>>>YEAR: 1872 A.D. [28 S.D.]
- Humanity enters the Industrial Age.
- Global temperatures begin to plummet.
- Yearly solar exposure sees a downturn to 88%,
>>>YEAR: 1879 A.D. [21 S.D.]
- In response to temperature drops, the general population flocks to cities, which have been fitted for improved heating and insulation.
- Corp yield lowers significantly. Rationing begins.
- The Stellar Theory sees first publication.
- Yearly solar exposure sees a downturn to 73%
>>>YEAR: 1885 A.D. [15 S.D.]
- Due to increasing reduction in crop yields, governments turn to alternative forms of agriculture. Mushroom based diets become common, and a primitive form of hydroponics begins to be implemented on a mass scale.
- Winter now occupies roughly half of the solar year.
- Global superpowers enter a state of international conflict, warring over whatever resources they can secure before the state of affairs worsens. [INITIATION OF EVENT: DAYLIGHT WAR]
- Yearly solar exposure sees a downturn to 55%
>>>YEAR: 1890 A.D. [10 S.D.]
- Almost all of the human population is now concentrated within major city centers. Vast swathes of land are deemed inhospitable due to low arability and lack of infrastructure to compensate. [INITIATION OF EVENT: LONG WINTER]
- Yearly solar exposure sees a downturn to 23%
>>>YEAR: 1900 A.D. [0 S.D.]
- Yearly solar exposure sees a downturn to 0%
- The Final Sunset occurs. [INITIATION OF EVENT: LAST NIGHT]
- Approximately 92 months pass, as estimated by lunar cycles.
- 93% of the human population is now concentrated within major cities. The majority of terrestrial wildlife migrates to the fringes of city areas, which are kept warm via mass heating. Oceans freeze, and blizzards sweep the planet.
- Global communication grinds to a halt. At the onset of The Last Night, 57 major city centers stand. 23 of them fall to either civil unrest, the failure of major infrastructure, or environmental disaster during this period. The remaining 34 declare the independence as City States at varying times over the course of The Last Night event.
- Within City State 13, later named Campus Town, the Stellar Cult is formed.
>>>YEAR: 1 S.E.
- The skies turn white.
- 17 Stellar Bodies manifest, orbiting the planet.
- The Last Night Event concludes.
- The Long Winter Event concludes.
Centuries ago, The Final Sunset saw the end of the old world, plunging all things into a seven year darkness. A black winter engulfed the planet, hailed as the cataclysmic end to all things, but it was not to be. Throughout it all, humanity endured. Even as the cold hand of death crept across the planet, we prepared. The decades prior to Sunset saw mankind flock to great cities, built tall and strong, fortified to endure the end, and endure they did.
On the year 0 S.D. The Sun- the celestial bosom within which all civilization was raised, within the light of which our forefathers bathed- abandoned us. Limp and spent, it failed in its eternal duty, and threw us into the jaws of The Night.
For seven long years the world endured death's embrace. There were seven years of darkness, seven years of cold, seven years until light returned to the skies, never to leave us again.
The beginning of the Stellar Era was marked by the emergence of seventeen stars, burning bright and bold in the sky. Daylight and warmth returned to the world, and for the first time in almost a decade, a new day began. A day that would never end.
As the world approaches the fourth century of the Stellar Calendar, it stands changed completely. New nations mark new borders, great empires blossoming out from the seeds of the city states which once sheltered humankind from the storm. New bounties flourish across the face of the world, new Laws preside over old lands, bringing with them a spectrum of possibilities once thought the realm of pure fiction.
And, throughout it all, The Daylight War rages. The New Nations of the world march within the Light of their patron Stars, each imbued with a divine, celestial purpose. To see their savior, which garnishes the land with its blessings, to stand supreme in the skies. To become the New Sun, and bathe the world in its light.
Where you stand in all of this remains to be seen. Waylaid in whatever journey your life has set you on, you find yourself in the border town of Mark, nestled between the territories of one of the Stellar Empires and the neutral state of Campus Town. Here, the light of The Seventeen is muddy, and Laws which were never destined to meet intermingle with one another in a show of chromatic brilliance. The air buzzes with energy, and the tides of the coming century have already started to turn.
Your place in it unknown, you take another step forward. Another hour passes in the only day you've ever known.
Hi! Disaster here. I haven't made an interest check in a hot minute. Basically I'm looking for around ten players for an adventure-maybe plus mystery-maybe sort of RP. The pinboard lore kinda mystery, not the murder mystery kind. We won't be starting soon soon, but I will be inviting people to a discord server while I get things set up. Basically, I want to open the floor to players to include things within the lore that might be interesting to then incorporate into their characters. Nations and magic and history and stuff. Tech levels in my mind are, like, WW1 but with funny magic. Maybe there are aliens too. Probably not though. Vibes I'm thinking like Sunless Skies, Library of Ruina, Fear and Hunger 2, prob some other stuff I'm forgetting too.
Thanks for reading! Hope to hear from anyone who's interested in the pitch.
