Ostrogothic Kingdom: Ildibad & Eraric

Quest for Power is a character-driven storytelling podcast that weaves together entire mythologies, legendary cycles, and real history into one sprawling epic saga, then judges the characters who lived it. 

The legendary earn immortality in the Hall of Legends. The forgettable get cast aside as mere NPCs of history. The wretched are burned at the stake, their existence reduced to ashes in the wind.

From the gods and heroes of Irish mythology to the knights of Arthurian legend to the kings and warlords of post-Roman Europe, every story is connected, every character matters, and no one escapes judgment.
