"Candela Obscura is an ongoing monthly horror drama that follows an esoteric order of investigators —known as a circle— who use centuries of knowledge to investigate strange occurrences and dangerous magick, fighting back against a mysterious source of corruption and bleed. This chapter finds The Circle of Tide and Bone grappling with their inner demons, while confronting ancient phenomena that seep from the foundations of Newfaire. While this is a continuation of the series, it's a brand new beginning and does not require previous knowledge of the previous chapters to enjoy, as it is designed so that viewers and listeners can pick up at any point. Any brave new soul that dares to watch is welcome to attend."

"Leveraging gaming as a story mechanic, the series features the Candela Obscura tabletop roleplaying game from Darrington Press, which is designed with, and the first game to use, the Illuminated Worlds System. The Candela Obscura Core Rulebook, of which the show is based upon, is set to release worldwide on November 14 in both a standard hardcover edition as well as a hardcover limited edition for collectors and fans alike."
