As The Sun Falls is set in the Land of Nod, a fantasy universe loosely based on the the Bible after the expulsion from Eden but before Noah and his ark.
The Land of Nod lies to the east of Eden, a fertile river delta in the midst of the desert. It is a place full of faith, of religion, of the worship of God... a place full of power. Magic is the fruit of faith, blessing those who seek the One True God. Divine works resound with mythic significance, with the echoes of past miracles serving as foundations for the stories that will bring forth new ones. The descendants of Adam cover the land; they talk, trade, compete, play, war, love, and pray as best they know how. Technology ranges from neolithic to late bronze age, with anachronisms as appropriate. Shared Paths have formed, precursors to organized religions, bringing the people together to worship God.
As The Sun Falls is a live-action roleplaying game set in the Land of Nod universe, early in its history.
It is the eve of the Sunfall War. The hosts of heaven are arrayed against each other, and nature turns against itself. The leaders of the tribes of man have gathered for a last council before the darkness falls.
This is a game of mortal and immortal politics. The tribal leaders are here to forge last alliances, provide for their people, and determine their place in the coming war. The Morningstar and the Archangels have sent representatives to inform, guide, and tempt.
