Echoes Beneath the Veil

In a world buried beneath the ruins of a dead sun, humanity survives under iron skies and soul-powered lamps. The Church of the Deep rules what remains, preaching that light is sin and ignorance is salvation. Elias Varn, a corpse collector in the city of Duskreach, stumbles upon a body with skin seared by sunlight—an impossibility in a world that has never seen dawn. Branded heretic, hunted by zealots and monsters alike, Elias descends into the labyrinth of forbidden truths. As he unravels the mystery of the lost Surface, he begins to change—his mind twisting, his blood echoing with voices of the dead. But beneath the veil of darkness, something ancient stirs… and it remembers the light.
