When their lord was ordered to die and their world was taken, forty seven masterless samurai waited almost two years, their leader pretending to fall apart to disarm suspicion, then kept their promise on one snowy night and gave themselves up. Their graves are still tended today, three hundred years on. We give you the ending in the first minutes, and it is told with quiet and grave gentleness, never with fear.\nThis is a Tale episode, our Friday tradition: one true story from history, told at the fireside. It is a story about patience, about keeping faith when everything that mattered is gone, and about how a quiet promise, kept, can outlive the men who kept it by three hundred years.\nThis is roughly a one hour story inside a three hour video. The tale ends softly around the 52 minute mark, and then the quiet night carries on until morning. Black screen friendly.\nChapters:\n0:00 Welcome\n3:56 A Quiet Age\n7:59 The Morning at the Castle\n15:41 What the Judgment Left Behind\n19:09 The Steady Man\n23:44 The Long Waiting\n29:57 The Night of Snow\n36:38 The Walk to the Grave\n40:00 The Judgment of the Forty Seven\n44:17 The Quiet End\n49:30 Drifting\n52:24 The quiet night until morning\nListen with the video on YouTube: add the episode link.\nNew episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6pm Eastern.
