Chapter 1: What are the sponsorship details mentioned at the beginning?
Today's episode is sponsored in part by Quince. Hey, I'm Russ Moore, and I work at the Fable & Folly Network. Lately, I've been more intentional about what I wear day to day, leaning into pieces that feel easy, comfortable, and still put together. It just makes getting dressed simpler. Quince has been my go-to lately.
The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean, and everything just works without needing to overthink it. You know, Quince has all the wardrobe staples for spring. Think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from $34. Lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, but still look put together.
Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middleman, so you're getting premium materials without the markup. Not only clothes, which they do really well, but I've been in the market for a good utility knife, and I found one on Quince. It's the fully forged German stainless steel utility knife.
The 5-inch blade and wood handle is perfectly balanced, and I've already made this my go-to choice when prepping meals in the kitchen lately. It's got solid weight and design, and the pack of wood handle is comfortable, offering a non-slip grip that makes me feel totally in control at the cutting board. Refresh your everyday with luxury you'll actually use.

The Road of Shadows, created by Mark R. Healy, a Beyond the Dark production. Season 5, Episode 1, Lambert.
Daniel. Amber. It seems that I've reached your answering machine again. If I didn't know any better, I'd have thought you were trying to avoid me. It's Roderick here, obviously. I hope you're both keeping well since last we spoke. It's been, what, a few weeks now? Time flies. I just wanted to let you know about some new developments on my side of things.
You remember that when we left Oakwood, I intended to seek out several of our fellow Nostrama. Old friends of mine, who also happen to be scholars like myself. They all agree that there are ripples across the entire kin. A collective unease that has placed our enemies squarely on the back foot. And it seems like the most likely cause of it is, well, the two of you.
Your actions over the past few months have sent a shudder right to the very heart of their world. And that brings us to her. Now, I know that you've said previously that you still intend to hunt shadows down one by one from town to town, but I think that after hearing about my research into the Blood Monarch, I may finally be able to persuade you to see things my way.

Chapter 2: What new developments does Roderick share with Daniel and Amber?
I didn't come after you, because you weren't worth my time. You weren't then, and you aren't now.
Whatever you say. Stand back, Amber. Give me some room.
A coward. That's what I remember. Running away into the night with his tail between his legs.
Yeah. Well, times have changed. I'm not running anymore. And this one... This one's for Helen.
Hyah!
Daniel? Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. I, uh... I only wish I could have made the bastard suffer more for what he did.
Well, I could have stepped over and laid my hands on him. Let him writhe in pain as his lifeblood slowly trickled away. But I got the impression you wanted to handle this one yourself.
I did. Thanks for... giving me the time to take care of it.

Chapter 3: How does Roderick describe the Blood Monarch's significance?
I haven't figured that out yet. Maybe if I get another vision, I'll be able to narrow it down. But I do know one thing for sure. That mountain is important. Somehow, we have to find out where it is, and once we do, we need to get there.
In any case, if I have my days correct, I'm guessing you must be close to reaching your next target by now.
I wish you luck and a clean kill. Please stay safe, my friends, and do call me back when you get the chance. Goodbye.
Sounds like Roderick's been busy.
Having fireside chats about the shadows with his old pals? I wouldn't call that busy. The work we've been doing? That's another matter.
He really is transfixed with his blood monarch, isn't he?
You really think so? I mean, he only mentions her five or ten times every conversation.
So, should we call him back?
That depends on how you're feeling. How are you doing after those visions?
