EDENFALL: Breaking Dawn

The Fall

Before the Fall was the Old World, with buildings high as the sky and bright as light itself.
Yet, they were not prepared for what was coming.

As Eden struck the Moon and tore it apart, they watched the beginning of their end.
Eden and the Moon fell together, and the earth broke beneath them.

In the panic that followed, the nations turned on each other.
Their weapons burned and poisoned what Eden had spared.

The Long Dark

Then came Ruin.

It spread from the crater where the comet fell.
It rose into the sky and blotted out the sun.
It soured the land.
It twisted animals into beasts.
It changed the people who survived, generation by generation, until none of them were what they had been.

For centuries, nothing grew. Nothing healed.

Every people survived in its own way. Every people paid for it.

Breaking Dawn

Now the Dark is breaking. But only in one place.
In the crater where the world ended, a tree is growing out of whatever fell.
Aether pours from it, and where it reaches, the clouds part and the sun breaks through for the first time in living memory.
Water runs clean, the land turns green and wounds close.

The shamans call it Eden. Beyond it, the Long Dark goes on.

Four peoples step into the light. None of them understands it. All of them want it.

Whoever understands it first will inherit this new world.
