info_outlineThe King has been missing for a long time. All of his friends who are not time-travellers are worried sick.
His friends who are time-travellers, however, have more pressing mysteries on their mind - what is the best way to keep the wild gods of the Arctic from knocking down his rad castle? What really went down at the Sack of Rome, which is hands-down the coolest part of history? And why is Ba'al Hadad, god of thunder and fertility, such a useless layabout?
But don't worry friends, there's a Magic Telephone on the hall table and everything will be all right when he calls back.
