11: Actual Play: Fate of Daya: The Clothes Maketh The Man..
This is a story about heroes. No, that’s too much. This is a story about what it takes to make a hero. Welcome to Erset La Tari, the Land of No Return!
This strange and mysterious realm teeters ever on the verge of disaster, barely having survived the apocalyptic world curses! But from the ashes rose the Treaty of Budan and the nations of La Tari achieved a hard won peace. The starving were fed, calamitous war averted and a safe and prosperous zone established. But there were those who opposed the treaty- who chafed at silken shackles of peace. Villains who sought power at the expense of the land’s very survival! These vile ne'er do wells found power in the study of dark magicks and used their martial prowess to enslave their neighbours- forcing them to toil under a repressive yoke to further their selfish hunger for dark esoteric knowledge. So vast became the gap between the power of these villains and those of the forces of peace that the nations were forced to once again band together commissioning a fellowship of heroes, of champions, to meet the crisis head-on. Each a master of their respective art, willing and ready to meet these wicked casters in battle if and when the need arose.
This is a story of heroes and what it takes to make a hero. So turn back ye faint of heart! For I tell no word of a lie: Shit gets fucked really fast!
All seems well in Daya and the war is finally going the right way! Daya’s Army and it’s allies are marching to the destruction of the warlords who have plagued the land for almost a century. Hope is in the air, a new future just on the horizon… nothing could possibly go wrong.
Welcome to our vibrant world where gods have abandoned mortals and an intriguing adventure awaits you.
Uncover the secrets of the city of Daya together with our exceptional players - Cameron, Gemma, and Jack and, our amazing GM, Dylan (Kier is also present).
Follow us as we navigate through Daya’s bustling streets and uncover the city's complex dynamics.
We introduce Jack's character, a gentleman in patchwork armour with an intriguing morning ritual and a peculiar fixation on barrels. Meet Gemma’s character, a half-nix, ex merc, member of the Moon Shields! And Cameron’s character! A noble son from the lands to the west, down on his luck and forced to thieve to feed his need for fine clothes!

We, here at No Return, are returning to our roots!
As some of you may know, Erset La Tari; The Land of No Return, began life as a 'homebrew' Table Top Role Playing Game (TTRPG) setting.
Thanks to the immense talents of Dylan Smith (GM of Hearthfire Tales, as well as the voice of Sergeant Gavin Fern and Niillas Janicek on No Return) we are able to bring No Return to you in the form of a TTRPG Actual play.
Co- Gamemastered by Dylan and Kier Zhou and played by the recognisable vocal talents of Jack (Tommo), Gemma (Ysenda, Thae Oraen & Cinnte) and Cameron (Amghar, Jyce Inacio, and the new voice of Deky and Ayelen). We are truly excited to bring the world of No Return to you in a more improvised, player led and spontaneous format where the players decisions and the whims of the dice will decide 'The Fate of Daya'.

Ru - Girunduu Tal- Kier Zhou Lorrin- Matthew Zhou Written and produced by Kier Zhou
The Ansa Enclave is set on the eastern edge of the North Hub, well outside of the safe zone and deep into the Wildland. Ansa has been seen as vital to the fight against the Wilds for generations, but as Emedu and the wider safe zone de-stabilise, the implications for Ansa could be catastrophic.
There is no requirement to listen to the Ansa Enclave before any other story but characters and events in this story will intersect with the others later.
This story follows Lucca, as she is transferred to the Investigations Department, where she navigates a new culture and a peculiar boss.
We are also introduced to Dockmaster Matthias Alaric as he navigates the macabre demands of his employment alongside his hopes for his children.

I am not going to clog up the No Return feed with all this crazy worldbuilding, but for those who are interested:
The Lore of No Return will have it's own feed where I nerd out in detail (but not too much detail!) about Erset La Tari and the No Returniverse more generally.
If you hate it, fear not! I won't be dropping more of it on here!

Except for Kerren Nadar who was played by the sagacious Stuart Bullock…. But wait… Kerren Nadar? The Lernian? He wasn’t in this was he? The name is familiar but did the character show up? Hmmm… probably a post credit scene then right?
Is it because my Dad doesn't know how to pronounce the 'Y' in Elyra?
No! It references an ancient Halfling Fable from long before the Fall...
And also because Dad doesn't know what ys are for... things can be multiple things... okay?
Enjoy!

Wow, the 'old fashioned approach' really is much easier to follow. But... I mean... dead men showing up contrary to every rule in the book.. selective memory from the prime suspect... I'm not buying it.
Wide-End, set in the West of the Capitol Sada Emedu in the weeks and months after the start of the rebellion. As the old wealth and power holders become less secure in their futures and, the downtrodden and forgotten seek new opportunities to rise- they collide and coalesce around the wealthy borough of Wide-End.
These events occur before the arrival of the Barque in 1: The Orillian Regiment & 1: The Steg.
There is no requirement to listen to the stories in season order but characters from this story will appear later in others and so it wouldn't hurt to start your exploration of the city here.
