Haliya and Alpharael clash once more, but now Sami and Tan are caught in the middle, and looming over all of this is the mysterious Metalman with his own objectives...

356 - The Metacosmology of the Edge

This week we're joined by the incredible Seth Dickinson, author of Exordia, The Traitor Baru Cormorant, and most notably for us, the story for Edge of Eternities. We talk about the process of writing a brand new universe for Magic, the genesis of the End Stone's narration, and how Mallowmass became the economic structure of Pinnacle.

Seth also shared with us some really incredibly cool designs commissioned as inspiration for the Seriema, which look very different from the art direction of the set. You can see an example in this episode's art.
