Heirs of the Pandavas (Season 1) - First Blood
Happy Halloween and Welcome to Heirs of the Pandavas, my gift to you on this special day.
This is a GRIMdark fantasy horror series set in a brutal, myth-haunted version of ancient Bharat, centuries after the great war of Kurukshetra.
The gods and legendary heroes have faded into memory. What remains is a land stalked by demons, monsters, sorcerers, killers, and things that should never have crawled out of the darkness.
At the centre of these stories are Rudra and Dhriti, a brother and sister descended from the Pandavas. Cursed to wander the land as mercenaries, they travel from kingdom to kingdom taking on creatures, cults, tyrants, and supernatural horrors.
Heirs of the Pandavas is an action-packed dark fantasy series inspired by Indian mythology, folklore, martial traditions, and horror.
The series was originally produced by Wyn Studios, but production stopped when we were unable to find a sponsor to keep the show going.
But the story isn't over.
I'm bringing Heirs of the Pandavas to the Indian Noir podcast.
You'll first hear the audio stories produced so far. These opening stories will introduce you to the world, its lore, the dangers that inhabit it, and the journey of Rudra and Dhriti.
After that, their adventures will continue here through new standalone stories LIKE the VIKRAM AND BETAL stories, each tale taking them into another corner of this grim world and another violent encounter with the strange, the monstrous, and the supernatural.
So start with these opening stories and step into the world of Heirs of the Pandavas.
The road ahead is long.
And there are monsters waiting in the dark.
