Skybreak

The rebirth of the Sun

This world-changing event marked the formal end of the Age of Poisoned Sea and Sky and the beginning of global renewal. Skybreak is a heavily mythologized event that is recognized in diverse ways by various survivor culture groups. For example, the solar cults of the The Forbidden Zone refer to Skybreak as the Rebirth of the Sun. This particular myth posits that the Sun God's return from lunar exile led to a literal rekindling of the "celestial throne" or "seat of heaven."

While it is doubtful that the actual circumstances of Skybreak involved such divine intervention, it is widely believed among story-keepers and chroniclers that some kind of technological intervention brought about the eventual dissipation of the near interminable conditions of toxic cloud cover and prolonged winter that characterized the first age of the post-apocalyptic Earth. Great technological workings such as the Trinity Pump Station and the Lucerne matter converter block house remain as monumental testaments to the strange myth-science that finally rescued humanity from destruction. That such science should form the stuff of traditional mythological narratives should come as no surprise to anyone.
