Before The Black Sun

Sixteen years ago, Y/N’s father died in an incident that helped ignite the Great War. Two years after the war’s end, Y/N is still searching for answers, scraping together fragments of information while working alongside a ramshackle mercenary gang. It’s hardly exciting work, but it’s the closest they’ve ever come to uncovering the truth. Then the Morizo family offers the gang a repossession contract at an abandoned military installation in the mountains north of Shelthan. The very same installation where their father died. What begins as a routine recovery mission quickly unravels when the team discovers evidence of forbidden rituals, a hidden passage, and the ruins of an ancient dwarven city long believed lost to history. Beneath the mountain, something has survived. Something has changed. And the streets are crawling with horrors that should never have existed. Worse still, their target lies within a tower at the city’s heart, where an artificial sun burns over the ruins. The deeper the team ventures, the more the mission begins to resemble the incident that started a war. And for Y/N, the answers they’ve spent sixteen years chasing may be far more terrible than the truth they were promised.
