Pretty similar to the beginning of the Owl House.
That Evil Wizards name?
Siatama.
If oglaf hasn’t done this, they will.
I read “amoral” as “amore” + “al” instead of “a-moral”.
Made me wonder how the horniness of the fairies is related.
In the 2004 Bard’s Tale game you keep running across kids who die thinking they are they chosen one.
And then trows (basically goblins) come out and sing an oompa loompa style song mocking the kids.
“Oh it’s baaaaaaad luck to be you…”
So fairly odd parents for grownups, anyone?
The first few lines reminded me of the game Nox
Edit: holy shit Nox came out 24 years ago today
[off topic?]
UnLunDun by Neil Gaiman has a similar idea. There’s a Chosen One, great heroine, and her plucky sidekick. The heroine gets sidelined and it’s up to the sidekick to actually save the day.
Highly recommend The Wandering Inn. I’m k book 3 out of 11 and it’s purely amazing! I’m listening to the audiobook version and it’s a different voice actor for every character.
I came here to recommend it too based on the post. Just finished book 2 and have 3 and 4 loaded and ready to binge.
Also I don’t think they have more than one voice actress. Iirc it’s just the incredibly talented Andrea Parsneau.
Reminds me of the voice actor for Dungeon Crawler Carl, which I also highly recommend, incredibly talented at doing voices.
My mind is blown! She does everyone of those voices? That is insane!
I’ll add DCC to my list. Currently listening to Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary.
I’ve been binging the audiobooks since I started them in December. I thought it was just a standalone novel, not realizing I signed up for an epic length series. I’m in book 10 now and am going to be depressed when I have to wait for the next release. The narrator really does a phenomenal job with the broad cast of characters of various races.
I’m starting book 3 soon and I’m already sad that there’s 11 books because I know I’m going to blow past these books. It’s so great and the voice actor is beyond amazing!
Literally the plot of Dark Souls
Add in a few more amoral mythical creatures and you’ve got It’s Always Sunny in Faerie. I’d give that a watch.
I would watch Always Sunny in Fairly Odd Parents
It’s Always Sunny in
FaerieFaeladelphiaFTFY
I’m… stealing that as the title of a module to write and run at my next gaming con…
Ah yes, of course, the city of mythical love.
Oh dang, changeling the lost character plot hook.
This sounds a lot like Star Lord’s situation with Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Makes me think of my thoughts on seeing the first few episodes of Attack on Titan.

Never finished it but it probably would have been a more interesting story if they just let the main character up to that point die. Not sure where the story would have gone but it would have been fun finding out.
You should finish it. Things change pretty drastically.
Negl I was kind of expecting the “chosen one” bit to be that kind of fucked up “this is definitely gonna kill you but they seem barely cognizant of that” prank that fairies like
