DAYS OF THE DEAD SUN

Fifty thousand years after the Fall of Man, the stars have gone out and the sun is black.

A DARK SCIENCE FANTASY UNIVERSE

THE WORLD

After the Fall

In 50,000 AD the Fall of Man destroyed the ancient human empires that ruled the stars. Then the stars themselves went out. The sun turned black, an eclipse that never ends, ringed with silver threads that give no heat.

​

What remains of humanity lives in the ruins of its ancestors. Scavengers dig the old machines out of the earth and trade them as decrepitech. Witches, mages and alchemists ply their arts beside them. The rich live in unimaginable luxury. The poor live like peasants.

​

Most of these chronicles are set on Old Terra, the cradle of mankind. Not all of them.
