A Fantasy Worldbuilding Audio Narrative.
Let me tell you of my world, Vhul.

Its history, the memories of its people, they drift upon the black sea roiling just outside these walls.

And if I am lucky, I may pluck something worth telling from those depths.

We'll start at Rham Sek, the Great City of the Swamp.

Then we'll meet a group of friends at play in a dusty plaza of that city and follow them as they go on an adventure.

Sushya Sek will come next, and all the mysteries of the God Mage who rules it.

So, sweet listener, come with me as I weave these visions into the story of the end of my world - The Fall of Vhul.

Hi!
I’m Fox Keyes.
Shortly after my fourteenth birthday, I was tricked into passing through an inter-dimensional gateway to a world called Dunari.
Years later, I’m still here.
And ready to talk about it.
From killer toilets to killer Spirit Storms, and just about everything in between, I will describe how I learned to survive living in another world.
This podcast is for creatives who think outside the box.
Perhaps you are a role-playing gamer searching for a unique character angle? Or maybe you’re a games master designing something cool. Or are you a world builder or author seeking inspiration to bring your unique, inner vision to life?
If so, my insights and experiences in Dunari may help.

Twice monthly, I will relate aspects of my life here, and provide context which may help you world build.
