INTRODUCTION (in Progress)

Visualize the biggest mountain you can… Done? Good. Well, Kunsan's central mountain (simply called the Mountain) is way bigger than this. WAY BIGGER! You can basically see it from everywhere.

You want something more fun! The Sun doesn't simply go from one side to the opposite side (that would be too mainstream) but instead spirals in the sky, doing two whole turns in one day, and (as the Mountain is really big) you get (for free) a Mountainous eclipse mostly twice a day everywhere on Kunsan.

The downside of all this, there is no Moon. (Yeah, I know, what a bummer, no werewolf, and all that romantic stuff about a ball of rock floating in the sky).

So, what is that interesting about a couple of eclipses? Goblins! I will say. Why? Because Goblins fear the sunlight (they basically disintegrate in a few breaths due to an old and nasty curse)., which makes eclipse the perfect time to rampage on innocent farmers (or adventurers getting a good after-lunch rest). And more than that, their Æon (some sort of God but not really), Conquest, can teleport them wherever æ want, so you're never safe!

Wait! How a peaceful civilization can grow if Goblins can attack at any time there is no sunlight? I'll tell you, it's simple. Conquest is not the only Æon, the people of Kunsan (a.k.a. Kunsani) also have their own Æons (twelve of them to be precise). The Church uses relics to protect every village, town, and city with a sacred-shield that prevents Conquest from sending æs minions. (Obviously, æ can just send them a few feet from the sacred-shield, but Goblins are not the smartest creatures, and a good wall and a couple of not-so-blind archers can do the trick.

So we've got a big Mountain, a sun doing some tricky dance in the sky, and (vampire-)Goblins, where does it place you?

Goblins are not the only thorn in the side of your everyday farmer
