Excession Part 1

Plots and prognostications! Trouble brews in the culture as forces from beyond, forces from within, and forces from the forgotten list of unresolved disputes rear their ugly heads! 

A huge thanks to Terminal Khaos Builders for providing all music used in this episode! Our intro and outtro music is "Oh, they never lie," off the album "12 Views of Iain M. Banks's Culture." Check out their music here:
