Vasara The Dark Side

Vasara is, in essence, a post-apocalyptic setting that features an ever present night sky and the cessation of most weather. The long, distant horizons that have long been shrouded in mist and shadow are rarely illuminated by the sight of a few, key cities scattered about the continent known as Elysian Bastions. These cities are the last remnants of civilization in the sense that many knew it before The Lightfall. Those that gather in these cities are able to bask in the omnipresent warmth and light of an artificial, arcane sun at the city's core.

These final few (literal) bastions of light all hold different ideologies, and their denizens disagree on what had truly saved them from total annihilation nearly two centuries ago. The Wissan Dominion believes that it was the scholars and arcanists from their city, Eo' Wissae, that are the reason the artificial suns were conceived, and they by proxy are the ones that saved everyone. The Luminforge Syndicate argues that, if it were not for their industry and intensely skilled artificers, the suns would have never been constructed. Those in Jaddregos assert that, if it were not for their people's sacrifice during the Lightfall's onslaught against all life, everyone would have died before anything could have been achieved. Whatever that answer may have been two millennia ago, it is their continued cooperation and specializations that keep civilization moving.
