Abyss of Light
** IN WORKING **
Abyss of Light – A World Consumed by Darkness
In an alternate timeline, the colonization of the Americas and Africa never fully happened. The British Empire remained isolationist and never dominated global trade, allowing regional powers to rise. The world map is now unrecognizable.
But a new catastrophe has struck—an unexplained phenomenon is causing the sun to slowly lose its light.
As the days grow darker, panic spreads, and the world order collapses. Revolutions, civil wars, and chaos become the new reality. Old empires fall, replaced by new ideologies and dystopian states.
Features:
A militaristic theocracy in Germany, where the Keepers of the Flame rule through faith and sacrifice.
A fragmented France, torn by warring revolutionary republics and anarchists who seek total destruction.
A Russian Empire under the Tsar of the Night, enforcing absolute control through fear and censorship.
China divided between warlords—some seeking salvation through science, others through faith.
Japan in total isolation, enforcing extreme self-sufficiency.
India split into merchant kingdoms fighting for control of coal and oil, the last sources of light.
North America, where native confederations have risen as dominant powers, defending their lands with advanced technology.
South America, plagued by nomadic warbands who believe cities must burn to "purge the shadow."
Africa, where hidden cities and brutal regimes compete for survival, with rumors of artificial daylight technology in the Congo.
New Factions & Ideologies:
The Luminarians – A secretive group striving to build an Artificial Sun.
The Cult of the New Dawn – Extremists who believe only the strongest should survive the eternal night.
The Industrial Coalition – A ruthless organization monopolizing energy and fuel.
Darkness is coming. The world is on the brink. Who will survive the abyss?
