In the middle part of the 17th century, the astronomer, Oswalt Karll Leippoldt, debuts his newly minted telescope at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor. To the irritation of Leippoldt, the monarch is disinterested in his invention, and is further distracted by the arrival of a stranger to the court – one Doctor Vallentin Vysarius. A masterful magician, his illusions capture utterly the attentions of the young emperor to the exclusion of almost all else. So, when the astronomer spies a massive object on a crash course with the Imperial Palace, his warnings go ignored by all but the court jester. With the help of the clown, Leippoldt must fight to win back his favor in court, to defeat the mysterious magician, and to save the empire from certain doom.

THE SPECTRAL CITADEL SERIES II, EPISODE 2: The Curse of the Mystic Mandrake!

The Mandrake – little is known about this vilified vegetal phenomenon. Famous for its disturbingly human-like figure – and its status as a long-standing favorite of sorcerers and sorceresses alike –there is more myth than fact about this legendary root. In our modern world of sprawling cityscapes and Celebrity Squares, we have little time for the mystery and the magic that has so fascinated us in centuries passed. Now aspiring writer, Roger Blackwell, is about to learn that ignorance is not the same as innocence, that everything has its price, and that dangerous things, though forgotten, are dangerous things still. . . The year? 1975. The place? That occult and twisted realm that we call – the Spectral Citadel!

Greece-Ancient Athens, to be precise: Motherland of modern medicine. Originators of the Olympics. They provided our forefathers with a template for a democratic society and bestowed art and architecture of unequaled elegance to the world. But tonight, our cast of characters gather to celebrate a different cultural achievement,without which this show would not be possible: the theatre. Yet tonight's episode is neither tragedy nor comedy, but a murder mystery: a Socratic whodunnit? set amongst the ribald revelry of a symposium celebrating playwright Anarchimedes's triumph of tragic drama. But when conversation turns from the dewy allure of a chin not yet ravaged by the beard of pubescence to the sudden deaths of party guests, philosopher Pantaleon takes the lead in cracking the case. And you,too, listeners, can play detective alongside him in this week's edition of THE SPECTRAL CITADEL.

Long ago and in the frozen realm of Styria, a young girl journeys to commence a contract of service within the ragged and ancient Castle Draskovic -- there to cater to the whims of that fortress's mistress, the Baroness Eleonora.

Caught within the inescapable net of the siblings' furious rivalry, Greta finds a wolf in every shadow, a threat in every glance, and the terrible truth behind an ancient curse on the crumbling House of Drakovic.

Clarence Kenby, fey, shy, an amateur folklorist, is about to enter the polished wood and plush carpeted world of these buttoned-up aristocrats and expose the diablory hidden behind its heavy oaken doors. But will this student of the occult learn secrets more dread and terrible than he had bargained for? Or will London's Mephistophelian upper echelon learn a far grimmer lesson? On this episode episode of Spectral Citadel we'll lead you on a one way journey into a lurid world of damnable diabolics and nefarious old gods that won't stay dead.
