Long ago, humanity warred among themselves, perishing in a cataclysm of fire and light. In its ruins stirred the seeds of magic, leading to the world’s second attempt at giving rise to civilisation. Thousands of years later, unaware of the fate of their precursors, the world’s inheritors—the Kin—dwell in the shadow of cities long dead, reshaping them into something of their own. Only time will tell if history repeats itself.
A post-post-apocalyptic fantasy setting where the sentient races are heavily-mutated humanoid versions of urban pest animals, and magic is a special form of radiation.
Mankind has unwittingly created its first god. The dense network of inner-city office buildings and skyscrapers—ever increasing due to the demands of corporations and real estate developers and the increasing urbanization of society—has grown so complex that it has developed an eldritch consciousness. Fifteen years in the future, and the City Unending spreads outwards and upwards like a vast tumor. The people inside it have reacted to their imprisonment in a multitude of ways, but what are the the movements of a single bacterium to a body infinite?
A weird fiction setting about a city that gained an alien consciousness and the people trapped inside it, fifteen years after its awakening.
