The Final Refrain
<p>It's been a very long while, but the Battle Bards haven't fully abandoned you -- at least not without a goodbye! In the grand final episode of the show, Steff, Syl, and Syp gather together one last time to share memories of the show, the reason behind the decision to end it, and a few of our favorite MMO music tracks. Enjoy -- and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for listening these past 12 years.

Episode 233: Epic battle music
<p>For Battle Bards' penultimate episode, Syp and Syl explore some EPIC battle music across many MMOs. After all, if we're going to go out in style, that style's going to be loud enough to blast a hole in your eardrums!

Episode 232: Wayfinder
<p>A small online RPG proves to have a big musical heart with Wayfinder, as Syp, Steff, and Syl discover! These consummate professionals chew through this soundtrack and ask for seconds, only to be denied because they made such a mess along the way. Also, we are the only people in the world who dislike Baldur's Gate 3.</p> <p><strong>Episode 232 show notes<br /></strong></p> <ul> <li>Intro (feat. <strong>"Call of the Void," "Echoes of the Fallen,"</strong> and <strong>"Skylight"</strong>)</li> <li><strong>"Awakening"</strong></li> <li><strong>"Wayfinder"</strong></li> <li><strong>"Deepwood Holt"</strong></li> <li><strong>"In the Beacon's Light"</strong></li> <li><strong>"Kragan Highlands"</strong></li> <li><strong>"Blood in the Wood"</strong></li> <li>Which one did we like best?</li> <li>Jukebox Picks: <strong>"Fillmore" </strong>from ActRaiser, <strong>"The Apostle Myrkul"</strong> from Baldur's Gate 3, and <strong>"Death's Door" </strong>from Death's Door</li> <li>Outro (feat. <strong>"Raven's Shadow"</strong>)</li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/battlebardscast"><strong>Talk to the Battle Bards on Twitter!</strong></a></li> <li><strong>Follow Battle Bards on <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/battle-bards/id631519898">iTunes</a>, <a href="http://app.stitcher.com/browse/feed/33585/details">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://player.fm/series/battle-bards">Player.FM</a>, <a href="https://play.google.com/music/listen?t=Battle_Bards">Google Play,</a> <a href= "https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-Battle-Bards-29650508">iHeartRadio</a>, and <a href="http://pca.st/ffUK">Pocket Casts!</a></strong></li> <li>This podcast is produced using copyrighted material according to Fair Use practices as stated under Section 107 of the 1976 Copyright Act.</li> </ul>
