Second Citadel - The Head of the Janus Beast (Part 1) is the ninth episode of the first season of The Penumbra Podcast and the first episode of the Tales of the Second Citadel series. It was released July 5, 2016.

Overview[]

Sir Marc and Sir Talfryn of Second Citadel aren’t technically knights. They do all the knightly things, sure – killing monsters, saving the innocent, bickering about breakfast meats – the only problem is that the other knights don’t agree that they’re… y’know, knights.

So what are a pair of free lancers to do? Get some respect, of course! Take down a monster so big that the Knights of the Crown have to let them join! The Janus Beast is gruesome, but Marc and Talfryn have dealt with monsters before. It’s the threats they aren’t prepared for that might tear these brothers apart for good.

Trigger Warnings[]

  • Death and violence
  • Armed fighting

Trivia[]

  • This episode arc was intended to be a one-shot, like previous episodes in Season 1 such as Shaken or The Coyote of the Painted Plains. When planning Season 2 of The Penumbra Podcast, writer Kevin Vibert and director Harley Takagi Kaner decided to expand upon the world of the Second Citadel and continue the series as a main storyline of Season 2.[citation needed]
