Storytelling
Core central themes to use in campaign building or storytelling. The ideas that I believe are key to what I want each Age to explore and reflect to the audience. (Shawshank Redemption, Cthulhu Mythos, Half-Life, The Road)
 * Hope. The only thing that can save someone from agony.
 * Redemption. No one deserves to suffer for their offenses forever. At some point, everyone deserves a chance to start anew.
 * Humanity is small and inconsequential in the larger universe. Man's hubris and the inevitable disasters that it leads too. The true understanding of reality is dangerous.
 * Is a One-Man Army Icon or Rebellion against an Orwellian state truly a hero? Is the hero a truly free individual or are they an unwitting pawn of circumstances and forces beyond his understanding or control?
 * Hold onto your humanity when even hope is gone.

Aesthetics
''Desolation and ruin. Black obelisks.''

Timeline
This timeline uses the common calendar of the Aves Belief (AB) and places its year 1 at the start of the fifth age, the Age of Discovery (3,200 years after the start of recorded history). This is the first year following the destruction of the moon, the exile of the human empire, and the breaking apart of the old world into the new.
