The New World

97 Sunrise

The end of the world came and passed three long generations ago. Everyone tells it differently: some remember the natural disasters, some remember only the creatures that appeared with them. Some say none of it mattered until the sun went black.   You are a child of the children of those who continued to fight in the darkness. You’ve grown up in one of the 6 Sanctuaries - natural settlements that developed in the aftermath, when the powers raging against the world slowed, then fell quiet. The sun returned, but survivors say it never seemed as bright as the days before the Dark came. The Sunrise Age has seen years continue to tick by - for now.   You’ve just arrived at the New World Sunrise Symposium, the first ever conference of all 6 Sanctuaries -- a day bound to go down in History, one way or another.
