The Metamor City Podcast

In the 699th year of the Cristos Reckoning, the Dark Wizard placed his Curse on the valley of Metamor. He twisted our bodies and minds to serve his deranged appetites. He sought to rule us, as he ruled the Northlands.

We didn’t bow so easily.

Thirteen hundred years have passed since then, and Metamor leads a benevolent empire that spans half a continent. What was once a rural valley with one large castle has become a towering metropolis of fifteen million people, with four layers of magically-suspended roads and buildings that rise hundreds of meters into the sky.

The Curse is still with us, but we’ve controlled it … mostly. But you’re a fool if you think that means you’re safe. In the shadows of Metamor’s glittering spires, beneath the glamour and glory of the Jewel of the North, dark things are stirring. The battle for the future is beginning, and more and more people are learning the one eternal truth about Metamor City:

No one who comes here ever leaves unchanged.

Welcome! You’ve found the future home of Tales from Metamor City, a podcast featuring novels and short fiction set in a world where science fiction and fantasy collide.

My name is Chris Lester. I’m the creator of the Metamor City setting; online I’m also known as Etherius or Raven Blackmane. Over the coming months I’ll be gathering the resources necessary to bring the world of Metamor alive in podcast fiction. Starting in September 2007 you can expect to see podcast versions of short stories begin to appear in our RSS feed, leading up to the debut of my first full-length novel, Making the Cut. I’m making plans for guest appearances by other members of the podcasting community, but I’ll be keeping mum on the specifics until we get the details hammered out.

In the meantime, watch this space for more details on the world of Metamor and my ongoing efforts to bring it to life. Welcome to the City!
