A Stage for the Sharp Ones

At first, Sunset Age was just a stage for sharp agents. I liked the romantic pull of the trade: men with gifts beyond the ordinary, hidden faces, and a job that mattered.Skill + divided lives + a calling — that is how I see a person. Skill sets us apart and forces us to work together. Divided lives make things messy; they corner us with hard choices. A calling is rare and often missing, but it gets you through the dark and keeps you from hollow things.

Story Line — Illustrated Novel

The story follows the founding of the Watchers, the coming of Noonfall, and the renaming of Hitai City as Sunset City. It ends when human society votes to replace the Grace Era with the Sunset Age.

It comes down to this: how a massive turn of an era turns on the quiet moves of ordinary people.

Board game Line

The board game line takes the form of a game within the story: Mark, a survivor of Noonfall, traced the disaster back to its source in search of the truth, then turned what he uncovered into a board game.

In the game, Noonfall is an unavoidable blow of fate. Players are agents from rival factions, moving through Hitai City. They fight for their own side and breaking the other guy's plans.They must also keep the city's chaos down. The longer they delay Noonfall, the more points they earn.

Fictional News Line

The fictional news line covers the period from the Total War of the Grace Era in 1937 to the present day, the twenty-sixth year after Noonfall—Sunset Age 026. It will continue to move slowly with real time.

It looks at the world through a neutral lens, laying out the groundwork: how the Sanstel credit system replaced cash to run the financial order; how mega-corporations took on sovereign power; and why technology stalled out.
