding his own establishment, He Touched Me Books and Balloons. However, they later came back together following the destruction of Murfreesboro.
Week of Resistance

Between January 30, 2017 and February 3, 2017, Red State Update aired on a daily basis, with Jackie and Dunlap motivated to change temporarily to a daily schedule as a result of Donald Trump's January 27, 2017 executive orders on immigration. During the week, the who discussed such news items as the firing of Sally Yates, Trump's hostile phone call with Malcolm Turnbull, the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court, and more. During this time, the pair had two sponsors:

* As Good As A Chair. Burt Perkins, a good friend of Jackie, runs this business, which sells items that can be sat upon, like chairs, but does not sell chairs himself. Items sold that are claimed to be as good as a chair include, buckets, barrels, bean bags, box fans, and a mattress. Dunlap argued that a bed mattress should be in a bed store. In the back is a section of the store called "Same As An Ashtray."
* New Spaghetti. Heather Purtle and her sister, Kayjak, launched New Spagetti with the catchphrase "All Will Be Revealed." Dunlap was coy about whether this was even a food product, much to Jackie's frustration. The product underwent some transformation during the week, with there being a parallel New Spaghetti Ultra also launched. Too, the product changed its name to Old Spaghetti after New Spaghetti seemed to be siding against taxicab workers going on strike in protest of Trump's executive orders. However, the name changed back to New Spaghetti the following day, and after that, it became New Spaghetti Crystal.

During this week-long series of podcasts, each episode ended with Bill Berrynutt and the Talking Christmas Gift singing a duet, although Berrynutt, apparently due to his advancing case of Christmas Disease, becoming increasingly insensible and seeming to be in pain. By Episode 224, the Talking Christmas Gift was left singing along and gently weeping.
Tee Tee Slott

Tee Tee Slott was originally a prostitute advertising her sexual services to the Murfreesboro community. However, she soon left prostitution and soon moved into childcare, setting up a mobile daycare in a van. When that failed, she moved into the beverage business, hiring other former prostitutes to produce such drinks as Slott Soda, Slott Water, and Slott Juice (which originally came in the following flavors: Grape, Apple, Grape-Apple, Pink, and Clear), as well as seasonal beverages such as Slott Cider and Slott Nog. She also branched out into the movie rental business with Slott Box (her version of Redbox) and a Halloween haunted house, filled with prostitutes in old dresses, called Tee Tee Slott's Horror House, which was later transformed into a brothel as Tee Tee had leased the old house past Halloween. Due to her position with the Murfreesboro Bottled Water Association, Tee Tee Slot was able to oust the Mayor of Murfreesboro due to his dereliction of duty in the face of the ongoing McKinley-Sullivan Feud. However, she was ousted, in turn, by the founder of Hosewater.
