>The skies are dead and lifeless, littered with the thrones of dead gods, and light by the dimming light of dying stars

The power of magic fluctuates with the phases of the moon, which are worshiped as if each phase was a member of a pantheon.

>The Moon is a mass of living light, theorized to be the last remnants of the old Pantheon before they were consumed.

Reality as we understand it is enforced only by the weakening power of the sun, which is itself a comatose, slowly dying cosmic entity. During the daytime, everything is fine. During the night, time and space and the boundaries between worlds begin to break down, and unnameable horrors creep in through the cracks of existence.

The nights are getting longer every year.

>Great Bioships that harness the power of the Sun and Moon are sent out into the lifeless sky, desperate to find anything, be they ancient artifact, fragment of a dead god, or even a another species trying to survive in a cosmos filled with unending nightmare.
>Sometimes luck finds them, and they chance across one or more of these things, but most of the time all they find are dead worlds inhabited only by abominations beyond naming, and the cold, ever dimming light of the heavens.

>>53623511
>When they do find a remnant, they take it back with them to the great underhives, where humanity lives in underground bunkers networked across the globe. There, with vaults filled with the leftovers of ancient powers and divine refuse, they burn the god furnaces that keep their world and their reality alive just a bit longer. But there is always less and less fuel to be found, and the nights are getting longer...

>>53623564
>Human souls may be burnt in the god furnaces, as they are sparks of the divine, but this is now rare. A soul so consumed cannot be reborn, and so the population slowly shrinks as other fuels run out and the nights grow longer.

>>53623664
Should have said "unwise" rather than "now rare".

>Nobody knows why the cosmos is dying. Some think a great curse might have befallen everything, some think that the Gods abandoned them, but these are usually disregarded since many find fragments of the now-dead gods drifting throughout the lifeless skies, but that raises the question, what killed them?
>All that is known for certain is that their is a great darkness devouring all worlds, all things, and there isn't much time left.

The Bloodtide. Th blood, the life essence of countless gods who perished ages past, and were consumed.
>It drifts through the cosmos, occasionally being sighted by Bioships at times as it drifts by through the lifeless depths
>Sometimes debris of dead civilizations, or fragments of godly power are carried along with the Bloodtide, making them a great way for Bioships to harvest remnants and artifacts.

...and it's already shit. Dark malign forces aren't interesting.

Reality was created to sell miniatures

Truly the worst timeline

What dark malign forces? So far it's just 'this universe is dying'. The night creatures are probably just carrion feeders
