Send us a Text Message.Arianne Martell and conspirators try to spirit Myrcella Baratheon away in order to crown her Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Their plot is foiled by Areo Hotah - who ambushes them and kills Arys Oakheart. Mackelly and Simon will miss the big guy.Chapter Review:Princess Arianne Martell and a handful of her closest friends wait at an abandoned holdfast for Ser Arys Oakheart and Princess Myrcella Baratheon. The rendezvous is the start of a long journey across Dorne. At the end of the journey, Arianne plans to crown Myrcella as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. While they wait, her friend Garin shares news of the sighting of Arianne's brother Quentyn Martell in Planky Town seeking passage across the Narrow Sea. This only affirms Arianne's suspicions that Quentyn seeks the aid of the Golden Company to steal Arianne's birthright. With the new queen of the Seven Kingdoms on her side, and the support of the vast majority of the Dornish, Arianne will be sure to foil any of her brother's plans.When Ser Arys and Princess Myrcella arrive, Aryanne explains to Myrcella that Myrcella is the rightful queen and that Tommen has fallen in with bad advisors who have robbed her of her birthright. A confused Myrcella decides not to push the issue. The group leave for the Greenblood. Garin's family will meet them and take them up the river toward their destination.After a long, hot trip they arrive at the meeting point and find the boat where it should be. However, as they approach Aero Hotah steps onto the deck. Prince Doran's Captain of Guard tells them to stand down or all but the princesses must die. Most drop their weapons and yield. Ser Arys charges the boat and is cut down by bolts and ultimately Aero's axe. Arianne notices that Myrcella sobs into blood-covered hands before looking up at Areo. How did her father know? Areo responds that someone told. Someone always tells.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Arys Oakheart - Knight of the Kingsguard tasked with protecting Myrcella in Dorne.Princess Arianne Martell - Princess of Dorne.

Simon and Mackelly worry about their venomous bite.Chapter Review:Areo Hotah, the Captain of Guards for Prince Doran Martell, bars Obara Sand's way, as she attempts an unscheduled visit with her uncle Doran.

She will lead a host to Old Town while her sister Nymeria follows the Kingsroad with the other host. Doran says he'll think on the matter.When Obara storms out, Doran announces it's time to leave the Water Gardens and return to Sunspear.

She wants the heads of Tywin, Jaime, and Cersei Lannister, along with King Tommen's. Doran asks her to be patient. She will not.Upon entering Sunspear, the populace is in an uproar, calling for vengeance. Inside the palace, he's first greeted by his daughter Arianne, but then met by Tyene Sand in the throne room.

When Tyene is gone, Doran commands Areo to round up all eight of the Sand Snakes and confine them to a palace tower.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Areo Hotah - Captain of Guards for Prince Doran Martell.Doran Martell - Prince of Dorne.

Tibor Rutar is the author of a book called "Capitalism for Realists: Virtues and Vices of the Modern Economy" in which he argues that the best system is a moderate, social democratic form of capitalism. In making that case, he heavily relies on "economic freedom" rankings. In the book, Rutar criticizes an article Ben Burgis wrote for Jacobin arguing that such rankings are worthless and tell us nothing:https://jacobin.com/2021/10/economic-freedom-rankings-frasier-institute-peter-leeson-socialism-capitalismRutar also wrote an article for Areo magazine called "Marxism: The Idea that Refuses to Die":https://areomagazine.com/2023/06/27/marxism-the-idea-that-refuses-to-die/....which Ben wrote about in last Sunday's Substack essay, "Why I"m Still a Marxist: A Response to Tibor Rutar":https://benburgis.substack.com/p/tibor-rutars-flawed-critique-of-marxIn this episode, they finally sit down to. talk out the differences in their worldviews!

Christopher Hitchens was for many years considered one of the fiercest and most eloquent left-wing polemicists in the world. But on much of today's left, he's remembered as a defector, a warmonger, and a sellout—a supporter of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who traded his left-wing principles for neoconservatism after the September 11 attacks. In How Hitchens Can Save the Left, Matt Johnson argues that this easy narrative gets Hitchens exactly wrong. Hitchens was a lifelong champion of free inquiry, humanism, and universal liberal values. He was an internationalist who believed all people should have the liberty to speak and write openly, to be free of authoritarian domination, and to escape the arbitrary constraints of tribe, faith, and nation. He was a figure of the Enlightenment and a man of the left until the very end, and his example has never been more important. Shermer and Johnson discuss: Hitchens on free expression, identity politics, radicalism, interventionism, authoritarianism, patriotism, internationalism, America and Liberalism, reparations, religion, and death • identity politics • hostility to free speech • why Hitch did not become a neoconservative, warmonger, or imperialist • Enlightenment Liberalism • Trump and the division of the right • Hitchens on the precursors to Trump • Putin and Russian nationalism. Matt Johnson writes for Haaretz, Quillette, American Purpose, South China Morning Post, The Bulwark, Areo, Arc Digital, RealClearDefense, The Kansas City Star, and many other publications. His new book is How Hitchens Can Save the Left: Rediscovering Fearless Liberalism in an Age of Counter-Enlightenment.

How Kat's characters got older and their stories developed darker, more adult themes. 17.18 What led Kat to write for teenagers. Her work as a journalist for MTV and writing at the time of huge successes such as Twilight and The Hunger Games. She and Iona discuss what was available to younger readers in their own teens.

In this 164th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss science, race, death and sex. No, really. Science: why it is critical—in science and in sense-making in general—to separate the observation of a thing, from the interpretation of what it means. Race: why acting to protect yourself from individual bad actors is different from avoiding whole demographic groups. Death: Daniel Ellsberg, who released the Pentagon Papers, revealed a terminal diagnosis this week. We discuss him, his legacy, and death more generally. Sex: How can different lifestyles—e.g., “neo-trad” vs polyamorous—co-exist in a functioning society? Or can they? Also, we begin with a brief conversation about the Inca. *****Our sponsors: House of Macadamias: Delicious and nutritious macadamia nuts, in all sorts of configurations.

General Visit Richard's website to find out more about him and how to buy his books, including the main subject of this conversation, Richard's award-winning 2002 novel ‘Altered Carbon': https://www.richardkmorgan.com/ References About Richard: https://www.richardkmorgan.com/about-the-author/ Ewan Morrison's Areo article ‘Why We Must Walk Away from Omelas: The Problem with Utopias': https://areomagazine.com/2020/08/27/why-we-must-walk-away-from-omelas-the-problem-with-utopias/ Timestamps 0:00 Opening and introduction (and a confession from Iona): the great weight of ‘Altered Carbon' in Richard's career. 6:01 Iona reads a passage from ‘Altered Carbon'. 12:30 Richard and Iona discuss the passage, the underlying premises of the novel, and Richard's visual imagination and writing style over the years. 27:30 ‘Re-sleeving' and ‘download central' in ‘Altered Carbon' and the themes and inspirations behind them. 30:29 Iona's ambiguity towards the Netflix adaptation of ‘Altered Carbon': comparisons with the novel. 37:23 More on the ‘sleeves' in ‘Altered Carbon': how the rich and powerful get the best from the system and what this tells us about the nature of wealth and capitalism and the trajectory we're on. “The endless co-option of life and all its pleasures” by the wealthy. 47:18 The theme of identity in ‘Altered Carbons' (compared to Iain M. Banks' treatment of it in his ‘Culture' novels). Richard's dystopian vision vs. Banks's utopian vision. Can technology take us to the sunlit uplands or, as Richard says, does the fact that we will always ultimately be “violent apes” constrain the possibilities of progress? The need for eternal Enlightenment vigilance. 1:03:13 Arguing with a Buddhist about karmic balance: the origins of ‘Altered Carbon'. 1:06:31 Sci fi traditions: is ‘Altered Carbon' genre fiction or literary fiction? 1:08:36 Which authors have most influenced Richard? Who are his favourites? Plus: Iona on what influences she saw in ‘Altered Carbon' and some reflections on Ursula K. Le Guin. 1:25:02 Some more debate on optimism, the future, and human nature. 1:31:25 Is there anything Richard would have liked to discuss but didn't get the chance to? The noir tradition, Richard's argument with trans rights activists over ‘Altered Carbon' and J.K. Rowling, the misunderstanding of his novel as championing essentialism/the existence of souls, and the death of the author. 1:37:25 Iona reads another passage from ‘Altered Carbon'. 1:40:42 Last words and outro.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ William Costello finished his MSc in Psychology: Culture and Evolution at Brunel University London in 2021. The topic of his thesis was incels. Later this year he will join Dr. David Buss's Evolutionary Psychology lab at the University of Texas at Austin, as a PhD student. He will retain an honorary research assistant role at Swansea University. He writes opinion pieces on a range of cultural issues including gender and identity politics, and his work has been featured in Quillette and Areo, and his academic research has been presented at several academic conferences around the world. In this episode, we talk about the psychology of incels, and modern mating. We first define incels, and go through their psychological traits. We talk about their mental wellbeing, and their self-perceptions of their own mate value. We discuss possible psychotherapeutic approaches, and singlehood. We talk about how people should view incels, misrepresentations in the media, and the advice they get online. We then get into some issues with modern mating, how it is hard for both men and women, and potential solutions. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

Fabi and I have been discussing how people use or don't use critical thought to check in with why they believe what they believe for several episodes since we began the podcast.  In this episode we listen in on a thought experiment on Youtube, conducted by Dr. Peter Boghossian that engages with the claim: "My Body, My Choice" should be consistent for vaccines and abortion.  We react to the participants responses and give our thoughts on how people back up their own beliefs and how they react to other people's beliefs.     Dr. Peter Boghossian's Bio: Dr. Peter Boghossian's main focus is bringing the tools of professional philosophers to people in a wide variety of contexts. Peter has a teaching pedigree spanning more than 25 years and 30 thousand students - in prisons, hospitals, public and private schools, seminaries, universities, Fortune 100 companies, and small businesses. His fundamental objective is to teach people how to think through what often seem to be intractable problems. Peter's primary research areas are critical thinking and moral reasoning. His doctoral research studies, funded by the State of Oregon and supported by the Oregon Department of Corrections, consisted of using the Socratic method to help prison inmates to increase their critical thinking and moral reasoning abilities and to increase their desistance to criminal behavior. Peter is also a an Author and his publications can be found in The New York Times, Time Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Areo, The American Mind, The Clearing House, Corrections Today, CounterPunch, Education Policy Analysis, Educational Philosophy and Theory, Essays in Philosophy, Federal Probation Journal, Free Inquiry, Informal Logic, Inside Higher Ed, Journal of Correctional Education, Journal of Philosophy of Education, The Los Angeles Times, Motherboard, Quillette, New Discourses, National Review, New Statesman, Offender Programs Report, The Philosophers' Magazine, Philosophy's Future, The Radical Academy, Radical Pedagogy, Scientific American, Skeptic, Skeptical Inquirer, The Spectator, Teaching Philosophy, Truthout, and USA Today.   Join the conversation on Telegram at: https://t.me/tcrpodcast We have a Rumble video channel that features our interview segments at: https://rumble.com/c/c-1453444 Resources from this episode: Link to Dr. Peter Boghossian thought experiment featured in podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoYDrgPc7QI Dr Peter Boghossian's Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/drpeterboghossian Dr Peter Boghossian's Website: https://peterboghossian.com/ Dr Thomas Cowan and Sally Fallon Morrell's Book, The Contagion Myth featured in discussion related to the rabies virus: https://www.amazon.com/Truth-About-Contagion-Exploring-Theories/dp/1510768823/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2VMI4C489RVFT&keywords=the+contagion+myth&qid=1657208190&sprefix=the+contagion+myth%2Caps%2C585&sr=8-1

In this 132nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and how both individuals and political entities on both “sides” are responding to it. We discuss the implications of whether other organisms might use abortifacients, and how fuzzy categories are revealed with the discovery of a giant bacterium. We discuss whether twitter is sanctioning violence, while saying that they are doing the opposite. And we discuss the recent reveal that the CDC, despite seeming to claim the opposite for well over a year now, is now acknowledging that they have not been analyzing adverse events from the Covid vaccines. ***** Support the sponsors of the show: Thesis: personalized nootropics for motivation, creativity, confidence and more.

Why Putin is a 19th-century leader. 10:38 The religious aspect of the war and Putin's warped view of history. Why so many fail to understand that Putin is just an imperialist and miss the mark by talking about Russian security interests and NATO expansion. 15:22 Wouldn't the US be angry if Mexico joined a Chinese version of the Warsaw Pact? Why blaming NATO expansion for the war is wrong. 20:00 What the Glenn Greenwald-style anti-imperialist left and the Tucker Carlson-style isolationist right get wrong about Ukraine and why (and how they overlap). 25:44 Isn't Ukraine corrupt and authoritarian? Aren't Russia and Ukraine just as bad as each other? Isn't Zelensky illiberal? 28:58 What about the Azov Battalion? Isn't Ukraine riddled with fascism and neo-Nazism? 31:40 How the usual suspects on the anti-imperialist left deny agency to Ukrainians, who want arms. Plus: The Ukrainian socialist Taras Bilous, on the frontlines and for western arming of Ukraine. Could Ukraine be a turning point for the left? 38:01 The war and the news cycle. What's actually happening on the ground now? What does the future of the war look like? 42:24 Has Putin lost his edge? Has the invasion backfired on him? Has he united the west again? And if so, how long will that unity last? Has the western reaction to Russian expansionism come too late? Should the west's aim be to degrade Russia's capability to wage such wars? Is a Ukrainian victory possible? 51:23 What should the west be doing about Ukraine? Will Europe put up with skyrocketing energy costs to help Ukraine? Will this lead to an upsurge in support for politicians like Le Pen? 53:31 Could Putin use nukes? Might he escalate the war? 58:18 A strange question about elites from Twitter for Matt. 1:03:08 The effects of the war on energy in Europe and attitudes to nuclear power. The war as an advertisement for nuclear power. Plus: the intransigence and greed of the oil companies and OPEC countries. 1:06:16 An aside: the grotesque mystery of America selling its soul to Saudi Arabia. 1:08:00 Is there anything Matt didn't get the chance to say but wanted to?

How Language Made Us Human'. 13:00 Animal sounds vs. human language. Simon's theory of the key to and origins of language: the “digitisation of noise.” 17:25 The evidence for Simon's theory. 22:07 Nature and language as digital; an analogy with DNA and evo devo. 26:04 The revolutionary power of language for humanity. Iona reads from Simon's book—language as an act of transportation, both connecting us with others and distancing us from the immediate basis of experience. Plus: the dangers of being trapped by language (“the trap of identity”, “the trap of culture”, etc.) and a Babylonian diversion. 37:27 Japanese enka music and Jero, the black American enka singer: a cautionary tale against feeling one's culture is special and unique. This is true at the individual level, too. This is an illusion caused by language. Further discussion and examples of this illusion and how it (sometimes dangerously) misleads and divides us. The artificiality of culture: our natures are all calibration, stemming from language and culture. Simon's Japanese experience. 49:48 Simon's views on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (linguistic relativity). 55:01 The power of music and its (lack of?) relation to language. Did language drive the growth of the brain? 1:04:36 Do books offer a kind of vicarious experience? Can we really communicate experience and thought to others via language? Is the world headed in the direction of a universal culture (but not a monoculture!)? 1:07:06 Using language and argument instead of violence. Is democracy an evolutionarily stable strategy? How do we apply this at the global level, not just the national level? Why the United Nations fails at this. 1:14:04 Last words and outro.

How did Arvid become interested in evolutionary biology and the gene's-eye view? Evolutionary biology's links with history and philosophy. 13:50 Similarities between Richard Dawkins and Arvid's background interest in evolutionary biology. Arvid outlines the selfish gene theory and its intellectual history. 18:47 Are some of the arguments over the gene's-eye view terminological rather than substantial? What if ‘The Selfish Gene' had been called ‘The Immortal Gene'? 19:58 Stephen Jay Gould vs. Dawkins: critiques of selfish genery. What questions were Gould and Dawkins separately interested in, and what does this tell us about their disagreements? 27:18 Evolutionary developmental (evo devo) biology and its relationship to selfish gene theory. 31:01 Is the evo devo/selfish gene binary really valid?

What does Arvid think of the alternative ways - evo devo, the extended synthesis, etc - of looking at evolution? Why is the selfish gene view valuable? In which senses is the selfish gene view incomplete? Pluralism and preferences in science. 44:38 The empirical consequences of the gene's-eye view: extended phenotypes and selfish genetic elements. Plus: Salman Rushdie and W.D. Hamilton's “eternal disquiet within.” 58:40 Why should scientists study the history of ideas? 1:01:37 The role of metaphorical thinking in science. 1:06:32 The sociological reception of the selfish gene view. 1:10:04 What is the current standing and future of the gene's-eye view? 1:14:30 The extended evolutionary synthesis: is the Modern Synthesis outdated? 1:19:32 Is there something Arvid would have liked to say but didn't get the chance to? 1:20:31 Last words and outro.

In this 125th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss the new current thing. The new current thing is not the Pfizer data release that happened this week, although perhaps it should be. The new current thing is the leaked draft majority opinion from Judge Alito, Supreme Court Justice of the United States, which reveals that Roe v. Wade is likely to be overturned. We discuss abortion, abortion policy, and what Americans say when they're polled about these things. Is there a hard-and-fast line to draw? Does biology provide insights? We argue that abortion is not a women's issue, per se, but an issue that pertains to all humanity, while also being a feminist issue. ***** Support the sponsors of the show: Vivo Barefoot: Shoes for healthy feet—comfortable and regenerative, enhances stability and tactile feedback.

The Factual: credibility grading of news articles/stories. 2:33 The Factual's history, its mission and ethos, its process of evaluating articles/stories, and the technology behind it. 6:25 Iona on Areo and the foundation of all good commentary—the facts. Opinion/commentary vs. news reporting. Arjun: The Factual's algorithm and AI tries to ensure that commentary is scored according to how well-grounded in fact it is. 9:00 How the technology behind The Factual works and the methodology of assigning rankings to the four different categories that The Factual rates to come up with an overall credibility score for a piece. 13:51 The conflation of credibility with popularity in science and news. The “herd mentality” in news. Plus: why The Factual's algorithm can't tell you if something is true or false, only if a piece has characteristics that mark it as credible and factual—it provides a rubric, with rules of thumb, applicable with or without the algorithm. Ultimately: no easy answers to big issues in the news. 19:59 A discussion of the adversarial nature of politics—does this give it an advantage over (mostly popular) science because everything is “subjected to a ferocious scrutiny” (Iona) by political opponents with vested interests? Pros and cons of this. Challenging popular narratives in science and politics. Adversarialism in politics and journalism. 24:49 Arjun's father and the simple, core principle of The Factual's algorithm: read multiple sources/viewpoints. Give people the tools to decide for themselves. The Factual's commenting methodology. How to cure polarisation. 29:42 The perils of internet discourse in the social media age: Facebook comments and the end of friendships and the flaws of the Twitter algorithm. An age of polarisation and bitter division, online and offline. How can The Factual help us move beyond this? 34:20 Why are people interested in the news? Why is knowing the news and reading good journalism good for people? Where did Arjun's interest in the news come from? Why reading the news should be enjoyable rather than anxiety/anger-inducing. Why news shouldn't take over your life. The Factual's business model. 41:23 Metric obsession and how The Factual is different. 45:21 Arjun's colleague Alex and the importance of double-checking and questioning the algorithm. 47:07 The erosion of free speech—big tech algorithms, social media, and censorship. How we all engage in curation and why curation is better than censorship. How best to deal with cranks and mis/disinformation—and how the tech giants get it wrong. The poisoning of discourse by cancel culture and how social media enables cancel culture. 1:00:34 Polarisation and the continual subdivision of people into smaller and smaller groups and the effects of all this on public discourse. Twitter is NOT representative of the world. Why a multiplicity of platforms is good and why we must learn how to best use them. 1:04:43 How does Arjun think news might be consumed in the future, or how does he hope it will be consumed? 1:09:09 Last words and outro.

*Content Warning* The article referenced in today's episode includes vague to explicit misogyny and transphobic discourse, as well as references to sexual violence and assault.*Irony Warning* The producers of this podcast disagree with and strongly condemn the argument set forth in the article referenced in this episode. Any intimations to the contrary are entirely a performance for the sake of comedic irony or parody.Today, we introduce a new style of episode called re:joinder, in which we read an article of ~questionable~ merit dealing with academia, rhetoric, and/or politics and give you our real-time reactions to its problematic content. For our first re:joinder, Alex reads an article he picked out for Calvin and our special guest, Carnegie Mellon Ph.D. Candidate in Rhetoric Maggie Goss. The article in question: “Why Traditional Masculinity is Good for Academia” by Samuel Veissière.Published in Areo - an online magazine from the progenitors of the “Sokal Squared” hoax - Veissière's argument begins from the premise that it is men, not women, who are structurally disadvantaged in society in general, and academia in particular. The author (who is, ironically, a tenure-track faculty member at McGill University) also argues that “traditional masculinity” is not only unfairly maligned in contemporary academia, but also an untapped resource for reform of academia's worst aspects — from the purported closing and coddling of young minds, all the way up to the very real problems of widespread sexual harassment and assault on campuses. Yes, Veissière actually argues that more masculinity could help reduce sexual violence against women. In response, Calvin, Maggie, and Alex discuss the article's spurious reasoning, lack of evidence, and oddball assumptions before presenting their own ideas for how to address the downsides of hegemonic masculinity.Works and Concepts Cited In This EpisodeBurmila, E.

Brothers with loyalty forged in hellfire challenge one another in The Dome over love and duty. Benjin brings the rage of his love Belan over her heartbroken sister Areo. Clawd'sh brings the determination of a man forced to deny his heart's desire for the good of another. It will be brutal, it will be fierce, and in it we will find glory.

Areo and Clawd'sh have been paired for a Champion's Dilemma match. Under normal circumstances, they would collaborate, but Dungeon is forcing Clawd'sh to destroy his love. With Dungeon's influence hold?

After their partners and greatest friends have been turned to stone, Areo and Clawd'sh must adventure to find a cure. In that journey, they discover something more.

After startling revelations about the history between Benjin and Belan, and Areo and Clawd'sh experiencing love at first sight twice in the same match the teams are now forced to work together to fight a team of monsters. As always, in the Dungeon Dome, things are not as simple as they appear.
