Great episode, if a bit short.

The glimpses of more of the world that Metamor exists in were fun. I enjoyed hearing about the Sidhe partisans struggle, which nicely brought in some of the greater geopolitical issues. The descriptions of the character disguises was refreshing as well. I would like to know more about the various races/nationalities that were mentioned though. What is a Irombian, Kitchlander or a Sathmoran?

Now that I think about it, I have two conclusions. First, I am enjoying the mystery. It leaves me wanting more. Chris seems to have found the correct balance between explaining this complex creation of his and not allowing the story get bogged down with exposition. This leaves plenty of room for our imagination. Second, Chris has mastered the art of layering information, teasing us with these various races/nationalities. Now it is time to trust that he will relay more detail to us as the story unfolds.

I promised to keep my interference in the episode discussions to a minimum, but I do want to point out the maps on the website in case people haven't seen them:

World Map (some parts still undefined)

Political Map of Galendor

Kitchlande and Irombi are continents; Sathmore is the part of Galendor that now includes the provinces of Quelinney, Cymru, Orien, and the Highlands.

Those looking for more background info might want to check the About Metamor City page on the website. I'll take any follow-up questions about this in the "Ask the Author" page. :)

Cheers,

Chris

As we enter the home stretch to the next episode, anyone care to speculate if there will be any casualties? Who will survive the upcoming encounter in the space port? Who will not?

It's like Shakespeare: everybody dies.
