"Hello and welcome to the introduction of 'Steam and Shadow,' a fictional story created by me, Cici. In this podcast, you will delve into the tale of Maria Blackmore, a 29-year-old elixir shop owner. This ongoing narrative will intertwine with episodes that explore the history of the world, along with elements of horror. I am aware that eldritch themes are often associated with horror, and this is my unique interpretation of the lore.
Episodes will be released on Fridays, with occasional breaks for holidays. As we journey through the cobblestone streets of mystery and magic, upcoming episodes will reveal shocking secrets about Ruston's past, introduce enigmatic characters from the shadows, and plunge Maria into perilous encounters with the eldritch forces that lurk beyond the veil. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions, as alliances are tested, mysteries unravel, and darkness creeps closer than ever before. I hope you enjoy this journey and eagerly anticipate more. I would like to express a special thank you to Tech, Grim, Fey, Simmons, Oracle, and Runa. Their unwavering support and guidance have been invaluable to me on this creative endeavor."
