AVE NOX

“By the grace of Solis, all shall be welcome” “By the will of Solis, all shall be equal” “By the hand of Solis, all shall be safe” "And so the night shall not consume us"

Promises made and promises broken, words that spelled the death of an entire civilization. Abducted from the surface and trapped below, a world bent to the maniacal will of the Sun-King.

For half a millennia, this world remained sealed until now.

What slithers and lurks in the dark after such a time? 

Ave Nox is a system-neutral mega-dungeon of forgotten history and disaster buried deep in the dark of the earth.

Players take on the role of sanctified archeologists, opportunistic delvers, or despised grave-robbers, all converging on a massive newly unearthed ruin. What starts as a curiosity turns into a grand expedition as the ruin reveals itself to be a subterranean megastructure, complete with ancient technology, strange treasures, and still-living agents of the Sun-King...

Cunning and curious adventurers may overcome the dangers and unravel the mysteries of this place, yet a greater peril awaits in the farthest depths. Deep in the dark, the Sun-King plots his apocalyptic return, one that will bury the world above in a tidal wave of fire and darkness.
