Name: Metis
Status: Compact Core World
Metis is a matriarchal world whose culture draws heavily from Greek mythology, though its actual roots are a vibrant fusion of Irish and Caribbean influences. The capital city is dominated by a towering statue of the goddess Metis, depicted bursting from Zeus’s belly—a symbolic homage to wisdom and feminine power. Despite the mythological references, daily life on Metis is defined more by music, storytelling, and communal traditions inherited from its Irish and Caribbean cultural forebears. The local dialect, known for its melodic intonation, is often referred to as a “lilt.” Tishla, who learned Humanic while recovering in a Metisian hospital, speaks with this distinct accent. Interestingly, Davra Andraste—though raised on Bromdar—occasionally slips into a Metisian lilt under stress, a linguistic echo from her time among Metisians before adopting a flatter, more neutral Amargosan accent.
