Dawning of Darkness:
The Fall of Gods
and Kings

Dawning of Darkness: The Fall of Gods and Kings explores events that take place on Afterworld before Leon’s arrival. It follows Arthur Pendragon, Dobrynya Nikitich, Joan D’Arc and others on their quest to save our universe from the one known to them only as the Dark Creator.

Full Synopsis

Systems fall. Planets die. Darkness dawns on us all.

When someone dies on Earth, their struggle should be over. Instead, humans awaken on Afterworld—an ancient realm beyond the stars, ruled by gods from another age.

Besieged by an encroaching darkness, these gods call upon the greatest champions our world has ever known. Legendary heroes like King Arthur, Joan d’Arc, and Ragnarr Loðdbrók must stand united against a force that threatens to swallow not only kingdoms, but the light of creation itself.

The final battle draws near.

In a war against unfathomable horrors that devour souls for pleasure, even legends may not be enough.

And if both Afterworld and our heroes fall, Earth itself may crumble beneath the power of the Dark Creator and his legions.
