SettingThe World
Meridian City — a fictional metropolis of glass towers, night markets, and riverfront dawns. It exists only in Miles Walker's stories, and he knows every block of it.
Meridian City is invented. It is not a renamed real city and its districts are not allegories with one-to-one real counterparts. Treating it as fiction is what keeps the site honest — see Methodology.
A city built for walking
Meridian is drawn, in the lore, as a city that rewards pedestrians: a riverfront promenade for dawn runs, a subway that actually runs on time, an elevated park stitched between towers, and staircases — so many staircases — that Miles climbs as a matter of principle. (“Elevators are for packages,” he says in one story. “I deliver myself.”)
The districts
The City Guide walks each district in detail — Dawnside's rooftops, Goldline Avenue's towers, the Foundry District's workshops, Lantern Row's night market, and the riverfront he runs at 5:30 AM. Each district has its own hour: Dawnside belongs to sunrise, Goldline to the 9 AM rush, Lantern Row to midnight.
The city's moods
Miles reads Meridian the way other people read weather. In his stories the city has four moods, and he has a walk for each: dawn (ambition — the rooftop hour), rush (discipline — the subway hour), dusk (reflection — the riverfront hour), and midnight (honesty — the Lantern Row hour, when the city tells the truth).
Why the city matters
The card line says “walking city streets,” not “conquering” them. Meridian isn't a prize to be won; it's the medium Miles moves through. His adventures (three seasons of them) are all, at bottom, about the same thing: learning to belong to a place while reaching past it.
