The world of Dämmerlicht—the Gloaming Realm—is one perpetually poised on the brink of ruin. Once a vibrant and sprawling empire of city-states, ruled by enlightened councils and warrior-kings, it now festers under the weight of its own decay. The sun hangs weak and pale, casting the land in a perpetual twilight. Each day is a fleeting battle against the encroaching shadows, for in the darkness dwell horrors both ancient and new.
