Auch mit diesem CROMCAST wird wieder alles anders. Nicht nur, dass sich unser Logo etwas verändert hat und wir euch weiterhin regelmäßig mit Informationen und dem Gesabbel von drei Irren versorgen werden, wir haben auch die Art der Sendeform gewechselt. Der CROMCAST kommt ab sofort direkt als Podcast zu euch!
Das heißt natürlich nicht, dass unser Moderator Lenny verloren geht, der bleibt uns natürlich erhalten und wird auch weiterhin den Podcast für uns alle aufnehmen, schneiden und auf seiner eigens dafür geschaffenen Seite veröffentlichen, dem AoC-Radio.
Der CROMCAST wird euch jede zweite Woche am Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr zu Verfügung gestellt und ihr könnt ihn auch als Podcast-Feed abonnieren!

The Origin of the Elves
Even the Elves themselves are unsure of their exact origin, which was lost in the dawn of time.

Trapped on their island, the Elves fought bravely against the hordes of daemons that came from beyond the stars, but they seemed unstoppable.
