Elder Scrolls Novels – “The Infernal City” and “Lord of Souls” (with Gretchen) – Spin-Offs Classic

In this two part set of podcasts we discuss the pair of canonical novels set in the Elder Scrolls universe written by Gregg Keyes, The Infernal City and Lord of Souls. These novels both tell one contained story split across both volumes and they serve as a bridge between the events of The Elder Scrolls: IV Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

When a floating city crosses the skies of Tamriel killing everything in its path, our protagonists Annaïg and Mere-Glim infiltrate the infernal city and get caught up in a deadly game of Kitchen Nightmares. Elsewhere, Prince Attrebus Mede and his dunmer companion Sul track the city by land looking for a solution to their problems.

We talked with Gretchen about both of these books on two separate occasions, about 5 months apart. But now with the power of these being old episodes of a podcast, you can listen to them both back to back!

These books are available on most e-reader sites and are available as brilliantly performed audio books wherever you get audio books.

These episodes originally released March 13th and August 22nd of 2023. Also, we usually don’t post Soundcloud links but due to some copyright issues with music used in the episode, the 1st of the two episodes is no longer on some streaming platforms.

Daniel is a podcast producer and musician who spends way too much time in the edit to make audio sound as good as possible. He’s cutting the “umms” and “uhhhs” and replacing them with cartoon sound effects. His taste in video games is often extremely specific, and he’s recently learned that a lot of his opinions about video games are bad and wrong, but that won’t stop him from having them. His music was featured in Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. He's been producing podcasts since 2021.
