The White Rider

Wednesday’s greetings, mortals! This Friday at 8PT, CYNTHIA WEATHERWAX RETURNETH! After so long away, what a joy it shall be to reunite with the Hexologist Supreme! But she joins me at a dangerous hour—in my endeavour to find Summersbane, I followed a trail of clues to the Forest of Nemubarb. Therein we shall find THE WHITE RIDER—a dangerous fiend, menacing the roads, who is said to hold court with devils & spectres. He may know where Joe McCarthy took our Summersbane, & so I must speak with him, heedless of the risk. Join myself & Cynthia Friday 8PT as we face THE WHITE RIDER!

Rumours of the Rider abound—I collected some below. How many think ye may be true…?

Whispers of the White Rider

• The White Rider is himself a ghost, dead for centuries, who simply loves spreading fear

• The White Rider is not one man, but a masque, a mantle taken up each decade by that decade’s most awful bastard

• The White Rider is Denzel Washington, who finds villainy amusing, & feels none would truly believe it were he exposed

• His horse is a night-mare, a shadow-horse born of nocturnal fears

• Birds find him annoying, but will not say so to his face

• Fears cold steel

• Fears running water

• Fears commitment

• Vegan

• Other than his bone-flail, his most dangerous weapon is his kiss

• Cannot actually ride, the horse is a disguised car

• TERF but also Democrat voter

• He forged his armor from ivory & white gold, seized from the lost city of Saz-Gort, where he reigned as the King of Pain

• He stole his armor from a museum

• He is in fact nude

• Can cast spells but his religion prohibits him from doing so

Thank ye for reading—& thank ye to the growing cadre of generous mortals who can & do support our works here with coin!

I hope ye shall join us Friday for a reunion with Cynthia in THE WHITE RIDER! I shall write ye again Saturday morning, provided we survive the encounter. ‘Til then—be safe, be well, & believe not all ye read…

Cheers,
