This might be your best piece of storytelling since "The Misprint"...and a more immersive one, too, as this one has an active listening character. I listened to this entire thing during a two-hour stretch of road travel today...coincidentally enough, while returning home after a weekend spend working in my capacity as the Dragon Merchant himself... This will definitely go into my list of your audios to relax to, as well as the sleeping pill collection. Exceptionally well done!
This was an amazing story, and I really hope you spin it out into a series! It seems like there is a lot of potential buried in the background of this setting!
Was tuned into your channel by my favorite VA, and delighted to hear his appearance in your incredible work. No one who hears this cannot be truly impressed. This deserves a standing ovation
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the story. I considered releasing it as a series, but this way, there are no post roll ads between one part of the story and the next.
@@nightmotherasmr funny thing is, we are playing dnd with friends also in desert setting, and my character just got snake - like abilities, so your story matches perfectly with mine, like it could really happen in "my" past Also it was interesting :)
On my 4th listen, falling asleep before the end every time which I guess is the point. What a great story with a fantastic script and accompanying sounds. In my opinion one of the best asmr stories ever posted on YT. Thank you so much, you really make amazing high quality content.
At some point in this video, I say something like "be careful what book you read before sleep, the world of the book might follow you into your dreams..."
Just found your channel and this was a great listen! Very relaxing, excellent soundwork and storytelling. It even inspired a few ideas for a dnd campaign I'm running 😉
Listening through this again (while working on some leather projects, amusingly enough...Dragon Merchant doing merchant things...) I'm getting mental flashbacks to a whole array of books and movies with desert imagery in them. Dune, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Ten Commandments, plus several more indistinct sources that I can't identify. It's all very thought-provoking. I also picked up a little more on the hints of old history and lore to this world...there is SO much more detail that someone could go into with this place. I shall not soon grow weary of listening to this one.
I was thinking about Solsteim when I wrote them... But a Telvanni would never work for someone else like Bruno's wizard does - not if Neloth is anything to go by.
59:49 Leave the safety of the caravan to go explore the very dangerous desert? Sure, why not? Ruined temple, you say? I'm in. Wait, what are you reading for? Let's go. Get rich? Well, ok, if you inist, but you had me at ruined temple and danger.
Amazing story, but I have a historical nickpick: For her grandfather to have been a carpenter under Blackbeard's command this would have to take place somewhere around 1750, well after the end of piracy in the Caribbean .

Your channel is criminally underrated, Nightmother. You make amazing content!
2 hours is a gift

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it, and had time to listen to the full video :) I hope I didn't reveal too much about the Dragon Merchant?
@@nightmotherasmr No more than he himself reveals to some folk...
You did a great job. What little you did tell only adds more to the mystique.

Thank you! We collaborated in this video as well: th-cam.com/video/CvBUELMrZ88/w-d-xo.html
I'm so glad you got to hear this...not just for my own humble contribution, but for the marvelous storytelling by the Night Mother...
I am at the 1 hour 48 min mark, this thing has been crazy good. This could make for a very atmospheric movie. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the story. I considered releasing it as a series, but this way, there are no post roll ads between one part of the story and the next.
I can't wait!!! ❤ Thanks Nightmother!! ❤
I hope you like it :)
This was so awesome! I stayed up the whole time to hear it! ❤
@@erinburch5289 Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Oh my God you have the voice of Apollo. A literal godsend.😩
Thank you so much!
The ending is very smart! Opens up the possiblity for more stories from this characters perspective
Holy, I'll listen it until Friday by small portions, can't even estimate how much imagination you need for such long roleplays
I really enjoyed developing this world :) Let me know what you think!

Also it was interesting :)
@@snakeverg9390 Thank you :) I'm catching up on High Rollers' Altheya campaign right now :) I's always nice to hear that DnD-players enjoy my videos.

Thank you so much!
I will thoroughly enjoy all 2 hours, thank you!
I'm going to enjoy this later on tonight, thanks.
This is such a gem, I have come back multiple times but I never make it to the end because I zonk out. Thank you!!
I'm glad you like it so much :)
This is amazing. Instantly subscribed. I cannot put into words how much I love this.
Thank you, much appreaciated!
What a treat
Really need to take some time to listen to the whole story and not just go to sleep somewhere in the middle.
Thanks for another great story! :)
Fell asleep listening to this last night and had some crazy dreams. Now I have to relisten so I know what happens.
At some point in this video, I say something like "be careful what book you read before sleep, the world of the book might follow you into your dreams..."
@@nightmotherasmr it certainly did!
Just found your channel and this was a great listen! Very relaxing, excellent soundwork and storytelling.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it, and took the time to listen to such a long video.
2 hours???
Duuuuude I'm sharing this
I’d listen to so many episodes of this series
This is exactly what the doctor ordered
*Medi-sand man
Just in time for bed. 😊
I am insanely blessed to have found this; It's fantastic. Really.
@@maleforthedragon5177 Thank you!
Haha! I thought I heard the music at the start before! I heard it in Inkle's Sorcery series! You have good taste in freesound samples
Great !

I wanted to give the impression of an ancient world full of history, it seems like i succeeded :)
@@nightmotherasmr Quite so.
Awesome!!
Please more of these
The fact that this has so few views and likes is a CRIME
A fantastic tale, you really have a gift. Those Burnt Ones sound a lot like Ash Fiends. Bruno's mage wouldn't happen to be Telvanni?
I was thinking about Solsteim when I wrote them... But a Telvanni would never work for someone else like Bruno's wizard does - not if Neloth is anything to go by.
@@nightmotherasmr that is a fair point!
Have confirmed...this definitely works as a sleeping pill.
59:49 Leave the safety of the caravan to go explore the very dangerous desert?
Sure, why not?
Ruined temple, you say?
I'm in.
Wait, what are you reading for? Let's go.
Get rich? Well, ok, if you inist, but you had me at ruined temple and danger.

@@Atzy Thanks! Didn't look too closely at the timeline. Glad you enjoyed it anyway.
Where did you find the sound effect for that slow, stone-on-stone grating of the doors moving?
freesound: freesound.org/search/?q=stone+door
@@nightmotherasmr Thanks!
I wish I'd known that creator has that sound...I've used others of his effects before.
No, the snakes are definitely not poisonous.
Now, whether or not they're venomous remains to be seen.
Right! So if we got stuck in there, we could have eaten them?
@@nightmotherasmr Snake makes good eats, if Florida Man is to be believed.
