In this episode, we talk about the subtle differences between heroes and villains from the world of Avernus, and how they differ from each other in terms of their physical appearance and their soul complex. Ayn Rand's Ayn Amortus is a classic epic poem written in the first century BCE, and is considered to be one of the most famous epic poems in the history of epic poetry.
