Equinox is a gigantic, tidally locked world where the sun never sets and never rises.

Its rotation perfectly mirrors its orbit, leaving one scorched hemisphere, Everburn, in eternal daylight: a harsh, cratered wasteland of scrap cities, brutal survival, and relentless heat.

On the other side lies Nyxthra, a realm of endless night - frozen, eldritch, and haunted by shadowed forests, swamp-choked ruins, and gothic citadels. Between them stretches a narrow band of perpetual twilight, a verdant cradle of rivers and forests where life clings on in balance.

Across the scorched wastes of Everburn and the frozen shadows of Nyxthra, legends speak of two ancient shrines: twin monoliths, one in fire and the other in frost, buried deep beneath stone and ash. Said to predate all known civilization, these structures pulse with forgotten energy, their purpose lost to time. Some call them myth. Others call them engines.

Ruins hint at a planetary mechanism designed not to stop time, but to start it again. If activated, the twin shrines could force Equinox to spin once more, breaking the eternal divide between light and dark.
