Ep3: The Great Circus Danasko

Every Autumn the Great Circus Danasko rolls into Moonkarta. We join The Librarian at Beryl's.  The Librarian recalls a time when the circus' arrival meant more than just a passing visit.

The Librarian introduces us to the Circus Master, who his also his brother, Esteban and we learn about a past made up of conflict and division, when the brothers, who were once the greatest trapeze act in the land, split to follow different dreams. Since then, they have never seen eye-to-eye.

Whilst in town, Esteban hosts a talent contest for the Moonkarta residents, but even in this there is an ulterior motive; to find someone with so little talent that his audience will find them hilarious. 

Throughout the contest, Splott and Jansey's friendship is tested. Can Splott step up for Jansey in her time of need and prove himself to be a genuine friend? 

Here, we also meet Potts; a loyal circus member of twenty years who has returned to Moonkarta to retire here. A brave man who has seen the world, Potts becomes a firm ally of The Librarian.

As the circus rolls back out of Moonkarta it is revealed that there is more to Esteban's scheming than was first thought, as he meets with Cirrina, Queen of the Octofolk. Esteban has marked Splott in exchange for the protection of his brother against what is to come, showing that their brotherly bond is not yet entirely broken.
