Description of government: The government of the anathema that used to be humanity is a mysterious thing. It is there, yet it is not. They have long since given up traditional leaders.

Technological Overview: They have left little behind, nothing but strange ruins scattered across the galaxy, and strange artefacts of mysterious and magical power. Many have experimented on these artefacts, but few survived to tell the tale. However, with recent, these artefacts have been showing up more and more frequently. Everything from bombs to noisemakers, from medicine dispensaries to skin flayers. These artefacts have little consistency, rhyme, or reason. They can appear in the most unexpected of places, their purpose unknowable. However, applied with a certain type of illusory magic, a hole in causality can be formed from these artefacts.

This hole, this mysterious and eldritch hole, leads to what can best be described as a void. Logic ceases to exist, unseen machines clank, and places long past and present, swallowed into this void, can be explored. It is, however, filled with dangerous particle fields, capable of eating people alive and turning them into more particle fields. Like a ghostly plague. These fields are unaffected by magic, but electrical arks of the mundane quality work excellently in dispatching them.

The strange ruins are often found with long-abandoned research stations around them, the mysterious stations and outposts having never achieved their goal. Creatures considered only mythological roam nearby these ruins, from Wendigos to Blemmyes. Not only that, but the insides are often puzzling and eldritch, utilizing mysterious tools and inexplicably placed mazes, as an example, to progress through. However, whispers abound th[color=red]Ą̕T͞͠ ̷̵̧͜͜I̸͢͡͝͝S̸͘ ̡̕͠Ǹ͠O͏̢̢́͡T̢̨̕͞ ̶́͢T̸҉̶̛͞H͜͢͞Ȩ͞I̢͟Ŗ͘͢͡ ͟͜͢͟C̛̀͢͝O̸̢͏̡N͏̕͟͝Ş̧̧T͡͏̛͞R̨U̷̶҉̵͟Ć̷̶́̕T̷̛͢ ̷̶͜͢͝D̢͟͏̛O̶̴͞ ̢͢͡Ņ̨͜Ò̴̵̢͠T҉͏ ̀͞B҉̷̨̛͜R͏̵̷Ȩ̧͝͡Ą̕Ķ̛ ͘͏́͢T̴̛H̢E͘͝͞ ̢͘͡Ć͠O̢͏͢͠N҉҉҉̨̀Ţ̡͘͠A̷̷̢͝Į̷̸҉͘Ń̴́͠ḾE̡̕͠N̸̵̡͜͞T҉ ̷̴̛̀́I̶̷̢͡ ̶̨͡B̡̢͜͡E̵͘G̸̀͠ ̴̵̵͟Ǫ͜F҉ ̧͞Y̵̵͢Ò̷͡U̕̕ ̴̢̢͜T̶̵H̶̴̡̡͞Ȩ̸͘͟҉ ̢̕S͏͡U͞҉͡͏͞Ǹ̡̕͠ ̨͝͡T̀̀͜H̨̛E̢̕ ̶̧̀́͢S̷҉̀͠U͘҉̸͜Ǹ̵̡͟͝ ̸̨͜҉T̀͢͡͏͘H̴̸́҉E͞͏͏́ ̡̡͢Ş̛́U̵͢͝Ǹ͝͞ ̵̢̛̀́T̴҉̢̧͜Ḩ̛͘̕͜È̷̢̨ ̢̢S̨̀Ú͞N̴̶͠ ̕͢T̶͠H̵͘͟͞E̵͠ ͏́̀S͝U̢͘͘͞N̕͞[/color]at these ruins are not of regular creation, but are built to contain some vast horror.

History: Earth, that shining jewel, once held life upon it. Earth, the lost cradle. Earth, the jewel of the fall. From it sprang forth the various creatures of Terran descent, from dinosaurs to fish. From fish to humanity. They were a relatively young species, humanity. Thousands of years ago, before the fall, they lived and loved as much as any other creature. Before the fall, they were human. Before the fall, they had a chance. They were at first, a prehistoric species.

From bashing rocks together to creating fire, they worshiped their gods and slowly advanced. They were persistence hunters, running down their prey through sheer endurance.

Humans were snuffed out before Babylon existed. The fall took all. Now all that is left is the sun. No more planets orbit it. Nothing but a ship. A ship beyond the technology of the peoples of Earth. Upon it, the metal being, the guardian. Do not talk to the metal being. It will not respond. It guards. It guards. Do not go to that wretched place. The fall. THE FALL. THE FALL. THE FALL. No more humans are visible to the universe or the four beings. Nothing but the automaton, the guardian of the sun. The guardian against the fall. The keymaster.

The outer perimeter of the sun is filled with the wrecked ship hulks of civilizations long past. Their intentions just as mysterious as their origins. For reasons not known, each hulk contains naught but a single key. A single key. Throw it into space. It is not meant for your hands. They are not for your hands.
