“Sometimes the stories that touch the most hearts are written by the least likely authors”

Bane of the Talebearer is a multi-media passion project fronted by composer, writer and producer Tom de Wit. An international multimedia project containing a Soundtrack album (Spanning multiple music genres), an audiodrama/podcast (Season 1 now available on YouTube!) and an (in early development) jRPG videogame all based on an epic story featuring an extensive fantasy world inhabited by many colorful characters.

This website serves as the main project hub and will be updated as more content is created!
