The Planet Dwan
I had a vision while I slept last night. I was high above Dwan, watching as the old, hollowed out world tumbled through the utter blackness of space, sunless and fossilized like some kind of skull grinning into nothing.
But the nothing wasn’t empty, and the nothing was hungry.
--37th of Copper, Year 30
Geography
Once, Dwan was home to a trillion immortal dwarves and the capital planet of the immortal Dwarven Empire which claimed dominion over hundreds of galaxies. Then Death was released into the material realm, and all the great empires of the immortals succumbed to the machine hivemind known as the Thanixian.
Now, without a sun or a solar system, Dawn floats free through dark space. Its surface is a frozen and desolate wasteland pitted with craters and scars from the last battle against the Thanixian, 75 years ago. The entire planet is protected from the Thanixian, which still hunts for the few remaining pockets of life in the material realm, by the elder dragon of Order called Shashada, and the rune she drew inside the Great Forge of Stadupglod.
The crust of the planet is honeycombed with the Oldroad, the remnants of the huge dwarven cave metropolis that existed before Death, which is now home to many horrors and fantastic creatures that also have made refuge on Dwan, awaiting the day when the Thanixian is defeated and life can once again retake the material realm.
