In this intimate Fireside Chat, Lou steps into the boots of Aurora — a grounded farmer swept into the fantastical world of Albion. Across Sessions 2–4, we explore her resistance to magic, her fierce loyalty to home, and the emotional toll of being torn from everything she knows.

From the dismantling of her dungarees to divine encounters in a chapel, Aurora wrestles with identity, autonomy, and the weight of prophecy. Lou shares raw reflections on consent, faith, and the quiet ache of homesickness — revealing a character who’s not just surviving Albion, but slowly being transformed by it.

Whether you’re here for the lore, the psychology, or the storytelling magic, this episode is a must‑listen.
