The Myth and Magic of Prester John

Описание: King Arthur and his Knights, Charlemagne and his Paladins, Saint George and his Dragon, Alexander the Great, and Prester John. These were the great legends of the Medieval Age in both Europe and the Near East. While Charlemagne and Alexander certainly existed, it is still an open question whether Arthur and Saint George did. But Prester John, fabled descendant of the Three Wise Men of the Bible, almost certainly did not.

His legendary kingdom of The Three Indies is described in this video by the texts of those who first recorded his legend. The promise of this paradise drew adventurers and knights on quest for centuries. And although this video is a sober collection of the literary sources of Prester John, it also promotes a very silly and non-academic version of this legend... a role-playing actual play podcast by DW Draffin set in the world of Prester John's city of Nyse!

The podcast is called Leastwatch, and it is the simple tale of the least of all city guards standing at the leastgate, experiencing the fantastical and mythical scenarios our Medieval ancestors imagined. Five delightful actors and a sound designer bring the world hilariously to life in weekly episodes which can be found on every podcast platform:
