In this climactic culmination of the Ishmael series, we ask the question : how do we transform an entire society?
Ishmael doesn't give us the "10 Simple Steps to Save the World" instead, he offers us a map and compass to navigate our intergenerational civilizational transformation ourselves. Where we go from here is up to us.
We'll meet the fantastical Prince who first concocted the criminal justice system, have a final reckoning with our Taker Mythology hat, and return to the abandoned land of Ashbourne.
Thank you to Honan and Dylan for their voice acting.
