The Third Age

What is The Third Age?

“The old age believed in magic, this age believes in science, but we are on the precipice of a third age, a fusion of everything that’s come before.” – Jerrod

The Third Age is a webseries about an ensemble of characters caught up in this fusion of magic and science, of people on the frontlines of the war to shape humanity’s future. It begins with a ritual, the calling down of a spirit into a man, and from there goes on to chronicle an ever expanding web of lives caught up in a battle between gods.

The series is masterminded by me, Patrick Meaney, and Jordan Rennert. Our goal is to tell a story that uses science fiction as a way to explore the world we live in, and the conflicts that everyone faces. The gods in the story represent eternal forces that change humanity, progress, stasis, imprisonment and freedom. The story isn’t so much about the larger conflict as it is about the individual lives affected in its wake.

Throw the RSS feed for this blog in your feed reader to stay updated on the progress of the project. Each episode of the series will be about five minutes, and a new one will be posted every two weeks. They’ll be available as direct downloads, and on Youtube. It will run about a year before wrapping up the story.

We’ve shot about four episodes of material, but it’s still being processed. For now, enjoy this teaser, focusing on Milton, the entrapped spirit. The Youtube is available for easy viewing, but download it if you want higher quality.
