The story takes place 99 years after the Solar Apocalypse. A solar flare of intense radiation that scorched the earth,
forever Changing life as we know it.
“The New Spectrum” of light bathes the earth in strange radiation from the Sun. This radiation caused humans to mutate into new forms, still human, but also something more, called Variants.
Each month another wavelength of the new spectrum comes to dominate the intensity and focus from the fractured sun and its power violently changes the landscape and alters the essential physics of the world.
The world is now filled with unknown dangers, unbelievable miracles, and mind breaking revelations.
Inhabitants of this world must struggle to survive the burnt and merciless landscape. They will deal with Constant challenges, warring factions, scarcity of resources and finding their own place in the world. Each survivor can choose their profession to focus on what they feel will help them survive the most. They can utilize the vibrant crafting system, help scrounge for resources, Research the world around them, Explore mystical arts, devote their efforts toward martial training, focus on healing and even form trade relationships. Will they team up with other survivors or try to go it alone?
fractures in space and time occur where the light is most intense to open gateways to other worlds, timelines, and realities. They most often appear as crevasse-like holes in space.
Active Solarity is an indication of mental well-being. It is a measure of morale and mood. A calm, inspired mind is able to hold more than one suffering trauma or demoralization. Mechanically solarity can be used to power Sidereal Rites, certain types of alien technology, and by psychics choosing to power their abilities or spectral crystals. When stores of one’s active Solarity have been depleted inhabitants may be overcome by Solar Sickness, making them particularly susceptible to certain environmental effects subject to the dominant aspect of the new spectrum.
inhabitants have found that the New Spectrum has caused a process they call Solar revivification. This is when a sentient being dies, it activates the prismatic energy dormant within their cells and that energy seeks to restore what was lost. How often this happens is based on Permanent Solarity.
Sun-Seared are humans who have lost their stored spectral energy, when that happens They lose their mind and will to the New Spectrum’s influence. The Sun-Seared are insane by definition but they are not totally irrational, they form tribe-like cults worshiping the new spectrum, mostly focusing on one of the distinct light forms.
It's yours to take if you can. It is yours to survive, or thrive within. A wanderer under the Fractured Sun.
