Eclipsed Empires

A World Divided: Light vs. Shadow

In the realm of Eclipsed Empires, the Luminary Empire thrives under an unmoving sun, their society built on logic and scientific advancement. Gleaming quartz cities stand as testaments to their unwavering pursuit of knowledge. But a chilling prophecy haunts them: the end of the eclipse signifies their downfall.

Conversely, the Umbra Empire revels in Lunara’s twilight, their obsidian cities echoing with ancient rituals and hidden truths. Their world operates on the edge of shadows. These contrasting empires have a lot in store in Eclipsed Empires.

The Gloaming, a volatile frontier between these worlds, has birthed a terrifying new threat: the Gloomborn. These creatures of both light and darkness consume the very essence of their world, threatening to plunge both empires into oblivion, which is the setting of Eclipsed Empires.

The Weight of Leadership: Anya and Diana

Anya Lawson, the Sun Empress, embodies pragmatism, bearing the immense responsibility of leading the Luminary Empire. As the Gloomborn threat intensifies, her core beliefs are challenged, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew about the world and each other. The Eclipsed Empires brings challenges to each Empire.

Meanwhile, Diana Schneider, the Shadow Weaver, rules the Umbra with ethereal grace. She sees the Gloomborn not as mere monsters, but as symptoms of a cosmic imbalance, signaling a deeper problem that needs attention. Eclipsed Empires highlights their struggles as leaders.

An Unlikely Alliance: Kyle and Jonathan

Kyle Rivas, Anya’s advisor, is tormented by visions of a cosmic entity known as the Eclipse Eater. He pushes for an unthinkable alliance with the Umbra, a people long demonized by the Luminary society. In the Eclipsed Empires he seeks peace.

Jonathan, Diana’s son, harbors a secret fascination with the Luminary’s forbidden knowledge, longing for a universe beyond the eclipse. When Kyle arrives in the Umbra seeking help, he finds an unexpected kindred spirit in Jonathan. The alliance is highlighted in the Eclipsed Empires.

The Cosmic Threat: The Eclipse Eater

As the Gloomborn advance, driven by the insatiable hunger of the Eclipse Eater, Kyle and Jonathan embark on a desperate quest for knowledge. They discover that the eclipse is not a natural occurrence, but a cosmic lock, and the Eclipse Eater, a twisted guardian seeking to restore a “natural” order that will destroy everything.
